SHOT IN THE STREET.

The Superintendent Of q New York Street
Car Line Shot by a Discharged Driver.
LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y, March 81
In broad daylight and in the busiest
thoroughfare of this city, while scores
of people were passing along Borden
avenue, near the ferry, John Roman, an
ex-driver on the Fourth avenue horse
railroad in New York, shot Alfred ID.
Moulton, general superintendent of the
Steinway & Hunters Point railroad, the
bullet entering Mr.. Moulton's back at
the left shoulder blade. The wound is
believed to be mortal, the bullet pass
ing around the ribs and lodging in the
muscles just under the left nipple. The
wounded man was conveyed to his home
at 112 Lexington avenue, New York.
Roman was caught by Police Sergeant
Roulette just as he was preparing to fire
a second time at Mr.. Moulton, whom he
had followed into the middle of the
street He was taken to the Second
precinct station house where 32-caliber
revolver, new and of the latest pattern.
was taken from him. He gave his ad-
dress as 647 West Forty-seventh street.
On his way to the station house Ro-
nan said to Captain Woods: THAT man
has bounded me and my family for eight
years. He killed my son and has driven
me crazy. used to drive car for him
when he was conductor on the Fourth
avenue road"
Mr.. Moulton while being taken from
the scene of the shooting stated that

THE WAGE SYSTEM.
1t Is Denounced i'm the Strongest Way by

1t Is Denounced i'm the Strongest Way by
DIR. Lyman Abbott.
CHICAGO, March 27.-Dr. Lyman Alb
bott, the successor of Henry Ward
Beecher in Plymouth Church, Brooklyn,
made a notable address to a good-sized
audience at Music Hall last night DIR.
Abbott squarely attacked the existing
wage system. The attendance wildly
applauded time and again. SIT is a
system full of inherent evils" said
he, "a system that denies the laborer
either chance of profits or a chance
of work. don't know how you live in
Chicago, but in New York there are
many who are denied even those three
God-free gifts, pure air, clear sunshine,
fresh water, and as for the ownership of
the land, why that is dream to them
untold of. The wage system is sys-
tenn that diffuses poverty, makes coffin
of the cradle and bier of the bed. 1t is
time for US to learn no longer how to
make wealth, but how to distribute it.
We have developed in our midst a plu-
tocracy and the worst possible govern
ment on earth. Let it not 60 down to
our shame that we do not know or care
to know that such facts exist and need
reforming"
The doctor closed with an eloquent
appeal for the universal brotherhood of
man; for an industrial government
wealth for the people, of the people, by
the people.
