SWINDLING SHOPkEEPERS,

New and Ingenious Devices Practiced by
Kendcz-Moi of the Capital.
A tashionably dressed Partisan the
other day entered a tobacconist's shop
IN the Rue st. Honore, in which several
persons were being served. He select
ed cigar, which he lighted, and stood
for a few moments as if waiting for
something. He then turned to the shop
girl and asked for his change out of
the 5-shilling piece he had given. The
girl denied that she had received any,
at which he appeared very indignant
and said that if she looked in the till
she would doubtless find it, adding that
it had a certain mark on it, The girl,
to satisfy him, looked and found a s.
shilling piece marked as described,
and, apologizing for her mistake, was
about to give him the change when
two gendarmes, who happened to have
observed his maneuvers from the out
side, entered and took him into Gus
tody. He was taken to the commits
sary Of police, where he was recog-
description of thief called rendeZ-mol.
His plan was to send someone into the
shop, some little time before him to
purchase trifing article with a
marked 5shilling piece, and then to
enter himself and act as described, by
which process he managed to get from
40 to SO shillings per day.

The high water marks of several ex-

at Easton Point, st. NIichael's and
Oxford. What is known as the
centennial tide' Of September, 1876,
has held the record of the highest
water mark, and still holds it, al
though last Thursday mornings (Oc-
tol>er " tide was within an inch of the
centennial mark. The recent flood had
a singular effect on the flow of the ar
tcsian wells on Tilghman's island.
These wells average 400 feet in depth,
and many of them have a surface
overflow. which increased fully double

the tide was at it's highest. 1t has

high tide is perceptible in the effect it

MUST TAKE ROBBERS ALIVE.
Uncle Sam Pays No Reward for Dead

Uncle Sam Pays No Reward for Dead
Postoffice Plunderers.
Some very curious cases have been
decided by the law department of the
postoffice department relating to re-
wards for the capture of robbers of
postoffices. Judge Thomas has just
rendered a decision against claimant
at California, NO., where a postoffice
safe was robbed. In such cases the de-
partment pays $500 each for the con-
Viction of the persons engaged in the
robbery. There were five persons in
the affair, but the authorities had no
cleW to the men. 1t happened that the
guilty persons were in a saloon some
time afterWard, and one of the crowd
got into a dispute with farmer. A
row ensued in which the farmer shot
and killed the man. The other men
ran and were captured by other per-
sons, not because they were postoffice
robbers, but because they were en-
gagged in the row. It turned out on
examination that the man killed was
the ringleader and had the bulk of the
booty on his person. His death re-
suited in proving the completely in the
robbery of the four other men. The
men who captured the four have been
allowed $500. The farmer made appli
cation for $500, but it is said that, the
reward being offered for the ARREST
and conviction" Of the robbers, he can
not be paid the amount. The dead rob-
Der was neither arrested nor convicted
of the offense. Judge Thomas said that
it was rather hard but under the law
he could do nothing else. He recalled
case in Oklahoma, where there had
been q robbery and three notorious
desperadoes we're pursued, and, after
fierce encounter, one was killed, an
other MORALLY wounded and the other
captured. The dead robber was the
leader and had nearly all the stolen
property on his person The others
were tried and convicted and the
wounded man died. The reward of
$500 was paid for the capture of the
two, but, although the special agent re-
ported in favor of paying the reward
for the dead robber, it was found not
to be in accordance with the law and
was refused. Postoffice robbers must
be taken alive in order to secure re-
wards.

and is always pointed out to visitors

effects of sea life. lie lives generally
