The Scaipers and Harvest Excursion
Tickets.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-The sale of harvest e1cur-
sion tickets by the western roads commenced
yesterday, and the indications are that il will
lead to serious complications Many OF these
harvest excursion tickets have fallen into the
hands of scalpers who are manipulating them
for the purpose of cutting regular first-cless
rates. They are now selling tickets-one way
to Denver at Sl5, cut of Sl1. The fact that
IN spite OF the iron-clad provisions under which
harvest excursion tickets are allowed 10 be sold
they stu get into the hands of scalpers and
can be used by them for other parties than the
original purchasers leads to the suspicion that
the harvest excursions were gotten up for the
main purpose OF giving scalpers achance TO get
q good supply of cut rate tickets

A Connecticut Dam Breaks,

MERIDEN, CONN.,, Aug. 6.-Garlick's dam,
holding back rs acres of water 10 feet deep, 2
miles above here, broke this morning and al
lowed torrent of water to sweep through
wild valley to the tracks of the New York, New
Haven, and Hartford railroad balf-mi,e away
The water here poured through a small culvert
into the peat works pond on the other side.
The culvert was too small for the tremendous
volume and pressure was soon exerted which
tore away so feet of the rock ballast ON the
north-bound track the breach extending under
the ties. gang OF men with carloads Of stone
was put to work and the damage was repaired
so that trains could pass slowly over the spot
by 1890. Had the dam broken in the night
and not been discovered as soon as il was %he
tracks would have gone. Water is still rushing
through the culvert, but with proper precau-
tion no further damage will result.

GOSSIP FROM LONDON.
No Rupture Between Tories and Union
ists-The Vienna Lottery Swindle, etc.

LONDON, Aug. 6. - Notwithstanding the
prophesies promulgated very recently in Glad
stonian quarters Of an imminent rupture be-
tween the tories and their unionist allies there
is every indication that the two parties will act
harmoniously for some time to come. The
local tory managers in a dozen constituencies
have. within the past ten days held meetings
at which it was resolved that the support OF
the conservatives should be given to the
liberal unionist candidate at the next election,
while IN as many cases where the tory strength
is greatest the liberal unionists have passed
resolutions TO support the conservative candi-
date.
THR LOTTERY swINDLE.
The young woman arrested by order of the
Austrian government recently, in connection
with the 100000 lottery swindle, has made
full confession of her share in the business. and
1t turns out that her little son, whom she per-
suaded the lottery officials to employ in draw
ing the numbers, is girl Of twelve. This girl
had the winning numbers in her hand which she
pretended to draw from the glass urn. and did
her share OF the work SO expertly that no one
among the large audience present suspected it,
1t was the business Of the official in charge to
examine the numbers left in the urn after the
drawing, and if this had been done of course
the fraud would have been promptly discovered
The woman's confession does not involve this
scarcely be doubted that he had a guilty
knowledge of the fraud
GERMAN PENAL INSTITUTION
The press throughout Germany is engaged
in lively agitation for reform in the penal in
stitutions of the empire, which. it is charged,
are run independently and without any logical
or coherent system for the treatment Of law
breakers Many of the newspapers urge that
Germany in her penal legislation and in the
management OF her penal institutions has
never recognized any principle but that of
terrorizing offenders, whereas the march of
progress has brought with it in other coun-
tries recognition of the more enlightened
idea of the reform of the criminal America
is frequently pointed to as having demonstrated
some valuable truths and the successful results
attained by the reformatory in EImira, n. Y.
are cited in many editorials as an illustration
of what German penal institutions should strive
to emulate.
