The Tramp Nuisance.

The Pittsburgh Commercial Ga
zette says vast army of tramps, the
lines Of which extend from Walls sta
ton to Altoona, Is now quartsred
along the tracks OF the Pennsylvania
railroad Passengers on all the east
and west bound trains pass remarks
about the number of trsmps that are
everywhere to be seen Housewives
in every hamlet from Turtle Creek
to the Eastern slope of the Allie
ghenies are kept in constant state
of terror on account of the presence
OF gangs of these nomads at every
mile post along the route. Even the
chickens seem to scent danger from
afar. and at night roost very high.
Empty coke ovens, barns, stables.
wood sheds, box cars and railway
stations afford shelter to this army
by night, while by day its members
vary the monotony by stealing, beg
glng, fighting, insulting and terror
izing defenseless women,
George Stevenson, m old d-time
brakeman, said to Gazette report
e., Il am not drawing on my imagi-
nation when 1 say that there are at
this moment 200o tramps on the
road between here and Galitzin, and
nine-tenths of that number are ready
to commit most any crime. We
trainmsn have grown to regard a
tramp as our deadliest foe, and well
We may as they are ready any time
to injure us. They break into
freight cars and steal portion Of
the contents. As result the trains
crew is charged with negligence, and
either discharged or suspended.
Oar cabooses have been entered
while We were elsewhere attending
to our duties and our extra clothing
stolen. L could furnish instances
where at least fifty trainmen have
been assaulted and beaten by these
scoundrels within the past year
Some OF the victims were seriously
injured. Then, again, those of our
number whose families live in isolat-
ed houses hear frequently of where
their wives and children have been
;nsulted and their spring houses and
cellars robbed by these fellows
Since the Johnstown food the num-
Der has increased fourfoid, and they

The " hipp.nx Post.

There is not a Penitentiary IN
Delaware said Governor Riggs, of
that state. II a man beats his wife
or sets fire to his neighbor's barn
or breaks into house, he isn't shut
up with a lot of other criminals, with
full time and opportunity to learn
all their tricks of deviltry that he
did not know before. As the pro
vsntive of crime the whipping post
has a much greater terror than a
term in the penitentiary, and l have
never known of a man that came
back for a second dose. He simply
leaves the state. He seeks another
home and you may rest assured tina.
if he stays in Delaware he lives a
quiet life. To be sure it Is a relic of
barbarism, but ii is our way"

4 New York Sensation.

New York has sensation in the
case Of tbs deception of a fast wo-
man upon a prominent citizen nam
sd Robert Ray Hamilton. The wo-
man made commerce of her charms,
beguilsd Hamilton, and he lavished
his money upon her. That did not
sstisty the woman. She wanted TO
be his wife, and told him she was to
bscome mother. He married her
tp ssys her from disgrace. The ba-
by she.put upon him was bought
one 1t vns the fourth one she had
bought. A nurse threatened to ex-
pose her vileues4 to Hamilton and to
save herself frora exposure, she at
tempted TO kill the nurse with a dag
ger. She almost disembowled the
nurse. and thai caused the arrest,
aud that Is the way the manner Of
living OF the woman has become
known to the public.
By the revelations in the case the
public sru made acquainted with the
practice Of selling babies in New
York City.
TuE NAS N THE CASE
Robert Ray Hamilton is the great
grandson Of Alexander Hamilton,
who was killed in duel with Aaron
Burr. and considered honorable in sll
Of his dealings with his fellow men
THE WOMAN IN THE CASE
Evangeline Steele is the daughter
Of Bill Steele, who has lived for
over forty years in the vicinity of
Wyoming county, this State. moving
about from place TO place, and at oil
times living in miserable quarters
and ekeiug out an existence as ne
best might, honestly or otherwise.
At the present time he Is under bail
IN Wyoming county awaiting TRIAL on
an Indictment charging him with ut

Besu.aont, named Lutes. Eva's
brother attempted to murder msn,

and her brother Tom was arrested or

as easy ss Eva :. and she mas beer

dozen men.
Just when Eva cast aside the tie.

is matter Of conjecture. As far a.
has been ascertained she first becamt
known to the world at large in 1882
when she lived at Newark, y. j.
where she was supposed to be On
gagged in earning her living by max
inS h1ral designs, until an sntangle
ment with Brooklyn druggist nee
essituted her leaving Newark, snd i
is SAID that she theu went TO Mexico
Whether she did or not, nothing wa.
heard Of her for some time. when she
again turned up as an inmate Of
ursuErUraBLE HOUSES - BEGUILGNG Sri.H
in PoIt Jervis, y Y. While in this
house she made the acquaintance off
man named Parsons, with whom she
lived tor some time. He is suppos

man, but 50 completely was he under

this she was arrested and indicted,
but was never brought to trial, her
victim, refusing to prosecute The
indictment still hangs over her head.
After this escapade Waveriy became
a trifle too warm for Eva, and she
went to Elmirs, beginning there as
she did in other places As before,
It wss not long before she succeeded

to such a low sbb thst it became i'm
possible for him to satisfy her de
mands any longer, and he sold out
his business in E!mira and went to
New York City, where he Is now in
business.
She did not remain long in Elmirs
after this, but drifted to Oswego-
1t does not appear that shs created
any particular furore in that city, al

little time and WAS next heard of in

PROVIDES FOR Josh MANN.

PROVIDES For Josh MANN.
Eva had pretty hard time of it
after she was thrown over by her
lover, and probably for the first time
in her wicked career. felt the bitter
hand of poverty laid upon her. She
beclme an inmate of disreputable
house on west Ihirty-second street,
and it was here that she first made
the acquaintance of Josh Mann, or
.'Dotty, as he was better known
about tue slums. She became and
probably for the first time IN her life
honestly infatuated with him, aud
out of the proceeds OF her shame
gave him money to dress, gamble and
drink The woman who kept the
house Was Josh Mann's mother, Mrs
Swinton, whose career is as full of
vice as that OF Eva Ii was said that
Eva married Mann, but this is be-
ieved to be mistake though they
lived together as husband and wife
SHE ESTRAPs HAMILTON
Il was while living in fat with
Josh Mann, which was about three
years ago, that she attended the
French ball at the Academy of Mu-
sic in New York. where she met her
latest and probably last dupe-Rob
ert Ray Hamilton. Before this it
may be mentioned that sha was sup
ported for a time by a prominent
New York business man, who drop
ped her when he found he was keep
ing Mann too. Hamilton was infat
usted from the start and became 4
frequent caller upon Eva. He
knew what she was although he
knew nothing of her past career. and
he was aware that Mann posed as her
| husband, but she fascinated him
and he became her slave. He finally
prevailed upon her to abandon the
life she was leading and become his
mistress. She promised TO be true
u him and dismiss Mann, who, it Was
said was given $1,000 by Hamilton to
leave her, and she was installed in
handsome apartments at Hamilton 5
expense and given a liberal allowance.
From that time on Robert Ray Ham
iIton became a miserable dupe.
The adventures did not give ~
Msnn, but kept him supplied with
money she secured from Hamilton
and family Her ambition led ner TO
HATCH OUT THs BABY PLOT,

A NEWSPAPER CLIPPING.

Twas the clipping from paper
Telling Of some funny ceper
On the stage;
So I read it every letter,
Saying that I'd seen 10 better
For an age.
Then turned the clipping over
WITH no purpose to discover
What was there.
ID But in smiling contemplation
OF the humorist's creation,
Rich and rare.
As looked know I started
And the smile from lips departed,
For saw,
Printed there in uncut column,
Notices OF death, sad, solemn,
Full OF awe.
So, Thought, come Grief and pleasure,
Melted out with equal measure;
You may laugh,
For some other one is wailing,
For the tear is smiles unfailiug
Other half.
