A CHINAMAN'S TROUBLES.
Charley Long is not Happy and won't
be Until he gets his
Money.

Charlie Longs troubles are not over
notwithstanding the order OF Lee Toy,
the "mayor" OF Chinatown, in Philadel,
pha. He has been left severely alone by
his countrymen and his trouble comes
not from them; but from the "Melican
spy" as he dubs Magistrate Pritchett,
before whom the case was tried. Charlie
kept and still keeps cut rate laundry on
West Tenth street and was arrested fol
disorderly conduct, said disordcrly con-
duct conSirting of tearing up laundry
check under q misunderstanding The
srt was decided against Charlie, and he
was sentenced to pay for the articles
called for by the check and also to pay
costs OF prosecution. Charlie refused to
pay and in default was sent to the City
Hail. where he was searched preparatory
to being locked up on the magistrate :
order. His effects, including SLID in
cash, were turned over to the magistrate
as Charlie was his prisoner The magi-
strate, it was said was about to turn
over tn the plaintiff his claim for dam
ages, but Charities attorney getting wind
OF this, went to the magesterial court and
convinced the justice that he would be
acting beyond his legal powers in so do
ing. On tharIic's release the money was
refunded, less $4.5O, which was retained
as costs. This amount Charlie wants to
recover and as he has the law of the case
on his side he will probably succeed in
making the squire disgorge.
In addition tc all this the question is
raised as to the jurisdiction Of the magis-
trate's court in cases OF disurdcrly con-
duct.
If this question is decided in the mega
tive lucrative source of revenue will be

Edward Chambers the coIorod man to
whom the possession OF Il bicycle brought

from custody. Chambers stated that
since his incarceration he has been work.
ing for Mr. Mclarlanc, at Farnhurst.
On Thursday while lifting sack of
wheat he injured himself internally and
has been suffering from the effects ever
since. He was advised to see a ply
sician, as from the symptoms he has
sustained a rupture. His wheel and the
various articles which he left in the
hands OF he department on his release
were turned over to him upon his giving
his receipt for them. Chambers still
preserves the respectful, non-committal
attitude which has been a marked char
actcristic since his arrest.
The wheel which has caused so much
comment, is Il '94 Rambler and despite
its age, is in good condition. Whether
Chambers will remain at his present
employers is question now that he has
his means Of locomoton again at his
disposoI, but lie stated that he was 60

He treats the whole affair of his arrest
and the detention of his property as
merely an incident which is clhaps the
