In an unclassihed plant. probably indi-

one of the most perfect antidotes extant
for the various forms Of the morphine

HORSE WITH IDEAS ABOUT REST
Throws Forefoot Over the Neck Yoke
and Roguishly Alarms Shoppers

On Flatbush avenue, Brooklyn, standing
In front of feed store, may be seen on
almost any day a team Of light chestnut
horses attached to truck. There would
be nothing unusual in this team were it
not for the fact that the Dan horse" as
he is known, has a peculiar way Of resting
himself. When the feed man first bought
the team there was no sign that one Of
the horses had any popularity. but a
week had scarcely passed before Dan
became infected with that tired feeling"
and sought some means to rest himself.
The driver was eating his dinner in the
store one day, when woman rushed In
and told him that If the team outside was
his, he had better hurry out, or one Of the
horses would surely break his leg. The
driver rushed out to find one Of Dams
forelegs resting high up on the neckyoke
|of the pole.
After placing the leg on the ground and
thanking the woman, the driver went
back to finish his meal, wondering all the
while how Dan could have got his leg
up there. Just as he had about dis
missed the subject as an accident, a
boy rushed in and shouted:
Hey, mister, your horse is standing on
three legs. The other one is caught in
the shaft"
Again the driver hurried out, to find
Dan standing as the boy had said, on
three legs, with the other up on the
neckyoke, and apparently enjoying the
odd position he was in. The driver again
placed the foot on the ground. and this
time decided to watch and find out for
himself how this all happened.
The driver had not long to wait, for his
back was hardly turned before Dan sue
ceeded after several clumsy efforts in
again placing a foreleg over the neck
yoke. The secret was out, and the driver
called the boss and together they had a
good laugh. Since that time Dan has
continued to indulge his desire to rest
his feet at every opportunity undisturbed
The place where Dan and his mate stand
when business is dull, is in the very cen
tier of Brooklyn's shopping district, and
consequently there is scarcely day that
some of the shoppers do not rush into the
store and tell about Dams leg. When the
men inside smile at them they become
angry and denounce the driver as a mon.
ster and usually declare that he is not fl,
to drive a horse. Some women, and
even men, go SO far as to hunt up a DO.

AS SOUTHERN ULSTER TELLS IT
Remarks on Neighborhood News and
the Topics Of the Day

Ulster county boasts Of several curiosi-
ties, and what appears to be the gem Of
the collection Is newspaper published
in the town of Highland. This paper is
a weekly sheet which goes by the name Of
the Southern Ulster. H. V. Wing is the
proprietor and publisher. The paper
bears this motto: Honesty will not
wrong no man." The front page Of the
issue of May Is, which a man from Ulster
county brought downlto this city, is taken
up with advertisements and personal
column. Among the notes in that COL
umn are the following:
"Hon. Brainard Howell was home Sat-
urday and Sunday, and rather guess he
feels the same.
"Mr. William Herman and Postmaster
Simpson, we hear, are conversdng WHARF

very conveniently. They both room in

Under the heading, Things That Hap

the following notes:

The proprietor has this to say to pros
pective advertisers:
"Those that advertise in the Southern

don't mean to say the other stores AIM

with plenty of time to see the fellow

INTENDED FOR THE DOG
Ludicrous Error Made by a Beer Gar.
den Vocalist

0C14 vOCd41St
About az laughable an incident as could
well vary life's monotony occurred in a
South Side beer garden the other night.
The parties to the affair were q male vo-
caiist, frightened pug puppy. the puppy 5
mistress as the cast, and the remaining per-
sons present as the chorus. The incident
also tended to demonstrate that peculiar
kind of conceit possessed by the musician,
which attributes all applause to pleasure
over his performances.
The beer garden In question has not only
mixed orchestra. but its program usually
provides for couple Of numbers by some
one of the male vocalists who sing at such
places. The music rendered is Of the kind
most attractive to the general public, patri-
otto airs being mingled with popular
marches and ragtime ditties in proper pro-
portion. The audience on the night In ques-
ton was large enough to fill the biggest
theater In the city, and have an overflow.
It was a beautiful moonlight night, and
everybody was in joyous mood. The vo-
calist caroled merrily once and was re-
called, much because the people pursued
the mechanical act Of applaudng.
1t was about 10 O'Clock when a woman en-
tered the place, accompanied by her escort.

The BATTLE OF LfBRUN
JUSTICE OWENS HAS 4 HAND
FUI-so DID PLATT
Irascibls Elderly Lady From France
Who Whistled and Sang for
Jimmy to Dance

It took Justice Owens nearly all yeeter-
day and q good part Of the evening to at
tend to the case of Mrs. Le Brun. and then
the affair was not ended. Mrs. lie Brun ia
an irascible old Frenchwoman, who re-
sides at the corner of Winston and Wall
streets. and she was on trial on q charge
Of disturbing the peace of Jas. Platt, a spe-
cial Waterman and deputy constable, on
the evening of July 4th. That the case
was ever brought to trial appears to have
been due to the woman herself, for at one
time Plat was ready to dismiss the COM
plant, but as Mrs. LIE Brun was reported
to have made threats that she intended to
institute suit against him for damages for
false imprisonment, he decided the best
way out Of the trouble was to have the mat
ter settled on its merits In the police courts.
Nearly all the day was occupied with the
examination Of talesmen, in an endeavor to
secure a jury. No less than three venires,
thirty-seven, twenty-five and ten men re-
spectively were served by Officer Rico.
Every one Of the seventy-two men was ex-
amined before q jury was finally secured.
The monotony of the day session was re-
lieved by Mrs. LIE Bruins making a savage
dash in the direction of Deputy District
Attorney Joe Chambers, with the evident
intention Of giving a correct imitation Of
an Amazon In action. She was restrained
before she reached the representative of
the people. greatly to the relief of Cham
bers, who had heard from Plat of the wo-
mans seasoned strength.
Plat testified that on the night Of July
4th his attention had been directed to Mrs.
LIE Bruins neighborhood by the noise Of a
police whistle. On investigation he dis
covered that Mrs. lie Brun was on her
porch blowing the whistle. He asked her
what was the cause Of the signal. after first
acquainting her with the fact that he was
an officer. She told him that she had been
greatly annoyed by boys throwing fire.
crackers on her porch and in her yard He
did his best to pacify her. and suggested
that as 1t was the night Of the Fourth of
July some allowances should be made for
the youngsters. He supposed Mrs. LeBrun
was satisfied, and started to leave, but she
persisted in blowing the whistle once more
and refused to cease when he told her to.
He then started to arrest her for disturb
ing the peace, but she resisted, and in the
melee she struck and scratched him in the
face. He found 1t necessary to call on by
ISLANDERS for assistance before he could
handcuff and overpower her. Ed Long and
G. c. Matthias corroborated this evidence.

street, told the circumstances Of the fire.

that she had not scratched the officer in the

Recent Sale of Bonds PrecIudca
Chances of a Sale.

Special Correspondence OF The Evening Star.
CUMBERLAND. Md, March a. 1895
The bondholders of lS44. who at present,
under the authority of the court, are o.
Grating the Chesapeake and Ohio canal
have purcha sed the canal Labor claims ag-
gregating SS3,0U, and have thus brought
to an end litigation looking to the sale OF
the canal, which has been pending for iys
or SIX years.
Gov. Lowndes held $4,000 of these claiir ,
and Mrs. Ellen Stubblefield of Cumberland
$3o,oO0. The latter tried to force the sale
or the waterway TO secure the payment OF
ner claims. alleging that 1t was being
fraudulently operated. in the interest of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company,
TO keep other railroads from securing IL as
a roadbed but the court decided against
her. An appeal was taken, ana the case
was pending when the bondholden of lS44
last week purchased the claims, at the ratio
of 80 cents on the dollar. This satisfies III,
creditors and leaves the bondholcers IA
updisputed control, giving a great setback
to the chances of the West Virginia Cen-
trail Railroad Company securing the canal
as a rOadbed.
