The Pittsburg Traction Company Asked to

S. R. Rainey yesterday entered suit

February he boarded car No. 80. at M ar

tor of the car was F. S. Forrest On the way
out a young man named Edwards made
some remark to the conductor about his
pulling the bell to 60 ahead before man
was off the car. Forrest swore at
Edwards. When the car got to Boston
street Edwards wanted to get of,
but Forrest would not stop the car, and
pushed him off, As he did SO he kicked
Edwards. Rainey, the plaintiff, was sitting
in the car, and seeing the occurrence, went
to the door and told the conductor he might
have kill d the man. The conductor, be
states, then swore at him, and pushing him
back into the car, knocked him down and
beat him. He finally let MIN up and ordered
him off the car. Rainey said he would get
off if the conductor would stop the car, but
the conductor refused, and threw him off at
Robinson street.
Ralney was badly hurt, and was COM
PEELED to walk from Robinson street to his
home in Oakland. The company, he claims,
is responsible for his treatment for employ
ing such brute as q conductor"

QUERIES CONCERNING THE ELECTION
Working for Ballot Reform.

Working for Ballot Reform.
To the Editor of The Dispatch.
By resolution of the Executive Committee
I am directed to inform you that this asso-
clation has noted with qualification your
several expressions of approval of the prin-
ciples advocated by this association. The
association is non-partisan and we are
striving, and mean to strive determinedly at
the next session of the Legislature, for the
adoption of our bill, which, if adopted, will
insure to the people of this State the nomi-
nation Of higher grade Of candidates for
public Office than is, on the average, offered
for election under existing conditions. 1t
will dispense with the cost of printing
tickets by the supporters of the different
candidates (who find 1t advisable to print
many times the number actually needed),
and dispense with all the machinery for
their distribution. It will insure secret
ballot, eradicate all possibility for the charge
Of bribery or intimidation and introduce a
decidedly more convenient mode of voting.
1t will give all parties and all candidates an
equal chance, and in point OF economy and
simplicity must recommed itself to every
person who will carefully consider it.
The system proposed has been already
adopted in Massachusetts, and this associa-
tion will strenuously oppose any attempts
to adopt only a portion of it in Pennsyl-
yania, as has been done in New York, Con-
necticut and New Jersey. The approach
ing election in Massachusetts, as did the
last one, will give many illustrations of the
superior operations of the system. Because
OF the agitation of the subject in this State
any explanation you can give of its work.
ings in Massachusetts, will undoubtedly be
read with much interest by the people Of
Pennsylvania. Our efforts are receiving
the greatest encouragement and ample
financial support from individual citizens
and organizations. We realize, however,
the necessity OF the assistance Of the news
paper press of the State and earnestly ask
your cooperation in our endeavors.
1 am, yours very truly,
ALFRED N. CHAMBERS, Secretary.

FIGHTING QUALITY OF WHISKY.

The Fusel OIL is the Dangerous Part, and
Should be Rectihed Out.
Boston Herald.l
Whisky is an alcoholic liquid obtained
by the distillation of fermented grain,
usually corn, wheat or rye, but sometimes
from potatoes. This is natural whisky, and
should at least be years of age before use.
There are very few whisky drinkers who
know what fusel oil is. The writer has
heard people talk about fusel oil who
seemed to think that it was something like
kerosene or machine oil put into the whisky
for'some reason they could not guess.
Now it is this fusel oil which puts all the
fight, craziness and death in whisky, but it
isn't added to the liquor as one would add
water. Oh, no; it grows there, as it we're.
Fusel oil is compound of amylic and other
alcohols. Now whisky drinkers have heard
of alcohol as they have of fusel oil. but 1t is
doubtful whether many of them know that
there are half dozen kinds of alcohol, and
that they all exist in whisky, unless taken
out, as they should be.
There are four alcohols which are
injurious to the human system
when left in whisky. They are:
Propyl, butyl, amyl, caproyl. The power
of their injurious effect is expressed by so
many carbons. For instance, there are
three atoms of carbon in propyl alcohol
and six atoms in caproyl. The alcohol be-
low propyl is called ethyl, which is the
dividing line of danger.
Ali these alcohols named above are re-
moved by rectiication. II raw spirits are
used In making whisky, these dangerous
alcohols exist. 1t costs money to rectify
spirits, however, and there is great tempta-
ton to use them unrectifed. When this is
done the whisky may be classed as "bad."
