A DEAD DOG.

CAPT. Boz IRWIN and his neighbors have
been missing eggs extensively lately. 1t
was evidently the work of some suck>egg
dog. Capt. Irwin got tired of losing so
much hen fruit, so he proposed to his neigh
bors that each would put poisoned eggs in
the nests. This was very readily agreed
to. Next morning, Capt. Twins dog was
missing. He went out to the hen neMs,
and there stretched on the ground was his
valuable dog, cold in death. The poisoned
eggs had accomplished the result. Capt
Irwin says, strange to say, no eggs have
been missed from the nests in that neigh>
borhood since his dog died.

Merchants Retail Commercial Agency.

Merchants Retail Commercial Agency.
The merchants of this city met last Mon
day night in the council room and organiz-
ed branch of the M. R. G. agency. After
consideration the constitution and byelaws
of the association was read and adopted
and officers for the year were chosen. The
object Of this organization of the business
men under the above system has for its
purpose the protection of the merchants
from that class of persons who are dispos>
ed to take dishonest advantage of the
retail merchants. This system will be a
great advantage to the honest paying Gus
toner, as it gives to the retail merchant
the record customers have made with mer>
chapts they have formerly dealt with.
While those who have shown themselves
unworthy oil credit, are absolutely refused
credit. The merchants pledge themselves
under fine not to open an account with
person who will not make an effort to
settle an honest account with brother
merchants, and no matter if he moves to
another town or state the record which the
dishonest customer has made will follow
him to such new place of residence and
put on their guard merchants in such
locality. The agency will not affect any
honest consumer, but is rather great
advantage to such, but it will effectually
stop off the credit of such who attempt to
get goods without paying for them. Thirty,
seven states are covered by this system
and organization throughout this and
surrounding states are in active operation.
Atlanta is the headquarters for Georgia
organizations.

say:
At very early period OF my fight Mr..

desired TO aid me IN every way I'm his
power. and from that time forward no
did give me all the aid and assistance
that he could. He visited me repeatedly
at my Office to confer with me as to the
best means for pressing the cause along,
and wrote TO me often and constantly In
regard to II. I relied on him for informa-
ton concerning what was most for the
interest Of the bondholders I'm his region

found him a most earnest and valuable

and Sweeney. Conner also found several
thousand dollars OF the booty sewed up
in a petticoat Of Sweeney's sister.
All this. however, is but preliminary
10 the story TO come.
Hoorey went to Sing Sing to serve his
five years While there he wrote several
threatening letters to Mr.. Hoey, saying
he would shoot him on sight as soon as
he got out.
Time rolled on, and about four years
later. IN October, 1878, as Mr.. Hoey and
the late Hugh Hastings were walking
up Liberty street from the Jersey Central
ferry, MIR. Hoey saw Hoorey standing
at the door of a bar-Ioom. corner Of
Washington street.
'My God, Hugh" he exclaimed. There
ie Hoorey out Of jail" and walking
straight up tc Hoorey he said:
80 you are cut Of jail are you. and
are going TO shoot me on sight?'
Hoorey snatched off his cap and hold
ing 1t in his hand faltered out $50 help
me God, MIR. Hoey, l wouldn't touch a
hair Of your head. Only give me chance
to become an honest man
'All right. won't disturb you" Mr..
Hoey said, and walked on.
Hoorey then went TO board with Mrs
Brady in Washington street, near Cedar
and while knocking around the First
ward made the acquaintance OF one
Broderick. who was a night Waterman at
Adams Express Company's offices, No.
80 Broadway.
Frederick knew nothing Of Hcoreys
past history and was soon in the tolls OF
that specious young rascal, who. far
from reforming, had determined upon
tremendous coup. and finally consented
TO enter into nothing less than a plot 10
rob the vaults Of the company. Brode-
rex listened and then fell.
But neither Hoorey nor Broderiok knew
now 10 crack safe or open a vault.
Some professional talent would have to
be called In. Hoorey remembered that
while In State prison he had been recon-
menoed by pal to a certain Jim Brady,
professional bank robber OF, great skill
and reputation. He hunted Brady I'D
and unfolded his plans.
Al nrst Brady was suspicious of n
