AN OLD TIME RUSTLER, Butcher ; choico country A Man Who Took Everything in Camp but the River, Pittsburg Chrovicle-Dispatch. “4Oh, yes, thero were groat ‘rustlers’ in a those days in California,” ramarke d the old ’49er. *‘You see the gold had about played out in '60, and sharp men had a hard time making a living, for everybody all of a sudden commenced to get poor. Iand six others were work- ing for an old fellow named Colonel Friday who lived in a great barracks of a house on the Mokelumne River. It was all that was left of Mokelumne City. Friday had been rich once; but now the old man was as poor as Job's turkey, and all he had was a flat- boat, an old horse, that wreck of a house and a pretty young wife that he'd picked up the Lord knows where or how. The old man was trying to make a living cut- ting willow cordwood and floating it down in his flat to_Sacramento. We tellows cut the wood for him at 75 cents a day and chuck. One night there came along an old time ‘rustler.” He ’'lowed he'd never worked and he never intended to. He didn’t have a cont, but we all slept on the floor wherever we pleased in our own blankets, and he borrowed a blanket and did the same, For two or three dnys tho ‘rustler’ didn’t do anything but borrow tobacco and get credit on the whisky jug old Colonel Friday called his ‘bar.” Then a fellow came in from the San Joaquin wheat ficlds, where he‘d been harvesting, pretty flush. He was anippy sort of a fellow and thought he'd like to be a great gambler, The ‘“‘rustler” took him under instructions. Somebody had given him a cigar and he put that up against a short bit of a harvest-hand’s money and won. They played two days and a night steady, and then the ‘rustler’ had all the money of the man that came in from the San Joaquin—'bout $50 I reckon—so he went to work and made him a faro box out of an old cigar- box; marked out a lay-out with a piece of charcoal on a board and opened businets. Intwo dayshe owned everything we had in_the world, and on our backs to book, and the jug of whisky was empty. Then, when no one had anything more to bet, the ‘rustler' lay around yawning for a day or two while us fellows went to work, chopping wood and debating if we hadn’t better go through him and chuck him into the Mokelumne, We'd got the flatboat all loaded for atriptoSacramento by the third night after he'd closed his clgar-box bank, and we'd about determined to drown the ‘rustler’ afore we started for Sacremento in the morning, Well, when the morning came we looked in vain for the ‘rustler.’ The cues had taken the flatboat, put the old horse and jug on it, loaded up his plunder that had once all been ours, and taking old Colonel Fri- day’s pretty wife with him, had sailed away. The boat would get to Sacramento long before we could foot it there. and there wasn't an_animal within miles, soas he had o good eight hour's start, we knew he was safe enough, I eaw the old colonel sitting on & stump contented- ly chewing tobacco and looking at his old bankrupt wickiup, so I went to htm and sald for consolation, ‘protty tough, colo- nel.’ DBut the old man looked contented enough and only said, ‘thank Giod he didn't take the river, to; we've got lots of water left.” o —m— THE WHIPPING-VOST, An O)d, Famillia, one Re-enacted in Delaware, Newecastle Cor, Baltimore Amerlcan, ed at the pres ity courts for va criminal laws, re- art of their pun, this morning. oven prisoners, c¢ seasion of the rious infractions of ceived their corpora ishwent in the joid y ent A crowd of about four hundred people, including the rabblo and gamins of the city, witnessed the law's vindication and oxtracted much amusement from the writhing contortions of the suffering vic« tims, Sherifl Martin applied the ‘'oat” vigorously, holding it in his left hand and oracking itsmartly with telling effect over the shouldersand backs of the men bound to the posts, All the prisoners showed that the punishment waa severe, but some nerved themselves and stood the *‘cat” with but little cring- ing. The first prisoner brought out was idward Redden, convloted of horse steal- ing. At 10 »'olock the pillory was open- od and received his neck and wrists, He held the position one hour, evincing great anxiety to bo released toward the Iatter part of his stand. At 11 o’clock he was released and walked down the ladder, saying he felt quite as well as when he loft the cell. He was afterward given twenty blows with the “‘oat.” The fiest Yalf of them he bore falrly well, but the limt ten set his musclos trombling and panted his back and shoulders red. He tried vainly to dodge the blows, and looked first pleading and then defiantly into the shorif's stern face. George Stewart, the other white man whip- ped, was convicted of the theft of harness. Mo qot ten lashes, lightly laid on, his pukishmens being made as light as possible on account of his suffering with consumption. The blood began trickling down his back as he left the post. Harrison. Rothwell, alias Sugar Awful, a_notorious negro thief, who pleaded guilty to larceny on four indictments, got the most sovere punish. ment of any of the culprits, is son- tence was twonty lashes, and they were most vigorously laid on. Eacy stroke of the lash curled up the black skin in welte, but the young miscreant did not thow by his actions that the sheriff's blows wore terribly painful. James E. Groom, quite a8 notorious as Sugar Awfal, for his par- ticipation in thefts, was a candidate for twenty lashes. The cat was laid on heavily, but the thief grinned and bore the pain without an exclamation. Isaac Henderson recelved twenty lashes, well laid on. He squirmed and kicked a good deal, and gave vent to his feelinga in pro- fane exclamations, which, however, did not have any effoct upon the severity of the punishment. Goorge Norris and Frank Congo, for larcony, were punished with ten lashes each, which they bore without a murmur, the cat being lightly applied, e — GENTEEL KNOOKERS-OUT, Devotees to the Manly Art Among the Best Blood of Gotham, New York Telegraph. Herman Oeleichs is considered by all to b the most accomplished gontleman sparrer in America. He has taken lea- sons from ull the best teachers and has shown himself the superior of his instruct- ors. Those who have seen Mr. Oelrichs strike out with his left say there is much doubt if any of%the heavy weight pro- fessionals would care to have more than two or three rounds with him. Mr, Oel- richs is a patron of all sports. He stands about six feet eight inches in height and weighs 175 or 180 pounds. George Gould, under the 'able tuition | P! of Mr. Madden, is now perfectly able to stay four rounds with any gentleman of his weight aud inches. Jim Gladwin, the Wall streot broker, is to the gentlemen light weights what Herman Oelrichs is to the heavy weights. Many tales are recounted of Mr. Gladwin's surprising oleverness with the gloves. In the Interyals not devoted to specu- lationand yacMing, Washington E, Uo! ner is wont to don the mittens for triendly bout. He is very good, but has not taken enough lessons to warrant being placed among the best. Mr. Morosini, the elder, has devoted some time to the acquinition of spavring knowledgo and is expert. He could eastly have knocked out Schelling. A German army engineer named Von Steupel took lessons in New York two winters ago and used to trouble the best of them when an attempt was made to stop him. Mr. Kisler is one of the neatest boxers in the New York athletic club. Roacoe Conking’s sparring abilities are of a high order, but not such as to war- rant the publication of the pretty little stories printed from timo to timo about the retired statesman, Hels a devoted patron of the sport though, and will un- doubtedly occupy a box at Madison Sqhare Garden this evening.

FRIDAY, GRAND TRANSFORMATION me A 17 Year Ol Ohicago Girl Tarns Out to Be a Boy —A Cass Which Has Fow Parallols the Annals of Mod- ical Sclence, Chicago Teibune of October 11, The Tribune is able to lay beforo its roaders a well _attosted oase of a change in sex, probably one of the most romark- able ones in mediosl history, and which from the prominence of tho parties is sure to be of general interest. The family live in Chloago in a fine residonce upon fashionable thoroughfare, M. John C. Spry of the Gardnor & Spry Lumber company, is a well known, OCTOBER 17 18 imarily upon agitation for a reduction of the hours of labor to eight hours per day, and that strikes should not be on couraged exocpt when no other means are left for redrossing grievances. The con- viet labor issue will n:t be neglected. Tho eight hour aystem, however, 18 made the paramount question of the present and of the near future. Intelligent workingmen have at last learned what a fow of their leaders have known for years—that there can be no such thing as a brisk demand for lab.r, and that high wages are impossibio of attainment until the hours of labor sre so reduced that every mochanic willing and able to work can find employment. With an army idle now in every large oity of the union, thero can be no such thing as industrial freedom for the hewers of wood and wealthy and respectablo citizon. His residence is upon the northwest corner of Loomis and West Monroo streots, fronting Jeflerson park. His family consisted of four girl and three boys up to about two months ago. He now has four boys and three girls. The eldest daughter, Miss Eliza Spry, was married a fow years ago to Mr. John IHarvey, of the firm of Harvey Bros. clothiers, at No. 84 State street, butit is now a widow. THE HERO-HEROINE, The second daughter, Miss Harriot Spry, was always a favorite among her youthful ~companions, plagmates and school fellows, It was never suspected that she was other than what she seemed, a bright pratty girl, quick and intelligent learning easily and inclited to take the lead in childish games and sports. It was only when she was approaching ma- turity, at the age of 17, that she was un- consciously masquerading as a girl, and was in reality a boy. Tho intelligence camo in the nature of a shock to those who had been the intimato frisnds and playfellows of Miss Harriet, and as yet 1t is not a subject upon which the young women of the neighborhood talk to any great extent, In fact, thoy are inclined 1 think it a “put up job,” and resent any mention of thomatter with the deep- est feminine anger. The difficulty of learning the facts in this [remarkable case can hardly be im- agined, #nd a newspaper reporter, of all others, would be the last one to whom any information would be given. The facts are well known to all the women of the neighborhood, but the delicacy of the subject prevented any free conversation or expression of ‘'opinion, In most cases an application for ‘information was bluntly and positively refused. The physicians, though fully aware of the case in all its detaiis, had their lips closed by. professional etiquette. An applica- tion at the (residence of Mr. Spry was folly and not to be thought of. After a patient investigation of over a week the reporter was able to learn the true facts as given below, and they will be found to be substantially correot. THE HISTORY OF THE CASE. Miss Harriet, or Hattie, Spry, as she was familiarly called, was brought up asa girl, and consldered herself as such. Much care was spent upon her training and education, Sho attended the West Division high scheol, and was a frequent visitor to the nata'orium, where sho was cons dered an expert swimmer. IHer owerful frame and awkward movements and athletic manner excited suspicion among her girl friends. She made rapid drawers of water. | — KEELY'S MOTOK TESTED, A Number of New York Capltalists Pronounce the Trial Porfectly . Sucoessful, Philadelphia Proas, John W. Keely, the inventor, last evening gave a private exhibition of the power of his mystorious motor in the rosenco of & party of prominent New Cork capitalists, who came over to wit- ness the experimenis upon the invitation of 1 . G. Green, the prosident of the Keely Motor Company. The result of the jexperiments was very satisfactory, although they wero buta reproduction of provious tests made by Mr. Keely in tho presence of the direotors of the motor company. \J In his first oxperiment Mr, Koely charged his genorator with two goblets of water, which he injected into the reser- voir by means of his mouth. In loss than five seconds he charged the receiver with the etheric vapor, He communicated the forco through a long, slender, hollow brass tubo to a piston ospablo of with- standing a prossure of 28,000 pounds to the equare inch. The piston operated a lover, ann one end of which was a big fron boll weighing 670 pounds. With one explosion of the vapor this great weight was lifted as essily as though it wero a feather. Mr, Koely then added to the long arm of the lover another iron ball weighing 112 pounds, making the total weight 632 pounds. A second ex- plosion of vapor was made in two seconds by simply turning a stopcock on the gen- erator, and the two iren ball silently moved upward, showing that the vapor was exerting at the piston a force of 11,- 830 pounds to the squaro inch. Two gen- tlemen of the party then stepped on the long arm of the lever, and ware also easly lifted up, the pressure shown at tho piston being over 16,000 pounds to the squaae inch. Mr. Keely's next experimont with the tnotor gun he recently used it at Sandy Hook. The first bullet, of lead, nearly on inch in diameter, was projected through two blocks of wood, each ~ throe Inches thick and placed one foot apart. The holes in the wooden barricades were a8 olean as though bored by auger. The barrel of the gun was not heated by the projection of the missiles, Several shots were fired, and the bullets were flattened out as bigas asaucer and as thin as paper against a steel barricade. Some of the gontlemen present were afraid the and satiefactory progress with her studies. There came a time when a manly down atorned her upper lip. Her voice, too, deepened from its not unpleasant con- tralto, and was alternated with the full chest tones of a basso. The young women of the school were quick to see all these indications and their suspiclons were aroused. There begau to be nods and winks, and for the first time in her life Miss Hattie began to get the cold shoul- der. The matter was brought to the atten- tlon of the teachers, and Miss Hattie was sent home, while the young and old maidens breathcd more freely, and de- clared they never heard of such a thing gun would burst, 8o great was the power of propulsion developed, and sought ref- uge behind the large motor as yet uncom- pleted. The third experiment was with the small fitteen horse power motor. The connection with the motor and generator was made only after considerablo delay, it being found necessary to do considera- ble soldering of the joints in the tube leading from one machine to the other. Finally,shortly before midnight, this was accomplished, the otheric vapor was turned on, and the motor moved off as easily and regularly as it operated by a steam engine, Mr. IKeely regulated the revolutions at will. Efforts were made to stop the revolutions of the mo- in all their lives. A SURGICAL OPERATION, ‘When Miss Hattie had been at home some days she had a private and confid- ential conversation with her mother, which resulted in the calling in of an em- inent surgeon, Dr. Moses Gunun, well known in medical circles, and a prelimin- ary examination and corroboratory cir- cumstances decided all parties that an operation was necessary. When this was concluded Miss Harriet, now Harry Spry put on & suit of her borther's clothes, had her hair cut, bought a razor, and entered upon & new carecr as 4 young man. Harry did not call upon his old friends and playmates in his new character, nor did he make himself offensively conspic- ous about the house., In fact it was but a day or two when in company with his brother he departed for a school for boys and young men in the city of Boston, where at last accounts he was prosecut- ing his studies dilligently and fitting him- self for the battle of life. A number of physicians spoken with upon this very interesting case eay there are fow like it on record in the books of medical scienca. — — WORLD OF WAGHES Good Accomplished by Confederation of Federated Trades, THE the Chicago Mail, The congress of Federated Trades and Labor Unions of North America con- cluded its labors and adjourned yestor- day afternoon. The next session will be held at Washington, D, C., on the sec- ond Tuesday in December, 1885, The officers for the ensuing yearare: W, W, McOlelland, New York, president; Jas. W, Smith, Springfield, IIl.; Richard Powors, Chicago; James O'Sullivan, Philadelphia; Fred Blend, Evansville, Ind.; Wmn. Ogden, Clocinnati, and Joseph Bernard, Milwaukase, vice-presi- dents; Gabriel Edmonston, Washington, secretary; Robert Howard, Fall River, treasurer. The principal changes in the by laws are concerning revenues and ropresentation, In regard to the former it was concluded that organizations of 1,000 members or less shall pay $10 an- nually into the treasury of the federa. tion, and organizations exceeding membership of 1,000, 1 cent per member annually, Local or state trades’ sssem blies or Knights of Labor organizations with more than 1,000 members shall aleo pay 1 Jper cent. per momber annually, but in no case more than §26. In re- gurd to the representation, it was resolved that no orgenization which has seceded from the state or intornational union shall be entitled to a representa tion in the convention of the federation. I'he reesion which has just closed has boen satisfactory to those most interested fhere was little or no bickering, and each delegate scomed bent upon making a record of which ho may be proud, Two things of special importance were done both in lines marked out by the Knights of Labor, It was resolved that hence- forth all efforts shounld be concentrated tor, by means of an iron crowbar, but were without effect, ‘The motion was not preceptibly affected. In many respects it was the moat successful exhibition of the motor ever given. A very high and uniform rate of spoed was shown, and it was demonstrated by scientific tests that tho power developed was enormous—suf- ficlent to operate with equal case a five- hundred horse-power machine. The gen- tlemen present were delighted with the experiment. The final exhibition was that of an ingenious contrivance devised by Mr, Kooley to display asimple application of the etheric vapor. It consists of a rod of metal running from a very small recei- ver. One end of the rod was placed ugainst the support of a hollow brass globe set on an axis, By hitting the ro- ceiver and intensifying the vibrations over the rod the hollow globe was made to revolve so rapidly as to produce a sound like that made by a buzz-saw. Three cheers were given for Mr, Keely at the end of the experiments, It Was Mr, St. John, New York Sun, Secretary—Hero isa telegram from ono of the presidential candidates asking for a special train.
