among the tramps arrested By the Mar
shall couple Of days since. Under the
vagabond law 1t is impossible to punish
a cripple, so when His Honor sent the
gang TO st. Clairsville for two months
the one-srmed tramp was left in his
cell. There was nothing to be done but
turn the fellow loose. The Mayor
thought of a scheme TO try the prisoner.
The cell door was unlocked, also the
door of the prison proper. The front
door of the City Building was kept shut
but unlocked. The Mayor sat at his
desk and patiently waited for the bum
to escape. The fellow tip-toed his way
into the hall of the City Building, sup
posing everybody was out. Just as he
raised the latch of the front door the
Mayor hailed him. The fellow jerked
the door open and fed down the street
at a high rate Of speed. He ran clear
to the corporation limits. 1t was good
way to get the fellow out OF town In
hurry.

the country, notably the Anarchists and
rum. He was In favor Of restricting the
emigration to this country. The exer-
cises closed with the dOxology. The
German portion of the audience sang
in their native tongue.
