Tale of a Valuable Watch That Was _ om an Elevated Railroad. “This watch in itself is a valuable one,’’ said a New York business man as he took the timepiece from the peculiar looking fob in which he carried it, ‘‘but it had an adventare last week that gives it a still greater value to me. The: fob is an heirloom, and, as you may sce, “would be apt to attract attention anywhere. “One afternoon last week I was going up town on a crowded train on the Bixth avenue elevated. The train war #0 crowded that I was compelled to stand on a car platform close.to the brake wheel, As the train was rounding the curve out of West Third street I took my watch from my pocket, removed it from the fob, and, after noting the time, shoved it back imto the fob and returned it, as 1 thought, to the pocket. Instead of getting it into the pocket, however, it was on the ontside, and as I let it goit fell. The guard saw it as it fell and reached out his foot to save -it from going between the platforms, but failed, and dowu it went. ‘ “T got off the train at Highth street and ran back aefast as I could to the spot where the watch had dropped, having, I may of course say, not the slightest hope that the watch would be to be seen. When I reavhed the place, my heart almost jumped out of my throat, for there in the street, conspicuous among its surroundings, lay the fob. I picked it up. .It was em ty. No watch could I find anywhere. ***Some one has found it,’ was natueally my conclusion, and that was the last I ever expected to hear or.see of it. “But as I walked back. toward the Eighth street station I got to thinking about the matter differently. If any one ‘. had found the watch, why should he have left the fob?” The more I thought of it the more I made up my mind that the watch hadn’t been found. I boarded a train at Kighth street and went up town to the railroad headquarters. There I told cf) the singular thing that had bappened to. my watch, and the officer in charge told me that after the commission’ hours were ovor for the day the track walkers would start from Fifty-ninth strcet down the line, making their regular inspection of the rails and roadway, aud he would instruct them to keep an eye out for tie lost watch. ‘¢*But,’ saidz he, smiling, ‘I guers you will have to come to the conclasion, after all, that soine one else wil) tell the time by it horecafter if it hasun’t been smached to picces by the full.’ “*Next day . went to the office. My watch was theze. A track walker had discovered it by the light of his torch at midnight lying suuciy onone of thr girders or braces of the iron roadway beneath the track. The ring waa eprang out of its fastening iv the stem, and the watch was open. There was a dent on the case at the hinge. In falling the watch had struck in some mysterious way so that it had been forced from the fob, which went on down to the strest. Beyond the trifling damage I mentioned the watch was not injured in the slightest. If there ever was a luckier find than that, I never heard of it.””—New York Sun. For Rent.

Incendiarists Fire the City in Srooxron, September 28.— An attempt was made early this morning to destroy the business portion of this city. Incendiary fires. were started simultaneously in. several localities. The Pioneer Art gallery was destroyed, and a man was seen leaving the buildingshortly before the blaze broke out. The Odd Fellows building and Levy brothers’ dry store were badly damaged by water and smoke. Most of the fires: were checked before they gained much headway. The police think that the fires were set by friends of burglar Ford who was shot a few days ago while trying to escape from the officers. These friends of the dead man have been heard to-make threats that they would avenge his death. Twenty Cents For a Kiss, Toronto, Ont., September 28.—At the Coburg Assizes, J. F. Hendricks, a white-hbaired man, aged 76, was tried for kissing his pretty niece, Mrs. Effie Pilkey, a school teacher. The kissing occurred at midnight while he was driving her to her mother’s house after a visit. She sued for $2,000. The Judge said a man had a right to kiss his female relatives without his character being suspected and there were evidently no improper intentions in this case. The jury awarded a verdict of 20 cents. The case was prosecuted with a great Hendricks is fairly well off and that Mrs. Effie Pilkey is handsome but poor. She had often built castles in the air about what she would do if she had plenty of money, but the latter article has never materialized, so the castles ‘are @till in the air. The Judge’s decision has been received with a great deal of approval by the male population of this section, and pretty female relatives who are not designing have not been heard to express any disapproval.

Tale of a Valuable Watch That Was _ om an Elevated Railroad. “This watch in itself is a valuable one,’’ said a New York business man as he took the timepiece from the peculiar looking fob in which he carried it, ‘‘but it had an adventare last week that gives it a still greater value to me. The: fob is an heirloom, and, as you may sce, “would be apt to attract attention anywhere. “One afternoon last week I was going up town on a crowded train on the Bixth avenue elevated. The train war #0 crowded that I was compelled to stand on a car platform close.to the brake wheel, As the train was rounding the curve out of West Third street I took my watch from my pocket, removed it from the fob, and, after noting the time, shoved it back imto the fob and returned it, as 1 thought, to the pocket. Instead of getting it into the pocket, however, it was on the ontside, and as I let it goit fell. The guard saw it as it fell and reached out his foot to save -it from going between the platforms, but failed, and dowu it went. ‘ “T got off the train at Highth street and ran back aefast as I could to the spot where the watch had dropped, having, I may of course say, not the slightest hope that the watch would be to be seen. When I reavhed the place, my heart almost jumped out of my throat, for there in the street, conspicuous among its surroundings, lay the fob. I picked it up. .It was em ty. No watch could I find anywhere. ***Some one has found it,’ was natueally my conclusion, and that was the last I ever expected to hear or.see of it. “But as I walked back. toward the Eighth street station I got to thinking about the matter differently. If any one ‘. had found the watch, why should he have left the fob?” The more I thought of it the more I made up my mind that the watch hadn’t been found. I boarded a train at Kighth street and went up town to the railroad headquarters. There I told cf) the singular thing that had bappened to. my watch, and the officer in charge told me that after the commission’ hours were ovor for the day the track walkers would start from Fifty-ninth strcet down the line, making their regular inspection of the rails and roadway, aud he would instruct them to keep an eye out for tie lost watch. ‘¢*But,’ saidz he, smiling, ‘I guers you will have to come to the conclasion, after all, that soine one else wil) tell the time by it horecafter if it hasun’t been smached to picces by the full.’ “*Next day . went to the office. My watch was theze. A track walker had discovered it by the light of his torch at midnight lying suuciy onone of thr girders or braces of the iron roadway beneath the track. The ring waa eprang out of its fastening iv the stem, and the watch was open. There was a dent on the case at the hinge. In falling the watch had struck in some mysterious way so that it had been forced from the fob, which went on down to the strest. Beyond the trifling damage I mentioned the watch was not injured in the slightest. If there ever was a luckier find than that, I never heard of it.””—New York Sun. For Rent.

These friends of the dead man have been heard to-make threats that they would avenge his death. Twenty Cents For a Kiss, Toronto, Ont., September 28.—At the Coburg Assizes, J. F. Hendricks, a white-hbaired man, aged 76, was tried for kissing his pretty niece, Mrs. Effie Pilkey, a school teacher. The kissing occurred at midnight while he was driving her to her mother’s house after a visit. She sued for $2,000. The Judge said a man had a right to kiss his female relatives without his character being suspected and there were evidently no improper intentions in this case. The jury awarded a verdict of 20 cents. The case was prosecuted with a great Hendricks is fairly well off and that Mrs. Effie Pilkey is handsome but poor. She had often built castles in the air about what she would do if she had plenty of money, but the latter article has never materialized, so the castles ‘are @till in the air. The Judge’s decision has been received with a great deal of approval by the male population of this section, and pretty female relatives who are not designing have not been heard to express any disapproval.
