There were two characters of more than ordinary interest at the police station last night, lhiaty Maawy, a resident of the notorious t'muuatory avenue, occupied a cell aud Charles Johuaou, au inhabi tant of the Belmont, was carried there in a dying condition from an overdose of a poisonous drug. Dusty Massey is young in years but old iu experience. 8he has a rather sweet, girlish face that bears the marks of weakness and dissi pation. At the age of I. 'I lusty married a man who, she says, al ready had two wives, tjbe lived ith hint from some time in No vember until the following August, when she It'll bim and went back to her mother. In the con rue of time Dusty bet-awe a mother, aud for quite a while lived a decent life, but she gradually drifted and lHcaiiie a wanderer. Last uuday afternoon several tuiet, peace loving citizens of Bid tlleville saw several men dragging nr tugging at something that looked like a limp and helpless buuiau Immiik. The party of on lookers watched from a far oil until they saw the procession go into a piece f woods and then iolice oflieers were uotilied. Wheu the oflieers arrived oo the scene the men had down but they fouud Dusty lying in a field, half covered with dirt, where her ungallant friends hail fried to bury ber long liefore her lime. Dusty was nearer dead than ill ve and It required careful nurs ing to bring her back" to life. Hut last night, as Dusty sat near the door of her cell and begged the pojiceiuen to notify some friend that she was mi trouble aud aak l hem to come and go on her bond, die looked freah and sober. Her wealth of black bair was brushed back and carefully parted. Every si rami of it was In the right place. Iter face was cleau and her eyes bright' : hat have I done to be sub mitted to this buiuiliatioiit" asked the queen of the Avvnoo, as Mat thew Yaudle opeucd the door aud ushered the newspaper men in. I want my Utterly, aud if tuey would ouly telephone Mr. Ho and do he would go on my bond." "How old are you, Dusty T" in quired a rejMirter. "I am li years old. I can't see why they want to do me this way when they know that 1 have been trying to do better. It is not right I wasu t drank, but doped. Have they brought the boys here who poisoned me! " Dusty was dressed in her best clothes aud looked well for a jail bird. "Do you smoke cigarettes!" she inked just after declaring that she was trying to reform. 'Dusty, you ought to lead a bet ter life," suggested Matthew. . "I will if they will let me out of here." At this juncture a great noise hroke out In the front oflice. Dr. ( 8. McLaughlin, Fatrolman Mack haruhardt and Countable S. C. Koss had bronght Charles ' Johnson In the station and were giving him heroic treatment for too much dojie. ibey had stripped the young fel low to the waist and were jostling him up and down and beating bis back with a wet towel in an effort to keep him alive. It was a serious work, aud the men who lifted and tossed the dying mau worked bard. I banes Johnaorj is a young mar ried man. For some time be has been night watchmun at the Char lotte Cartket Company. Last Sat iinlsy he stole from the office a iiuinlier of checks and succeeded in forging the name of J. L. Martin, the lxH)kkeeier, to them aud pass in? them ou various merchants in town. Since that time the officers hsve hreu ou the lookout for John. son. Karly yesterday as Kev. J. r, Davis passed near a strip of woods he saw Johnson, who seemed to hsve been drinking some. Late in the afternoon Mr. Davis passed back by the atiue place aud, hear ing a groaning noise, went out to see where it came from and found the young fellow in a stupid condi tion. Officers were notified and they went and brought him to the station where. he was treated. At a late bour be was doing well. Home thought that Johnson was playing 'possum. Johnson was brought in by Rural Officer Lotuox, and Sergeant Far riugton aud Officers Cbristeobury and Porter. The Truth About Panama. ' Hountaln Desperado Recaptured.

" We all know that when a gentle Wall Btreet pirate wants to depress the market price of a railroad secu riiy the customary tactics are tbe starting of a strike on that road; the instruments used by financial pirates are these same furtive, smooth tongued, ingeuious, trouble starters who have appeared ou tbe isthmus with such persistent regu larity. The men and agencies and corporal ious which are battling against the canal's progress, which are seeking to under mine the Pres ident's determination for its rapid completion, which are behiud the congrewioual delays and tbs nmg nifying of every possible excuse for discussion into an awful scandal these are the same men and agen- cies who go out railroad-wrecking. There is a deep-seated belief on the isthmus that when other means fail, tjie enemies of the caual the secret financial enemies, not the short-sighted fellows who are try ing to make .capital by dragging the caual into polities wlllemleav or to use all that is corruptible aud mercenary in the administration ol the labor anions of the United States to opset tne great work that Mr. Stevens aud bis subordinates are carrying on.

Hungry for the big wages of Panama, school teachers, barbers, shoemakers, stoi clerks have flocked to tbe Isthmus to find employment as masons, carpenters. blacksmiths and painters IndifTer- eutly. They are wasteful; they are stupid; they are posseesed with an unutterable hatred of exertion oth er than conversation, preferably on religious or ethical topics. Here are some more statistics from nij friend the foreman of painters: Hospital 54 is a building about 40 feet square; the amount of white lead ret; ni red for tbe paint to be applied to it would be, here in the States, about 79 pounds; it was nee essary to use 250 pounds of white lead on the Job; none of it was stolen; none was carried away; thai white lead and all the other wasted materials which were mixed with it are chargeable to tbe Jamaica negro's inefficiency.

Ogden Armour's recent defense ol the (ioveiument insiiectiou ol slaughter houses. It is strong writ tog lnio.a too strong for pleasant before break fust reading but the subject demands it. I have charged," writes Mr. Sinclair, "and I charge here sgaiu, that the so called 'potted ham' ami deviled ham' sold by Armour & Co. consist of the old dry waste ends of smoked beef, ground up with potato skins, with the hard cartilaginous gullets of beef, aud ith the udders of cow s, dyed to prevent their showing white. And the Federal inspection has no pow er to prevent that! The federal inspection has no power to say whether or uot any measures shall lie taken to see that roiaoned rats are not ground up iu the ssussge meat, as man alter mau in the yards told me that he had seen; if has no power to prevent the 'doc toring' of spoiled ham with all sorts of chemicals; to prevent the preserving of sausage with borax aud salicylic acid, and the dyeing f it to save the time ami expense incidental to smoking! It has no (tower to preveut the adulteration of sausages with 'potato flour,' the by-product of the manufacture ol potato-alcohol; or to prevent the adulteration of lard with beef fat, tallow and lard stearin, pnralliu and cottonseed oil. Does Mr. Ar mour deny that all these things which I have named are done in his establishment!
