Pennies CAVSE BLOCKADE.
Messenger Boys Plight Ties Up Street
Traffic for Time.

Philadelphia, May 1S.-Thirty five
hundred very new and very bright pen
MES were the cause of a blockade of
all traffic along Chestnut street, from
Seventh to Eighth street, for half an
hour The pennies which caused All the
trouble were in a canvas bag carried by
James Harvey, an 11-year-old boy, who
had been sent by a Market street firm
to the Tradesmen's National bank.
The messenger boy was skipping up
Chestnut street very gayly when tie
thread which held together the canvas
bag broke and $500 pennies dropped to
the sidewalk. The boy went ahead and
several hundred pennies stayed behind.
The little coins scattered in a most
amazing manner, going in every possi-
Bile and in some seemingly impossible
directions, acress the trolley tracks and
into the doOrways of stores and Offices.
Every penny seemed to have fallen on
it's edge and to have rolled indefinitely.
When the frightened boy set UP
wall for help business was suspended
all along the block Trolley motorrnen
stopped their cars and men and women
began the search for the elusive pen
nies Messenger boys and newsboys and
kindly hearted people by the score
gathered around the unfortunate lad
and offered their help. Pennies rolled IN
from all sides. and Master Harvey ac-
cepted them all. Late in the afternoon
the messenger boy was able to deliver
$500 pennies to the Market street iirnl
and was still 1eS pennies Ito the GOOD,
as he characterized it.

Young Corbett Goes East.

Kansas City, May 1S.-'Young Cor
bett," featherweight champion of the
world accompanied by Harry Pollock,
of New York. spent an hour in the city
last night en route from Denver, the
champions home, to Chicago. where
some arrangements may be made for
match with Benny Yanger. The
champion and his companion were
driven to the Midland hotel, where din
ner was eaten. The twice conqueror Of
Terry McC1overn discredited the many
stories from the west that he had been
knocked down by unknowns and said
also that he had not been losing all
the money gambling that had been re-
ported. The Denver fighter looked rug
ged and healthy, although much over
fighting weight He has no definite
views fer his immediate future, but
says that he is willing to fight provid
ing one entitled to the chanceis brought
forward. Regarding Yanger's endless
talk, the champion said: He is not in
my class and all his hot air about beat
ing me in Denver is ridiculous in the
face of the true facts. He forgets to
say that I knocked him down nine
times in ten rounds and that he was
lucky is not being counted out"
