through q narrow opening in the side
walk. Officer Prather considered it his
duty. as a duly-sworn officer to Keep
the public peace, to go in after the dis
turber; so, armed with a Ratchet, he be-
gan to grope his way through the mar
row, dark opening. He had been gone
but few seconds when a wild screech
came out of the pavement. Following
this was yell of pain from the officer.
The crowd attracted to the scene was
thrown into spasms. Some We're for
sending in a rescuing party, but all APP
peared to be more disposed to stand by
and listen Then a yell of triumph
from the dark recess treasured the
group, and two or three tried bravely to
crowd into the opening. Following this
appeared the form of a black cat, spit
ting and clawing, but clutched firmly in
bleeding hand belonging to Officer
Prather, whose smutty and scratched
face was not long in showing out of the
darkness. The black cat was the prop
erty of Mr., Draudt, 1t had been in the
cellar for five days without food or wa
ter and was furious. When the officer
dropped the cat to the ground it flew
fiercely at him, and buried its sharp
claws i'm his uniform, over his breast.
He struck the crazed animal one blow
with the Ratchet and put out what was
left Of it's nine lives.

of evidence which was received by
Judge G. w. Wheeler and deliberated
upon by HIM for six months. This evil
dence was finally excluded, but ex-
Judge Stoddard stated to the court that
it dominated the trial Judges mind

well, and the firm helped to neutralize
what. except for this device, might
have deepened into another great ca
lamity."
A Blackburn banker in 1926 proved
himself equally ingenious. At the crit
ical moment he obtained number of
sacks of meal, opened them at the top,
put good layer OF coin on the contents
and placed them, united, where the
shining store would be visible to all
corners. This dodge was successful;
the resources of the bank were consid-
cred eXhaustless, and the necessary
time was secured to avert disaster.
Many years ago there was q run on
an eastern bank At the close OF the
first day only one thousand dollars re-
manned, and it seemed inevitable that
the next day must bring ruin. A re-
port, however, was spread that large
sum had arrived from New York, and
when the doors opened the manager
and clerks were observed to have COM
posed and happy features. Meanwhile,
a bushel measure had been firmly
screwed down to the counter, filled to
the top with sand, and lightly covered
over with the few remaining gold coins,
The first customer was requested to
lift the measure, or even move it. OF
course he failed. He then apologized to
the bankers for the trouble he had Civ
en- them, went out. and informed the
crowd what they might witness for
themselves. and the panic was at once
allayed.
In another instance it is related that
the coin was heated in shovels over the
fire in the parlor behind, and paid out
as new" at temperature of three
hundred degrees Fahrenheit. The
crowd was convinced that the bank had
powers OF unlimited production-the
proof that it was all right was burning
their fingers.
But the funniest device of all was as
original as it was simple and effective.
Confederates We're employed by the
bank to apply for heavy payments. AS
fast as they drew the coin they slipped
round to the back door, handed it in,
and then returned to the counter to
draw it out again. This proceeding not
only obstructed the proceedings Of the
genuine depositors, and created the de-
lay that was so very necessary, but
when, the public saw the ready and
cheerful manner in Which all these
heavy demands were met, confid ance
was soon restored and the bank saved.

New Jerseys EniIeptics.

Trenton, Jan. 22-The commission on
epileptics and their institutional cure
has just submitted report to the legis-
lature. The commission was appoint
ed under an act passed last winter and
consists of p. G. Barber, M D.. of Nor
ristown; William M. Newell NJ D., of
Millville; John FL. Ewing M D., of Flen-
ming; the Rev. J. M. Buckley of Morris
town, and Prof. S. DIN Garrison of
Vineland. They have sent circulars to
over 1000 physicians in New Jersey. and
more than a hundred institutions. More
than 800 physicians and about forty
institutions replied. and the total num-
Der reported by institutions was 351,
and physicians 709, making total of
1000. AT least 1900 physicians did not
reply, and So institutions made no re-
port, and hence the conclusion that the
number of epileptics in the state must
reach 1000. The epileptie population at
the Trenton asylum for the insane has
Increased Is per cent. in the last year
The directors of these institutions con-
slider that the presence of epileptics is
Injurious to the insane and the epileptic
as we'll
The commission tell of the success
of epileptic colonies in other countries,
and they recommend immediate legisla-
ton that will relieve this unfortunate
class. This can be done, they think
with little immediate expense TO the
state. They suggest that a farm be Sc
cured upon which to establish a colony
to be supported under the care of a
superintendent. They think a majority
of the epileptics can work a part of
the time, and thus the colony would be
to q considerable degree self-support-
ing.

END OF a FAMOUS CASE
The Metropolitan Railroad Company Pays
Bis Judgment
The District Treasury Swelled by
Nearly TAirty-Five Thou
sand Dollars.

The metropolitan Railroad Company to-
day paid over to the collector of taxes of
the District of Columbia the sum of $751;
1862 with interest, from November q, $780,
in full of the judgment rendered recently
by the Court of Appeals
This payment marks the final settlement
of the celebrated case brought by the Dis
trict against the company. The District
claimed the sum of $161 ,622.52 with inter-
est from February %, 1880, as being due
for the paving Of the tracks Of the COM
pany from New York avenue and 18th
street to the East Capitol street terminus
with wooden blocks.
The facts in the case showed that the
company had paved it's tracks with cobble
stones, and when the board of public works
came into power 1t compelled the company
to put down wooden blocks.
The wooden pavement did not meet the
requirements and was torn up by the COM
pany and replaced with Cobble stones. in
accordance with the metropolitan charter.
The suit was then brought.
The total amount claimed by the District
was $315,OOO, and today's final payment by
the company makes a total paid into the
District treasury by it of 500, 14O4I.

THE TEXAS SITUATION,
MIR. COckreII Says the Gold Mems Bolt
fs Benefit.

RepresentativeCockrell of Texas says that
there is nothing in the Texas situation that
democrats need worry about. The bolt and
formation of an independent organization
by gold men, he said, II regard as rather
a benefit to us. There are not more than
10000 of them, all told, and we are better
off rid Of them. They have been a discord-
ant element in our conventions, and We
have sacrificed much in trying to accommo-
date them. Now they have gone off by them
selves before the democratic convention
and they cannot be on hand there to give
trouble.
Trying to accommodate these same peo-
pie cost us at least $1,000 votes the last year
1t is a blessing that they have gone off int O
a little organization of their own We shall
send solid silver delegation from Texas
to the national convention. / suppose this
new organization will try to send contest
ants, but they can secure no standing even
as contestants. since they have left the
party before the state convention and are
outside the organization. Their opposition
will strengthen us in the state. which we
will carry by an increased majority Most
of the $1,000 votes lost on account Of these
people at the last election will come back
to u.s."
