A Fresh Gripman Brought to Terms.

stop that car, or we will let you have itP
This command was hurled from behind a
line of leyeled muskets at the gripman of a
cable train at the corner of Court and Vine
streets last evening about o'clock.
The gripman promptly stopped the car
and just as promptly dropped down behind
the dashboard of the car. The muskets
came down, and after time the gripman
peeped over the railing slowly and eau
tiously. Then he started the car, but he
moved along at funeral pace.
Those who leveled the muskets at him
were the mlitiamen in the rear rank of the
last company in the First Regiment, which
was en- route on the march to Woodsdale ISL
and. The gripman. who was exceedingly
fresh, thought TO have little spark with
the boys. and ran the car uncomfortably
close to their heels. Fearing that they
would be run down, the miIitianlen turned
and brought their guns down upon the fell
low. Their action was observed by the
Lieutenant, who ran up and made them fall
in line and march ahead. The affair Gre
ated no little excitement. and the gripman
received a round roasting from the crowd
that witnessed the scene.-Cincinnati En-

Woodward's Gardens were filed as the y
seldom are yesterday afternoon. The occa-
sion was the twenty-frst anniversary of
the entry of the Italian troops into Rome,
and thousands of the sous and daughters Of
sunny Italy gathered to celebrate the event.
On the 10th of September, 1870, the Italian
troops, through the efforts of Cavour, Carl
baldi and the sword of Victor Emanuel,
gained entrance through POrta Pia into the
historic city. AS this event had its twenty
first birthday yesterday, the Italian people
then attained their majority as united
nation.
At 10 o'clock the days event commenced
with procession under the auspices of the

1t was made up of three divisions. The

THE WHITE" NEGRESS DEAD.
A Case That Puzzled the Best Physicians
of the Country.

A Case That Puzzled the Best Physicians
of the Country.
Dinah Tn ompsoD, the old cOlored woman
who two years ago was talked about all
over the country because she was turning
white, died at Passaic recently. In 1889 the
woman was as black as ebony. Suddenly
she commenced to turn white. Large
white spots appeared on every part OF her
body; some of them had yellow hue.
Physicians from the Eastern States inter-
ested themselves in the case, but none Of
them could discover the cause of this
strange freak of nature. Mrs. ThompsOn's
face and almost the whole of her back had
turned white, and she was beginning 10
think that she would soon be perfectly
transformed in color; but in this she was
mistaken, for almost as suddenly as the
strange disease had started SO did 1t stop.
Many showmep, among them the late 2.
T. Barnum, tried TO induce Dinah TO allow
them to exhibit her, but she became fright
ened and refused. The disease caused her
much worriment. and she decided to with
draw from the gaze OF the public. This she
did about year ago, and she was seldom
seen since, even by her colored heighbors in
"Frogtown." When she died her face is
said to have again turned as black as it for
merly had been, while the other white
blotches had turned pale yellow. Some
physicians said the woman had the lep-
rosy. - Paterson special to Philadelphia

But the banana skin had glued itself to the

he gave up the attempt and walked away.
After his departure newsboy, who had
been watching, approached the spot and re-
newed the kicking. The obstinate banana
skin, however, had fastened itself firmly,
and the newsboy's attempt resulted in the
spreading of the banana skin over quite a

NOT LIKELY TO FIGHT.

No News OF a Row Between San Sal
vador and Guatemala.
A CALL reporter boardd the steamer
Colima yesterday afternoon in search of
news regarding the reported trouble be-
tween San Salvador and Guatemala.
EVERY thing is quiet along the coast and
we heard nothing to warrant the rumors
that war is impending between the two re-
publics," said an officer of the steamer.
Every one knows that there is not much
love lost between them, but so far as we
could learn no one is thinking of war. OF
course something may turn up at any time
that would be regarded as Unsuitable cause
for declaring war on each other, and il
would not surprise me IL Guatemala should
try to pick quarrel with her neighbor. So
far as / could learn, however, San Salvador
desires to remain at peace with the world
and will not fight unless forced to do So"
