TWISTED TWISTS.

FROM OUR SPECIAL CONTRIBU TOR.
In the basement of the city hall
is the City Bastile with its usual
complement Of vags, DRINKS and
buns.
Up stairs the offices are crowded
with genteel gentlemen, all slick
and clean, we'll Numbered and well
groomed.
Down stairs, in the cellar, the
cages are filled with rough, coarse
characters, with visages bloated,
hair unkempt,persons filthy, unbe-
levers in the "fatherhood of God
and the brotherhood of man."
Up stairs the "official class" the
luxurious growth of civilization !;
down stairs the criminal class"
the cancerous offshoot Of Christian
progress, untempered by the moral
law.
Human nature in all its phases
is thoroughly depicted by the occu-
pants of the City's Palace on the
old Spanish military square.
Those upstairs have gained the
good will and respect of their fell
low men; those downstairs have
lost the respect OF themselves as
we'll as their bathhouse.
Prudence, economy and industry
are the personal characteristics Of
the city's office holders; eXtrava-
gance and idleness have peopled
the big cellar of the city's hall Ct
justice, with its miserable occu-
pants.
In all advanced communities
crime is treated as a disease, and
the tendency is to cure rather than
to harshly punish criminals.
In our Texas metropolis the
same system should obtain; for
humanity's sake, don't confine
petty offenders in underground
cells, without sunshine, fresh air
or cleanliness.
The police authorities do the
best they can; the present admin
istration should not be censured
for the city prison-this drunkard's
resting peace.
This administration however
can, and ought to at once do some
thing to remove this miasmatic,
malaria breeding institution from
the handsome building in the city.
The old market house on Market
street at small expense can be con-
verted into a humanitarian mod
ern Jail; with plenty of room for
the entire police department, re-
corder's court, etc.
Then turn the lower floor Of the
City Hall into a public library to
be donated by some philanthropic
individual who has made his
millions in the old Alamo City.

THB GOLD BRICK MIN.
ONE OF TEEN ARRESTED NEAR RICHMOND
Va, SATURDAY,
After Successfully Working Rich Gloucester
Man-tslisyed 10 ba the Same Persons
Who Swndled BOnar

A telegram was received yesterday
by Chief of Police McNichol. from the
Chief of Police of Richmond, Va, stat
ing that man named Frank Smith
was under arrest, and asking that Rob
ert Bonar come to identify him. Bonar
Is the Ohio County farmer who recently
paid $4,000 in hard cash for two copper
bricks, under the impression that they
were gold. Mr.. Bonar will leave for
Richmond this morning.
The story OF the methods Of the gold
brick swindlers did not leak out at the
time Mr.. Bonar was victimized, on &C
count Of the reticence OF all the parties
who had any knowledge Of the trans
action. But for fortunate combina-
tiOn Of circumstances which resulted in
the arrest OF one Of the sharpers, the
details of their scheme would probably
not now be MADE public.
The scheme OF the potters is very in
genius, and was probably the same In
the Richmond case as was practiced
upon Mr. Bonar. The Virginia victim
was \. w. Withers, Of Gloucester coun-
ty, a prominent and wealthy citizen.
Some time ago, stranger called upon
him, and told an interesting story. He
claimed 10 be an Arizona miner, giving
the name Of John Williams. He came
to Virginia in quest of Albert Withers,
an uncle, who had taken him 10 the
West when seven years of age, and
cared for him till ne grew to manhood.
The relative then left Arizona, and
came back 10 Virginia. Then followed
a romantic episode. Williams, while out
hunting, found TWO Indians In the
woods, ones dead, the other badly
wounded. The living Indian was nursed
Oack TO life By Williams, and 10 show his
gratitude the redskln took Williams TO
a rich gold vein. From this vein twelve
bars Of the precious metal were abstract
ed, Williams receiving 80 his share eight
bricks, worth about 500, 600. He then
came East with his wealth 10 hunt
his uncle and repay his kindness.
De had visited several cities, and ia
each place was informed that an Alfred
Withers lived near Norfolk. AT that
city be was directed to Gloucester, and
there found Mr.. Withers, who became
his victim.
Williams untolded his plans for the
development OF the niue, and induced
Withers to go TO Richmond to assist in
raising funds for that purpose. Will
liams told his victim that he had
brought the Indian East with
hi n for the purpose of disposing
OF his gold. OF course Withers
as captivated by the pretty stories

the hills OF Arizona. Williams repre-

| Last Saturday the High school baseball
team took drive to Barre and played the
Goddard Seminary nine resulting In defeat
for the High school by score OF IS to IL.
The first part of the game was very un-

which saved the day TOR them.
After the second inning only eight scores
were made by both mines.
The features OF the game were fine run

Manney for the visiting team, the latter
making neat double play with Bean, w no
played an excellent game at first; timely
3-base hit by Manney, the fine back stop
work OF Mcintosh; and for the home
team excellent pitching OF Ralph, the first
base play Of Williams and the heavy bat
ting OF Ralph, williams and Baxter.
A return game will be played here in
short time.
The W. r. II. s. team was entertained at
the Seminary and the boys were very
much pleased with their treatment, both

industry and prosperity. The town en-
braces five villages, four OF which lie in
the valleys OF the east and west branches OF
White river. 1t possesses soil OF rare fer
tility and productiveness, pure water in
