An Oakland Merchant Asked Some Embar- rassing Qmestions by His Creditors AN OFFICER ~ THAT IS TOO PUBLIC. The Woes of the City Clerk—A Busi- ness Failure in Neola—-Cove Light—A Charcoal Dispute ~~Minor Mention. W, 8. Bruen of Oakland, Ta., the merchant who opencd the new year by making au as- slgnment, was before Judgo Smith yesterday afternoon by an order requiring him to ap- pear and answer interrogatories in regard to his finances, some of his creditors not being satisfled with tho showing made by bis as- signment. The hearing was the first judicial duty which the uew judge has been called on to perform. The order was issued some days ago, but Bruen couid not bo found, he having departed for Nebraska soon after the assign- ment, and it being thereforo impossible to get service. On his veturn the summons was served, and Mr, Bruen appeaved in person yesterday, Attorney Benjamin fired most of the ques- tions, and was assisted by Attorney Askwith and by Attorney Murphy. Colonel Daily ‘T Genung looked after Mr. Bruen's ts, ard L. was mainly concerning a certain deed to eral hundred acres of land which Bruen had sold to his brother. The was dated last October, but was not put record until just about the time of the as- signment, The property was valued atabout £14,000. Mr. Bruen was called upon to ex- plain this suspicious looking transaction. He admitted having requested his brother not to make the decd public for a time and ever since the sale had still claimed to be the owner. Ho insisted, however, that the deed was made ot the date mentioned fn the instru- ment and that it was for a bona fide cousider- ation. He then proceeded to answer numerous questions in regard to deals between himself and his brother, it appearing that he had also s0ld to his brother about $2,600 worth of accounts, and also his interest in the stock ards at Oakland. He had also sold to his prother his horses, and other property. He was called on to account for the results of these sales, which he did in the main by the claim that his brother having endorsed with him in borrowing money, his brother used the money in payment of such indebteds He admitted that certain store property in Oakland was owned by his wife, although what money had been paid on the property was paia by him. He had represented to his creditors and others that the property be- longed to him, He also admitted that there were several thousand dollars in notes and accounts which he had not turned over tothe assignee, be- cause he did not deem them worth anything, He would cheerfully turn them overif any one so requested and would take for them anything which any one might offer, as he did ot value them at anything, It was also drawn out that Bruen had col- lateral in the bank at Oukland, and also at Burlington, to secure claims for money bor- row He had put neither these linbilities uor the assets in his schedule, because he thought they were about equal, and the banks had control of the securities, so he could not turn them over. e The most complete line of blankets and comforters, hosiery and underwear in the city 1s at the Boston Store,where good goods, low prices, cash and one price to all1s their rule.

Mrs. Jane McCoombs applied to Justice Patton yesterday for a warrant for the ar- rvest of & mau named Harris, whom she charges with the ruin of her daughter in a very remarkable manner, Last summer her daughter Maggie and young Harris left the city together, and when they returned an- nounced their marriage. They were domi- ciled in the McCoombs mansion, and Harris continued his duties as a waiter in Louie's restanrant. On the Oth of September the mother-in-law bad a quarrel with Harris, and gave him such a thumping before he could get away that he concluded bis life was in danger. He filed an information charging her with assault and battery with intent to do great bodily injury. She wasarrested and senten ed to pay a fine of §11.70. Not having the means of liquidating she spent several days in the city jail.

Several sacks of charcoal were taken under the writ, where- upon Wise had & warcant issued for tho ar- rest of the officer and Weathrell, with whom he had left the charcoal. He afterwards stated his williueness to deop the case, how- ever, claimiug that he did not know that Evans was anoficer until after the arrest Wus made. ——— . Covell's Light, Another chapter was added to the serial history of the Covell eleccric light scheme yesterday, The examinaiion of the affair can only progress as Judge McGiee can spare time from other business, and when the case is on the boards it is dragged along by tedious detailed questionings.

Besides keeping track of all the council's business, which in- cludes that of the committees and the co-or- dinate branches of the city government, he is clerk of the superior court. To assist him in his work he has been given a coupleof deputies, and it requires the combined efforts of these three men to keep the office from being swamped. City Clerk Stephenson, the prasent incumbent, is one of the most inde- fatigable workers, and at the same time one of the-most obliging men who have held the tion, His duties are so onerous that at east once or twice a week he is compelled to work until midnight to keep his official head above the tide of business that is con- tinually fiowing inupon him. With all this work crowding upon him he has been given the poorest and most exposed quarters inthe city building. The physical discom- forts of his office are simply appalling. A narrow little alleyway is fenced off by a wire screen from the front end of ' the building, which has two doorways. Through these doors all the people who have busines: transact in the building must come, and t are swinging backward and forward con- stantly, letting in blasts of frigid air. But this could be endured, and if it were not for a more serious and intolerable nuisance Clerk Stephenson would not complain. Connected with the city building and occupying a dark closet n the clerk’s officeis the weighmaster's office. Thisis fully occupied by the happy little weighmastes and bis big weights, and when the erowds of wood haulers, farmers and marketmen of all grades and dispositions gather at the market place they have no other shel than that afforded by the clerk’s offlce, and in the narrow hallway and around the big stove that furnishes heat for half of the building is often congregated a chattering, smoking, often loudly smeiling croud of thoughtless, careless-hearted mor- tals, whose whoops and yells are sufficient to drive a mtn of ordinary nerves insane. Yesterday morning they were standing one to every square footin the little space, all talking at once, smoking corn-cob pipes and spitting tobacco juice on the hot stove. Clerk Stephenson and Deputy Abbott were endeav- oring to complete the reports for the council meeting, footing up long columns of figures, but the uproar was so great that the clork closed the books in despair and Abbott tried to imitate t he sounds familiar to country barnyards. *“The fact is,”” said onc of the officers, ‘‘we are bothered more than you can imagine, and Tdo not see how we really get through our work at all. The crowds that collect here every day e an intolerable nuisance and 1 wish the city council had to enjoy it with us, * There should be some sort of a place fitted up for the market people to stay in during bad weather when they are waiti to dispose of their stuff. It costs the city extra help more than the expense of such a building would amount to.” Why pay $1.50 when you can get jnst as xnad'nm and beds at the Scott house for .00 Avcea Jurymen.

Whitney, a prominent hardware and implement dealer of Neola, was closed yesterday afternoon upun attachments levied by & number of creditors. For some time it has been #umored that Whitney's financial condition was not the best, but it was hoped by his friends that he would receive aid, and thus be enabled to weather tue storm. A report that he was about to sell out his stock brought macters to a crisis, however, and one after another the creditors began to come in clamoring for their money, Four suits, aggreguting in all about 1,700, were filed early in the after- noon, and it is said there are stilt a number of other parties to be heard from. ‘Whitney has been in business in Neola .for about two years past, he having bought out the estavlishment formerly owmed by C.

Abor, The Boy Was Little, But He Had the Pluck of Four Men, Old Raf Durrance, who lives on Lake Josephine, below Crewsville, twenty miles south of Avon Parlk, is the most famous bear hunterin sdl south Florida. The old man hus & wifd ‘and three re- markably bright boys, the oldest four- teen or fifteen, the nd nearly twelve and the third much younger, writes a correspondent of the New York World. Dave, the sturdy, short-legged, under- sized second son, is the hero of this story. Wednesday last,” said a New Yorker who had just returned from this rogion, “'alittle party was made up to hunt a bear that aad been seen in the vicinity of Lake Josephine, five miles west of old Raf’s shanty, and little Dave and two neighbors were of the number that started out, the boy being armed with an ordinary double-barreled, muz- 2 oading gun, about as heavy as he could cavry ““It appeurs that when the party ar- rived in tho vicinity of the spot where the bear had been seen little Dave be- came separated from the rest, and o few moments later got on the track of Mr. Bruin. He followed, and at length, in the neighborhood of a big swamp, caught sight of his game, a black bear of more than three hundred pounds weight. *‘The boy hurried forward, and taking aim at a vital spot, fired. The bear was hit, and turning with o growl of rage, mado straight for the plucky youngster. Dave waited until he was within thirty feet or so and then let him have the other barrel in the neck ““But the bear still came on, and as there was no time for fooling, little Dave lit out for the swamp as fast as his sturdy, duck legs wound carry him. e swamp was 4 jungle of the very worst deseription, full of vines, and soon poor Dave was lm{mlo:«\ y entangled, being caught in the vinesand fairly lifted from the soft, treacherous earth. “The bear was close behind, #nd upon reaching the lad he reared himself upon his hind legs, and seizing him in his powerful grasp, fairly tore him from the climbers, then fastening his teeth in his left hip, bit through to the bone. “No wonder the boy screamed. His ery was heard by his two dogs, far away with the rest of the party. and they came rushing to the rescue, One of them seized theangry bear by the throut and worried him so that he dropped his prey, and eatehing hold of the dog began hugging him till you could fairly hear bis bones crack. “The natural supposition would be that the boy, wounded and axhausted as he was when he found himself free, would have left the dog to his fate and sought safety in flight. He had held on to his gun until he was torn from the climbers, and now, picking it np, he rushed at the bear, managed in some way to get the muzzle into his mouth, and began prodding it down his throat; yelling at him all the time to ‘jist let go 0’ that thar’ dog. *And now came a desperate fight— boy, dogs and bear—boy gathering cour- age with every jab, dogs howling and barking and bear savige and dete mined. Butat length the unyielding metal of the gun was too much for bruin, he dropped the dog, and with a fierce and angry growl madeé for the boy. “Little Dave turned to rum, but tripped up, and in another moment the bear was once more upon him, Just then came a loud shout, and Durrance’s two neighbors appeared in the distance. “The boy, with renewed courage, man- aged to regain his feef, and again, firmly grasping his gun, he rushed at the bear. Bruin reared himse.f and made an effort to seize the boy in his fatal clasp, but theeffort was futile, the two shots and the persistent clubbirg had at length done their work, and after beuting the air wildly for a moment he fell over dead, just as the two men arrived upon the scene. Then the boy, overcome at tast by pain and exhaustion, fell to the ground. “They raised him up, and carrying himto the shore of the lake, bathed his face, breast and hip. “The hoy moved and uttered a sigh which was almost a moan, The elder of the two men bent over him and ina kindly tone sai i hat were a close call for yer, Davy, my boy, an’ you're purty much used up, reckon?’ ‘“Now you've said somethin’, mur- mured the boy, in a low but decided tone, ‘I jest got that thar b'ar for sure, all th’ same.’ R it MONEY-MAKING GIRLS, Some Suggestions Which They Will do Well to Heed. Hundreds of thousands of girls havea great desire to make a little money, ana I don’t know whether to call it a laud- able one or not. Iam not a believer in girls going out into the world to work unless it is uhsulumly necessary, says a writer in the Ladies’ Home Journal, But when it is then I want them to do it in the right way; I want them to think that every particieof work they do, is done not only for their own sakes, not only for their employers—it, must be »ight and honest in the sight of God. A very clever woman not very long ago wrote an arti- cle about working women, and in it she used this beautifulquotation of Ruskin’s: —*"Queens you alwaysshould be. Queens to your lovers, to your husbands, to your sons; queens of a higher mystery to the world beyond,” But she did not put the rest of the quotation, and in thut }ma the story of the non-suc¢ess of many girls, This is it—*"But, alas! you are too often idlo and carcless queens, grasping at majesty in the least things, while you abdicate in the greatest.” With only the hope of making money your work will be worth little, und cer- tainly not be worthy f consideration by noble minds or by &he &tuud God who watches over you day and night. You girls hurt yourselvé®, hurt your work, make it of 1oss value ahll yourselves less respected because you 50 m\lh'cl{ draw the line at what you'will and what you will not do. That Which your hands find to do is “he duty before you, and the woman who, umxluycd in a counting house, finds = it but little trouble to kegp her desk in order and, when sfie has time, to straighten up somébody else’s who hasn’t the time, is the woman whose work is going to be noted and counted valuable, The woman who announcing that she must get work or starve, and who is not willing to be at her desk at 8 o'clock in the morning deserves to starve. The womun who knowing that for a certain number of hours she should in honor give her time to her employer, is but u poor worker when ten minutes after the hour finds her arriving, und five minutes before the hour to go away sees her getting her cloak ready and arranging for her out door costume. The good workman docsn’t drop the pen or the hammer at the stroke of the hour, he finishes first that which he is doing, for his heart is in his work, and that'’s the way it must be with you girls if you want to succeed or make even'a little money,” SOCIA NS, Be Your Own Landlord Figuras, The University building association has issued a civcular which, being gen- al in its character, will prove of serv- ice to building soclety students, says the Publie Ledger. Some of the features are as follows: It is o well established fact that sys- tematic methods of saving always pro- duce better results spasmodic efforts, If you can save each month, in from ten to twelve years you will receive #200; if $10 each month you will receive $2,000, Atall times you will have the privilege of withdrawing all you have )u\h], and after one year a percentage of the profits. The object is not only to induce you to save money systematically, but also to aid you in ~Netor Gross purchasing a home or real estate. This s accomplished by loaning you the money at 6 per cent. and taking o mort- gage on the property for nearly its total cost. To illustrate: Su be for five shares of stock and your monthly in- stallment is #5 (we will take it for granted that prior tothis time, like most yourg people, your earnings have al- ways been expended, and you have been unable to save anything.” In two ye rom January, 1801, you will] have standing to your credit say $123.° Just prior to this time look around among some of the small houses in Philadelphia which are constantly being sold for #1,000, purchase oné, assigning tothe association a mortgage of 00 and your shares of stock. This kind of property will easily rent for $12 a month, which will more than pay your monthly in- stallments, the interest on the mort- gage, the taxes and repairs upon the property purchased. In other words, your tenant will purchase the property or you within the next ten or twelve years from 1891, and all you will actually ever have contributed out of your own pocket will be the $120 which you paid during 1891 and 1892, This may be read by some young who is paying $20 house rent on a piece of prop- erly worth $2,000, and this same house may be being paid for by his landlord through some of the numerous builaing associations of this City of Homes, Would you like to become the owner of this home yourself if you could afford it and knew how to accomplish the same? ilave you some good friend who would loan you $300, or have you reaily saved #3007 If so, buy the house you now oc- cupy, or equally as good, for $2,000; pay cash down $300; subscribe for eight and one-half shares of stock, and the society will lend you $1,700 to pay the balance due, taking as security for the loan_a first’ mortgage on tho property. Your payments will be $17.00 per month, With the difference be- tween this $17.00 and the reut you ar now paying, $3.00, vepay the friend who 80 kindly loaned you the $300, if you are wore compelled to borrow; if not 5o com- pelled, use this $36 a year toward pay- ing your taxes and repairs, und at the expiration of ten or twelve years you will be the owner of your own home ind not have any more, or but little more, burdened than you are at the present time by paying” money to a landlord. In other words, be your own landlord. i Sa e SHE LOCKED MOTHER IN, Ma ie Harley Avoids the Coal Scut- tle and Elopes. “Tasy, now, Mamie: wait till I get hold of you.” Then Mamie climed over the baluster, and with the aid of a rope slowly low- ered herself from the second floor of No. 136 Delancey street, New York ci where her lover was waiting for her on the ground floor. Mamie got down safely, and after her lover had impressed a sweet kiss on her cherry lips, they hurried out into the street, and half an hour later tk boarded a train on the Pennsylvania railroad for Philadelphia, It was an elopement. Pretty Mamie Harley, & real beauty, only sixteen years of age, had discarded her mother’s com- mands and hastened away with the man she loved, Joe Wolf, a young gambler, says the New York Morning Journal. Mamie was the only child, and though but sixteen years of age was decidedly well developed, with great black eyes, rosy cheeks and tiny hands and feet. ntil the day before Christmas she had worked in the cigarctte fac- tory of Duke’s Sons, Second avenue, near I'orty-second street, At the factory she was always con- sidered the best of girls und was never known to have beaux. But if the truth was know, she usea to meet Joe at the elevated station at Forty-second street and he used to pay her fair down town. Joo, though a gambler, was honest and wanted to marry Mamie, but her mother would not have it, She said Joe was a fraud, and put him out of her rooms on Delancey street. But ~Joe was persistent and planned an elopement with pretty Mamie, Mrs. Harley caught on to the little scheme, but said nothing about it. * She decided to catch her daughter in the act of eloping und banish her forever. Allday Monday and Tuesday Mamie was busy gathering her things together in a large gripsack. She had not been to work since the day before Christmas, though she had been out every day. Mrs, Harley overheard a conversation which told her that Mamie and Joe were to start at 2 o’clock yesterday morning. Then she told a friend of hers, Mrs, Donohue, who lives down stairs, all about it. They had a long talk over the matter and decided to fix a trup for the unfaithful child, Accordingly at midnight a teap was set on the stairs, so that Mamie would make a noise when she started. But Mamie had followed her mother and heard all the plans, Mvs, Harley vetired early, and when she thought Mamie was not looking fixed a coal scut- tle and several other things on the stairs, Mamie witnessed all her mother did and then placidly locked her in her room. When the time of appointment came 1o meet Joe, Mamie hurried into the hall and lowered her gripsack to the lower hall by a rope which she took from her bed. Joe insisted on coming up stairs, but just as he started Mamie grasped the rope and began to climb down the outside of the staivs, Joe knew enough to wait for her and helped her when she was almost down, Then they hurried to Jersey City, and nothing hus been heard of them since. Yesterday morning Mrs. Harley told her story ai the Eldridge strest police station, and said that she would have ;»Vulfurresl,ed us soon as she could find him, At Browning's Palace in Vealca, Nowhere is the memory of Robert Browning preserved more generall on the lips of men than in Venice, says the Chicago Herald. His son’s palace on the Grand canal is now as much one of the regulation “‘sights” as the Palazzo Mocenigo, where Byron lived. Every gondola is stopped, when making the tour of the canul, opposite the Palazzo Rezzonico, “That ‘u where the great English poet died,” says the gondolier, “It is a very magnificent palace and its cost.” added one of them the other day —whether truly or not, we do not know —*+400,000 francs. But it is very cold, and the Signor Browning caught his death in its passages.” Naturally the poet went about in gondolas a great deal and the visitor to Venice may often find himself with a gondolier who boasts of having known ‘your grfat English What is ? Best in the market. Telephone 48. market. any other lowa coal. All kinds of Wood and Coal. poct.” Browning must have been fond of talking with the gondoliers, for he is remembered as very simpatico—one can- not translate the word, for the English language lacks any single equivalent for that e vo and wide-embracing adject; —_— “all, ALL GONE Poor Welsh Annie Jones Has a €ad Time Finding her Sweetheart. On the Atlantic express over the Fort Wayne road that passed through Pitts- burg the other day was a passenger who was a young girl about twenty years of ageand very pretty. The mournful ex- on of her face, together with her wollen eyes, attracted the atten- tion of the other travelere, and some of the ladies on the train, in trying to com- fort her, learned her sad story, which was as follow Her name was Annie Jones, and her home was in one of the unpronounce- able towns in Southern Wales, Great Bri n, Her father had a small store there, and was looked on as being quite well off. Annie also had a lover to whom sho was dovoted and expected to marry inashort time. About two years ago her lover got a letter from a friend who had gone to California, telling how well he was doing and what magni chances wers to be had there by every one. This letter so worked on the young man that he determined to come to this country, and when he showed it to his betrothed’s father the latter also said he would come. The old man sold out his store, and with his wife and daughter’s lover started for America and California. They left Annie be- hind with some relatives and promised tssond for her as soon as they were set- tled. Eighteen months after they left, or six months ago, Annie got a ' letter enclosing a draft for $200, and teiling her to come to San Francisco at onee, as they were all doing well there, and as soon as she would arrive she would be married to the man she loved. The young girl started, and less than one month after she got the letter was in San Francisco. No one met her, though, and she began to search for her parents. She told her story to the authorities and they tried to aid her in the search, but it was all without avail, and no trace of them could be had. It was not long until all her money was one, and then she went to work as a servant in a_private family and devoted all her carnings to keeping up the hunt for her parents and lov No word could be had of them in any way and afew weeks ago she became discouraged and gave ap the chase. Then she actermined to leave the place where she hud had so much sorrow and veturn to her own country, where she still had friends. The poor girl's sad story was kuown in San Francisco to some good-hearted people, who made up w genorous purs for her, that was enough to tuke her back to Wales, and then started her on her journey home. Passengers * wao have heen with her say she has wept nearly all the time and they would not be surprised il she were to become insane. She has no iden of what has become of her parents and loyer and can offer no explanation of their mysterious disappearance. The girl says all she wants to do is to go home to die, e A Great Dog Gone.

' WASPS' Panic Oreated by the stinging Insects, Dogs Fight the Buzzers, There was u funny occurrence some time ago on Platt street wharf, at Balti- more. A sailor on an oyster pungy, which had been cruising about the oys- ter grounds off Mogothy river, landed with a dilapidated looking watermelon under his right arm, The marin en- tered a nearby saivon and laid the piece of fruit down, It being uiittle late in the season for melons o crowd gathered around to look at the sailor’s find, and several of them emphatically expressed doubts as to the soundness of the melon. The sailor, ine nocent of what was inside of it, said, to prove the melon was in good shape, he would plug it befors carrying it to his best girl, to whom he intended to pre- sent it. He did so, and upon uxtl‘u«:lius a piece of the vind about one hundre wasps flew out and made things lively about the place, It seems that the melon was somewhat overripe, and while lying neglected in its bed a family of wasps had bored a small hole in one end of it and taken up th abode therein, The man who brought it to town rushed out of the place with several of the insects settling down upon his fuce, and in his hurry he knocked over an [talian fruit stand, fell on a cat, which was nearly crushed to death, and nearly knocked two police men into the dock. The restaurant man his gy left hi o, ) put out his gws aud uthldvanw the wasps,
