THE WATCH CAME BACK.
Luck Of a Man Who Met a Pickpocket
in Park Row.

Having his watch stolen from him
and offered for sale back to him in an
hour was what happened 10 a friend
OF mine the other day when crowds
gathered at the newspaper bulletin
boards waiting for news of the Thaw
jury" said a citizen TO a New York
Sun reporter. 1T happened this way:
IAN old friend of mine was stand
Ing among others waiting for news of
the Thaw jury when suddenly he felt
a twitch at his watch pocket and his
watch was gone. Not being sure of
his ground he kept his loss to himself
and walked away from the crowd.
After transacting a little business
in the neighborhood he turned toward
home. Remembering that he needed
a drink he stepped into a saloon.
He was in the midst of his story,
telling the sympathetic bartender OF
his experience, with his back to the
door. when voice back of him broke
into the conversation, ordered a drink
and asked the drink mixer If he had
any use for a watch, mentioning the
fact that there was one TO be had
cheap.
THE barkeeper, having my friend
in mind, asked to see the watch and
turned il over TO my friend, who i'm
mediately recognized it as his. Turn
ing around he inquired how much he
asked for the timepiece. The thief
recognized his late victim and made
a bolt for the door, taking good care
to leave the watch behind.
Now being of a peaceful DISPOSE
ton my friend let the matter go at
that. Can you beat it?'

THE POLICE COURT.
Terrence Kane Fined Heavily in
 Court To-Day.

About 1 o'clock this morning Mrs Terrence Kane of Sarsfield street aroused Officer Joseph s. Neagle from sleep with the information that her husband had turned her and three children out doors and was breaking up things at the house. The officer went to the house and found the statement to be true for things were topsy turvy and some windows were broken. When the officer proceeded to arrest Kane there was fierce fight but it resulted as all such scrapes re- suit in victory for the officer. In court to-day he was charged with in-' toxication, breach of the peace a nd resistance and he was fined S5 and costs and S10 and costs.
 Edward Brush was ordered to pay his wife S5 a week or go to jail for sixty days. He has been drinking it seems while his wife had to work to support their two children.
 John Casey was committed to Brookside for thirty days. William Cullen was sent down the road for a similar period for the same cause and Edward Stack charged with intoxica- tion and vagrancy accompanied him to serve out sixty days.

DOGS BORN THIS YEAR.
Town Clerk in Norwich Makes an In.
 teresting Discovery.

The new act regarding the regis tration of dogs is causing dog owners to become interested to an extent al together above the common. Cattle Commissioner Averill, who has in charge the enforcement of the law, is receiving extra orders for tags, showing that the number of dogs reg istered is beyond the expectation of the town clerks.
 The town clerk of Norwich has written for more tags and in his let ter he says: 'I need more tags, as have issued 109 within day or two. Nearly every applicant has explained to me that his dog became six months old yesterday or that it will be six months old to-day. I consider that the birth of so many dogs in this vicinity at practically the same time is one of the most curious facts I have ever discovered"
