He Defrauds Servant Girl,
FORCES a Check and Commits
Various Other Misdeeds.
New YORK, Jan. "a young En-
glishman is at present held in $500 bail
at Yorkville police court on charge of
defrauding servant girl out of $40
and forging a check for SIS on a
man named A. G. Couch, and,
if his own account be true, is member
of the highest circles of the British
aristocraey. His name Is William j.
Richie, and represents himself as the
son of the well-known member of
parliament of that name. He says
that he was an officer in the First
life guards, with which he served in
Egypt, and bears numerous scars of
the wounds he received in the SOudan
campaign. According to his own ac-
count he quarreled with his captain, the
present Col. Sir Charles Lockhart, and
struck him in a discussion about a
scandal connected with the name of
Lady Lawrence. For this OffenSe he
was court martialed and fed to this
country to avoid disgrace. He claims to
have lost S125, 900 in SpeculatiOnS which
he was led into by the man Couch
whose name he forged, but says he will
make all right when his monthly allow

father should learn of his disgrace and
diSinherit him.

THE BLAIR IDIOCY.

Senator BLAIR, New Hampshire's
nOndescript product, seems to be ex-
tremely DESTROYS of earning the appella-
ton of tie king of congressional cranks.
Mr.. BLAIR is a rabid prohibitionist of
the most fanatical stripe. If he had not
given evidence of crankiness before in
his proposition to distribute ST., 000, 900
in those Sections which have neglected
to provide proper educational facilities
themselves for their people, his latest
suggestion, founded upon his bigoted
hatred Of liquor in any form, would be
sufficient evidence that he possesses
eccentricity verging upon insanity.
Briefly, he wants this government to
declare liquor contraband, ard, after
abolishing it completely in this country,
TO build up the navy and then, cruising
upon every ocean, sink each ship that
might have liquor aboard, upon the
same principle that vigorous war was
made some years ago upon all vessels
engaged in the slave trade. This is a
pretty big nation, but it could hardly
undertake the contract of whipping
every nation on earth banded against
it to please the gentleman whom New
Hampshire honOrs with seat in the

"BABY BUNTING"
The ArbuckIe-CampbelI Cas-
Given to the Jury

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Part four of the
supreme court was crowded this MORN
ing with people who came to hear the
summing up in the Campbell-Arbuckle
breach of promise suit. The doors had
to be locked before the hour set for the
session. Women to the unlucky num-
Der of thirteen were able to squeeze
into uncOmfOrtably filled seats before
the keys were turned. Miss "Bunnie"
Campbell sat at her cOunSelS table
under the escort of her elderly
chaperon, and cast Scornful chances.
from time to time, at Baby Bunting
Arbuckle, who was not seated far
away, but who never raised his eyes in
the direction of the plaintiff. Lawyer
John b. Parsons opened the formal pro-
ceedings by argument for the defense.
He followed the same line that he
showed in his examination of witnesses.
He insisted that Miss Campbell had
money only. She cared nothing for his
affection or his comfort. When she saw
he was sick, perhaps unto death, she
urged speedy marriage in order TO get
hold on the mans wealth. Mr.. Par
sons asserted that his client had never
broken the engagement. He not only
said 81 am engaged to YOU" but also II
stand by my engagement" His letters
showed that he was fond of the plant
itf, and the very words of endearment
used therein made him an object of de-
rision as he passes along the streets.
THE characteristic of this case" said
the lawyer, ''the like of which was
the plaintiff kept carefully
copy of every letter that
could bear on the case. She says she
distrusted him. Why then did she pre-
tend to wish to become his wife? Did
she hope for happiness? L tell you no."
Miss Campbell here leaned one elbow
on the reporters table, covered her eyes
with hand and had good cry. Mr..
PARSONS spoke for two hours and fifteen
minutes, and recess was taken. After
the recess eX-Judge Fullerton began his
address OH behalf of the plaintiff lie
spoke of his client as woman above
the average in intelligence and strength
OF character. and referred to her fore
sight in studying for the stage to be pre-
pared to support herself in case of her
fathers failure. He ridiculed the pro-
position of the other side that Miss
Campbell was in search of husband
simply because of his wealth, and re-
viewed her life in support of his theory
that she was an Independent and warm
hearted woman. After Judge Fuller
ton had concluded his argument Judge
Beach charged the jury to the effect that
a contract of marriage had been proven.
The only question was whether Ar
buckle had avoided OF broken it. The
jury, if they found that he had, could
assess damages according to their ideas
of fairness. The jury retired at o'clock
and will deliver sealed verdict in the
morning.
There is rumOr to the effect that TIE
jury has found verdict for Miss Camp
bell for 81, 200.

ANDREW JACKSON LEAGUE.
First Meeting Of the New Organ
iZatiOn in Chicago.


CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-The Andrew Jack
son league, new political organization,
which was recently formed in this city,
gave it's first public meeting tonight at
Central Music hall, which was well
filled when the evenings exercises be-
gan. A number of speeches and musical
selections were given before the chief
event of the evening, the speech of Hon.
w. G. G0udy, who has long been one of
the most prominent lawyers in Chicago
and a great power in Illinois politics,
occurred. Mr.. Cloudy spoke on the
supremacy Of the Law" but most of
his remarks were devoted to the press.
After showing that restraint in regula-
. ton is applied to nearly every pursuit
in life Mr.. Cloudy said: "But there is
one notable exception. The greatest
power in civilized society to-day is that
of the press, and it is practically unre-
strained and free from regulation by
law. This force makes and I'M
makes presidents, governors, SEN
atOrS, representatives in congress, legiS-
lators, judges and all officers in our
complex system of government. 1t is
superior to the executive, legislative
and judicial authorities. because it Gre
ates and destroys them. By the same
means it enacts and enforceS or defeats
law. Private reputation and private
property depend upon this immeasura-
BILE force. In short, the influence of the
daily and weekly newspapers and
monthly periodicals is Omnipotent and
omnipresent. This power. however, is
as potent for good as evil. Who eXer-
ciseS this immense power? The press,
the newspaper. But that is wholly i'm
personal, and therein lies the danger.
The writer may be Gov. Hawley, who
represents his state in the United States
senate, or the boy just out of college,
earning his 80 per week. There may
even be apparent editorial articles, but
in fact written to further some corrupt
scheme, for which 81 line is paid"
As a remedy for these alleged evils Mr..
Cloudy advocated the enactment of a
statute which would require that the
name of the writer of every article-be
it editorial, communication or news-be
given with it,

TO PARDON HARPER.

Incredible as it may seem, move
ment is already OH foot to secure a par
don for HARPER, the wrecker of the
Fidelity Bank of Cincinnati, and who is
now serving his well-deServed sentence
in the Ohio penitentiary. Of course
there is small probability that the effort
will be crowned with success, but it is
simply astounding that it should be
made. And the grounds upon which
the application will be based make the
case no better. The moving spirits in
the matter are those whom HARPER
dragged down in his ruin, and who de-
clare their belief that if he were out of
prison he would win his way to the
front again and repay all their losses.
A strange argument, to say the least.
The people who lost by the failure of
the Fidelity bank evidently made the
mistake of thinking that HARPER'S
punishment was solely in their interest
and in compensation for their losses.
1t is perhaps a natural mistake, but a
decidedly pernicious one. HARPER
was punished for the good of society at
large, that others holding similar posi-
tiOns Of trust might see that punishment
sure, certain and severe awaited those
who were false to their trusts and who
break the laws. Even if the day after
his release HARPER could restore every
dollar he has stolen, it would be a ques-
ton whether the granting of his free
dom should be considered for a mo
ment.
And if he were free. and if he did
once more retrieve his fallen fortunes,
what guarantee have his victims that
he would make good to them his prom
Use? HARPER is much better where
lie is.

1t was hardly to be expected that the
different railroads to which committee
of the chamber of commerce recently
addressed communication on the sub
ject of reduction in the rates between
the two cities would respond at once
with favorable answer. 1t is even
very prevalent impression that if the
various railroads ever do make any con-
ceSSiOn it will simply be because it is
forced from them.
The fact remains that the request for
cheaper transportation is just and rea-
SOnable. In every city in connection
with which there is a large suburban
business rates are much lower, and yet
handsome one at that. Statistics have
shown that during the past year over
100000 passengers were carried by the
roads doing business between st. Paul
and Minneapolis, bringing in a gross
revenue of S2,500,0O0. 1t is natural
enough that the railroads which control
the situation should refuse to give up
this plum, and it is natural enough, too,
that the people should refuse to pay the
some way of cOmpulsiOn is discovered
the roads will persist in their refusal.
If some one of them should reduce the
rate, the rapidity with which it would
at once secure the bulk of the patron
age would speedily bring the others to
terms. They would not be long in dis
covering that, if it were necessary in
order to secure their share of profit
able business, they could carry pas
sengers just as cheaply as their
rival. But so long as the roads act in
concord and can not be reached by state
law. nothing can be accomplished in
that direction.
So far as appears at present the only
hope lies in the completion at an early
day of the elevated road projected by
Twin City capitalists, which is now try
ing to secure franchise and which
promises to furnish transportation at
One-half the price now charged by the
other roads. The people of the two
cities have paid tribute long enough.

Demands Are Complied

READING, Pa, Jan. 9.-Chairman
John Lee and William E. Lewis. master
workman of the National Miners as
sembly, held conference with promi-
nent Knights of Labor last night in re-
lation to the strike. The session lasted
until nearly midnight. Chairman Lee
stated to-day before leaving the city: 81
feel that we have this strike in our own
hands. All of the Reading Railroad
cOmpany'S cOllieries are practically
idle. They are making the show of
running several of their mines with a
handful of men, but they are
neither selling nor shipping a
ton of coal. Beginning with
to-day not an individual mine will be in
operation. The miners of the Wyoming
region have not been called OH to strike
but they have promised financial sup
port. Ii it necessary to call them out
tC win the strike they will respond to a
man, but no such order has yet been
issued. If it is absolutely necessary for
the Reading miners to win, every miner
in Pennsylvania will be called upon to
strike and our assurances are that
they will all come out if called on"
Mr.. Lee added that he had been assured
that the Knights in this city were heart
lily with the order at large in demanding
the reinstatement of all the men dis
charged after the strike had been de-
clared off, and that if they did move
they would move as one man. In this
connection, however, it may be stated
on the other hand that the Read
ing Knights, numbering 1900, have
reiterated time and again that they
would not strike, and this is the
situation to-day. The shops are work.

strike, though they will give all the

say that in refusing to strike they

MEXICAN VETERANS.
They Want the Irregularities of
the Pension Law Remedied.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Twenty old men,
all veterans of the Mexican war, met
yesterday and drafted bill to be pre-
scented to congress by Representative
Hit, of the Galena district. Some time
ago petition was presented to congress
calling attention to the inequalities of
the present pension law. The petition
ers call attention to the provision of the
law which requires that healthy vet
eran of the Mexican war should be sixty
two years old before he gets pension:
to the fact that enlisted servants who
served through the war are not entitled
to pensions, and to the provision of the
law which requires Mexican war veter-
rams receiving a pension for service i'm
the late war to forfeit it or not re-
ceive their pension as Mexican war vet
Grams. The bill drafted yesterday is de-
signed to correct the faults i'm tile pres
ent pension law, by removing the age
limit; allowing Mexican war veterans
who served in the late war to receive Il
pension for service in each of the wars,
and by admitting enlisted servants to
the pension roll.
