SECOND EDITION.
An InPKACTlCABLE IUA1A.
why q Capitalist Will not Invest
In the Elevated Road.

why u Capitalist Will not InveSt
In the Elevated BOnd.
Phila. Record OF to-day.
When the idea Of building an eieva
ted railroad in this city was first talked
Of 1t was deemed advisable to allure
into the scheme such men as Samuel
J. Tilden, William Fl. Barnum, Of Con-
necticut, and William L. Scott, of Erie.
1t was thought that, with the immense
means at the disposal of these gentle.
men and their known influence in leg
islatiye matters the road would soop
become o reality instead Of tracing upon
paper.
EX-SENATOR Barnum was invited to
visit this city by Robert Randall, who
was counsel for some time of the per-
sons interested. The plans were laid
before him and the schsme explained
After thorough examination he decid-
ed not to bite at the cherry. His with
drawal was the means Of keeping out
Messrs. Tildsn and Scott. Had be
thought well Of the plan the trio would
have taken a majority Of the shares Of
the stock and a large block OF
the bonds. This interview occurred
last fall when the elevSted railroad
charters were first obtained.
Senator Bsrnum wss in the city last
Sunday, and while at the Contenial
Hotel he oonversed freely with a
"Record" reporter con corning the pro-
rossd road.
SWELL" said tho Senator, laughing,
81 thought that thing was dead long
ago. When l examined the plans and
details found there was nothing in ii
and refused to have anything I'd do
with it. Philadelphia is not adapted
to elevated railroads, because there are
surface roads enough TO meet all de.
mands Of the travelling public. These
crossing each other in all directions
can carry all the people with ease, and
where the business for an elevated road
will come from | cannot imagine. What
will be tho fare?"
"Ten cents, presume" replied the
reporter.
"Weli, they will never get Philadel.
phians to ride at that rate" replied the
Senator. "Why, your people are now
calling for five cvnt car fares, and to ex-
pect them to pay ten cents on the ele-
Yated road is sheer nonsense. The COM
pany is to bIild an expensive bridge
across the Schnylkill aud pay s per
cent. OF the gross receipts to the city.
How they will do this and make apy-
thing OF OF the road is problaDl. There
are too many short riders in Philadel-
phia for such road 10 pay. They have
something more to think Of than to
market their bonds"

Wallace's Report.

Mr.. Wallace, of Pennsylvania, on
behalf of the Senate Select Committea
on alleged frauds in the recent elections
yesterday submitted report Of the re-
suits of the Committees investigations
in Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
The report states that while a number
of afidsyits allege coercion on the part
of employers by implied threats Of loss
Of work, and that such intimidation
was practiCed, no evidence Of conspi-
racy on the part of employers was
brought to the knowledge of the com
mittee. The report Is agreed to by
Senators Wallace, Bailey, Garland, Nc
Donald and Kernan. A minority re-
port will be submitted by Senators
Teller, Kirkwood, Ho&r and Blaine.

The Warren Murder Trial,

The trial of Mrs. Eliza j. Warren,
charged with the murder of her husband
in York township on the 10Th of May
last, began in the Court of Common
Pleas last Thursday. The State was
represented by Prosecuting Attorney
Mitchell and Hon Lorenzo Danford
and Judge Chambers. W. S. Kennon
and E. ] Cracrait appeared as counsel
for the defense.
The examination of witnesses occu.
pied Thursday, Friday and Saturday -
The arguments of attorneys were heard
on Monday and the jury retired to their
room Monday night, Tuesday after
noon the jury sent word to Judge Okev
that they were unable to agree and ask.
ed to be discharged The Judge replied
that they must agree and refused to dis
charge them. Wednesday morning the
verdict was agreed upon and the jury
returned into Court. They found the
prisoner guilty of amanslaughter and re-
commended her to the mercy of the
Court. When the jury retired Monday
evening the first ballot stood for mur.
der in the I'd degree, for manslaugh-
ter and four for acquittal; next they
stood 8 for msnslaughter and 4 for sc-
auittal; then 8 to 6 for long time !; then
5 for manslaughter TO Z for acquittal,
and again for manslaughter and for
acqui,tsl. The ballot before the final
one stood IL for manslaughter and l
blank. The verdict was then made
unanimous for manslaughter. As soon
as the verdict was announced Judge
Chambers gave notice that the defense
would move to set aside the verdict and
ask the Court to grant new trial. This
motion will be argued and decided to-
day, Wednesday, and, il denied, the
prisoner will probably be sentenced to-
day. Judge Okey expects to adjourn
the present term of Court this evening
As between the verdict and an acqui-
tal, the verdict is unanimously endorsed
Fhyathes public, but there are many who
believe Mrs. Warren should have been
convicted of murder in the second de-
gree. A verdict Of Mquittsl would
have been empbatically condemned by
all who we're conversant with the, facts
in the case 3ft i
Mrs. WARREN was sentenced TO two
years confinement in the Penitentiary,
and on notification by counsel for the
defendant that the case would be taken
to the Supreme Court, the Court stayed
the execution of the sentence for Pc
riod OF 80 days.-PUB. Spirit

From Wayne Township.

RIcHFeRK, Ono, July 16, 1880.
Ed SPIRIT: l send you few lines for
insertion in the columns of The SPIRIT:
MARY SMITH, the subject Of this
sketch, was born in what is now the State
of West Virginia, near the city of Wheel
ing ON the OH day of July, 1893, and is
therefore 81 years of age. Her parents
moved TO the State of Ohio in 1903 ard
settled just below the mouth of Sunfsh
Greek. At that time there was but one
house--a log cabin-on the present site
of the pleasant little village OF Claring
ton. She labored as servant girl in the
city OF Wheeling sixty-6ve years ago
Then this prosperous and thriving city
was very small village, containing only
four dry goods stores within its limits
When sue was young the county of
Monroe, which has now so many pleas
ant little towns within Its borders, was
an almost unbroken wilderness infested
with bears, wolves and other wild ami
mails. She remembers very distinctly
the old block house at Wheeling that
was built as a defense against the Indi-
ans. The early pioneers had many trials
and difficulties to encounter which we,
who are young, know nothing about
When we look around US it seems hard
for Us to realize that there are those
among us who can recollect the time
when this part of. the pleasant State OF
Ohio was, practically speaking, in state
of nature. Mother Smith was married
to Basil Smith in the year 1920. They
locBted themselves near the n outh oil
the Captina about six miles above the
village of Clarington, where they resided
for several years. Tuey came to The
RicbfoIk in Wayne township, Monroe
County, Ohio, almost hslf century ago
when this part of the country was com
paratively new. Here her husband died
about % years ago. She is the mother
of l3 children, 10 Of whom are yet liv.
ing; ll3. children have been born to cal
her grandmother, and lis great grand
children have heheld the light of day
Her descendants are as numerous, per.
haps, as those of any other woman
within the county. But the early pio.
neers of our land, those who cleared uE
this country and rendered it ft for the
reception Of a large population are fas1
passing away, and the day is not far dis
tant when all those who endured the
hardships and privations incident to 8
frontier life will have passed away and
the story Of their conflicts will live only
in the minds and hearts of their descend
ants. JOHN w. STRIcKLING.
