Political Notes,

There is at least one Democrat In
Ohio who has not lost his head. After
listening to the boastful message John
G. Thompson had given to an Indiana
Democrat to carry home he said: "You
tell Senator Mcdonald and the Demo-
cratic committee when you 60 back
that we hope to cut the Republican
majority down from $4,000 to 10000,
and elect ten or eleven Congressman.
1t we do this we shall have achieved q
great victory.
The Republicans in Indiana are more
fortunate than their party brethren in
some other States. They are III tied,
have a clean cut issue to contend for,
and are showing unusual interest in
the canvass for an off year. On the
other hand, the Democrats are disor-
ganized, many of their best men are
prcnounciug against the State and leg
islative tickets, and there is general
disgust with their party's attitude on
the temperance question. The Repub-
lican outlook in the State is decidedly
promising.
Senator Jackson of Tennessee Is max
ing a vigorous fight against the repu-
dating faction of his party. He is
stamping the state for RUSSELL, the can.
didaIe of the State Credit Democrats
for Governor. In speech in Memphis
last week he warned the people that q
long train of evils would certaiuly fol.
low il the latest settlement of the State
debt was overthrown. He instanced
Mississippi, which he said had repudi-
ated its debt and was now compelled
to do it's banking cut side of its own

FOUND ON rHE STEPS.
A PhiIadeIphIa Girl Drugged'
Robbed and Lett ON the Pitts

A Philadelphia Girl Dragged
Robbed and Lett ON the Pitts
burg streets.
From the Philadelphia Times.
PITTsBURG, September H.-About
l o'clock yesterday afternoon a young
girl was found In a speechless condition
seated on the steps OF the School
House, on Fifth avenue. She was taken
In by the principal and one Of the teach
ers aud a couple of physicians sent for,
who pronounce her to be suffering
from dose of poison. She could give
no account of herself beyond scribbliRg
on piece of paper, Mamie Wilson,
Market street, Philadelphia" A car
rlage was procured and she was taken
to the Central Station house. Police
Surgeon Oldshue examined her and
found that she had been drugged. This
morning, still in comatose state she
was removed to the Mercy Hospital.
The Times correspondent called to-
night at the hospital and was informed
that the girl vas still in q stupor, but
DR.. Oldshua furnished an account as
given by the girl in a lucid interval.
She said that her name was Mamie
Wilson, and that for two years she had
lived in Philadelphia. Her parents
being dead, she worked on the corner of
Ninth street and Columbia avenue, and
also at Germantown Junction. Monday
night she left for Pittsburg, and had $40
in her pocket after paying for her ticket.
On the train man in the same seat Of
fered her drink, which she thought was
whiskey, but which is supposed to have
been landanum. She knew nothing
more until she found herself On the
streets of Pittsburg penniless. She had
a parcel marked McPhilomy, N. 1924
Market street."
DIR. Oldshue says the gill Is eSident'
ly trying to hide something from inves'
tigat!on. She was dressed neatly, has
dark hair and eyes and rather pretty
features and is about twenty years of
age. From her language and conver-
s4tion the physician is disposed to be-
lieve that she is not what she represents
herself TO te-a domestic-and Is in.
clined to doubt the story she has given.
The case will Le more fully Investigated
in q day or so.
( 1t was stated last night at Mrs. De.
borah McPhilomy's millinery and dry
goods store, 1924 Market street, that on
Monday a young girl visited The store
and purchased bonnet and a dress
pattern. She said that her name was
Mamie Wilson ana that she was about
to starr for Plttsburg; that she had a
through ticket to that place and ten
dollars in money. The girl who waited

but few cents after paying for her
purchases, and after she had gone the
attendants remarked that she had been
a very queer customer. They thought
from her conduct she had either been
drinking or was partially deranged.
None of Mrs. Philomy's employees pro-
fess to be able to give any clue 10 the
residence of the girl and say that they
never saw her before her visit to the
store on Monday.

In the course of two or three weeks he
placed at the Broad street station, Phil
adelphia, of the Pennsylvania RailrOs
Company, by which they are own
and by which they will be managed.
The Introduction of these vehicles, 1t Is
believed, will reform the hack system,
which has always been complained OF
as expensive, slow and not over COM
Portable. 1t has not been thought ex-
pedient by the company to allow the
cabs, on accouLt of the small number
which have al VEoSent been built, to do
any outside busaHas.s
They will be al alsS confined to carry
passengers from the station to their
homes. If, however, on returning they
are hailed by persons who wish to go to
the depot they will take them up. The
railroad company will sublet the vehi-
cles to drivers of reliability,and respect
ability at so much a day. A scale of
prizes both for distance and time has
been fixed which will insure the in
stant dismissal Of the driver.
The system has been thoroughly ar.
ranged and will be signalized by the
exclusion of unauthorized hacks from
the Bead street depot.
Their places will be taken by the
new cabs, which will occnpy the in.
side of the station and wait quietly for
the advent of customers. There will
not, they prophesy, be any of those vio-
lent outbursts Of sarcasm which often
accompany the success of q hack-driver
in carrying away fare from under the
very nose of despised rival.
The disciplined cabman will not it is
promised, make an exhibition of any
outraged feelings which he may happen
to have. He will quietly smother them
under o well drilled grin All this il is
claimed, conduces TO ths comfort ami
happiness of the CUSTOMER.
