Corner Chat.

A member of the Legislature, look
ing on at the large crowd Of people
in the city on county court day and
the sales of almost every conceivable
thing from a churn to farm, said:
cit is an interesting sight to see this
monthly gathering of the people from
all parts of the county. 1t is keeping
up the old time county court days
that we read about but which, in my
part of the State, have long since
been abandoned. You might say that
Frankfort, in retaining the custom is
made the meeting point for the gen.
eral exchange of goods, kind of a
monthly fair where every body keeps
buying and selling from early morn
ing until late in the evening. One
man told me that while some very
good horses. mules and cattle were
often sold, there were certain old
plugs which the owners made use of
to trade around with each when bust
ness was slack merely to keep their
hand in. He said that he had one old
horse which he had tried to get rid of
for the past five years, but that while
he had sold him as many as twenty
times in that period, he invariably
turned up again and came back with
such new tricks and designs that he
would be deceived and buy him be-
fore he was aware of the identity.
He said that the last time he sold the
horse he went into the hands of far
mer in another county and he then
congratulated himself that at last he
would never return. On county court
day last month, the closing transac-
tion of the day just at dusk, was the
old plug, which he recognized when
he got home by his loss of two front
teeth and the turning inwardly of
his front hoofs. The farmer he I'M
derstood to-day had disposed of the
animal on his way home to a resident
of this county. The man said that if
the horse were mascott he wouldn't
object to his return to him, but he
could not discover at the end of the
year that he was any tho gamer or
loser by his monthly attendance here
on county court days"
Mr.. I. N. Williams brought his force
of thirty-two laundry girls to this
city from Lexington last week, and
with them a great quantity of Lex
ington's soiled clothes to wash in the
Kentucky river water. 1t occasioned

great deal of comment at Lexing-
toms expense, one man maintaining
that it is queer state of affairs that
caused Lexington to come to Frank
fort for water, and another that the
reservoir was made to leak and run
dry because the people couldn't get
used to the taste of the water. An
other said that if washing clothes
was all the use they had for water, it
verified the story told of a Kentucky
Colonel who related his terrible eX-
perience of thirst on a fishing trip.
He said he got lost in the woods and
for three days not drop passed his
lips. When found he was unconscious
on the bank of a stream. One listener
asked if the stream was dry. The
Colonel answered it was not, and then
the listener said:
We'll, / don't see how you could
suffer from thirst with a stream of
water close at hand"
water close at hand?" reported the
Colonel with scorn," land what has
water got to do with man being
thirsty"
A friend said Tuesday: "Do you
know, that contract Mason & Hoge,
ofthis city, have!with Chicago for the
construction of the ship canal to
bring vessels from the Mississippi
river through the Illinois river over
to the harbor at Chicago, is an i'm
mense undertaking. The contract is
for six miles, at million dollars a
mile, and there are now no less than
1000 men employed on the work.
Sayre Rodman, of this city, has a splen-
did position with the company there,
being their cashier and general bust
ness manager. A son of Mr.. Mason
is also engaged in the work and Mr..
Ed. Grant, of this city, is a purchas-
ing supply agent l believe the
Frankfort contingent in Chicago,
which seems to be augmenting
monthly, are all doing quite we'll"

A Meeting of Sheriffs.

Upon request of Auditor Norman
for the sheriffs of the State to meet
at his office and suggest to him the
form of keeping their books as may
best suit the requirements of the law
and the needs of all the counties in
the State, there were about fifteen
present at the meeting yesterday
who suggested various forms and
offered many good recommendation
from which the Auditor will make his
choice and adopt such form as may
seem to him the best devised to
answer all the purposes.

EDITORS HERALD: In your Sundays
HERALD appears an article, Want to
Know Why. The writer of the article
was entirely misinformed. He says,
among other things, that the work at
National City is done by contract doc
tor in San Diego, and also, the railroad
boys are anxious to know what becomes
of their money. In reply will state that
DR.. Keene of National City, who has
been local surgeon at that place for sew
eral years past, is still acting in that
capacity, no change having been made.
do not understand what he means by
contract doctor, there are no such doc
tors on the line. DR.. B. W. Day is local
surgeon at San Diego. He has done his
work to the entire satisfaction of the
association. The financial affairs of the
association are governed entirely by a
board of directors partly chosen from
the railroad boys themselves. ANY
member of the association can find out
what becomes of the money by making
enquiries in the proper channel. The
explanation of my letter to DIR. Boxton
was the fact that DIR. Keene wished to
resign the first of the year. DR.. Keene,
however. reconsidered the matter and
continues to act as local surgeon.

Accused of Stealing Suit of Clothes.
His Matrimonial Advertising.
Fred Endl last evening swore out a
complaint for petty larceny in the city
police court against ''Dr. Won Trotha,"
German confidence man who has been
victimizing the entire local German
colony.
The present charge is based on the
allegation that DR.. Won Trotha stole a
suit of clothes from Charles Endl. son
OF the complaining witness, and left the
apparel at the house of washerwoman
on Los Angeles street. The complain
ing witness himself collared Won Trotha
on the street couple of weeks ago and
took him up to the police station. He
claimed to be i'll, however, and was
transferred to the county hospital,
where he still remains.
One of the prisoners most nefarious
tricks was to advertise in the Sued
Californier Post for a wife, describing
his appearance and his worldly affairs
in the most alluring colors. Hereceived
q dozen answers from respectable Ger
man girls, whom he probably intended
afterward to blackmail, as that has been
his game elsewhere.
One of his victims here was William
Doll, county assessor of Omaha, Nebras-
ka, whom Won Trotha followed to Ar
rowhead hot springs and did up for a
small sum. His victims here are legion.

CURL'S DEATH.

He Is Run Over and Killed Dy his
Own Engine.
Chas. H. Curl, fireman for engineer
Kregg of switch-engine No. 742, South
ern Pacific railroad, was instantly killed
yesterday morning by being run over by
his own engine. Curl was standing on
the running board and with one hand
grasping an iron railing, was STOPPING
over, examining the break on the tend
er. The engine was slowly backing
toward the main track, near the Buena
Vista street bridge in the San Fernando
street yards. Just before reaching the
main track there are what is called
ssthree-throw switches" 1t appears
that some one had left one of the switch
bars standing perpendicular, and, as the
engine passed, Curl was struck on the
head, knocking him forward between
the cab and tender. Before the engine
could be stopped the rear driving wheel
passed over the man just below the
breast. nearly severing the body. The
left hand was cut off just below the
wrist. The man never uttered cry,
death being instantaneous.
The body was removed to the under
taking rooms of Garrett q Sampson,
where Coroner Weldon held an inquest
at O'Clock yesterday afternoon. The
verdict was one of accidental death.

ARRESTED A BEAR.
Officer Rinkenbachs Curious Capture
Yesterday.

Ohcer KinkenDaChS furious Captufe
Yesterday.
Officer Rinkenbach yesterday after
noon arrested the Italian who had been
exhibiting huge educated bear on the
streets during the last few days. The
policeman observed that the antics of
the bear scared number Of horses, and
also came to the conclusion that the
ring in the bears nose would lay the
foundation for charge of cruelty to ami
mails. The arrest was made on Main
street, between Seventh and Eighth
streets, and the curious sight of the po-
liceman, with dirty italian and a gi-
gantic bear in tow, attracted considera-
Bile attention. The queer parade, fol-
lowed by an awe-stricken crowd of small
boys, marched along Main street to Sec
ond, and up the latter to the station.
At the corner of Main and Second, Mayor
Hazard encountered the outfit, and his
honor came near falling over the bear in
his surprise.
At the station the officers were op-
posed to starting a menagerie in the
hobo-quarters, and after a consultation
the two prisoners were allowed to 60,
after being warned to take to the bucolic
| districts.

He Is Found Guilty but Will Probably

Old man Keiser, who has been in the
peculiar habit of fondling women as he
passed them on the streets, had his
trial for disorderly conduct yesterday
before Justice Austin.
Constable Harry Johnson, who made
the arrest, g. W. Duffy and E. Hoist
were the witnesses for the people, and
swore most positively to the indecent
actions of the prisoner, describing them
most accurately. Louis Ebinger and a
number of other well-known citizens
testified that Keiser has hitherto borne
a good character, and that they never
saw him indulge in his strange idiosyn-
Grassy. Keiser, who is 70 years old, was
found guilty, and the case was continued
for sentence until tomorrow morning, at
80. The district attorney, in charge
of the case, recommended the aged pris-
oner to the mercy of the court, and
Keiser will probably get off with a light
