Several Massachusetts detectives recent
Gently disguised themselves as tramps and
mingled and travelled with the strolling fra.
ternity of the State. Their report is a Gu.
rious and interesting one. Their experience
was that the tramps would not work if they
could get it, except to procure money to get
liquor, and not then if they could steal it.
Many of them adopted their vagabond life
from choice and not from necessity. OF the
entire number with whom the detectives came
in contact, there were only two who did not
scout the idea of going to work for the pur-
pose of earning an honest livelihood, and the
detectives doubted if those two were ready
to engage in any laborious employment.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 9.-In the case of the
application for an injunction by the Charter
City Council of East st. Louis, to eDjoin
Mayor Bowman, the general law City
Councilmen and all city officers elected at
the general law election last April from
further performing the functions of their
various offices, Judge Mott, of the Circuit
Court, to-day granted an injunction and
required complainants to enter into $1,000
bonds. The injunction does not interfere
with Mr., Bowman as Mayor of the city,
as he was legally elected to that Office
prior to the general law election last
spring, but it prevents him from presiding
over the General Law Council or 10 any
way performing the Office of an alderman.
All other officers and the appointees of
the General Law Council are enjoined alb
solutely. The injunction also requires the
General Law Council to deliver up all
official papers, documents and books and
all property belonging to the city now in
their possession to the Charter Council.
What effect this action of the court will
have upon Mayor Bowman and his ad
herents Is not known at this writing, but
Judging from the past it Is believed that
the Bowmanites will stand out until the
Supreme Court has passed upon their ap-
plicstion for a hearing of the Stephens
case and the order for a supersedeas.

Grand Reception TO the Columbia Boys.


New YoRK, Aug. TO- The steamer
bearing the victorious Columbia College
crew was sighted early this morning, and
soon afterwards reached quarantine. The
health officer waited long time for the
expected reception committee of Columbia
Alumni, but as they were not making
their appearance, he steamed to the yes
sci with members of the press and there
gave to the Henly yictors their welcome.
After the health officer had passed the
vessel she steamed for her dock. Just off
Governors Island the steamer chartered
by the alumni approached, those on board
shouting the well known Columbia cry; the
crew were transferred to the little excur-
sion steamer amid cheers of their fellow
passengers, and proceeded to the city
where sthev were vociferously welcomed
by the waiting Columbia. The crew
were placed in the waiting carriage and
drawn BY their college friends to Del.
monicos; procession was formed headed
by the seventy-6rst regiment band and
Collegians carrying the Columbia flag,
then followed a carriage drawn by two
long lines of enthusiastic young men, most
of whom displayed Columbia white
and blue in badges, handkerchiefs
or hat bands. The reception committee
walked close behind the carriage, and then
came the body of students and others
marching four abreast. Before the pro-
cession left the pier Alderman Biglin
greeted the members Of the committee on
behalf of board of aldermen and rendered
their congratulations. When the process
sion started. the officers and workmen on
the dock gave hearty cheers, which were
responded to by the Columbia boys; the
