The Tramp.

In the ancient world, the wanderer
was received with hospitality. To turn
the stranger away from ones doors was
not only deemed cruel but an otfense
against the gods. In our modern world,
however, conditions are so changed that
the homeless vagrant is regarded as a
nuisance, and is driven from our doors
with blows. He is called tramp, and
municipalities pass enactments to i'm
prison and punish the idle and homeless
poor. Women especially dread the tramp,
and with reason, for the papers are filled
with stories of outrages committed by
some of these wandering outcasts. But
there are tramps and tramps. One of
the fraternity the other day discovering
a broken rail on a railway track, and re-
alizing that if a train came by, hundreds
of people would probably be killed or
mutilated, and despite the fact that he
was hungry, cold, and thinly clad, he
remained on the wind-swept track for
over an hour, and although so numb
and fatigued he could scarcely give the
signal, yet he managed to stop the train
and save the passengers. He was we'll
rewarded for the service he had done, as
he deserved to be; but would it not be
we'll to bear in mind that many tramps
are such from necessity and not because
of any innate depravity. Out of the
vast mass of homeless poor, only few,
a very few, are i'll disposed, and it is
these ruffians we unfortunately hear
most about. In hard times, the country
roads are filed with these Migrants walk
ing from village to village, III vain search
of work but IN DrOSOerOIIS periods thew
generally disappear and take their place
in the ranks of labor. After all, those
who are very poor and homeless are go
on account of want of economical habits.
Sometimes it is true they are intemper-
ate, but more often it is because they
have been improyident or unfortunate.
Should not the State make some pro-
vision by which every man who is able
and willing to work can find employ
ment, so that at least he could have a
fixed home and food and clothing suffi-
cient to support life ?-DemoreSt'S

INDIANA'S SENSATION.
Certain Trustees Issue Illegal Town.
ship Orders to the Extent OF
500, 200.
Indianapolis teleeram.l


The discovery that certain Township
Trustees of Daviess County this State had
issued illegal township orders to the extent
of 500, 900 or more, and then fed TO Cana
ola, has caused much excitement in bust
ness circles here. where many of the or
ders were disposed of, and there is a
we'll founded belief that the swindle has
been extensively practiced in other parts
of the State. Ii is already known that such
spurious obligations have been issued in
Posey, Fountain, Vermillion, and Shelby
Counties and at the present time it is i'm
possible to estimate their extent. although
1t is probably hundreds of thousands Of
dollars.
Investigation made to- day develops that
r. Ii. Pollard, until recently a resident of
Indianapolis. is at the head of the scheme,
which was both original and daring. He
was agent of various school furnishing
houses in Chicago and elsewhere, and his
business was almost exclusively with town.
ship trustees. With some OF these he made
q conspiracy by which they were TO issue to
him township orders in large amounts in
alleged payment for hool-supplies, and
these he was to sell, dividing the proceeds
with them. AS he stood well financially,
having a constant balance in bank of from
$4,000 to $4,000, and the orders lore on
their face evidences of their genuineness,
he had comparatively little trouble in dis
posing of them, especially as he sold them
at from 10 to 10 per cent. discount, and
they bore s per cent interest. They were
sold principally to Eastern capitalists, al
though Pollard disposed of a, 800 worth
of them to diamond and jewelry house,
said TO be Coon & Co., of Cincinnati, for
diamonds, and 81, 800 to ID. Van Wee, Of
this city, besides unknown amounts to the
Third National Bank of Greensburg, and
other national banks at North Vernon. In
addition to this he paid for large consign-
ment of school furniture to a Chicago
house with them, receiving his commission
for them in cash. He and his family left
here last week, ostensibly for Boston, but
recent advices say that he is at Linn. Ont.
There is'a rumor, which cannot be traced
down to definite sources, that before leav-
ing he borrowed $4,000 in cash from
city bank, putting up $685. of these ille-
gal orders as collateral security. The
swindle is the most extensive one known
in the history of the State, and its full ex-
tent is not yet known.

Existence.
rspringfield tohio) special

A terrible cyclone struck Washington
Court House, city of 1900 inhabitants,
twenty-five miles from here, at 3 o'clock
this evening, and almost swept it from the
earth. The storm came from the north
west, and broke upon the town very sud-
denly. carrying everything before it. The
tornado whirled up Court street, the main
business thoroughfare and ruined almost
every business block in tat least forty or
fifty in all.
Hardly private residence In the town
escaped, fully four hundred buildings 60
ing down. The Baptist, Presbyterian,
and Catholic churches all suffered the COM
mon fate. The Ohio Southern, Panhandle,
Narrow Gauge, and Midland Railroad sta
tons were blown TO smithereens, and every
building in the vicinity was carried away,
making ingress or egrss almost impos-
sible.
AS every wire within q circle OF two miles
is down, it is utterly impossible to get accu-
rate details of this catastrophe. The only
reports that can be had are through an OPP
orator who tapped wire two miles west of
the town, and is sitting in a heavy rain
storm to work his instruments. The panic
stricken people were taken completely I'M
awares, and fled from the tumbling build
ings in every direction through the murky
darkness. A mad frenzy seemed to seize
them, and they hurried hither and thlther
in their wild distraction. little knowing
whittier they were fleeing After the whirl-
wind, which lasted about ten minutes, q
heavy rainfall set in, which still continues
undated at this writing.
As soon as a few of the cooler heads re-
covered their senses searching parties we're
organized, and the sad work If looking for
the dead began. So far fifteen bodies
have been recovered from the debris Of
various ruined buildings. 1t is probable
as many moro will be found before morn
ing. The glimmer of lanterns procured
from farm houses in the vicinity and
from the few houses left standing is the
only light they have TO work by. Two
or three bodies have been stumbled
upon in the middle of the street, where
they were stricken down by flying bricks
or timbers. The cellars of houses and
every sort of refuge were filled with shiv-
ering people. budding together in the vain
attempt to keep warm. One baby in arms
has died from exposure.
Advices from Bloomingburg say that town
was struck by a funnel shaped cloud and
almost entirely demolished. Three or four
persons were killed.
