Easter Joan, Mamio B. B. and Bunjarnin will probably finish in tho order named when tho first raoo is finished. Honost Tom and Little Phil may mako it interesting for tho other three. Violettn should lead the string of 2 year olds in the sccoud event, with Anglo and Jaklo Josephs may llumish another upet.

Tho third race may go to an outsider, owing to the heavy imposts on Clement. Adair, Gray Eaglo and Xoonduy. At tho weights. Eolo Bhould win, with Clement, Grey Eaglo and I. O.

U. battling for the places. Clement and Groy Eaglo ought to be tho successful ones. Airplant, if in form, should beat out Mabel Glenn in the fourth race. Eclipse may finish third.

At tho mile King Crab, Blizzard and Dicker son will probably mako tho running in tho order. Emblem, Laurol and Bob Sutherland are also good third horses. The sixth race looks like a Gloucester ovent, with Kerry Gow, Jny Qu El, Jim Dunn and Homo Rule as top woights. Jay Qu El may win, with Skeedaddle second and Kerry Gow third.

Skeedaddle, Kerry Gow. A METHODIST MISSION" FOn CHINESE. latter is playing at prosent. Beginning on Friday, August 18, Brooklyn has eighteen games at hom: with tho Western clubs. The ssrlcs will decide where tho team is likely to finish.

Comiskoy has "ngflgod 'Ivo new players. They aro an outfielder, a first baseman, a catcher ami two pitchers. Ward has released and others will probablv follow. Comiskey intends rotlro from tho field and take up the rnau agomout of tho team. Tom Tucker has been cidentally hit by pitched balls sixtoon The more ho is hit' tho livelier ho becomes, and it soems to help his voice.

Manager Barnic or LouUvillo attempted to make a raid on the Macon team of the Southern league, but fnilod. He rr.alo an offer for Twitouoll, Gillen and Donnelly, but tho base ball public of tho Georgia 'own ruse up and subscribed money to koop them thoro. Thoy call tho first of a two game a day attraction tho curtain raiser in St. Louis. The rhilndclphias are quitting.

One writer says "It begins to look a though the Phillies were truly on the downward trip. Only one game has bean won by the team in the last six, and suroly. if they cannot take two games from Boston, thoy can hardly complain if other cIudb full to do so. They have made but ton hits in two enmes ajainst Boston, while their pitchers havo been hit hard. UnloS6 they stop the losing streak vory shortly all chaacos of securing third ponnant or even getting second or third placo will bo out of the question, as Pittsburg ana Cleveland aro coming to the front with rapid strides." Tho Wagner brothers are getting a bad routing from the Washington press for transferring games to other cities.

Arrangements aro now being made to transfer two games to Philadelphia and threo to Cloveland. Speaking editorially about tho Richardson trouble, Klohtor of the Sporting Life says "tt is a pity that Richardson's connection with the Brooklyn club turned out so badiy for all concerned. No man had a bettor chunco to mako himself solid in Brooklyn than Richard son, as ho went there with a big roputation, nt once bejatne a popular favorite, and was highly thought of by the management at tho beginning of tho season. The esteom in which he was held is shown by the fact that the olub not only p.lii out a big sum in cash for his release iroin Washington, but tho club beside paying him a big salary, assumed part of tho old war time contract with tho Washington club owner, which tho club was ignorant of when it bought his release, merely to koep Richardson satisfied, and givo him an incentive to do good work. Richardson's tailuru to appreciate such generosity and kindness not only reflects upon himself, but upon the entire profession.

Ball players havo been, in season and out, charged with being as a class markedly ungrateful uml un nppreciativo ol good treatment. Such cases as itiehardson's lend weight to the charges, hence Richardson's offense is not only against tho Brooklyn club but against his own class." lliv. Itecont to Date, I'nst To For Olnlis. Won.

Dr. Talmoge, who has just completed a lecturing tour in tho South and West, is stopping at prosent at Easlbnmpton. L. His residence is an attractive one, set in beautiful surroundings, and thoro the popular divine finds much recuperation after his hours of study. Yesterday, in conversation with a re porter, ho discussed tho prcsont financial condition of the country, and dealt out some advice.

Tho three things, ho said, for tho restoration of tho country's prosperity nro tho repeal or the Sherman silver bill, big crops and a general hopefulness on the part of tho people. A few men, according to the doctor, aro responsible for the panics which sometimes disconcert peoplo and injure a year's contentment. Colorado, even it her silver is depreciated in value, will have nn opportunity of making up for the loss in the sizo and quality of her crops, because the European markots must buy of America's abundance. POLITICIAJiS WENT AFISMSG. J'wonty ciffuth Warders Ulado Their Way to Old Mill Creek "Venterday.

Old Mill creok, In tbo Twenty sixth ward, was visited by a jolly party of Twenty ci hth ward politicians yosterday afternoon. At. 1 1 o'clock they started from thoir headqur.rterc on Park avonue, corner of Clermont, in taliy ho coaches. They stopped at tho Old mill road house. In anticipation of meeting so many of his friends, Mr.

Phelan ha'd prepared a substantial dinner of fish and other good things, a'ter which ho took them aboard tho yacht Amity, under command of Captain Martin Scherman, for a sail to Rockaway Beach. In tho party, among others, were Warden l'etor J. Doyio, C. Doyle, Police Surgeon Dr. D.

Callahan, ex Supervisor C. Malcolm Anderson. William J. Jennett, James Devine, Dominicli Devine, Thomas Murthn, Henry Pugh, William Pugh, Michael Leonard, Michael Mullndy, Eernard Sweeney, Daniel McGoldriek and James Weaver. SUNDAY AT GSEENPOET Hugh McLaughlin Passed It Free From Visitors.

Politicians Have Discovered That He Will Xot Be Bothered With Them Jnst Xow Church in the Jlorning and Silence and Children for the Rest of the Day The Wife of Deputy Commissioner Mnrtha III. Special to the Eagle. reexport, L. Augu3t 7 Hugh McLaug lin's Sunday was passed in a manner that would havo excited tho admiration of the most carping of his critics. He arose at A.

took his favorite seat on the lawn of the Booth house, and for nearly two houcs enjoyod the peace, the quiet and the salty fragrance of Peoonic bay. Half an hour bofore the thunder of tho breakfast gong broko'the hush of tha morning, Colonel Kerrigan and Deputy Commissioner Murtha joined him. Seated in a lino the trio fixed their eyes on the wooded stretch on tho other side of the bay and spake not Other guests of the house made their appearance by and by, but tho habits of the Democratic leader and his companions are pretty well understood by this time and nobody ventured to break upon their meditations, even with the conventional. "Good morning." Breakfast ovor, McLaughlin, some members of his family and Korrigan wont to church. Mr.

McLaughlin had discarded the freo and easy costume that is his every day wear t.nd appeared in a swell gray suit and silk hat. The dark purple umbrella which he carried seemed somewhat unnecessary, in viow of the boiled lobstor tan already on his face. The balance of the day was spent in restful fashion. Except at meal times Mr. McLaughlin moved not from his chair on the lawn.

His associates already named flanked him right and. left. What conversation passed' betwoen the three was monosyllabic, and for the most part dealt with the weather. The only persons able to. awaken Mr.

McLaughlin from his semi lithargio condition were tho children of tho house. If people whom babies and youngsters love b3" instinct have lots of good in them, then Mr. McLaughlin, other statements to the contrary, must be only a fow removes from a seraphim; for the little ones of the Booth houso simply worship him, and he obviously returns thoir affection. They crawl over him, thoy stick burrs on his garments, thev havo on his whiskers that would turn a ward heeler green with envy, they polt him with pebbles, they insist on his mending their llshing lines and they embarrass his progress by dinging to his logs, his arms and his neck. Somehow or other at such times he and iiis chubby parasites suggost the period when the lion shall lie down with the lamb and the lamb remain outside the person of the lion.

At 10 P. when the last of tho three cigars which ho allows himself doily was reduced to ashes, and after a final squint at the weathor quarter of tho sky, Mr. McLaughlin went to bod. And so the day ended. Either tho Eagle or their personal experiences has taught local politicians that it is not to their interest to trespass on the retirement of Mr.

McLaughlin. Be it as it may. tho fact remains that he was absolutely free from visitors yestorday. Lawyer Thomas E. Pearsnll came over from Shelter Island, where he and his family are spending the summer.

He also called on Saturday, but his viBits in each instance were of the briefest nature. They were unconnected with politics or business and may be summarized as one shako of the hand and two funny stories. Speaking of stories, Mr. Murtha has aohievod a magnificent reputation hero as a raconteur of the first water. Not only is this so in regard to tho guests of the Booth hou3o, but long, lank and leather skinned Long Islands cap'ns have got into the habit of tying up their craft to the little pier and coming ashore, nominally for water, actually to induce Mr.

Murtha to spin a yarn. This and tho general jollity has been dampened by the severe illness of his'wife, however. She is suffering from dysentry aud internal inflammation. On Saturday her condition was distinctly Yestorday and to day, howevor, she was much hotter. The fame of the boss is abroad in the land.

Y'esterdny a long string of prehistoric vehicles filed post in front of the house, the rustic occupants thereof being only too happy if they succeeded in getting a glimpse of tho groat man. The driver of a typical straw ride got so enthusiastic when he saw Mr. McLaughlin that ho nearly steered his horses into the bay. Paul Potter, late of "Town Topics," exercises a garrulous and autocratic rule over one of tho dinner tables. Amelie Glover nnd her husband were down last week.

Dr. Carroll came down on Saturday. The Rov. Dr. H.

C. Swentzel of St. Luke's P. E. church, Brooklyn, his wife and family, are hero for the summer.

With them is Miss Mary Manness of Scranton, who easily carries off the honors of Booth house bellodom. WIXXISG STABLES AT BRIGHTON BEACH. Father Bill Hair's Leads by a Big Majority. The following is a list of stables that havo won money at the BrightDn Beach meeting: W. C.

An east bound freight train broke la two while it was being coupled together on tho iron bridge over tho North Fork river.

Another oust bound freight train came around the sharp curve to tho west of tho bridge, and a tromon dous collision occurred. The shock knocked two spans of tho bridge off tho piers into tlia river sixty thros foot below. The engine and ttronty oight cars, eompeshas; tho second train, and four cars of tho first train went down with tho bridge. All of the crow of the first train escapod. Engineer Daniel O'Connor of tho second train jumped off his engine before the bridge was reached.

rHis fireman, Frank Fiannegan, wont down with tho engine, but he cleared the wreck and was found wading around in the water in a nearly unconscious condition. Conductor Grow had his logs crushed and received severe internal injuries. Head Brakemau Stone is buried at ths bottom of tho wrejk. A tramp bricklayer, named Charles was badly hurt. Ha says several other tramps boarded tho train'' at Urbana and" were killed in the wreck.

A large, force of men wero at work clearing away tha wreck, but no remains havo been found.

Charles Jackson, a brick mitson, was soriously injured. He claims that ho and seventeen other orickiriasons wore beat ing their way East in a gram ear and that all tho others aro killed and that their bodies are at the bottom of tho river.

His story created intense excitement, but as only one body has been found, it is beliovod that lie is mistaken. The loss will exceed 5100.005 to tho railroad company.

137 And Injured Five in the Twenty sixth "Ward Yesterday. A Fishing Party Returning From Jamaica Bay Struck by a Bolt, With Singular Results The Storm Extended to Most of the Xearby Seaside Resorts A Lively Scare at Rockaway Beach. The thunderstorm of last evening swept over Cannrsie, Jamaica bay, Coney Island, Rock away and seaside resorts along the Long Island and New Jersey oonsts, doing slight damago in a good many places and badly frightening tho throngs of excursionists who filled every availnble spot by tho water side. An East Xew Y'ork fishing party returning from Jamaica bay was struck by lightning. Frederick Siegling, 37 years old, of 150 Xow Jersey avenue, and Lizzie Tobel, 5 years old, of Blake avenue, near Linwood, wore killed.

Ernst Tobol, 47 yoars old, father of Lizzie, ana his two other children, "William and Charles, 7 and 3 years old, wore stunned and injured so as to require medical attention. John Meyer, 13 years old, of Sutter avenue, was so badly hurt that he was sont to St Mary's hospital in an ambulance. Peter Meyer, his father, was slightly hurt. Andrew and Fritz Siegling, brothers, are part owners of a boat house at the Old Mill landing. As is thoir usual custom, they spent Saturday night nnd yesterday fishing and sailing on Jamaica bay.

"While going homo they had reached the corner of Berrlmnn street and Hegoman avenue, in company with Ernst Tobel and his children, PeterMeyer and his son, John, and Charles Merz. When tho thnnder storm came up Lizzie Tobel became frightened and screamed, when Fritz Siegling remarked to his brother: "Andrew, you take the basket and I will carry that man's little girl to help him along." Fritz went back, picked the child up in his arms ana had walked but twenty feet when the bolt of lightning struck thorn, killing him and Lizzie instant ly and severely shocking Ernst Tobel and his two children. Charlie, aged 3, and Willie, aged 7. and John Meyer, aged 13. Strange to say, tho 2 year old Afbert Tobel, who was bolng carried by his father, received no injuries at all.

Tho throe younger Tobel childrea had come out to meet tlaoir lather, and he, although pnralyzod from tho knees down by tho shock, crawled to them and rendered them all the assistance in his power. Charles Morz took the dead child, Lizzie, in his arms and ran with hor to the home of her parents, Blake avenue and Linwood street, where the father and the rest of the children soon nfter arrived. Peter Meyer picked his unconscious son, John, up and hailing a passing wagon took him to the police station from where he was taken to St. Mary's hospital. Tho boy is doing very well and no serious consequences nre expected.

Iu the meantime sevoral persons had gone to give an alarm and the police patrol wagon made its appearance and took the body of Fritz Siegling to tho undertaking establishment of Mr. Dinninger, 497 Liberty avonue. "Mr. Siogling lived at 150 New Jersey avenue, with his wifo and two children, a boy and a girl, aged 15 and 12, and was a custom tailor. His wife was not informed of the accident until about 10 o'clock last night.

She is subject to epileptic attacks and it was feared ths news would affect her soriously, but she received it very quietly. Tobel is a pattern maker, and is employed at tho Gail paper goods factory, Washington and Water streets. His othor children who were shocked by the bolt havo all recovered. Charlie was affected on tho arm and Willie on the fingers. The only mark on Siegling's body was a red spot on the bust directly over the heart.

The little girl Lizzie, whom ho was carrying, was marked ail over tho breast with the lightning's power. There was no visible injury to the clothing of either. Siegling is a member of the Frohsln singing society, aud his funeral will be under their auspices. The coroner will hold an inquest. Tho house of David Bennett, at Canarsie.

was struck and Mr. Bennett was stunned by the shock. The bolt passed down the chimney, up set a clock on the mantel and passed through the cellar without injuring the house. Rockawav was crowded and tnere was almost a panic among tho people who rushed to hotels ana any. sneiter tney couia una irom tnu iain.

Water ran through seaside avenue ace a nrooE and signs and awnings were torn off by tho wind. Tho storm bogan nt 7 o'clock and lasted half an hour, but it spoiled a good many summer hats, thin dresses and feminine tempers, and an enormous consumption of beor in the covered bar rooms and pavilions to which the excursionists fled. Some of tho women and children screamed with fright, but nobody was hurt. At Coney Island the bathing masters drove people out of tho water ana sightseers fled to cover. No damage was done.

ALL READY FOR THE BIG FIGHT. Preparations for a JUviister Crowd at Coney Island 'S'o nlgrhl. The featherweight battle betwe Dixon and Pierce will take place to night. The s.cene ot tho fight will be the arona of the Coney Island Athletic club. The incentive is a 30,500 puree.

To tho victor belongs all the spoils, with the exception of S500. The contest promises to be a memorable event. It is most likoly that tho meeting will attract an enormous crowd to the seaside club house, owing to tho fact that it has aroused wide spread interest throughout tho entire country. Nearly every sportsmes of note will be at the ring sido. That it will bo a representee gathering con hardly be doubted.

Even tho great sluggers of the day will be on hand and rub elbows with famous statesmen, lawyers and men who "bull" and "bear" tho market on "Wall street John L. Sullivan, who for twelve years hold the title oi the world's champion, and Bob Fitzsimmons, who surprised nearly all American followers of the game by defeating the groat "nonpareil," Jack Dempsey, will be on hand to see these two clever featherweights do battle for the world's championship. Jim Cor bett will bo the star of all the club's guests. Tho conquorer of the "big fellow," as Sullivan was oftimes termed, will make a short spoeeh from the ring. He will speak about his coming battle with Charlie Mitchell.

Parson Davies. who looks after the interest of Peter Jackson, will also be an interested spectator. In fact all the big stars of the ring will see the contest. Both lads are in the best possible condition and remarkably well matched in nearly every way. Barring an aooidont the best man will win and whichover lad meets his "Waterloo, ne will know that a Wellington was his conqueror.

At present Dixon is the favorite. The sports, however, are not laying any great odds. Tho best is 2 to 1. While Eddie Pierce has had comparatively little experience as a professional pugilist, no has a tremendous following. There is a mighty strong tip on Pierce.

As Tim Sullivan remarks, "ho is a peach. Victory to the little Fourth wnrder means more than it seems. Dixon will enter the ring in better condition than he ever did before. Ho admits that he is iroinir un against a nrettv stiff man, but he thinks his experience and generalship will bring him out the victor. Two weeks ago the question was how many rounds will it take for Dixon to win? The talent to day is at sea, which accounts for the short odds which tho Dixon people are offering.

This has been a bad year for champions. While on performance Dixon should win, there is a possibility of his being defeated. Strangor things than this have happened. At any rale, tho crowd that attends tho fight to night, and Judge Newton expects to havo a crowded houso, will witness a battle that will be worth going many thousand miles to see. The perliminary bout between Danny Mc Bride and Tim Murphy will be oalled promptly at 8:30.

Dixon and Pierce will ontor the ring immediately after this battle is finished. What ever mav be tho outcomo of tho pro posed meeting between Jack Skolly and George Siddens, and Miko Harris or New Y'ork, and Stanton Abbott, all tho men interested will know they havo been fighting as expert judges of fistic affairs are aware that tho matohes are very ovenly made and that defeat to either man means groat deal. Johnny Dunn of Brooklyn has been secured to act as master of ceremonies. Wnrron Lewis and Joseph F. Clark; Soawanhaka Boat club, will be the timers.

Duluth, August 7 Duluth sports are gruntly excited over an eighteen round finish fight that took place yesterday afternoon up the St. Louis river about 11 toon miles trotn Duluth. The mill was between Paddy Harrington, once heavyweight champion ot Wisconsin, and Goorgo Robinson, a negro heavyweight from New York. Nearly all the attendants had been drinking and many wero in an ugly mood. The rofereo drew a gun and stood off the crowd while the fight wont on.

The black man went down and the fight was given to Harrington. This increased tho excitement and a free for nil fight was started, but was quelled before any serious damage was done. a I The Congressman's View3 on the Financial Situation. lie Believes the Sherman Silver Purchase Clause Will Be Wiped Out and Is Strongly Opposed to the Repeal of the Tax on State Bnnks He Is Inclined to Favor Permitting the Xntional Hanks to Call for Currency Up to the Par Value of llic Bonds Deposited. Special to the Eaglo.

W.umisr.Tox, V. C. August 7 Congressman Coombs, when questioned as to whether ho thought tho Fifty third congress would repeal tho Sherman silvor purchasing bill, said: ''Yes, I believe it will be repealed, but efforts will doubtless be made to couple with it the free coinage of silver at some increased ratio. This, of course, will be resisted by Eastern members of tho house and I think tho ultimate result will bo that tho repeal will pass." "In regard to the question of the remittance of tho tax on state banks, what are your viows, "I am very much opposed to the remitting of tho tax for a reason which 1 have never seen mantioned. namely, that it will tend to tho destruction of the national banking system.

Tho states would naturally mako their laws regarding banks more lenient than tho national system and tho result would bo that we should soon find our national banks surrendering their charters and reorganizing under stale laws. This I would look upon as a very great disaster, for I bolievo our national bank system to bo the vory best that has ever been devised by the government. Certainly our experience of it since its establishment has been the most satisfactory both in tho mnttter of so urity and tho unification of the currency. It has all tho advantages of a great national bank and with none of its disadvantages. The danger in great national banks has beon that their powers and resources could possibly bo diverted to tho benefit of individuals or classes.

This it is plainly to be seen can never occur undor our national banking system. It is true that thero is a prejudice oxisting in some sections of the South and West against these but tney reiato to uotaais wmcn, in my view, enn easily be adjusted. For instance, it is tho oustom of tho national banks in the interior to deposit their surplus funds with banks at the groat financial centers, in many eases receiving interest or othor advantages. I think that this should bo illegal, for the reason that it robs tho local enterprises of financial facilities and accumulates an undue jjuantity of money in the great financial eontors, stimulating at those points unhealthy speculation. What wo want is not so much eurroney as a bettor distribution of what we have, and this will bo a stop in that direction.

'I believo that the repeal of tho silvor purchasing act will restore confidence and bring from its hiding placoe a vast amount of currency which has been hoarded for safety. Before applying any further remedies 1 would prefer to see what will bs tho effect of the repeal of the Sherman act, and if it is found that tho country really does need more circulating medium to meet its legitimate wants, not its speculating wants, I would proceed gradually to supply that through the medium of tho national bnnkB. In tho first place, would recommend that they be allowed to call for curroncy up to the full par value of tho bonds deposited for security. This would add at present about seventeen millions to tho volume of currency. It this is not found to be sufficient to meet the wants of tho country I feel much inclined to favor the MeCulloch plan, which is, as I remomber it, that the government sell bonds to national banks, drawing 2 per cent, interest, to be used as basis of circulation and doposited with the government for security.

Whatever value of currency is issued as against these bonds interest is to bo chargod to tho banks at the rate of 2 per cent, to offset the interest which they receive upon bonds. This would do away with tho criticism whloh has been made by tho enemies of the banks that thoy not only recoive interest on the bonds but also interest on tho circulation. It would also tend to mako an elastic currency, for the banks when they could not uso the money to a profit, would return it to the treasury and save their intorest. I do not believo that will there bo any great danger of inflation from this plan, as it would be somewhat automatic in its action. "Of course I should retain all the clauses in relation to the reserves as well as the gold reserve.

I cannot too emphatically spoak against a too hasty and vigorous adoption of remedies. The remedy should be such as to suit tho normal condition of tho country. Thoro is great danger, in order to meet this special emergency, of going beyond the mark of safoty in the other direction. These suggestions are not made in the way of recommendation, but to excite discussion and a comparison of viows. Tho wholo mattor should bo gone into carefully and action only taken after duo consideration." ST.

Cassidy Got Another Customer's Hear, and Proceeding to Cook It Raised a Rtm How He Proved That Butcher Jletzger Was a Fa's'; Prophet and Did Put His Irish Teeth Into the Roust.

James Cassidy of 191 Borden avenue, Long Is'and City, said to day that he will institute a damage suit for false imprisonment at once against Morris Motzger, a woll to do butcher, whose place of business is situatod at the corner of Jackson avenue Third stroot Cassidy was marched through the streets to tho Queons county jail yesterday morning, whore ho spent most of the day and night before ho was liberated. Cassidy's wife wont shopping Saturday night. Sho bought threo pounds of cornod boot in Metzger's butcher store and told the butcher to put the meat in the ice box until Sunday morning, when she would call for it. The captain of a vessel lying in Newtown creok bought ten pounds of roast beef at Metzger's Saturday night. He paid for it and requested tho butehor to keep it in the ico chest until Sunday morning, when ha would call for it.

Yesterday morning Mrs. Cassidy was not feeling well and remainod in bed, dirocting her husband James to get tho meat home from the butcher's. Cassidy, like the good husband the neighbors say lie is, went to Metzger's store for the purchase his wifo had made tho night before. Mctzger was behind the counter, and when Cassidy asked for Cassidy's meat, Metzger confounded Cassidy with tho captain and gave Cassidy the captain's Cassidy being ignorant oi wnat Kino, ot meat nis wire nan bought, placed tho ten pounds of roast undor his arm, and as Mrs. Cassidy was still in bed when ho reached home, he put tho moat in tho oven to roast it for dinner, and informed Mrs.

Cassidy that tbe bcof was cooking. "That's vory good, James," said the wife, "I'll bo up after a littln while." "Don't hurry yourself, dear," said he, 'Til look after it. I'm going out, but I'll De back soon." And Mr. Cassidy went out for stroll. In tho meanwhile tho captain of the vessel called at tfio butcher shop and requested Metzger to hand him his roast out of the ico box.

The butehor politely told the captain that he had only a short while before given it to ono of his men from tho vessel. Tha captain became dumfounded for an instant, but, quickly recovering himself, assured the butcher that not a man bad gone ashore from his vessel. Then Metzger went to the ioo box and rollected. Ho found Mrs. Cassidy's throe pounds of corned beef and concluded that ho had made a mistake.

A butcher boy was dispatched to Cassidy's house with the corned beef ana witfi instructions to oring dock tne captain's ton pounds of roast in a hurry. Mrs. Cassidy accepted her purchase of tho night be fore from the boy and explained to him that the captain's hoof was undergoing a cooking pro cess, ine boy made nis report to nis employer, The captain grew impatient and Metzger gave him a lresii cut ol oeet. Metzger then took off his apron and, with fire in his eye, wont around to Cassidy's house. Mr.

Cassidy had just returned from his stroll and a wordy warfare took place. Cassidy says that be showed Metzger tho beef in the oven and tho butcher became excited. Metzger says that Cassidy threatened to put him out of the house and refused to give him the meat. Metz ger immediately wont before Justice Ivavnnagh and swore out a warrant ior Jassiay arrest. When Officer "White took Cassidy into custody the prisoner demanded to know if the officer wouldn't take his word bofore that of a Jew.

On tho way to the lockup Metzger gavo vent to his delight by saying that he had the satisfaction to know that Cassidy wouldn't sink his Irish toetli in the beef. This remark from Metz gor so exasporatod Cassidy that ho called a street gamin and sent him to his home to toll Mrs. Cassidy to send him a piece ot the roast to the jail for his dinner. Mrs. Cassidy complied with hor husband's request and Cassidy was liberated late last night to appear for examination, EPISCOPAL OPEN AIR MEETINGS.
