Sewing Machine Agent of Orlando
Arrested.
Orlando, Fla. May 24.-Georse Young
white man. married, living near here, was
arrested last night on a warrant sworn
out by H. f. Morgan of Sanford, IN
which Young is charged with an assault
upon Mrs. Morgan. Young was taken to
Sanford to-day for preliminary hearing
before Justice Manley, in whose district
the offense is alleged to have been COM
mitted. Young is sewing machine agent.
He declares that the charge is false and
utterly unwarranted by facts.
City Marshal Carter last night arrested
a suspicious appearing negro, who was
secreted in the north bound train. The
fellow had a murderous-lookingg gun in
his pocket, and is held on charge of
carrying concealed weapons He appears
to belong to the criminal class and has
evidently worn shackles on his ankles for
some time as the caliouses by the irons
are conspicuous. An attempt will be made
to trace his record
Judge j. d. Beggs was struck by a
runaway horse yesterday, and sustained
very painful injuries. A small bone of
one of his hands was broken, and he
was severely bruised and shaken by the
conclusion. 1t is not believed that his
injuries are serious, although very pain
full.

GREEN GOODS GAME.
The Birth of This One of the Crook
ed Human sports.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
There has always been a fascination
about the "green-goods" business, where
in the man who prepares to swindle
others by passing counterfeit paper
money upon them is himself made the
victim of the sharper who has offered
to sell him the bad bills. There is no
call for sympathy for either side. 1t is
interesting, therefore, to know that the
bowery of New York, abused in song
and prose, shares with Cherry street the
doubtful honor of having been the birth
place of the game" In all it's promises
ito be good the bowery has never con-
fessed to this, as it should. But so it
seems to be, and the story of the original
green-goods game" is now told by one
who ought to know. For many years
Detective Evanhoe was terror of evil
doors, and since his retirement, soon
after his share in the solution of the
Borden diamond robbery case, he has
had leisure to group his memories Pos
sibly the story cannot be told with more
advantage than in his own words, as
related to a group of reminiscent friends
not mile from Mulberry street the other

Police Captain Foley was dismissed from
the police department, Geoghan claimed
the credit and held a wake over him in
his saloon in the Bowery that caused
so much excite ment that the police order
ed him 20 remove the stiff or dummy
that he had laid out In a coffin. From
that one can see Geoghan was quite a
card at that time. He was a short, stout
man, thicker than two boots, and as
cunning as a rat. He would resort to any
kind of mean trick to win either in
or out Of the ring. He did an enormous
business. and his place was frequented
by all classes of people
Among them there was a fellow by
the name OF Casey who kept a hole in
the wall i'm Cherry street for which he
had no license. Now the excise inspec-
tor In whose district Casey had his strong
store soon got on to his blomin' lay, and
was only to glad when Casey proposed
that he could come down and cop ten
dollars once and awhile II he said nothing

doing a good business. the excise in

THE NINE HOUR DAY
o'CoNNELL PROPOSES TO FORCE 1T
ON ALL RAILROADS.
FOR ALL SHOP EMPLOYEES.
MAY CAUSE STRIKE INVOLVING
100000 MEN.

VIII Recommend This step to An
nuaI Convention of Mnchinists at
Toronto. Beginning June 3-Nould
Tie Up Entire Mechanical Service
of Roads which Did Not Comply.
Railroads Not Generally Included
in Present strike simply as Mat
ter of Policy.
Washington. May 24-Prcsident James
O'Conneu, of the International Association
OF Machinists, announced this afternoon
that he would recommend to the next
annual convention of machinists at To-
ronto. beginning June 3, that a date be
set for nine-hour day without reduction
in wages on all the railroads of the coun-
try On railroads which fail to comply
with this demand a strike will be ordered.
This recommends ton will be made in Mr..
O'Connells annual report Mr. O'Connell
says that such a strike would involve
probably 100000 men, including forty thou
sand machinists, the others being boiler
makers. pattern makers and
semi-skilled workmen who work
with the machinists in the
various shops. The policy will be to en-
force the demand by tieing up practically
the entire mechanical service of the roads
1t was simply a matter of policy, he said,
that the railroads were not included in
the present strike. Although a number
of them are now involved none of the
roads was originally contemplated in the
order declaring the present strike Mr.
O'Connell says the convention doubtless
will fix a date when the nine-hour day
must be in operation, and he believes this
da te should be some day in the autumn.
At 3 O'Clock this AFTERNOON Mr.. O'Connell
said the outlook of the present strike was
very gratifying. A report from Memphis
announced the signature of six establish
ments there to the agreement. The head
quarters of the strike has been shifted
from Washington to Toronto, for which
city President O'Connell left tonight. He
will stop en- route at Pittsburg, Buffalo
and, possibly, some other city to confer
with local strike leaders, and will take
charge of the Toronto headquarters sun
day night.
