Railroads have discovered another
deliberate attempt to dsfraud them
of large amount OF revenue. A cerS
tain well known minstrel company
has been in the habit of travelling in
a passenger coach and baggage car OF
its own. Under railroad rules 1t was
entitled to the use of its special car
on payment for tickets for twenty-five
persons. An examination of the bag
gage car, however, revealed two secret
compartments, hard to discover. These
compartments were fitted with sleep
ing hunks in which from ten TO If
teen additional people could be ear
ried.

Worse and More Of Il.

Written for The OptIc.1
Regarding the article on wooden
shoes and cheese for the WORK ngmen,
under trust rule, 1t has been criticised
as too strong. The recent rulings OF
the mine-owners in the Cripple Creek
district, that every employe must
strip stark naked four tines h day
for examination. to see that he does
not conceal piece of ore, rather bears
out the prospect promulgated. One
posted, says: "Re-elect Trust Attor.
ney General Griggs and ieIl him to
go to it. and well not only strip every
employe four times a day, In KaiIir,
but we'll search 'em better yet with

Dear Sir;
You have requested me, and I feel
it my dutyfn the interest of truth and
justice, to make statement of what
I know about the complaint made
against you by Mrs. Elizabeth Ruth
erford came to me toassist her in OBJ
tanning from you or the .Ls Claire
Navigation Co., what she claimed was
due her late husband, Capt. George
Rutherford, at tho time of his death.
I wrote you in regard to the matter,
and you Informed me in a personal
interview, that neither you nor the
company owed Capt Rutherford's
estate single dollar, and that I was
at liberty to examine all the books
and accounts. You stated that you
did not proposeto employ an attorney,
and that, i | thought after investiga-
ton that anything was due, you would
pay it. ! did not, however make
such investigation. .=. st ts@.
Mrs. Rutherford's claim then was
that her husband was a partner Of
yours prior to the organization Of the
Le Claire Navigation company. She
produced certificate of ten shares Q
stock in that company for one thou;
sand dollars. Upon inquiry::of several
parties who were or had been inter.
eated in this company, I ascertained
that this stock was worth, as I remem,
ber, about thirty cents on the dollar
You then told me that you pitied Mrs
Rutherford, knowing she was poor
and you would purchase this stock o.
of her if she desired to sell Il, and
pay her five hundred dollars. II
January, 1886. you did purchase thi.
stock paying that sum for il, which
|amount was consid derably in excess d
what could obtain elsewhere. 70,

A Ferocious Animal.

In the Businesses of Macedonia, the
"orter," a ferocious beast heretofore
unknown to the scientific world, is
creating much alarm among the colored
population. 1t has been seen $50 we are
informed) by several darkies, but strange
to say, it only appears at night, and no
two persons have seen it at the same
time. 1t is described as being of terrible
aspect, about the size of large dog,
and it's leisure is spent in roaming around
and devouring dogs by night and
''alligator bait" and "pickaninnies" by
day, showing preference for the last
named toothsome diet. 1t has been
seen skulking across lots and has been
fired upon, but 50 far as known it is I'M
injured No one has ever been able to
get close to it, as it always fades away
when approached. 1t would be well,
perhaps, TO try the 'silver bullet" on

Stolen Sweetness.

NJ. Brown and Pillow Caruthers are
two negro boys whose fondness for
sweet things has gotten them into
trouble. Saturday evening they hoped
onto A. l.. Blocker's hack while It was
going across the square, and stole there
from a sack containing fifteen pounds
of sugar. Mr.. Blocker missed the sugar
shortly afterwards, and, suspectlng the
boys, had them arrested. The sugar
was found where in had been hidden by
the thieves. In court Monday morning
Mr.. Blocker withdrew the warrant, and
the boys paid the costs.
