couple Of lightning rod sharks induced

issory note for Sl45 on a contract that
was supposed to call for %. Is. The
trick is u smooth n and is worked in
this manner. An oily tongued advance
agent precedes the gang and makes the
contract. His first representation is that
they are introducing a new lightning
rod aud want to put up one as an ad.
vertisement and that If he will consent
they will rod his house or barn and
charge him the nominal sum of S3.75.

settlement is demanded, the buyer is
astounded and narrowly escapes paral.
ysis to find that while they have been
giving him the rods for SO -, there is
a clause in the contract entirely as.
Gaping MS attention, which saws that

all jobs have from two TO five points
and each point requires three braces,
it is easy To figure the result. In the
case Of Mr.. OF, he put four points on
the barn and it took $l45 to satisfy the
scoundrels. He vainly protested at
the outrage, but they promptly dis.
claimed any verbal contract he might
have had with the advance man and
held him strictly to the biting clause of
the contract. Samuel S%chippert made
a contract with the same parties but
came off more fortunate. He profited

London, March 5.-According to the
MIN as being an electrical engineer
whose name cannot be disclosed. but it
has been forwarded to Washington, he
sold to Spanish officers in London, sew
eral Years ago Il large number Of mines.
eight or ten of which were pla ceI in
Havana harbor. He says they were
made IN a special way and had a spe-
clally and peculiarly constructed cable.
Which he contends he canpositively iden-
tlfy If the smallest piece is produced.
Some of the mines, the man continues,
were fixed so they could be fired from
a fort. and two of them had bulbs. so
arranged that they would explode upon
a vessel coming in contact with them.
But the alleged electrical engineer adds
that he does not believe the bulbs would
be used in water as shallow as thai OF
Havana harbOr. He exhibited the
plans of one of these mines. which. he
pointed ont. was most likely to produce
the effect described as causing the
wreck of the Maine. 1t was numbered
