Lord Dcnman and Ills Halter.

This odd story is told of the late Lord Denman. who. on being reminded by n west end hattor that n small account was ''overdue, visited the shop and gave the manager a legal reply to gie request for payment. "You state" he said solemnly as he stood over him, shaking his finger at him as though warning him to Do careful, "that this account is overdue. Remember that a bill of exchange or bill of acceptance may become overdue, but tradesman's account never. A gentleman pays when ke thinks he will or when he has the money; but. to show that no i'll feeling exists, will pay the account and take mother hat "-London Star.

BIackIIsted Miners Tried to Kiu the Wife
 of Workman.
 ASHLAND, Ky, Oct 20.-Tho danger point Is considered safely passed in Carter county. No. shots have been fired by strlk- CTS since yssterday. when tho sheriff gave chase, with a large posse, and completely routed them, capturing several culprits These men were not of tho mine workers order, but bIacklistsd fellows. This adds to the claim of the mine workers leader that the fight Is none of theirs.
 The most outrageous action of the trou- ble was had last night, when the homo of Mrs. John Walters was attacked, and some 30 shots were fired through the windows, narrowly missing her bed. The reason assigned for this Is that she told that her husband was returning at hen request to resume work at Straight Creek. Public feeling has been strongly aroused by this act. and a lynching would certain ly result were any of theso rascals known. The outlook now is favorable for an carly ending of tho trouble.

CRANK IN A BANK.
Threatened to XIII the Teller If He Was
 Not Given s1,ooo.

Not Given s1 ,ooo.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-A crank entered the Astor Place bank at Eighth street and Astor place, forced his way up to the paying teller's window and at the muzzle of n revolver demanded $1, 000 Fortu- nately letters and postal cards had an nounced his coming, and Detective Freel of the police central office was at hand. He grappled the madman and thus pre- vented him from carrying out his threat to kill H. Pomeroy Davidson. the paying teller. or any other officer in the bank who interfered with him.
 When the intruder entered, two ladies were at the window transacting some business. Their backs were toward him. The man paused only a moment when he got just behind the two ladies and then roughly grabbing each by the arm showed them violently aside, saying:
 Get out of my way. am tho agent of God. No man shall stand in my way"
 The ladies were startled to speechless- ness. One of them grew very pale, and uttering n piercing shriek fell fainting to the floor. Without looking to ascertain what damage he might have done he then turned to the paying teller's window and said:
 1T have come for tho money"
 That was all he said Laying down his draft and pointing a revolver at tho pay ing teller, he said In a loud voice: Come, be quick with the money. l am in 6 hurry
 The man was suddenly seized from be- hind by Detective Freel. A terrific struR gle ensued. The robber tried his best to shoot the detective, but failed. In only q few seconds assistance was at hand. and tho man was overpowercd and disarmed.
 The prisoner was taken to the Jefferson Market police court, where the story of his crazy attempt was disclosed. For the past four days tho cashier of the Astor Place bank has been receiving letters of a threatening nature from q man who sign cd himself Charles Freeman. Tho man was sent to Bellevue hospital.

MIRABEAU L. TOWNS. dog variety. Mir. Towns, who was a member of the recent constitutional convention of New York state, tells a remarkable tale about how he came to cultivate his $200, 900 muse. About ten years ago an old man named Michael Broone, a lineal descendant of the famous Brian Boru. who drove the Danes from Ireland, called at his office and promised him case if he would agree to sum it up in rhyme.
 To hunor the old man Mir. Towns complied with his request and summed up the case as follows:
 In July last. about the time
 That hungry mortals like to dine,
 Tho plaintiff, being Q married woman,
 went forth to see her husband Rowan.
 The frugal meal, yet smoking warm,
 She had in bucket on her arm.
 For 'tis the plaintiffs chief delight
 To quench her husbands appetite.
 Now, the defendent. Charles Bedell,
 Keeps near the park-oh. sad to tell
 A low resort of vice and sin.
 Where he dispcnses rum and gin.
 Yet, not content with deadly cups,
 He keeps two wild. ferocious pups
 To slay those who escape his lair
 With deadly hydrophobia air.
 When plaintiff came into the park.
 This Charles Bedell. just for a lark.
 As he says in his own defense,
 By way of excuse or pretense.
 Seeing she was but a woman,
 Set his puppies on Mrs. Rowan,
 And as he saw her race with fright,
 Trying to save herself by flight,
 He shouted, "Bili, before sho goes
 Just play upon her with the hose.
 Cursed. assaulted, all but drowned,
 Bleeding from tho puppies wounds
 Tho plaintiff. gentlemen of tho jury,
 At last escaped this blackguard's fury
 And comes in court to sce if you
 Will do as you'd have others do
 Tho jury gave his client a verdict oi e575. which pleased him and the old man 90 much that he utilized the muss in numerous other cases Broone brought him. Just before Broone died he wrote the lawyer a letter of thanks 'Yot have devoted your muse to my whimi and fancies," he said. "and your Peg asus has been at my disposal as | hobby horse" He then willed the law yer property said to be worth abou e2o0, 900.

When men with oyercoats on their arms push into seats in the center of a row at the theatre. she complained. they don't seem to know that the coats should be held so as to save the bopnets in front from being wrecked.
