He went into the Pullman coach, but the fair passenger was not there.

By return mail he re- ceived letter from Jack Linden wits enclosure of check for $10 and what pleased him more. pretty little note or thanks from Jacks sister, signed Ethel Linden. which was redolent of vlolets and regret that Jack was late Tor the train, and that the gateman would no let her out of the station again without a ticket. The letter was promptly answered and two weeks later Jack Linden had business in Rochester Of course. he looked up Boyden, and in the course of a month the latter was en route to butfaIo. There was mutual recognition between himself and the conductor at first glance.

 For several days the druggist who is lover of flowers. has had upon his front cases punches of sweet peas of d variety grown originally in California and but recently cultivated in this sec ton of the country. Each morning af- ter opening up the stoge he has found collected around the base of the vessel containing the peas quite an accumu- lation of dead flies.
 For the first day or so he regarded the mass of defunct dipterous insects as an accidental gathering in ths neighborhood of the flowers but curt- osity promptly him later to watch the conduct of the few flies left in the store. It was observed when the peas were freshly picked that immediately after their being placed in the vases those hies in the vicinity swarmed upon the petals and proceeded to fasten them selves there. Shortly afterward they fell from their positions dead
 It is presumed that the odor of the peas attracted them first and that af- terward they absorbed some poisonous exudation that the flowers possess and died in consequence. So far as known the peas possess no toxic effect upon the human being

 assist in a protracted service in that city.

 The trials of the men arrested last night will probably take place tomor- row before Judge Feagin. of the Police Court It Is not known whether the men who were placed under bond were members of the Alabama Club or were visitors at the time the raid was made on the quarters in the hotel.
