LOOK OUT FOR THIS sWINDLER.

A well dressed middleaged man has been
successfully victimizfng merchants of the
Hill section of the city, and at the same time
flooding the town with counterfeit $40
bills.
His style of working has been to telephone
or send a messenger boy to a store, order a
small bill of goods and direct the clerk or
proprietor to send with the goods change for
a $40 bill. He would meet the messenger
boy a block or two from the store, take the
goods and change and give him a bad $40
bill to take back to the store. He has vic
tinized a number who nave said nothing. D..
Radigan of No. GIG Summit avenue was
swindled in this ma amer last night. The
police are ON the lookout for this swindler.

THE COOKERY COMMISSION.
1t Will Consider the Customs Refund
Matters.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 28, 1S93.-The whole
subject Of customs refund methods has been
transferred by the Treasury Department to
the Congressional Commission, for inquiry
and report. This Commission, commonly
called the Dockery Commission, was appoint
ed by Congress to inquire into the methods
OF conducting business in the executive der
partments. So far, the Commission
has devoted much of its
time to Treasury methods. Three experts
were employed by the commission at the
outset and will continue with the commits
sion until the end. These experts are now
looking into the refund methods as prac-
ticed at the several custom houses. These
methods, irregular in practice aad fraudu-
lent in many cases, tits asserted, ave been
brought into prominence by the extensive
irregularities in the New York Custom
House.
All alleged irregularities in the New York
custom house and all other custom houses,
in tobacco refund cases and all other cases
under the tariff act of 1883, will be search
ingly inquired into by this Congressional
Commission, which viii receive the hearty
cooperation and support of the Treasury
Department.

WHERE WAS A POLICEMAN
Outrageous Conduct of e. n
Mclaughlin at the Water
Board Office,

Commissioner W. R. Cook and Clerk Geo.
T. Bouton were sitting in the Board room of
the Street and Water Commissioners this
morning, when Mr.. Edward Tunis McLaugh-
lin bounced into the room. He paused a
second to get his wind, and then yelled as
loud as he could: Il want to prefer charges
against your Board, and against that fellow
your Street Commissioner"
SAL right, SIR blandly replied Mr.. Cook,
there's a complaint book down stairs.''
Like an acrobat MIR. Mclaughlin vaulted
down the stairs and in another minute re-
turned with the book. Taking a seat at
President Madden's desk and viciously dab
bling his pen on the paper, he inscribed this
complaint
To the Street Commissioner of this city:
The street-known as Barrow street, between
Montgomery street aud Railroad avenue, should
be repayed Immediately, as it is in a very dan
gerous condition to passing vehicles. private or
public. If you drive over it fast. / earnestly
hope you may break your dam IRISH neck.
Yours,
E. T. MCLAUGHLIN.
The Street and Water Commissioners, lively
and earnest attention is called to above com
plant
He then shut up the volume with a bang,
and turning to the Commissioner, said:-
ssThere now is the complaint. and if YOU
" v OOClA W ~ II IL AOU lOI }OIs
and then bounced out of the room with his
face as red as his whiskers, and muttered
I.anathemas and i~nprecautions on the luck
less head of Mr.. ''Phil" Tumulty. When he
reached the loot of the stairs he encountered
Mr.. BILLY" Heller and his assistants, and
proceeded to entertain them with descriptions
of Mr.. ssPhil.n
''This board must bounce him or they'll get
hell;o ''white-wiskered, four-eyed, --
nuisance" only that's not the word he used.
He terrified the clerks in the Water De
partment and they fed behind their desks
and tried to look as if they didn't hear his
threats to clean out the place.
sYou hear me- he screamed, 'sI'm going
to be another Parkhurst and give the town
such a shaking up if it costs me a thousand
dollars"
Back upstairs he galloped into Clerk
Beuton's office, breathing vengeance on
everybody concerned. Mr.. Mclaughlin had
blood in his eye, and emphasized his angry
words by humping with his brawny fist on
the desk. In the meautsme the five Com
missioners, shut up in their private room,
had settled that there would be no meeting
until Tuesday. When Mclaughlin hearo
this he rushed out of the building heapine
pretty things on their head.

celebration. This will include
riders of both sexes, and from
abroad as we'll as local detached
members. In fact, it will be a
sort of field, open to all, and
promises to be most enjoyable
one, both for the bike riders and
their friends, it being expected that
nearly 10000 wheelmen will partic-

A Bad Compromise.

The LIGHT is of the opinion that
the saloon men have made a mis-
take in their Sunday law compro-
mise. The self-appointed Sunday
law committee of twenty-five
have no judicial or legislative au-
thOrity to compromise any viola
ton of the statutes of the state of
Texas. There IS nothing to prevent
any other citizen, or some other
committee making complaint, and
commence the same prosecutions
over again. Or even the district
judges can order the sheriff to close
up every thing tight, if they
deemed it advisable to do so. The
compromise is just and fair one,
and should be satisfactory to all
parties concerned, but as the law
has not yet been tested as to its
constitutionality, until the said
law is repealed or amended, there
is nothing to prevent another set of
religious enthusiasts forming
committee of two or three or a hun
dred, and commencing the same
fight again. 1t is to be hoped
though, the fOolishneSs will never
come up again.
