THREE YEARS FOR A MELON
Prisoner Only Remarked That He Re
gretted That it was Graen

Jeffersonville, Ind, Sept 2S.-CharIes
Mark of Montgomery county was re-
ceived at the reformatory last night to
serve an indeterminate sentence of
from one to three years.
He stole a watermelon, which accord
ing to the affidavit made by the owner,
was worth 10 cents, and for this was
given the above sentence.
Marks takes the matter very philo-
sophically, however, and, when asked
by the court if he had anything to say,
remarked that he regretted very much
that the watermelon was green.

The Captain and the Station Agent
Erou, tho Mexfcan Journal.

From the Mexican Journai
It has been decreed that a certain cap
tain in the regular army be deprived of his
rank for the offeEse of opposing his au-
thority to that of the city police.
About two weeks ago the captain in ques-
ton arrived at the National depot with his
command for the purpose Of taking the
train to Monterey, to which post he had
be en- ordered. He insisted on passing as
hand baggage a cot and some other bulky
articles. The porter objected. and, the cap
tain insisting, he called the station agent.
Scott Wallace. The gendarmes on the
ground took the part of the porter. 1t is
reported that the captain drew pistol on
Mr.. Wallace and ordered his men to load
their muskets and open fire on the porter
and Ecndarmes. The depot was soon clear
ed, and the captain got his bed into the
coach.
II appears that this was not the first time
that this same officer had offepded in much
the same fashion, SO the station agent
made written complaint to the minister Of
war. and the matter thus came to the
knowledge Of the president who has acted
most promptly In correcting this abuse OF
authority. In the order OF the day. as
communicated to the police force yester-
day, was contained this decision Of the
war Office, and the matter was much and
fayorably commented on.
