lectors of the scheme asked the Pough-

cept lower rate of interest or release
the Reading from the guaranty and enter
into possession of the property.
Neither proposition, it is announced,
will be accepted. The bon 1holders of the
Poughkeepsie Bridge system have cast
iron guaranty for principal and interest
and no reorganization of the Reading
short of foreclosure can be accomplished
without their consent. Threats of fore

HoBBs's LEGS.
If They Were Broken, Their Healing Was
Surgical Wonder.

Boston, January 16.-F. A. Hobbs Of
Stock bridge, ex-receiyer of the Stock
bridge savings bank, arrived in Boston
today in charge of the deputy sheriff of
Pittsfeld, who had served upon Hobbs
the capiss issued by the Supreme court.
Hobbs has shown decided disinclina-
tion to turn over the papers of the Stock
bridge bank to the new receiver, and has
been confined to his house in Stock bridge
ostensibly suffering from serious injury
to both legs. A physician made an ex-
animation of Hobbs's legs. upon the
arrival of the train upon which the ex-
receiver rode, aud reported that one of
Mr.. Hobbs legs presented no appearance
of injury whatever, and the other was
slightly discolored He thought that if
MIR. Hobbs's legs had been broken by a
heavy coal cart, as had been stated, they
must have healed in a decidedly rapid
manner Mr.. Hobbs was removed to the
Emergency hospital.
Later in the day, Hobbs was taken
into court, adjndged guilty of contempt
and sentenced to six months imprison-
ment.

He WEARS DIAMONDS.
The Man Who Swindled New York Jewel
ry Firms of Rouud Sum.

New York, January 16. 1T was learned
today that the man who swindled W. H.
Ball & Co., jewellers, at Is Johns street,
in this city, out of $1,000 worth of brace
let's swindled another jewelry firm, A.
Lounsbury & Son, at 81 Nassau street.
December 27, the man, who represented
himself to both firms as Mr.. Norman, of
Brown, Norman & Co., dry goods, Nash
vile, Tenn, visited Lonsbury g. Sons
office and said his brother-in-law,
Leonard Muller, tailor at SO Massachu-
setts avenue, Indianapolis, Ind, wished
to make New Years present TO his
wife. Norman thought diamond pend
ant would be very suitable. Mr.. Louns-
bury. senior, showed him some valued
at $500 each. The alleged Kor-
man thought the price too high
and asked for cheaper jewels.
Finally he selected three. valued at 5000
each and directed that they be sent to
Muller. Norman said two would be re-
turned with check for the pendant
kept The firm learning that Brown,
Norman & Co., and Muller were rated
high, shipped the three pendants to In
dianapolis by the National Express COM
pany. A few days later, no word being
heard from Muller, telegram was sent
him, but could not be delivered. 1t was
said that Muller had gone out out of
town for few days: Lounsbury & Son
have not yet been able to locate either
him or Norman. They notified the
National Express company and the latter
is now investigating the matter. Kor-
man is described as of medium height,
dark complexion, black hair and NOUS
tache. He wore dark suit of clothing.
When Norman called on Ball & Co., he
said he wanted some bracelets for his
brother-in-law, A. Bart of New Albany.
Ball & Co. were satisfied with Brown
Norman & Company's and Bart's rating
and allowed Norman to select $1,000
worth of bracelets which they sent to
Bart at New Albany. When the
goods arrived at their destination, the
real Bart, well known retired merchant,
said he knew nothing about them. The
counterfeit Bart called at the express
office later, and with the aid of letters,
succeeded in taking away the goods.
Ball & Co., have sent an agent to New
Albany to assist the police in running
down the swindler

Gloucester, Mass, January 16.-The
schooner Essex, Captain John Thomas,
sailed from this port Saturday on had

having in tow coal laden schooner,
which she had picked up on Georges
The vessel was sighted Sunday morning,
with her flag in the rigging Union down,
and proved to be the schooner Spartel of
Pembroke, Me-, with cargo of coal,
bound from New York to this port, the
cargo being consigned to George J. Tarr

and the latter said he was and wanted to
be taken off. Soon the captain and crew,

was seen later in the forenoon by a
journal reporter. He told a thrilling
story of their trip. They left New York
came out from there Thursday morning.
The vessel drifted by Shovelful and
Handkerchief Shoals and was in danger
of going ashore on Pollock Rip. To
avoid this he anchored and it came on
to blow heavy from the northwest They
let go second anchor, and none too
soon. for the other chain parted and soon
the vessel, being evidently on shoal
spot, began to pound, but she fortunate
ly dragged her anchor and went clear.
Friday morning, as she was still in a
dangerous position, the captain decided
to take chances on the open sea, and ac-
cordingly slipped anchor and kedge. A
balance reef was put in the mainsail and
part of the jib was hoistd and the vessel
was soon at sea.
That night found her on Georges in a
desperate condition, badly listed and
both anchors gone. The vessel was bad
steward iii, and the Vessel leaking 500
strokes an hour. To add to these things
the cabin was full of water over the tops
of rubber boots. Altogether their plight
was deplorable and their condition all
the more serious because the crew were
thoroughly exhausted and unable to do
anything in their own behalf
All day Saturday they drifted, and to
add to their perilious position they had
lost all their water and ware beginning
to suffer from thirst On Sunday morn
ing they sighted ship and set their
flag union down, but the ship evidently
did not see it and kept on her course.
About O'Clock they sighted the Essex
bearing down upon them, and were soon
safe on her deck

PUT A NICKEL in THE SLOT.
The Mayor Says 1t Is a Gambling Imple-
ment, and Its Owner Replies that in
That Case, the Mayor Gambled.

Maiden, January 16.-'A rich rel
ative will leave you fortune"
A few days ago it cost Mayor Harris
Batchelder of Everett nickel to learn
from nickel-in-the-slot machine of the
prospective wealth in store for him. His
object in testing the machine, however
was to secure evidence against Freeman
L. Wallace, who keeps a periodical store
which is also used as car station on
Broadway. The mayor learned that
there were several of these slot machines
in the city where a person stood about
one chance in three of getting cigar for
a nickel, and he concluded that it was a
species of gambling. He resolved to
test the case, and when the machine had
told him his fortune as above he caused
the arrest of the proprietor of the store,
Mr. Wallace.
The case was tried before the district
court here today. Mayor Batchelder
was present as complainant, with c. G.
Nichols as counsel, while Peter J. Nc
Guire appeared for the defense.
Mayor Batchelder testified to visiting
Wallace's store and dropping a nickel in
the slot of the machine, when card
bearing the foregoing inscription was
presented. He said that he received
nothing else for his money.
Mr. Wallace testified that he allowed
the machine to be put into his store by
the agent of the company. He didn't
consider it gambling scheme, and had
never heard any complaints before.
Lawyer Mcclure, in his argument, told
the court that the case was not one OF
gambling any more than man could be
considered gambler if he should go to
gypsy to have his fortune told. He
claimed that man got all he could ex-
pect for his money. He had his fortune
told OF else he got cigar.
Lawyer Nichols argued for the govern
ment that case of gambling had been
proved, as a person who put nickel in
the slot of the machine was simply bet
ting that much that he would get cigar
for it. He said that the game was de-
moralizing to the young men of Everett
and should be stopped.
Judge Pettengill said he was not pre-
pared to decide the case today, but
would give his decision next Tuesday.
The friends of Wallace stated tnat il
he was convicted of garbling, warrant
would be sworn out against the mayor
for gambling, because he may be proven
guilty of having violated the law in
dropping in his nickel.
