The practice Of Jumping on and off
moving trains, within the corporate
limits of the city, has become decid-
ed nuisance, despite existing Ordinan-
ces, on both sides of the line, prohib-
iting and furnishing same as a viola
ton of the city's laws. AT and near
the Union depot this practice has
been carried to such an extent by
youthful gamins, as to keep the yard
and train men in constant tear and ap-
prehension Of an accident. We would
call the attention of both the city and
depot police to the fact, in order that
they may arrest the offenders and
thereby put stop to the useless and
dangerous practice.

A FIGHT IN A CAB,
A Strangely Mixed Affair ventiiated I'm the

Strangely Mixed Affair ventiiAted in the
Police Court.
drunken man. u sober man, q cabman and
a policeman figured in, an interesting case
heard in the Police Court this morning. The
prisoner was a young married man and he gave
his name John w. Mahan. He said that be
came here from Trenton, n. j., three months
ago with his, wife who has since taken up her
abode in disreputable house.
The intoxicated mans name was given Is
William knabe and it was stated that be lived
on X street Knabe was out on a lark last
night and he started with nearly $500. How
many places he visited he probably does not
know, but that he got intoxicated no one can
dispute. In a Questionable resort he met
Mahan, who was playing the piano.
Mahsn claimed that some man in the house
insulted him and he struck the man such
terrific blow that he sprained his finger.
knabe, he claimed, went to another part Of the
house and made so much noise that he (Mahar)
was called to quiet him. His vest was ripped
it together" Policeman wanneIl had the two
pieces of Knabe's vest, and he told Of having
arrested Mahan at O'Clock this morning in
Crowley's.
The charge against Mahan was assault. and
the alleged offense occurred in the cab. 1t ap-
peared that the men had started OF in the cab
in the direction of Knabe's home, and when the
driver heard Knabe shouting he got off his seat
and found Mahan holding Knabe by the throat
Il won't have any OF that in my cab" said
the driver and then there was q scramble for
the outside Of the cab. The driver grabbed Ma
han, but the latter tripped him and then es-
capped.
Policeman Wsnnen learned of the affair from
the driver and then he arrested the prisoner.
knabe denied the statement that his vest was
torn and had been pinned together by Mahan.
He claimed that 1t was torn when Mahan
grabbed him in the cab.
Judge Kimball said he thought IL was Q bold
attempt at robbery, but as the prisoner had not
succeeded he could not be charged with that
ofense. A sentence OF three months was i'm
posed and Mahan went 10 jail.

TRUE APPRECIATION,

Through the columns of your paper,
we would express our sincere thanks,
and heartfelt gratitude to the host of
kind friends and neighbors who SO
quickly came with assistance and sub
stantial sympathy in our great mis-
fortune. When driven from our COM
Portable home, by the cruel flames into
the biting December air and pitiless
winter snow, with not so much as a
stocking on our feet, our suffering
would have been beyond endurance but
for their prompt and generous actions.
Our loss is one that will never be re-
gained in a life time, but the bitter cup
is somewhat sweetened by the know
ledge that we have warm place in the
hearts of those with whom we have
associated in the past. May an "All
Wise Providence" deal more gently
with each than he has with us, that
they may never be compelled to walk
under the shadow of such an over
whelming and prostrating calamity
is the prayer Of
A. S. ROBINSON and family.

SAD ACCIDENT.

News came to this city Tuesday of the
accidental shooting of the three year old
daughter Of Mr.. Herman Lenz, who re-
sides about two miles south of this city,
in the town of Grand Rapids. 1t ap-
years that while Mr.. Lenz was in the
city and his wife was doing the chores
at four o'clock III the afternoon, Mon
day, their little boy about seven years
of age returned home from school and
entered the house and was alone there
a short time when he ran out to the
Earn and informed his mother of the
accident. On entering the house the
mother found the little one seated IN
the rocking chair with the right half of
her face badly mutilated from the dis
charge Of breech-loading shotgun.
Life was extinct.
w. III. Gets, coroner, with jury OF
six men repaired to the place of acci-
dent and believe the following to be the
facts of the shooting: A loaded shot
gun stood in the corner of the sitting
room the boy came home and
probably began playing with the gun
and discharged it killing his little sister
and then alarmed his mother; the gun
was too heavy for the three year old
child to handle. Further the way the
gun lay and the child was seated it was
utterly impossible for the little one to
shoot herself. The little boy would
neither admit or deny that he was play
ing with the gun.

BEAR AND FORBEAR.

This should be the ruling motto in
these disastrous times With industry,
trade, credit, and confidence prostrated
mo matter by what cause-we should
all be willing to bear and forbear with
one another. 1t is idle to condemn this
or that class as the authors of the
trouble brooding all around US; for by
whomever or whatever originated, the
crisis has fallen upon the whole country,
and all classes must suffer in some de-
gree. 1t may be warning and arebuke
but it comes attended with so sad a
strain of consequences as should enlist
all our better sympathies toward what
ever can tighten the blow. If the reck-
lessness of speculation ard extravaganza
has involved the crash and ruin, it has
suffered the penalty of bearing the
brunt on its own head. But yesterday
It was lord of what appeared to be un
exampled sperity-to-daY it reels
and staggers forth in all the avenues of
business, bankrupt and despairing. Of
truth, 'riches take to themselves
wings and flee away" and yet how few
of all who feel with keenest force this
great truth, will hasten to lay up more
of their treasure "Where neither rust
nor moth doth corrupt" and where no
thieves break through and steal Yes,
there should be bearing and forbearing
the strong brand toward the weak, and
the rich for and toward the poor. In
our day society is not closer linked by
the holy ties of brotherhood than by
the more tangible chords of mutual
business credit and dependence. In
some direction and to some extent,
every man, almost, is a debtor or a
creditor, and in ordinary times this fact
promotes general intercourse and har-
monY-since men must feel that in the
non-abuse of these relations lies the
greatest common advantage. 1t is one
of the glories of our civilization that we
have learned to bear more and more
in the spirit of concession and accom-
mediation, rather than to fly to that
common resort of ruder conditions of
society-litigation. The jail and prison,
and the constable and sheriff, are not
appealed to as of old to compel men to
meet their obligations, and we are quite
satisfied that society is not the loser
thereby.
