A WANDERING SOLDIER.
Paws Late Visits and Creates Dis.
turbanceS in Two Places.


At about 10 o'clock last night Jo-
seph Camara arrived at the police sta.
ton with a man by the name of Mark
A Born, member of Company E of
the regulars. He explained that the
man had created disturbance by run
ming into his house on Emma street I'M
bidden,. and knocking on the shutters
and the wall, at the same time crying
out, 'Is there to be a wedding here?'
No communication with the Police Sta
ton could be obtained, so he brought
the man down himself. Born was in an
intoxicated condition and in a very
suIly mood. He was given comfortable
lodgings for the night, and his case will
come up in the Police Court this morn
ing.
About half hour previous to the lit
tie incident a telephone message from
the home of Mr.. Wray Taylor, Beretania
street, was the cause of a mounted pa
trolman being dispatched to that place.
It was learned that man had run into
the yard from Beretania street and had
got into the back part of the house.
After cursing and making disturb
ance he fell out the back way and
started off in the direction of Emma
Square. A search failed to locate the
man. 1t is believed by the police that
Born was the man who visited this
place as we'll as Camara's.

Chief Justice Judd Pays Tribute

When the Supreme Court opened yes

said:
Gentlemen, allow me TO call your at

tice McCully, now hanging in this
room, which has lately been presented
to the Court by the widow Of the late
Justice. This portrait was made by Mr..
Z. S. Willard, an artist of distinction
in Massachusetts, and at considerable
expense and under difficulties, the art
list not having had personal sittings.
but painting from photographs of the
Joined us during the past four years the
features of the late Justice are unfamil-
lar. but 1 think that those who knew
Judge McCully will find much in the
portrait to remind them of him.
Judge McCuTly was a Justice of this
court from February 1, 1877, to the date
of his death on April 10, 1892. Having
resided in these islands from the year
1854, Judge McCully was familiar with
the customs and history of this cOun-
try, and his decisions, which will be
found in our Reports from Volume to
8, both inclusive will show his ability
as Judge. He was a man of strict in
tegrity, and trust this portrait will
tend to keep his memory fresh in our
minds"

The Ring and the Maze.

The Crystal Maze, at 400 Congress
street, in this city. at the present time.
is noted as producer of mirth provok-
ing incidents and strange happenings,
and the following illustrates, to some ex-
tent, the mystitying nature of this won
derful occult-gsometic illusior:
One day during the past week lady
and gentleman visited the Maze in Bos-
ton, and during their excursion through
the labyrinthian passageways the lady
in removing her gloves, accidentally dis
lodged valuable diamond ring from
one of her fingers, which, falling to the
floor, rolled away and beanie lost to
view. One of the guides was immediately
notified of the loss, ard vigorous
search was at once begun for the missing
gem. At the expiration of few NOM
ents' search the lady was heard to ex-
claim: "There 1t Is; ! can see it!'' and
following the direction indicated sure
snough the ring was seen sparkling in
all its brilliancy.
On arriving at the spot what was the
surprise of every boiy to discover that
there was no ring at all there, but mere
~ q reflection of 1t seen in one of the
mirrors.
After little more time spent In search
the ring was again discovered by one
of the party, when, to their amazon emit
1t was found to be but another. reflection.
The vnly discoveries made for long
time were OF four more reflections
Of the ring.
Despair at ever finding the diamond
now became clearly apparent on the
countenanoes of all, when Herr Won
Palm, the inventor of the Crystal Maze,
was seen strolling toward the party. One
of the guards summoned him. explained
the loss and also the matter of the six
reflections. He was amused and re-
marked that he thought there would be
no difficulty in locating the lost ring.
He was soon seen to stoop down aud
pick up something and upon returning,
handed the missing ring to the tho
roughly astonisaed owner.
Her Won Palms explanation Of the
strange circumstances was that as the
ring reflected exactly as many times as
the mystic statue seen in the Maze, 1t
was no difficult matter for him to locate
the ring exactly on the Same principles
as hesshad located his famous statue.

ga special meeting of the Deering city
government Was held last evening.
Mayor Mitchell presided, and all the
aldermen were present except Mr.. Cobb
of Ward One.
Alderman Small said that there had
been considerable excitement in his
portion of the city by recent occurrences !;
and he had petition representing that
burglaries and the holding up of citizens
are very frequent in that part of the
city and asking for an officer to patrol
Forest avenue nightly from Deering
bridge to Woodfords. This petition was
signed by large number of citizens.
Tho petition was referred to the police
onInmittee. Mayor Mitchell called atten-
ton to the fact that the police money
was expended ;and it was decided to allow
the committee on police to take this into
consideration also.
Isaiah D. Pride was appointed and con-
f.rmed as special policeman without pay
at North Deering.
On motion of Alderman Matthews the
claim of S. s. Hsrsey for damage to his
lad by drainage from Ocean street WAS
referred to the committee of the whole.
The petition of A. D. Barnard, A. 4.
Marks and others was presented asking
for sewer to begin and run from Deer
ing avenue to Longfellow street, to
Noyes street, to Forest avenue. The
petition was referred to the committee
on sewers.
Alderman Aver, representing the COM
mittee chosen to study the subject of OBJ
tanning a CITY water supply from Duck
Pond, reported that the committee had
met and had laid out their work. 1t was
necessary first to have the Duck Pond
water analysed. This would make some
expense, and there might be other ex-
penses. Therefore he presented an order
appropriating 500 for such expenses.
This order was passed.
As this was special meeting called
for special purpose, the subject of
securing city quarters in the new Odd
Fsllows' block did not come up. II will
probably be considered at the regular
December meeting.

GRAVE CHARGES
Made by william ii. Graves, One of tho
Bidders for Bonds.


New YORK, Feb. 20. William II.
Graves, whose bid for Si,50O.000 of the
new government bonds was thrown
out, ostensibly for the reason that Mr..
Graves could not produce the gold in
payment therefor, charges that he Is
the victim of conspiracy in which
Secretary Carlisle and J. Pierpont Nor
gan played leading roles. MIR. Graves
says that he made all necessary ar
rangements to pay for his allotment of
bonds, but that the original certificate
OF award was misdirected. lie com
planned to the treasury department by
telegraph, and on the afternoon of
February II he found the notice Of al
lotment at the general post Office. The
postmaster would not give him the
notice. Eventually the treasury su-
thorities said they would receive the
gold from him and give him certifi-
cate of deposit.
But" says Mr. Graves, ''the treas
ury department absolutely refused to
deliver any bonds in payment for the
gold, despite the fact that, in accepting
our bid, they had agreed to deliver the
bonds to us when we offered our gold.
the same as planned to do in all other
cases. We offered the gold, but they
would not deliver the bonds"
Mr.. Graves alleges that the notice
was purposely misdirected, and that
Banker Morgan prompted Secretary
Carlisle, having, he affirms, openly
threatened to squeeze him (Graves).
