THE TIMES, NEW BLOOM FIELD, PA., AUGUST 10, 1881.
Negro Policemen.
l'liiliuf)1l)i(i tins four colored moil ap
pointed nn llio police force, and the advent
oftlio first ofllcor is thus described In the
Prem :
" Yes, look nt dar nlr nlggar !" was
fchontvd, n OHleer Draper, armed with
the authority of the law, a innce nnd ft rat
tle, descended the stotio Meps of the station-house,
prccteded by a dozen and llauk
cd by as tunny more of the old officers of
the district. With an almost phenomonul
solemnity the squad tiled nlowly down the
steps. Draper, coed and collected, nodded
right nud left to numerous acquaintances,
ho called him by name, Bnd by the time
the blue-coats reached Eighth Street he
had been cheered ft dozen times. Along
Eighth Street to Spruce walked the of
ficers, closely followed by tho crowd, which
was beliqr Increased every moment by the
irrepressible small boy, who yelled and
hooted nt every step.
"Shoot the nigger's cip!' yelled a di
minutive barefooted youth in a long-tailed
coat. " Jes luk at him !" screeched a lem-ou-oolored
woman in a dirty calico dress.
" Wull, Willi,'.' exclaimed a venerable old
son of the Green Isle, "niver did I expect
to see the loiks o' thot. A nagur place
man 1 It's consatcd I nm that we'll be
hoving a black President afoor long."
Two young men In Bhort coats nnd car
rying canes, carefully adjusted their eye
glasses as the crowd approached Eighth
nnd Spruco Streets, nnd one of them ex
claimed, "By Jove, C'jawley, old boy, this is the
ah new Afrioan oHloer, you know."
" Yaas !' drawled Jiis companion, staring
nt the center of attraction, he's devilish
hi auk, isu't he !"
Draper paid no attention whatever to
the multitude of unfavorable coiumouts.
He walked llrmly along, and the only Indi
cation bo gave of heaving was when the
colored poople cheered, when he bowed aud
smiled iu recognition of the complimeut.
At Ppruce Street the oflicers, who had
accompanied him divided, aud he walked
slowly down Spruce Street to Seventh,
there to be saluted by a chorus of catcalls,
cheers nud hisses from nu army of small
boys stated on the curb-Btone on each side
of the street. From Seventh to about half
way betweeu Eighth nnd Ninth Streets the
pavement was filled with a noisy orowd of
white- aud black urchins, who had been
'waiting with impatience for what to them
would be a novel exhibition. By some
kind of a signal it was telegraphed along
the line that the few odicer was on duty
loss than five minutes after he had turned
the corner of Eighth Street. Down came
the crowd on a dead run. They hemmed
' the black policeman in ou every side.
They yelled and shouted in ear-splitting
ohorus. Diaper, with remarkable coolness,
paid no attention to (he hubbub, but after
reaching Seventh Street turned about and
walked up the thoroughfare with the air of
a vcterau. Above Eighth Street he was
subjected to another chorus of noisy com
mont. "Dat air niggah can't 'rest dis
yere chile," cried a frowsy-looking young
colored womau. "I'd break his jaws I
would."
What's you talkiug 'bout, gal?" retort
ed an elderly negress reprovingly. "I
goss youse never been iu de Souf, has yer?
Why, down dcre dey has miffln but cullud
gemmeu fur p'lecemcn. You're not smart,
you isn't."
"I don't kcor," was the rejoinder, "I
don' 'low no buck niggah to take mo in, an'
don' yon fo'git it !"
Among the colored male3 the comments
were various. Tho majority, however, ex
pressed their ratisfaction at haviug their
race recognized by the appointment, while
a few disappointed aspirants vented their
pleen by the unkindest remarks about tho
new policeman's appearance and manner.
He Now Believes in Dreams.
The II ait ford (Conn.) Times of August
i. says : A few days ago an aged German
' liviug on Market Sorect left his vest iu the
-store of his employer for a short time.
Wheu ho returned be found that two
watches, one of gold and one of silver, had
been stolen fron the vest. To each watch
was fastened a chain, and these had beeu
snapped off, leaving a small end remaining
attached to the vest. In the neighborhood
of the robbery lived a young man who has
inured in the police courts iu this and
other cities. lie has been in the Connecti
cut State Prison, aud also on Blackwell'g
Island, in Kew York. This fellow was
suspected of the thefc and arrested while
- drunk, but no trace of the stolen watches
could be found, and he would say nothing
which would "give him away." He was
iiowever, sent to jail for drunkenness, and
it there yet. The old man a night or two
ago dreamed ho saw tho watches covered
with straw in a corner of the yard adjoin
ing the house where he slept. The uext
morning he told his dream and was laugh
ed at by all the household except the wom
an head of the family. She advised him
to go and look over the place designated in
his dream. II9 did so aud in a few niln
utos hiories of joy brought forth all the
household. lie had, by ' poking in the
straw in the spot designated, fouud one
watch, and was almost overcome. A few
minutes' further search brought to light
the othor watch aud the chains. Now the
old man rejoices nnd Is a firm believer lit
dreams.
A Strange Worm.
A few days since, Drs. D. V. llannels
nnd C. O. Dunlap of this plaoc, were called
upon to attend a soil uT Mf. Wing, resid
ing' in Vinton township. The child Is now
SI months old, and Is uUllctod in a very
extraordinary manner in fact, in a man
nor unheard of in this nountry heretofore.
About six months ago, a blotch or discol
oration of the skin nppenred 011 the child,
aud tho blotch has sluce moved from the
calf of the leg to the nnpe of the neck aud
dowuward again to its present location,
just below the hip. The physicians were
not long In determining tho cause of the
blotch, and pronounced It a worm some
thing similar to the Guinea worm, which
frequently nfllicts Inhabitants of that hot
country. It lies curled, crossed and curved
iu different directions lu the tissues of tho
skin, nnd takes up a space of three or four
inches lu diameter.
The length of the worm is many feet and
about the thickness of the smallest string
of a violin. It has been known to move a
distance of six lnohes In a single night.
The color is thnt of apple jolly and It is
transparent, or rather semi-transparent.
The child is somewhat nervous and restless
but otherwise shows no signs of bolug af
flicted by such a monster. In treating tho
patiout the physicians made an incision
and raised n curved section of the worm
sufficient to slip under it a piece of tape.
It is said that the frequent pouring of
warm water on the p u t thus exposed will
iuduoe the Guinea worm to leave its
human tenement, although it will gener
ally vacate the premises' without surgical
aid. Aft. Gillcad (Ohio) Iiehter.
Suspicions of Foul Play.
It looks now as though murder had
keen commited iu Lycoming county, the
motive for which was the hope of securing
insurance money. A man named Joseph
Stiller, aged 74, who lived with his sou
Samuel in Clinton township, died sudden
ly a week ago to-day, and was buried the
following day. Tho ciicumstauces of
death and burial and the fact that there
was a heavy insurance upon his life in n
Selinsgrove Mutual Company created sns
picions of foul play. The Coroner was
finally notified and 1111 inquest was held.
After a post-mortem examination a ver
dict wns rendered that deceased had died
from poison administered by his sou, Sam
uel Miller. A warrant was to-day issued
for the son byJAIderman Stead of Williams
port, and oflicers went after the defendant,
who arrived here with him to-night. The
accused son held a policy of $2,000 upon
his father's life, there being over f 40,000
in all in different policies.
