2 AN INTOXICATED ROACH. A FLY ALSO GETS DRUNK ON A SIP OF CHAMPAGNE. The Hilarity Into Which Indulgence In Beer Threw a Collar Rat—A Mon key Dies of Delirium Tremens- Men With Beggarly Incomes Who Swag ger and Live Like Princes. New York, Aug. lo.—There is on Nassau street, near the region where the offices of the principal newspapers of the metropolis are iocated, a jwpular restaurant. It tins the inevitable annex of nearly every New York restaurant —a saloon. The bartender of this saloon is a naturalist of intelligence and ex tensive research. A journalist, who is him self a writer on subjects pertaining to natu ral history, called at the saloon the other day to get a lemonade and the bartender di rected his attention to a big cockroach that was imbibing the ale which hud dripped dbwn upen the marble basin under the sil ver faucet of an ale barrel. Every news paper office has its cockroaches and every journalist of experience is supposed to know all about them, but the writer in question was pained and surprised to discover that the roach, when given an opportunity, is a confirmed toper. ' The roach before men tioned had been drinking ale in the marble basm for an bour. The bartender picked it up, placed him on the counter and put him through the movements for the entertain ment of the naturalist. The roach was in u state of disgraceful intoxication. He stag gered along the counter, ran against the straw with which the naturalist had been drinking his lemonade, and fell Hat on his back. The bartender took a toothpick, helped the roach to his feet again and es corted him along the counter. The insect was blind to all obstructions, and he ran his head against a lump of ice lying on the bar. He seemed to he impressed with the fact that the ice had offered him some indignity, and he awkwardly struck at it with one fore foot. It froze the foot, and he resented the stinging sensation by striking again and again. A crowd of men about town gath ered to see the insect's antics, but the ice seemed to sober him, and be finally walked away with a comparatively steady unit and liid under the counter. The bartender said: “A roach is a happy, harmless drunkard, but liquor makes a fly quarrelsome." At that instant a big house fly fell into a glass of champagne that one of the spectators of the roach’s debauch was preparing to drink. The fly was rescued from the wine and laid on the counter. He appeared at first to be dead, but he finally revived, struggled to his feet and tried to walk away. One <>f the spoetators thrust his finger be fore the fly’s head, but liis llyship paid no heed to the net. He walked about in a cir cle and staggered like a toper. Occasionally the legs on one side of his body would give out and he would fall over on his back, wearily wave his legs in the air mid then lie motionless and supremely contented. A magnifying glass was produced and a view of the fly's countenance showed that his eyes were glassy and his expression idiotic as compared with that of the temperate fly. When the wine had begun to fully assert its power the fly struggled to his feet and proceeded to vindicate the 1 lartender’s esti mate of him. He reeled along tho counter until he met a sober fly that was making to ward a cube of loaf sugar. The toper darted toward the temperate fly and at tacked him with malice aforethought. Tho temperate fly tried in vain to escape. Then he turned on his assailant, rolled him over on his back and left him with his legs in the air. In the meantime the crowd watching the entertainment had increased to profit able proportions, and the liar was doing a briss business. There is a beer cellar in the basement of the saloon and the bartender invited the imbibers down there to see a toper rat. A little lead pijie leads down from a receptacle under the faucet of a beer barrel into a trough that catches the refuse beer The lower end of the pipe is about two inches above the trough and the latter was dry. The bartender conducted his guests into a dark corner of the cellar, then turned on the beer in a small volume and withdrew himself. In about two minutes a great gray rat with bristling whiskers and a bloated anpearence cam" warily out of a hole in the cellar. His eyes were glassy and his vision impaired. He waddled across the floor, took a precautionary look about him and then placed his mouth under the leaden pij>e through which the beer was slowly drip ping. He clung to the pipe for over five minutes and > hen waddled out into the mid dle of the cellar floor. In five minutes more the beer took effect and he liogan to enjoy himself. He was no longer stupid and awkward. He darted hither .and yon about the collar floor, he ran up the side of a barrel and took a flying jump from it and he seemed determined to give every possible evidence of his agility. The spectators in the dark corner of the cellar hurst into a loud laughter, and the rat scurried away in to the hole from which ho had emerged when he came out to get his drink. Then the bartender conducted his guests upstairs, and while the naturalist took lemonade and the rest of the party imbibed something stronger, the drink mlxor, said: “Just ns liquor makes one man quarrelsome and an other good-natured, so it causes one animal to be hilarious and another to be overbear ing. That old roach has been drinking at this bar for two years, to my certain knowl edge. He gets drunk every duy, hut is never quarrelsome. A fly, on the other hand, is alwaysoverbeoring, and when he gets drunk he will invariably try to pick u light with some other fly. ’That old rat down stairs is affected by stimulants in a totally different manner. He is a bloated old guzzler, and when he is sober he seems scarcely able to take care of himself and doesn’t np)>ear to care what becomes of him. The minute he gets drunk, however, lie becomes spry and suspicious. He will frisk aliout the cellar like 111a l, and there isn't a eat or a terrier in New York that could catch him when lie lias had his dailv dose of brer. A monkey belonging to a Mulberry Bend Italian organ grinder used to come in here every day mid get a drink. “One afternoon after he had been drink ing heavily Ik? was attacked with every •ympton of delirium tremens. He hoppisl about in a dazed manner, as if trying to get away from something. Then he fell over in a fit and died.” The crowd about the bar, which had grown to great proportions during the liar tender's lecture on nntural history, took a parting drink and then departed. When they had gone the bartender turned to his employer, who wax counting the pro ceeds that the party had left with him, and said: “That roach and rat are worth *l,OOO a year to this place to say nothing of an occasional drunken fly.” Amos J. Cummings. 11. External appearances don’t count for much in and about New York. I was im pressed with the truth of it on Sunday while a number of us were lounging on the wharf of the Larchmont Yacht Club wait ing for the wind to come out from its lair in the west. It was an ideal spot. No club in the world has cozier quarters. The blue waters of the Hound were stretched out lie fore u*. dotted by innumerable anil beautf ful yachts, the pretty club grounds stretched along the shore, and the air was delicious, despite the lack of wind. The service of the club appeals to the heart of any man who believes in creature comfort, for tho thirsty clubman rnay get a drihk at aoy time by applying to the telephone that ruiis from all parts ot the grounds direct to tho cafe. As we sat there smoking and chatting op the wharf u crack yacht loomed majes tically up around the point and drifted like a lazy beauty Jo the wharf. She is tho property of a successful broker, and hns won many a crack i-are; but the broker was not aboard. Some of his friends were, how ever, and they came ashore and stared hard •I urn We /oft. uncouth and 111 at ease. The I arrivals consisted of one large and impress j ivc Hebrew, one diminutive ditto; a dude in | a blazer and a girl with a wart on the port I side of the nose just aft of the sheer. Bar | ring tho wart the girl was rather smooth. I ! am not treating her with profound respect ! because she is far beyond tne plane of the I res|>ectabM She were a stunning gown of soft, red weed, canvas yachting shoes, a J jaunty red Tam O’Shanter on her yellow I curls and a marine glass wax slung over her j shoulder. She raised a quizzing glass and looked us all over with measureless disdain as she Stepps! ashore, though she knew that every man there knew she was of the com monest of the common run in New York. The dude in the blazer screwed a single glass to his eve and wandered along by her side. He looked as though his very heart ached at the idea of mixing with the com mon herd of mankind. The other two were gorgeous in yachting flannels with caps, gold lace and rubber soled boots. They swaggered and a man on my left, who owns a *50,000 steam yacht, pulled his battered old straw hat further down over his eyes and said softly; “Jimminie crack, but that knocks me cold.” “Everybody knows who the woman is,” I said, “and I recognize the boy as a clerk in a shop on Broadway, where they sell Egyp tian tobacco.” “But do you know who the other two gorgeous creatures are ?” asked the yachts man with some emphasis. “No; never saw thorn before. Who are they?" “Halemen in my place down in Beaver street . Neither of them makes more than *1,500 a year, according to the books, and jet they're ax rich as California millionaires apparently.’ 1 Ile,kept on wondering how it could bo done and nianj’ a man has followe i his exam ple. No ene can explain from what source nine-tenths of the people of Now York who look like bullion kiugadraw their incomes, anil tho more one learns about the real standing of many of tho howling rounders who lend picturesqueness to tho town tho more complete is tho surprise.

Besides, it would cost me about t werity thousand a year. ” Blakely Hall. CLASSIC CITY SENSATIONS. A Bullet Fired Into a Train—Mrs. Ed wards Back From Macon. Athens, Ga., Aug. IH.—Last night after the passenger train oil the Northeastern railroad had left Gillsville, a station this side of Lula junction, on its return to Athens, a grating sound Was heard like the breaking of glass. The startled passengers immediately rose to their feet. Mrs. Steel, a daughter of Col. W. H. Newton, of Mays ville, stated that several small particles of glass had been knocked in her face. A small round hole was also found in the win dow directly in front of where the lady was sitting. As the train was going at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour the report of a pistol could not have been heard however near it might have been, neither was there a ball found in the car. It is the belief of all present, however, that the hole in the window was made with a small calibre pistol. A passenger stated to the News correspondent, who was on hoard, that as the fragments of glass were scattered on the lady in the seat behind the hole, he thought the person must have shot at the coach as it approached him. No one was occupying the seat next to the broken win dow at tho time the shooting occurred. MRS. EDWARDS’ RETURN. Among the arrivals on the midnight train last night was Mrs. Florida Edwards, of Macon, the surviving member of tho Wool folk family. Owing to nervous prostration Mrs. Edwards was confined to her bed to-day. A News correspondent called on her this morning, but was told that she would probably see him in a day or two. Alderman J. V. Murray, who got into a diffieultj - several weeks ago with Koliert Heaves and shot him, came in this after noon and gave himself up. He was released uiion X’J.IKHI bond. The friends of Mr. Murray claim that he has not been but a short distance from the city, and when wanted was reached in two hours. Mr. Reaves, the man who was shot, is gradually improving and is able to sit up in bed. The remains of Robert. Brittain, who died Monday at Milledgeville, were brought to this city this morning and interred in Oco nee cemetery. A large number of friends of the deceased met the remains at the Northeastern railroad and accompanied them to the grave. HOMICIDE AT McDONOUGH. C B. Line Kills R. H.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, AUGUST 14, 1887. A RICE COMPACT Combination Made by Some New Or leans Millers. From the yew Orleans Times-Democrat. That a combination of rice millers in tho < city of New’ Orleans had been formed was given out in commercial circles yesterday. The movement was started about three ! months ago, but was no* made public. There w’as a general war among the millers last j’ear, and the result was, according to the statement of a large miller, “No one made any money, and in some instances lost. With a view to self-protection wo have come together, deeming it useless to inaugu rate another war, which can oulj’ result in disaster.” The rice when taken from the field is sent to the commission merchants, who have made advances thereon. Tho planters who have not received advances on their crop generallj' hold the rice on the plantation, awl wait for buyers. When the rice reaches the city it is placed in the hands of the broker, who puts it on the market for sale. Tho millers buy it. Under the combina tion it is proposed that the millers shall no longer appear as buyers, but that a man be selected by the combination, whose duty it shall be to purchase the rice desired by each mill in the compact. THE COMBINATION. “Who are in the combination;” “Perseverance, two mills, owned by Louis Reuch: Southern. Warner & Roder; Louisi ana. Philip Hoeteel, Jr., & Co;Hope, Reuch & Hay ward; Lanaux Mill, O. A. Lanaux; Enterprise, <fc Allen; Daniels ito Lj’ons’ Mill; St. Louis Mill, E. Daboval;Or leans, J. Foerster. “The mills that are not in the combination are: Foerster Mill, Ernest & Cos.; Planters’ Rice Mill, J. Buhler; Crescent City Rice Mill, A. Socola; David Mill. Joseph David; Levy Mill, Isaac Levy. In the mills outside qif tho combination more capital is represented than in the combination. There are three mills on the lower coast and two on the upper coast, and two mills on Bayou La fourche.” In speaking of the new crop, a miller said: “Tho now rice that, is coming in is not sufficient to start the mills. The bulk of the rice received duftng the present week is either green or wet, on account of tho fre quent showers of rain. Several of tho mills are working old stock, which is preferred to the new nee. What the rice needs to-day to make it marketable is dry weather.” “The object of the combination," said a prominent miller, not in the combination, “is that last year the mind’s made r.o money, because the receivers did not give them A FAIR SHOW. grinding them down to a margin of 40c. Suppose 1 pay *5 for rough rice; it is sold at *:i 40. Now, it is entirely out of the question for u man to mill at 40c. margin, when breakdowns, wear and tear is consid ered. If this combination will work on a 76c. margin, which they propose to do, no miller outside of the combination can com pete with them, because that margin is just as small as any mill can work on, make re pairs and a living. “Three years ago a combination was formed under the name of the Millers' As sociation, and the margin then was fixed at *1 25, and a profit was made. The combi nation did not last very long, because the millers were only allowed to buy rice on that margin, but third parties came in and bought up the rice at an advance of 5c., at the instance of certain millers, to whom it was transferred, and when this was found out the combination bursted. “The planters and receivers of rice are alarmed. There need he no fear of this, for the mills outside the combination cannot work nt a lower rate titan the combination price, which has been fixed ut 75e. margin. THE GREAT OBJECTION to the continuation by those outside of it is that one man is to be made a judge; he is to have the power to buy tho rice for all the mills. Now, that is a great power to give a man who will have to determine what, each bag of rice will make when clean, and if h" don’t judge well he will get ’old Harry.’ To be safe he will make an inside margin, and this is what alarms the planter and re ceivej, nnd the outside millers say they don’t want a man to buy their rice—‘l want to lmv my own goods.’ "The margin to-day is not over 75c. totho miller, and the combination propose to fix it at 75c\, and if they do, it will lie impos sible! for outside mills to go beneath that figure. “The planter and receiver holds the power because the clean rice dealer notes the rough riee market, and if rough rice is sold to-day at 3e. per pound in the rough, the receiver naturally the next day, when offered for sale, will try to buy it" ut 3%e. per pound clean, which is 75c. margin. “If any miller will sell his riee for less than that price of rough rice will lie re duced the next day. The clean rice shipper is a keen observer of the rough rice market. The miller is the middle man; if the planter sells n barrel of rice at .$3 in the rough, that sale is recorded on ’Change; the next dnv the clean rice dealer will offer the miller the outside price, $3 75, for that rice.” In conclusion the gentleman said: “I am not in the combination and do not intend to go into it, and I assure you that no miller can make a living if lie works tpr less tluin 70c. jx>r liarrel. A mill can he put in every sugar house and town in the riee dis trict and they cannot mill any cheaper than the combination propose, and if they carry < > this proposition to work on a 75c. mar gin the outside mills will buy the rice on a 75c. margin, but they will not permit any mail to buy the rice for them.” Columbus Chapters.

A BUTTON SAVES A YOUNG WOMAN FROM BEING A MURDERESS. She Takes the Part of Her Landlady- Resenting an Insult She Shoots Miss Jennings Three Times, Misses Her Fourth Shot, and Resumes Her Fancy Work. From the New York Sun Auy. 13. Miss Dolores Dartmoore, reputed to be the daughter of a wealthy planter living near St. Augustine, Fia., who is spending the summer on Staten Island, shot Miss Mary Jennings, a j’oung woman who had formerly boarded at the same house, three times yesterday afternoon, and missed kill ing her only by accident. The summer home of Miss Dartmoore is the old Winchester Mansion at the corner of DeKay and Bard avenues, West New Brighton. George William Curtis lives a block below, and Banker Louis Hoyt’s country estate is right across the street. Mrs. Anna McKernan, who is not living with her husband, keeps the boarding house, but Miss Dartmoore is at present the sole boarder. Until about the middle of June Mis. Mary Jennings also boarded with Mrs. McKemnn, but at that time went to Yonk ers, leaving behind her one trunk and a debt, Mrs. McKernan says of $5. 1 According to Mrs. McKernan, Miss Jen nings reached the house yesterday a short time before 2 o’clock, and walked up the winding path through the tree-covered lawn to the front portico, where she found Mrs. McKernan sitting in an easy chair. Miss Jennings said that she had come to see about her trunk. “Your trunk is all right and just as you left it,” said Mrs. McKernan, “but you "are not going to take it until you pay me the *5 you owo me." Miss Jennings replied with some warmth that she would get that trunk first and see about the debt afterward. A vigorous dis cussion followed, during which both women lost their tempers and called each other very harsh names. Finally, according to Miss Kitty McKernan, the pretty 16-year old daughter of Mrs. McKernan, Miss Jen nings got so angry that she first flourished her umbrella around Mrs. McKernan’s head, and then, taking a pair of sharp pointed scissors from her pocket, said she would stick them into Mrs. McKernan unless allowed to go to her t runk. Mrs. McKer nan is an invalid. Miss Dartmoore and Miss Kitty had both been attracted to the portico liv the loud scolding. When this violent demonstration was made they called a domestic, Julia Howland, and, with her assistance, carried Mrs. McKernan to her room and locked the door on her. Miss Jen. nings, they say, was now almost frantic with rage. Miss Dartmoore then walked into the hall where the trunk stood, and found Miss Jen nings bending over it, taking out a pair of shoes. Miss Jennings locked the trunk, stood up, and began to tell Miss Dartmoore what a bad lot of people the house con tained. Miss Dartmoore ordered her to leave the house at once. Miss Jennings replied disdainfully. Miss Dartmoore said, “If you don’t go I’ll throw you out.” Miss Dartmoore’s weight is 110 pounds, and Miss Jennings is much larger, but, according to the McKernans, that wickwl look in Miss Durtmoore’seyes was worth forty pounds ot muscle, and Miss Jennings stepped out of the hall to the portico. Then Miss Dartmoore went iuto tho parlor on the right of the lmll and stood by a front window to see if Miss Jennings left the yard. Miss Jennings stopped on the portico, and looking around saw Miss Dartmoore. Tho window is di vided vertically, and one-half was swung open and the other closed. Just what it was that animated 51 iss Jennings at that moment the McKemuns will not tell, but something Miss Dartmoore said, it is supposed by the police, so exasperated her that, raising her umbrella, she struck a violent blow with it through the window. The umbrella missed the opening and crashed through a big thirty-inch glass. At the same time she called Miss Dartmoore a vile name. Miss Dartmoore, Teaching to a pocket located somewhere in her skirts, pulled out a small nickel-plated revolver of 33-calibre, raised it deliberately, and tired square at Miss Jennings’s head. Tlie bullet pierced her left cheek. Miss Jennings whirled around as if to fly, but Miss Dnrttnoore’s blood was up, and she blazed away again, the bullet striking Miss Jennings in tne fleshy part of the right fore-arm. Miss Jennings, too much fright ened to know what to do, stood still, faring her assailant, and screamed. Miss Dartmoore this time aimed to kill. The bullet sped straight for her victim’s heart, but a huge button on her left breast intervened. The button Was shattered, but the bullet was turned. By this time, apparently, Miss Dartmoore had become a trifle nervous, for when she fired again she entirely missed the mark. Miss Jennings had meantime gained her wits enough to fly, and, ns she ran off tho portico, Miss Dartmoore ceased firing. The row had called Miss Dartmoore from her sew ing in the sitting room. After the shooting she coolly walked back, sat down in her easy chair, picked up a cloth nnd wiped the smoke off of the revolver, drew the empty shells, put loaded ones in their places, and then, after stowing the re volver in the secret recesses of her skirt, picked up her fancy work and went on with it, remarking that she did not think Miss Jennings would coma back after that trunk right away. Meanwhile with the blood streaming down from the bullet hole in her cheek and drip ping from the finger ends of her right hand. Miss Jennings walked one block to St. Aus tin’s School where she know there was a telephone. As well ns she could with a bul let hi the upper part of her mouth she asked the janitor that the police and a surgeon lie telephoned for. Inspector Cobb and Police man Simokoff hurried to the school with a carriage, and placing Miss Jennings in it sent her to the West New Brighton police station, where Dr. William C. Walser at t ind i her. The two officer* then went up to the Winchester mansion. Mis; Dartmoore greeted the officers com posedly, and the Inspector, hat in hand, asked her where tho woman was who had shot Miss Jennings. With the air of one somewhat injured and surprised by the question, Miss Dartmoore replied: "Why, i ain the one.” The Inspector told her ho would havo to arrest her. She got into a carriage as calmly ns though going out for a drive. At the station she looked without apparent in terest ut Miss Jennings. She was taken be fore Justice of the Peace Powers, to whom she said she would make no statement until sho secured counsel. The Justice held her on a charge of felonious assault and assault with intent to kill, fixing bail ut *I,OOO. Miss Dartmoore knew no one to whom she could apply to serve as bondsman, and was locked qji in cell A, the best one in the station, but there - was no furniture in it save a side wooden bench. There she re mained during the night. She was singing cheerily a |®rt of the evening. A reporter asked Miss Kitty McKernan nnd her brother Willie about Miss Dart moore’s history. Willie liegan to talk un reservedly but Miss Kitty frowned on him awfully, and then smiled sweetly at the re])orter and said, "We positively don’t know one single thing about her.” Miss Dartmoore is small in figure; has long dark hair and largo brown eyes that light up mi unusuaUv lieautiful face. Her form is plump und her manner vivacious. She told the police that her father gave her a regu'ar allowance ovory year, which she siient pretty much as she pleased. She expect* to have an income of *30,000 a year when some logoi difficulties are out of the wav. The police say that Miss Dartmoore had put up enough money to keep Mrs. McKer nan’s establishment going without any other boarders. Miss Dartuioore's chief compan ions were two enormous Siberian blood hounds and two vary handsome bird dogs. Miss Dartmoore frequently practiced with her pistol at a target on the lawn. The police said last night that so far as they knew, Miss Dartmore had not tele graphed to her father about her trouble. After Dr. Walser hail attended Miss Jen nings at the police station she was taken to the Smith Infirmary. Tho doctors do not think her wounds are dangerous. MUledgeviUe Mention.
