Seizure OF Travelling "Hog's' Bag
gage.


One day last week an incident &C.
Cured OH the Eastern Railroad be-
tween Boston and Lynn, which de-
serves record. A very well-known
citizen of this city returnd from Bos-
ton, found the cars very much crowd
ed, and in fact only one seat not oc-
cupied by a passenger, but utilized by
one TO hold valise. Our fellow-citi-
zen whom we will call Mr.. B., quietly
lifted the baggage from the cushion
with view to setting it on the floor
and filling the seat himself.
"What are you doing there p
sharply exclaimed the occupant of the
inner seat "that belongs to friend
mine."
"Never mind your friend" calmly
replied Mr.. b., 81 will take care of
him when he comes"
Both parties "ceased firing" at this
point, and the train moved on to SOM
erville, but no "friend" claimed the
valise and seat, and Mr.. b. reminded
his fellow-traveler Of the fact, who
said
"Well, that gentleman will be here
soon."
But as Everett and Chelsea were
passed and there was no change in the
situation, Mr.. b. concluded to make
a movement. He accordinly left his
seat, and walking to the rear of the
car, said to the conductor, There's a
suspicious character in this car. A
gentleman has left a valise in that
seat, and l believe that man meant
to steal it,-and / want you to stop
him."
The conductor replied:
Eyes, I've seen that sort of gentry
before, and I'll attend to his case :"
whereupon Mr.. B. returned to his
seat.
As the train slowed up at Oak
Island the traveller gave signs of pre-
pairing to leave the car; observing
which the conductor approached. AS
was expected the traveller grasped the
valise but the conductor interposed,
ordering him to drop it. He indig-
nantly refused, saying, at is mine !"
But Mr.. B. here said:
You're a liar, sir" You told me
that it belonged to a gentleman who
was to occupy the seat"
The traveller retained the valise
and attempted 10 go but the conduc,
tor sternly said:
eff you don't leave that, I'll arrest
you / will take it to headquarter:
in Boston, where you can have it by
proving property"
The Oak Islander, beaten at al
points, was oblidged to surrender Oh
the terms offered, and left the train
a specimen of baffled and Disguised
hog Chats the world. 1t is perhaps
needless to thank our friend Mr.. b.
in behalf of decent travellers every
where, for his skillful and courageous
disposal of typical railroad nuisance

What is the Cause Of Crimei

IL the result of the present agitation
of prison management should be that of
throwing light upon the causes which
lead men to enter upon lives of crime an
important gain will have been made by
it, for it is evident upon the face of it
that prison management, even in the
best conducted institutions, rarely leads
to the reform of the prisoners. All our
prisons are full of men, many of whom
have served out one or more previous
sentences. If the Governor interposes
the executive clemency it rarely fails
that the thief is back again within the
walls about as soon as the time of catch
ing him, delays of justice and Jail deten-
tions, permit. Once q criminal always
a criminal seems TO be rule with few
exceptions. The young prisoner, whose
crime may have been little more than a
youthful indiscretion, energies from his
penal servitude hardened in crime and
ready to do his worst. When the pris-
oners are set at hard labor outside the
prison walls, in prison camps, the case lie
worse. To the prisoner this life appears
like horrid slavery. Its value as pun
ishment is lost in the desire of revenge
upon the hard-harded contractor who en-
riches himself through prison labor.
The great point is to find out why men
turn criminals. There are two theories,
which mainly divide philanthropists in
to opposing camps. The one is that Tilt
cracy is tho cause Of crime; the other,
want of trade. The New York Times
gives some interesting figures from the
report of Mr.. Vaux concerning the pen
itentiary at West Philadelphia. They
cover the two decades from 1860 to 1880.
In the first there were 1905 prisoners re-
ceived. OF these LIS could both read
and write, but LILY had never been ap-
prenticed to trade. In the second dc.
cade there were 1888 prisoners received.
OF these 1877 could read and write;
$50 had never been apprenticed. The
detailed figures of the second decade af.
ford other points of interest, such as
these: Out of 7S0 criminals, 572 were
from public school, 1913 never went TO
school, while 755 had no trade. What
ever these figures might mean IL their
antecedents were understood, they Ger.
tainly appear to prove that an elemental
ry education, at least, does not protect
one from the penitentiary. The second
series also shows conclusively that me.
chanics and artisans generally are not
likely to go to prison.
Yet before advocating the general es-
adjustment of labor-training schools AZ
corrective of the evil, it would be de-
sirable to ascertain which is the cause
and which the effect. Were these men
driven to crime through want of a trade
by which to make living2 Or was it the
case that they had no trade by reason OF
constitutional tendencies to idleness and
vice? These are questions upon which
information is now desired. Chicago

ANOTHER terrible accident occur
red at Nebraska City, Saturday after
noon, resulting in the death of anoth-
er OF our citizens, Harvey S. Bundy.
The Nebraska City Press contains
the proceedings of the inquest held
on his body, from which we copy the
testimony of the conductor, G. w.
Patterson, who said: "The engineer
had run the engine out passed the
switch and was backing in to couple
ON to the freight going west. 'Harve,''
as he was generally called,had thrown
the switch and given the signal to
"back up" When I was standing on
the depot platform I saw him Jump
upon the brake beam of the tender
to the engine and grab at the chain
that holds the coupling pin. He
missed his hold and fell. I signalled
the engineer to stop his engine, which
he did, but too late to save "Harve."
The tender passed entirely over his
body, and when l reached him he WAS
dead" -Gazette-Journal.
