DIDN'T WANT TO BE BURIED

And the supposed Corpse Leaves tht
Undertaken In y Hurry.
Quite recently n team was PASSING
up one of the leading streets ol
Kenrebec. Maine, when the horses
became suddenly frightened and ran
away, throwing out the fellow who
was riding. He was badly shaken up
and his condition seemed to indicate
that he was doue for during his
sojourn upon mother earth.
An undertaken who happened to
hear OF the fellows misfortune and
sad condition immediately made haste
TO the scene of disaster. equippcl with
everything necessary TO care for the
fellow who was supposed to have
suddenly passed away. It seems he
was placed in the wagon, and then the
undertaken started with his suppose !
corpse in pcsthaste for the mans home.
He had not gone far when the man
recovered from his deathly (?) slun-
bcr and revived sufficiently to take in
the situation and leap from the wagon
and reach small hotel they wore
ju't passing. lima gine the intense
surprise of Mr.. Undertaken "a short
time after, when he had gone but a
little distance and looked around and
discovered that the single indication
Of there having been anybody in the
wagon was the manner in which the
robes were left,
Truly the hard times have made
business dull in every line aud per
haps the poor undertaken has shared
with the rest. 1t may seem sham,
that he lost this opportunity OF earn
ing an honest dollar and performing u
faithful duty.

RELIABLE PERJuRERs.
An IncesIsvs Form OF DisckDiaii Carried
ont with Their Help.


In speaking of men who earn their
living by swearing false oaths, ono Of
their number says: "A reliable per
jurer is valuable man. There are
several brokcn-down lawyers, who,
shut out from the courts, make Il part
of their business to keep in contact
with smen who, for n consideration.
will swear to lie whenever required
The names OF these people they place
on their books, and whenever dis
honest litigator In want OF a witness
applies TO them they are ready to sup
ply the demand within half an hour.
Il For instance, take n swindler who
is in want Of money. IL Is quite easy
for him at night time 10 feign 70 have
been knocked down by a carriage or
cab, and then to sue for damages. To
make his case thoroughly strong he
can even take his false witnesses with
him, so that they may put In an ap-
pearance when the name OF the driver
Is taken. The result of the over.
whelming presence of witness goDer.
ally Is that the case is settled out Of
court.
"In this manner any number OF
blsckmailing cases are got uF which
never come into court on account Of
the defenseless position of the victim
Tho blackmailer, with his accomplicos,
merely pays his victim a visit, during
which they make n definite charge,
and the usual result is they retire
with the money they asked for in
their pockets.
They seldom go into the box, for
their evidence as a rule, is so com.
plete' that the opposing side gives
way. II is quite easy to get hold of a
man who is willing to swear TO an
ordinary lie for 81, while, rs for alb
witnesses, they can be obtained in
almost any saloon for the price OF n
few drinks.
Some false witnesses. however, are
paid very high sums. A friend o.
mine abroad was once offered $3.50 hy
party II he would swear TO a certain
thing; the next day he was offered
$500 by the opposing side, who. OF
course, had no idea tina. he had already
been approached.

The Balmy Spring Weather Causing Trade
10 tighten Up

The Snow-Church Co.'S weekly review
of trade is as follows. But little improve
ment is noticeable in trade at the close
OF the week, and while there has been
an upward tendency. merchants still re-
port uniform dullness in general bust
ness, but have hopes Of a better trade
to come, which. apparently, is not far
distant. Reports from a number Of mer-
chants show a considerable reduction
in net sales as well as net profits. as
compared with the first two weeks Of
March, 1893. and while some dealers speak
or sales being larger in their particular
line for that period yet a necessary ad-
ditlonal expense is required 10 continue
business. The continued mild spring
weather Tor the past few weeks has
caused trade TO have an upward move
and has stimulated consumption in many
lines. Trade in fertilizers report their
line Of business about on a parallel with
that Of March. 1888, with an outlook for
future sales not so bright. which they
attribute 10 the fact that the early
spring has enabled farmers 10 be more
forward in their operations than usual :
also the low price Of tobacco has shaded
the total sales to some extent.
Clearings for the week ending Saturday
are as follows: Showing. s2.066. 25961, as
compared with the corresponding week
OF 1888 showing, s.. GO 905.v7, a decrease OF
S556, 64576. Norfolk trade reports business
gradually looking up. and merchants are
more hopeful as the spring advances
and truckers are enabled 10 place their
products on the market.

NEAI 1.-THE MYSTERY
As 10 the Identity of the Young Man
Charged with Forgery.

There is a neat little mystery connected
with the young man calling himself II.
| W. Eldtidge alias William Boyd. who is
at present languishing in the city Jail
awaiting trial upon the charges OF for
gerry and larceny. an account Of which
has been published in The Times. Eff
forts 10 ascertain who the young man
really is have proven futile, and there is
considerable speculation as 20 his identity
and whence he came.
Eldridge as be persists in calling him

heleht. some twenty-five years OF age.
has dark hair. cledn-shaven face and
hazel eyes He wears rather intelligent
physiognOmy, is fairly well dressed. and
gives every appearance OF being the black
sheep IN d respectable family OF people.
He seems decidedly blue at being con-
fined in jail. and when seen yesterday
hung his head as though he felt keenly
the humiliation OF prison life.
MY name is Eidridge' said he. finally.
when 1 queried him yesterday. and not
Boyd. I simply gave the latter name
when arrested. as 1 didn't care TO reveal
my true name"
Where are you from2' ! asked.
Directly from Brooklyn where have
L spent most Of my life on a cattle ranch
in Colorado, up near The Divide. about
eighty miles from Denver, where my
people live. I've travelled all through the
West and went 10 Brooklyn some time
ago. ] left there recently with the in
tenton OF travelling South. and expected
10 go 10 New Orleans, and thence up The
Mississippi river 10 secure work on one
OF the boats"
When told that information had been
received from Baltimore 10 the effect that
the authorities there knew nothing Of II.
w. Eldridge alias William Boyd. and
that Hon. Isadore Raynor. whom he
stated defended him IN o murder case,
knew nothing II such d man. ne denied
that be had ever claimed TO be a Balti-
MORGAN. and stated emphatcally that he
had never been TO the Monumental city
except 10 pass through.
When asked whether he was married
or single. the young man became sud-
denly restless. and a distinct flush spread
over his face He appeared decidedly en-
barrassed. but answered, falteringly that
he was unmarried. In a running sketch
Of his travels about the country he made
rambling sort Of statements Ii is believed
that he has figured conspicuously in some
romance. as his manner indicated Ser
geant Alexander Tomlinson is Of the opin-
ion that the prisoner is a deserter from
the United States army and has written
the chief OF police Of ST. Louis to ascer-
tain II such a man is known about that
city. The young man stated TO persons
In this city that he killed a man in ST.
Louis He denied that he had ever been
connected with the United States army,
however. and smiled demurely at the idea
when suggested 10 him.
