Dismissed with Reprimand.

Three small white boys we're brought
before the Police Court this morning by
Officer Nicholson charged with damag,-
ing the fire escape on the Peabody school
building. From the evidence in the case
II appeared that the youngsters had run
SID and down on the escape, causing the
lower part of the same to rise and ia,l,
and in doing so had broken three OF the
steps. The boys, however, denied the
charge that they had broken any part OF
the escape. 1t was shown that the
schools in the building had been annoy
ed by the conduct of the youngsters. JUS
tice Cation dismissed the accused with
an admonition, and should anyone be
apprehended in future charged with SIM
liar oAenses fines will be assessed.

The manager of the Grand Transasiatic
is a scoundrel of the deepest dye. He
has entered the service of the company
to await his opportunity for some ex-
tensive haul. The opportunity has come
with the millions of the Son of Heaven,
Yes. The whole abominable scheme is
clear enough to me. Faruskiar has de-
Tended the imperial treasure against XII
Tsahg to keep it from the chief of the
bandits, who had stopped the train,
whose attack would have interfered with
his criminal projects. That is why he
had fought so bravely. That is why he
had risked his life and behaved like
hero.
But somehow we ought to prevent this
rascal from accomplishing his work. We
ought to save the train, which is running
full speed toward the unfinished viaduct;
we ought to save the passengers from a
frightful catastrophe. AS to the treas

The manager of the Grand Transas-

he felt himself superior to praises as

1t is ten minutes to 10 when we return

with the millions. 1t is there, as usual,
behind the train, under the Chinese
