4 Whimsical Wager.

A young Austrian nobleman, who
had the reputation of being brilliant
talker, made a wager with n club friend
that during the first year of his mar
rage with the daughter of a certain
count he would preserve rigid silence
when in her presence, and, in fact.
would not speak single word to her.
This resolution he faithfully kept; but,
owing to the fact that the wager was
not made public, some very curious con-
sequences ensued.
His wife, believing him to be insane,
privately sent brain specialist to eX-
anime the taciturn gentleman. He was
on the point of being conveyed to a
sanatarium when he disclosed the rea-
son of his behavior. When the year was
up, he claimed his wager, which was
duly paid.

Detroit People Pay Three Cents Now and
Transfer nd Lib. Gratis.
Detroit, July 15.-When the common
council met in special session at D..
m. yesterday to consider the working
ordinance asked for by President Pin
gree, of the Municipal Railway COM
pany, the working ordinance had not
been considered by a committee, and
a motion to refer it to the joint COM
mittee on streets and ordinances, &C
cording TO the councils rule, after a
brief debate, prevailed without a dis
senting vote. The chamber of COM
merce has adpoted resolutions pro-
testing against further action toward
the street railway purchase as at pres
ent contemplated. Other meetings of
protest were held last evening. Mean
while the people are enjoying, tenn
porarily, at least, the benefits of a s.
cent fare and transfers universal be-
tween all lines.
"Three-cent fares" were announced
yesterday on the fronts of Detroit
street cars in the places where amuse-

Some Estimates of His Stealings Are
High as SI65. Surrenders.
New York, July 15.-George NJ. Val
entine, cashier of the MiddleseX Coun-
ty bank, of Perth Amboy, n. j., which
was closed yesterday, has surrendered
himself and is now in Jail on account
of shortage in the banks funds which
has been variously estimated all the
way to S165, 900. The affair caused
CONSERVATION and dismay among the
business men of Perth Amboy, where
the MiddleseX County bank was con-
sidered as strong as the eternal hills.
The officers of the Middlesex County
bank and the officers of the Perth AM
boy Savings institution are identical,
the business of both banks being trans
acted over the same counters, and
there was a run on the savings bank
U. B. Watson, the president of both
banks, says that the funds of the
savings institution were not touched,
that the 100000 deposited to the ac-
count of the savings institution is alb
solutely safe and that no matter how
badly the MiddleseX County bank has
been wrecked the savings bank will be
able to meet all demands made upon it
by the depositors. This checked the
run.
Nobody knows what Valentine did
with the money, but he did all the dam
age in less than six months.
