Fighting circuit" is probably tho
most annoying occupation therols. Tho
very impotency, the very futility Of IL
is maddening. Here Is O man who has
offered grievous insult. Yet the in
sultee cannot get at the insulter TO kick
him. They may be separated by thou
sands Of miles The practice Of calling
hard names Is not infrequent, possibly,
for that reason Fighting circuit" has
several times driven men TO the verge
of frenzy. There Is on record In the
archives Of the Western Union Office In
New York the tale of an excitable
operator who, after long and unsuc-
cessful struggle TO say something mean
to man In Albany whom he hated, and
who at the same time was trying TO soy
something mean 70 him, suddenly
arose from his chair and darted from
the operatlng-room In New York city
and ran down the stairs into the street.
There he gazed wildly around, look
ing for some object >on which 70 vent
his anger. Near him peaceab!e, mild.
looking gentleman was having his
boots polished The unhappy operator
rushed at him, struck him In the face,
and shouted: BLANK, blank you. you're
always getting your boots blacked.
But that was in the old days
Not always, however, have differ
ences arising over wire been with
out bloodless termination. Il has
been the case on a number of oc-
casions that the insultee has boarded q
train for the town Of the insulter, and
upon the insulter being pointed out to
him the two have come together In an
ahray. But such instances are excep-
tions. Even though man may board q
train full Of thought of vengeance It Il
likely to ooze out after q few hourS
ride, and the visit, instead Of being san
culinary, may be- one Of
peace and good feelings It may be
stated, positively that no quarrel be-
gun over o telegraph wire has ever
resulted fatally.
They tell good story up at the big
Western Union office on Fifteenth
street. One Of the night men was send
ing press to Richmond Tho operator
at the latter place said.
Whats the natter You come 80
heavy I can't adjust enough"
"1s that SOP" responded the oper.
ator at the Washington end 'walt q

Then came pause.
"H0w's thatp" asked the Washington
man. &
That's splendid,r replied the Rich
mond operator. "What did you doq"
II took off my cuffs" came back the
reply from the Washington man, and
even the relay and sounder exchanged
smiles.-Washington Star.

uNDouRrEDLY A GANG.

The Work of Thieves In tho O1ty
Lends the Police to Relieve That
There is a Band Operating Here
Burglaries Monday Night.
The charge against Margaret Burns in
the city court yesterday was changed from
theft to vagrancy and her case was contin-
ned until tomorrow. Michael Nurtagh
was charged with burglary and carrying
concealed weapons. His case was also
continued until tomorrow.
Yesterday afternoon Chief Rylands and
Officer Finn of Bridgeport came to this
city and went to the Grand avenue pre-
cinct. There they identified three pairs of
shoes which were found in the satchels be-
longing to Murtagh. These they said had
been stolen from the shoe store of Philan-
der E. Abbott at 1913 Main street, Bridge
port. There were two pairs of women'a
shoes and four pairs of mems shoes stolen.
The women's shoes were valued at So pei
pair and the mems shoes at 81 per pair,
making theft of goods of about s2s.
The detective and the Bridgeport officers
then went to the jail where the Burns girl

She admitted that Bridgeport had been
visited by the same parties. She gave out
that she came from Central Falls and &c
did her two companions. Murtagh had
worked in jewelry store in Pawtucket
It now comes out that the girl wher
brought into the station gave her name al
Mildred Maxwell, the name under which
she travels from place to place. She wa
questioned by the detective and admitted
that her name was Burns. She is married
and has child which is being supported
by her friends. She refuses to give he
marriage name.
The bonds under which Murtagh Is helt
are $500 for the burglary and 500 for tn
carrying of concealed weapons.
There is no doubt but that there is
regularly organized gang of burglars, whicl
is operating in this city and, in fact, al
southern New England cities. This gang
