A few weeks ago there was a letting at the Com

afterwnrds,nd when opened it proved to bo un
der that of the lowest bidder. It may havo bceu
nil right, but it is rot a fair nor honorable way
to do business, and if thero was no connivance
about it, it is i-ingular that ho did not think of

vigorouly that iho attempt proved fitiiilesfl.
Heknonkcd the Conslablo down and while tho

ho got in a kiik witli both feet on Harris'
stomach. Afiera good deal of loud nnd pro
fane talk on both tides, the officers let the man
go, but why ho was net put in llio lock-up no

have been arrested on a warrant for assauli nnd

A NOVELTY IN MONKV OUDEIIS.
Postmaster General Jamep,sayB Iho Piltabitrg
rod, has hit upon n plan of facilitating tho
transmission through the mails, at aciieap rate,
of small sums of money. Tho new device is an
improvement upon the system of postal orders
recently adopted by the English postal author
ilies. The improvement consists of three col
umns of figures, one to represent dollars, tho
second tens nnd the third units. Two denom
inations of these orders arc lo be issued one
for all sums within $2.60, nnd tho other for
all sums within SC. The five dollar card has
four figures and n cipher in Ihe dollar column
and nil the numerals in each of tho other col
umns. Tho postmaster t-elling Iho order will
deslgnnto Ihe amount lo be drawn by punch,
ing the figures in the respective columns. The
orders will be payable to bearer, and the post,
office will not be responsible for their safe de.
livery any more than for fractional currency,
for which they nre intended ns a substitute.
Both sets of orders are to he printed on hank
note paper, to be finely engraved nnd other
precautions taken against counterfeiting. It is
expected that Ihe government will bo able to
Bell them at from 'J lo 3 cents for a $2.50 or
ilcr and from i to 5 cents for a S5 order. The
postmaster will enter the nmount of the order
in writing on a stub, which will be the only
check tho department will nerd, nnd will con
tain only the amount of the order, the dato of
issue nnd the nnmo of the office upon which
the order is drawn. This will do away with
a great deal of clerical labor, since the names
of Ihe remitter and the payee will not be entered
at all in the records as is done in the money
order transactions, nor will any advices bo is
sued. In order to prevent the use of the postal
orders as currency, they are lo be redeemable
only for three months after date of issue.

Ho had sold to Mr. Porter some territorial
rights for the manufacture nnd salo of a certain
.liinel of paint for rooting purposes, etc. A cl
ick claimiiiB that ho had a patent richt.throtish
another party, on the paint. It was nfterwenls
ascertained that no such patent had been issued
from the paltnt office. Melick gave bail for his
appearance at court at the October session, and
shortly after left Williamsport. The text
heard of him was, that he was under arrest
in Cattaraugus county, under tho chargo of
lorgery in tne llilru uegreo, urougtit about as
follows; A stranger came to town with n draft
for SwOO; the hank olhcers were acquainted
Willi iMencK, nnu lie laieiick; lolu the hank
peonle that he was acquainted with the man.
and that he was all right, nnd tho monoy was
paid. Tho man disappeared directly after, and
the draft proved to bo a forgery. Melick was
arrested and locked up. About tho same time
a man hail been locked up lur drunkenness.
Tho next morning nn officer went to Melick in
the jail, supposing him lo be Iho man who had
been placed there for drunkenness, nnd told him
to gel out nnd try nnd keep sober. Melick saw
at once the mistake, and win smart enough to
take advantage of it. As soon ns bo recovered
his liberty he left that section cf country hur
riedly. A reward wan ollered for his capture.
He went from Uieie direct lo Dock Haven, but
a telegram arrived in time to secure his arrest.
Tho New York State uuthoritics immediately
mnde n requisition on Governor Hoyt for the
body of the prhoner. At this juncture, J. It.
Itcardon, Unp, district attorney of Lycoming
coiimy, put In his claim for tho prisoner, and n
conllict ol authorities ensued. District Attor
ney Kenrdon went to Ilntrisburg and laid tho
matter heforo tho department, nnd upon a heal
ing Governor Hoyt refused lo surrender the
party to the New York Slato authorities, as
there was n bill of indictment pending against
him in Lycoming renin ty, Pa. Upon applies
lion for a writ of habeas corpus from the Ly
coming county authorities, Judge Mayer sur
rendered Melick, and, accompanied by the
District Attorney nnd Deputy SherifrYeiiRer,
ho rnino to Williamsport and was lodged in
jail. It may he slated that Melick abo escaped
from Lock Haven, while he was under urrost
there. Ho found a number of friends (here,
and nftcr telling them a very plnusihlo story
the-y agreed to he responsible for his appear
ance. Ho was llien given his liberty tinder
promise lo not leavo the plnro before Iho re
turn of District Attorney Kcnrdou from liar
risbiirg. Hut this promise he violated, an it
was soon learned that ho lied left tho town. Of
ficers wore sent idler him and he wai ovr rtakcr
near Jersey Shorn. Those who wero his ball
hero, no doubt feel banny over the successful
oIlbrtB of our District Attorney. Other hall Is
now being hunted up for Melick, but the par
ties that nre working for it should he nwnro ol
the fact that in case he Is liberated here, ho
will ho picked up immediately by n New York
officer unci taken lo Catliirnugus on llio reqiilsi
