An attempt TO impose upon foreign ere
dulity was frustrated cleyerly by sou Of
Gaul whose taste for joking led him to try
TO bamboozle eabby into attempting it on
with him. He demanded In exceedingly
broken English to be driven to certain
place, the fare to which was exactly l shil
ling. 1t may be remarked that he really
could speak English as well as he could
his mother tongue. On arriving at his DIES
tination he asked, still in Il struggling
fashion;
SOW mooch ave 1 TO pay'"
"Five shillings," promptly responded tn,

And 'ow mooch is 3 schillingy" queriet
the traveller, taking out three half crowns
and laying them across his palm.
Them threes right" said cabby, point
ing to the coins.
"Oh," said the Frenchman. Then drop
ping his assumed imperfect acquaintanc
with the vernacular, well, here's a bo
for you" he said and departed, leaving hi
erstwhile Jehu standing with a perpleNe,
expression on his face, which took som

EXTENT OF THE STORM.
Wind. Snow and Rain Ragged Yester-
day throughout the Country.

A fierce snow storm began at Philsdel-
phia shortly before noon yesterday, and
snow continued falling far into the night.
1t was OF the soft variety. and meite,l as
soon as it touched the earth.
In the mountain regions. however the
atmosphere was cold enough to prevent
the snow from melting and in some places
it was several inches deep. Reports from
all over Pennsylvania indicate the same
condition of affairs.
In Delaware the storm was severe. and
reports of further damage to the fruit cron
nay be looked for in the near future. Fur-
ther south the snow was mixed with sleet
and rain.
Telegraph and telephone circuits were
badly demoralized, and much delay to bust
ness was experienced.
In the Lehigh valley the snow was ac-
companied by high wind. At Bath Pa a
partially constructed frame building was
blown down, instantly killing the contrac-
tor. Peter F. Snyder, and injuring several
workmen.
The snow at Bethlehem, Pa, last night
was two inches deep on the level, and
showed no signs of melting. Reports from
the slate regions in the mountains saw the
storm is fierce. There is more than enough
snow for sleighing, and-it is certain that
the crops are damaged considerably.
A heavy snow storm ragged at West Ches-
ter since 10 O'Clock yesterday morning and
the fall of snow is equal If not greater.
than any during the winter. In some cases
the railroad trains ind IL difficult TO ad-
here to schedule time, and traffic on the
electric roads is greatly impeded Sleighs
are running, and fears are entertained for
the fruit crop.
Strong easterly gales are prevailing at
Lewes, Del, and danger to shipping is
feared on the coast in the vicinity of the
Delaware capes.
An unusual taste of winter for April de-
veloped in Maryland yesterday, when snow
and sleet began to fall. Throughout the
day the storm continued, and travel was
greatly interfered with.
Six inches of snow fell at Reading Pa,
yesterday afternoon and evening and such
decided fall in the temperature accom-
panies the storm that farmers are certain
that the fruit buds will be destroyed in
this section.
A heavy snow storm has been raging in
Wisconsin since Sunday night
Dispatches from many points northwest
and west of Chicago state that a heavy
snow storm, almost uneXampled for the
season, has prevailed during the past two
days. At Ashland. Wis, two feet of snow
has fallen. At Palmyra, ILL.,, the worst rain
and sleet storm of the year, accompanied
by high wind, was experienced A terrific
snow storm is reported from the Gogebic
region.
In Coffey county. Kan, a cyclone did
great damage to houses and crops last

answer in the city circuit court at Balti-
more to the application Of James F. Failey,
general receiver of the Order of the Iron
Hall, to have the funds collected, amount
ing to 500, ,OOO turned over to the general
receiver.
Messrs. Wiener and France are the Mary
land receivers, and resist the attempt to
have the fund diverted from the four thou
sand Maryland certificate holders and plac-
ed in the common fund.
1t is claimed, in answer, that the order
of the court in appointing Failey is only
effective in Indiana. Failey was appointed
receiver August 3d. 1892, in the superior
court for Marion county, Indiana. The
Marylanders do not want the money sent
out of the state, but claim that it should
be distributed among them here. They
claim, besides, that the fund cannot be sent
out of the state until the claims of attach
ing creditors are adjudcated. The right Of
the Indiana court to control the Maryland
fund is denied and it is asked that the pc
tition be dismissed.
The matter is set for hearing June 4. The
petition was filed in the city circuit court
by Cowen & Cross, attorneys. and the
local receivers were given sixty days in
which to file the answer
