LOW EXCURSION RATES

TIIEIIl PIIOFITA IILENESS HAS YET TO DE DEMONSTRATED. riarlnjg a Vnllse or Even a Cane In a Car Seat Entitles One to Ita Occupanry Fanhnndle Earnings. The effect of low excursion rates Is still a matter of doubt between general pasfcenger agents. While success the past seaton has attended the numerous excursions run, especially by Western road. It is improbable that many more will be announced during the present year. The general passenger agents of the strong lines especially say the profitableness of these excursions has not yet been demonstrated. On their face they have been money makers. They have stimulated travel to an unprecedented extent, and the earnings of the roads durng the months the low rates have been In effect have been swelled In a marked man ner. Judged only by present results they must be pronounced an unqualified success. Just now, however, the question has to bo confronted what effect will they have on future business? Have they served to discount It to an extent that will more han offset the gains already In hand? If so their apparent success should be regarded in another light that of practical failure. That aspect of the question is now forcing Itself upon the roads that have taken the initiative in announcing excur sions, and passenger officials of such roads are approaching it with a good deal of analetj. Should the activity that has been operative for six months past give place to a dullness that i severe enough to be felt durlnsr the winter months it will give a setback to the advocates of this general excursion business. On the other hand. should general business continue to com pare favorably with that of previous years for the winter months the reduced rate excursion plan will gain friends. So far as reduced rates on Sundays between cltit.s such as Indianapolis and Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Ltoulsvllle and Indianapolis and Chicago, are concerned it is thought that with their short limit they catch a clas3 of travel which would remain at home but for the low excursion rate. Doubtless t to some extent cuts into the revenue of legitimate business, but not to an ex tent to offset the increased revenue from ruch Sunday excursions. Some cities are objecting to these Sunday excun'ons. Pittsburg and Philadelphia entering protests which are very pronounced against them. The half rates on Sundays between local points on Indianapolis lines have enabled people living on the lines to visit each other without in the least cutting into regular business, say the passenger men. Changes on the Nevr York Central. The New York Evening Post says: "Well informed railroad anthoritles discussed this (Tuesday) afternoon an interesting report regarding changes in tho operating ttaff of the New York 'Central, which are said to be pending. According to these re ports, which were quite positive. President Callaway, who has acted as general manager practically lnce the beginning of his administration, will be relieved ot the general manager's duties and General Van Etten, now general superintendent, win bo appointed general manager. This office was created some years ago for the late J. M. Toucey, who had been general superintendent for many years, and he held the title until after Mr. Callaway be came president of the New York Central." The present organization of the Jsew York Central centers complete jurisdiction over all departments of the company directly in the president's office, all heads of departments reporting to Mr. Callaway. On the Pennsylvania, however, various vice presidents attend to duties at present undertaken by President Callaway on the New York Central. With the extension of the system it Is considered that some relief for Mr. Callaway from detailed work Is Imperativ. When the change suggested above is mado it Is thought that Mr. Van Etten successor as general superintendent will b J. P. Uradtteld, now division superintendent at Buffalo. Mr. IJradfield was formerly on tho New lork. Ontario & Western and has an excellent record as an operating official. A Pancnger Can Reserve a Scat A novel case has just been decided in a New York court. A passenger brought suit against the New York Central Railroad for being deprived of his seat. The question Involved was whether a man when he puts" his valise or any of his hand baggage into a seat thereby reserves It for his own occupancy and is legally and morally entitled to occupy it. The court practically decided that when a passenger buys a ticket he presumes that he Is to get a seat, and unless there is some unusual condition he Is legally entitled to It. If he enters an ordinary coach where no seats are reserved and there Is no trainman to usher him to a seat it is the custom of railroad companies to allow passengers In such coaches to choose their own seats. This practically amounts to a regulation of the company. The court ruled that if a person occupied a seat and then for any reason left it without in some way marking It as reserved by himself and returned to find it occupied by another passenger he has no right to ask tnis passenger to give up the seat. If, how ever, he leaves his cane, umbrella or handoag In Us seat and goes to tne platform to buy a paper or for any purpose and finds his baggage moved and the seat occupied the court is of opinion that he has a 1 gal or moral right to that peat. Pass Argument Reaffirmed. All railroad lines west and southwest of the Mississippi river, comprising about 130,000 miles of trackage, took action at St. Louis yesterday - on the pass agreement for the coming year. General Manager Howard Elliott, of the Burlington, was In the chair, and all lines were represented. Tho old agreement was reaffirmed, and an additional clause adopted, providing a penalty for violation of the agreement. Each line is to put up a deposit of $500, und on conviction of violation of the agreement by the local company, a fine of S100 will bo imposed. A resolution was introduced to abolish free transportation entirely for the coming year, but on being put to a vote it was lost, as was a similar resolution at the meeting held here last year. It was felt that the conditions were not ripe for such a radical measure, but a committee was appointed to confer with the executive officers of lines In all other sections of th country, looking to the adoption of such action In the future. The local commit tees were continued' at St. Louis, Chicago, St. Paul, Kansas City and Omaha, with dlccetlonary power as to the issuance ol passes. I., C, C. JL St. L. EarnliiRH. The following table shows the results of operating the Pittsburg. Cincinnati.

Gates, of Chicago, and Other holders of securities in the Kansas Cit. Guardian Trust Company made application la the Federal Court there yesterday fo a receiver for the company and an Injunction to prevent a meeting of the stock holders called for to-day to elect a nov board cf directors. This is said to be hi attempt cf the Gates clement to gain con

trol of its affairs and to stop it from aiding in the financing of the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient Railway, between Kansas City and Topolobamro on tne Pacifict coast of the Mexican republic. Eight new directors of the trust company were to have been elected to-day and Stlllwell was, it is said, In possession of sufficient proxies to enable him to control the election and name the directors." The Gales petition filed to-day makes sensational charges against Stlllwell and his associates. The court granted an order restraining the disposition of any of the trust company's assets and against the holding: of the meeting to-day. Final hearing will be had this morning. .The action is denounced by Mr. Stlllwell. Personal, Local and General Notes. The railroad agents of Pittsburg have formed an association. It is organized principally for social purposes. J. C. Williams, recently appointed commercial agent of the Wabash at Cleveland, has assumed the duties of the -position. The Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton now has in service 7,7öS freight cars, the last year adding 230 coal cars of 60,000 pounds capacity. Passenger conductors of the Pennsylvania lines yesterday appeared with their new winter uniforms and Pennsylvania pattern of caps. F. P. Hawley, of Buffalo, grand master of the Switchmen's Union, is visiting the prominent railroad points in this State In the Interest of the organization. P. H. Shipley, one of the oldest employes in time of service on the Panhandle, now a conductor of yard engines, is thought to be fatally ill at his home in Carnegie. John Brunton, chaplain of the Denver & Rio Grande, is in the city to attend the annual meeting of the Big Four Mutual Ptnefit Association, of which he was one of the founders. Monday was a record breaking day on the St. Louis division of the Big Four lines, during the twenty-four hours l.Oti loaded cars east and westbound passing through Mattoon. J. J. Turner, general manager of the Vandalia line, passed through the city yesterday en route to his headquarters, St. Louis, from Pittsburg, where he had been for two cr three days. The work on the double-tracking of the Ealtlmore & Ohio between Cumberland

and Sam Patch will be completed this week, and congestions of business on that line will rot hereafter occur. The planking of the Meridian-street crossing of the Union Railway lines, just completed, cost the company $2,000, ana a creditable piece of work to tne en gineering department of the company. Freight traffic over the Big Four's Beeline division is the heaviest in j'ears. Yesterday afternoon there were standing in the Brlghtwood yards 537 more loaded cars than the company had locomotives to move. The business of the Monon and the Cin cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton has so in creased "since the new depots and bulk yards were completed that the frelg;ht depots are hardly large enough to accom modate it. Cars of the Southwestern Dispatch, which operates over the Toledo, St. Louis & Western, are now coming Into this territory for business as a result of one or the recently appointed freight representatives visiting Indianapolis last week. William Garstang, superintendent of mo tive power of the Big Four, lft last evening for Philadelphia, to be absent a week. The Baldwin locomotive works are building ten engines for this road; two are com pound passenger engines. Recently a number of firemen have been promoted to engineers on the Panhandle, fctill the company has not enough engineers, and it compels engineers to run more hours often than they desire, notwithstanding it means more pay. The improvements the Cincinnati. Hamil ton & Dayton made in its dock facilities at Toledo have proven a wise expense, as its increased receipts of ore for its last fitcal year exceeded 300.000 tons. The improvements cost. Including the additional steam derrick, $19,838. The Supreme Courts of New Hampshire and Kansas have recently rendered decisions recognizing the authority of ths railroads to take up mileage books and contract tickets not presented by the purchaser, and to compel the passenger presenting them to pay fare. Stono workers have reopened the quarries at Rockledge, on tho Southern Indiana read, and placed a crusher there and other modern machinery for working stone quarries to advantage. The road will derive a handsome revenue from that source as soon as it is well under operation. L. C. Judson. a well-known engineer on the Big Four, and who left the road two years ago to engage in fruit raising in the vicinity of Bentor Harbor, met with misfortune last week. His house was struck ly lightning, and together with his barn and three horses destroyed by fire. The showing of the Chicago & Alton in the month of September is hlshly gratifying to the officials of the line. Th gross earnings aggregated $$33.871, an in crease over those of the corresponding month of 1839 of $133.W5; net earnings were $C00,472, showing a gain this year of $45,006. The Marietta, Columbus' & Cleveland Railroad Company, of Marietta. O.. was Incorporated yesterday with $250,000 capital stock. The route is from Marietta through Pa los to Columbus, thence to Cleveland. It seems to be a steam railroad, to parallel the Toledo & Ohio Central as far as Colum bus and the Big Four the rest of the way. The. new signals and signal posts that are being erected on the Panhandle main line are a decided improvement over the old style signal. It is the Intention to have the Panhandle main line absolutely perfect tefore long, and one of the officials said the other day that no money will be spared In bringing the lines up to the highest standard. The movement of steel rails out of Pittsburg at the present time is heavy beyond precedent, ten to twenty trains being forwarded dallj. In one shipment over the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne & Chicago there were over seventy carloads loaded with sixty-foot rails, weighing eighty-five pounds to the yard. These rails are for western lines. R. M. Jenks, who recently left the service of the Big Four to accept the position of traveling agent of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific under Commercial Agent Norton, was, when in Nashville on a trip, seized with a severe hemorrhage of the lungs. His physician advised that he at once go to Colorado, and it is probable that arrangements will be made by -which he can be transferred to that State and remain in the service of the Rock Island. George H. Daniel, general passenger agent of the New York Central, in his talk before passenger officials in Buffalo last week, said: "I predict McKlnley's reelection on the ground that the people do not want to unsettle our national and foreign relations." He added: "The best lrgument I have heard is that in one year luring the Cleveland administration the New York Central had thirty-five miles of jmpty cars. Now tjiey cannot secure cars enough to take care of the business." The annual meeting of the Chesapeake i Ohio Railway was held at Richmond, "a., yesterday. The. report of the directors o the stockholders, which has already ieen made public, was approved, and the lid of the company was extended to the JJreenbrler Railway, now being constructed jp the Greenbrier river. The following a-ere elected directors for the coming year: 11. McK. TwombJey. Chauncey M. Depew, il. J. Hayden. New York; N. Parker Shortage. 8. M. Prevost, Samuel Rea, Philalelphla: W. G. Stevens, D. Axtell, 11. T. .Vkkham. Officials of the Chicago. Milwaukee A it. Paul are facing the question of increase ti pay for crews of the modern heavy ngines. A committee of eighteen, repreentlrg the general board of adjustment f the Brotherhood of Locomotive En .inecrs of that system, on Monday held a neeting with the general superintendents itiii general managers. As yet there Is o suggestion o trouble, as the officials romised to give the statement of, the ommittee, which represents 2.000 engineers, :areful consideration. Several roads have ncreased the paj' of their big engine rews, and some now employ two firemen. Charles L. Stone, general passenger igent of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, tates that he has accepted the position f general passenger agent of the Louls;ille & Nashville, effective Nov. 1. The tnderstandlng is thRt William Richardson, .vho has been conriected with the pasctiger department of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois for twenty years, will succeed Mr. Stone on the Chicago & Eastern 1PIlols. The work Mr. Stone has done on he road he leaves made certain his removal to a larger and more important ygtem. It Is said of Mr. Stone that ho .ever commits the crommon error of pasenger officials, of fighting for business at ales cut to a point where profits cease at the expense of the stockholders. Division superintendents and supervisors )f the Illinois Central are quite anxious to mow who, following the inspection, will jet the blue post for 1900. A blue post Is a .r:urk of distinction on the Illinois Central, and when President Fish's eye catches ona

he knows that the section upon which it stands Is in charge of a man who proved the most efficient of his fellows by maintaining a standard condition of track. The officials of the road are now on their annual inspection of track. There are on this Inspection train Second Vice President Wallace, General Superintendent Sullivan, Assistant General Superintendent Hartigan. Chief Engineer Sloan, division superintendents, roadmasters and supervisors all over the system. The train they travel in Is much similar to those In which the Pennsylvania officials make their inspection trips. The Interstate-commerce Commission yesterday, in an opinion by Commissioner Clement, announced its decision in the case of the Pennsylvania Millers State Association against the Philadelphia &. Reading Company and others. The commission holds in this case that forty-eight hours is an unreasonably small amount of time for unloading where any portion of such time has been consumed in attending to the preliminaries necessarily antecedent to the actual process of unloading. Th; commission further holds that forty-eight hours is a reasonable time for the actual unloading. The commission also decided that by Section 1 of the act to regulate commerce, storage la named as a service In connection with transportation, and the charges therefor are required to be reasonable and just and publicly posted. EXCHANGE IS DISSOLVED

JUDGE ALLEN'S RULING IN THE STOCKYARDS CASE. It "Will Probably lie Carried to the Supreme Court Many Damage Suits Court Cases. The suit of Prosecutor Pugh, on relation of the State, against the stockholders of the Indianapolis LIvo Stock Exchange, to dissolve the association, on the ground that it was acting illegally as a corporation, and that its purpose was to discriminate against dealers not in the exchange, came to an unexpected end in the Circuit' Court, yesterday. The drift of the testimony was to air the methods of the association in doing business, rather than to prove the fact that it was not legally a corporation, when Judge Allen called a halt. The attorneys then began to agree unon facts relating: to the les:al rieht of the exchange to act as a corporation, and f the showing was not favorable to the exchange. Upon this evidence. Judge Allen said it was needless to go further, and h instructed the jury to find for the State, himself preparing the verdict. The jury was out but a short time, and returned a verdict as directed by the court, which dissolves the Indianapolis Live Stock Association, unless the case Is taken to the higher courts and the decision is reversed. a RULINGS IN DAMAGE CASES. Judge Leathers Is Preparing: for Busy Days In Court. According to the rulings of Judge Leathers, of the Superior Court, yesterday, he will have a busy time for the next few months trying damage suits. He overruled seven demurrers to damage suits aggregating $52,000. Following are the suits that will now be tested in court: Benjamin F. Carey, administrator of the estate of Elizabeth Williams against the Chicago, Indianapolis Sc Louisville Railroad Company, for $10,000 damges. Mrs. Williams was a widow and was injured in a collision between a street car on which she was riding and a freight train at the Tenth-street crossing, near the Massachusetts-avenue depot. It is alleged that she died as the result of the injuries. Roy Burris, by his next friend, Wm. M. Burrls,-brought suit against the street car company for $5,000 damages. It is alleged that the company left a crooked pole lying In the street and Roy Burris and other children, on their way to Sunday school, stopped near this pole to watch a funeral procession. Some of the children climbed on the pole, which caused it to turn over, and one end struck Burris, breaking his leg. Tho street car company was made defendant in another suit for $3.000 damages by Edwin R. Nowland. He alleges that while riding on an East Tenth-street car the trolley pole wheel ran off of the trolley wire, while he was standing on the rear platform, and as the pole flew upward the rope to it became entangled about his neck and he was jerked violently over the rear railing of the car. Another suit againstrttho company was brought by Ernest KHz lor $5,000 damages. He alleges that he was Injured by a car starting too soon while in the act of alighting. Still another suit against the street car company is that of James C. Bell. He says that while the company had the center of Its tracks on Morris street torn up for repairs he was driving at night and his team ran into the excavation. In this position, he says, a street car bore down upon him before he was able to cet out and Ktrnolr hls wagon, throwing him onto tho pave ment and injuring nlm. lie asks for $2,000. William Edwards brought suit against the Union Railway Company for $20,A00 damages. He says he was employed in the baggage rooms at the Union Station, and while wheeling a truckload of trunks from one room to the other through the sheds a wheel of the truck caught in a misplaced board and the load of trunks was thrown upon him. He says he is permanently injured, and alleges that had the platform been in proper repair the accident would not have happened. Samuel Strode sued the Central Union Telephone Company for $10,000 damages. His accident came about In a peculiar manner. While driving home on Kentucky avenue last winter a workman in a manhole connected with the Central Union Company's conduits threw out a shovelful of rubbish. Strode's horses frightened and ran away, throwing himself and family out of the wagon. He says he sustained permanent Injuries. HEIER CASE POSTPONED. A Strons; Probability that the Trial Will Not Come Off. The trial of Fred Heier, charged with keeping a gambling house In connection with his South New Jersey-street saloon, was again postponed by Judge Alford, of the Criminal Court, yesterday, because Otto Fisher, the prosecuting witness, could not be found. The complaint was made against Heler by Mrs. William II. Crichlow, who asserted that her husband lost money in Heier's gambling rooms. It was learned that Fisher had charge of tho rooms, and he was summoned before the grand jury and made the prosecuting witness to strengthen the case. Heler was arrested on Saturday, and his trial was set for the following Monday. On that day the defendant's attorneys asked for a trial by jury, and the case was set for Wednesday. When Wednesday came Fisher could not be found, and the trial was postponed till yesterday. In the meantime Prosecutor Pugh learned from the sheriff that Fisher had gone to Crawfordsvllle, and he wrote to the sheriff there, inclosing a subpoena for him. The subpoena was returned Monday, marked not found, and a third subpoena was Issued to the sheriff, but again Fisher could not be found. For this reason the case had to be again continued. Judge Alford suggested that the prosecutor should have had Fisher placed under bond, and said he would have gone so far as to have him imprisoned had there been no other way to keep him in the city. He also said an affidavit to the effect that it was Fisher's intention to leave the city should have been Aided, so that he could have been kept In the Jurisdiction of the court. Prosecutor Pugh says this was not done for the reason that it has never been the custom to place witnesses under bond In such cases. HIGH COt llT DECISIONS. Itowcr Court Reversed in a "Tax Ferret Cnae- Other Meeting. The Supreme Court yesterday reversed he; decision in the case of the City of Richmond against Samuel Dickinson, holding that cities have no power to employ tax ferrets" to search for omitted property and add it to tho tax duplicate, and impliedly held that tho same power may.

te exercised by counties. The City Council of Richmond had made a contract with William G. Young, by which he agreed to ferret out property owned by residents of the city which was illegally escaping taxation, and. was to receive 20 per cent, of the taxqß collected by reason of his services. Young afsigned his contract to another man, who added to the tax duplicate property belonging to a single estate, on which taxes to the amount of $18,240 were assessed. He claimed one-fifth of that amount as pay for his services and Dickinson brought suit to enjoin tne city from paying him, alleging that he was employed to Perform a duty imposed by law upon the c!ty officers. The trial court held the contract void and granted an Injunction. The Supreme Court also reversed the decision In the case of Stephen P. Osborne rnd others against Flora Ensllnger. holding that the signing and acknowledging of a deed purporting to convey land to another does not give the latter any title where the deed is not delivered by placing it beyond the control of the person who made it. A petition to advance the appeal by Nortiyke Si Marmon from a judgment against them as bondsmen of Samuel A. Hogue, formerly school treasurer of West Indianapolis, was overruled by the Appellate Court.

POLICE COURT TESTIMONY. A Woman Trlea to Shield Her Husband Other Cases). George Smith was sent to the workhouse from the Tollcc Court, yesterday, on a fine of $15 and costs, and ten days' imprisonment, for assault upon his wife. She caused his arrest Saturday night, and for failure to appear In court Monday, was cited for contempt. Yesterday she testified that Smith did not strike her, and an affidavit charging perjury will probably be made against her. Her testimony was contradictory to that of all other witnesses. Jack Cullcn, Jack Cuddy and Fred Metzhtizer were each fined $5 and costs, for fighting in the Star saloon, at 134 West Market street, Friday night. Judge Daly said he thought Metzhelzer's Injuries sufficiently punished him, and judgment was suspended In his case. Charles Haynes, arrested for participating In the fight, was discharged. A Suit for $50,000. The first damage suit to follow the streetcar accident at Thirteenth street and the Lake Erie & Western tracks was filed yesterday by Henry C. Etter, living at 118 MUey avenue.

R PROBATE ROMANCE "ItACE HORSE HARRY'S" MARRIAl'E TO COLORED WOSIAX PROVEN. Snuiantha J. Roberts) Wa Supposed to Have n Ills: Hstnto Long Leaal Tangle. Many ways arc used in the probate de partment to prove the right to heirship in fettling estates, and the latest incident out of the ordinary Is the discovery of a marriage certificate. It is in connection with the settlement of the estate of Samantha J. Roberts, a colored woman, who is reputed to have been wealthy at one time, and whose history, and also that of Harry J. Wiley, known as "Race Horse Harry," a white man to whom she was married, makes an Interesting story. George John son is the administrator and was appointed because of his relation to Samantha Röb el tS. The heirs set up the claim that she was never married to Wiley and that he has no Interest in the estate. To settle this point, Judge Walker had Means & Buenting, the administrator's attorneys, write to Chicago and get the marriage cer tificate. The certificate Is an elaborate, fourpage affair. It is all of the finest parchment paper. The front page Is a rich stetl engraving handsomely decorated In artistic designs and scroll work surrounding the words "Marriage certificate." The letters are in bold relief, but retain the bold touch of the artist. The second page con tains the certificate, also made up In artistic form. The third page Is covered with scriptural quotations, and the fourth is devoted to congratulations flowered with poetry. Tho- leaves are tied together with white satin rlbbcn. This pretty certificate settles the dispute and establishes Wiley, s right to share in the distribution of the property. The death of Samantha Roberts and the developments plnce her estate has been thrown into the probato department for adjudication has not lessened the interest ing chapters that characterized her life und that of her husband. Several years ago she was said to posses; considerable wealth and was regarded' as a pretty woman, being of the mulatto type and was sometimes called an Octoroon. She built a two-story brick residence on Rrooksldo avenue that cost several thousand dollars, but never occupied It. She married Yviley In Chicago, wiley had a big reputation as a race horse man, for which reason he became known all over the country as "Race Horse 'Harry." Like nil followers of the speed track, it is fraid he was sometimes wealthy and sometimes poor, but always had plenty to back him. Not long after their marriage, and after first living in Chicago and then coming to Indianapolis, they went to Oregon. At this time, it is said. Mrs. Wiley was opposed to possess jewelry and diamonds worth a large amount of money, which the took with her. After living in Oregon for a time Mrs. Wiley died, and Wiley continued his speed track career. Mrs. Wiley s heirs had an administrator appointed In an effort to settle the estate. It then developed that she had mortgaged her property on Brookside avenue for H.SH and the mortgageor at once filed hl claim with the administrator. This Drmgs up another technical point that the marriage certificate has deepened. Mrs. Wiley mort gaged the property under the name or hamantha J. Roberts, and as a single woman. The technicality now Is. whether the mortgage is binding, raising the question of the legality of a married woman making a mortgage as a single woman, and in her maiden name. The fact that she is dead complicates the matter, as desired evidence cannot now be secured. Wiley had traveled all over th world, and after hbs wife's death his Journeys to other continents continued. Möst of these trips have been with shiploads of horses. He was on the transport Batavia that grounded In the Bahama islands about a year ago and was given up for lost. Many of the horses on board were killed when the storm came up to prevent a stampede among those that had broken loose and could not be corralled or had fallen and broken their legs. Several lives were also lost. The last heard of Wiley he was on his way to the Transvaal with a shipload of mules for the British troops. He is a Doer sympathizer and what has become of hira Is not known by those Interested in the estate. Neither the administrator nor his attorneys have ever been able to substantiate the report that Mrs. Wiley possessed any great amount of valuable jewelry. Tho estate that is left is now ho reduced from Its original proportions that after the mortgage is liquidated, should the court decide in the mortgageor's favor, and all thj expenses of settling the estate are paid, there will be little left of th property. THE HICKORY EL1I CLUB. Stevenson on Lincoln The Outlook Discouraging. The club came to order and the president recognized General Mückle, who said he desired to call attention to the fact that the National Republican committee was engaged in digging up the record of Adlal Stevenson, the Democratic candidate for Vice President, and publishing broadcast some of the treasonable things be said after the assassination of Lincoln in lt5. "Affidavits by responsible parties are be Ing produced," said the general, "charging that Mr. Stevenson was heard to say that he was glad Lincoln was hot and that he ought to have been killed earlier; al.o, that he, Stevenson, was a copperhead and the friend of copperheads throughout the war; that he sold revolvers to traitors; that he was a member of the Knights of the Golden Circle, and that be cannot now produce one little bit of a speech or public utterance in favor pf the prosecution of the war. These charges have hitherto been ignored, unnoticed and undented by . Mr. Stevenson as wholly Irrelevant, Impertinent and unfair, and they have been revived in this campaign for the purpos of embarrassing and Injuring him In the estimation of Mr. Bryan and some of his friends who had about succeeded in proving that Mr. Lincoln entertained the same general Ideas on the subject of liberty, equality. mont-y and one thing or another un are entertained at present by Mr. Bryun. I am not authorized to speak for Mr. Stevenson, but I think that the statute of limitations has run against all these charges, and could be successfully pleaded in bar of the action." "I am no lawyer." faid Colonel Snort, "but I am told that prosecutions for treason, murder, arson and kidnaping may be commenced at any time after tho com-

THE HTARR PIANO CO, Manufacturers, 13 Vtvst Washington street mission of the offense, and that an aces-, ory after tho fact shall suffer the same Bunlshment and penalties as are pr crlbed y law for the punishment of tho principal. Jf that Is the law. I don't see how Mr. Stevenson can avoid coming to trial under the plea of not guilty." General Mückle Well, that may be the law. but I think it is a dirty trick In Mark Hanna to go back to the records of the dead past and undertake to prove that some Democrat thirty-five years ago wan a traitor secretly engaged in helping and encouraging the enemies of only a part of his country. If Mr. Stevenson had opposed the whole country by opposing the policy of Jeff Davis i.nd the Southern Confederacy, as well as that of Lincoln and tha Union, by giving aid and comfort to soma utterly foreign enemy. It would then have been entirely different. It would then have been within the full definition of a traitor, but as long as he was true and loyal to Arkansas, tiouth Carolina, and nine other dissatisfied States who were honestly and sincerely contending for the simple principle of self government, and 'the consent of the governed.' acting as a sort of a noncombatant belligerent sympathize', I . . . . -. , . - u a - - . . . - - . - . him. admitting, for the sake of the argu-. ment, that he had secretly aided and nbetted the rebellion, denounced the tyrant. Lincoln, and rejoiced at his de3tu and done everything else that he dared to do without exposing himself to the dangers of camp life by joining the confederate army and getting in front of the federal firing line. The President "It occurs to the chair, general, that you are putting up a very unique defense where It Is not necessary. The same charges were preierrea ana . proyed against Mr. Stevenson when he wasa candidate In 1802. and he wa tried by a select jury of his peers, and acquitted by the entire Democracy of the country. The only proper defense he has now is the plea of former trial. II can stand where he always stands on the Constitution, and paralyze the prosecution at the proper time by quoting from the Constitution. 'No person Khali be put twice In Jeoptrdy for the same offense. It is therefore useless to prolong this discussion, and it is my duty to shut it off. It has come to my ear that a large number or intelligent but worthy Democrats in thl club are suspicious of the underlying motives of our friend David 13. Hill, of N' York, in going about the country making speeches for Bryan, when everybody knows he wants Bryan killed off, so as to have a clear field for himself in UOI. It had not occurred to mc before, but 1 confess that there are some evidences tending to show Insincerity in the attitude of Mr. Hill in this behalf. I beard his speech, and It abounded in many ridiculous and lbsurd aruments and propositions that can only be explained upon the theory that he wants to help to make the claims of Bryan as preposterous" and nauseating to decent people as possible." Mr. President." said General Pilcher. "something will have to . be done to muzzle the Republican bluffers who are worrying the party with propositions to bet 4 to 1 on McKinley, or we might as well let this election go by default.' The President "Well, the only way that I know of to head that thing off. Is to put up 'the one.' But. as & friend of you all. I would advise you to wait until the odds have expanded a little more. I think by next Saturday you will be able to get a bet at the odds of 1100 to 23 cents, and If any of you have a half-dollar cr 73 cents that you feel you can get along without this winter, you might take two or three propositions with that odds, Just to show the enemy that you are gr.mo. und can't be scared, simply because your candidate isn't In it for a holy minute." Dr. Fugleton addressed the chair, and remarked that from what he had Just heard from the president and ethers, he believed' that he had come into the club at the wrong time. Paid he: "I was led to believe ' before I l--ame a membvr that the Hickory Kim Club had the world by the tall on the political question, and mat mere was no count aiout tne election of Mr. Bryan by an overwhelming majority, but it cow seems that the tabled bull in a hot climate In fly time hav a better chance for comfort than Bryan has to b eUcted President of the United States." "You have arrived at a correct conclusion." said the president. "And though your arrival wrs h little late, you will be in time to exercise a function or two of your office as coroner, If you will b patient. You were right in supposing that this club had things by the tall, but you must have been mistaken In your under standing of the representation which yovi say were made to you about the certainty of Rryan'tf election by an overwhelming majority, for I am confident that no member of this club has indulged In such a hope since the adoption of th Kansas City platform. Are you sure that he didn't say underwhelming minority in ieakir3 of the probable result?" "I know what he tald," rtpliM the debtor. . W. Ö. II.
