THE BREEDING CASE.
Young "Doc" Breeding Leave
For st. Louis for Trial.

For st. Louis for Trial.
Yesterday afternoon the case
against DIR. j. B. Breeding, for
fraudulently using the United
States mails, was dismissed by U.
S. Commissioner Price on applica-
ton of defendants lawyers, and
the government waived its right
to the custody Of the prisoner. De-
tective Sam Allender and Stenog-
rapher Appleman, the latter being
brought here for purposes of iden-
LITIGATION and as the main witness
for tn state of Missouri, left last
evening with the prisoner for st.
Louis. The defendant was accom-
panied by his wife and child, and
her mother, Mrs. M. Morris.
The accused had nothing to SAY
for publication before his depart
ure, beyond what he already has
said, that it is all case of mis-
taken identity which he will be
able easily to clear up and regain
his liberty.
If he is released and the charges
dismissed, there lis no doubt the
Wells-Fargo Express company will
be sued for heavy damages, and
there will also be suits for libel
against several big st. Louis pa:
pers, most of which have seeming
ly convicted him of the offense
charged before he is even tried.

A wise move has been made by the West
End Railroad company of Boston in intro.
ducing a new arrangement whereby pas.
sengers can leave street cars more quickly
and more conveniently. The ease of exit is
factor in the comfort of passengers that
street railway companies have hitherto been
strangely negligent of. Rapid transit in most
American cities is still in its early stages,
and so long as people could travel from one
point to another they have put up as best
they could with the crush and turmoil and
.vitiated air of crowded cars
But the public is becoming somewhat
FESTIVE under this burden of discomfort,
and, what is still more to the point, the ra
way companies are beginning to recognize
that if they are TO retain aud increase their
business they must make their lines at
tractive.
The lead of the West End company will
probably soon be followed by developments
in the same direction. Their improvement
consists of "A pair'of doors placed at the cor.
ners of the ends of the cars instead of the
single door usually occupying the center Of
the ends of the cars.
Only one of the doors will be open at a
time-that on the side of the car farthest
from the adjoining track-but it will readi
ly be seen that by this device escape from a
crowded car will be much less a matter OF
an anxious and annoying struggle than it
but too often is at present. The newly
fitted vehicles are well named ''acceleratol
cars. "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Another name, our Paris correspondent
says, is added to the list of boy heroes of
the French wars by the death of a drummer
boy at the siege of Maubeuge 100 years AGO
The circumstances, overlooked at the time,
were brought to light by modern historians
of the French revolution Strauh, or Stroh,
as it is also spelled, was drummer at II
in the French Royal Swedish regiment. 1t
was on Oct. Is, 1893 The army of the con
vention had undertaken to raise the siege of
Maubeuge by the Austrians and Strauh's
regiment had been sent to occupy the vii
lage of DOurers. Regardless of danger, the
young drummer slipped through the lines
of Austrian skirmishers by hedges and
bitches, and reached the center of the vii
lage, where he proceeded to perform on his
drum rafting call to arms.
The enemy, believing that the French had
occupied the village, retreated in disorder
This enabled the French to get up to the
first houses of the village. BY this time the
Austrians had discovered how they had
been played with and were in no humor to
forgive the author of their defeat. Strauh
ran for his life, but too late Surrounded
in front Ofth church by Hungarian grena-
diers he fell, having himself shot down sew
eral of his assailants. A peasant hidden in
| a loft had witnessed the whole scene Some
/ years later in the army he met Strauhs
| brothers, who We're aware that the drum
mer boy had been killed, but We're ignorant
/ of the circumstances of his death until the

/ ground in front Of the church of Dourlcrs,
boys skeleton was found among the
bodies of seven Hungarian grenadiers

impossible to authenticate, received a CON

Reuben Dean lives in the rather sleepy
little town of b in the state of New Jer-
sey, and he has acquired the unenviable
reputation Of being an uublushiug liar and
boaster Up to one night about two weeks
/ ago he missed no opportunity to bore some
/ body with tale of some terrific adventure
/ through which he had passed, taking care
/ to depict himself as the fearless hero of
each bloodcurdling episode. He declared
he did not believe in spirits other than those
to be found at the bar of the village tavern,
and he professed to hold in the greatest con
tempt any one who feared ghosts or the SUI
pernatural
Reuben lived about mile and half
outside Of the village and it was his Gus
/ tom each night after supper to hitch his
/ scrawny old white horse into his wobbly
wagon and ride down to the "hOwtel,"
where he was certain to meet his cronies
and spend an hour or two romancing and
Dragging. Through the day he kept the
white horse out to pasture and one night
he found the animal had knocked out sew
eral lengths of the staggering fence and
escaped from confinement. If he spent
much time to search for the horse, he would
not get into town in time to hODnob with
his set, so he started out afoot, satisfied the
horse would not 90 far and no one would
steal him.
just outside the village is the cemetery,
which Reuben passed every night. This
evening, some time before he came to the
cemetery, he fell in with two men of the
place, who were on their way to the postof-
flee. As the three trudged along the sub
ject of ghosts happened to come up, and
one of the men remarked that old Mother
Carey, who had the reputation of being
witch, had been buried that day.

Washington March 14-A. J. Cassatt.
of Philadelphia, whose colors are well

member OF the Jockey Club, in speaking
of the outlook for racing this season,
said. "There will be good sport, | be-
lieve, but think there will be none in

SO numerous there. and we've run SO
directly for the profit of their owners,
that pablo sentiment became aroused
against them, so, repeat, think there
will be no racing in New. Jersey this

s'that the Jockey Club will work even
tnalIy toward preventing the increase IN
the number of racing associations as
we'll as to keep from being run for the
personal profit of those interested IN
their management This will be follow

cousins warded off an evil which we
have already felt the effects of in New
Jersey. The owning of racetracks be-
came 80 enormously profitable that every
body wanted one"
d. Wlthers had the right idea about
conducting racecourse, and he carried
it out at Monmouth Park. He believed
that no more money than 6 per cent,
profit should be paid to the investors,
and that any surplus remaining should
be expended in improving the property
and given to the horses in increased
purses and stakes. Consequently Mon
mouth Park has never paid more than
6 per cent, and the rest of the profit has
been expended as indicated. Mr.
Withers thought sush plan would inn
prove the sport, aud I agree with him.

its influence toward preventing the

Charaes against Capt. Walsh.

Capt. John E. Walsh, Company d,
Seventh Regiment, is to be courtmar-
tailed on charges made by lieutenant
Bernard Rogers.
The charges allege misrepresentation
of the States money and falsifying the
company's records.
The amount involved is $36 and it is
charged that it was secured by Captain
Walsh at the colse of the encampment
at Sea Girt in 1892 The repres-
ents the pay of four privates, who
were recorded as at the camp on the
company roll, when they were not pre-
sent Paymaster Murray made out
checks for the four privates payable to
the order of each. The checks were
given to Capt. Walsh.
These privates, it is said, never re-
ceived ths checks aud they were not en-
titled to them. The checks afterward
passed through the Trenton banks each
with endorsements, the first bearing the
name of the private for whom the check
was drawn.
Lieutenant Rogers further says that
the record of the company at the camp
show that the four absent privates were
present, received the checks, and that
opposite each name was that of wit
ness who certified that the four checks
had been properly turned over.
These charges we're made five months
ago by the Lieutenant. When they were
made, and at the time they reached the
hands of General Sewell, an effort was
made by persons interested in Captain
Walsh to settle the trouble. but Captain
Walsh refused to listen to any talk OF
settlement, and declared emphatically
his innocence of using the States money
for himself.
Captain Walsh refuses to make any
statement at the present time. The
charges grew out OF some trouble be-
tween the officers of the company:
