The Dubuque Globe-Journal of We'd
nesday, Nov. 80, in speaking Of the
death of Mrs. E. j. Mclaughlin, which

and smiles. To know her was to love
her and be her friend through life.
Itmay in truth be said of her that she
never harbored enmity against anyone.
Nature had given her zan open, unset-
fish heart, and a disposition that made
it a pleasure to be in her presence. She
was a wife and mother of the highest
type and a sincere friend; and the an
nouncement of her death has OCCASION
ed unfeigned regret among all who
knew her.
/ Mrs. Mclaughlin is survived by her
husband and three children, Edward

highest terms. MrssaHTaughlin, who
was in business for Several years ii

MAYOR OVERRULED.
Telephone Ordinance Will
Be Passed by Street and
Water Board.

Tomorrow afternoon the Street and
Water Commissioners will pass the or
dnance giving franchise to the Hudson
Mayor
The position of the Commissioners, it is
understood to be, is that it is unwise to
put heavy restrictions on new company
whose purpose is to compete in healthy
rivalry with monopoly and by which
competition the city will be benefited.
Il am only speaking for myself" said
one of the Commissioners recently in dis
cussing the ordinance, when | say that
to shut out the Hudson Telephone Com
pany is simply to hand over the city to
the company which has now monopoly
of the telephone system in this city,
Think of it a moment. The Hudson Com
pany is operated and controlled entirely
by people in this city, while on the other
hand L will engage to say that not one
owned here. Should we not encourage
criticize the Mayor. He is acting as I
believe conscientiously, but it does seem
strange to me, and l have heard others
express the same views, that a blackeye
in the shape of veto should be given to
a movement to benefit the people by CIV
ing them cheaper telephone rates. Sup
pose no other corporation can get in here,
and few will try when in their infancy,
they are virtually strangled with hard
restrictions and heavy tax, what will
be the effect? Higher rates by the cor
poration now in control"

ATTACKED BY GANG.
Policeman Rescued From
a Lot of Toughs-- They
Say He's to Blame.

While doing duty last night in citizens
clothes, in the vicinity of Warren and
Morris streets, Policeman Pangborn of
the Gregory street police station was set
upon by a gang of toughs, who tried to
assault him. Pangborn said that the
leader of the gang was Andrew Shultz,
who resides at the corner of Warren and
Morris streets
AS the officer was walking down Nor
ris street he was pushed out in the gut
ter by Schultz, who did not recognize
Pangborn. The officer stopped the man
and tried to get an explanation from
him, but Schultz's only answer was an
attempt to strike him. Pangborn then
placed Schultz under arrest Schultz
broke away from the officer and started
to run. Schultz was stopped on the OPP
posite side of Warren street by Police
man Ackerman of the First precinct sta
tion, who came to Pangborn's help.
When the gang saw that assistance
had arrived one of the members named
Theodore Padwag of No. 1863 Morris
street went to Schultz's aid. He made an
attempt to get his friend away from the
officers. Padwag was driven back three
times by the officers before he too was
placed under arrest.
Schultz, when arraigned in the First
Criminal Court this morning said that
Pangborn had attacked him first ana
he was merely acting in self defence
when he attempted to strike the officer
Police Justice Nevin adjourned the case
until tomorrow morning in order to allow
the prisoners time to prepare their case
and secure counsel

where Men Garry Their Money.

s'It is rather amusing remarked the
head of the biggest bureau de change in
London to the writer, ito notice the va
rious methods in which men of different
natioanlities carry their worldly wealth.
The Englshman carries his all loose in
his right-hand trousers pocket-gold, sill
yer and copper all mixed up together
He pulls handful of the mixture out
of his pocket in a large, opulent way,
and selects the coins he has need of.
The American carries his 'wad of bills
in peculiar long, narrow pocketbook, in
which the greenbacks lie fiat; the French
man makes use of a leather purse with
no distinguishing characteristics; while
the German uses one gayly embroidered
in silks by the fair hands of some Lottch-
en- or Nina. The half civilized capitalist
from some torrid South American city
carries his dollars in a belt, with cum
ningly devised pockets to BATTLE the gem
tlemen with the light fingers. Some OF
these belts are very expensive. The
italian of the poorer classes ties up his
little fortune in a gayly colored hand
kerchief secured with many knots, which
he secretes in some mysterious manner
about his clothes. A similar course has
charms for the Spaniard, while the lower
class Russian exhibits a preference for
his boots or the lining of his clothes as
a hiding place for his savings.-London

MR. JONES GETS THE POLICY
Still Another Phase of the Atlantic
TRANSFORMATIONS Troubles

The bankrupt Atlantic Transportation
Company, which has appeared in the
Court of Chancery regularly every Mon
day bobbed up again this morning. This
time Charles J. Roe as counsel for
Charles Jones of Cleveland, Ohio, asks
the Chancellor for some order disposng of
a policy of insurance in the London and
Provincial Insurance Company for $500
sterling. From the petition it appears
that Mr. Jones in September 1885, leased
to the Transportation Company the
barge John H. O'Neill and in the charts
it was guaranteed that the company
should have the barge insured to the
amount of $1,000 and assign the policies
to Jones, the company took out eight
policies and all except the one In the
London and Provincial Company was
assigned to Mr.. Jones. The O'Neill was
lost in November of that year off Prince
Edwards Island. The company is ready
to pay the amount of the policy and Mr..
Roe asked that the receivers be directed
to assign the policy to Mr.. Jones.
Former Governor Werts who repre-
sents the receivers, made no objection to
the motion and the Chancellor granted
Mr. Roe's motion.

MISFIT CLEMENCY.
Justice Nevin Ordered a Whip
ping For Boys and Then
Backed Down.

There was considerable excitement in
the First Criminal Court this noon when
Police Justice Nevin ordered the parents
of Lavelle Hawkes., u years old, a school
boy, residing at No. 316 Barrow street;
Lawrence Jacobus, 10 years old, of No. 2l2
First street, and Leonardo Calabrye, Z
years old of No. 40 Railroad avenue, to
take them into the detectives office and
give them a severe beating. The boys
were arrested last night charged with
petit larceny by Frank Poole, a confec-
toner, of No. 11S Newark avenue
Poole accused the boys of running into
his store and grabbing a handful of
without paying for it. Poole caught
young Gala byre last night and handed
him over to the police. He was taken to
the Second precinct station where he was
locked up. Ca1abrye then told the police
OF the matter and the arrest of Hawkes.
and Jacobus followed.
The court room was crowded when the
Judge gave the orders and rush was
made for the detectives room, where
many thought they would witness the in
teresting ceremony. The Court, however,
told Detective Bumsted, who was de-
tailed ITO see that the punishment was
inflicted not to allow it to go on. He
said this, however, so that the crowd
could not hear him, and 1t was sup
posed, when the parents of the boys
came out of the room, that the whipping
had really taken place.
Justice Nevin told the parents of the
boys that he merely gave the orders so
as to scare the children. He added that
if the boys were whipped it would do
them more good than a term in jail
because Of their tender age
Proprietor Poole showed no desire to
press the complaint and 1t was dismissed

Marion Clark, the Kidnapped baby; De-
tective Herlihy, Mrs. Cosgriff and himself

tion and restoration of Marion Clark.
Captain McClusky said he was not going
to obey the subpoena served on him last
week to appear before the Magistrate at
New City on the examination of Mr.. VIII
son and Mrs. Jennie Wilson, and he
thought that Mr.. Clark, Detective Herlihy
and Mrs. Cosgriff would also refuse TO
go to New City.
Captain McClusky thinks that not only
the Wilson's but Belle Anderson, the
nurse girl, will be indicted. AS soon as
an indictment is found against the An
derson girl requisition papers will be ap-
piled for. Captain McClusky says he
feels sure that he will have possession
of the Wilson's in one way or another
very shortly. He also says he is posi-
tive that the three persons under arrest
were the only ones concerned in the kid
mapping.

PEsHALL AT IT AGAIN.
The Lawyer Will Appeal to
Supreme Court to SaYe
Nero's Life.

The dog case had another inning in
the Second Criminal Court this morn
ing. Mrs Henry Hay, of No. 11s Lake
street. who was bitten by big New
FoundIand dog. belonging to Jacob
Boucher. of Boulevard and Lake street,
was again on had still insisting that the
dog Nero" should be killed. She
believes that if the dog should ever go
mad she would die of hydrophobia.
An ordinance passed by the Board of
Health nrescribes that in such cases if
the person bitten so insists before a
Police Justice, the dog shall be given
into the hands of the police to be shot.
Should the owner fail to produce the dog
the ordinance further prescribes that he
shall be fined 500.
When the case was first brought before
the Court Justice Potts was not quite
sure that he had the authority to order
the dog shot. The case was postponed.
When it came up again Boucher was
represented by Lawyer Peshall. well
known dog fancier. The city was repre-
sented by Assistant City Attorney Henry
Puster.
Mr.. Peshall held that the ordinance had
been declared invalid by the Supreme
Court. The case was again postponed
and it came up again this morning.
After listening TO the evidence of a
number of witnesses and the legal con-
tentions of the opposing lawyers, Justice
Potts declared the dog was a nuisance
Mr.. Peshall declared that it should not
be produced in court.
The Justice demanded the owner to pro-
duce the dog, and it then developed that
the owner didn't know where the dog
was. Mr. PeshaH had himself spirited
the dog away.
Mr.. Boucher appeared willing to pro-
duce the dog, but admitted that he did
not know where it was, and Mr.. Peshall
still insisted that the dog would not be
produced, despite the fact that Mrs.
Boucher, wife of the owner of the dog,
declared for herself and husband that it
ought to be produced if the Court so or
dered. 1t appeared that Mrs. Boucher
objected to the course pursued by Mr..
Peshall
The Justice said the only thing left for
him to do was to impose the penalty of
a $40 fine on the owner
Mr. Peshall appealed the fine and was
allowed until Thursday to secure the nee
essary papers. He intends to take the
matter to the Supreme Court, If neces-
Sary.
