l. The one object which all cyclists
should keep steadily In view Is to be-
come ''scorcherS" There. are three
essentials before you can earn this
proud title. First, you must totally
disregard the convenience or safety of
the public. Second, you must ride at
minimum rate of fifteen miles an hour.
Third, you must develop pronounced
curvature of the spine as quickly as is
compatible with your other engage
ments.
Q. Races should always be held on
the high roads at a time of day when
traffic is busiest.
3. Should you be unfortunate
enough to knock down a pedestrian.
do not trouble to stop ard apologize
or inquire If he's hurt It is his buSi-
ness to get out of your way, and you
should remind him of this obligation
in the most forcible language at your
fdisposal. This will tend to make the
,pastime exceedingly popular among
on-cyclists
1. If you notice an cd gentle man
crossing the road wait till you get
quite close to him, then emit a wild
wsrwhoop, blow your trumpet auI
enjoy the roaring fun of seeing what
a shock you have given him
S. A still better plan, if wayfarer
happens to be walking in tho middle
of the road and going in your direc-
ton, is not to signal your approach at
all, but to startle him into fits by sud
denly and silently gliding by him
when he believes himself to be quite
alone The nearer you. can shave his
person the better the sport.
Y g. OF course the last pan is much
improved if the wayfarer should be
market woman carrying milk or eggs.
and, if in her fright, she drops her
can or basket. Unfortunately few
cyclists have the good fortune to wit
ness this exquisite bit of rural comedy.

CIVIL ENGINEERS.

Private Note Books.


Private Note Books.
''Ile was the best surveyor and
draughtsman in my employ" said
wcll-known civil engineer few days
ago, referring to a man whom he had
just discharged. 81 discovered short
time ago that he was keeping a pTi-
vate notebook, and after notifying
him that he must stop it and again
learning that he was continuing the
practice l was obliged to discharge
him"
aked the gentleman to explain
what ne meant by "koep:ng q private
It ,-bool1 "
IA surveyor" said he, ''in doing q
piece of work makes minutes as he
goes along of the lin es he runs, of the
Ta=.ous points marking the bounds of
she lands he is surveying and all ~uch
aata as is not only necessary TO the
ara wing of his plans, but alG Incl
4cnt1lly that which may aid him in
the case of any other s1rvey being
made later on.
''IA.s data, v5n see, really con
stitutes a sort of capital or stock q
trade, for if the party owning :ae
land ever wishes another surv-y of it
for any purpose he will 1aturally
apply to that same @a:'veyor, who.
having these old memoranda, can do
the work easier and more cheaply
than any other surveyor. OftentimcS,
after many years have elapsed and
old landmarks have passed away,
those minutes become very valuable.
consequently civil engineer nj
ways wishes to keep these in his own
hands, and men in his employ are not
allowed to make copies of minutes OF
surveys which they make while in his
employ. Otherwise an old employe,
in leaving and setting up in business
for himself, could carry away large
slice of his employers business.

m rmmnmioua Form OF HEmsaunaM Carried
out with Their Help.
In speaking OF men who earn their
living by swearing false oaths, one of
their number says: "a reliable per-
iurer is . valuable man There are
several broken-down lawyers, wHo,
shut out from the courts, make it part
of their business TO keep in contact
with men who, for consideration,
will swear to lie whenever required
The names Of these people they place
on their books, and whenever dis
honest litiRator in want of . witness
applies to them they are ready to sup
ply the demand within half an hour.
~ For instance, take swindler who
is in want of money. 1t IS quite easy
for him at night time to feiGn to have
been knocked down by . 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 gener-
ally is that the case is settled out of
court.
''In this manner any number OF
blackmailing cases are got up which
never come into court on account OF
the defenseless position of the victim.
The blackmailer, with his accomplices.
merely pays his victim visit, during
which they make a definite charge.
and tho usual result is they retire
with the money they asked for in
their pockets.
"They seldom go into the box. for
their evidence rs a rule, is SO com
plete' that the opposing side gives
way. 1t is quite easy to get hold of a
man who is willing to swear to an
ordinary lie for 81, while, as for alb
witnesses, they can be obtained in
almost any saloon for the price of a
few drinks.
Some false witnesses. however, are
paid vecJ high sums. A friend o.
mine abroad was once offered $3.50 by
a party if he would swear to a certain
thing; the next day he was offered
$500 by the opposing side, who, OF
course, had no idea that he had already
been approached.

FRAUD IS
CHARGED.
After the Members of a
Defunct Firm.
1T IS A CRIMINAL ACTION
POttSville, Shenandoah and Mt. Carme
People Are Involved in the Case.
What the Complainant Alleges.

Isaac Levine, of town, was before JUS
tice Dengler last night charged by Horris
Rubinski, of Pottsville, with conspiracy
in conjunction with one Simon Kronosky,
of Mt. Carmel, to cheat and defraud the
complainant out OF $3.50. Levine furnished
$500 bail for trial and Constable Tosh
went to Mt. Carmel this morning to ar
rest Kronosky.
According to Rubinski's affidavit in the
case Kronosky, in order to cheat and
defraud the creditors of the firm of Kro-
nosky & Sinegelski doing business at Mt
Carmel, did, on the 21th day Of October,
1894, enter into a fraudulent conspiracy
with Isaac Levine, who is the father.in-law
of Kronosky, to confess Judgment in the
name of the firm and in favor of certain
alleged preferred creditors and in pursu-
ance of such agreement Kronosky executed
Judgment note in favor of one l.. Shapiro
in trust for certain alleged creditors for
the sum of 1865, which judgment was at
once entered up in the Court of Common
Pleas of Northumberland county, and by
virtue of an execution the Sheriff of that
county sold out the goods of the firm S
store at Mt. Carmel
Rublnski also sets forth that whether
or not all the parties named in the trust
Judgment are bona iide creditors he is not
advised, but he asserts that Isaac Levine,
if a creditor Of the firm at all, was not en-
titled to more than about $40, but that
Kronosky and Levine, in order to cheat and
defraud him, Rubinski and other credi.
tors, fraudulently conspired to insert the
name of Isaac Levine in the Judgment to
the amount of $500 for the purpose of GOV
ering the stock of goods in the store at
Mt. Carmel and fraudulently convert and
5sorb the proceeds of the Sheriff s sale
to the exclusion of Rubinski aud Other
creditors.
Rubinski is in the wholesale dry goods
and notions business at Pottsville and
sold Kronosky's firm $3.50 worth of goods
before the failure.

A Narrow EScape

Anthony Grojok, a Hungarian, residing
at Honey Brook, visited friends in town
yesterday and when he started for the
train to go home had good load of beer
on board. He stepped on the first train
that left the Lehigh Valley depot and it
proved to be the train that runs up to the
red bridge and then backs into siding to
lay over until il is time to make the af-
ternoon run to Pottsville. AS soon as
Crook discovered his mistake he jumped
from the moving train and landed on his
head, only few inches from the wheels
of the train. He was picked up uncon
scious with two severe scalp wounds and
a badly damaged nose. He regained his
senses about five minutes after he made
the jump and was guided to the house of
a friend in the First ward.
