BLIND “KNIGHT OF THE RAIL.” 1 We have seen all kinds of tramps— 1 crippled tramps, thin tramps, fat I tramps, lousy tramps, dirty tramps, clean tramps—but Monday was the first time a blind tramp was ever seen In this vicinity—a tramp trying to 1 follow down the line of all sorts of adventures without eye-sight. But such seemed to be the case. A blind tramp called at a meat market in this city 1 and begged for a piece of meat. We have also heard of gpod-natured tramps, but never heard of one whose liberty was of so little significance ' or value to him that he cared to b« ' weighted down by the company of a blind knight of the rail, but such seemed to be the case in this in- ' stance for the blind tramp was lend by one of those good-natured ones, 1 whose eyesight was still unimpaired. While the butcher's good nature could ' not bring him to refuse their request for a piece of meat, he could not help wondering just how long the tramp would stay blind. — —— The Harry Moltz property on South Fourth street, occupied at present by Mrs. Carrie Schaub and son, Fred, is undergoing improvements which will make the home very attractive when ' it is completed.
