WASHINGTON, June 9.-The presi-

providing that pensions hereafter
granted to widows of the soldiers of

He Wanted Poison.

There was fellow around the city
last night who was very anxious to
buy strychnine, laudanum or arsenic,
and who didn't seem to care what he
got, so long as it was deadly poison,
but he acted in such a manner that
two wise druggists refused to sell him
the "quietus of human misery"
There seems to be little doubt that the
man wanted to commit suicide, but as
at the present time no corpse has been
found, it is presumed either that he
failed to get the poison or made timely
repentance of his folly.

Tramp Exploits.

CINCINNATI, June 9.-Chief Hazer,
of the police force, is disposed to re-
gard the attack on the railroad train
at Delhi, last night, as the work of
tramps. 1t is certain that it was case
of intended robbery, as it is now
known that after shooting Baggage
man Ketcham, and putting to fight
the express messenger, Zimmerman,
the robbers entered car, rified
Ketcham's pocket and reloaded
their revolvers, then seemed to
have been frightened away, prob
ably by failure of their partner,
sent to take possession of the engine.
The struggle between Engineer Boyd
and the robber on the engine was des-
perate, but ended by the robber being
thrown off, leaving his hat behind.
-Four market men coming to the
city last night, report that they
were met by four highway men, not far
from the scene of the train robbery,
and were robbed. Baggagemaster
Ketcham, who made such a gallant
fight with the robbers, died at 1920
O'Clock this morning, from the effects
Of his wounds.

ALLEN G. THURMAN.
NZAzzSSHEzSNE

When, on March 3, 1881, Allen G..
Humans second term of service as a
United States Senator expired, the vet
eran went back to the practice of law
and to his studies. A bout three years
ago he moved into new residence at
Columbus, the city where he has lived
since 1856. To obey the now proba BILE
call of his party, he is willing to enter
politics once more, although seventy
five years of age.
1t is needless to state that Allen G..
Thurman is held in the highest esteem
by both political parties, as a states
man of learning, experience and lofty
character. He is a native of the State
of Virginia, and was born at Lynch
burg November Is, 1913. Mr.. Thurman s
father was Baptist preacher, who,
when his boyAllen was seven years old +,
moved from Lynchburg to Chillicothe,
Ohio, and there taught school ana
started a small wooden mandatory.
Shortly after this there came to Chill
licothe fine-looking old Frenchman
named GregOire, with a daughter
about the age of young Allen, and
Aliens mother took the little French
maiden into her house to live on con-
dition that her father should teach
young Allen French. She did not
understand a word of English, and
Allen did not understand a word of
French. They played together and
with the teaching from the French
man and his practice with his daugh-
ter the boy soon became quite French
scholar. He received thorough edu-
cation, studied law, and was admit
ted to the Bar when twenty-five years
of age.
After having practiced law for some
years at Columbus, Ohio, he was re-
turned as, a representative to the
twenty-ninth congress. In 1851 he
was elected a judge of the supreme
court of Ohio, and was chief justice in
the same court from 1854 to 1856. He
was candidate for the governorship
of the state in 1867, but was defeated.
A year later he was elected United
States senator, and took his seat
March 4, 1869. He was reelected in
1874, and his second term of service
expired March 8, 1881. John Sherman
succeeded him in the United States
senate.
The statesman learned to take snuff
from NJ. Gregoire. He has kept up
the practice all his life. AS he always
uses a red silk handkerchief, he is
sometimes facetiously titled, "The
Knight of the Red Bandanna."
The old lawyer and statesman,
whose health is sound and vigorous,
solaces his more eXacting pursuits
reading French novels. Problems in
mathematics still have the fascina-
ton for him that they had when at
school he was known as Fright
AngledTriangle" Thurman. He
loves whist played with "the rigor of
the game" and is said to be impa-
tent of stupid pretenders to the prac-
tice of the noble recreation. 1t may
not be generally known that he is a
nephew of "Fog Horn" Allen" the
eminent politician.

First Class Police Court Reporters

First Class Police Court Reporters.
New YORK Letter in Philadelphia Ledger.
The World has engaged as special
police court reporters Rev. DR.. Tai
mage, Henry George, Julian Haw-

Ducey, pastor of st. Leo's, Daniel
Dougherty and Col. Robert G. Inger-

nature will take turns in visiting the
police courts and writing their i'm
pressions of the scenes daily enacted
there. The result should be an inter-
esting addition 10 current literature.
1t may be remarked that there is 2
growing tendency among bright mel
in other professions to take dip int
journalism. The field is so wide an
so interesting, and the opportunitie
it gives for reaching an almost Him
liable audience are SO many, that the
novelist, the historian, the preacher,
the lawyer and the scientist are seek
ing this field for the circulation of their
ideas, and so DR.. Talmage, Father
Ducey, Daniel Dougherty and Henry
George find it no degradation to enter
the ranks of reporters and sketch the
proceedings for one day of the New
York police courts, where panoramas
of the under life of the metropolis are
daily unfolded. The subject is one
that presents many opportunities for
these pen artists.

The skin. either from the lack Of clean

an igniting match was heard in n cor

not there is a man in this house who
will sift it ont, and ii will cost him mere
than one thousand boxes Of matches al

bomb over the people, and all eyes were
turned 10 whence the soun I came. Alter
the benediciion a young man came for
ward and told the pastor that IL was a
