PUNCHED THREE TIMES.
Peter Foley Once and His Ticket
Twice.

Twice.
Peter Foley visited the city record
er's office yesterday with tale of woe
and lacerated and confused counte-
nance. 1t all came about on account of
somebody's deficient education in the
science of mathematics and an inability
to count consecutively and straight.
Anyway, he wanted a warrant for the
arrest of Mrs. Leslie, the proprietress
OF al eating house on North Center
street, and a waiter by the name of
George Gould, who also acts IN the
capacity of bouDcer. He accused them
OF combined and successful assault
upon him. His face was deemed by
the recorder to be satisfactory receipt
for the injuries complained of and the
warrant was issued.
From the testimony it appeared that
Foley was regular patron Of the eat
ing emporium: In order to do away
with the pernicious custom of paying
cash at the termination OF each meal
and also to eliminate the perplexing
practice of bookkeeping from the man
agement eff the eating house, a system
of meal tickets had been adopted.
These tickets are held in high esteem
by unmarried gentlemen OF Phoenix
and most other towns on the Pacific
coast where the restaurant business Is
carried to extremes. A western habit
OF brevity OF expression has led to their
denominations "pie cards." One OF
these pie cards had been issued to Mr..
Foley.
Yesterday at noon he was admitted
ha nd
hang his hat up, and take a seat at a
table. He ate with moderation but
satisfaction and when he had finished his
meal he handed his pie card to the
proprietress for inspection and altera-
ton. The pie card is adorned with a
row of figures running along its edge.
| Each figure is supposed to be repre-
sentative of the price Of meal. In
order to prevent the card from becom-
ing fatigued it is the custom of the per.
son issuing it to punch out or otherwise
annihilate one of these figures. In the
course of time the figures are all re-
moved and then the cards mission on
earth is ended and the holder is thrown
upon his own resources.
This accurate and minute descrip-
ton Of the pie card is not
in itself of thrilling interest or
even necessary to relation of Mr..
Foley's painful adventure, and it is
entered into only for the purpose OF
fully describing the solicitude with
which he regarded the pie card in the
hands of Mrs. Leslie. One figure was
punched out. Mr.. Foley says he heard
the punch click twice. Here was a
mathematical difference OF opinion
which soon brought on improper
language and demonstrative conduct.
Foley says Mrs. Leslie led the attack
and that the reserves were brought ZIP
by Gould. He was ruoted and driven
out of the eating house as uncel emon-
iously as if he were not under the sacred
protection Of the pie card. However SC

In Illinois there was an election in the
18th Congressional district to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Edward Re-
mann last summer. The contest was of in
terest because the question of free silver
was presented squarely in the views of the
opposing candidates. The election of Had
ley, the Republican candidate, is distinctly
a triumph for sound money. 1t places the
Republicans right on that issue, while the
Democrats will be anxious to get away
from their own record. Bryan, Bland and
Gov. Stone of Missouri were brought into
the canvass to the exclusion of sound
money Democrats, and appealed to Popu-
lists and silver advocates to make the ma
jorities so emphatic as to prove the strength
of silver. The result shows that in spite
of q nominal Democratic majority of three
thousand, Lane, the Democratic candidate,
failed to carry a single county in the dis
trict, and is defeated by three thousand.

The wedding of Miss Consuelo Wander
bilt, daughter of W. X. Vanderbuilt, and
the Duke of Marlboro was celebrated at
noon on Wednesday in st Thomas's church,
New York. No similar event has ever
called together so many of the charmed
inner circle of New York society. The
floral decorations of the church were the
most lavish ever seen in the city. The full
New York symphony orchestra and the
full choir of the church furnished the
music. The bridal gown was "a poem in
cream satin, tulle, and point lace" with
train five yards long. The cost of this big
show is estimated at 100000, with the
brides trosseau, $4,000, floral decorations
at church and house S25, 600, and wedding
presents S350,0OO among the items. The
brides dowry is $l0,000,000. But there
is no more happiness in prospect than if
two ordinary young folk had got married
and settled down to earn their living.
