THE WAYS OF THE FROG.
Some Weird Stories From the An
mails of the Police.

some Wetrd stories from the An
mails of the Police.
II never saw so many of 'em be-
fore"
The lone mounted policeman who pa
trolls that section of the city through
which runs the Ogeechee road was en-
PERTAINING a sergeant at the o'clock
relief, the members of which were scat
tered around the veranda of the police
barracks shortly before that hour yes
terday, with an account of an expert
ence that seemed to him peculiar.
NO, SIR" he was saying, Il never
saw so many frogs in my life. After
a rain they come out of those woods
near the road to the electric lights and
catch bugs, and many time I've seen
hundreds of 'em around one light"
Bugs or frogs?" queried one of the
lone policeman's listeners, skeptically.
Frogs" said the individual address,
ed, with much dignity. Il say I've
often seen forty or fifty of EN- around
one light at the same time. They sit
up there and swallow bugs until their
friends have to come out of the woods
and help them to get home-they're so
full Yes, sir; I've seen them do it"
WELL don't you let the sergeant
see you when you are in that fix" in
terposed the skeptic. You know
you've pulled many a poor devil who
never had got any further along than
the place where he could see monkeys.
When man gets so he can see frogs
helping each other home, he's not fit
to be on the streets"
"Ah, go on said the lone police
man, and thereafter subsidized into his
shell. Others of the party took up the
story where he had left it.
They are queer beasts, these frogs,
anyhow" said one. They'll swallow
anything you throw at them and I've
loaded them up with shot so that they
would have to be helped home, sure
enough. They couldn't move by them
selves
Did you ever see one of them pop
ped?" asked another policeman. The
rest of the crowd glared at him I'M
til he explained. why, out in the
country we used to pop them all the
time. We'd just take little rolls of
gunpowder and throw 'em at the frog
and let him swallow 'em, and then
we'd wrap a live coal inx piece of
bread and pitch that at him. He
wouldn't much more than have 1t
down his throat before he'd disappear.
He'd just simply be blown off the face
of the earth"
well, it's easier to believe that than
to make you prove it," said the skep-
tic of the party.
Relief, fall in!' yelled the sergeant,
and the police symposium on the sub
iect of frogs was broken up and adj
journed without day.

PLUMBING CASE UP AGAIN.
Broderick Was Directed to Submit
His Work to Inspection.

The Broderick plumbing case was be-
fore the Recorder again yesterday 1t
will be recalled that E. F. Broderick
has figured prominently before Re
corder Myrick, the Mayor and Council
recently. because of charges brought
against him by Chief Plumbing In
spector F. w. Campos, who claimed
that the plumber had not worked in ac-
cord with the plumbing ordinances.
The plumber was fined $50 and order
ed to uncover his work for the inspec-
ton of Campos some time ago Brod-
erick appealed to the Mayor. who sus-
tanned Campos and the Recorder. He
then APPEALED to Council, preferring
charges against Campos for false
swearing and unjust discrimination.
The plumbing had not been uncov-
cred in accord with the order of the
Recorder. That official directed that
this be done at once, holding that Brod-
erick was in contempt for not having
done so already. He instructed the
plumber to conform to the order of the
plumbing inspector, who will clearly
indicate in a letter just what is to be
lone in the work over which the dis
pute has arisen. The Recorder ex-
pressed himself rather sharply about
the case. intimating that he had heard
enough of il and that IL would be well
for Mr.. Frederick to conform with the
ordinances. sai

CAR MEN TALK STRIKE.
Unless Their Union Is Recognized

and Discharged Men Refnstated
The differences between the street
Railway Company and its employees
are not yet settled and there are ru-
mors of probable strike by motomcn
and conductors, unless the discharged
men are taken back and the union is
recognized. A new scale of wages may
also be asked for.
A committee from the Car
mems Union and from the other
unions in the Labor Trades As
sembly is said to have been named
for conference with the street rail-
way officials. Vice Presidents Fall and
Powers when seen last night refused
to discuss the matter. General Mana
ger McIntire said that no committee
had called on him and so far only one
of the discharged men had asked to be
reinstated.
The headquarters of the Garments
Union are in Detroit, and the local
union is said to be in communication
with the headquarters and its action
will be determined there.
The street railway officials say that
no committee from the union has call
ed on them. and there is nothing to
be said about the matter. A confer
ence of the union car line employees
and some of the other unions was held
last night and there was talk that
unless the employees claims are recog-
nized they will strike. Whether there
will be any trouble tomorrow is not
known, but the street railway man
agement does not anticipate any.

Every baseball fan in the city is on
the qui vive for the game to be played
at Bolton street park this afternoon be-
tween the teams of the C. l.. A. and
the Y. NJ. c. A. Interest has been run
ming very high and there is not doubt
that. the game will look like old times
when Savannah, Augusta and Charles

There has always been a friendly
rivalry between the two associations to
excel in sports, and contests of any
kind never fail to draw. The first
game played was won by the Y. NJ. c.

make a win. That they are confident
Of doing this is evident, but their op-

Frank Mcintyre, who will appear on
the slab for the c. L. As, will make
his first appearance in the box. He
made good record at college and good
things are looked for from him. The
team is strengthened in several other
places. Virgins at second is a new
man and is said to be very fast. Jim
Mcintyre at short will make the infield
veritable stonewall, and Schley
Smith and Hull in the outfield will care
for everything that comes their way.
Johnnie Elton will do the box work
for the Y. NJ. c. A, and Stark will
catch him. Their battery work has
been strong this season. There are no
other changes in the team, with the
exception of Sullivan at center, who
will strengthen the outfield considera-
bly,.
The game will be called promptly at
80 o'clock. Admission rs cents for
men; Is cents for boys. Ladies will be
admitted free to the grounds. Admis-

The colors of the teams-maroon and

WITH STICKS AND BRICKS.
Jacob wesley Made Trouble for the
Tribe of Jones.

Jacob Wesley, colored, was sent in to
the station house yesterday morning
by Patrolman Sandiford. Wesley had
been the cause of much excitement in
the neighborhood in which he lives. his
last exploit. the one which caused and
Immediately preceded his arrest being
to hit Annie Jones in the head with a
brick.
Ella Jones, a daughter of the woman
who received the blow in the head,
was brought along in the wagon to
the barracks, to prefer charges against
the defendant.
She said that Wesley had been at
tentive to her, to say the least and best
about it, but that on Thursday she had
wearied of his attentions, told him she
didn't like no cheap man." and that
he could pack his trunk and CO." In
stead Wesley smote her with a stick,
hurting her feelings and her left hip
She offered to prove to the offices and
others in the sergeant's office how
great had been the extent OF this in

along Henry lane, in the eastern sec

tenn tracks, she met Wesley again. He
made some uncomplimentary illusions
to her appearance and character, both
of which, particularly the former, she
bitterly resented. Then he followed
her into the house of neighbor, where
Annie Jones, her mother, was at the
time.
Ella sought the maternal advices as
to the best method of dealing with the
boisterous Wesley and was arguing
the respective merits of having him
warranted and arrested by a police
officer, when he showed up on the
scene. He had a brick this time and
with it took a shot at Ella. The moth

All of this had not transpired with

took Wesley in charge. The defendant
will have an opportunity this morning
to explain TO the recorder what he
meant by the way he acted.
