has been living a fast life and dressing In the
height OF fashion at all times. The directors OF
the bridge company noticed these things, and the
question has been asked by many how young Me-
gnnes could spend much money and do no
work. The bridge company wished an investiga-
tiOn made. and placed the matter in the hands or
a detective agency in Philadelphia.
About two weeks ago a fashionable young man
arrived In town. secured board at the Lambert
willie House. and announced his intention OF stay
ing all summer He formed the acquaintance
of young Meginnes. The two became fast friends.
and, while intoxicated Meginnes told the young
fellow where his money came from. The young
friend proved to be detective, and caused Me-
ginnes's arrest while the baseball grounds wit

taken before Justice Lyman. charged with lar

from the bridge company at times He was placed
under bail OF $500 for appearance at the September
term OF court. Late in the evening bail was

stolen. but the bridge officials think the amount
