For THE RECORD.
A NIGHT WITH THE SEWER SIDES

One morning 'mong my letters 1 an invitation
found;
1t read, " Jack, we meet this evening. and hope
We expect large attendance, for we've plenty
beer and grub;
IT'S the regular monthly meeting of the Sewer
When read the invitation made up my mind
togo
humor flow,
Where men of mighty intellect and wlsd ON I'M
excelled
Composed the monthly meetings by the Sewer
Sides" held
When the meeting came to order jamie passed
around the beer,
While 4" Pieky took this pa ss-word up, "All men
are equal here"
Then Smller" spread the waters, the bologna
and the cheese
Be fore the jovial "sewer.sides." their hunger to
appease.
Then the handsome, manly lineman spoke about
Talked of poles and wires, lines and pliers, guys
and other chat,
And the Dude" worked off some poetry, the
brakeman sang song,
But all Of them were falures-their illusions were
too long.
Then the fun began In earnest" Hank paced
up and down the room,
He tore his hair and rolled his eyes, and peerd
into the gloom;
He then ratified off Othellos lines and lagos Bit
ter sneer,
And defed the raging elements, like poor, old,
mad King Lear.
Then !" Jimmy jumped upon his feet and spoke
upon the Bible;
II Q said he'd prove that Moses and creation we're
libel,
That the world was much older by ten thoussnd
years or more
Here the members raised objections, but Jim
my +" had the floor.
oh the way he scored tradition was feast for
unbeievers;
He sa ID Moses and the prophets were lot OF base
deceivers:
Then he changed his theme to music, he was
QUITE at home on that.
He could whistle the chromatic scale and double
b fat.
d" Deb " was sitting In corner-he seem'd very Ill
at ease
Soon he cried, ooh, iimmiDy crickets, Mike is
eating all the cheese /"
That caused great commotion they said Mike
was playing hog;
Mike said, :. You must excuse ME, boys I could
not eat the 'dog.'n
This sally from Old Baggage" caused good hui
NOR to prevail,
And the fun grew fast and furious, Till therstuR"
began to fall
The meeting soon adjourned, for without good
cheer and grub
They cannot hold a meeting of the sewer-side

Master Gordon, of Trenton, who, With
Horace Reading, of Stockton, went on a
piscatorial trip last Saturday to Raven
Rock OF course, all the preliminary ar
raugements were made by Horace and all
there was to do when James got there was
TO get in the boat and fish. After anchor
ing in the stream and throwing out their
lines they awaited further developments.
One or two moves were necessary before
proper place was secured. At last for
tune favored Horace and a fine bass was
brought to boat. Live frogs were the
tempting bait aud it seemed funny that
friend Jim did not get even a bite; but
after waiting some time and seeing the
success of bis partner, Jim made an ex>
animation and to his surprise found that
the "dear little froggie had swan out
and climbed upon rock which protrnded
from the stream and with contented air
seemed to say, "It's cold day when l

ANOTHER ST. LOUIS MYSTERY,
Cry of Murder Heard and Trail OF
ClOtted Blood Found.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 13.-Another mystery has
given the police a great deal of work This
morning officer found trail of cotted
blood on Morgan street near Taylor
avenue. He followed II, and found bloody
hat with hole in it. Near by wagon tracks
indicated that the murdered man had been
carted away. y little before the discovery
was made the night watchman at James
Hardy's livery stable, on Delmar avenue
west of Taylor avenue heard cry from
the lot where the hat was discovered: "Oh
don't murder me-" He could not leave his
post, however, TO investigate. This morn
ing a contractor named Christie Smith
identified the hat that of his brother
Michael. who won 5000 in u lottery two
weeks ago, and has been on a protracted
spree for several days Smith thought his
brother had been murdered for his money
Doctors analyzed the blood and said il was
human gore. Besides the cry heard by
Kane, the watchman at Hardy's stable a
patient at the Baptist Sanitarium. on Tay-
Tor and FRANKLIN avenue, said he had been
awake during the night and heard cry

in the neighborhood heard any unusual
noises The only evidence of the murder

several tragedies \ trail at least a foot

for twenty feet through the dead leaves
The wagon tracks We're followed short
distance and another pool OF blood was
found. and the soil was disarranged as IL
the body had fallen from tho vehicle. The
hole IN the hat was evidently made by a
sharp knife blade.
After spending all day the case the
police decided Michael Smith had been muir
dered for his money. About o'clock, to-
night. however. their work was shown 10

out the agreement OF the committee that

to others, who just submit their speeches
for publication I'm the record, he may con-
tent himself with publication only. A great

that he had to-day been informed by a

would give the measure their support. and
that, therefore. the action Of the COMMITTEES
