HE WAS NO COWARD.

His Day For Fighting Was About Due.
Say" he began, as he buttonholed
me In the corridor, you don't believe
in fi~libustering, do your

wouldn't be led into a riot and
fight it out on that line, because a
Woman ~insinuated that you was a
coward2"
THAT depends"
"Wouldn't strike a woman eitherH'
II should say not"
But suppose she hit you a clip on
the ear with a stove lifter9'
Il should keep out of her way"
And if she followed you out with a
rolling pin and made you see stars in
the middle of the day, you wouldn't
lay a finger On her9"
But you have no right to-"
That's what she says. No rights at
all, not even tx breathe the same air
she does. Sac that bump on my
head?"
Yes"
Does that look like a towards
bumpi No, sir; it is the principle of
my life to do the square thing. I've
lived up to my motto Here it is:
He who fights and runs away,
May live to fight another day.
Termorrow's my day. I've stood all
a brave man can to defend his honor,
but termorr0w l shall sweep every
thing before me with a remorseless
hand. OUGHT that bump hurts."-

TOLD BY A RETIRED BURGLAR.
a Burglary in Which He Was Caught
With the Goods in his Possession

"a burglary In Which He Was Caught
With the Goods in his Possession
/ spent one term in prison that
never disturbed me in the least" said
retired burglar, for the proof against
me was of such a nature that there
couldn't be any possibility of mistake
ABOUT 1T; and then, distressing as it
was to me, I couldn't help admiring
the manner in which l was caught.
Il had found my way in a house to
the principal occupied chamber, and
had surveyed the room as we'll as l
could by the dim light thai was plrn,
Ing without using my gn lamp. 1t
was a handsomely furnished room, and
1t gave one a comfortable feeling just to
look into it.
Il got over to the bureau and set my
lamp down on the top of it and got to
work. The key had been left in the
top drawer. That seemed a little care
less, but 1t made my work just SO much
easier. l turnd that key as though it
had been in velvet; the drawer, like
the drawers in all we'll constructed
bureaus opened smooth and true.
Il reached in at the right hand
corner, where people generally keep
their pocket books and almost the first
thing my hand touched was a silver
purse, one of the kind that people used
to carry more than they do now, wal
let shaped, opening on a hinge, with
accordion like compartments inside,
and shutting with a snap. This pocket
book was carved or embossed on the
sides, and it was beautiful, knew, and
l liked pretty things, and 1 sort of held
on to 1t with my hand in the drawer,
at the same time running my Otner
hand along toward the other coner.
With that hand, a N later, l
picked up a slender silver bottle, and l
never regretted anything so mu n in
my life, for that bottle was the other
handle of an electric battery, and l
could not let go.
81 cried out; I couldn't help it; but
that didn't do any harm, the instant 1
touched the boz tie a bell began to ring
loud enough to wake anybody up, even
if [ hadn't made a sign myself. Then
a man sat up In bed, turned up a light,
and looked at me and said:
"'Hello, therer
"And I said, 'HelloI though it was
pretty hard work for me to talk.
"All this time he was getting out of
bed, and when his fee5 touched the
floor he leaned over and pulled some
thing on the wall; of course that was
simple enough; a police signal. Then
he looked over at me again.
"'Think you can stand itY' he said.
And, of course, / said l could;
though I was lying or the floor now,
and had about all 1 could do to keep
from twisting and squir ming 1 had
the pocket-bOok IN one hand, you un-
derstand, and the silver bottle in the
other, and l could see now the wires
running from them up into the bureau
drawer. All this time the man was
keeping on dressing. In two or three
minutes more l heard somebody at the
street door of the house, the police, a
minute later two of them had cOllard
me, and the man shut off the current
LAS I said, this thing never disturbed
me in the least; but after 1 got out, as
long as 1 remained in active life, l
made it a point never to pick up two
things at once in the dark."-Ne1U

THE OvERMAN-KNIGHT QUARREL.
Both Sides of the Story Told I'm Police
Cnnrt

Yesterday morning Harry Overmsn, a
travelling man, was fined s. and costs by
Judge Stubs on a charge of resisting an
officer. c. r. Knight OWNS a cigar store
on Indiana avenue, but is employed at the
Surgical Institute. and his wife has charge
of the store. Last Monday the Board Of
Safety granted Knight special police pow
ers for service at the institute. That same
evening Knight saw his wife and Mr..
Overman walking along Tennessee street
together, and arrested Overman on a
charge of offending people on the street
resisting an officer. The story, as
Overman tells 1t, Is that he was in the
habit of buying cigars from Mrs. Knight,
and stopped in the store for that purpose
Monday evening. Mrs. Knight was just
ready to close up, and as Oyerman was an
old friend she asked him to walk down
to her mothers with her. They started
out together. and when walking along the
street was suddenly assaulted and knocked
down by Knight from behind. He imme-
diately jumped up and defended himself.
not knowing who his assailant was until
after he had struck Knight, when knight
told him he was under arrest and displayed
his badge, which had been concealed I'M
der his coat. As soon as he learned that
knight was an officer he went to the sta
ton house with him. George Potter. who
WAS only a short distance away at the
time. corroborateS Overman's story as to
the assault. Mrs. knight says Overman
asked permission to walk home with her
instead Of she asking him.. Overman says
he will cause the arrest OF Knight on q
charges against him before the Board of
Safety.

Arguments of the First Mortgage Bond

Judge Bartholomew yesterday refused to

be sold on May 10 and the court Ends that
the sale must go as advertised. The argu-
ment on the merits OF the case came up
yesterday, r. L. Ashhurst, of Philadelphia.
and Attorney Henry b. johnson, OF New
York, appearing for the second mortgage
bondholders. Charles Robinson Smith. of
New York, represented the first mortgage
bondholders. Butler & Snow, A L. Mason
and Baker & Daniels appeared for Sands
and Pierce. trustees; Winter & ELAN. for
the Farmers Load and Trust Company,
and Noble c.. Butler, trustee Tor the sec
ond mortgage bondholders. The applicant
for extension contended that the financial
stringency and the failure Of Millenyea &
Co., of New York, who had agreed to take
the bonds that would be issued, had pre-
vented the completion Of the purchase.
The attorneys for the first mortgage bond
holders held that there had already been
too much time spent in the protection of the
junior interests. and that the road was de-
teriorating. Afidavits were presented
showing that the net earnings of the road
