The offer was accepted, and dur ing the course of their perambniatinee n num ber of drinking saloons were visited and numerous drinks taken, but it was not until the hour mentioned' that a favorable oppor tunity presented-to tleece the uefortunato man of •lit bard - earned money. Namerone atteMpts wete Mndeto Induce him hito platten well known to t ramer, where the "job" child be dose dihou the risk of detection. which he woul run bf performing It boldly, but they failed. Cramer knew that Ilickernell hod alarge tadount of money, as he had seen end his pocket boot eat' several time., and be was resolved to have It. The man was induced to go Into a saloon on Orant street to take a drink where it is probable the job way arranged. tts , he to that Cramer, while in the saloon, spoke to two men. who came out of the muloon after' them: They then started, as the victim suppo x ed. to return to the hotel. mut he was conducted down Seventh avenue to Cherry alley t which. under a pre text. he was Indueed to 'enter. They loud text, gone into the alley more than fifty feet when thee were met be the two men who and been spoken to by Cramer in o nth saloon. and without a word the themth ade attack upon their s. ict. One of them eeixed him by the throa another held his mouth. and the third' struck him sockets , bloirs, nod then "went through" 'his pockets taking his I pocket-book. Containing sl.m. and the three ran away. Ilickerwell was conducted to the Maror s Ofnce.ishere. be told his story, and a number of boys who • accompanied him—seine of " whom had witnessed a part of the toutsaction--etated that Cramer was one of the men. -Officers Moon, topples, Strain. Ruch and Long. of the detective force. started out in search of the villnins at once, and in less than half an hour returned with William Daft:Phil. Wills and Henry Cramer, who. they say they have positive evidence, are the parties who perpetrated the high-handed outrage.

Thelight- Ding was very close to earth. and of such sharp, fierce character as t 6 make the onlook er quail with fright at each dash. One bolt. driven from a heavy. dark cloud in Itself blind with lightning, made the upper P.rt of the Second ward a fsiendly cuttlaisp as anativ caparsas ft, boll-in a alas , Jnit doing far less 'damage. It first held , a (Me picnic on Its own account on the dag-stall of the ',god works of Anderson and Woods, . corner of First and [Wog streets. It ruceeeded in splitting and chipping the fair pole Imo n thousand fragments. then Jumped to the pavement, glanced over to the door-Mee of Mr. T.

Along the street 'lt went. tearing up cable stones in utter contempt for the ordinance forbidding such act without license, and entered the glass works of John Belt & Co. Here it struck an iron waiter. in which were de posited six gfln It? orbdi -hot. 1 r Ct I Oc I U I n c globes Into a million pieces and quietly wenadown into the bowls of the earth where. perhaps.

The. performan ces of this playful bolt occupied but an instant and were vociferouslY applauded ,by feerfnl peal of deafening thunder above. which gave all hereabo d been uts to understand that a decided st , rike ha made somewhere intim h borhood.
