Appropos to the accident which re-
suited SO seriously for Sir. Dchm's little son
day before yesterday, gentleman
said yesterday that it is only a
wonder that some of the scholars
of the Second ward school have not been
hurt, as they are continually jumping on
the cars passing by the school. 1t is i'm
possible for the train men to keep them
away, and the parents are said to pile onto
the watchmen when they drive the boys
away. The gentleman referred to said the
city should pass an ordinance making the
jumping on cars within the city limits an
ofFense punishable by fine and imprison-
ment. He said further that even Valley
Center had such law. The writer is not
sure that such an ordinance is not in force
in this city: il not il should be.

THE FIELD OF LITERATURE.
"Imbroglio-A Drama"

Fortunately it is not often that any man at
tempts a drama of the stateness that THIS
essays. So many have failed, so many more
made themselves ridiculous that comparatively
few undertake so serious task But George
Allender, of California, defying critics and
ignoring the difficulties that beset a man who
writes drama in blank verse, has made the
attempt, and certainly has escaped the trying
ordeal of rdcule. for his success at least, lifts
him above that. He has wisely chosen to
eschew classic and historical subjects,
and has laid his plot in California,
and dressed it in the people of to-day
The movement is full of action, the plot suf-
fciently complex and exciting to hold the atten-
ton, and the dialogue stately and full of force
While Imbroglio does not rise to the Shakspear-
Ian plane, it at no place sinks to puerility nor
lays the author subject to ridicule. There is
enough vigor and intensity in it to make the
reader want to see in wrought out on the stage

THE RED FLAG OF THE COMMUNE.
The Chicago Socialists Enjoy Cold-Day
Picnic, with the Usual Accomplishments.

CHICAGO. Sept 6-The red banner of social
ism Haunted in Market square here to-day
Professions of men, women, boys and girls were
marching and countermarchng Each woman
had either crimson feather in her hat or wore
piece of red ribbon pinned to the bosom of her
dress. The men had red bands about their hats
and more of the same material fastened to
their coats. The children wore red stockings
The occasion of this display was the
socialistic picnic organized in opposition
to the Trades Assembly demonstration
tomorrow, because the latter organization had
voted to taboo the red flag Speeches to the as
sembling crowd were made by Messrs. tielden,
Parsons and Spies. A TRADE against capital was
INDUCED In by all the speakers, each putting
much stress upon the assertion that poverty Is
closely added to social degradation. A red flag
was presented to the metal workers society.
Then the crowds cheered, and the bands struck
up a lively air Though chilled by raw wind
from off the lake, and though the sky threat
ened rain, the Socialists formed in line, and set
out to walk to Ogden's Grove, five miles away.
Between 5000 and 900 men and women were
IN line. The previous advertisements of the
affair had estimated 10, 600 would be the nun Der.
All were evidently bent on having good time.
noticeable feature was the absence of drum
majors, or indeed, any leaders. Nevertheless.
the procession got through all right. Along the
line of march, however, but little excitement or
curiosity was manifested. In addition to Tie
usual socialistic notices. were banners bearing
denunciatory legends against Mayor Harrison
and Governor Ogesby, for their respective parts
in the Chicago street-car strike and the Lemont
quarry troubles In the neighborhood of Divis-
ion and Halstead Streets when two-thirds of the
route haC been covered, occurred the irst ex-
preston of public enthusiasm. Deafenng cheers
greeted the cries against Mayor Harrison. At
the grounds dancing and beer-drinking was con-
tinued until late hour.

FERDINAND WARDS EXAMINATION.
He Says Warner Was "The Old Man of the
Sea" of His Firm.

NEW YORK Sept. 5.-Ferdinand Ward wore
his fall suit buttoned up to his chin in the Su
preme Court yesterday, and Warden Herman,
who rode over with him from Ludlow street Jail,
wore his summer coat unbuttoned. Ward looked
paler than usual, and shivered in the fall sun
shine. The confinement is making his COM
plexion white and soft as lady's, and altogether
he seemed more like effeminate, cigarette
smoking young man than the dashing operator
who managed to owe millions of dollars on a
capital of nothing.
A stack of bank checks representing the mill
ions that Ward had paid over to Warner lay on
the table before counsel, and the dry details of
comparing every check with the entry in the
books of the firm was gone through with. The
suit is brought by George G. Holt as assignee
for Ward, against William S. Warner to recover
money illegally paid to the latter. From the
testimony yesterday it appears that Warner
furnished most of the money used and made
nearly all the profits For instance, to cite one
case, on Feb l. 1884, Mr. Warner deposited
$50 900 with Grant & Ward. On March 10 he
drew out $67, 500, showing profit in forty days
of 81, 500 on that one investment. Two days
later he reinvested the $50, 900, and before the
end of the month drew out $60, 900. Thus in less
than two months. a capital of $50, 900, Warner
drew from the firm his original capital and a
profit of $27, 500 besides.
So for two years Warner continued to invest
money, draw profits and reinvest the same
Sometimes he would bring friends into the pool,
but always to his own profit, according to the
testimony of Mr. Ward. At one time he brought
$3.50, 900 to the firm, collected from twelve differ
emit Wall street men. To each of the twelve he
guaranteed interest at the rate of 3 per cent per
month. This he paid to them, pocketing him
self interest all of the $780, 900 at the rate of
20 per cent per month. Mr.. Ward said that
when he protested that Warner was making all
the profits that gentleman coolly told the firm
that if they did not like it he would withdraw
all the capital he had invested. So Grant &
Ward had to shoulder the old man of the sea.
The firm kept record of the persons with
whom they dealt. Only one unreceipted 'con-
tract" was found among their books, and that
was for So, 400, signed by j. 81. Work. When
Mr. Work called to collect his profits he left his
contract behind, but Mr. Ward paid the account,
nevertheless, and the next day Mr.. Work mailed
the contract and that is how it happened to be
left over

The Revised Version of the Bible.

Harper & Brothers, New York, have pub
lished in good form and at cheap rate the new
version of the Bible, including Old and New
Testaments Whatever may be the regret OF
Bible readers over the alterations made, it is but
reasonable to expect the new readings to event

ITO familiarity with the old renderngs. The al
creations made are the result of the most careful
Investigation and comparison of authorities, and
the production of the finest biblical scholars.
The book, therefore, if it were never to supplant
the King James version, would be valuable and
interesting for purposes of comparison. 1t is by
this desire to compare that eventually this new
rendering will obtain among students of the
sacred Scriptures

Twenty Years in Service.

Washington Special.
The successor to Mr.. Fletcher, chief of the
loan division of the Treasury, whose resignation
recently was requested by Secretary Manning,
has not yet been appointed, and Mr.. Fletcher
continues to perform the duties of the Office he
so long has held. To-day he completes twenty
years of service in the Treasury Department.
1t was his desire, when his resignation was
requested, that he might be allowed to stay his
twenty years out, and his wish has been graft
fed. The return of the Secretary to Washington
will probably expedite the appointment of a
number of officers to prominent places in the
Department. Out Of eghty-fve internal
revenue collectors in the country, only fifteen
who were appointed by previous administrations
now continue in Office

ST.. Louis, Sept. 6.-Chairman Powderly and
Secretary Turner, of the national executive
committee of the Knights of Labor, returned to-
day from Sedalia. They say that a very
large and enthusiastic meeting of knights
was held there last night, and that the
men generally were highly incensed
at the failure of the negotiations with Colonel
Talmage, of the Wabash railroad. and at the
position taken by that gentleman, and were very
conservative in their views, however,
and curbed the eagerness of the men
to such degree that they are now
willing to quietly wait the action of the
executive committee. Messrs. Powderly and
Turner will tomorrow submit a new proposition
to Colonel Talmage, to the effect that as he in
creases his working force, either by filling
cancies or by the employment of additional
men. he shall first give places to the locked out
Knights of Labor, and shall employ no other
men until their number is exhausted.
