An Unknown Msn Killed on the Atlantic
Coast Line Near Richmond.
A man whose name could not be as
certained was killed at Falling Creek,
Chesterfield county, Monday night by a
freight train on the Atlantic Coast Line.
From all appearances he was tramp,
and it is supposed that he was under the
influence of liquor when the accident oc-
CURED. lie was so near to the creek
when the engine struck him that his
body was knocked into the water. The
train.men recovered it and it was taken
TO the section-master's house near by.
The coroner of the county was sum
moned TO view the body. Superintendent
r.. NJ. Sully, who saw the remains yes
terday morning, could not determine
whether the dead man was Turk or
bright mulatto.
The train was so close upon the man
when he was seen on the track that 1t
was impossible to stop it before striking
him. One OF the steps to the engine hit
him and was broken of.
Deceased had on two pair OF oyeralis.

CAN THIS BE TRUE?

Polk Rise and Explain?
Special telegram to the Disps,chl.

Special telegram TO the DispstchL
WASHINGTON, November 25.-Tt is
learned from a prominent Republican
politician of Kansas now in this city that
Colonel l.. l.. Polk, the head OF the
Farmers Alliance, has been throwing
his influence in favor of the reelection
OF Ingalls, to tho Senate. At first il is
said that Polk promised to do what he
could for PETER, the editor of the Kan
sas Farmer, but now it Is charged that
he is advising by letter many OF the
alliance members Of the Legislature to
vote for Ingalls,.
BADLY FOR POLK.
IL this is true, it speaks badly for the
southern man that Colonel Polk pro-
fesses to be, as Ingalls, is about as rank
an enemy of the South as can be found
in public life, and the earnest hope OK
that section is that he may be defeated.
The Kansas alliances have been con-
tending that they were tired OF
having the bloody shirt waved. when
there should be peace between the Sec
tions, and the cry in the cam
paign recently closed was for close
union between the West and tho South
in order that the interests Of the farmers
might be advanced, since there is no.
thing to be gained by allowing Pennsyl-
vania, New England. and Ohio to dictate
the policy OF the Government
RISE, COLONEL POLK, AND EXPLAIN.
Ii would seem that Colonel Polk
ought to rise and explain if he has
really been advising the Kansans to re-
elect the bitter, South hating Ingalls,.

Suburban Property Holders Who VIII
Open Their Lands To the Public.
A meeting Of the subcommittee con-
sisting Of Messrs. Stratton. Thomas, and
Ii. l.. Carter, from the Committee on
Streets, was held in the City Engineers
Office at Z o'clock last night to consider
the petition Of Mr.. f.. II. Bissell and
associates for certain street-car franchises.
A paper signed by Messrs. Lewis
Ginter, James n. Boyd, 7. c. Williams,
Jr., Thomas L. Jeifress. and Hunter
McGuire stated that they were the cas-
sociates" referred to by Mr.. Bissell.
having formed with him the Brook
Turnpike Railway Company.
THE DESIRED ROUTE.
The route asked for in the petition is
as follows: From cooperation line
south on Brook avenue to Broad, east
on Broad or Marshall to Seventh, south
on Seventh to Cary. east on Cary to
Tenth, north on Tenth to Main.
The Richmond City railway has the
exclusive privilege OF running on
Broad street, but Mr.. Bissell thinks that
company will agree to let his cars run
over its tracks rather than on those Of tho
Union Passenger railway, as it has a
right 70 DO upon the payment OF an
amount to be settled by arbitration.
Under the proposed route the new com
pany's cars will run over the Union Pas
senger track on Seventh street from
Broad to franklin, and fron Franklin
to Cary on that OF the Southside Com
pany.
Should the City railway refuse to al
low Mr.. Bissell TO run his cars on Broad
street his idea will be to tap the Union
Passenger Line either at Clay and Brook
avenue, or leave the avenue at Baker
street and connect with the branch line
at st. Peter.
THE AVENUE TOO NARROW.
The subcommittee were unanimously
OF the opinion that Brook avenue WAS
too narrow for double il not for a sim
gle track, and recommended the rejec-
ton Of the petition to the Street Com
mittce.
1t was suggested to Mr.. Bissell that it
would be good idea for him to run q
double track down Brook avenue to
Leigh, and single track down Leigh to
First and thence to Broad. Another
single track could go down the avenue
to Broad, forming loop As it were.
Mr.. Bissell preferred to have the pc
tition go before the Street Committee in
it's present state so that it would be
amended as they wished, if not granted
as it stands
The gentlemen who are associated
with Mr.. Bissell in this project own
about 1900 acres of land near the city,
which they promise by means Of many
roads to virtually convert into an i'm
mense park, which will be thrown open
TO the public.

REFORM In PRISONS
DISCUSSED LAST NIGHT BY THE
EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.
Major Stiles Gives Some Surprising Sta
fistics Bearing on tho Question
Remarks by Several Others.

The first monthly meeting this fall Of
the Evangelical Alliance was held last
night at the First English Lutheran
church.
The attendance was not large, but the
audience was composed OF persons who
felt a great interest in the subject for
discussion, Prison Reform"
The meeting wac presided over by First
Vice President Rev. J. =. Cannon. Of
the Third Presbyterian church. A volun-
tary was sung by the choir. who also
added much to the service with selec-
tions, which were beautifully rendered.
There was Scripture reading by Rev.
DR.. j. b. Newton, of the Monumental
church. This was followed by prayer
by Rev. DR.. Landrum, OF Second Bap-
tist church.
INTERESTING DISCUSSION.
Major Robert Stiles kindly consented
to discuss prison reform before the ALI
ance and showed by his earnestness
that he was heart and soul in sympathy
with this move. His address was full
of evidence of the work Of the prison
reform movement, and showed plainly
the need of this work and the good that
will result from reformation of criminals.
The speaker said the New York Legis-
lature has passed law which to-day is
ahead of any that has been enacted
This makes it necessary for the Judge
before whom q criminal IS tried and con-
demned TO send with the criminal 10
prison q statement of the facts in the
case and the environments by which the
criminal was surrounded. Efforts are
made to place the criminals in classes,
and they are trained 70 be self-support-
ing and elevated in morals and enlight-
ened. Under proper training the prisoner
is turned out better man.
Our statistics, be said, show a dou-
bling OF conyicts in our prisons IN ten
years, willie reports from the other side
show in Great Britain, under prison re-
form, decline, and many prisons have
been closed-nearly one hali-through-
out England.
THE CAUSES.
This has been brought about by
prison-reform schools, training the
young prisoners thus rather than put
ting them in with hardened criminals.
DR.. Landrum was the next speaker.
He said he was surprised to hear such
statements as Major Stiles had made and
TO learn that we were 50 far behind the
mother country. and asked for iniorma-
ton in detail, which could not be given
at the meeting, but is promised at some
future time. Major stiles, however,
made short report Of the work being
done and read some extracts from tho
charter of the Virginia Association.
OTHER sPEAKERs.
Mr.. w. G. Mayo endorsed the move
and was ready to give 10 the cause. Mr..
J. l.. Williams gave short practical
talk DR.. Newton expressed his approval
Of the objects of tho Prison Association
Of Virginia, and DR.. Hoge closed the talk
for the evening.
Or. j. Hall Moore moved that thes
ject he continued at the next meeting.
Adopted.
After the doxology and benediction
the alliance adjourned to meet Decem-
Der 23d at DR.. Hoges church.

SECRET SPECIAL RAILWAY RATES.
Can the Giving Them he Punished?-A De-
cision--A Big Fine.


[By telegraph 70 tho Dispatch.l
CHICAGO, I'LL, November 25.-Judge
Blodgett, in the United States District
Court this morning, rendered decision
which closely affects the efficiency of the
interstate commerce law for the punish
ment of persons and corporations found
guilty of making secret special rates.
The Interstate Commerce Committee,
in response to complaints that rates from
points west of Chicago have been
manipulated in tho interest of
certain favored shippers, caused
an inquiry into the matter to be made
by the Federal grand jury. Among the
witnesses called was Charles Counsel
man, prominent dealer on the Board
of Trade. He was asked If he had not
received rebates on consignments of
grain over the principal railroad lines
from the West, and, under the advice OF
counsel, declined to answer on the ground
that to do 80 would tend 10 criminate
himself. He WAS cited TO appear before
Judge Blodgett and make answer why
he should not be compelled to respond
10 the queries. The matter WAS argued
yesterday, and this morning Judge Blod-
gett gave his decision, holding that
Councilman must answer. Inasmuch as
there was no direct appeal from the
ruling under the statutes Mr.. Counsel
man went at once before the Federal
grand jury and again refused to answer
the questions. This fact WAS reported
to Judge Blodgett, who thereupon i'm
posed fine OF five hundred thousand
dollars $500, OOO) upon Counselman and
ordered him into the custody of the
United States marshal until the fine
should be paid. This developed an ap-
peaIsble case. The next move will be
Tor a writ Of ha5eds corpus before Judge
Gresham, and upon refusal an appeal
will be taken to the United States Su-
preme Court, as the case involves con-
stitutional question.
