The Cleveland PiaindedIer puts the fol-
lowing spear into the New York Tribune;
The New York Tribune, il ii would
preserve its consistency, will have to
reorganize zone of its editors. The
Tribune is the great organ of the con
tractionists, but il has got things wofully
mixed in the following paragraph
"There is evidence" it says, "that Gov
ernor Allen and senator Thurman are
not the only Ohio Democrats who are
opposed to imitation. The ,Bucyrus
Forum, published in Congressman Berry's
district, thus gives evidence that the
people there are sound ON the all import
ant question Men think quickly in
extremity of necessity. They will see
10 il in our conventions that no candi-
date shall be nominated or elected 10
Congress who will not unequiyocally
pledge himself 10 oppose contraction Of
our national currency, and favor a whole
some and judicious issue Of more money
for financial relief and the promotion Of
public and private enterprise The
Forup,-whose editorial we have before
published-is thus, as is apparent, dia-
metrically opposed to the 7rib@,e's posi-
tion, and yet the latters bungling or
nearsighted editor quotes its (the
Fonun''s) language, as eyidencing that
the people of Bucyrus care sound ON all
important questions" Either the Tri-
Laae has put its foot in il, or been
cleansed financially.

Robbed bv Force, aav
Trains Taken Possession Of bd
Armed lRu ~ s6fSs


We, the undersigned persons, have just
arrived in California from Omaha, and
we feel IL to he our duty to warn the
public that neither life nor property is
safe on the emigrant trains ofthe Central
Pacific Railroad. This thorougbfare Of
travel is infested from end to end with
thieves, gamblers and sharpers, who are
little better than highway robbers. The
conductors and brakemen of the trains
are either afraid toexercise any authority,
or are in league with these marauders.
There is no law and no place Of appeal
for protection, as is the case on shipboard,
but every peaceable or unarmed pas
senger is at the mercy Of any ruflian who
chooses to maltreat him. The conductors
refuse to take any notice Of such out.
rageous actions when complained to. On
our recent trip, many poor men Of our
party were fecced out of their last dol.
lar at three-card monte--several Of them
being family men. We do not complain
Of this as much as We do Of the fact that
our train was literally captured, this side
of Reno, bya gang of ten monte brigands,
who, because they could get no one to
bet with them, passed through the cars
calling the passengers insulting names,
striking them, splitting tobacco-juice in
their faces, hourishing bowie-knives and
revolvers, and threatening to cut our
throats or blow our brains out. They
were all heavily armed, while few Of us
had weapons of any kind, and, in fact,
did not come TO this State with the ex-
pectation Of having to fight our way
through. At Truckee we were informed
that passenger on an eastward-bound
emigrant train had been barbarously
beaten for refusing to gamble with these
scoundrels, 1t was also stated that more
danger exists on the eastward bound
trains than on the trains for the west
All of these gamblers and cappers are
personally known to the railroad con-
ductors, but are never disturbed, but, on
the contrary usually ride in the same car
with the conductors, after they have con-
cluded their devilment for the trip. SO
far as we could discover, not the slightest
semblance of law was observable along
the Central Pacific in Nevada, everything
being controlled by rufiianism and
threats of murder, and we believe that
the travelling public, especially the poorer
class, should be made acquainted with
these facts. Signed: W. b. Campbell,

The Commodore was born at Stapleton,
Staten Island, in 1874, George Washing
ton being then President New York
contained population of $4,000, and
our national income was about 81 ,OOO, 900.
The house in which he was born is still
standing, and is part of his estate. At
the age of nineteen he married Sophia
johnson, his second cousin, who was just
a year younger, and who has been dead
six years. She was a business woman,
and was well adapted to assist the career
of a money maker. They lived econcm-
ically, and were 80 old fashioned as to
have family Of thirteen children, Of
whom the following record can be given:
The eldest is Phebe Jane, who is now
sixty-one. She married j. Nj. Gross, OF
this city, and lives with her husband on
Twenty-second street. They have four
children. Next is Etkelinda, who mar
ried ID. b. Allen, also of this city. He
was connected with the Commodore in
steamboating, and retired worth half
million. They have six children. Eliza,
the third child, married the broker, Os-
good, who is rich and childless. Emily,
wife of W. X. Thorne, is next. Thorne
is estimated at more than million, and
has four children. After this series of
four girls, the Commodore was gladdened
by boy whom he has always designated
as Billy. No wonder he was a pet
Billy is now fifty-three, and has been two
years before the public as his fathers
lieutenant in railroad matters. lie mar
ried the daughter of clergyman named
Kissam, and has seven children. One of
his daughters was lately married, and
two other children were married pre-
viously. Three daughters followed Billy
into their mothers arms. The first of
this trio is Sophia, wife of Daniel Tor
rance, who is of a wealthy Montreal
family, and has made large fortune by
successful operations. lie is estimated
TO be worth $1,000, 900, and lives in this
city in a stylish mauner. Both Tor
rance and Billy have mansions ON the
Fifth avenue. The next is Marie Louise,
who is now the widow Of Horace +.
Clark-a lawyer and railroad operator OF
great talent, who died suddenly more
than year ago, leaving a million or
more. Maria Elecia married Nicholas l..
Barr and is a widow, but has a handsome
property. Next is Cornelius, jr.,who is a
spendthrift widower, and is 50 worthless

debts or have anything to do with him.
Francis, born soon after Cornelius, was
always am invalid, and died unmarried
at forty. George, the next, is also dead.
