TAKEN FOR A RUBE.

Marshal Dye, of Marietta, o., Outwits
Green Goods DIen and RecOvers $1,000
They Had Taken From a Farmer
offered Two Other Similar Jobs.
PARKERsBURG, w. VA, Dec. 30.-[Spe-
cidL IA citizen OF this section who was
bitten early in the month to the tune OF
81, 900 by green goods operators in New
York, engaged the services of Marshal Dye,
of Marietta, to help him recover his good
money. Dye lett home one day last week
without advertising his destination, aud he
has Just passed through this city on his
return trip with the 81 900 in his possession.
He placed himself in communication with
the green goods men, and about ten days
ago he met one of them by appointment at
Grafton. The Marshal had the makeup OF
a country "Rube, and it'was so artistic lilly
done that he was never suspected of play
ing part until he got where he. could un-
cover. He went from Grafton to New
York with the 'dealer," whom he met at
the former place, an ostensible deal having
been made whereby Dye was to buy 81, 600
worth OF the goods. From New York the
dealer took him to place in Jersey, only
short distance from the city, and made him
his guest a. a fine country place, where.
after the usual 'jollying," two other men
were introduced as the real sellers OF the
stuff
DYE relates that they were elegant fel-
lows, and they offered him a great deal.
Showing him an immense roll of what was
manifestly genuine currency, they offered
to give him S28, 900 of the same kind for
81, 900 in good money. Dye had had de-
tective follow them to the place, and had
arranged that if he was unable to handle
the game alone he would signal the de tee
tive for assistance. When the deal was
seemingly on the verge of consummatlon
within the house, Dye said
"a thousand dollars is a lot of money.
I'd rather get it than give it. You took
81, 900 from man at such time and place
(naming the party for whom he was at
work), and now before go you'll pay me
back that money or I'll blow the head off
your stool pigeon.
The gang were surprised, but not scared,
and Dve had to stand them off with a pistol
while he called the detective to his assist
ance, or, as he SAYS, they would have killed
him. When the other officer came in the
fellows weakened and cheerfully turned
over the money demanded. The detective
from New York then wanted to make case
against the men, but this was the one thing
the man who had sent Dye on the errand
wished to avoid. So the New York officers
objections to compounding felony had to
be overcome in the usual way, and alto
gether the trip was an expensive one. But
the Marshal brought back a pretty fair
share of his employers $1,000, and he said
he was hardly in the State before two other
men approached him to undertake the same
sort OF job Tor them.

Although chronic catarrh in this climate
is nearly always caused by neglected colds.
occasionally the exciting cause is traced to
irritating particles OF dust and exposure To-
foul air, as of coal mines, factories. etc.
This foTm of catarrh is due to particles OF
fine Gust being carried in the air, inspired.
inhaled from the mote-laden atmosphere IN
shops, mines, factories, etc, and to which
stonecutters, cutters. coal miners, brass
workers, nailers, sawmakers, etc, are lia-

This at times so affects the system that the
patient, before he isaware OF it. suffers from
almost total nervous prostratiOn and debil-

tating particles of dust flying in the air, and

The following statement of Mr.. Patrick

FIGHT IN A COURTROOM.

Two Prominent Attorneys Pass the Lie
and Then Go at Each Other-The
Judge Fines Both of Them-One of
the Lawyers Was Counsel in the
Celebrated sharon Case.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 30-[ Special J.
Judge Hebhard's courtroom was the scene
of disgraceful affray ts-day. whom two
prominent attorneys, e1-Judge O. P. Evans
and Charles F. Hanlon, exchanged the lie
and INDUCED in a rough-and-tumble fight
The Judge fined them $500 each, with five
DAYS in Jail, but remitted the imprisonment
penalty when they apologlzed.
The trouble grew out of the litigation
over the Donohue estate. Evans objected
to Hanlon's bill of costs. but the latter de-
clared that Evans had agreed to allow this
bill and paw penalty of $500 his client
had incurred for Ndisobeying court order.
Evans fatty asserted that he had made no
such promise, whereupon Hanlan shouted:
''You are a liar
Evans, who is the larger man, immediate
ly struck out, but Hanlon lodged, and in a
moment the two men "mixed things" to
use slugging term. Neither got in any
effective blows before they were separated.
The Judge then read them a lecture and
imposed INES ana imprisonment, Dut ne
had not the nerve to insist upon their re-
moval to Jail.
Evans, who isl Virginian, played con-
spicuous part in the Sharon case as one of
Senator's counsel. Hanlon is young, but
has large practice, being counsel for the
rich Donohue estate and many large cor
porations. 1t was the liveIiest fight ever
seen in local courtroom since Sarah AL
thea insulted Justice Field and Judge
Terry came to her rescue to prevent her ar
rest

NEW CASTLE, Dec. 30.-[SpeciaL Judge
j. Norman Martin has rendered decision
which affects every county in Western
Pennsylvania, and also ever county sending
minors to the Allegheny County Reform
School The decision was given in the case
of the county of Lawrence against the town.
ship of Big Run, and is a test case.
About three years ago young Orville
Moore was tried for some offense and
sentenced to the Reform School at Nor
ganza, Allegheny county. After his term
had expired, the County Commissioners
attempted to collect the bill for the main
tenance of the boy at the farm from the
school authorities of the township where
the boy had lived. The poor authorities,
also, refused to pay the bill, on the ground
that young Moore had been sent to Nor
ganza on sentence OF court. and, therefore,
the whole county is liable, and not the
township Nearly every township in the
county, and the city of New Castle as we'll,
have boys in the Reform School under cir
cunstances much the same. Judge Martin
decided that the township in which the
minor had a residence is responsible, and
not the county.

BOSTON, Dec. 30.-[S Special 1-Very little
has been heard about the Harvard "Dickey"
Club initiation since the expose of some ofthe
cruelties imposed upon candidates for men,

a view to putting the candidates nerve to q
hard test. A few nights ago candidate

was first conducted to the graveyard BY a
committee, He was blindfolded, gagged
and bound hand and foot, and had q halter
around his neck, the end of which was tied
to a tombstone When the initiators ar
rived he was almost frozen.
The newcomers put their victim through
a course of ghast1y maneuvers. After
making some bIoodcurdling remarks about
the punishment that was sure to be in
fiicted on any person who should betray the
secrets of the society, one fellow untled the
cord that bound the candidate. while the
other placed spade in his hands and in
sepulchral voice ordered him to dig. de

gagged one of his companions took some OBJ

ground, whence the candidate picked them
up, being informed that they were portions
OF dead body. Like man in trance ne
performed the different tasks that were as
signed to him, and did not utter word or
a murmur during the trying ordeal
Having remained about an hour in the
graveyard, the students dragged their vic
tim to a carriage were driven back to Bos-
ton, and then the wouId-be D. X. E. man,
still blindfolded and gagged, was placed on
the front platform of Cambridge electric
car and conducted back to Cambridge.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-[pecial J.
Adonirm II. Fairchiid, diver Of so years
experience in many parts Of the world, was
killed to-day, 50 feet below the surface of
the North river. The Dock Department has
been making ready at the loot of Fulton
street for the coming of the Inman -.ue-s,
which will begin to sail from there in the
latter part of February.
Fairchild, taking with him a pail con-
tanning eight cartridges, descended to drive
them into the holes that were drilled for
them last week. After he had been gone a
moment or two another diver heard slight
sound as of stone dropping on the far end
of the pier. lie signaled to Fairchild, but
got no answer. He signaled again, and as
there was still no answer, he ordered the
men to pull Fairchild up. but he was dead.
In few minutes they brought up the pail
and wooden rammer. In the pail were four
of the six cartridges unexploded. 1t must
have been that Fairchild drove in one cart
ridge and exploded the other accidentally.
The rammer, driven back against his body,
struck the iron collar of his diving suit and
threw it against his chin SO violently that
his neck was broken. ...
The other divers were of the opinion that
the force OF the explosion must have burst
the valves of his heart. They say that such
things have happened under similar circum-
stances

PERFUMES OF THE ROSE.
How the Sweet Essences Are Distilled in
Golden Hue.

Golden Hue.
Blackwood's Magazine.l
We stopped before q hahn to look at a
distillerv and rosefeld. and were well
coined by the proprietor, who was also
landlord of the inn. Seats were put for
ms behind the brazier, where it was not q
little warm, and soon miniature cups of
coffee were presented to us by his rosy
checked wife.
In front of long shed six large cal
drons stood over the brazier, and into
these vessels about e1OO worth of roses
were put with warm water. The iron tubes
through which the vapor escapes passed
through long tin receptacle shaped
like a trough, which was filed with cold
water. and below which large glass bottles
stood to receive the first distiliation. These
Installations are Necessary before the oil of
the rose appears
We were shown a small bottle into which
the essences just distilled had been poured.
The color is rich, deep gold, and the smell
is strong, subtle and penetrating, pleasant
for the first instant, but soon producing
a sense of giddiness and oppression in
the head. 1t affects everything near it,
and the perfume clings tenaciously even in
open air.
The proprietors are secured from being
cheated, as the peasants cannot endure the
perfume they themselves manufacture, aud
make no use of it whatever 1t is sealed
up in leaden bottles and sent to the great
perfume emporiums in London and Paris,
and thousand different scents each have as
their essence a few drops of this rich, thick
oil.

TO REVIVE scULLING.
James A. st. John Makes an Interesting
Proposition to the Rowers.

James A. st. John Makes an Interesting
Proposition to the Rowers.
James A. St John, of rowing fame, has
sent the following letter to the leading
newspapers:
"Irecognize the fact that there are great
many fast scullers for half a mile, beside
many who can go mile at top speed.
'tNow, propose giving or getting up a
sweepstake race for the half-mile, mile and
three-mile distances, so that there will be q
chance for three sculling championships. I
will offer suitable emblems, which may be
held by the winners of these events until
they are defeated. The principal condition
1 will make is that the holder of the cham
pionshiD shall be open to a challenge at his
particular distance twice during the rowing
season, and for an amount not exceeding
81. 900 side.
''My idea is to have the first race asweep-
stake, say Of 500, from each entry in the
two short distances, and $500 in the three
mile event. The profits of the gate receipts
could also be divided, so that the first three
men to finish in each race would receive
part
"AIl three events could be decided on one
dav, and feel confident that there would
be good list of competitors and splendid
attendance. Of course, if there were many
entries, heats would have to be rowed, but
think one day would be sufficient
'Let the management of the champion
ship races be placed in the hands of COM
petent men who enjoy the confidence of
both the scullers and the public; let the
scullers row on their merits, and l believe
that shell aquatics will once more enjoy the
popularity that it should enjoy"
