THE ROUMANIAN WAY,

How the Telephone Is Managed In That
Interesting Country.
From the Detroit Free Press.
The two Roumanian cities, Galatz and Braila,
on the Danube, we're lately connected by tele-
phone, which Is, like the telegraph in that
country, an institution of the state Before its
opening an ordinance Of the government for its
use was published in the official gazette, the
principal part Of which is as follows:
"A person who wants to have intercourse
with another by telephone is bound to notify
that person beforehand by letter, telegraph or
otherwise
A Mr.. Kir Zaridi. in Braila. dealer in pro-
duce, was about to close a contract for a supply
Of barley. He desired, however, to learn be-
forehand the price OF barley quoted at the
board of trade in Galatz. For that purpose he
went to the telephone Office. and, after paying
the fee, desired to get telephone connection
with Mr.. Pastramaki, his correspondent in
Galatz.
''very WE'LL have you informed Mr.. Pas
tramaki?'
"What for? He is in Galatz and the person
to whom want to telephone"
THAT would not do sir. Here is the ordi-
nance. Before you can telephone to him you
must inform him beforehand BY letter tele-
graph or in any other way
Nonsense! Is the government crazy? May
be they ask me to travel to Galatz and inform
him that on q certain day and hour he may be
at the telephone Office to receive a communica-
ton from me?"
Eyes, that would do too" the official said.
Mr.. kir Zaridi had to give up his barley
deal

TERRAPIN GETTING SCARCE.
The ToOthsome Diamond Back on tn
Verge Of Absolute Extinction.

The Toothsome Diamond Back on the
Verge Of Absolute Extinction.
From the New York Tribune.
The appalling fact has been staring ''high
livers" and epicures in the face for some
time that diamond-back terrapin are becom-
ing extinct. How far in the future before
this calamitous event will pass into history
cannot be told Just now to a certainty, but
the leaders Of epicurean thought believe that
when the centennial of the worlds fair is
celebrated in Chicago the diamond back will
be a memory only and will have taken its place
beside the disappearing buffalo, the mastodon
and the ichthyosaurus. Putlc attention has
been drawn to this matter recently by the an
nouncement that diamond backs are selling
now at the rate of S96 dozen. Inquiries by
reporter confirmed this news. The supplies
OF diamond-back terrapin come from the At
lantic and Gulf coasts, from Massachusetts to
Texas. The finest specimens are found in the
cranberry boys OF Cape Cod and the cheapest
are from the sandy inlets of Matagorda bay.
The greatest quantity sent from the Ches-
apeake bay and the waters Of the Carolinas, the
largest terrapin shipping point in the United
States probably being Crisfield, Nd The
diamond backs live in salt marshes near the
coast and are seldom found far from them.
They were formerly very abundant in such
places, and could be often seen on warm days
summing themselves on the bars and flats
But the increasing demand for them and the
Wholesale capture Of old and young have done
their inevitable work in thinning out their
numbers The diamond-back is one Of the
smallest Of the forty-two species Of .urtIe and
tortoises found in the United States, and they
vary greatly in external appearance The
acknowledged scales on their backs, whence
comes their name, is common alike to the Mis-
sissippi and Massachusetts terrapins, and there
is q vast difference in their edible qualities and
in their value.

Litigation Over an Assignment.

In the case of the Washington Flour and
Feed Company against John H. Baird ct al, to
set aside an assignment and the appointment Of
a receiver. answers have been filed BY Messrs
Psdgett and Forrest. Mr.. Baird denies that
he gave an order for merchandise the day be-
fore the assignment December 800, but says it
was on December "a. and it was not
all delivered till the assignee was in pos
session. He denies that there was any demand
made upon him for its return. He insists
that his failure to meet his obligations was due
to his inability to collect. He asserts chat the
preference to Mary v. Burgess is for bona fide
debt, and denies that it was made in fraud of
o her creditors. and asserts that it was done to
protect those who had loaned him money to
60 into business. He insists that McCon-
vile (the assignee) Is a man of responsibility
and denies that there was any scheme devised
to cheat and defraud creditors
The answer Of Mary V. Burgess, the sister
in-law of Baird, asserts that the debt is a bona
fide one.
Mr.. McConville. the assignee states that he
took possession December 80 and sent back the
hay not delivered before the assignment He
asserts that the property conveyed will amount
to about $500. He denies that the assign
ment was fraudulently made.
He denies that he intended to paw Mary v
Burgess claim without making inquiry into il.
but saws he called on her to make proof and she
has done so by affidavit and filing copies of her
notes-one for S607. 80 and one for S445O-on
which is a credit of &, 200, and he submits she
Is entitled to have her debt first liquidated.

JUDGE MccOMAs. NOMINATION.
The Latest Charges shown to He ENTIRELY
without Fou ndatiOn.

The Latest Charges shown to He ENTIRELY
Without Foundation.
The last Of the charges Of those who are OPP
posing the confirmation Of Mr.. McComas have
utterly f.iled and there now appears to be no
reason why he should not be confirmed
as an associate judstice Of the Supreme
bench Of the District The Senate
Judiciary committee this morning again ha d
the case under confederation and witnesses
were examined to develop, IL possible, what
connection Mr.. McComas had with the National
Investment Company, whose transactions have
been questioned. At the meeting this
morning there was absolutely nothing
developed to show that Mr. McComas
was connected in any way with the company or
to impugn his integrity. Mr.. McComas himself
sent to the committee q sweeping denial Of the
charges and reiterated his statement, published
in THE STAR yesterday. that he never was con-
nected with the company in any way and that
il his name used 1t WAS done without his
knowledge or consent.
The subcommittee will have another meeting
tomorrow at which time ii is expected that il
will recommend the full committee to
favorably report the nomination Of Mr.. Nc
Comas to the Senate. The committee has
allowed those who oppose this nomination the
widest latitude, but as nothing has been brought
to light in this investigation which can in any
way reflect on the character of Mr.. McComas the
committee feel inclined to act, and it Is be-
lieved that the favorable report will be made
within few days.

THE SNOW AND THE COLD.


Cold Wave Now Sweeping Over the Land.
Washington had q new coat Of snow last
night, or, rather, had Its old coat repaired, SO
that this morning there was depth Of three
inches or more. The scene last night when the
big fakes we're falling slowly and silently was
unusually impressive.

Of snowy surface, its lights and the swiftly
moving sleighs, made beautiful picture.
listers. it is said, will be in demand from
North Dakota TO the Atlantic, for another cold
wave is sweeping over the country. 1t is the
opinion of the weather prognosticator that it
will last two days at the most, and may be fol-
lowed by a warm wave.
In conjunction with the cold snap is heavy
storm of wind and snow, psrtaking Of the char
acter Of blizzard. Wind is blowing at the
rate Of from thirty to forty miles an hour from
Cape Hatteras to Eastport, Me. Snow has
fallen nearly everywhere east of the Rocky
mountains. The thermometer in many!places
is falling, and it will go lower.
The coolest place in the country this morning
was the shore Of Lake Superior, where the
thermometer ranged from 80 to 40 degrees
below zero. The Thermometer at Sault Ste.
Marie, Mich, showed &c degrees below. At
st. Paul and Duluth the temperature was %
degrees below; at Chicago, below; Springfield,
below; Buffalo, 4 above; St. Louis, above;
Boston and Philadelphia, 90 above; Pittsburg,
above; New York, Is above, and Washington,
10 above
The present storm came from North Dakota
to the Atlantic in twenty-four hours and the
storm center is now off the New England coast.
