reached and backed upon the Aqueduct
bridge. Then the Georgetown policemen
who had been waiting in the wings came
forth and played their parts, arresting the
two Jackson boys.
ffcers Passan and Trussell brought the
Jacksons to the station. They were charged
with carrying concealed weapons. Johnson
was not taken in. as he remained within
the Virginia jurisdiction. In addition to

an offender.
The noise made by the mob came in VOL

tention on this side.

reporting the difficulty between the Ford

Recovery of Jno. Ockershausen,s
Horse and Hugh Waters Buggy.
Saturday night somebody took horse
and wagon belonging to John Ockers-
harsen and drove away with it from the
Center market. AS the person who drove
off thought the wagon was too heavy for a
country road, stop was made, and Mr..
Hugh Waters buggy and harness were
taken. The police were notified. and a re-
ward of SIS for the recovery of the buggy
and harness was offered
Yesterday the police received the infor-
nation that the team had been abandoned
in swamp about one mile from Landover.
Detective Carter went out there in the
afternoon and recovered the horse from
Mr.. Tucker. in whose corn field the animal
was found. The buggy and harness were
found at the road house of Magruder &
Lewis, but the proprietors of the place re-
fused to give them up without being given
the reward:

MINOR bu1lulnx Make u Protest.
A large number of property holders in
the neighborhood of 18th and Madison
streets appeared before the Commissioners
this afternoon and entered vigorous pro-
test against the temporary use of the old
Miner building, that has been occupied as
the Business High School, for the pupils
Of the Stevens School, which building is
now being repaired. 1t was urged that the
presence of colored school in that vicin-
ity would greatly depreciate property and be
detrimental to business interests. Among
these present who protested were T. Frank

SNUFF TAKING is COMMON.
Five Factories in One City Are Kept
busy Making the Stun.
From the St. Louis Republic.

From the st. Louis Republic.
1t is supposed by most folks that very
few people in this age have any use for
snuff. But the fact that at least FIVE
snuff factories in this city are kept busy
providing this old-fashioned delicacy for
the public's nose is a contradiction of the
accepted belief.
Not much of it is consumed by the ladies
and gentlemen of ST. Louis, though about
100 pounds a day are used by the women
outcasts of this city. Tailors and shoemak-
ers, too. those of foreign birth, are very
good customers for this article But the
greater part of the snuff made in ST. Louis
goes to the north and northwest. The
woman puts a spoonful of it in her mouth
at time leaving it there to dissolve while
the tailor, shoemaker and others vary the
monotony Of their employment and derive
much enjoyment from shifting a lot of it,
The old English or American lady must
have the fine powdered snuff that is deli
! cately perfumed with oil of roses; and this
she applies daintily to her nose.
Some women are in such a hurry to use
their snuff that they cant wait until they
leave the store, but stepping to one side
slyly slip some into the mouth or rub it
into the nose. Many snuff buyers pretend
that they are getting II for some one else
but the man who sells it says that he
knows pretty well by the appearance of a
person whether or not she uses it,

Altogether, the train represented 1873

Nevertheless, the loose ore was not by
any means what is technically known as
low grade ore, for the assayer's appraisal

The record for the greatest single ship

has ever been made in this or any country.
There was a million of gold in ordinary

look after the treasure, but If any bold
agent had attempted to take a sack or two
of the precious metal from the cars that
stood on the side track with their doors
wide open, he would have discovered that
there were three men in each car, each
