Mail service. In this respect the con-
tents of letters cannot be made known
without violation of law, and without
serious risk of detection. On the other
hand, with the telegraph system under
its control, government officials would
have every opportunity to become ac-
uuainted with every detail OF the Dnsl-
ness of firms, corporations and the
secrets of political parties and party
leaders. To say that the officials would
not utilize this opportunity, even though
they possessed it, is to exhibit the
CniItless innocents of the heather Chi
nee; and moreover, it is contradlcted py
the facts and experience In otner couh-
tries where the telegraph system Is un-
der government control. In conunen-
tai Europe, this espionage is so motor
ious that every man who sends tele-
gram assumes as a matter OF course,
that it will be scrutinized by govern
ment officials, if its contents are i'm
portant or in the least suspicious. Even
in England the same condition OF az
fairs exists in modified sense. A falr
inference from these facts is, that in
the case of the most useful and val
liable news that is obtained by the
newspaper publisher or editor, the sup,
ply would be at once cut off thati 1t would
enormously cOmplicate the difficulties
running political campaigns in this
country. No one can doubt that 1t
would put an enormous advantage into
the hands of the party in power. No
one will question. ~
In conclusion Col. Jones said, THAT
it would put into the hands of the poll
ticians a deadly weapon against the
press which they would be constantly
tempted to use, is too indisputably true
to be denied. Public confidence in the
trustworthy character in that news is
perhaps the chief element of its value.
Anything that would tend to impair
that confidence would by so much i'm
pair the commercial value of the news.
Speaking for myself, as vender OF
news, say unquaItiedly that ! want
no news that has been subjected to even
the suspicion of Government supervi-
sion OF partisan espionage.

A FIRE AT LOUISVILLE.
DR.. A. G. Pontius' Stable Goes up in
Smoke---Loss about $500.


LOUISVILLE, O., Feb. 1O.-[Special. +
Our people were startled at hearing the
alarm of fire sounded last night about
s o'clock. 1t was caused by the burn
ing of DR.. A. c. Pohtius' stable on East
Gorgas street, which was totally de-
stroyed, with its contents, entailing a
loss of $4OO or $500. Insured for $500
in the Ohio Mutual, of Salem; 5000 on
the building and 800 on its contents.
The hand fire apparatus was pulled to
the place, but could not be used as
there was no place from which to get
water. 4 line of men was formed be-
tween the burning building and a
neighboring pump and succeeded in
passing enough water along the line in
buckets to save adjoining property
The town should be better equipped in
case of fire.
The cause of the fire is unknown, as
there was no one connected with the
property in the stable after 3 o'clock in
the afternoon. 1t is Tumored that a
couple of tough looking fellows had
been sleeping in the stable, and sus-
picion points strongly to them.

THE TALLY SHEET TRIALS.
Evidence for the State Nearly All In
Yesterdays Proceedings.


COLUMBUS, Feb. 10.-The trial of the
alleged tally Sheet forgers was contin-
ued this morning. DR.. 7. X. WisSinger
William II. Gray and J. NJ. Lowe teSti-
fed to seeing Montgomery, Cogan and
Blackburn in the city the Sunday after
the October election in 1855. Mr.. Lowe
testified to seeing Blackburn, COgan
and Montgomery together on that day
and stated that their actions were sus-
picious. He gave in detail their move
ments, but the principal point WAS the
establishing Of BlacRburn's presence in
the city on that eventful Sunday.
A. II. Fritchey detailed the methods
of canvassing the returns, and stated
that when he handled them he did not
see any peculiar marks upon the sheets.
He denied that the envelopes were torn
or mutilated in any way when the can
vass was made. He said that on the
following Monday he discovered that
some three hundred tallies had been
added to the names on the list between
Saturday and Monday. This change
was made on the papers of precinct A,
Thirteenth ward.
Mr. Fritchey was asked in relation to
the testimony of John Francis in the
preliminary hearing. The defense OBJ
jected and the objection was sustained.
Grafton Pearce testified to seeing the
defendants together on the Sunday
after the election. A. NJ. Wintermuth
said he did not notice when he handled
the returns that the tally sheets were
soiled or mutilated. Two other Wit
nesses testified to the same effect.

READING, Pa, Feb. 10-[Special. +
The impression that has gone out that
the recent action of the General Exec
utive Board of the Knights of Labor
will tend to prOlong the strike, is hav-
ing a serious effect upon business, which
is now tlatter than eyer. Wholesale
houses of this city report very few
sales in the coal regions. Travelling
salesmen are met with the remark
"We don't want anything until after
the strike is over" 1t is also very diff
ticult to make collections.

graphed to Fred Lied, agent at this
city, who informed the authorities, and

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-04-07

IT is hoped that MT Kilduff and the Meriden- Waterbury railroad company may come to some amicable agreement, as the road has already been delayed long past the time expected The people of the two cities want the road, and the quicker the better.
 The people and the city of Waterbury are not in such hurry for the completion of this road that they wish to give up all their claims to what is just and right. The railroad company wanted to gobble up MT Kilduff's property without paying a cent for it. Then they wanted to change the layout of their road along River street be- cause the original layout was going to cost little more. They presented maps be- fore the railroad commissioners showing that the proposed new layout was seven feet from the street but upon visiting the place it was found that it was four feet nearer The commissioners acceded to this change Now the road doesn't want to comply with the law in passing under highways. The company has pursued a picayune policy throughout, haggling about this and that, and the property owners and the city has shown disposition to so con- struct their road that it will menace life and property as little as possible.
