The Adventure of an Alabama School Tencher in New York. A few days ago, when scveral of Inspector Hollinberger's detectives were sitting in the office at police headquarters, a tall, ‘ine- looking colored man, dressed in the qurb of a clergyman, 4 black sult of clcthes, white chirt and tie, appeared and said he wanted to sge one of the men on tusirfess, It was @ warm aftcrrioon and he carried in his hand his broad-brimmed soft hat, which he occasionally used as a fan. @ been rubbed of £300,” he told one jeti¥es, and then he started out to detajl the bioddthirsty manner in which two men had treated him on a railroad train on his way here from Jersey City. Detective Quinign heard the incredible story of the strange:, and promptly. informed him that sucha robbery was not possible. Then the stranger changed the locality of the place where the robbery had been committed from a rajiroad train to a place not far from Jersey City. His 4 iption of the n= ner in which two bold highwaymen had ie- leved him of his borrowed cash excited the suspicicn of the officer, who told him tha he. had been steering against “green goods” men. But the colored man insisted that he was the victim of heartless robbers. Finally, when the officer cornered him he expressed that it was time he was journeying toward home. Detective Quinlan aseyred him, how- ever, that he had done nothing for which he could be detained or arrested, and then the man, who looked like a parson, unfold- ed his tale of woe. He said his name was James Allen, and she was a school teacher at Decatur, Ala., where he owned a farm, which he had seen fit to mortgage in order to make the trip hi would always remember. In addition t this, he bor>owed money from a friend, ai all becausé he had received a “green guods" circular and had concluded to become wealthy by expending the $300 borrowed money. The Decatur school teacher was Invited in the back room, and there the officers explained to him the scheme to which he had been a victim. 2 Then he confessed’ all. He had received a circular from the metropolis, where the police are now under fire for alleged com- Plicity in this sort,of business, as weil as as “D *] that he Oyster, jr., Center market, D street wing.— Adve otter crookedness, and in the usual way he met the operators of the game in Jersey City. There he walked the street, accord- ing to arrangement, With his hat in his hand, until he was tapped oh the shoulder, with the familiar, “* » Mir. Allen.” He was simply delighted gt the idea of ‘knowing he had not made ‘tls trip in vain, Across to New York city they went, and “then the ool teacher expected to get his $3,300 for $300. Well did he remembef the etreular, and what purported to-be a @lip- | ping from a newspaper. This alleged néews- paper clipping had told him of the theft of plates from the bufeau of engraving And printing, and of thé manner in which the counterfeit ‘notes, as genuine, were being sold in the He also remember: col he had had, and the- $1 bill, sample of the counterfelt, that had been sent to him. And so he went to a place in the great city of New York, which he was told was known - 4 Owing’s Slip.” There it Was met the “father” and “son.” and there {t was that he put down ‘his: $300 In anticipation of receiv! |. 300, The package was le up in the regular way, and the customer was given a ticket that would take him to his home. Then the need of caution for fear of arrest with the package in his possession was explained to him, and for his own protection the young man in the den, who was known as the “Son of the Old Man,” was sent along with the package. “If we see a policeman,” he was told by the young man, “I'll get out of the way and may have to express you the package.” This arrangement was satisfactory, and it was finally agreed that the young man should express the package and dvoid any possibility of arrest and exposure. Thus far the school teacher's vacation had been a pleasant one to him,’ and after looking about the New York harbor, seeing the great bridge and other sights, he start- ed on his homeward journey. As the fast express over-the Pennsylvania road wended its way in this direction, Allen {hovant the matter over, and about concluded 1! he hed been robbed. Still there was some Fons ia Yor before left police eadquert he said that the package be to Decatur after all. ain that he could identify en, Knew he could poin¢ out the place in New York where he parted He seemed to derive some pido the fact that he had been e ” away from New York alive, ard Pe Somces his fourney to Decatur. ——s— RESULT OF GOOD TREATMENT. Reform School Milch Cows Entirely Free From Disease. An examination of the herd of dairy cattle atthe reform school farm, which has just peep concluded by D. E. Buck- ingham; the well-known expert on live etocic diseases, developed the fact that the ani- mals were entirely free from tubercolosia. The twenty-one Helstein cattle were each innoculated with the Koch tuberculin and developed no symptoms of the dreaded dis- ease whatever. Dr. Buckingham has ex- amined many other herds in the vicinity of Washington, and that of the reform school ig the first in which he has not discovered symptoms or well developed cases of the malady. This excellent conditign of the reform school cows is due to. ‘tle careful attention which Superintendent Shallen- barger has extended over them. There has been no forced feeding io incregge the sup- ply of milk, and the personal comfort of the animals has been alway: joked to, ss well’ as the absolute -leanlifizss ‘of their surroundings. The reform 14 is all used in the institution, noi ; sent outside for sale. ——-_—<P——— AMUSEMENTS. Pictures.—The indications of jeasure' and gratification with which the famous “Living Pictures” Have been te- ceived at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House during the present week have gone far be- yond the expectations of the management. Owing to the large advance sale it has been almost impossible to obtain seats after 7 o'clock on any night. To avoid monotony the subjects are varied every night, and great interest has been taken in the pie- tures by the numerous artists’ who re- side in Washington, and their criticisms have been of the most favorable nature. To present these pictures accessories of the most elaborate’ order are used, and nothing is omitted to reproduce them as near as possible like the origina) paintings. For next week a selection from the follow- ing list will be taken: Follette; Hope, Cupid on Lookout, Sprit Psyche and 'ut- terfly, Night, Ariadne, Queen Louise of Prussia, Music, The Apple ‘of’ Discord, Daughter of the Shjek, the Moon Fairy and A Shrimp Fisher. : _— Hanley’s Queer Cases, Policeman Thomas Hanley ofthe third precinct’ had a well-dressed woman, named Lizzie Brown, in the Police Court yester- day. He had filed a paper, asking that the woman’s children be taken from her and turned over to the board of guardiatis, and in support of this move he alleged that she was not the.proper person to care for them. In this effort the officer failed, and Judge Miller's decision was that the moth- er keep and provide for her young ones. Then the officer filed a-charge of vagrancy egainst Mrs. Brown, alleging that she was an habitual drunkard. ‘The court heard the evidence, the vagrancy case being before Judge Kimball. Mrs. Brown not only de- nied the charge, but she said that Hanley, the policeman, had come to her house and kad gone out to drink with her husband, Mr. Pugh, the prosecuting officer, learned of the case that had been disposed of in Judge Miller's court and before Judge Kimball had rendered judgment he obtain- ed consent of the court and nolle prossed the charge.

The Progress of the Work of Prep- aration—The New Committee. Mr. Notley Anderson, who is one of the | members of the subcommittee on plan ap- | fointed by the citizens’ Pythian encamp- ment committee, told a Star man this afternoon that the committee was at work, meant business, was producing results and would be ready to report at the next meet- | ing of the encampment committee, which / he thonght would be called by Secretary | Geo.

He thought | ll the Pythians in town would be pleased | with the progress which was being made. | The correspondence at headquarters of the executive committee, Knights of Pyth- ias, was not so heavy this morning as usual, but still it plainly indicated that there was no let up im the interest which felt in the approaching encamp- Bent in various parts of the land. The Public comfort committee received several fpbltcations fer rooms from intending vis- tors,, several of the landladies of the elty put themselves on record as in favor ef roomers. The list of committees has not been announced, but probably will be at | the next meeting of the central committee.

Meriwether qualified as bonds- fran last night in the sum of $1,000, and William Vernon Chaney was released, to Appear in the Police Court and answer a ctarge of false pretenses preferred by a young man named Eugene KE. Jones. The case was set for trial on Tuesday of next week. The warrant, which was issued by Justice Bundy, charges that Chaney ob- tained from Jones $635. Jones answered an advertisement in a local paper, which read Pas folloy “$50 to $100 investment will pay you $10 weekly profit; no risk. Par- tledlars at interview.” Another advertise- ment reads: “Party wanted to invest $100 to $300—will guarantee $1,500 income; no risk; capital secured Particulars at in- terview,”* Chaney Is about forty years old, and he goon led Jones to believe that his system of playing the races was such that he could win ev. ry gay, or as the racing men would say, he @ “dead cinch.” And so Jones advanced the money, he alleges, and the earnings during the earlier days of the betting were added to the principal. But in the course of time the follower of the Paces did not have such good luck, and as is Invariably the case, the bookmakers got the money. Then Jones wanted his money, and Chaney did the best he could by giving him his note for $1,000. Chaney had married during his proeperous days at betting, and his wite indorsed the paper given Jones. Chaney was arrested last evening on his way home from the races. He claims that he acted in good faith in the transaction, and expresses @ willingness to do the right thing so far as he is able. As already stated, the case is set for a hearing next Tuesday. | | ———. -_— WORKING EXTRA TIME. These are busy days at the bureau of en- gravirg and printing, owing to the fact that the end of the present fiscal year ‘s so near at hand. One result of this is that a good many of th? employes are compelied to work over time an hour or so a day. The four divisions where the extra work falls heaviest are the engraving, surface, num- bering and binding divisions, and these are the ones. where work is being continued over time, although the services of only @ few employes in the binding Civision are needed. Assistant Chief Sullivan said this morn, ing that they have to resort to the same means every year to clear up the work about this time. ‘There is nothing extra- ordinery in the situation this yeur, and it will not be long before things get back to normal. .
