A Scheme to Save Kennedy.

Hon. NJ S. Tackett. of Greensburg the prose-
cutting attorney for the counties Of Decatur and
Rush, was in the city yesterday and was inter
viewed by Journal reporter in regard to the
recent statements that Tetteman, who is upon
t:!al in the United States Court for burglary of
the postofice at Attica was also the man who
shot David Baker, at Greensburg, on the first
day of November. 1884 Mr.. Tackett and Mr..
Woodfll, also of Greensbure, who was by the
side of Baker when he was shot, say that they
have no confidence in the report that Tetteman
was the guilty person. A man named Kennedy
was tried and convicted of tra offense. and his
sentence was recently affirmed by the Supreme
Court. Mr. Tackett was the prosecuting attor-
hey and Mr.. Woodfll witness in the case.
They both say that there is no doubt that
Kennedy was the guilty person, and that
the effort to charge the offepse on
Tetteman Is made In the hope Of getting
executive favor for Kennedy Tetteman is not
the first man that the friends of Kennedy have
tried to associate with the killing of Baker. An
attempt was made to prove that dutch Inele,
of Dayton. was the man who did the shooting,
but it failed, and both Mr.. Tackett and Mr..
Woodfll believe that this attempt to get Tette-
man involved in the matter is simply another
effort to get Kennedy out of the tolls.

The Transfer of the Business of the United
States Company from Erie.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press
The transfer of it's business by the Unite
States Express Company from the Erie railway
to the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western went
into effect on May 10 Differences arose some
time ago between the Erie railway and the
United States Express Company as to the terms
of a new contract, and certain of those differ
ences were referred for adjustment to John Low
Der Welsh, of this city, and James Milliken of
Bellefonte These arbitrators agr eed upon an
award, but in going over other details the two
companies could not agree The United States
Express Company thereupon induced the Della
ware Lackawanna 81 Western Railroad Com
panv to place upon its route fast express and
freight trains for the tar West. and entered into
contract for long term of years to transfer all
of its business to that line of road.
AS the Delaware. Lackawanna e. Western
road parallels the Erie except between Port
Jervs and Great Bend, on the Erie the United
States Express Company will lose no territory or
stations except between those points, while il
gains all OF the express business now over the
Lackawanna system, the present express on that
line being discontinued when the change took
place on the 10Th inst.
The Delaware, Lackawanna e. Western with
this large traffic becomes new line for through
fast express trains. The Pacific Express. COW
controlled by Gould, Who is director in the
Delaware Lackawanna 81 Western company, 1t
is understood, has joined the United States Elk
press Company, and its traffic will also inure to
the United States Express Company and the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western road. The
change will prove important to shippers in the
new facilities to be afforded.

The Hancock County Delegates.

from Greenfield stating that all of the Hancock
county delegates elected on Saturday had been
instructed to vote for James J. Walsh for the
Democratic nomination for joint Representative
is not correct, as two of the delegates,
he says, were instructed to support him.
He states further. that he talked with nearly
ali the delegates on Saturday, and that ten of
them said that they would vote for Bynum for
the congressional nomination, only two Of them
having been instructed for Mason. The vote in
Center township. in which Greenfield is located
stood 37l and 1863 in favor Of Bynum against Al
and 40 for Mason, while he claims that for the
nomination for joint Representative he himself
received 300 and 304 against As and 46 for Walsh

The Metropolitan Police Making No Attempt
to Enforce the Saloon Laws.

The enforcement of the liquor law has become
hoary joke in police and political circles The
original plan of the majority of the Police Com
missioners, as outlined some time ago. seems to
have been carried out to perfection. For little
while an arrest was occasionally made, but now
the enforcement Of the law has fallen into the
lowest state Of ''innocuous desuetude." Yester-
day the saloons were running in full blast, at
least the more pretentious ones were, and some
of them have grown so bold as to take little
trouble to conceal the fact that they are selling
at illegal hours. Hacks drive up to the doors
on Sundays and at all hours of the night. and the
occupants descend, give 'the raps" and go inside.
Nearly all the saloons have sentinels stationed
give notice of the approach of a patrolman. The
members Of the police force have feeling that
there is intention that the liquor law is to be
enforced and, without going in citizens clothing,
it would be impossible to enforce it, anyhow, in
any effective fashion. Last night more than
the average number of drunks were slated at the
station house, and altogether things are moving
with the free-and-easy swing desired by those
who howled for Lang's removal.

Fart Hall yesterday afternoon, and made further

An Aged Man Strangely Missing.

George Thormyer, who lives near Acton, was
in the city yesterday, inquiring for his father,
Albert Thormyer. aged seventy-five years, who
left the home of the son, with whom he lived, on
Friday, saying he intended to go to Acton. He
took the Big Four train, came to this city, and
told Frederick Dietz that he intended to 60 to
Louisville to see another of his sons who lives
there. He was last seen, so far as is known,
at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon The son
in Louisville has been communicated with, but
said his father was not there. By reason of the
missing mans great age, it is feared that some
accident may have befallen him. or that he may
have been killed and robbed. He was perfectly
sane, and was not addicted to the use of intox-
icants

ONE Of the great causes Of failures

ONE Of the great causes OF failures
in business, such as have taken
place Of late, says Western con-
temporary, would not be possible
IL it were not for the ease with
which man in business can pur-
chase goods on credit. Too much
credit has been the cause of many a
failure, where, without it, success
would have been certain. The credit
system, as it exists to-day, is posi-
tive injury to business. The temp
tation to plunge into debt with the
hope Of making money more rapidly
is one that few men can withstand.
A large credit leads to recklessness,
and oftentimes to dishonesty, where
without it men would be honest.
Young men starting in business
would do well to bear in mind.these
rules given by an old and successful
merchant: TO buy low and judi
ciously, economic in expenses, and
discount all bills
