Disposition of the Bribe Money.

The roll of currency, amounting to
two thousand dollars, which Mr. Bradley
gave to Speaker Sharpe, which the
Speaker handed to the investigating COM
mittee of the Assembly, and which the
committee turned over to the State
Comptroller, was not called for. This
was to be expected upon any theory of
the case. To apply for the re urn of
the money would be 3 confess
guilt either of bribe} or of
false charge of bribery. erday
the Assembly adopted a reso'o on TO
give the alleged pecuniary inssI ment
of corruption to the widow 0f work
ingman who was killed on the capitol
building. Without questioning the
worthiness of the object, it may be
asked by what authority the appropria-
ton was made. Either the money
belongs to the State or it is held
in trust for the real owner. In
the former case it should 90 into
the State Treasury. In the latter case
further efforts should be made to trace
the money to its source. In the midst of
their heated controversy concerning the
Senate seats the half breeds and stall
warts came to sudden and mysterious
agreement to drop the bribery investiga.
tion-an inquiry which never was
pushed with any vigor. If the members
of the Legislature believe that by now
giving the two thousand dollars to the
widow they can induce the people TO for
get the Bradley Sessions affair they are
mistaken.

who have been engaged in the fruit
trade between Jamaica and New York
started a branch line in Aspinwall in Op-

old firm had previously paid seventy or
eighty cents for each bunch of bananas,
which are grown a short distance from
ASpinwall. The new firm offered 81 for
every bunch put on their steamer The
steamer Edith Golden, belonging to Kerr
& Co., arrived at Aspinwall on the
bananas for New York. The
agent made a proposition to the
banana growers to pay 81 for
each bunch delivered at Fox
River. On Frank Bros. hearing of the
proposition. an agreement was made
with Mr.. Woods, the Superintendent Of
the Panama Railroad Company, TO have
a switch engine put upon the track so as
to prevent the men passing across the
line, and after having succeeded in get
ting the aid of twenty Colombian SOL
diers, kept the track clear of banana
growers. Unfortunately an inOffensive
Jamaica man, who was on an errand,
was shot dead. as an order was previous
" given by the Superintendent of the
Panama Railroad Company to the SOL
diers, that in case any person should at
tempt TO cross the line that the horse and
person were to be shot.
