THE TIMES, NEW BL00MFIEL1), PA. AUGUST 31. 1880.
Exciting Discussion.
An old citizen of Allegany county, JUL,
stopped at Baltimore recently on bis wny
to this city, and met ft Somerset county
man who was also going to Philadelphia.
lie wanted to take the 7 o'clock train from
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti
more Railroad's President-street dopot,and
got a policeman to wake him up au hour
too soon. He ate his breakfast at the
depot, and while In the restaurant he met
the Somerset man. They got to talking
politics over their coffee, and while they
talked the 7 o'clock train started, leaving
them. They swore they wouldn't miss
the 8 o'clock train, and went on talking.
They again got deeply Interested in the po
litical situation, and stopped In time to
see the 8 o'clock train for Philadelphia
three squares away and just turning out of
sight. They resolved not to go out again,
but to " fool around the depot" till the
10.15 train left. Having breakfasted In a
big hurry before 7 o'clock, they felt hun
gry, aud took another meal. While they
were eating and discussing politics, a little
colored boy, who had seen them disappoint
ed twice, said, "Gentlemen, de 10.15 train
am going." They rushed after it with
their napkius still banging at their necks,
but that train was too far gone. Fortunate
ly, they got the next train after that.
Politics is very absorbing sometimes.
A Counterfeit Curiosity.
A curiosity in the shape of a counterfeit
has been received at the secret service bu
reau. It is a trade dollar, which has been
neatly scooped out in the center, leaving
only a thin plate on each side. The cavity
was filled with solder, and the edges bound
-with a rim of silver which had been skill
fully milled in exact imitation of the genu
ine work. The remarkable feature about
the coin is that the weight and ring of the
genuine coin bad been successfully imitat
ed, and the coin was detected only by the
merest accident. From the fact that the
work was of such a character and such a
small profit was realized, it is believed
that it was done in China and sent over
to this country. This method of robbing
Uncle Sam is not unknown in this country,
but it is seldom that the skill is re
quisite for the work is satisfied with the
small profit arising from the manufacture
of coins of small denominations. Gold
coins of the denomination of $10 and $20
have frequently been doctored in this way.
What Next?
"New York has got another beautifying
catchpenny. He is a French Burgeon, a
graduate of the School of Modiclne, Paris.
He makes dimples on ladies' faces, fully
equal to the natural article. 'A natural
dimple,' says he, is simply a slight hollow
botween to muscles, and the skin is more
firmly attached to the subjacent tissues at
this point than at other points. Hence,
when the muscles contract, as in the act of
smiling, the skin is drawn into the hollow,
forming a dimple. I make a puncture in
the skin at the point where the dimple is
required a puncture that cannot be no
ticed when it is healed and with a very
delicate instrument I remove a small port
tion of msucle ; then I excite a slight infia
mation, which attaches the skin to the sub
cutaneous hollow I have formed. In a few
days the wound if wound it may be called
has healed, and a charming dimple is the
result.'"
A Nice City to Live in.
New York, August 22, About four
o'clock this morning a gang of five thieves
boarded one of the Third-avenue horse-cars
on the Bowery near Spring street, and
first robbed the driver of $1.41. When
the conductor came to the forward plat
form to oollect their fare they rushed past
. him into the car, and drawing revolvers
robbed several passengers of watches and
money. One passenger was lifted bodily
out of the car, knocked down and kicked
into the street. It is said that a policeman
came along, when some one said to him :
" It's all right, Jackson," and he made no
arrest. The plan of the thieves was so well
arranged that the affair was all over in
three minutes.
Infants Drowned Like Kittens.
Cincinnati, August 22. The Gazette's
special from Marietta, Ohio, says : The
people of the town of Lowell, ten miles
distant, on the Muskingum river, were
horrified to find yesterday morniDg
that the twiu children of John Farley had
been drowned in a tub of water during
the night. The father and mother were
arrested. The children were only one
month old. i lie parents are very poor.
Farley Is given to drink. Tbey both deny
the crime ; but Farley says he believes his
wifa drowned the babies. They have
, th ree other children.
A Queer Clock. ,
A man in Pawtucket, R. I., has a queer
clock of his own invention, which regulates
the entire household and never requires
winding, the front door as it is opened
aud shut during the day performing that
work. Within the dial is an ingenious
mechanism by which the light in the front
hall Is turned up as night approaohed,and
again Is towered as bedtime comes. A.S
morning dawns, and it is time that the
servants are up, the clock rings a bell lu the
back hall, summoning them to work. An
hour later a bell in the front lm'l warns
the family that it is time to rise, and a half
hour still later another peal of the bell
summous them to breakfast.
A Female Tramp with a Razor.
Before daylight one morning last week
Samuel Bnyder, n farmer residing in
Williamstown, was awakened by a pound
ing on his front door. On going to the
door he found two drunken tramps, a man
and a woman, who demanded admission.
They were ordered away. The man went
out of the yard, but the woraau drew a
razor and attacked Suyder, Inflicting
several ugly gashes, from which ha bled
freely, and became so weak as to be unablo
to follow the tramps, who escaped.
tSPIt has just been brought to light
that Benjamin Zechlor, a lunatic, has been
confiued by his brother Jacob for 27 years
in a house specially built for him, lu Alba
ny township, Berks County, near Heading.
When found he was chained to the floor
in a room about eight feet square, with
only one window for ventilation. This1
chamber was in a shocking state, the filth
being a foot thick on the floor. The man
was perfectly nude, and in the entire twen
ty-seven years he had never been washed,
combed or shaved.
ftg"Tho ceremony of marrying John Hal
and the widow miller was performed by a
Justice at Cincinnati, Ohio. The couple
went to a restaurant for a wedding dinner.
After the meal was over the husband
said that he had au errand to do, but would
not be abseut more tlaa ten minutes. He
put one arm around the bride's neck, kissed
ber, aud with the disengaged band took
$300 from her pocket. She has not seen
him since."
G3TAn aged couple by the name of
Sheifly, living in Montgomery county,
