CLEAR THE WALKS.
Mayor Bergundthsl Starts a
New Crusade.

Mayor Bergundthal has given orders to
Chief of Police Con- to enforce the ordi-
nances of the city which prohibit block
aiding the sidewalks with boxes. show
cases and other things. or blockading the
street with vehicles. The ordinances on this
subject have been very laxly enforced
and the revival Of the crusade for passa-
Bile streets is meeting with many protests.
Wagon dealers and repairers are not al
lowed to stand wagons on the street at
any time while the wagons are being re-
paired or are waiting for a customer. The
merchant who has a glass case fun OF
goods out in front of his store as an adj
vertsement for his wares must If he has
a Kansas avenue store, keep the case
within the five-foot limit fixed for his area
ways If he is located on a street narrow
er than Kansas avenue. he must confne
himself to still narrower strip in front
Of his store
Quite a number Of Indignant citizens"
who have been notified that the ordinance
is to be enforced will attend the council
meeting and ask that the old 1883 ordi-
nance be repealed or amended.

ATTACKED BY CHINESE.
Party of American Engineers
Get Into Trouble.

Washington. April SO.-The state de-
partment has received cablegram
from Consul General A1cWade at Can
ton dated yesterday stating that a mob
of Chinese made an attack at Yau Tau
on North river, $50 miles from Canton
upon a party of American engineers.
The consul appealed to Lieutenant An
derson commanding the American gun
boat Callao and the officer went imme-
diately to the rescue. The consul gem
eraI then lodged formal complaint
with the Chinese officials.
The attack is not believed to be asso-
ciated with the boxer movements. 1t
is conjectured that the engineers in the
course of railroad construction or SINH
lar work had run counter to some in
tense Chinese superstition by invading
a grave yard or in some way commit
ting a sacrilege in the Chinese view.

AN INGENIOUS ROBBERY.
How $4,000 was Stolen from an
Irish Stage Coach.

In the first quarter CT the past CEN
fury it became necessary for the Bank
OF Ireland, at Belfast, to send a large
sum of money in notes to its branch
ment there, the amount 10 be RENTED
being almost 100000
Only two courses were open to the
management to effect this. one being TO
send a special messenger in post
ehaise and the other To send the con-
signment by the mail coach. The lat
ter was the mode of transportation
chosen.
The coach left Belfast on Monday.
Wednesday and Friday. at y O'Clock
noon, returning from the archiepiscopal
city each Tuesday, Thursday and Sat
urday.
On the previous afternoon of the day
in question a stranger called at the
coach Office and booked four inside
seats to Armagh, paying for them in
advance Just prior to the starting Of
the coach two men only put in an ap-
pearance. explaining that the other two
passengers would join them en- route at
a place beyond Lisburn. The mail coach
was in charge of John Byers, an old
and trusted servant of his employer and
the premier whip on that coach line.
The leathern wallet containing the
notes was handed TO him by an official
at the bank who instructed him under
no circumstances TO lose sight of it till
effect to his instructions, placing the
wallet in the front boot. as it was call
ed underneath the driving seat and
where the coach -dined" having his
dinner brought out and eating it on the
box.
When the coach arrived at the rem
+ devious beyond Lisburn the two inside
uassengers' conferees. were not to be
seen. After waiting a few moments
both guard and driver said it was inn
/ possible to wait longer. and the two
inside must either continue their jour
ney or remain behind. After some de-
muir they chose the latter alternative
and retraced their steps toward Lis
burn.
When the coach arrived at Armagh
/ to the horror and CONSERVATION of those
wallet containing the consignment was
missing. The cloth in the inside had
been cut. the hair stuffing removed and
the dividing panel between it and the
4 boot had been saWn through and the
wallet distracted.
The whole robbery had been careful
! " planned After abstraeting the wal
let the thieves replaced the panel and
stufing and sewed up the cloth again
so that should any one go inside en-
route no disturbance would be pre-
ceptible 1t was ascertained that the
| thieves obtained a conveyance in Lis
b11rn. drove to Belfast, where they ne
gotiated the notes for a draft on Glas-
gov. made their way to Donaghadee
| thence to Portpatrick, and eventually &c
Glasgow

present day it has remained a profound
mystery how the information was OBJ

WASHBURN LOST IT.
Y. ". c. A. Basketball Players Took
Final Game.


In the final game of the season be-
tween the Y. w c. A. and Washburn
basketball teams the Washburn girls
We're defeated last night. The game was
played at the rooms of the Y W. c. A
and when time was finally called the
score stood 81 to p in favor of the Z.
W. c. A. team
1t has been said that basketball is
rough and brutal and that it is a game
too strenuous for girls but if last nights
exhibition was at all significant basket
ball is very proper game for girls and
what is more. very tame one.
In a basketball game at the Y. w. G.
A. rooms the audience, and not the
players, are the ones who receive the
hard knocks. They have nothing to
protect them from the big ball and the
plunglng players, and consequently
many run the risk of being seriously in
jured. Fortunately small audience
was present last night and the girls had
as much room as they wished.
Last nights game was an interesting
one to lovers of basketball for several
reasons. First, because both teams were
about equally matched, each of them
being we'll trained and having about
the same number of scalps hanging to
their belts Second, because it was the
last of a series of three games played
during the past season between the
Washburn and Y w G. A. teams
Washburn won the first two games but
this fact did not discourage the Y. w
c. A. girls and they went into the last
nights game determined to win, and
they did win.
Everything favored the Y W. C. A
team at the start of the game and for q
time it looked as if the Washburn team
was going to be white washed" but
when the first half ended the score
stood 1e to - in favor of the Y. w. c.
A.
In the second half the Missionaries
managed to get few baskets" but
the Y. w. c. A. girls got more, making
their score % while Washburns was
only "a.
The most exciting incident of the ev-
ening occurred when two reporters went
to the blackboard and started to copy
the names of the players. Several
Washburn girls who were still feeling
the sting of their defeat stood before
the board Tor the purpose of hiding the
names and the score and one pretty
girl said I'VE do not allow reporters to
come up here" During the argument
that followed some one erased the score.
It was evident that the Washburn girls
were conscious Of the fact that they
played poor game and wished to keep
the papers from getting a report of it,
