CAUGHT BY THE CAMERA.

New Kind of Detective Work Used in
Watching Railway Trainmen.
A large number of conductors and train
men have recently been discharged from
the New York Central and Rome, Water
town and Ogdensburg railroads, more
particularly the latter. This is the result
of Investigations as to the habits of the
conductors and trainmen. The we'll
known "spotter" has been employed, but,
in addition, another system has been tried,
with some undisputable results-namely,
the use of the camera.
A case has just occurred where the
camera has caused the discharge of two
trainmen on the Rome, WATERFOWL and
Ogdensburg road. Drinking while on duty
is a violation of the rules Of the company
These two men were suspected of breaking
this rule, SO a ''spotter" was detailed to
watch them. When the train on which
they worked reached WATERFOWL and
stopped for few moments the first thing
they did was to step into nearby saloon.
The spotter and the camera did the rest.
A few days afterward the two men were
requested to call upon Superintendent E..
g. Russell of Watertown, where they were
questioned about their habits. They
claimed they had never violated the rule
in question, whereupon they were shown
the pictures taken while in the act.-Roch-
ester special New York Times.

That settled the matter for the time
being at least, and everybody was invited
to vacate the room. Mr.. Menzies picked
up his hat, and on turning to leave the
chamber politely thanked the commission
for the attention it had given him. The
board in few moments adjourned until
Monday evening next.
Mr.. Menzies stated after the meeting
that he would take the matter into court
to-day and fight it out to the bitter end.
In order that his claim might not be open
to technical objections he yesterday re-
signed his position as Freebooter, and as a
private citizen was reappointed as Police
Commissioner by Governor Budd. This
commission bears date of yesterday.
Two sergeants rendered their resigna-
tons, TO take effect on January 81, and

They were Sergeants George w. Harmon
and Gideon Thompson. Harmon was born
in Baltimore in 1881, was appointed to the
force on April 9, 1870, and sergeant on De-
cember q, 1878. Thompson was born in
New York State on November 6, 1881, APP

was pointed out to the Commissioners. The
bank owns several tracts of orange land IN
the Riverside district. Fine yields are ex-
pected, and since the failure of the Florida
crop the directors are of the opinion that
they viii clear at least $4,000 on the sale OF
the oranges. The directors further reported
to the Commissioners that they had done
nothing looking toward settlement OF the
differences between the Peoples Home
Savings Bank and the Pacific Bank. The
savings bank claims the Pacific Bank build
ing, and it was decided to take some steps
toward securing it.

by the bank turn out as the directors ex-

from them to pay all the running expenses
OF the bank and leave surplus fund to be

Permit us to lay before you copy OF a resolution
unanimously adopted at mass-meeting o.
depositors of the Peoples Home Savings BanR
on January 10, 1895. We also inclose the for
NAL offer OF the California Safe Deposit anC

take on these subjects, and as members OF oul
committee have discussed the subject-mattel
with you during the past two weeks we hope
you will be able to promptly give us your for
NAL answer to the following questions:
l. What action win you take regarding the
$4,000 taken by Sheehan and Watt for their serv
ices during the past six months?
2 viii you issue the order limiting expenses
(rents and all attorneys fees inclusive) to $3.50
per month, such an order to be effective from
the moment the board of directors resumed
control?
8. In case Sheehan and Watt desire to re-
main in control at that figure, will you require
them to give ample bonds to cover any possible
loss by mismanagement?
4. Will you supervise the adjustment OF the
differences between the Pacific and the PEG
pies banks, and if not inconsistent with YOU
duties as Commissioners, permit our repre-
sentative Mr.. j. Dalzen Brown of the trus
company, to have full knowledge of the de
tails of such settlement prior to the consum
nation thereof?
5. What has been or can be done regarding
Pacific Bank building rents?
In case you think you have no jurisdiction
covering the services of an attorney, we will
state that Messrs Gunnison, Booth & Bart
nett, representing the depositors who have
turned over their books to the trust company
will gratuitiously give their services in al
matters connected with the winding up of the
affairs of the bank to whatsoever may manage
the same.

mittee on Saturday evening next, we hope
your honorable board will give us the desired
information prior thereto,

THE WIRES WERE DOWN.
How a Telegraph Message Happened
to Go Wrong.
1t Was the COmpany's Fanlt, and The
Sender Was Awarded SubStan.
tial Damages.

In the United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals yesterday decision was rendered
which upholds in the main the judgment
of the Circuit Court in the suit of the Pa
cifc Postal Telegraph Cable Company
against L. Fleishner & Co., merchants
doing business in Portland, Or.
In the lower court the firm sued the tele-
graph company to recover $3704, which
sum they claimed represented the amount
they had lost through the neglect of the
company to properly deliver message.
1t appears that in June, 1898, the firm OF
II. & r. Grunbaum of Seattle was indebted
to Fleishner & Co., and the latter firm
learned that the Seattle house was in finan-
cial distress. They Immediately sent a
telegram by the Postal Telegraph Com
pany to their attorney in Seattle to at
once attach Grunbaum's place and look
after the senders interest. The telegraph
company was paid to repeat this message
in order that no mistak Ike might occur, and
the Portland firm rested easy in the belief
that they had taken every precaution to
protect themselves against loss.
On this particular day, though, the tele-
graph company's wires were down, and
the dispatch did not reach its destination
until the following day. AS result the
Seattle firm was attached by others, and
there was nothing left for Fleishner 81 Co.
to attach. The suit followed, and the Cir
cult Court held that after the telegraph
company had been informed of the i'm
portance of the dispatch it should have In
formed the sender that the lines were not
in working order. 1t was shown in the
evidence that the Western Union Com
