LATEST OAKLAND NEWS "Capitano Garibaldi" Killed by a Southern Pacific Engine. END OF A aUEER CHARACTER. Mayor Davie Watching the Electric Roads Drowned In the Bay. Ghrizzo Lorenzo, better known as Capitano Garibaldi," one of Oakland's many queer characters, was killed by the "fly" engine on the broadgauge local at about o'clock on Friday evening. The engine, in charge of Conductor Lidell and Engineer Goff, was running to the mole to bring up the last local, and neither of the railroad employes knew that they had run over a man until they were told of it on their return trip.

It is believed that the deceased, while intoxicated, lay down on the track and went to sleep. (apitano Garibaldi," who was once an officer in the Italian army, left Italy, for political reasons, about twenty years ago, and settled in Oakland, where he followed the occupation of a gardener. He bore a striking resemblance to the Italian soldier, whose name he adopted, and prided himself in dressing as the latter His mammoth chest was always arrayed in a flamkig-red shirt, which, with his long beard, tierce mustache and piarcing eyes, gave him a striking appearance, it was vis custom to go armed to the teeth, a huge knife being slung at one side, while a hatchet depended from the other. Other knives of smaller dimensions were carried about his person, and he usually carried a heavy knotty club. Though harmless when sober Garibaldi was ferocious when under the influence of raw wine, a condition into which he frequently lapsed, and was the terror of the xihildrenoJ West Oakland, whom he was in i he uabit of chasing if thep Jeven stared at him as he strode majestically up the street.

He was also much feared by the adults in tne neighborhood. When on. a Hill "razzle-dazzle" he would stand in the middle of one of the main thoroughfares nourishing his club and roaring "Garibaldi" in a voice that could be heard for blocks around. Garibaldi had some means when he came to Oakland and accumulated quiti a fortune working at gardening and ia fortunate real-estate ventures. He was always ed with coin, and owned in addition to the house on Center street, in which he lived, a productive ranch in Sonoma County and property in other parts of the State.

Once to back up his assertion that he was in a good tinancial condition he exhibited a bankbook which showed tnat he had $14,000 on deposit. He lived alone, a nephew who joined him some years ago having left his roof and board because tie could not agree with his uncle. His only companion was a large savage log, who kept strangers away from the house. Some time ago he was arrested for insanity, but was discharged after getting sober and showing that his intellect was still clear. He was also arrested several times for misdemeanors committed while in his cups, but always managed to escape heavy penalties.

When picked up by a police officer his knife and hatchet were found strapped to his waist and his club by his Garibaldi was about GO years of age, and a line specimen of manhood. Cars Bun Too Fast. For some time past complaints have been reaching Mayor that the electric-cars running through the city were exceeding the limit of speed allowed them by ordinance, and that the regulation requiring the motormen to sound their bells at streeticrossings was not being complied with. The. Mayor determined to look into the matter personally, and the result of his investigations is told in the following letter whicn he forwarded to the superintendent of the Oakland, Brooklyn and Fruitvale Railroad: yesterday I was a passenger on one of your Eighthstreet cars yesterday, and while the car was 11 the rate of twenty miles per hour the motorman neglected to sound the alarm efore our arrival at any of the cross Now.

sir, if yon do not compel your motor. osoandtheii gongs before their cars'arrival at each street crossing you will find your service very badly crippled, as I shall instruct the police force to arrest ail motormen who neglect to sound their alarm of approach. While I am Mayor the rights ot citizens on i '1 is vehicles must be respected, and if their rights be again ignored by the several streetcar as I have witnessed of late ierenu occasions serious complications will surely arise. li.c people shall not be indiscriminately run down not their lives so jeopardized wrien a costless obligatory consideration on the part of tiie motormen will lessen the probabilities of s-ueh unlocked for casualties, if my disposition to- prevent it can be effective. Mayor Davie says that he will see that tne matter is attended to if he has to personally the police to enforce the ordinance which was passed to enable them arrest careless motormen.

To-morrow morning warrants charging them with misdemeanor in neglecting to keep the space between the sidewalks and curbs in front of their property clean and clear of obstructions will be served on Councilman Marshall, F. N. Page, W. G. Henshaw and Gray Naismith.

The ordinance requiring weeds and other obstructions to be cut away was passed some time ago, and Councilman Marshall was one of those who voted for the measure. The Superintendent of Streets has decided to" enforce the order, and unless some 200 property-holders, who have been notified that they are delinquent in the matter, attend to it at once more arrests will probably follow. Wollnar Not Insane. Rudolph Wollner, the aged man who was sent in from the County Infirmary by Dr. Clark, the superintendent, to be tried for insanity, is still in the County Jail, though Sheriff White declares tHat he is perfectly sane, and should be sent back to his home.

At the time Wollner and bis companions were examined by Drs. Stratton and Hess, Judge Frick warned Dr. Clark that he should in future be careful about those he charges with insanity, while Dr. Stratton told the superintendent that a careful study of the affidavit which he is required to swear to when charging the inmates of his institution with insanity would be of benefit to him. the Bay.

Daniel Sullivan, a 12-year-old boy who lived with his parents on Linden street, near Twenty-second, was drowned in the bay, neat Sixteenth-street station, about noon yesterday. Sullivan had been swimming with a number of other boys and ventured beyond bis depth, when he was seized with cramps and sank before assistance could reach him. The lad's companions reported the matter to the police. Cut Her Wrist. Mary McGrata, an elderly woman living at 829 Center street, came very near bleeding to death last evening before she could be conveyed to the Receiving Hospital- She was on her way home carrrying a glass pitcher when she slipped on an orange peel and fell to the sidewalk.

The pitcher broke and the fragments cut into her wrist, severing an artery, trom which quantities of blood poured, and she was in a very weak condition before the surgeon was able to stop the flow. Fears are entertained of her recovery. "The American Girl," To-morrow and Tuesday evenings the attraction at the Macdonougn will be H. Grattan Donnelly's great production, "The American Girl." This play has enjoyed a four weeks' run in San Francisco and was pronounced to be the shining light of all the new comedy dramas. It is a play of great interest and introduces two clever children little Nina Cook and Master James Horn.

George Osbourne has made a pronounced -hit as Colonel Ross-Bolter, the American manager. Seats are selling rapidly at popular prices. In New Hands. The Galindo Hotel, which has changed management so many times during the past few years, has gone into new hands and will in future be conducted by Brown Boquet. The former has been clerk of the hotel for some time past and has had a long experience in the business.

His partner has been in the liquor business under the Galindo for several years. Both are native sons and well known, and under their management the house will be conducted as a strictly first-class establishment. Health Officers Appointed. As was expected the new Board of Health, which held its first meeting on Friday evening, appointed I)r. J.

L. Mayon Health Officer of the city. The new official is a Populist and the salary attached to his position is $150 per month. Secretary Paul Schafer was succeeded by E. W.

Thurmau. also a Populist. Dr. E. T.

Pierce was reappointed market and milk inspector. ALAMEDA. The excursion of the union Sundayschools of Alanieda to Glenwood, in the Santa Cruz Mountains, yesterday was probably not only the largest of the season, but the largest outing of Sundayschool pupils over the narrow-gauge road. There were two trains, each of which had ten cars, and everything went well until the first section of the excursion arrived at Park street, where a fatal accident was only prevented by the prompt action of Officer Schoenau. Arthur Baker attempted to jump on the train, but was handicapped by a package.

He seized the railing with one hand, but was turned in such a manner as to fall between two cars. The officer swung himself under the car bei tween the steps and seizing the little fellow drew him out uninjured. The Falkenburg Keception. The reception which Spruce Camp No. 132, Woodmen of the World, will give Cousui F.

A special meeting of Citizens' Hook and Ladder Company has been called for this morning at 11 o'clock to make arrangements for the parade Thursday. DOG PETE'S COMMON-SENSE.

No Pedigree and No Repertory of Tricks, but He Knew a Good Deal. He was not a thoroughbred, high-toned dog with an ancestry that made him a canine aristocrat. He was a plebeian hound, democratic and homespun in his ways, with a degree of intelligence and common-sense that would do credit to man, the speaking animal. His name was Pete, and for fourteen years he was a member of the family of N. M.

right of East Hartford. He had a good head on him for a dog, and many of his feats of mindpower, so to speak, are traditions in the family. He knew all the members of the family when their various names were called, and would approach the mother or the aunt whenever told to do so, and never made a mistake, says the Hartford Courant. One instance of Pete's sagacity i 3 worth noting as showing the quality oi the dog. It was during the period of heavy snow and impassable roads immediately succeeding the March blizzard of 1888.

One member of the family was away from home six miles and a naif, and sick. There was no way to get any word to or from her, with the snow six to ten feet deep in the roads. Pete was familiar with the place where the sick person was, and how to get there. He also appeared very nervous, and evidently missed the sick one from the house. One day it occurred that communication might 'be established by Pete.

A note was tied about his neck, and he was told to go and find the sick one. He plugged into the snow, made his way six miles and a half, gained entrance tofthe house, rushed into the sickroom, and jumped upon the bed. The note was read, an answer tied to Pete's collar, and he was sent back. He made the round trip ia two hours and a half, and each day for two weeks made the same trip, varying scarcely a minute from two hours and a half on any trip. Well, Pete grew old.

He was weak, his teeth were gone, and it was bard lines for the old hound. Mr. Wright, although he had shot many animals in his capacity as agent for the Humane Society, could'not bring himself to part coinpuny with a friend that had done such faithful service and been so worthy a member of his family. So it happened that one day this week Dwight W. Thrall, the general agent of the society, was out in Hartford, and he was called upon to perform the sad ortice.

Pete was sent across the Btyx painlessly at the muzrle of Mr. Thrall's revolver. His body was put in a new pine box and he was accorded a decent burial, and there were real tears from those who loved him. Fooling the Mrs. Meekton was standing on the front doorstep when her husband came home.

"Henry," she said, in a loud tone, "here's your income-tax blank. Youd better fill it out right away." "Great Scott, Maria he exclaimed, "what do I want with an income-tax blank?" talk so loud, was the admonition, in a subdued but stern key; "it's a summons to serve on the jury. The next door neighbors on both sides of us have been sitting behind the closed windowblinds waiting for you to come home, so they could find out what the officer was here for, and I'm just giving their imaginations a Worcester Bdv. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 12, 1895. PISTOLS AT THE POTRERO Weigher Dunlap Is Shot At Four Times by Joseph Placke.

CAREIES NO LEAD, HOWEVEB. His Would-Be Murderer Arrested. Other News From the South Side. Edward Dunlap, nieht weigher at the California sugar refinery, narrowly escaped being mardered late Friday afternoon. One of the men, named Joseph Placke, an Austrian, who until the night previous had been working under Mr.

Dunlap, shot at' him four times with a revolver, none of the shots, however, taking effect. Placke was subsequently arrested and sent by Sergeant Bennett of the Potrero police station over to the Central station. He had a charge of assault with intent to commit murder lodged against him. The case will come up for preliminary examination Monday. Placke lived at the Pennsylvania Hotel until a week ago, when he moved to his brother's house on Sierra street.

His brother is a fireman at the refinery. The attempt upon the life of Mr. Dunlap was the result of an imaginary grievance. On Thursday night Placke's working partner did not appear. Where he is employed at the dock loading sacks of crude sugar on to the cars, to be taken up the tramway to the melting pans, the men work by two's.

Placke complained about his accustomed companion not being there and Mr. Dunlap told him to turn in and help another two, to which Placke objected and refused to work. He told Mr. Dunlap he "would get even with nim." Friends subsequently told Dunlap to look out for Placke, that he had a pistol and "was laying for him." Placke had the name of being a "bad man," and is said to have been in the habit of carrying a bowie knife. Mr.

Dunlap was, therefore, advised to arm him. elf as a matter of precaution, which he did, borrowing the night watchman's revolver. He was on his way to return the borrowed weapon about 5:45 p.m., and was passing along the fence of trife barrel factory when Placke accosted him with the question, "Why did you discharge me?" Mr. Dunlap explained that he had discharged that Placke had voluntarily quit his job. Placke, however, refused to accept the explanation, and, repeating the question between his teeth and with an ugly gleam in his eyes, made a motion as if to pull out a pistol.

For that Dunlap was prepared. He already had his revolver pointed toward Placke, though the latter could not see it, as it was in the righthand pocket of Mr. Dunlap's sack coat. Mr. Dunlap told the latter to be that he "had the drop on him." Placke turned his head, and Dunlap thinking this was his opportunity, broke away and succeeded in getting through the sugar refinery gate.

It was while Mr. Dunlap was running that Placke sent his four shots after him. He says he threw his pistol into the water. Sergeant Bennett had Officers Eastman and Madden watch the home of Placke's brother, and about 9 o'clock Placke was arrested there. THE MISSION DISTRICT.

Various Matters ot Interest to the Residents of the Big South Side. Property-owners along the San Bruno road are agitating in favor of an appropriation of $10,000 for the macadamizing of the road out to the county line. San Mateo County has offered to put the rest of the road in a splendid condition if San Francisco will do its part. The paving used by San Mateo is from a seashell deposit some distance from the beach. "This," says Secretary H.

F. Wynne of the Folsom-street Improvement Club, "makes a very good quality of pavement for country roads. It hardens into a fine cement. The walks and driveways in Cypress Lawn cemetery demonstrate its peculiar quality in this respect." Railroad avenue improvements, say South San Francisco property-owners, have cost nearly $300,000. Of that amount about $200,000 was expended on the fill to the Potrero.

Nothing has yet been done toward pulling down the dilapidated building on the old Bay View track. The remains of G. E. Watson, who committed suicide Monday, were shipped to Vermont yesterday by the Golden Gate Undertaking Company. There has been Home talk of having a meeting in the Potrero Opera-house to agitate the proposition of filline in the dumps at the foot of Channel street.

Numerous Uagstaffs are making their appearance in the well-kept grounds of Mission residences. The theosophists have opened a branch reading-room at 2207 Mission street. Several new horse markets have lately been started in the Mission. Among the social events at the Mission during the' week was a reception given by Miss Dottie and Harry Sallenger at their home on Florida street. Assistant Secretary Harry Dodge of the Mission branch of the Young Men's Christian Association was at Santa Rosa during the carnival.

Alfred Morehaus, for many years driver for Rogers' Express, will seek his fortune in the Alaska gold fields. Captain N. Anderson and family have removed to Santa Rosa. Rev. S.

M. Dodge left for Honolulu on the steamer Alameda. Miss Genevieve Boyle will spend the summer in Sacramento. To-day the third quarterly conference will be held at the Trinity Methodist Church. Rev.

John Coyle, presiding elder, will preach at the evening services. Last Friday evening Miss Nellie Berkeley was tendered a surprise party at the residence of her parents, on Twenty-third street. AN EAR POR WORDS. Rhyming Game," a Good Way of Passing a Rainy Evening. Besides an ear for music there is such a thing as an ear for words.

There are tympanums seemingly incapable of catching the nice distinctions of rhyme. One rainy evening at a summer resort the pariorful of unfortunates resorted to the "rhyming game" as a last resort to disperse the boredom in the air. The "rhyming game" consists in one victim saying to another: "I'm thinking of something that rhymes with blank." Victim No. 2 cudgels his brains a bit and then says: "Is it rank?" "No, it is not rank," says Victim No. 1.

"Well, then its bank," ventures another victim, and this goes on until some one makes a correct guess, when he is rewarded by taking victim No. I's place, and in his turn springing rhyming possibilities upon the other victims. Upon this particular occasion an old man was worrying the victims for all he was worth with a word that he declared rhymed with "table." Every victim in the room suggested every word he could think of cable, Mabel," and the like until the list was seemingly exhausted. "It's a splendid rhyme," the old man kept saying. "But I don't believe you'll ever guess it, which, of course, but spurred the victims on to fresh mnemonic gymnastics.

At last, weary and worn, they gave it up unanimously. "Well, it's ladle," an-, nounced the old gentleman complacently. "Ladle." thA victims. "Buithev do not rhyme." 'Oh, yes, they do," persisted the old gentleman. "Table, ladleladle, why.

they rhyme beautifully. 1 never heard a better rhyme." And no amount of argument on the part of the frenzied victims could convince him of the contrary. New York Evening Sun. A SON OF MAEIE LOUISE. Death in an Asylum of a Son of Napoleon's Second Wife.

Justice Wilhelm Albrecht of Montenuovo, who died a fortnight ago at the famous private lunatic asylum at Doebling, near Vienna, was a son of the Empress Marie Louise, second wife of Napoleon and consequently a half-brother of the ill-fated lad who was ushered into the world at the Tuileries as King of Rome, and who died mysteriously at Schoenbrunn as Duke of Reichstadt. Tne father of Prince Montenuovo was the ill-favored and one-eyed Field Marshal Count yon Neipperg, who, on the deportation of Napoleon to St. Helena, was appointed to the post of high chamberlain and chief officer of the household of the Empress. As many of our readers will recall he figures conspicuously in Sardou's current drama, "Mme. Sans Gene," says the Philadelphia Telegraph.

It is asserted that the Austrian Kaiser's object in selecting a man of Neipperg's unlovely appearance to act as controller of his daughter's court was for the purpose of avoiding the scandal which was apprehended if he had chosen a more attractivelooking officer. The good intentions of his most apostolic Majesty were, howwer, frustrated, for Marie Louise fell deeply in love with the grisly old warrior, who had been appointed more for the purpose of acting as a Cerberus than anything else, and gave him her hand in marriage within a fortnight of receiving the news of her first husband's death at St. Helena. Unfortunately Prince Montenuovo was born just a year before Napoleon's demise took place, which was exceedingly awkward. The difficulty which presented itself was to find a name for him.

According to the technical terms of law he was entitled to the name of Bonaparte, haying been born during the wedlock of his mother with the French Emperor. As, however, the latter had been a prisoner in the Southern Atlantic, at a distance of many thousand miles from his wife, during the five years preceding the child's birth, it was deemed inadvisable to attempt to foster him on the Bonapartes. On the other hand, the brothers and relatives of Count Neipperg resolutely declined to permit the child to bear their name. The Neippergs are one of the proudest and most ancient houses of the Austrian nobility, and they haughtily refused to permit the illegitimate child of one of their number to be entitled to the rights and privileges of the family, deeming their descent quite as noble and as ancient as that of the Hapsburgs. One of their amiable remarks came to the ears of old Emperor Franz, who adopted a characteristic method of punishing them for it.

He announced his intention of caring for the child, and conferred upon it the title and name of Count Montenuovo, which is nothing else than the Italian translation of the word Neipperg. He also settled large estates in Hungary upon the boy, and as the latter grew up to manhood lost no opportunity of advancing his interests in every way. Fortunately young Montenuovo inherited none of the Neip- Eerg ugliness, but only his mother eauty. Indeed, he bore a most remarkable resemblance to the pictures which remain of the Empress Marie Lonise, and to those of his half-brother, the King of Rome. Prince Montenuovo entered early into the army, and his career was one of the most eventful and honorable that could well be imagined.

He especially distinguished himself during the revolution of 1848-49, and for an act of bravery during the battle of Isakzek, on April 6, 1849, he was decorated with the Order of Maria Theresa. He likewise distinguished himself at the battles of Magenta and of Solferino, while acting as a general officer, and after the war he became commanding general in Transylvania and later at Prague. In 1864 the present Emperor raised him to the rank of a prince of the empire, and appointed him a member of the Privy Council. Fortune appeared to lavish all her gifts on the half-brother of the Duke of Reichstadt until about fifteen years ago, when he was suddenly stricken with an acute form of dementia, which rendered it necessary that he should be placed under restraint. From that time until his death he was an inmate of the asylum of Drs.

Krafft-Ebing and Yon Leidesdorff at Doebling, a pretty village situated about an hours drive from Vienna. Several of the persons under restraint, both there and in the branch establishment at Gratz, are of royal birth, while there is hardly a patient who is not entitled to wear the coronet of a duke, prince or count. Many of them have figured prominently in the contemporary history of Europe, while the lives of not a few are enveloped in romance, but in no case has there been a stranger history than that of Prince Montenuovo. Prince Montenuovo was all his life passionately fond of music, and after the loss of his reason music because the only means of soothing the fits of insane rage to which he was frequently subject. Both a grand piano and a large organ were included in the furniture of his luxuriously appointed suite of apartments in the asylum, and almost every afternoon strains of melody might be heard issuing from the windows of his room, played by a most accomplished musician, whose services had been permanently retained by the demented Prince.

Prince Montenuovo was married to Countess Julie Batthyany, and is survived by three children Princess Albertine.married to Count Sigismund Wielopolski; Prince Alfred of Monteuuovo, married to Countess Fanny Kinsky, and Princess Marie, ried to Count Anthony Apponyi. Prince Alfred paid a visit to this country in 1876, and created something of a sensation in the fashionable circles of New York, Newport and Saratoga. THE BLAOK GAP. How It Was That Judges Came to Wear Them. "Why does the judge in a Criminal Court assume the black cap when pronouncing sentence of death?" is a question frequently asked.

This is because covering the head has from the earliest times been regarded as a sign of mourning. Numerous examples of this occur in the Scriptures, in the classics and in modern literature. "The ancient English," says Dudley Fosbrooke, in his monumental work on archaeology, "drew their hoods over their heads at funerals. We read also in Peck's Curiosa of "the congregation, a very great one, sitting in the choir to hear the funeral sermon, all covered," at the burial of Bishop Cox in Ely Cathedral in the year 15S1. "Not only do the Jews keep their hats on their heads" at funerals, but in some countries they still wear black caps at weddings, in token'of mourning for the destruction of the Temple.

Another reason is that the black cap forms a part of the full dress of the Judge, which is worn only on extraordinary occasions. The black flag, hoisted upon prison walls as a signal that the last sentence of the law has been carried out, was first employed by Tamerlane, Khan of the Tartars, in the fourteenth century. Whenever a beleaguered city refused to surrender after a certain period, he displayed a black flag, to proclaim that 'the time for mercy is now past, and the city is given up to Transcript. Came Into It Soon. A grouty old gentleman, after making his will, called his serving-man, and remarked: "Michael, I've left you in my will all the impudence I possess." Faith, I'm glad to see that by your generosity I inherit the greater part of your estate.

"Well, well, Michael, you've come Into your inheritance remarkably Harper's Young People. Coleridge reverenced his mother. He "A mother is a mother still, holiest thinsr aliva." IN THREE DAYS. A Xew Vessel to Cross the Atlantic in That Time. The latest design of the many steamers that have been designed in miniature to cross the Atlantic in three days is now on exhibition in the shape of a working model.

The inventor is Richard Painton, and he is confident he has the vessel that will do the business. The idea of the new model is that of the centipede lots of legs on each side, and the more legs the better, says the Washington Post. This is only one idea, however. For the stern propeller the inventor has a new notion. The wheels are only three-bladed, and one of them is set on each shaft, about two diameters apart.

The blades are set so that the blades of the rear propeller cover the space between the blades of the one in iront of it. Thus, the inventor claims, with less friction than is developed by a four-bloded propeller, he gets all the advantage of six blades, and if the ship pitches sidewise, so that two blades come out of the wafer, there are three blades still at a working angle under the surface, lie also claims that even should the ship pitch forward, so as to throw the two propellers on the end of the shaft out of the water, the extra propeller on each shaft would still remain submerged and prevent the machinery from running away. The idea of the two three-bladed propellers set on the same shaft, Mr. Painton says, can be applied to any vessel with ordinary machinery, and he i 9 now negotiating with Chief Engineer Melville to try the experiment on some Government vessel. Mr.

Painton was anxious to get the new double propellers tried on the Cushing, but, as that vessel is to be sent south in a short while she could not be spared. He Bays, however, that he is prepared to spend $5000 if necessary to put the propellers on one of the larger vessels as soon as the Navy Department shall designate the craft they are willingto have experimented with. But the vessel whose model is on exhibition is a much more radical departure. In addition to the double propellers on the shafts at the stern there is a corresponding pair at the bows, which, the inventor says, will not only add to the speed, but will steady the vessel in rough "weather. Besides these two sets there are four side sets of propellers, four on each side, and connected through the hull like old-fashioned paddle wheels.

Instead of being the old duck-foot type of wheel, however, they are regular screw propellers, to work under water. Their shaft is set at right angles to the keel of the vessel, but by the peculiar cut of the prupeller blades and their peculiar pitch, they drive the vessel forward. With eteam connections it would be impossible to operate all of these complicated sets of propellers, and the inventor uses his main engine merely to generate electricity, and applies this to a separate motor to operate each of the eight shafts. shafts themselves are wound to form the armatures that revolve in a gigantic magnetic field, and the inventor says he can, if necessary, develop 100,000 horsepower for a single vessel. The working model now on exhibition in this city is 11 feet 9 inches long, and is to be taken to Philadelphia in a few days and supplied with electric motors to give it a practical test in the water.

MOWS HIS PASSENGERS. A Streetcar Conductor Who Is Familiar With Their Habits. "I know many of the passengers who ride in my car." It was a conductor on the Madison-avenue line who spoke to a New York Herald reporter. "Not by name," he added. "I don't mean that, but I know their destination and peculiarities.

"Now, here is a car full of passengers, and there are only two who are not regular patrons of the line. One is the woman in front with the satchel, who will probably get off at the Grand Central station the'other ia the nervous-looking man sitting beside her. He is a stranger in the city, and asked for Canal street when he got on. Though I told him it was four miles away, and we have gone only six blocks, he is looking at every street sign for fear he will pass it. He must think we have rapid transit in New York.

"Half of these passengers so with me on this trip every morning. They are business men and regular in their habits. Now, I there is the large man by the stove he is 'Eighty-fourth street' I mean that is where he gets on and he is more regular than my watch. For six mornings in the week for the last eight months he has not missed my car. "Yes, he did miss it for three days; I forgot that.

It was three weeks ago. I heard him tell a friend that he had had the grip. "Now, the man next to him is the postoffice; he gets off there. My car never goes fast enough to suit him. I guess he has to report at a certain time and fears he will be late.

He is thinking now that he never knew a car to stop so often as this does. I know that from the way he looks around every time the car slows up. "There stands 'Elbows' now at the corner. I catch him about two mornings in the week. He always reads his newspaper on the way down, and spreads his elbows so as to take up about two seats.

You will see him open his paper as soon as he gets in and read the market reports. Several times, when women have been standing, I have asked him to make a littie room, and he glares at me as if I had insulted him. He never sees a woman or anything else, and I usually have to ask him for his fare more than once before he takes his attention from the paper. "Most passengers offer their fare as soon as I enter the car. One man I often carry irom Sixty-fifth street always hands me a nickel as soon as he steps on the platform.

He is very polite, and will never take a seat while a woman is standing. "I know when to stop for my regular Sassengers without a signal from them. Ly uptown passengers, after 4 o'clock In the afternoon, are very regular, and there are certain ones I can depend on nearly every day. "Then I have passengers who ride on certain days. 1 have a husband and wife I know as 'the theater couple.

1 I catch them at Eightieth street very often on Saturday nights, and they get off at Fourteenth street. I know from their talk that they are going to the theater. They apparently go once a week the year round.
