by Judge Haisht, of the supreme court,
in the suit brought by the attOrney-gener-
al against tho railroad companies to CON-
pei them to receive aud transport freight

animation Of the authorities bearing upou

a railroad corporation to receive and trans
port freight rendered to it by citizens Of

citizen is entitled tn recover in any action

and that it is not such public
wrong rs will authorizes tho issuing OF

In the police court highbinder was

by ex-Judgo NJ. S. Horan, one of the

Mr.. Horan could not resist the temptation
to make a point for the "grand old

the Republican ticket always?" Witness
"No, sir; always vote the Democratic

unmindful of Bailiff Smiths shouts for
order and the paralyzed Horan dropped
back in his chair as though he had been
shot. After order had been restored the
examination was proceeded with without
any great amount of latitude being taken
by the blushing and disguised attorney.

Hanging Negro Throe Timos to Make Him
Confess u Crimo He Knew Nothing Of.

Comics, u Crimo He Knew Nothing OF.
Ben Holton, colOred, has brought suit
in the United States court, Louisville, KY,
against John and Alexander Duncan, of
Oldham county, for $4,000 damages.
In March last barn belonging to the
Duncans, who are wealthy distillers, was
burned one night. Ben uolton was the
only man in the immediate neighborhood
who did not offer to help extinguish the
flames, and the DuncaDs charged Holton
with starting the fire. A detective from
Cincinnati was employed, but he soon
gave up the case, satisfied that Holton was
innocent. The Duncans, however, insisted
that he was not, and one cold night they
aroused him ut his home, while sleeping
with his family, and took him to the still
house, where they attempted to make him
confess to burning the barn. Upon the
denial Of the crime they tied a strong rOpc
about his neck and drew him up until
he was unconscious. When let down
and allowed to regain his breath,
he still donied burning the barn, when
he was swung up a second time.
He still refused to confess aud was hung
up a third time. He only missed death by
4 hairs breadth this timo but was let
down to the floor and left alone in time
for him to recover, though he had to be
confined to his bed for days afterward.
Becoming alarmed he left the state and
brings suit for damages in tho United
States court, as nonresident of Ken
tucky. The detective from Cincinnati did
not know at the timo that the hanging Oc-
CURED, but testifes that hanging was
often suggested by the Duncans, and that
he thought he had persuaded them against
anything so rash. Tne Duncans will be
arrested early in the morning.

A Strike In tho Slade Mills At Fail River
ShOsmakers "Out" Mt Essex.
At Fall River, Mass, the spinners ON
p!oyed at the Slade Mills, 80 in number.
lave struck on account of dissatisfaction
with the weight Of boxes in which yarn is
weighed. These boxes are supposed to
weigh six pounds, and in crediting spin
ners with the amount Of yarn spun, six
pounds are deducted for the box. Some
boxes become broken by long use, tho
deficiency in the weight being made up
by putting in piece of lead. These pieces
of lead frequently drop out and the weight
of tho boxes is thus reduced, but they are
always reckoned at six pounds. The
strikers left work without authority from
the Spinner's Union. and meeting of the
executive committee Of the Union will be
held to night to. authorize Secretary How
ard to confer with the treasurer of the
mills with view of en,lcavcring to effect
settlement.

was held last night at which Secretary
Howard was present.

legislative Candidates.

Bo11AvO VOoOu08Se0s
Harris burg Patriot.
In the approaching struggle between
the Democracy of Pennsylvania and their
foe, the Democratic limo of battle can be
greatly strengthened by fit and popular
nominations for legislative Offices. II is
of course important that tho best n0mina-
tions possible shall be made for Congress,
but it is of even greater moment that the
candidates for seats in the Legislature
shall be men Of ability, integrity and ex-
perience. The objective point of Came.
ron is not merely to elect General Beaver
governor, but to secure a working major.
ity in both branches of the Legislature.
He will concentrate all his power upon the
close representative and senatorial dis
tricts and will Of course take advantage Of
weak Democratic nominations wherever
he may find them. The Democrats can
defeat his purpose only by presenting can
respect and confidence of the voters whose
suffrages arc to elect them.
Not only do the exigencies of the can
vass require that careful choice shall be
made in the selection OF legislative candl-
dates, but the public service demands the
presence of able and experienced men in
the Legislature. TIE reforms which are
to signalize the administration of Cover
nor PattisOu must have intelligent and ef-
fcctive support from the law-making
branch of the state government. The ex-
ecutive can accomplish but little for the
public good if his efforts arc opposed or
poorly seconded by the Legislature. 1t is
| therefore gratifying to observe that num-
ber of excellent nominations for the House
ofRepresentalives have already been made.
The Democrats of Harrisburg, for instance
have done well in presenting Hon. William
r. GOrgas, former state seuatOr as their
candidate for representative. The Frank
lin county Democracy lave shown great
wisdom in the nomination of Hon. ]. Nc
Dowell Sharpe. who made SO brilliant a
record when formerly member Of the
House. Other nominations thus far are
also up to high standard Of excellence.
On the other hand tine custom Of retiring
representatives after u certain number OF
terms without rcgari to their ability and
fidelity iffollowed this year would deprive
the Democracy Of the services of such men
as FenlOn and Woodruff of Cambria,
West of York, Faunce of Philadelphia,
and others who made good record in the
last two L ,gis aturcs. The custom is ono
moro honored in the breach than in the
observance at any rate it should not be
30 closely followed as to put aside tried
ability and proved integrity in a political
crisis like tho present. But if there must
be rotation let tho Democracy sec to
it that those who are to succeed the retired
representatives are men who will serve
the state aud party With efficiency and
| fidelity.

FRANZ FARRELLs CASE.


Who he is-His Present Condltion-Further
Contributions.
There was a report on tho street Friday
morning that Frank Farrell, the poor fel-
low who suffered so terribly from neglect
while an inmate of the county hospital,
was dead. The report proved to be un-
true, but the sufferer cannot possibly last
long.
As many persons have asked us who
Frank Farrell is, We will state here that
he is a native of Lancaster, son Of the
late Timothy Farrell, and has = wife and
one child, u bright little boy some four
years old. When q boy of 12 or IA Frank
Farrell was 4 dining room waiter at tho
old Swan hotel. Later he became bar
tender, and at the time the war broke out,
he was in the employ of Capt. Daniel Herr,
OF Columbia. Capt. Herr raised a company
of volunteer cavalry and Farrell enlisted
as private in tho ranks. The company
was known as Co. l, 11th Pa. Vol. cavalry.
1t was assigned to duty in the army Of
the Potomac, aud participated in all the
bloody struggles from Washington to
Richmond. Frank was taken from the
rauks and made captains clerk, in which
capacity he served eight months. He was
then promoted to the position OF orderly
sergeant, and subsequently to I'd Lieut..
and 1st Lieut.. His captain Reissinscr
being detailed to the provost marshafs
department., Lieut.. Farrell took command
of the company, and led it into many .
we'll fought battle, ending only in tho fall
of Petersburg and Richmond, aud surren'
der of Lee at Appomattox. lie was in the
army over four years, and, ono Of his com
rades informs MS. WAS never off duty one
day.
The war ended, he returned to his Old
occupation of bar r-tender, being employed
at the Franklin house, Columbia, the
DelimonicO, the City hotel, the Exchange
and other places, until disease incapacited
him from further labor. He then went t.
the hospital, with the terrible result
already recorded in these columns.
