CoLyMDrs, O., June Is. lsrranEe-
ments were made here Thursday ever
ing for the first step on the part OF the
government to move coal trains since
the forcible opposition to the hauling
of West Virginia coal began.
United States Marshal Echl sent
Deputy Marshal Schlcssinger down TO
bridgeport Thursday night, with in-
structions to take ten deputies Friday
morning and move coal trains for the
Cleveland, Lorraine & Wheeling rail-
road from that point to the Tuscarawas
county line, the limit of Marshal isohfs
district.
At that point it is expected the train
will be taken in charge by deputies
under the direction of United States
Marshal Haskell, whose dis trict begins
there.
When asked by what authority this
action was taken, Marshal BOIL stated
that it came under the ruling of Judge
Taft in which the injunction was
granted, restraining the stoppagc %
trains. and consequently in which the
arrest for contempt Of court was made.

How One OF J''hn Bulls Watchfu1 Organs
Sizes Up Some American Subjects.
Except a Yorkshireman there is no
more self conscious person than your
untraveled American. He knows every
thing. You can't take him in. He
comes from the biggest country in the
world. His smartness is proverbial. He
does not continually exclaim, 81 am a
Yankee, am, but he metaphorically
waves his flag in the face of an effete
civilization and trails his egotism be-
fore the darned old country all the time,
you bet! And it is done surely and per-
sistently. Every whipper snapper of a
sneak thief has him. Notwithstanding
the staleness of the confidence trick in
his own country, he is prey to the first
American sharper or the clumsiest imt-
tator of the Yankee methods whom he
meets in street or barroom. The papers
lately have contained several instances
of the successful practice of the conf
dence trick on Americans. The wonder
is that any one can be f1eeced so easily.
Imagine any sane person being in
duced to hand over his watch and his
purse to total stranger and letting
him go out of sight to test his faith in
the said stranger-''to show his conf
dence" in man he does not care but
ton about, and whose acquaintance he
has only just made This happened the
other day in Holborn to an American
gentleman who parted with watch, ring
and notes to the value of nearly $500.
The story began by one of two conf
dence men spotting him for an Ameri-
can in Holborn and asking him, "Say,
stranger, is this new street,"
The two men were Americans; they
came from Virginia; the dupe was from
New Jersey. Of course they all adj
journed to the restaurant to have q
drink. The first Virginia gentlemen had
come into a large fortune and wanted
to give lot of it away, but not to Brit
ishers-oh, no-but to his own country
men.
The Jersey gentleman was induced to
undertake the Office of my lord bounti,
full to the millionaire and was permit.
ted for time to hold possession OF q
great bundle of spurious notes. Then,
to show his confidence in his new
friends, he handed over all he had about
him, and they presently decamped with
his money, "jewels, cash and plate. y
He had to go home before the police
could catch the masqueraders, but or
reaching New York he will be asked by
cable to keep the promise he made that
he would return and prosecute them il
the dull London detectives could lay
hands on the astute operators from Vir'
ginia-
And this kind Of thing is going OIL
continually. The credulity of people il
general says great deal for the trust
fitness and sympathy of humanity as
whole. Cynics would say that it may
be taken as still more indicative of it:
greed. It certainly says little for it,
caution. The most transparent swindles

WILD BILL A SOLID MAN.
The Body of the Famous Desperate Fla
Turned to Stone.

The Body of the Famous Desperate Had
Turned to Stone.
The climate of Colorado is so exceed
ingly dry in the greater portion of the
state that ordinary objects, such as po-
tatoes, vegetables of various sorts ano
even small animals, petrify when COW
cred with sand. The body of Wild Bill,
the famous desperate, is today solid
stone. He was buried in a sandy coun-
try near Telluride, and about four years
ago his friends decided to put up mon
ument to his memory. They went out
to his grave, which is in the open
prairie, and one of the party, an old
scout, was taken along to exactly locate
where he was buried. The sand had
shifted and blown in great heaps, as it
does all through that country, and the
scout had good deal of difficulty in
absolutely locating the spot. Finally he
struck mound that he said had Wild
Bill under it.
Owing to the uncertainty Of the stu
alton and his hesitancy, the party de-
oided to dig down and see whether he
was right. Presently the spade ran into
a rock-a scarce thing in that country.
They shoveled all around it, and soon
revealed the petrifed image of Wild
Bill, as perfect as the day he died, with
not trace of decomposition. Even the
clothes and shoes were turned to stone.
Some of the parties wanted to take the
body up for the purposes of exhibition.
But one of Bills old pals, Shorty Jake,
as he was called, remarked that the first
man who tried to do so would find bed
in the hole that Bill filled. So the idea
was abandoned. Washington Post.

eReELsYs MANNERS WERg pAp.
kut They Were Forgiven Tor His Fine Aft
er Dinner Speech.

Dinner Speech.
The genial old philanthropist, Horace
Greeley, went to New Orleans after the
south had taken him to her heart in
grateful recognition of his action in GO
ing on the JEFF Davis bail bond, and the
people were anxious to show him every
attention ip their power.
A dinner seemed to be the proper
thing, and the markets of New Orleans,
than which aseTe are few better in the
world, were ransacked to make the oo-
casion as notable for its yiands as for
the distinction Of the guest and The din
ers Judge Walker, the veteran editor
of The Picayune, presided. He was q
great gormand, and after the manner
of Commands wished none of the fine
points of the dinner to be lost to the
guest for lack documentary.
Mr. Greeley" said he, "these oys-
tiers are the best that come to our MAJ
ket, and we think they vie with those
of Norfolk. OBSERVE that you are not
eating them. !"
"Well, no, replied Greeley. "The
truth is I never could abide shellfsh. >
and he passed.
Then came some delicious green tur.
tie soup, which Judge Walker explain
ed was prepared from the finest fat tur-
tie the Florida bays could afford.
mo doubt, no doubt, - was the reply
in Greeley's peculiar whine, "but cold
blooded animals are an abomination to
me. -
The pompano, imperial fish that it is.
and fresh from the gulf, was open &c
the same objection, despite Judge Wal.
ker's eulogy, and that, too, was passed.
Mr.. Greeley barely tasted the accompa.
nying Partisan dainty and shook his
head ruefully at the idea that anybody
would impair his digestion by eating
cucumbers. Shrimp salad, another New
Orleans delicacy, proved no more tempt
ing. Shrimps, he said, looked so much
like worms that they always give him
the creeps.
"Ah, here is something you will lik-
"a homely dish in name" said Judge
Walker, "but fit for the gods. 1t is 8
Galicia ham," And then he went on
to tell how the hogs from which these
hams were obtained were fed only on
chestnuts, making the flesh luscious and
delicious.
Perhaps so, very interesting In
Decd" observed Greeley, "but do you
know, judge, that there is so much talk
of trichina nowadays that wouldn't
dare taste bit of pork.
The judge gave up in despair. The
only things in all the array of dainties
which had been provided which Mr..
Greeley would eat were bread, potatoes
and caulifower, and he feared that he
might be overlooking his stomach al
that. But when it came to the speak
ing, although he had drunk nothing but
cold water, he spoke as one inspired and
with feryor, eloquence and tender
ness that nobody at the table could ever
forget. Chicago Inter Ocean.

Lost a Small Fortune.

There was quite crowd around a
coalbole in the sidewalk, and it was
soon learned that lady who was pass

and they were getting her out. She was
not hurt in the least, but rather fright

accompanied her was executing a series
of gymnastics around her.

asked anxiously.
''Not bit, Richard. !"
''No sprains or broken bones?"
"Not one. You see, 1 was caught by
a man who was passing, and that saved
me from being hurt. "
