A JUDGE EMBRACES A TREE, And It fa Stamped With His “Signet” —“C” Stand* for “Cox.”

This is the time of the year when nature's freaks are most prominent It is not unusual to find peach trees in bloom or to see cherry blooms blown abont in the warm September air. Nature also shows a decided disposition this year to perform a double duty and produce more tUan one crop of certain of her delicacies. John Fiereon, who lives atx miles west of the city, brought to the attention of The News the fact that he ia the grateful grower of two crops of luscious strawberries this year. It is true the second crop was cot large, but it was a good one. Tha berries are of the “Captain Jack’’ variety. Logan Martin, ot New Providence, not onlynas blossoms but a pretty full second crop of strawberries. To-day he sent a crate to L. F. Adams, commission merchant. The berries were of fine flavor and fair size, and “went off,” like mighty warm cakes. Movement^ ot the Charleston.

Up on the Kankakee river

water-edge stands a tree <

“blazed” with a hunting-knife the letter C. This is in commemoration of an adventure that Judge Cox, of the Criminal Court, had there not so many, many years ago. The Judge and some friends were up there fish* ing. One evening when they were out in separate boats a storm came up. It was quite a storm, too, even for a larger stream than the muddy Kankakee. The river was whipped into foam and great waves rolled. The frail little bout* tossed and tumbled, and gave every evidence of capsizing, for they were not built to ride such heavy seas. The craft in which Judge Cox was seated was particularly frisky, and the Judge became pale as he thought of a watery grave awaiting him. Like a skillful mariner, however, he made for the shore and ran his boat against a tree. Carefully he crawled to the bow and raising to his feet threw his arms around the tree and hung on for dear life. The storm went down as suddenly as it came up, but still the Judge elapsed the tree in fond embrace. The waters became still but the Judge did not let go the tree. One of his companions

noticing him exclaimed.

“Why don'tyon letgo Judge? The storm

is over.”

“That’s all right,” responded the Judge, “Another one is liable to come up ana I know when I’ve got a good thing.” That is why this particular tree was marked with Judge Cox's initial. More Case* of XuptaUiena. The health department officers have found that many of the diphtheria cases on the South Side, near Pogue’s run, are in the Jewish quarter. The officers had great difficulty in gaining access into some of the bouses. Where they forced their way they ■found several severe eases of malignant diphtheria and many cases of membraneous croup. In most of the eases no doctor had been called, and the sufferers were without proper nursing aud nourishment. Over in Hanghville there are in the nefghborhoodof twenty cases, it was learned at the health office. One city doctor has four cases there to-day. XVUy rtam Ling Ran. Mr. Ham Ling keeps a wasbee honse on East Washington street at No. 180. Sam had an adventure last evening. As he related it at police headquarters it runs along like this. He had seated himself at his frugal repast when a bold, bad man walked into the place, broke open the moneydrawer and was helping himself to the cash, when Ham interfered and drove th* fellow opt. When ho tried to follow him to the sidewalk, “he police gluu and puthee at me, an' I Inn,” explained Sam. The would-be tULtapper threw a stone into the ■bop that smashed Sam’s imported teapot and created great discord among the side dishes on tha table. Indian* Patents. John B.

Howland Shearman, whose mechanical device was referred to recently, says he entertains no new radical hypothesia in hvdrnulics, and that the machine referred to can have no connection whatever with any machinery in which he happens to be interested. 'It was to Mr. Shearman’s device that The News referred and the information upon which it was based was supposed to be reliable It i» understood that hit device is electrical. _ Charged With Opening a Latter. Deputy United States Marshal Ed Conwav arrested Amos Bramell, of Lieton, Hendricks county, yesterday on charge of opening a letter addressed to a pensioner for whom Mr. Bramell was doing some legal work. Commissioner Moores released the defendant. Mr. Bramell. who ia a reputable citizen, says he had orders to open the mkil he received. The Sunday-Scliool Colon.
