Tlrcct of Serving Warrants.
The cases now pending against the saloon
keepers in the district court will not bo
reached until the latter part of the term ,
which Is fully two months away , and the
booze dispensers are Improving their op por-
tunity to the fullest extent by selling as much
as they can before the court shuts down on
them. Some of them nro running three or
four places , but these nro parties who are
said to "stand In" with the powers that bo ,
on the sldo of the prosecution. They all realize -
alizo that it would bo throwing away money
to pay the line demanded by the mayor ,
nnd place their only trust in the ability of
their attorneys to stave oft proceedings
ugnlns't them in the district court. They are
greatly annoyed by the search warrant sys
tem , and are making such desperate threats ,
that it Is difllcult to find anyone who will act
as a special constable to servo the search
warrants. John Mitts , who has been acting
In that capacity for several days , has an
nounced his Intention of ( | ultting the busi
ness. He says ho was In constant danger ,
and that his footsteps were dogged by men
hired by the saloonkeepers to slug him. At
night ho found parties lurking about his
house watching for him.
Captain Overton , the leading prohibitionist
of the city , is now looking for n man to servo
the warrants. The fees amount' $1 each.
Mr. Overton says he will pny the fees In ad
vance , and will swear out all the warrants a
man can servo In n clay. As the law protects
the constable and allows him to call on citt-
7cns for assistance in case ho Is set upon by
thugs , it Is probable that a man can bo found
who will work for the offered $10 n day.
The threats of the saloon men are creating a
feeling against them , and will result disas
trously to their cause. The light is begin
ning to get Interesting , nnd some decisive
move will take place before a great while.
The mayor insists that his demands are be
ing complied with , and sa.vs it will not belong
long until every ono of the saloon men will
have paid , it is evident that thcro is not
perfect unity among the city ofllcials , as the
mayor's assertion is disputed by the others.
Tlio saloonkeepers themselves deny it , and
announce their determination to persist in
their refusal. It is not at nil surprising that
the mayor should want n little cash paid into
the city treasury , as ho draws n neat little
salary each month , an'd It is much more ac
ceptable in cash than In the city warrants
with which the more humble city servants
are paid.

The Herald Keeps Up AVItli ( he Otlicrs.
An article appeared In last evening's Issue
of the Inter-State Herald casting some
rather unpleasant reflections on Mr. J. A.
Murphy , the contractor In chnrgo of the
erection of the now school building. The
charges in brief were that Murphy was using
lighter lumber In the building than thospccl-
llcations called for , as It couUl bo obtained
more cheaply than the size required. About
10 o'clock In the evening Murphy mot II. B.
Westcott , a reporter tor the Herald , in the
Manhattan billiard parlors , and the pair
were soon engaged In a controversy.
The discussion lingered on what ordinarily
constitutes two inch plank , nnd Murpliy be
came rather abusive. Westcott threatened a
"roast , " whereupon Murphy exclaimed ,
' Hoast and bo d d , " at the same tlmo hitting
Westcott a blow In the neck that , floored him.
Ho then rushed upon the defenseless news
paper man nnd would doubtless have In-
llletcd severe Injuries but for the interference
of spectators. Murphy was nearly beside
himself with rase , but was taken away by
his friends. Westcott's injuries nro slight.
The affair will probably bo aired in court.

The Kitchen Sociable.
To-morrow evening there will bo a novel
sociable at the Congregational parsonage.
Some time ago the "old uestrilr skulo" enter

that many inquiries came in as to particu
lars , other places desiring to give n like en
tertainment. To meet this demand a pamphlet
has been published here , nnd the Bales of
this have amounted to enough to provide for
the building of n kitchen addition onto the
Congregational parsonage. Theri will be a
warming of the new kitchen to-moirow even
ing. Everybody is invited. Members of the
old ' "skule" are especially nrcoit to bo pres

Chief Lucas would do well to imitate the

week these places nro filled by hundreds of
victims who nro cither tempting the fickle
goddess or watching the attempts of
some of their foolish tellows. It is highly
improbable that any such move will be made ,
because the chief ot policu Is under the or

A TWO-FACED BANK NOTE.
It Calls for Ten Dollars on One Sldo
and Twenty on the Other.
Now York Star : In the United States
there is ono bill which is $10 on ono
hide and 820 on the other. It has been
in circulation twenty-four years , and
has at last been captured atlil put in a ,
glass case. It was exhibited yesterday
at the wholesnlo store of the Rochester
Lamp company , No. 25 Warren btrcot.
By a mistake at the government bu
reau of printing , four bills were printed
tib $10 on the face aii'l as $20 on the re
verse side. The mibtakc was not dis
covered till after they had bcon put in
circulation. An attempt was made to
got them. Three of the bills were re
covered , but the fourth bill was lost.
The bill which is the subject1 of this
story was the lost bill.
It accidentally came into the posses
sion a short time ago of Mr. Gregg , a
manufacturer at Wallingford. Conn.
Ho discovered it as ho was paying off
his employees , and was uncertain
whether .it was a ton-dollar bill , a
twenty-dollar bill or no bill al all. Mr.
C. S. Upton , of the lamp company , paid
Mr. Gregg $200 for the bill.
It is a national bank bill of the Second
end National bank of Springfield. Mass. ;
government number. / . 970,793 ; bank
number , 4,515 ; number of bank , 181.
It was printed January 5 , 1SG9 , nnd is
signed with the curious and well known
signature ot S. E. Spinner. It hns also
the signature of H. Alexander , jr. , the
president of the bank. The bill is now
frayed a little on the edges , but it is
bright in color.
Mr. Upton presented it to the Import
ers nnd Traders' bank and to the Chem
ical Bank for inspection , and the bank
exports pronounced it n good bill , and
nt first did not observe anything pecu
liar about it. It is a good bill and is
valued at $10 ,
It is said that Mr , Stownrt , the , voll-
known restaurant keeper , and Allen &
Ginter , the tobacconists , have offered
$300 for the bill. Mr. Upton said ho
would not soil it for $1,000.

ono of them , while the other , which had
been slightly wounded , managed to es

HOW THEY DECIDED IT.
A Nomination Made by Tossing Up n
Dollar.
Chicago Tribune : Two candidates
for congress , attended by two friends ,
met in a room at Warronton , Mo. Each
candidate put up $1,000. The friends
tossed up two silver dollars to decldo
which candidate should have thrfcholco
of the nomination or the money. The
man who won the toss took the nomina
tion. The man who lost took the
money , wont out nnd withdrew his
name from before the convention nnd
turned over enough delegates to nom
inate his lucky rival. It was all ac
complished in half nn hour.
The Seventh congressional district of
Missouri has furnished some sensa
tional episodes in connection with its
nominating conventions. But there is
nothing that parallels this transaction.
Four years ago the democrats hold two
conventions , nnd a thousand or moro
ballots before they mndo n nomination.
Two years ago there was another pro
longed deadlock and several hundred
ballots before the decision was readied.
Yesterday for the third tlmo n dead
lock occurred , nnd to-day it was broken
in the remarkable manner described.
This is probably the only time on rec
ord when a seat in congress was staked
on the toss-up of a coin.
When the convention adjourned 100
ballots had been taken. The closing
ballot was the same ns the first. Judge
Elijah Kobiiison had 31 votes , within
thrco of the nomination. Richard II.
Norton had 18. J. P. Wood , the pro
genitor of the local oplion law , had 0 ,
his own county. Thcodoric McDoarmon
had 11.
The forces of Robinson and Norton
had kept apart from each other since
their arrival in town , but now began to
whisper and exchange views. They
thought that Robiiibon and Norton ,
being the two strongest men in the con
vention , should roach some arrangement
by means of which ono or the other
sliojkl be nominated. But how could
this arrangement bo made ? Thcro was
the rub. Robiiibon , with tliirty-ono
solid votcb behind him only threo'short
of the requisite number to nominate
could not be expected to yield to Nor
ton , who had only eighteen votes. But
Norton considered , nnd with some de
gree of correctness , that if the issue
narrowed down to himself and Robinson
the votes of St. Charles , Rails , nnd
Warren would go to him. There was a
good deal of conferring and dallying
and dickering.
The con vontion was scheduled lomoet
nt 8 o'clock , but at that time the chair
man was not on hand. Half an hour
elapsed and the chairman had not yet
put in an appearance. The sorgcant-
at-arms stood on the balcony of the
court house and called the cha'irmnn in
a loud voice , as ia the custom of the
sheriff to call witnesses , jurors , or at
torneys at county court houses. Still
the chairman did not appear , but at
last , when everybody was nearly out of
patience and the hour of 9:30 : had ar
rived , thochairman , entered and as
sumed the jjavol.
The calling of the roll of counties
was resumed whore it was left off last
night. The 101st ballot was without
change. The sarno can bo tairt of the
six succeeding ballots. After the 107th
ballot Sol Hughlett of Montgomery
moved a recess until 10:80. : The con
vention agreed , and dickering again
became the order of the day.
The friends of Norton and Robinson
made another effort to roach an agree
ment. Norton put himself in the hands
of Nat Dryden and said ho would abide
by any thing that Dryden would agree to.
Dryden wont to Robinson and sug
gested that ho and Norton ilin to bee
which should withdraw and which
should got the other's support. Robin
son agreed. Dryden brought Norton
and Robinson together. They mot in
the little room with the round table
covered with grcon cloth , with a hole
in tho'centcr , near Judge Peers' law
office. Robinson wanted an advantage.
Having thirty-one votes , while Norton
had but eighteen. Robinson thought
that ho ought to have two chances to
Norton's ono. Dryden then , in behalf
of Norton , would not agree to this , nnd
nt last , with the prospect of $2,000 be
fore him oven if defeated , Robinson
yielded nnd agreed to take oven
chances.
Dryden produced n dollar and handed
it to Norton. Norton placed it on the
nail of his right-hand thumb and
and flipped it , into the air. As it do-
doscondcd Robinson shouted :
"Hcadsj"
When it reached the ground these
present rushed forward to see which
side was uppermost. Robinson lost.
The "tail" side was up. Then Robin
son flipped the dollar , and ns it de
scended Norton shouted :
"Toils ! "
It was tails , and Norton had won a
sent in the B'ifty-iirst congress.
Robinson stood to his agreement like
a thoroughbred. Ho sent word to his
friends to vote for Norton and to the
Pike county delegates to withdraw him
from the consideration of the conven
tion. This is the inside history of the
proceeding. Only a few of the dolo-
gatcs know how the thing was brought
around.
Kelly , the Hall Vlnycr.
Washington Critic : To look at the
genial Kelly , the truly famous $10,000
catcher of the Bostons , ono would not
not suspect that ho over thought of or
contemplated being n priest. But such
is the fact , howovorj and it was owing1
to his roving spirit that ho now
occupies the high niche in basobnlldom
instead of wearing the frock of priest
hood. Mr. Kelly was standing in front
of the Harris house on joying a smoke ,
when a reporter broke in on his reverie
with : "Well , the Boston boys did the
senators to-dayV"
"Yes , wo had a little bettor luck to
day. "
After a general conversation the reporter -
porter asked the champion what ho
thought of Wnshington.
"I think its the handsomest city in
the country. I have a warm spot
in my heart for Washington , " ho
continued , "for I spent -a number of
happy years bore. They were my boy
hood days. A few years after
the war I came hero with my
father ; wo located in George
town. Talk about improvements ! Well ,
1 loft hero in ' 75 nnd it's the truth , I
hardly know the city , so changed is
everything. I spent four years at
Georgetown college , whore I studied
for the priesthood. Fancy mo a priest , "
and the catcher laughed good naturally.
" 1 nntorod the college in 1871 nnd
ran away several times but was caught
nud brought back , vntll ' 75 I wont off
and my people failed to find mo. I've
only bcon playing ball since 1870 , nnd
I must say the game has improved since
then. It has now become n science. It
was by the merestnccidont I took up the
profession. I was a newsboy in the em
ploy of the American News company in
1870and ono day a party of eight follows
boarded the train. Ono of thorn said in
my hearing , 'I wish wo could got
another man to play ball with us. ' I
spoke up and said : 'I'll play for you. '
My offer was accepted. I played leftfield
field , and the next day I was engaged
by the Olympics , of Paterson , N. J. , at
a salary of $12 per week. And 1'vo been
playing ball over since.
