ditions, when he had his logs nearly all
driven in at Mt. Morris, the boom
broke. and away went the logs oyer the
dam, and on down the river, The only
thing to be done was to hurry on down
to Rochester and make arrangements
for catching, storing and manufactur-
ing them there, which he did, In those
days there were many mills along near
the mouths OF the various small
streams. emptying into the river. and
in some instances where the owners
were not oyer-sorupulous, the fugitive
logs of these Allegheny bull-froggers
would be caught as they floated along,
by boat and grab hook, and hauled
into some convenient cove or bayou, to
be drawn to the mill and made into
lumber, If the owners initials were
stamped in the end of the log, about an
inch would be sawed off, and the iden-
tihcation of the log was very difficult.
One of these mill owners gave one of
the men seven dollars for certain log,
which he secured, and proceeded with
the necessary teams and help to haul 1t
to his mill. 1t was monstrous log, the
largest and best in Coles whole drive,
In the transportation of this log to the
mill a set Of trucks were smashed, lite
rally ruined, and in the scrape the mill
owner sustained serious injury, by the
fracture of his collar bone, which eff
fectually ''laid him out" and sent him
to his bed,
Cole was on the lookout, had tracked
his log to the MILL and made sure of its
identity. So, securing his logs at Ro-
chester, in company with another, he
sought the mill-owner's house, was ad-
mitted, found his man bolstered UP in
bed, and losing no time, made known
his business, and intimated that the
matter might be settled for fifteen dol

The Improvement in Prices Amounted to
Less Than Point in General List.
New York, Sept. Speculation
opened steady to firm, the result of
rather liberal purchases of stocks for
foreign account. The Improvement in
prices was unimportant, however,
amounting to less than a point in the
general list. Before the expiration of
the first hour the selling movement
was resumed with renewed vigor, and
the early gain was not only lost, but a
decline of u to 8 per cent was re-
corded
In the downward movement the
greatest losses were scored by Tennes-
see Coal and Iron, the grangers and
Southern Railway preferred. The feel
ing was pronouncedly bearish at this
time. Reports were afloat to effect
that shipments of gold on Saturdays
steamers would run into the millions
and as the bond syndicate contract
with the government expires shortly
the bears made the most of the rumors
The August statement of the bureau of
statistics showing a material falling
off in the export trade of the country
did not help matters any, and for a
time it really looked as though the re-
actionists had finally secured the upper
hand
After midday, however, the market
relapsed into dizziness, and even the re-
vival of rulnors of a new bond issue and
a further decline in the four per cents
of 1925 failed to start fresh liquidations.
1t was argue from this that the market
had been oversold, The correctness of
this was Forthcoming in the last hour
when 1t was announced that the Lehigh
Valley, Lehigh Navigation and Read
ing companies had agreed to advance
prices of coal ten to thirty cents per
ton. Immediately this was accepted
as foreshadowing a more important deal
between the anthracite companies, and
rush to cover followed. Jersey Cen

Her Purchase Was wrapped Up.

1 went into a Columbus avenue drug
store last night for a moments chat
with my friend the head clerk. The
conversation wandered into the genus
customer, and many funny yarn of
the wiles and ways of the buyer were
spun. But none Of them touched the
thing saw as / stood there.
A woman came in and asked for a
postage stamp, laying two coppers on
the counter gingerly as she did so. My
friend passed out a vermilion abomina-
ton and she said:
YES, thank you, but don't you wrap
up the goods you sell"
Yes, generally, but not postage
stamps as a rule
well, | wish you would put a paper
around this stamp. Stamps are horrid
to carry in ones pocket. They stick

And the long suffering young man
wrapped the postage stamp up in white
paper, tied 1t with a red string and
handed out the parcel to his customer
without a sinile.-Boston Record.

rWo roU1aFUL BURGIARS.

Caught After Breaking Into n Paint shop
YesterdayrWere to Have Gone Through
House at SaVin Rock.
Arthur Hotchk,ss, aged eight years,
md a son OF WiIbert Hotchklss, an en-
Ploye Of Sargent & Co., was brought be-
fore Captain Wrinn at headquarters
yesterday, charged with burglary. He,
with a companion named Richard Por-
ter, aged eleven, broke into the paint
shop OF c. b. Curtis at 116 Winchester
avenue about noon yesterday and upset
Everything in the shop, doing damage
to the extent of $50. The boys also filed
their pockets with small articles and the
'Hotchl1iss boy when arrested had a
pocket full of tacks.
Mr. Curtis caught the boys in the shop,
but young Porter got away. The boy
tells of a scheme on foot to go through
a vacant house at Savin Rock.
Several petty thefts. have taken place
in the vicinity of Edwards street lately,
in one case a gold watch having been
taken from Fred Paine. 1t is thought
the boys caught yesterday were con-
cerned. The Porter boy will probably
be arrested to-day.
Late yesterday afternoon Patrolman
Doolittle arrested Richard Porter, the
other boy implicated in the case. Hotch-
kiss and Porter were locked up and will
be arraigned in the city court this
morning on Connecticut reform school
for boys complaints. Late last even
ing they were released ON bonds.

Cleveiand's Federal Plan.
from Harper's Weekly.1

The Federal plan under which the
city of Cleveland is managed has been
tested four years. The legislative
branch consists of a Common Council
of twenty members, who are paid five
dollars each every time they sit in
weekly sessions. The nave been
stripped of patronage and of the ap-
pointing power, except that they have
the right to appoint a clerk and their
own pages. They cannot disburse a
cent of money or make a contract, and
yet it is their duty to determine what
money shall be spent by the executive
officers of the government, and to rat
ify all contracts planned by the execu-
tive officials. There is one of the great
beauties of Cleveland government
those who spend the money are not al
lowed to determine how much they
shall spend, and those who determine
the amounts to be spent are not al
lowed to spend them.
Those cities that have "a Common
Council consisting Of two houses favor
that plan, because it delays legislation
and gives time for discussion and medi-
tation. Others believe that it usually
produces slovenly results. The Cleve-
land plan provides the requisite time
by insisting that no bill can pass the
council until one week after it has been
read there. Then the mayor has ten
days in which to sign it, veto it, or
leave it alone.
The other persons, besides the coun-
ell, who are elected are the mayor, po-
lice judge, prosecuting attorney and
clerk of the police court. The plan is
called Federal because the mayor pre-
sides over a cabinet consisting of the
heads of the six principal executive
branches. He appoints for his cabinet
Director of Public Works, a Director
of Police. Director of Fire, and Direc-
tor of Accounts, Law, and Charities
and Correction. Unfortunately for
Cleveland, these appointments are
made with the advice and consent of
the council-a crack in the system
which the politicians can open as wide
as church door. If the mayor had
the full power of appointment of his
own cabinet, and had twenty-five thou
sand dollars, or forty thousand. year,
instead of six thousand, Cleveland
would offer still better example to
the other cities of the land than it does
now. The mayor and his cabinet have
seats in the Common Council, and the
mayor is empowered to take part in its
discussions and deliberations, but he
has no vote. He has one very valuable
prerogative-he may at any time zap
point competent disinterested persons
not exceeding three in number, not
more than two of whom shall be of the
same political faith, to examine with
out notice the affairs of any depart
ment, officer or employee, and the result
of all such examination snail be record
ed in his office and transmitted by him
to the council without delay"

BULL-FROGGING LOGS.
An Incident of Early Life on the Upper
and Lower Genesee.

An Incident of Early Life on the Upper
and Lower Genesee.
In the good old days, when pine logs
and pine lumber were the currency of
Allegheny, in fact almost legal tender,
Asahel N. Cole who afterwards be
came quite noted as politician and
journalist, and by many regarded as
the "father of the republican party"
gaged for ia season in the business of
numbering, cutting his logs on lum-
Der tract on the headwaters of White
Creek, in Belfast and Friendship.
His method was to haul the logs to
the bank of the river on sleds, and in
the spring, when the streams were
swollen, to roll them into the river and
''bulI-frogH them down to Mt Morris,
where a boom was constructed to catch
and detain them, to be hauled into the
mills and made into lumber. The bus
mess of chasing logs in those days was
usually called "bull-frogging, not a
very polite or refined term, but quite
suggestive, as those who engaged in it
were required to be in and out of the
water like a frog, as the logs when
they lodged, or were left by the reced-
ing waters, had to be rolled into the
deep water and sent floating on down.
A party usually consisted Of six men.
with boat and a yoke of oxen, to haul
in the logs left out in the field, as many
were.

Dennis Klein, an employee of the New

resides i'm Fair Haven, fell from a Nor
ris Cove car on Church street, near
Elm, yesterday afternoon and struck
the rail of an incoming car with his

was taken to DR.. G. P. Lindsley's office,
where his injuries were dressed. They

their deeds for which the government Is
not responsible. The Kurds, troops, 20

In conclusion Mr.. Gladstone said: we

We must interpose to demand no more

as much as is necessary and determine
that this is to be accomplished whether
it is met with resistance or not" Uoul
