CAT AND CRABS Make PANIC.
Man Covers Feline with Torment
ors on New York Ferryboat.
From the New York Tribune.

OFB NCW
From the New York Tribune.
George Cess of No. 20 Woodbine
street, Brooklyn. has sense for the
most delicate humor. He attached sew
eral bodied crabs to a cat on the
ferryboat Texas yesterday. The result
was a joke that made George hold his
sides from bursting with laughter and
landed him in a cell. Oh, IL was funny!
Women tainted and shrieked in ter
ror while the crab-ridden, squawking
cat jumped all over them, and while
crabs crawled over the floor, clawing
right and left. Wasn't 1t an excru-
ciatingly mirthful scene?
Louis Kraft, of No. 208 East Twenty
first street and his wife, owned the
cat. 1t was large striped cat. He
had refused 500 for 1t, he said, and
was taking II as present to his sister
in the Bronx.
Cess was with two or three friends
who had been grabbing with him. They
had a net some poles and big bas-
ket in which the days catch was being
carried home. Though 1t was a crowd
ed boat and the women's cabin was
filled with women and children, with
some men out for the holiday, Ceiss
and his friends. with the basket, sat
down in the women's cabin, near Kraft
and his wife.
Pretty soon the men spied the cat
and Ceiss conceived the joke. He told
Kraft how he admired the cat, and
the owner readily handed the animal
TO Ceiss when the latter asked for Il
Ceiss scratched the cats head with one
hand and opened the crab basket with
the other.
In jiffy ne had a crab out and the
instant he held IL close TO one ear Of
the cat the crab grabbed that member
in a bulldog grip. The cat howled and
other instant Ceiss had picked up an
other crab and attached 1t TO the cats
other ear. II took him only a few
seconds TO haul out crab after crab
and let each one r@N the cat, first ON
each leg. then three on the tail and
then two or three more on the sides.

the cat down on the floor and prepared

Complete Treatment for Humours, 81.

Woman Claims She Lied About
Sheriff Switzerland.


Sheriff Switzerland.
Douglas, Ga, Aug. 2s.-Florence
Dilbourn, white, who not long since
finished a Jail sentence, yesterday
made a voluntary affidavit that w. L.
Davis, Populist nominee for sheriff of
Coffee county, made her drunk, offered
her 500 and paid her IS, down, to
make 4 signed statement that while
she was in jail Sheriff Switzerland.
Democratic nominee to succeed him
self took improper liberties with her
and allowed male prisoners the same
privilege.
She says Davis carried her before a
man she did not Know was a magis-
trate, and in her maudin condition
she signed something which it appears
later was an affidavit to the above
charges. All of these in her affidavit
she swears are untrue, that Sheriff
Switzerland is not guilty of such foul
conduct. and only treated her kindly
in an official capacity, as he did other
prisoners.
No man in Coffee county stands high
er than Sheriff w. w. Switzerland,
and his private and official life has
been too clean to give the shadow of
credence to the charges.

New London, Conn.,, Aug. 2s.-To-
morrow night the first real move IN
the game of war between the army
and navy will be made. Gardeners
Point has been considered a weak
spot by the army men and one liable
to be attacked by the navy.
There is no fort at that point, and
1T is only guarded by two dismounted
guns. The submarine mine boat Dime
is darting about in that vicinity, which
leads to the belief that the passage
of the North Atlantic Squadron will
be interrupted by mines.
