MADE THE SNOW BLACK.
Millions of Minute Insects Suddenly
Appeared In New York State.

From the New York Herald.
A communication dated from the Sul1i-
van County Club, Wurtsboro, N. Y, re-
ceived at the Herald office recently, stated
that at o'clock on Wednesday, January
10, snow began to fall, continuing until
there was a depth of twelve inches on the
ground. There was no mud. About /
o'clock 1t was observed that the snow
about the club house looked black on top,
and. on examination. 1t proved to be COW
cred with millions of minute insects, black
in color and lively as fleas.
At first it was suggested by some of the
humorous club members that these leap
ing specks were grip microbes and pneu-
n,Cnia germs holding a levee, but 1t was
finally decided to catch some of the Jump
ing mites and mail them in an envelope to
the Herald. A warning accompanied them
in regard to opening the envelope, as 1t
was suspected from the Jumping propensi-
ties they displayed that they were a new
species of flea.
But they were quite dead when they ar
rived here, and, to the naked eye, looked
like pinch of black powder. They were
foTmleSS and had no more substance, ap-
parently, than SO much powdered charcoal
coal dust
This insect" said Prof Beutenmuller
of the American Museum, comes under
the head of ThySanura, this special insect
being of the Poduridae Burmeister family
They are closely related to the sugar run
ners and springtails. The springtails are
tho typical Thysanura. The anal bristles
are united and bent beneath the body,
forming the spring by which they leap to
prOdigious heights for such minute things
These curious little creatures occur
everywhere except in dry places. They
take up their abode under stones and hide
beneath mushrooms and in damp, grassy
spots. Often they leap together in the air,
looking like a shower of sand. They are
very prolific, 1,360 eggs having been found
in a single one. The embryo develops in
twelve days, and they moult often at pc
RODS of fourteen days"
Prof. Beutenmuller told me that all of
the insect showers reported from different
places are a result of the Matching out of
numbers of these insects. In the Wurts-
boro case, he said, they had probably come
from some nearby stable or damp place.

"Jack the sIasher" on broadway.

Jack the Slasher' has made his appear
ance in Broadway, New York, and ladies
who wear pretty coats have to keep a
sharp lookout for him. He does his work
when the crowds are greatest, and when
women are not liable to notice a slight
touch on their elbows or trifling pull on
the back Of their wraps. His favorite hour
is when the matinees let out their crowds
in the great thoroughfare on Saturday
afternoons and the sidewalk is jammed
from the shop windows to the curb. The
probabilities Of detection are then COMPARE
lively small, and he picks out his victim
and operates. He Is skillful, and the dam
age that he has done has never been dis
covered until some time after 1t was COM
mitted, and he has evaded the police.

Notwithstanding the withdrawal NJ tho
first brigade and the reports that the

About o'clock in the afternoon two

police dashed into the crowd. but the
MOP appeared to be made up Of stubborn
material Capt. kitzer gave the word fire
and the police shot over the heads of the

The portion in reference to secret So
cieties was as follows:
'Now, with regard to entering societies,
extreme care should be taken not to be
ensnared by error. And we wish to be
understood as referring in a special man
ner to the working classes, who assuradly
have the right ito unite in associations for
the promotion of their interests, a right
acknowledged by tho church and unop-
posed by nature. But 1T Is very import
ant to take heed with whom they are to
associate, else, while seeking aids for the
improvement of their condition, they may
be imperiling far weightier interests. The
most effectual precaution against this peril
is to determine with themselves at no time
in any manner, to be parties to the vio-
lation Of justice Any society, therefore,
which is ruled by, and servlely obeys
persons who are not steadfast for the right
and friendly to religion, is capable of be-
ing extremely prejudicial to the interests,
as well Of individuals as of the community;
beneficial 1T cannot be. Let this conclu-
sion, therefore, remain frm-to shun, not
only those associations which have been
openly condemned by the judgment of the
church, but those also which, in the opin-
ion of intelligent men, and especially Of
the bishops, are regarded as suspicious and
dangerous.
NAY, rather, unless forced by necessity
to do otherwise, Catholics ought to prefer
to associate with Catholics, a course which
will be very conducive to the safeguarding
of their faith. AS presidents of societies
thus formed among themselves, 1t would be

SHERIFF READ THE RIOT ACT.

An Exciting Time In MilIvilie, n. j.,
Caused by Conflict between the Mayor
aud the street Railway.
Associated Press DispsJ:n Nv 9pe;IaI Wires.
MILLvILE, N. j., June 5.-For tho
first time in the history of the city the
citizens had the riot act read to them
this morning by Sheriff Shinn.
The trouble arose over dispute be-
tween the Millville Traction Co. and tho
city. A permit was granted by the City
Council at its last meeting, allowing
frame house to be moved. In order to
move the building it was necessary to
cut the wires of the traction company.
When Contractor Barnes and his men
attempted to move the house they were
confronted by gang of traction en-
ployes.
The traction people began to move
the chains which had been placed on
the tracks by the contractor, pursuantto
moving the building. AT this juncture
Mayor Payne appeared and told the
traction foreman that he would place
the Iirst man in Jail who laid hand on
tho chains. Mayor Payne then swore in
large posse of special officers, and
called out the entire police force, and
they were kept on guard all night to
prevent the chains from being removed.
Early this morning Sheriff Shinn ar
rived in the city with an order from the
court, empowering him to read the riot
act 1t was listened to in sullen silence.
When he had finished Mayor Payne
jumped upon box and told the people
they did not have to disperse inside Of
one hour, and for them to hold their
ground. His remarks were greeted
! with cheers.
The contractor has gained point,
having the house directly across the
tracks of the company and against the
live wire, effectually blocking travel.
The street is crowded with people, and
while the excitement is intense there
has been no disorder.

We're Disappointed la Sot Being Re-
funded the Amount of Their Car Fare

In municipal court yesterday morning

Henry George of Chesapeake City,
Nd, testified that he came to Whining
ton one day last week and went to
Wiels store to purchase pair of panta.
looms. He saw pair that he liked and
paid S1.75 for them. After the deal for
the trousers had been consummated
George asked for the return OF the
amount of his fare to Kirkwood, the
nearest station to his residence. He said
that he understood from an advertise
ment he had read that this would be
done. The salesman from whom George
obtained the pantaioons refused to re-
fund the car fare, anu told George that
they could not do so on such small
purchase. George left the store appar-
emily satisfied with his purchase. His
fare amounted to 30 cents, and if 1t had
been returned to him the pantaloons
would have cost him but 95 cents.
John NJ. Ward of Glasgow testified
that he came to Wilmington on Satur.
day, May 18th, for the purpose of max
ing some purchases. He had been at
tracted by the advertisements of Wiol

supposed. He, too, expected to have
| his car fare returned, but like the fore.
going witness was disappointed. The
amount of his fare was 70 cents. lie
expostulatcd with the salesman, telling
| him that he came to the store with the
intention of getting his fare paid, &C
cordiug to his Interpretation OF the
advertisements. But he was disap-
pointed and had to foot the bill fur
travelling expenses himself.

clothing manufacturer and wholesale
dealer at Nos. 800 and 81 Market
street, Philadelphia. lie said that he
was trying to get rid of bis clothing

acted as an agent for him in tho same
manner in Connecticut, but his memory
would not serve him promptly, and he
could not recall the name of the place
to which the goods had been shipped
He said that Wicl was acting as al
agent and that he was to get seven pei
cent Of the cash receipts from sales anc
