Picturesque Bob Evans Figures in
 Another Story.
 In warerooms and navy clubs this unpublished story Is related of Admiral Evans. When he was given command of the battleship Indiana he discovered that vessels stream anchor-a fifteen hundred pound piece of metal-lashed against the after superstructure and in the wake" Of the after thirteen-lnch guns when fired at extreme range ahead.
 Curious place to have that anchor!' was Evans comment to the officer who was accompanying him on his round of inspection.
 Orders from the chief of the bureau of equipment" was the reply.
 Captain, now Rear Admiral Chad wick, was then chief of the bureau. Evans had occasion to go to Washing ton the following day and there met Chadwick. See here. Chadwick" he said, that is a remarkable place you have picked out for slowing the Indi- ana's stream anchor
 Proper place" said Chadwick. A few days later, the Indiana went out to test all of her guns at all angles and elevations. It came the turn of the after thirteen-inch guns, and the group of officers composing the board of in- spection were on the bridge and with glasses trained on the target, some three thousand yards away. The big ship quivered as one Of the great guns went off, and through the acre of smoke something went hurtling to splash heavily in the water 300 feet or So away, or so away.
 That shell must have 'tumbled. Z said one of the inspection board, but swash my turret If l ever saw Just then geyser leaped in air few yards from the target and down the wind came the distant boom of the fal flung she'll
 The group looked blankly at the spot where the supposed shell had splashed into the water and then at Evans. "Chadwick's anchor, he said quietly Which not only Illustrates sententious speech, but the power of thirteen inch rifles to kick anchors long distance when these are lashed where they can be affected by the blast.-New York Herald.

TIRzAH's CHIMNEY.

Five years before when Solomon Green had asked Tirzah Hitchcock to become the second Mrs. Green she had tartIy refused the. honor. T ain't much of a beauty" she had told him. "but no warmed-over affection fur me, thank you, Solomon Green"
 Solomon had reasoned all in vain. X
 Why, Tirzah,' he pleaded, 1t ain't mo ways natural fur wimmen to live alone. Every mornin' your chimbly is the furst thing look at, an if I wasn't to see the smoke a comin' out of 1t, I'd be scared to death thinkin' you was robbed, or killed or suthin'.
 Whats the use in us keepin' up two houses when one would do jest as welI2"
 Since that time the two had hardly exchanged a dozen words. Solomon had mot married, neither had Tirzah, and now on the night before her fortieth birthday she sat looking around her orr derly little home with the most deso- late feeling at her heart she had known for years.
 Tomorrow would be her birthday. Mechanically she had gone through a few preparations for that rather dubi- ous festival. The smallest hen from her flock was curled up ready for roast- ling inside the same pan in which her hens had been roasted for the last fif- teen years. A green apple pie sat on the pantry shelf beside a sour cream spice cake, while a plate of mealy tarts was waiting patiently the filling of grape jelly to be theirs on the nor row.
 Never before. at that season of the year, had Tirzah's hens been laying so well.
 Her COW had never been known to give so large a yield of milk, There were three new kittens in the basket behind the kitchen stove and her cana

JACOB MKLAND CONVICTED OF
 USING BAD TRANSFERS

The Estate of Asa A. Bushnell InsolFent
 Seek Bankruptcy of Union City YIan-Hearing on ROods License
 Suit on Assigned Debt-CIty Court
 Cases-BuIkeIy Case Up Yesterday.
 The officials of the Consolidated Rail- way company have commenced deter mined fight against patrons of the road who devise schemes of various natures to defraud the company. The first of these actions reached it's eulmination yesterday in the city court W%en Jacob 3Iyland, an optieian doing business at s1T Chapel street, pleaded guilty to use of bogus transfers. BIyland was arrest ed last Friday night on a warrant and put up bonds for his appearance in the city court. He was present on Sat nrday. but the case was continued until yesterday morning when he pleaded guilty and was fined S5 and costs. It seems that the offender lives at Savin Rock during the summer and has been in the habit of coming to the city
 on a car coming from the Rock, secur-
 
 after being in the city some time or at
 his place of business returning to sayin Rock and offering this transfer for
 transportation. It Is alleged that if the
 conductor refused 1t Myland would re- snonstrate with him and claim that he asked for Savin, Rock transfer and that the conductor giving him the } transfer had made a mistake. This { worked on several occasions, but the of ficials finally caught onto the scheme Z and laid trap to catch him. The trap worked very nicely and after positive \ evidence was secured a warrant was { sworn out tor his arrest.
 The Consolidated Railway company E has retained Watrous & Day to prose- ! cute the several other cases which are E pending and 1t is certain that there will f be fight to the finish before the mat ter is settled. Another warrant for a 2 similar offense will be issued within a Gay or two and some interesting results are promised.
 z Judge Ralph Wheeler will hold a ses- E sion in the superior court next Friday 5 to hear the controversy over the New Haven democratic town committee. At F torney Seymour c. Loomis. counsel for E IA. F. Welles, chairman of the old town
 committee, has moved to have the in E,5unction against Welles and his com lnittee dissolved.
