SLICK SIMPSON.
But He Was not Slick Enough
to Cover up His Crooked
Trail.

1t will be remembered that about
two weeks ago the BAzoo contained
the announcement that Jim Simpson
Of this city, had gone to Omaha, Ne
braska, in company with Minnie
Stevens, alias Babe Hunt, who is
well-known in police circles. About
four or five days after their disappear
ance. Simpson came sailing into the
BAzoo office declaring that he was a
GOOD, nice man and that he never wen;
to Omaha or any where else with
"Babe" Hunt or any other
woman and wound up by
demanding an explanation.
The BAzoo gave his denial for what
it was worth, and the matter was
dropped.
On yesterday, however, a BAzoo
reporter was shown a letter from
Omaha, which gave full account of
Jim and Jim's doings while in the
Windy City, and not only gives Jim's
protestations of innocence a black eye,
but shows him up in a very bad light.
Jim and "Babe" left Sedalia Friday
afternoon together and reached Omaha
Saturday, going to a married sister of
Babes, to whom Jim claimed that he
had married Babe in Kansas City,
which would have been impos-
sible. as they did not stop
there. After domiciling themselves
upon Baoe's sister, Jim obtained all
the money that "Babe" had-s10-
and PROCEEDED to get on a glorious
drunk, and was carried home ON Sun
day in state of beastly intoxication.
He tried to obtain some more money,
and when Babe threatened to leave
him, he declared he would kill her if
she left him. Finally, on Monday,
he became so bad, that the police were
placed on his track, and he skipped
cut to keep from being arrested, COM
ing back to Sedalia. Babe is sill
in Omaha. Such is what the letter
substantially states and the BAZoo
gives it for what it is worth.

entity, as he had several thousand dol
lars in his pockets, which the tramp
did not touch. Here he was inter
repe:ed by horse laugh" partly de-
strive, and partly incredulOus. He
finished bis tale in good shape, how
ever, and described the dagger,
thrust into the dead mans heart to
the hilt with blood curdling minute
ness. He did not report the murder
to the police, fearing to become impll-
Gated in the gamblers death. Tramps,
he said, were not treated like honest
men, and if he had told the police If
his discovery he would have been
held as the murderer. He afterwards
learned who the murdered man was
and some particulars about him.

The situation as to the trusts seems
about to be reversed in South Carolinia

portions Of the State have been engaged
in organizing into societies called farm

that The time has arrived for laying in

tilizers, it begiI to look like the farmers
have themse v,s organized sort of trust

which are ia this city (BaItimore) and

have decided to dispense with he use of

of the "Maryland and the District of
Columbia Trotting and Pacing Horse

timore with Mr.. Frank Brown. President,
M. Berry White, Secretary, and Mr. j. d.
Mallory, Treasurer. An effort was made
to make the Association a general halse
breeders Association, bn' it was decided
to contine it strictly to trotting horse
breeding. While arguing the sahject the
statement was made that horses make
more revenue to the people of kentucky
than the cattle, sheep, wool and hogs, and
that within the past few days Messrs.
Libley and Miller, of Franklin, Pa, have
paid $l2,500 for weanling colt by Eec-
tioneer, dam Beautiful Bells, tred by Spna-
tor Stanford. of California They also
spoke of the natural advantages which
Maryland possesses Tor the IA sing of fine
horses-its blue grass. limestone water,
and access to the hIg markets.
The rules and bylaws of the Indiana
Breeders Association were adopted. be
initiation fees were fixel ut $40 and the
annual dues at similar amouut The
Association proposes to have trotting
meetings and one more annual sal-a-

Maryland, he said, in proportion to her

Senator German and the Coal Tax.

The fact that Senator German op-
posed successfully, in an able an earn
est speech in the Senate last week, the
proposed amendment of Senator Vest,
of Missouri, to put bituminous coal
on the free list, has given a handle to
some of the virtuous gentlemen in the
State, who are always ready to put the
Senator in a false position, to make
the assertion that he has put himself
in antagonism to the Democratic doc
trine of tariff-reform. A little reflec-
sion will show that this criticism is
not warranted by the facts. There
was no such proposition in the Mills
bull but, on the other hand, fairly
protective tariff was retained on this
article of which the mineral wealth of
Maryland so largely consists. Mr..
German truly said in the course of
his speech that no party had ever
dreamed Of putting coal on the free list
and that the Democratic party never
thought of it. Senator VOORHEES,, too,
who during the campaign was one Of
the foremost, as we'll as most eloquent
advocates of the Democ ratio doctrine
of tariff-reform, in the course Of the
Senatorial debate referred to, stigma
tized Mr.. Vests amendment as negativ-
ing the st. Louis platform and con-
tradicting the position assumed by
himself and others before the people
in the late campaign. If Mr.. German 8
opposition to this amendment is to be
construed into opposition to the DEM
ocratic tariff. reform doctrine, then Mr..
VOORHEES, must at the same time be
convicted of great ignorance Of what
the Democratic doctrine upon this
question is. The fact is that the only
mistake in the matter was the intro,
ducing of the amendment, which
should have not been done.
