Hamilton Case in Court.

NEW YORK. Sept. 6.-Mrs. Swinton and
her son, Joshua Mann, were taken to the
Tombs police court this afternoon. Mr.
Hamilton looked pale and haggard, and
gave his testimony in an almost inaudible
voice. The charge he made was larceny in
the second degree. He admitted knowing
Mrs. Hamilton since June, 1855. and stated
that they had lived together as man and
wife greater part of that time. The testi-
mony was long drawn out. 1t revealed
that Robert Ray Hamilton lived with Eva
l.. Mann three or four years previous to
their marriage, and that hefrequently gave
her money for her support. He never sus-
pected that the child which now bears
his name was not his own. but he did sus-
pect that Mrs. Swinton and Josh Mann
were conspiring. some time in last June, to
obtain some of his money. The testimony
of Mr.. Hamilton in detail showed the sums
of money he has given her. and his already
well-knOwn business connections. In
spector Byrnes told the story already print
ed about the babies. and related what Josh
told him about his trip to Elmira with Eva,
when they lived together as man and wife.
The hearing will be continued tomorrow.

clerk says that no such contract exists be-

for this county, as prescribed by law. There
are other citizens. among them mill-owners,
charcoal contractors and farmers who
would like to lease county prisoners, and if
bids are advertised for Rich will not have
it all his own way. The efforts of Sullivan
and his friends to secure miscarriage of the
sentence has had the effect of turning citi-
zens against him who were at first only in
favor of fine. They are now determiD ed
that the sentence shall be carried out, cad
in the event of the slugger being
leased out, the farmers will do some bid

any one. and if he secured the contract the

GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS.

Ihe Fast Trains on the German Roads Dis
continued, Despite Public Opinion.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
BERLIN, Sept. 6.-The German people are
just now experiencing some of the ills of
the management of railroads by govern
ment In response to the urgent demand
for fast trains between important cities,
the Prussian Minister of Railroads complac-
emily withdraws the few fast trains which
were put on year ago as an experiment,
and declares that the increased expense to
the department is not warranted by the re-
suits achieved. The newspapers raise q
howl over this backward move, and the
commercial community are disgusted, but
there appears to be nothing to do but to
grin and bear it. The exclamation of the
Minister'S course probably is that the rails
used on the German roads are too light to
admit of fast time with safety, but that no
effort is made TO remedy this defect does
not speak well for government enterprise.
