Frank COnnor's Experience With Foot

shortly after midnight, while he was
going to his home. When Connor ap-
preached the bridge, on South Pearl
street, near the Second ward school house,
two mon sprang at his horse's head.
One of them held the reins, giving the
animal such sudden jerk that it was
thrown down on its knees. The other
fellow grabbed the whip out the buggy
socket, and struck at Connor several
times. His hat was knocked off into the
road.
Mr.. Connor got his horses turned
around, and came back to look for an
officer. He was bareheaded and some-
what frightened. He reported the case,
and later on went home.

AN IMPosTER.
Charles Clark, the Philadelphia Beggar,
Duped Bridgetonian.

Duped a Bridgetonian.
Charles Clark, the beggar, who, with
his wife and three children was arrested
in Philadelphia, Thursday, and sent to
the House of Correction for three months,
was in Bridgeton last Monday, and
worked a nice little game on one of our
prominent merchants.
He came here with his wife and three
children from Millville, and the story he
told was slick one. Somehow he learned
of a certain charitably disposed man here
and worked on his sympathy. He told
his tale of woe, saying he was here penni-
less and the way he came to be here was
that he had heard of sister whom he had
not seen for years. being in Millville, aud
he came down from Philadelphia to
spend awhile with her. When he reached
Millville he could not find her and came
over to Bridgeton thinking she might be
here. All he wanted was for the gentle-
man to give him enough money to buy
two tickets to New York, $780, and then
he would be all right. Whether the man
was suspicious of Clark or not, be did not
give him the money, but gave him an
order to Station Agent Hoff for TIVE
tickets to New York, the price being
$3.50.
Clark's scheme was all right to him, SO
he took the order to the ticket office OF
the w. j. IL S. R. r. and got the tickets.
He did not leave on the next train, and in
the afternoon concluded he would not go
from Bridgeton and applied to the ticket
office to have the tickets taken back and
get the $3.50 in exchange, telling them at
the office that he had changed his mind
about going to New York. He was told
that he could not do this. Then Clark
after raving around awhile, thinking it
strange they would not give him the
money. bundled up his family, went to
Millville and got to Philadelphia.
Station Agent Hoff thinking Clark
might not use his tickets, but get them
cashed at the main Office in Philadelphia,
telegraphed them not to receive the
tickets in exchange. His telegram did
not reach the office in time, for the slick
Clark had been there and got the money
on them.
Clark is thirty-eight years old; his
pretty wife. twenty two. and their young
est child, gil, is only six months old.
All were welss xessed and did not appear
to be in distress.
According to the Philadelphia police,
Clark has been supporting his family for
some time by begging. He does not halt
psssers by on the street and ask for few
pennies; he is an aristocratic beggar. He
is strong, healthy fellow, neatly dressed
and fluent talker. His scheme is to ad-
dress prominent storekeepers in person,
tell them story of hard luck and ask for
employment or dollar or so," until he
can obtain work. Clark says his home is
in ST. Louis
