things uncomfortable for State Detective
LUCKY" Harrison, who is guarding the
house where James Ryan died two weeks
ago, No. 231 Newark street, Hoboken. Yes
terday afternoon Peter came up Newark
street as Harrison stood thinking in front of
the house.
ssHey!' calculated Peter. Peter had OBJ
served that snow lay on the sidewalk. As
Harrison did not appear to be working too
lard Peter had a vague idea that LUCKY
might be wanting to clear 1t up.
Hearing Kerrigan's salute LUCKY
aroused himself from his reverie and allowed
his eyes to move until they rested on Kerri-
gan. "Oh, get OUT responded Harrison, as
he prepared for a bombardment.
"Clean that snow up,n commanded Kerri-
gan.
swell, you've got a deuce of a gall" ex-
claimed Lucky THAT snow will be all
melted away before | get at it" he remarked
in conclusion. About that time Kerrigan
noticed the butt end of a revolver sticking
from "Lucky's'' pocket. Realizing that
| guns are somewhat dangerous and that life
is too precious to lose, Keriigan performed
| an about face and assumed a double quick
| down the street.
The snow remains on the walk yet, and
Peter has not pestered Harrison since.

bacco BOX.
CHICAGO, Feb. 16, 1894.-A special to the
Tribune from Toronto, Ont, says:-Desire
Longlin, a former French Canadian who
has lived in Pawtucket, R. l., for a number
of years, arrived in Montreal yesterday on
his way to st. Constant, his old home. His
object is to obtain certificates of his birth,
which he claims is the only thing necessary to
put him ID possession of a fortune of $4,000
900. Longlin tells a curious story. He
managed to build up a good trade as a con-
tractor, and lived in easy circumstances,
unawar up to two months ago chat q
fortune was hidden away in
his home. About that time his
children had as a favorable toy a little old
tin tobacco box. Where it came from, or
how they obtained it, no one knows One
day the box opened, and the children were
unable to shut it. When they called some
of the grown people to their assistance, it
was found that it contained several docu-
ments, yellow with age, which proved to be
the will of the brother of Desires GRANDPA
Their, who, from accompanying documents, it
was proved owned large tracts of land in
and about New York, which through sue
session now becomes the property of Desire
and his brother Olivier. Some of the land is
situated on Broadway, New York, AMI some
on Long Island. opposite Bedloes Island.
The property, it is said, is valued at $12, 000,-
900. Mr.. Longlin is accompanied by MI. w.
S.. Robertson, a Pawtucket lawyer, who says
there is not the slightest doubt that the
Longlins will obtain the property.

The notorious Mill Gang" which infests
Eleventh street, yesterday afternoon took
forcible possession of Michael Kuezynski's
saloon, at No. 1872 Eleventh street. The pro-
prietor, a Pole, who is unable to speak Eng
lish, was locked in his saloon, while the gang.
eight in number, proceeded to have a good
time. The pool tables were uncovered, and
the gang played to their hearts con-
tent. When any member became thirsty,
one of the number would go behind
the bar and serve liquor and cigars. The
liquor soon got in it's work and the gang
yelled in glee. Policeman Barry happened
to pass, and trying the front door and find
ing it locked, concluded hat something was
wrong. He summoned Policeman Noonan,
and an investigation was made. Finding
the gang inside, Barry entered by a rear
door and kept the gang prisoners while
Noonan called the patrol wagon. They
were hustled in n taken to
the Second precinct police station
where they registered as Thomas Murphy,

SOCIETY AT CAKE WALK.

The Colored C~oachmen's Association held
a cake walk at Bergen Hall last night, and
all the upper class darkies of the city were
present. There were also among the specta-
tors several of the 400, who dropped in as a
lark after leaving the performance of s.Cin-
derella." They seemed to enjoy the walking
of their coachmen at Bergen Hall fully as
much as they did the dancing Of the little
children at the high class, exclusive Has
brouck Hall. The ladies clapped their
gloved hands in encouragement of the walk
ers, and they in turn did their p~rettiest to
please. The walk was a close contest be-
tween Ira Cook, the champion walker of
Hudson County, and J.. Z. Mitchell, DR..
Dickinson's coachman and President OF the
association. The judges had hard work to
decide, SO they finally made the men drop
their ladies aud walk down the centre of the
hall alone. Cook lost on the shuttle, that is,
he shufied his feet, and the cake was award
ed to Mitchell, who walked without a mis-
