NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The animation OF

THE MAN IN THE TRUNK.
of Getting the burglar
Into the House.

Two well-dressed men from Paris
drove up to the best hotel in a country
town in the department of the Eure, re-
lates Paris correspondent and en-
gagged a double bedded room. They de-
posted very heavy trunk in a corner,
and then went out TO see the town, tell
ing the landlady, widow, that they
would return al night. But night came
and the two men did not come back al
the time specified. The landlady wait
ed, much surprised, and KEEP. her estab-
lishment open after the usual hour for
closing. This was soon observed by
the local gendarrnes on duty, who en-
tered the hotel and reminded the pro-
prietess of Ike place that tie curfew, or
its modern substitute, had tolled the
llnell of parting day, and that it was
full time to extinguish lights in all inns
and cafes. The widow .aid she was
waiting for two men who had left big
trunk behind them. This caused the
gendarmes to reflect little. One of
them, well versed in criminal annals,
;uddenly remembered the Gouife case.
lie also thought Of the young stamp col
!ectcor who was murdered in Paris a
few years since, and whose body was
thrust into trunk. Anxious to secure
all the credit OF n discovery which might
lead TO promotion and glory, the gen
darme learned in criminal lore asked
the widow to let him see the trunk, and
told his companion TO wait for him at
the bar or buvette of the hotel. The
landlady accordingly led the man TO
the room, and he began to gauge the
weight of the big box, when suddenly
the lid flew up and out jumped wiry
little man, who brandished big revolv-
er in his right hand. The widow
screamed and the gendarme was tenn
porarily thrown off his guard, but he
soon pulled himself together and crap
pied with the person who had been act
ing jack-in-the-boX. The other gen
darme, hearing the landlady's shrieks
and the scuffling overhead, was soon on
the scene of action and helped his col
league to manacle the mysterious per
son who had jumped out of the trunk
and to take him TO the lookup. There
the fellow refused to give his name OF
to say anything about his companions
who are supposed to have returned &c
Paris, leaving him to plumber the inr
when the owner and her servants were
asleep.-St. Louis Republic.

CROWS FIGHT A TURTLE.
A Maryland Man Gomez TO the Rescue
of One OF che Birds Held Pris-
oner by the Reptile.

Benjamin Rust, of Chestertown, Nd,
gives an interesting account of a com
bat between a large swapping turtle
and vast number of crows, which he
witnessed few days ago. While noted
for his shyness. the crow is also noted
as a vicious fighter in defense Of his
own household. Mr.. Rustnoted great
commotion among the crows in mead
ow. The birds were darting down max
ing vicious thrusts with their beaks
and pounding away with their wings
at the same time keeping up tremen-
dous chatter.
1t was noticed that one crow. though
Tapping vigorously, was unable to get
away. An examination disclosed the
cause of the trouble to be a big snap
ping turtle, which had seizedia crow
by the wing and held it captive. and
was making his way to branch. where
it is supposed the bird would have
been dragged down and drowned pre-
paratory TO being eaten. Mr.. Rust cap
tured the snapper and released the
crow.
Snappers do no small amount of dam
age 10 goslings and young ducks. They
grab their prey by the foot as they swim
along, drag them beneath the water
and when they are drowned proceed to
devour them at their leisure.

SPANIARDS PLAYED FAIR
hut 1t Was Long Ago when They
Were Engaged In War with
/ England.

In the year i746, when England
was engaged in war with Spain, Capt.
Edwards, of the Elizabeth of London,
coming through the gulf from ia
maica, richly laden, met with violent
storm. The ship sprang n leak that
obliged ii to run into the port of Ha-
vana. The captain went on shore, and
waited on the governor, and told him
of the occasion of his putting in, add.
ing that he surrendered the ship as
prize, as well as himself and crew. as
prisoners of war, only requesting good
quarters. NO, sir" replied the gov.
ernor; ''if we had taken you in fai,
sea, or approaching our own coast
with hostile intentions, your ship
would then be lawful prize, and youi
people prisoners, but when, distressed
by the hand of Providence, you come
to our port for safety of your lives.
we, being men, though eneLies, are
bound by the laws of humanity to af
ford relief to the distressed who ask
it of us. We cannot, even against our
foes, take advantage of the act of
God. You have leave, therefore. to un-
load your ship. # that be necessary to
stop the leak. You may fit her here,
and traffic so far besides as shall be
needful to pay charges. When re
paired you may depart Twill give you
pass, to be in force till beyond Ber-
muda. II after that you are taken,
then you will be a lawful prize, where
as, now, as you are only a stranger,
you have strangers right to safety
and protection"
Here was fairness. The ship depart
cd and arrived without any ,other ac-
cident in the port of London.

JUST INDIGNATION.
Felt by a hind-Heorted Woman when
She Heard g. Mn Cumming"
"Dlind Pig"

A certain woman OF this town is
noted for her kindness to animals,
says the Milwaukee Sentinel. She has
way of bringing stray dogs and cats
into her own and her friends homes,
with heart overlooking with such
affection for her four-footed brethren.
as she calls them, that over and over
again she persuades unwilling people
into becoming guardians to one-eared
felines and sad visaged ours. Not long
ago this woman was visiting in mo
license" town and some one undertook
to play the old joke 1.-The blind pig
on her, telling her with great concern
that they We're running such an ami
NAL just outside of the town. That was
enough. The kindly woman put on her
bonnet and set off for the village mar
shall or some such functionary, and
with tears in her eyes protested
against such cruelty.
Il can't see why they should be run
ming blind pig" she said very ear
nestly, ''the poor thing can't have
harmed anyone, but anyway it ought
to be stopped" and the marshal SOL
EMMY agreed with her.
But the point of the story lies in
this: When the man who put up the
joke confided the delight in it to an
other woman and expected her IL
laugh with him, all he got was lool,
of wonder from two big brown eyes
and the question;
well, what were they running the
blind pig for anyway"

Mayor Mcclure suggested that
the estimated cost of the gravity
system contemplated the laying of
pipes throughout the entire town,
and that as a matter of fact many
outlying streets need not be piped
at the present time or until the
prospects of revenue from the
water supply could be practically
assured in such portions of the
town.
In reponse to an inquiry by At
torney Lee Champion, who was
present in place of his partner,
Town Attorney Warner, Mr.. Phil
lips said that the question of suf-
fiency of supply from Newland
creek was a matter which did not
admit of argument. Either it
could or could not be obtained.
In his opinion, taking into consid-
Grafton the character of the water
shed and what information he had
been able to obtain as to rainfall,
ETC., he believed that the annual
flow would be amply sufficient to
maintain the storage in the reser-
voirs and that storage would GER
tainly be amply sufficient to sup
ply the town for great many
years to come. He said that he
had not heard anyone dispute the
assertion that sufficient water flow
ed in Newland creek at some time
during the year to provide an am
pie supply. The only question
was as to its storage. Some oppo-
nents of the proposed source said
that it could not be stored in suf-
ficient quantity. In his opinion it
could. And it was his judgment,
he said, that there was no CON-
parison as to the desirability of a
gravity rather than a pumping
system.
After considerable silent DELHI.
