A CURIOUS AFFAIR,
VIM. SnOwden Had n Danxerou.
SlungshOt.

VIM. SnOwden Had a Danxerous
Slungshot.
railroad men in charge Of freight train
on the Baltimore and Potomac road had a
singular experience on the road near Ben
ming Saturday night and for a time they
were of the opinion that train robbers had
made an attack. Conductor Joseph Will
Jams was in charge of the train, and he was
surprised when he saw young colored
man climbing over the tender The train
had been cut in three places, and the train
men were considerably disturbed over the
condition of affairs.
When the engine was brought to a stop
the young colored man was turned over to
Special Officer Hansborough, who is in the
employ OF the railroad company. William
Snowden was the name given by the pris-
oner and the officers of the road took from
him dangerous slungshot made of a large
stone tied in a handkerchief From there
ne was taken to the police station and
locked up.
In the meantime the railroad man manip-
ulated the danger signals and succeeded in
preventing the passenger train from crash
ing into the freight cars that had been cut
loose from the train in the way stated.
Inc passenger train engineer had seen the
signals In time, and no trouble other than
delay OF ten minutes was caused.
Ihis morning the young ealoRed prisoner
aPPeaieu Ia JuuSe hlmbalyS COURT on a
charge OF vagrancy and Suspicion, and he
entered plea of not guilty. ~!
The court heard the eyidenceio of the spe-
ciai officer and the railroad conductor, who
told OF how the cars hadbbeen uncoupled
and the delay caused. Conductor Williams
told OF the scene on the train when Snow
den climbed over the tender, armed with
the slungshot. -, IT
When they had finished theirr statements
Judge kimball called the defendant to the
stand, and while he admitted that he was
on the car, he denied the circumstances as
stated by the witnesses. " ii
What were you doing on the train?" the
judge asked him. =, 81

eyes, sir"
Twice
Have you not been in jail three times7'
Il know of twice." answered the prisoner,
but don't remember the third time"
where did you get the handkerchief to
use in the slungshot?"
II did not have the slungshot" he an
swered, "and l seldom have a handkerchief
except on Sundays"
Judge Kimball said he thought that there
should be a charge of concealed weapons
preferred against the prisoner. On the
charge of vagrancy and suspicion a SEN
tence of sixty days was imposed.

The general opinion Of delegates from
various parts Of the country seemed to be
in favor of equitable police regulation of
saloons. Favoritism on the part of local
authorities was the great bane of the bust
ness, according to one visitor. The police
would keep an eye on saloons whose own
ers were not in political personal SYM
pathy with them, and wink at violations
by those who were. Consequently, there
was no fair treatment, and the saloon

New York Politics and Reform.
The Chicago and New York delegates
were most interested in the Sunday clos
ing movement which is threatened in the
windy city. and already in force in Goth
am, and talked about it freely.
Mr.. e. F. Kearns of New York was asked
by Star reporter what the effect of Police
Commissioner Roosevslt's reform crusade
would be politically.
Mr.. Roosevelt's course has seriously af-
fected eIe cry business interest in New York
city, and not alone the liquor trade" said
Mr.. Kearns. 1T has affected the rental of
real estate on the main thoroughfares, and
in other ways injured the pockets of the
property holders. I have voted the repub-
lcan and democratic tickets, and am not a
Iarty man in any sense. but believe the
effect of Roosevelt and reform will be to
make the city, county and state of New
York go democratic at the coming cleo
tiOn."

The delegates are a unit in opposition to
the proposed increase of the beer tax a

to pay the additional sum because the
brewers would Immediately raise the price.
1t would be impossible for them to raise
the price of beer per glass or to serve
smaller glasses to customers, hence they
are determined to use all means to prevent
such an increase in the tax.

Some time between this and July we shall

There we will consult with several of my
former army comrades who have lately
been in lower Egypt and learn from them
some additional facts as to the military
situation in and about the Sudan. We shall
prepare a good part of the weapons, mer-
chaudise, utensils and a thousand and one
matters in the Sudan. Some time in Sep

thence to Cairo, where we mean co fit out
our expedition up the Nile. 1 have been

A $40 NEST.
A Robin PurIoins Bill to Help Keep
It's Young Warm.


A $40 bill which had mysteriously dis
appeared was recovered by Assistant Coin
Teller Phil Turpin of the subtreasury in
a peculiar manner. He has beautiful
farm out on Cliff creek, near the Little
Miami river In that section birds fairly
abound. One evening about the beginning
of May Mr.. Turpin was getting ready to
attend soiree at his next neighbours. The
weather was unusually warm, and he left
the windows of his room open.
Mr.. Turpin had taken his money, among
which was SO bill, and laid it on CEN
ter table intending to put it in pocket
of his other trousers. The room is at the
corner of the house and has windows on
both sides.
He stationed himself at one of the win
dOws and commenced 70 shave. The birds
were singing outside and flying about the
house and through the open windows, joy
full, no doubt, at the advent of spring,
while others were busy in trees building
nests. After he had arranged his necktie
to give the best effect he went to the CEN
ter table and began picking up his money,
but was not little surprised to find a SO
bill missing. He thought that the wind
might have blown it on the floor, and he
began looking there for it.
After long time spent in vain he gave
up the search there. He then went out
into the yard and began hunting among
the flowers and grass for it, thinking that
it might have been blown through the open
window, but he had to go to that soiree
minus $40 note.
Day before yesterday the severe wind
storms blew robins nest out Of tree
near the front porch. Mr.. Turpin picked
the nest up and was about to cast it away
when he noticed what seemed to be piece
of paper of peculiar color. He examined it
and found it TO be currency of some de-
nomination, but it was not until he had
carefully torn the nest apart that he dis
covered it to be a SO bill 1t was appar-
emily the one he had lost couple of weeks
ago, a bird having flown into the room
and snatched up the money The bill was
In pretty bad condition, but he redeemed
1t at the treasury.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Speaking of Sardines.
