As may easily bo supposed' ] number
of nitlclca nro lost every year on the
Elovatcd railroads , the ferricrs , on the
street cars , and on Brooklyn bridge for
which owners nro never or seldom found.
It is worth while to pay a visit to the
oillco of the Now York and Brooklyn
bridge as a star reporter did yesterdayill
order to cxamino the hotorogonooua as
sortment of lost articles in possession of
Captain Jamoa Ward. They are in value
but trilling , and the only Interest at
taching to them rests in their variety
and different stages of dilapidation.
"Hero they are on the shelves , " said
the captain. "You can examine them
for youraolt. Most of them have bcon
found on the bridgethough a few of the
most valuable , or to speak correctly , the
least worthless , wore picked up In iho
cars. Thcro are bed slats , old gloves , a
kettle of paste , rubber coata , pouches ol
tobacco more or ICBO vile , whisky bottle :
more or less empty , boxes of clpara "
"Boxes of cigars I Couldn't you lot us
BOO the brand ? "
"They are so wet that you cannot smoke
thorn , olao they wouldn't bo hero. The
few Rood boxoa picked up were claimed
on short time , the last of them , if I re
member aright , lost by ono of Grooly'a
explorers , who brought it all the way
from Smith's ' oound , and Intends keeping
it as a memento. See , herd is n awltcho
hair which , when found on the bridge wet
with the morning dow , shone like reful
gent gold. Then it changed to n dul
green , and fs now almost blackla mourn
ing , as it were , for Its proprietor , who it
all probability ID entrancing n number oi
guileless youths with hair just as bright
as this was and as false.
"This package contains a lot of rnon'a
underwear , and this parcel , ladies' under
garments , from which it may bo inferred
that the friendly shades of the bridge
buttresses afford impecunious swells the
moans of making a cheap and nocturnal
toilet. Slippers I Wo have them of all
shapes and sizes , and an for old rubbers ,
they are innumerable. Then there are
umbrellas in all stages of decay ; canes ,
Brumagen jewelry , brass bracelets that
passed for gold on white wrists , knives ,
perfume bottles , handkerchiefs , medicine ,
workmen's tooln , ramrods of guns , and , in
fact , every mortal thing that can bo
imagined ,
"A student must have loft this package -
ago on the car behind him , containing
such incongruous elements as a bottle of
gin and 'Ciuaar's Commentaries on Lat
in , ' while the broken opera glors in this ,
tied up with a pack of cards and a prayer
book , imply in the unfortunate loser a
mind wavering between tbo artistic , the
pioui and the profane. And hero ia a
parcel of paints and a number of pawn
tickets , articles that are not always di
vorced , if Thackeray and Dickens speak
the truth. The lot of cosmetics , with a
black masa of wavy hair , must have boon
lost by the name person who left this
note on ono of the benches :
DKAH CHARLES Send mo ? 50 , or tlio baby
( JOGS. 1 .MMA ,
"This sot of teeth Is really valuable
enough , " continued the voluble captain ,
"to make ono'a mouth water , and in that
decayed ebony box there is something
Ilka a false eye. "
"Why do you preserve such rubbish ? "
"It is according to order , Issued , I presume -
sumo to give the bridge as staunch a
reputation for honesty as It has for
safety. I don't think any aano man
ivould give a dollar for the collection save
ho kept a curiosity shop. "
"Do you tind largo sums of money ? "
"Seldom indeed , and when wo do they
are claimed soon after they have been
ost. A woman loft $10 in the cars on.
Monday and came around on Tuesday to
claim it. The amounts wo have unclaimed
are generally under a quarter and in the
aggregate do not amount to $2. If an
article is thrown away by ono of the offi
cers who find it , a rubber for instance ,
ho chances are that the loser trill bo
around for it bright and early , and raise a
clamor that would load ono to suppose it
was a Cinderella's elippe ? froated over
with diamonds. "
"Can you give mo any information as
, o the articles lost on the ferry boats ,
yir. do Graw ? " said the reporter to
ono of the clerks on the Brooklyn ferry-
joat.
joat."Nothing lost , " answered Mr. do
raw , "nothing found except old urn-
brellaa. "
This , however , was not otrlctly correct ,
as it is well known several articles of
value have from tlmo to lime boon loat on
: ho boats , and as the soata are not in the
labit of devouring them , as a general
rule , it follows that some ono must pick
them up. Many of them are no doubt
sent to the ollico and claimed , others are
thrown away as worthless , but there is
no system carried out or no attempt at
keeping a lost-property bureau , aitor the
manner of the Brooklyn bridge and ele
vated roads. The ferry is too conserva
tive an institution for that.
There is an elevated railroad lost prop
erty ofiico at No. 4 Frontatreot , in charge
of a rlork , who does nothing else but look
after this special department. The ele
vated railroad does things on such busi
ness principles that If ono loses an article ,
no matter how valuable or insignificant ,
ho or she ia sure to find It at the office of
which Mr. Gonndio la superintendent.
Two men employed for the purpose go
through the cars on canh nvonuo twice a
day , and collecting everything they find
on the seats forward thorn to a dispatcher ,
who In turn transmits them to No. 4
Front street. The clerk at No. 4 enters
the article on his books , and the date ,
wraps it up and places a tat ; with the nature -
turo of the article and data inscribed , and
then classifies them by avenues. Houco
It is the simplest thing in the world to
find a lost article by giving the name of
the avenue the loser bad ridden on , and
the date , or anything near It. A lady
came In while Mr. Gonudio was explain
ing matters to the reporter and obtained
a handsome silk Umbrella loat a week
ago , and this without any trouble other
than describing her property.
"It is ladles who loeo things for the
most part , " said Mr. Goundlo , "and who
take most greatest pains at recovering
thorn. At the end of the year wo are in
possession of more than a thousand ladles'
umbrellas and parasols , though I must
say 90 per cent , of them ore worthless.
The good ones are generally claimed. Wo
had 1,500 last year. Wo have valuable
property here as you may perceive , In-
binding cloaks , shawls , overcoats
watchfe , gloves , diamonds , gold brace- .
lota , brio a-brac , trlukoti of va'ua ' and j
liundrods of other articlci too numerous
to mention. " .
"Do you find money1'
"Yes , but mostly In very email
titles , and always in purses. Twenty
five cents is au average sum , A bank of
England five pound note WM brought
hero n few weeks ago. The most extraor
dinary articles are discovered In
the cars at night. Why , n big bnas'drum
was found last Bumtnor.for which no own
er has yet turned up ; pigeons , canaries ,
rabbits , cats , and all kinds of pot animals
In and out of cagoa coiuo to this depart
ment for owtiern , and no later than last
week a cat was hoard mowing mournfully
in the silence of the night. "
"How do you account for the animals
nR loft ? "
Their owners go to sloop , and forget
ting everything but the fear of being
taken beyond their street , rush out on
the platform and remember they loft
their property behind when too lato. "
"Ilow is the lost property finally dls
posed of ? "
"Wo have an auction at the end of the
year , and I can toll you Rood bargains
are to bo had at the salo. Wo sold $3,000
worth oi property for n tenth of its
value. "
"And the bank of En land notes
what do you do with thorn ? "
"Oh , " said Mr. Groundlo , smiling ,
"they go into a special fund. Wo have
never had an owner for the diamonds
found , It la possible they wore stolen ,
and lost by the sleepy thief on the cars. "

Wellington Star.
Aa a Star reporter entered the otllco of
war department official the other day ,
ho waa struck by the nppoarnnco nnd
voice of a visitor who WAS just taking his
lo&vo. II o was a heavy eot , man , with
nn intelligent face , dark brown hair and
heavy mustache , mid apparenily between
45 and GO yearn of ace. The reporter's
first impression waa that ho wns a milita
ry officer ol some prominence , but aa ho
bade the official "good doy" there was a
very perceptible foreign accent in his
speech.
"Was that an army oflicoi ? " asked the
reporter after the door had closed upon
the departing visitor.
"No " the oflicial "I
, replied , never
saw him before that I know t-f , but ho
lias just related to mo a very interesting
story. "
"I am jutt in the humor for n good
story , " said the reporter.
"Well , my visitor is a Swede. During
the rebellion ho loft his homo in Sweden ,
a young man , to coma to this country to
fight for liberty , lie was a man of
moans , and wai actuated simply by he
roiolmotivog , Upon arriving hero ho at
one 8 enlisted in a Now York regiment
and waa sent south. Ills regiment , as I
remember It , was rather a hard one , com
posed mainly of French and Germans of
a pretty rough class , with officers not
much bettor. At Now Orleans the
young Swede's abilities were quickly
recognized , and ho was Riven clerical
work. In a short time ho was taken very
ill with chronic diarrbuu , and when at
most at death's door was shipped north
on a six days' furlough. That was in the
summer. Ho did not improve much , and
aa cold weather approached the doctora
advised him to seek a warmer climate.
Ho was entirely ignorant of military rog
illation's , and being desirous only of nav
ing his life , ho made his way , ho says , to
Havana. Thcro ho was under the
care of a physician who was In some
way connected with the U. S. consulate.
By the time ho regained hia
health the war was over. 1 think ho
then wont back to Ssvedon ; at any rate
he didn't return to this country again un
til a few days ago , when ho came to Now
York to engage in business. Imagine
his surprise when ho learned that hia
name la recorded as that of a deserter.
His mission hero ia to clear himself of
tint stigma , so that ho can outer buai-
boss with an unstained reputation. Ho
says that ho noycr received a cent from
the government when ho was in the
army , and that ho did not oven got boun
ty money. Ho doaon't care for that
though ho says ; all ho wants is to got hia
name cleared. I don't know anything
about the truth or falsity of hia atory ,
but ho tolls it very straight. Ho will
have to bring affidavits and other proof ate
to establish it before hia case can bo
acted upon. I only give you the story
asho related it to mo just now.
A ISlN WHO CAJID BACK TO LIFE.
"I suppose you have many strange war
Instances brought to your attention1' ?
suggested the reporter.
"Oh , yes ; . lota of them , " was the reply.
"I have in mind now the case of a man
who was reported as killed in action , but
who turned up a few years ago at a reun
ion of his regiment like a- ghost among
his comrades , who had never hoard a
word about him uinco the memorable
battle whan ho waa shot. It was the
second b&tflo of- Bull Run , I think. Ho
was a cavalryman , and rode In the front
ranks in a charge. Ho was shot from
his horse at the beginning of the charge ,
and the whole regiment paoeed over him.
There wa&no doubt about hia death , and
that his body was oat fuund occasioned
ao surprise. As ho tolls the story ho
know nothing until ho regained con
sciousness two or three months later
out in Michigan , being cared for by some
strangers who had taken him in. He was
i physical wrack , , and when. I saw him ho
ookod like a regular Quilp. He waa all
twisted and torn out of ahap , as if he
iad been blown up in a boiler exploaisn
and patched up aftorwartls. . Ho wandered
ibout tor several years and finally visited
lis former homo. Ho found that his wlfo
jolievlng him dead , had maniod again.
So didn't trouble herbut continued trav
elling until he gained the friendship of a
vell-to-do man , and with him ho made
lia homo , finally marrying ono of his
daughters. After ) his appewranco at the
reunion of his regiment , lie brought the
case before the department to have his
record corrected , and to oecuro the pen
sion which ho claimed on account of hia
wounds.
A MUGII. MIXEDASK. ' .
"Tho strangest incident within my
recollection , " continued the official , "was
connected with the death of a colored
soldier. Both his widow and his mother
claimed a pension. The widow swore
, hai this man , her huabaad , died in Ton-
loeaeo in 1802 of the smallpox , but that
ilt > mother waa not living at the tlmo of
ils death nor even several years before.
The mother claimed that this man , her
son , died In IS'Jd , of * smallpox , in Ton-
lessee ; that she had repeatedly soon him
> otweon 18U2.and ISO ! * but that her son
lad never been married. Now , that was
a nice snarl to untangle , for both women
were evidently tolling iho truth. There
was a record of the man in question ,
according to which he was onlietod at a
certain data in that regimpnt and com-
? any , and died of smallpox in 1804. But
.hero waa also strong evidence that ho
died in ISCS'of omallpor. "
"How waa it straightened out ) " asked
ho reporter.
"Well , it waa learned that tbo man did
die in 1082 ; as claimed by the widow. In
; hoao times , , however , and particularly in
, hoao colored regiments , the o Hirers made
every effort to keep their ranks full , and
aa the colored men seldom went by any
ether names than Moso cr Pompoy , or
Bomo such weJl-knoirn darkey name , . the
eorgeaaU experienced littb difficulty in
tilling the place of some uno of tba inon
who died or deserted. It la supossdi that :
in thie instance no record was mido of
the death of this Mnsrj , or whalovor his '
name was , when he died of sraullpox iu ;
1SS2 , but the sergeant hunted up a lain ,
who looked enough like him to take his
place , and the now loldier nJopted the
name of the dead on ) , and waa known aa
euch. Two years later h * alee dlod of
umallpox and his death waa recorded.
There were roallj two soidlara , but ono
of whom was muttered in and bat ono of
whom died according to the record. "
"Who got the pension ! ' asked the re
porter.
"I don't recall the character of the re
port made by the department to the pen

that neither got it. You sco , the hus
