COMING A CONDUCTOR.

He Crowded Like n Bear at Women. but
~.y Was Afraid of y Man.
The woman signaied the Wells
street cable car conductor that she
wanted to get off at the next corner,
but as the car Stacked up she saw
that she had made a mistake and
said quickly:
"Oh, ! beg you pardon. I've made
: mistake. It's the next corner"
"Well, why can't you settle what
you want to do in the first place."
growled the conductor loud enough
for half the people in the car to
hear. OF course the woman got red
in the face and looked decidedly un-
comfortable. Some of the passen-
gers looked at her and chuckled,
while others cast sayages glances at
the conductor. One young fellow on
the rear platform asked:
"Aren't you ever courteouss
"Who're you talking tor demand
ed the conductor tiercely.
"You," replied the young man.
"She made Il natural mistake and
apologized for it.
"Well what business have you got
chipping in2" exclaimed the conduct

ot," returned the young man, get
ting warmed up himself.
You can't talk to me in that way,
young fellowl" threatened the con-
ductor.

: ply.
, There was a Moments pause as
the car stopped at the next corner to
1t the woman off, and as the car
serted up again the young man
A41I:
Now, / want to get off at the
next corner myself"
'Wel, jump" growled the con-
ductor.
II may" said the young man,
"but if I do you'll come off with me.
l want this car to come to a dead
stop, and if it doesn't we'll both get
off together, and I'll find out how
much of the autocrat this company
permits you to be-"
The conductor didn't like it, but
well, he stopped the car. 49,.
That's just to show you how,
small man you really are when
you are not dealing with women"
said the young man as he stepped of,
and some of the passengers actually
laughed in the conductors face

Merchandise Valued at 5000 Stolen
from g. Store at Penn broke.
PEMBROKE, Ca, Feb. 1.-THE store of
Louis LETTER in this place was burglarized
by unknown parties last night between the
hours OF 0 and ~ O'Clock, and valuable
merchandise to the amount of not less than
5000 taken away. The fact was not discov-
cred until daylight this morning, when Mr..
Letter opened the doors, which were as firm
and fast as ever, and Sd " the general scatter
Of boxes and goods. After searching he
found large hole cut in the floor behind
the counter with tools procured by the
burglars by breaking open the blacksmith
shop OF J. G. Cobb, which was only 100
yards away.
A saw, Ratchet, big auger and brace and
bit wer0 found lying under the house this
morning. The scoundrels are supposed 10
be negroes, with probably a white man,
some of whom must have known pretty
well the arrangement of things in the shop
aud store. Jonas jackson, a negro living
about quarter of a mile south, claims to
have heard the parties pass his house about
IL o'clock last night. ana they appeared TO
be two or three Every suit Of clothes in
the store were taken, lot
Of dress goods, embroidery, neck
ties, pooket-knives, gold watch
and razors which were marked SO so in gilt,
besides many other articles. Goods were
found this morning lying on the ground
under the house and around the hole IN the
floor. Mr.. Letter offers sos for the arrest
OF any one of the parties, and will pay more
for the capture of ell. He is always the
first merchant here TO close his store, hence
the most convenient TO be robbed. It is
puzzling how the large amount Of goods
were carried off without cart or wagon,
OF which no trace is found.

Laws Tor the supervision OF Fedora!
Elections Retained.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-In the SENATE
to-day the sundry civil appropriation
bill having been taken up at the close
of the morning business, a vote was taken
on the amendment retaining the laws for
the supervision Of federal elections. It was
agreed to-yeas 81, NAYS -. The Senate
then, on motion of Mr.. Sherman, proceeded
to executive business.
After twenty minutes OF secluslon the
doors were Teopened and consideration of
the sundry civil appropriation bill was pro-
ceeded with. All the amendments which
mad been reported from the committee on
appropriations having been disposed OF,
various other amendments Of no public I'M
portance we're reported from the committee
by Mr.. Allison, its chairman, and were
agreed TO. The bill was then open to gen.
eral amendment.
Mr.. Sherman offered his 8 II; 5%cent. bond
issue amendment. AS soon a. Twas read a
point OF order was made by IGr. Stewart
against the amendment as general legisla-
Jion on an appropriation bill"
RULING OF TIE VICE PRESIDENT.
After brief discussion the Vice President
made his ruling. The amendment, he said,
made an appropriation TO carry out an ex-
istiug law and limited the authority OF the
Secretary of the Treasury under the existing
law. 1t did not, in the opinion OF the chair,
propose new legislation. The chair there
fore held the amendment TO be in order
Mr.. Stewart appealed from the decision
and Mr.. Hoar moved to lay the appeal on
the table. That motion was agreed to-yeas
2S, nays Is.
SO the amendment was decided to be in
order.
MIR. Mills moved to strike out of the
amendment the words, 1--we years after
their date so as to leave the bonds redeem
able at the pleasure Of the government aud
he argued in support Of that motion.
Mr.. Sherman said that if the proposition
was not one TO provide for an emergency he
should feel disposed to accept Mr.. Mills
amendment, but he thought that it would
| not be wise to venture on it now. He did
| not believe that any considerable amount OF
| per cent bonds would ever be issued. At
| the same time the contingency should be
| provided for. Power to issue bonds would
he thought, enable the Secretary of the
| Treasury TO maintain the gold reserve
without his issuing them.
| The merits of the amendment were dis.
cussed for the rest Of the day and adjourn
ment came before the debate closed. The
| opponents of the amendment were Messrs.
! PETER, Teller, Mills and Call. 1t was ad-
vocated by MeSsrs. Voorhees,, Hiscock, Har.
ris, Morrill, and Mcpherson
Mr. Allison tried TO get an agreement as
| to the hour at which a vote should be
| taken tomorrow on the Sherman amend
ment. but objection was made. He then
| asked unanimous consent that the bill should
DO disposed of tomorrow, and that alsc
was objected 20. He then gave notice thai
| he would try to have night sessions next
week. The Senate then, at $40 o'clock, ad
| journed until Tomorrow at IL a. m.

The House narrowly escaped another ex-
citing scene. On this occasion there was
nothing political or personal involved. Mr..

speech, but at the direction of the speaker
he rather ungraciously) took his seat aud
the House resumed consideration of the PEN
sion appropriation bill.
Mr.. De Almond offered an amendment
that after July /, 1893, there shall not be
paid to any person under the act OF 1890 or
during the time when the income of such
person shall amount TO $1,000 year. The
amendment was agreed to by vote OF 101
to IS.
Consideration of the bill having been COM
pleted, Mr.. Grout of Vermont obtained a
few moments on a verbal amendment He
merely wished to reply to remarks made
yesterday by Mr.. Turpin Of Alabama. That
gentleman had stated that there was a man

GeIo RAILROAD STOCK.
ALBANY, GA, Feb. 1.-Two of the
leading business men of the city have just
returned from trip TO New York, and their
mission to the metropolis has just became
known. They went there to effect a sale Of
S233 600 of bonds Of the Albany Investment
Company, but az price far below par. 1t
will be remembered that this company built
the Albany and Cordele railroad, but when
the road was completed it was found that
the stock subscribed was not near sufficient
to reimburse the builders for the money
spent in completing it, and so the stock
holders placed the road in the investment

it. AS before stated $233 600 of bonds, suf
fcient to have reimbursed the stockholders
aud pay off the indebtedness of the road,
had they been fioated at fair price. we're
issued, but investors did not take to them
readily and they could not be fioated. Then
the road was leased 60 the Sam road under
what appeared to be satisfactory terms, but
the failure Of the Bank of Americas and
the placing Of the Sam road in the hands OF
a receiver TRANSFERRED and the Albany and
Cordele road was thrown again into the
hands of the investment company. This
company again made n successful attempt
TO sell the issue of bonds, but at such
price as to only realize sum
sufficient 10 pay the indebtedness of the
road, leaving the stock absolutely value
less. Citizens Of Albany lose about $75, 900
in the transaction and citizens of Americus
about 900. The estate of the late Col.
Nelson Tiff Is the heaviest loser in this city.
Col. Tiff having been the promoter of the
road Invested $50 900 in it. which by the
sale of the bonds becomes total loos
Fortunately for the stockholders in this city
they are all able TO stand their LOSSES with
out having their business standing affected.
