INSPECTOR KELLY's TRIBULATIoNs
Aldermen Go Over His Head in Per-
fniftfng Frame Buildings.

Building Inspector Kelly has had
trouble lately with persons who want to
erect frame buildings within the fire
limits. The Aldermen nave frequently
granted permission when the Inspector
was opposed to It. In order that he may
show applicants his reasons for refusing
permits the Inspector asked the Alder
men last night to furnish him with
copies of all ordinances relating to the
erection of frame buildings. He also
communicated with the Board on the
subject OF carrying out his recommended
lions concerning the tearing down of un-
safe buildings. He says that as far back
as 1892. when he was Inspector, he con-
demned certain buildings, some of which
are still standing. He now asks that
when he recommends the tearing down
of a building the Board take such action
as will enforce his order.
The Inspector filed with the Board a
letter from the Society of New Jersey
Architects, requesting him to strictly en-
force the ordinance requiring all appli-
Giants for permits 20 build TO file plans
with him.

HELD UP IN 4 CANYON.
A Union Pacific Train Attacked by
Robbers Near Ogden.


SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. IA, 1S9s.-The
this morning was held up a short distance
from Uintah, at the mouth of Weber
Canon and about eight miles from Ogden.
A train was made up at Ogden and sent
to the scene of the robbery, and orders
were given to organize a posse and run
the robbers down.
The passengers were not moIested, the
robbers combining their operations TO the
mail and xpres cars Railway officers re-
port that all the booty secured was a few
mail bags, but whether or not these con-
tained v~aluables is not known. The rob
bers, two in number, boarded the train at
PETERSON a small station in the heart of
Weber Canyon.
II the special train bearing the officers
makes good time, it Is quite possible that
the bandits may be caught, as 1t is irapos-
sfbie for them to get out of the canyon
save by the eastern routes, and all sta
tions east of Uintah have been notified of
the robbery.
The robbers surprised the engineer by
suddenly rising up from behind the tank
and covering him with a gun. They gave
the fireman a cotton Jack and told him
TO put it over his head. The engineer was
then told to run along until ordered to
stop.
A few seconds later the train was or
dered stopped. The engineer was then or
dered to point out the express car, which
he did, and, while the attention of the
robbers was distracted, he ran to Uintah
and gave the alarm.
The baggage and express cars were un-
coupled and run ahead of the rest of tne
train some 300 yards, and both the mail
and express cars were broken open. The
robbers failed, however, TO get into the
safe. After the robbers left the train was
made up again and aiken into Ogden.

PRETTY SORT oP AMATEURS.
College Football seems Productive of
Financial Eaeannees.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. IA, 1896.-There
will be no football game between. the
University of Pennsylvania and Lafayette
College this season. The P-ennsylvanians
a few days ago received a demand from
Lafayette for a substantial increase of
the guarantee agreed upon for the game
scheduled for october "a, at Philadelphia,
between the two colleges.
The day before the game last year La
fayette made the same kind of a demand
and then Pennsylvania agreed to it and
paid the advance asked. This year Penn
s~ylvania refused to accede to the asked
for advance. They have the agreement
entered into and signed by the football
authorities of each college under which
Lafayette agreed to take a certain sum
as their share of the games receipts.
Pennsylvania holds to this agreement
and the game with the Lafayette boys
is off. Lafayette made the demand on
the grounds that, as they had played a
tie game with Princeton, their teams
drawing power had been Increased and
they should be paid more money for the
game. 1t is understood here that Lafay-
cite and Princeton are ~endeavoring TO
come to al agreement to play a second
game his season, and tina it is TO be
played in Philadelphia.
Manager McAvoy is ~endeavoring to ar
range a am with the University Of

GIMME WANTS HIS wIFB's LETTER


Herman Ohmme, a German, went into
Police Headquarters last night in Hobo
ken and asked the police to assist him in
recovering some letters which, he said,
had been left at Arberts' saloon, No. &C
Garden street. These letters were adj
dressed to Ohmme's wife and the letter
carrier had left them in care of Alberts.
Whether the letters are so addressed or
addressed to No. 15 Adams street,
ohInme's home, he does not know.
Gimme heard that the letters were in
the possession of the s-alocnkeeper. He
went to the saloon and demanded the let
tiers. He was answered that the letters
would be delivered to Mrs. Ohmme and
no one else. Gimme would not say that
he thought his wife was holding a clan
deetine correspondence with my man,
but he, nevertheless, was determined to
find cut whose signature was attached to
the letters.
When Gimme was asked why he didn't
take his wife to the saloon and have her
procure the letters, he said under no cir
cunfstances did he wish his wife to meet
the saloenkeeper.
The ergean at the desk told him the
police had no jurisdiction In the Gimme
matter and advised Gimme to visit the
Postmaster in the morning.

BRADYs DRUNKEN HUMoR.

Alexander C%hotchen, a colored man liv-
ing in Hackensack, was walking on vii
lew avenue last evening. When near Third
street he met Hugh Brady. Brady stood
in the colored mans way and tried to pre-
vent him from passing, at the same time
making disparaging remarks about his
color. Chotchen seeing Brady's drunken
condition paid no attention to him and
attempted TO pass. By this time a crowd
had collected. Chotehen was able to es-
cape Brady for a short distance only.
Brady continued to follow and modest
him, and finally picked up a brick and
threw it at Chotchen. The brick went wide
of the mark, and before he could make
another attempt to nit Chotchen, Ser
geant Flattery, who happened to be in the
neighborhoed, came up and arrested
Brady. Chotchen was also taken to the
staten house, but did not wish TO make
any charge against Brady, as he said his
business would suffer by the time he
would lose in pressing the case. The
police, however, locked Brady up on a
charge of assault and battery and expect
Chotehen to be in court today to press
the charge.

MRS. CASTLES SISTER FRUSTRATED
She Is a wealthy Philadelphia Lady
W She says.

What She Says.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. IL, 1884 local
paper says:-A sister of Mrs. w. H.
Castle, the wealthy San Francisco woman
accused in London Of the larceny of furs
and other valuable articles. resides in this
city. She is Frustrated over the unfor-
tunate occurrence and out of considera-
ton for the family her name is withheld.
The father of Mrs. Castle arrived in
Philadelphia yesterday from North Caro-
lima and win remain here until more
definite information is received from his
daughters attorney in London. While
the news of the arrest came to the family
with startling force. they do not believe
Mrs. Castle was guilty of wilfully steal
ing and are of the decided opinion that
she is suffering from mental trouble.
"She has always been a deep student"
said a relative yesterday, and was UNI
usually intelligent and well educated.
l feel certain that she must be i'll, for
1 know that while she was in San Fran
cisco a physician attended and treated
her constantly for brain and nervous af-
fections. 1t cannot for a moment be
thought that she would commit a crime
while in a sound mental state. She is
wealthy and has everything money could
obtain. She wants for nothing, for Mr..
Castle adores her, and grants every re-
quest that his wife makes. She comes
from a prominent family and moves in
the best society at home and abroad. No
person is more proud of her lineage and
her position, and no woman guards her
name with more watchfuiness.
Her sister is Frustrated by the blow,
and is now under the constant care of
physicians. Many expressions of sym
pathy nave been received by the family.
and all our friends give assurances that
an investigation will satisfactorily clear
up the mystery
