HUNTED DOWN.
Five Years Search for Train Wreck.
ers Ends Successfully---The
Crime and the Men.

ALBANY, n Y, July 11-After a FIVE
years search it is believed the perpetrators of
an atrocieus crime on the New York Central
railroad have been captured The evening Of
June %, 1875 an oil aud freight train on that
road was hurled from the track five miles
this side of Schenectady. The accident was
followed by the ignition of the oil tanks and
and the destruction of all the cars.
One of the brakeman, Platt S. Truax,
was caught and pinned by the legs be
tween the cars and slowly roasted to
death. The other employees escaped without
serious injury An investigation in the
morning showed plainly that one OF the rails
had been deliberately removed from its place
by drawing out the screws holding the plates
The pressure of the engine threw the rail out
Of place and wrecked the train. The cor
oneris examination failed to disclose the
authors of the diabohcal deed, and no clew
to them was obtained until a month ago.
About half a mile from the scene of the ac-
cident were two houses, occupied respectively
by families named O'Brien and Bowling At
the time the crime was committed there were
at home two O'Brien boys, aged Is and 20
and two Downing boys of about the same age
Residing with the latter was shoemaker
named Alfred Youngs Notwithstanding the
near vicinity of the i've young men to the
scene Of the wreck, it seems that suspicion
never fell upon them until recently. About
month ago John F. o'Brien, one of the
brothers, while, in Schenectady, informed a
person there that he believed the train in the
wreck of which Truax was killed was thrown
of by Myron Downing and Alfred Youngs.

there is a well settled conviction among
the democracy OF the state thai if they

tional ticket it must be in the person of
Joseph E. Mcdonald as candidate

nomination of Mr. Mcdonald for Pres

the agony resulting from it, as in the
case of an animal confined and left to
perish from starvation, would all be
punishable under the statute, even if it
did not appear that the pain inflicted was
the direct and principal object. IL
certainly is not true, as an abstract pro
position that it is immaterial what may
be the motive of person who lnfiicts
pain upon an animal, in determining the
criminality of the act Pain inflicted
for lawful purpose and with justifi
able intent, though severe does not
come within the meaning of cruel" as
the word is used in the statutes Thus a
surgical operation, occasioniug the most
intense suffering, may be justiiable, and
is not criminal To drive horse at a
rate of speed most distressing to the
brute, when the object is to save human
life. for example, or TO attain any other
object of adequate importance, may yet
be lawful. Ii horse be overdriVen by
a person not knowingly OF intentionally
but in the honest exercise of his judgment
as distinguished from mere recklessness
of consequences. or wilful cruelty, the
act is not within the meaning OF the
statute: and in such case evidence OF a
persons ineXperience or want OF
knowledge as Ia the proper treatment 'oi
horses would be competent In the
instance just mentioned there is no crime
for there Is on criminal mind But pain
inflicted upon an animal in wantan and
reckless disregard Of the suffering il
might occasion. and OF the consequences
it might produce. would be criminal as
certainly as if it were oceasioned by al
express purpose, formed of an evil mind
to inflict suffering and storture on the
animal; the two acts would differ only il
being more or less intensely cruel
This indeed, is only single illustration
of the principle that prevades the entire
criminal law, according to which ii i:
presumed that every man intends The
natural, necessary and even probable
consequences of an act which h,

THE EVILS OF AN CVERFL0WING
TREASURY

When the government takes million
dollars out of the pockets of the tax pay
ers five days ont of every seven, the
spedning of million dollars Is made no
more of than the spending of days
wages by treasury clerk. The money
comes easy and it goes easy. A million
dollars is squandered in worthless war
vessel, or in a farcical criminal prosecu-
ton with perfect indifference The
money is in the treasury and it must be
spent Money is heaped up in the public
treasury beyond the measure OF extrava
giant expenditure. After millions have
been spent in improvident recklessness
millions yet remain to tempt men on TO
new robbery.
Modern history, says an exchange
furnishes no parallel for the present CON
diuon of finances in this country By
retaining after the war was ended the
system of taxation adopted at time when
the safety of the nation was imperiled,
the. country has been impoverished to
build up private monopoly and 10 fatten
the public treasury. Resulting financial
distress, reaching one time to a climax of
panic, has not availed to bring change.
The government still robs active indus
try, and the people still suffer. There
was the same glut in the Roman treasury
after the Casarean methods has turned
the plumber of three continents
toward a common centre. The
Spanish Golfers were for time overflow
ing with gold and silver stolen from the
aborigines of America But it has been
reserved for the United States, and the
republican party in particular, that q
nation may grow rich by. robbing itself
And this discovery has been supplemented
by another, that the shrewd aud favored
citizen may grow rich by robbing the
government.
But while the treasury overiiows, and
the rich get rich, what are the poor doing.
Overproduction has brought some fav-
ored industries almost to dead stop
Foreigners only buy from US such raw
material of commerce as We produce ex-
clusively OF more cheaply than othel
nations, There are more hands in tht
country than there is work 10 do anC
more mouths than bread earned TO fill
As these evils press upon US, is there an.
more stupendous folly than to keep OF

pocket from the other man who puts tn
tax money in his pocket How Ion:

AYoUEG BRIDEGROOM
From the Globe Democrat

A day or two ago party Of three
entered the office OF the recorder of deeds
and approached the counter of the
marriage license clerk The eldest of The
three-a man who seemed TO have stern
determination written on his countenance
said they wanted marriage license for
his companions. a youth and maiden,
Upon being questioned by the clerk, ii
was developed that the young people
were each only Il years of age, and
while the consent of the girls father was
freely, even anxiousty, given, as he there
and then in his own proper person
asserted, the boys father was not present
nOr had his consent TO the desired
uuptials been obtained And the young
man said he did not think his father
could be induced to come to the office for
the purpose The father of the girl said
It's enough the boy is willing" But he
was informed the parents consent was
necessary where the parties are, respec-
lively under the age of 81 and - The
Law was inexorable This information
was not received very pleasantly, the
girls father saying that some one would
get killed if this marriage did not take
place.
As the father of the boy could not be
induced to come to the Office the next
best thing was to get notary 10 go to
him and obtin it But he was engaged
in business in East St. Louis and
the notary would have to wait until
night before seeing him. So when night
came the party went to interview the
boys father at his home The reception
was not very encouraging. The old man
didn't seem inclined-wasn't specially
anxious about the matter, in fact wouldn t
do anything. When some moral suasion
was brought to bear. his wife said; Let
the boy 60 to the penitentiary. Twill
serve him right. The boy was willing
to redress any wrong he had committed
if marrying the girl would satisfy the
parties aggrieyed. But, alas he was
not free agent. Matters began to look
very blue, when happy thought struck
the notary. There might not be a
marriage Incense law in some of the
surrounding states. So he hied him to
the law library, and by the assistance of
kindhearted lawyer he rummaged the
statutes. He found that the laws of
Arkansas fitted the exigencies of the
case exactly. There is no marriage
license required in that state, and males
over II and under is necessary, provided
they live in the state. As the boys
parents did not live in Arkansas and he
was over II years of age, if there he
might marry without consent of his
father. Upon being informed to the law
the three made their preparations and
took the Iron mountain train that even
ing for the nearest point on the road
within the borders of the commonwealth
of Arkansas, which in the case was A

PROHIBITION IN KANSAS
Ex-Governor Anthony on the Subject
Also on National Politics.

CHICAGO, July il.-Ex-Gov Anthony, OF
Kansas, being in the city. was interviewed by
a reporter on the political situation in that
state, In regard to the prohibition question
be thought that it would remain where it was
for the present in Kansas He said that the
collector Of Internal revenue told him in To
peka few days ago that several hundred
more taxes had been paid in this year than
for any other year since Kansas had been a
state. This did not look as if the liquor traf-
fic was crushed out At first it was very hard
to get convictions, but recently there
had been several Still they had cost
50 much money that recently the
board of commissioners of Shawnee
county had instructed the eounty-attorney
not TO bring any more prosecutions unless the
costs were guaranteed. This the governor
did not approve of. as it.looked like conniying
at infringement of the law.
Gov Anthony further said that the Repub-
lican party was going to elect the next presi-
dent beyond any question The people might
sometimes fly off in tangents, as they had last
year, but when the American nation was
brought face to face with the question Of
handing The national government over TO the
Democracy they would refuse to do it every
time The Democracy had nothing to anchor
10, and would be broken in the tilt. He did
not think that Arthur would be an acceptable
candidate, as things looked now There were
