upon which he will rely in the canvass for
the evidence of his official honesty and in

Senator Lorin b. Sessions, of New York,
who was charged by Bradley with attempt
ing to bride him, was yesterday indicted at
Albany. Mr.. Sessions appeared with coun-
sci at the afternoon session of the court,
when the district attorney stated that the
Indictment had been found by the grand
Jury against Mr.. Sessions, charging him
with an attempt to bride Assemblyman
Bradley by giving him $1,000 to vote for
Chauncey NJ. Depew for Senator.
The Indictment was handed up to the
court. 1t was brief one, containing only
single charge. Mr.. Sessions counsel said
he was ready to proceed to an immediate
trial. The district attorney replied that he
was not ready. The counsel demanded that
Mr.. Sessions be permitted to prove his inno'
cence us soon us possible, and protested that
the grand,jury investigation was one-sided
that Mr.. Sessions had not been heard, and II
was shameful that he should not be allowed
an immediate opportunity of disproving the
charge. The district attorney replied that
he would proceed with the trial when hi
was ready.
The counsel protested in hot speech thai
the delay was part of II political scheme
calculated to prejudice the public mind
The district attorney replied that he woult
not be able to try the case before the mex
term of court, in October, and in the mean
time would insist that Sessions be held il
bail in the sum of $1,000, which was fur
nished and Mr.. Sessions released.

Complaint Of n FILTHY Alley.
TO the Editor of The Evening Critic


TO the Editor of The Erening Critic:
Something commcndatory was said re-
Gently in the columns of your plucky little
paper respecting the condition of the streets
and alleys Of this city. Generally presume
you are correct, but must enter my most
solemn cdredt, so far, at least, as one alley is
concerned. Reference is had to the one be-
tween II and Defrccs street, which is in n
most abOminably filthy condition, or was
until the friendly, dashing rain an hour
ago carried away portion of its accumu-
lated nastiness. Yesterday it was fairly
reeking with filth and putrefaction. This
is vigorous language, and needs proof. We
submit in evidence partial invoice" of
contents, in justification of the seemingly
reckless charge.
Here it is: Several unmarketable fresh
(?) fish, one large, bloated, half-decayed eel.
1--WE had been out late Saturday night, and
came near mstaking it for snake). Two
or three dead, mangled kittens, of the Nal
tcsc persuasion one large yellow cat, any
quantity of bones, pea-hulls, potato parings,
&c.
Aside from this disgusting enumeration,
the alley is filthy on general principles-by
nature, habit and common consent-abound-
ing in small pools of dirty water, appar-
emily the cmptyings of wash-tubs, to say
nothing OF broken crOcKcry, cnlna-Ware ana
empty tin. cans, old shoes old hats, &c,
SC. True, every few days, carts by the
hundred Judging from the intolerable
racket they keep up) pass along, heralded
by the utterly unintclligible gibberish and
yells of Eye colored man." pretending to
clean up things generally; but, shades OF
mud, whats clean! They do manage to
keep the alley open for the passage of swill.
carts, ash-wagons and the like; but the
luckless wight who undertakes to pedcs.
trianizc had better turn out in heavy
brogans, or on stills. The olfactory nerves
are compelled to suffer martyrdom, and
heaven help this neighborhood if an cpl.
dcmic should visit this aristocratic and
fashionable city. Ifanyone is in the least
incredulOus as to the truth of what we say
let him poke his unbelieving proboscis into
this alley and he will be convinced that, il
Seeing is believing" smelling is the naked
| truth. r. w. A.

The Last survivor orDnrtmoor.

Capt. Robert Hardie, the last survivor of
the Dartmoor massacre died in Baltimore
last night after n brief Illness aged SO
years.
Capt. Hardie was born June II, 1893 in
Philadelphia. He was grandson of Rob
ert Hardie, who was u captain in the navy
of the State of Pennsylvania during the
Revolutionary war. His father was David
Hardc, who served under the first Capt.
Hardic, and in the war of 1912 commanded
q tugboat in the Delaware flotilla.
When 10 years old Robert Hardic shipped
on the schooner Nonsuch eight guns, Capt.
George Dunton, lctter-of-marquc priva-
teer, which sailed from Philadelphia in
November, 1913, for Charleston. When
eleven days out the schooner was captured
by the British brig Dottcrel and taken to
Bermuda and thence to England, where
Capt. Hardic and nine Others of the crow of
the Nonsuch were confined in Dartmoor
prison. Capt. Hardie's experience while
confined at Dartmoor was like that of 9TH
ers whose stories have been made public.
In his history, above referred to, he thus
describes what occurred on April 6, 1915,
the day of the massacre: 81 and q few 9TH
ers were taking walk in our inclosure
when we were startled by the news that
Shorthand, the governor of the prison, and
the entire garrison were marching
uOWn inc square. we inquired tnc
cause, and were told that some of
our people had been playing ball in the
yard and had thrown the ball into the bar
rack yards. Our men hailed the sentry
and asked to have it thrown back, which
was refused, when they picked hole in
the wall, intending to go out and get 1t.
This was reported to Shorthand, and he
came out with the garrison, saying his or
ders were to fire on us. He took muskct
from one of his men and fired the first shot.
We ran into our cells, and then they fred
through the windows. / escaped injury"
In 1915 he was released after peace had
been declared. Later on he entered the
merchant service, sailing out of Baltimore in
the Rio trade. In 1858 Captain Hardie went
South, and located in Savannah, Ga, as u
ship chandler, where he remained until af
ter the close of the war, when he returned
to Baltimore; since that time he has resided
there. Captain Hardie was married June
Z, 1881, to Miss Emily ]. Mcclure. a
daughter of the late John Mcclure formerly
a well-known citizen of Baltimore. Captain
Hardies widow survives him, and he leaves
four children, among whom are David Har-
die, United States naval engineer, and Mrs.
+. l.. Schley, of Baltimore. His brother,
James Hardic a retired hardware dealer,
lives in Philadelphia, and two of his sisters
reside at Carlisle, Pa.
