An Incident for M. ZoIa.
London Telegrap'

An amusing incident Is reported by our Vi
emma correspondent TO have taken place this
week 1T Miskolez, in Hungary. A young girl
pretended to see the Holy Virgin daily, and to
have conversations with her. Her mother en-
couraged the pious who brought presents to
her, and when the priests interfered the excited
crowd threatened to Ill treat thrm. Some DAYS
ago the would.be saint lay In coffin in
a shroud, and her mother told everybody that
the Virgin had told her TO die and she would
resuscitate her on the third day. There was
terrible excitement IN the pIacr. and thousands
seemed prepared to wait the prescribed three
days In prayer and fasting. The local authori-
ties came with doctor TO pnt stop to the
scandaIous affair and 10 the presence of the
pious crowd the doctor said: "It Is very serious
that she died 30 suddenly. We must have a
posr-mortem examination" Immediately the
young saint sat up IN the cofiin, CRYING "Ob.
don't cut me up; can be resuscitated imme-
diately." She was token 10 prison hospital to
be examined ~ to her sanity.

At little before P. NJ on Friday the
Powellstreet cable broke down and it was

Four pea and shell workers were cleverly
captured on Friday by Detectives Cody
and Gibson and were yesterday booked at
the City Prison for vagrancy. Their ames
are William S. Leonard, Barney Goldstein,
John Miller and Edwin Newman.
They had been operating at the ocean
beach and Cody went out there on Friday.
He saw Leonard and Goldstein plotting

who came from Antioch, what the other
two had been saying to him and he replied
that they had promised TO take him out to
see the wreck at Point Bonita. Cody told
him be had better get back to Antioch as
quickly az possible and took Leonard and
Goldstein to the City Prison.

Newman afterward on Ellis street.

any security except the bondsmen of
the bank, and whether they could be
forced to yield dollar in case of
trouble is question that had better
be left undiscussed. After this some
what irregular proceeding, the county
treasurer drew up check for about
what the county had deposited in the
bank and presented it for payment and
was not only refused but called SON
-bird-dog, or some such billing
gate epithet. What the outcome will
be depends upon the people and the
county commissioners, who will not al
low the public money to go ungarded
No one doubts the ability of the Sher-
man County bank to pull through
these hard times, but it is well to be
doubly assured. The way these docu-
ments we're secured is an outrage and
should not have been done. If the
county has no right to them there is
way that they could have been secured
without resorting to methods employ
ed by such heroes as the James and
Dalton boys, and the public disaproves
of such actions to unit.

The Council Meeting.

The council met Tuesday night to
attend to business connected with the
city's welfare. Upon investigating the
finances of the city were in much bet
ter shape than was supposed and the
proposed raise on the water rent was
not made. The present council has
been very economical and have labored
hard for the best interests of the city
and could not have done better had
they been laboring for their own inter
ests instead of for corporation. They
have wiped out debt of $500 left by
the old council and have put down an
other well, which, we understand, is
paid for, or nearly so. By taking per-
sonal risks and by skilled fnanceering
they saved the city nearly $500 on the
have been stopped and the affairs of
the city seem to the satisfaction of all.
A committee of business men waited
upon the board to petition them to buy
a fire engine to cost 800 for which
bonds were to be issued. The council
did not feel that the city should be put
in debt for this, but offered a PROPOSE
ton that the people subscribe money
to pay for the machine and take city
warrants, bearing no interest and to be
paid for by the city when due. They
will issue a circular on this question
soon, and the result viii depend upon
the people. That the city needs more
adequate fire protection is certain, but
whether an engine of this description
would help the matter or not is a ques-
ton The financial statement is ex-
pected to be published soon.
