DR.. sELDENs UNLUcKY CAB DRIVE
After Being Robbed of $500 and Watch
He Is Arrested for Malicious Mischief

Ho Is Arrested LOT hlatlclOus bischieh
DR.. Charles Selden, Virginian. So years
old, who practices his profession at III
west forty-nInth street, stood before jus.
tice Ryan il the Jefferson-M Market Police
Court Wednesday morning, says the New
York sun, with bandages about his head
and his collar and coat stained with
blood. He had been beaten and
robbed of $3.50 and gold watch,
and by the irony of fate was called
upon to answer TO a charge OF malicious
mischief preferred by Cabman Patrick D..
Carroll, of 200 east SEVENTEEN street.
Carroll said that late on Tuesday after
noon he was hailed at Forty first street
and Park avenue by a tall, dar k-haired
young man who was with DIR. Selden and
who Carroll thought was friend OF the
Doctor. The young man said they wanted
to 90 to Chambers and Centre streets. Car;
roll drove down town. making several
stops on the way to allow DIR. Seiden and
the dark-haired young man TO get drinks.
About 1880 o'clock. when driving along
broadway near Fourth street, he heard
crashing OF glass. and he stopped his horse
and peered around 10 see what was the
matter. The young man instantly jumped
out Of the hack, followed by DR.. Selden,
who stumbled and fell, striking his head
against the curb. The young man
made of. and DIR. Selden then
thrashed around with cane so might
ily that the cabs windows and the
glass in both the lamps had been broken,
while the frames of the lamps had been
bent, estimating the damage at SOS. Car
roll called Policeman Essig, of the Mercer
Street station. who locked Dr. Selden up.
DR.. Selden said he was expecting 10 60 to
Washington on Tuesday night. he started
ont in the day with $40 in his pocket
and with $500 in cash III flannel
bag tied about his neck. He also
carried gold watch. He drank some
in the morning and did not know clearly
what had happened after 1890 at noon.
Just before the cab stopped near Fourth
street he had the feeling that the young
man in the Gao with him, and whom he did
not know, was trying TO rob him. and he
thought his struggle In the cab was caused
by his resisting the man who was robbing
him. He remembered nothing more about
his days adventures.
Carroll said he did not know the young
man who engaged his cab at Forty first
street, and Justice Ryan held DR. Selden
under trial for $500 bail, which was fur
nished by Leo Van Fleidner, a real estate
dealer of los west Fifty-third street.

A Test Question.

We propose TO put the TimeS's State
bank scheme 10 test which will enable us
20 know what use those banks would make
ofthe privilege of issuing promissory notes
such as businessmen constantly issue"
We will agree never TO say another word
against State banks of issue II those banks
will bind themselves 20 make only such
"promissory notes" as individual persons
now make. Let their promissory notes
be like the ordinary promissory note, and
not in the similitude Of the national cur
rency, whether grcenbacks, or national
bank notes. or any other paper money, and
all opposition TO the establishment OF such
banks will cease. II those banks are not
wiling thus TO prove their sincerity when
they claim that they only ask TO be treat.
cd as individual persons or firms are
treated then they ought not TO be char
tered.

Allen Heard From.

While acting as assistant attorney
general, Noah Allen accepted fee Of
$500 for assisting to collect q Judgment
against an insurance company for Mrs.
Amick, of Franklin county. On learning
that this was given as reason for the
attorney general dispensing with his SER
vices, Mr.. Allen made a statement, the
substance Of which is as follows:
"A perusal OF the statutes will con-
vince any sane man that the attorney
generals office is not q collection agency
to compel the payment Of bad debts, and
that no official act could be taken by the
attorney general to compel the payment
OF the Amick judgment, even IL the Office
had been called upon to do so, which it
was not, Neither is there any authority
for the superintendent of insurance 10
compel the payment Of judgment
against q domestic insurance company,
as that was. The only action that the
insurance department could take would
DO to inquire into the slovsncy Of the
company, and, il found insolvent, revoke
it's authority to do business in the state.
But even this was not asked for in this
case. The truth is, neither our office,
nor the superintendent Of insurance, was
asked for any official aid in the collection
