A lloateli Liquor Dealer a Method of Suppllnc Drlnka te Thlrtly I'eepls In Klieile lilaml, A red-faced jelly driver or a big two-herso truck team get Inte trouLle lu Bosten en Tuesday afloriieou and wasted Inte letting out a little secret which he would have been glad te keep. He was coming up Trement street, from the North Lud, aud when opposite the Common get into a jam of truck teams, one of which pushed his cart te ene slde aud tipped etr a portion of his lead. Among ether things which fell Inte the street wero thrce wooden shipping cases tilled with eggs. Hie cases were of medium slc, holding forty ferty forty iilne dozen eggs eacli. Tlie cev or of ene case was knocked oil lu llie fall, aud the large brown PIa mouth Reck eggs went skipping ever tlie granite uuement llke Lngllsh sparrows after spilled grain. They rolled aud carremed among the wheels of the vehicles and the teet of the horses, greatly te the amusement of two newsbeys, who rushed in aud beg m te break the eggs and suck the contents. A large liey cracked an egg aud holding It up te his expectant mouth, closed his ojes, opened tlie shell and gave himself up te gastronomic Jey. An amber-colored tluld touched his tongue, causing him te make a w ry taco. "Hetten ?" asked u bjstauder. 'Naw," was the reply, "hut's a funny tasting egg 'bever I seed. Uuess they be limed eggs." '1 hen another boy carefully cracked oneot his w lth the handle of ajackknlfe and peeped through the crust. Alter this he smelled or the shell caretully aud then touched his tengue te it. His eyes had a gleam et wenderful Intelligence as he turned te the waiting crowd and said, "Taln't an egg at all, lis nothing but whisky." Of course there was a scramble ler the eggs, and the driver had hard work te get his tint back. When bis boxes were all leaded again he said he had received six cases or eggslremu North Lud liquor dealer, who told hlui te take them te the Prev idonce depot and cautioned him te be careful and "net batch the eggs en the way," as they were for hotel use in Rhede Island. Taking up ene of the eggs and breaking It in rrent of thocrewd, a ruddy liquid ran out, leaving nothing buta common IHirtelaiu shell, such as Is sold at agricultural supply stores for "nest eggs." Instead of albumen and ielk, every egg was full or whisky, each ene containing about enough for a geed drink. They were lilted through a small hele in the big end, and the hole was closed with watorproef cemented cloth of the S.IU10 color as the egg, liy chalking tlie egg a tittle the deception was complete. "They are going te Newport and Narragansett Pier,1' mid the driver, "aud I'll bet lets of poeplo will eat eggs down there who never liked thorn before." THE JlALU.Vr.

He said that he had been in consultation with couucilmeu who had agreed with him. He, however, would soe the president of each branch, aud be guided entirely by what they said. Chier Knglneer Smodley said yosterday that the contract was drawn in the usual form adopted In this city aud elsewhere. This lerm, he said, is used by all corporations ler thoBsme kluu of work. It is really against the contractor, for In case the chiet engineer and surveyor -the city's efllcer lluds it ad v Isable or necessary te make changes, the contractor Is prevonted from charging exor bitant prices ler the materlal used.

Old Jim Henry, Avas takeu from here te Baltimore a osterday te ausw or the charge of arson and herse stealing there, arrived in that city last night and Marshal Frey says be Is "Dutch Hen," an old herse thief who fre quented llaltimore years age. At police hoadquarters Henry was soarched, and In hie trunk were found a let of undorclethlng and a suit of old, damp clothes. The clothes were Identified as these worn by Henry when he sold the colt. A let of matches and several keys wero among his effects. He had 20.45 in Ills pocket. His takes bis arrest coely, and neither alUrms or denles hla guilt. The burning oftlie barn created great ex citement at the time, and the Baltimore po lice elllcials at ence went te work upon tbe case. A day or two alter the barn bed been burned Captain Cadwallader and Detective Freoburgercameupeu the colt nut en the liarieru roan, xney uoiiueu Air. nuine, ana he, in company with the olllcers, went te Ideutlfy the animal. The stable deer where the colt was kept was opened and tbe animal let loose. Mr. Rhine, as seen as he saw tbe colt, oxclaimed : ' Why, that Is my Billy," and tbe animal, hearing his voice, dashed up te him and began te lick his face. Tbe owner actually shed tears, and the colt did all In but power te attest gladness. The man who bad possession of the colt willingly gae;tilm up, and said be bought him from an old man, w he seemed te be about GO years old. He ga e 175 ler the colt, the old man giving as Ids excuse for selling that be could net man man age him. Tbe story of the burning of the barn ahewa that the mau who set it afire was possessed of great uerve. The barking of a deg aroused Mr. Rhine and bis family from tbeir sleep te see tbe barn in llames. Mr, Rhine and bis av ire ran te a small stable that steed near the barn te rescue the colt " Billy." Mrs. Rhine kuocked the pin out and opened the deer, but could noteuter owing te the intense beat, the stable having been set en tire also. In ene stable were two horses and In another six. All perished except the colt, which was stolen. Only the walls of the barn were left standing. Mr, Rhine the next day made an investigation and noticed that only five dead horses Avere In tbe stable. There were two dead horses In the small stable. He ac cordingly reported te tbe Baltimore police that a brown horse bad been stolen. He was positive that the colt had been burned. When the colt was identified by Mr. Rhine, after having been recovered by the detectives, It was concluded that tbe thief, in order te get away with tbe colt and threw off any possible capture, bad taken a horse Irem tbe big stable and placed hlui in the stall occupied by the colt in the small stable. He then tired both the barn aud the stable in such a manner that he thought everything would be burned out of shape. Ills Idea In leaving two horses In the small stable was te onset any idea that the colt had been taken. Target I'ractlce at Teh's Halu.
