DURING the whole of his long SER
vice in politics Col William Il. Morri-
son has steadily rejected the plentiful
opportunities every leading public
man has to make money by speGulat-
ing in his position. He has got moth
ing out of public life except salary
that was hardly enough to pay his ex-
penses, and it is understood that at
one time, not very long ago, he was
obliged to mortgage his home. This
makes the announcement that he has
received bequest of $4,000 from
his uncle in California all the more
gratifying. Compared with the re
puted fortunes of some public men II
is mere bagatelle, but for a man Of
Colonel Morrlson's simple habits it is
enough.

HIS BODY SEVERED.
Shocking and Fatal Accident to John
Franks.
Half-Dazed From the Effects of Liquor,
He Falls Beneath a Railroad Car
and is Cut in Two.

Front street, between L and NJ, was
the scene OF a horrible and fatal accident
yesterday forenoon, one that should be a
never-absent warning to men who are
given to over-indulgence in liquor.
If John Franks, who had been en-
ployed as decIx-hand on the steamer
Varuna, had been sober his body would
not now be lying on marble slab at the
Morgue, crushed and torn.
Franks met his death in a frightful
manner on the railroad track on Front
street. It appears he had been on a spree,
and was not at his usual post of duty
yesterday morning. Instead he was
wandering about the freight sheds, and
had leaned up against platform, between
which and the railroad track there was
but few inches of space.
Standing there in half-dazed and stu
pid condition, he took no note Of the fact
that freight car was being backed down
the track and before he was able to real
ize his danger the car had struck him and
threw his body across one OF the rails. a
wheel passed over him before the train
could be stopped. In order to remove
the body the car had to be lifted up on
jacks.
Franks body was terribly mangled
His chest was crushed in, and death was
instantaneous. He was intoxicated at
the time OF the accident, a,.d is thought
was half asleep when the car struck him.
The body was taken III charge by Coro-
ner Clark and removed TO the Morgue.
Owen Clark, fellow-e -employe of
Franks, says the latter was q native of
Philadelphia, where his relatives reside.

"Bill" Winters, Washoe Indian, who
got drunk on Chinese gin, was ordered to

George Lowell was fined $40 for drunk
enness.
The cases of Joe Vagas, charged with

George Cartright and Isaac Golden, ac-
cused OF grand larceny, were continued

Jack Meehan was fined S25 for disturb
ing the peace of Charles Yates.
The case of Henry Farrell, charged
with petit larceny, was dismissed at the
request of the prosecuting witness.
John Johnson, who was convicted of
having burglars tools in his possession,
was ordered imprisoned for $50 days.
George Williams got six months for
vagrancy. 1t was ordered in his case,
however, that the commitment be with
held for twelve hours, in order to give
Williams an opportunity to leave the
city.
All John, dangerous-looking heathen
whom Officer Higgins arrested, was tried
gins and Kripp testified that John was
feared by all the Cinnamon in town, be-
cause he carried knife, and generally
had things his own way.
The court found him guilty and sem
fenced him TO six months imprisonment.

MEYERS MISFORTUNE.
Serious Injury to Fireman While
Doing His Duty.
A Falling Chimney Crushes Adolph
Meyer-Destruction of Small
Suburban Cottage.

The alarm of fire about $3.50 o'clock
yesterday morning was caused by the fall
and breaking ofa lighted lamp in house
at Thirtieth and o streets, occupied by
Alfred Leith. The family had barely
time to escape with their lives, and moth
ing of value was saved.
The loss on the furniture is about $500,
and that on the building, which was
owned by Frank Leith, is about 81, 500.
Both the owner and occupant were in
sured.
Owing to the long distance to be COW
cred, the firemen arrived too late to be of
any service in saving the house. They
could have done little or nothing in that
direction, anyhow, owing to the lack of
water in that sparsely-built neighbor-
hood.
An accident occurred to one of the fire
men while they were engaged, by means
of buckets, in saving the fences about the
yard. Adolph Meyer was working close
by the house, and did not see the chimney
when it toppled over. The hot bricks
came down in a mass and crushed him
TO the ground.
The unfortunate young man was res
cued by his tellow-tiremen as quickly as
possible, taken to his home and surgeon
summoned to attend him.
1t was found that the left thigh-bone
Z had been fractured, that his face had been
painfully burned by the hot bricks, and
that the mortar therefrom had got into
Shis eyes.
When RECORD-UNIoN reporter called
at the injured mans house. last evening,
Meyer could not be seen. He was re-
ported to be suffering great pain, especi-
ally from the lime in his eyes, and his
face was packed in ice to counteract the
burning sensation caused by the lime.
Meyers experience as fireman has not
been of the most agreeable character. A
lew months ago he was detailed to assist
an the work of putting up tirealarm
wires, and while thus engaged he fell
Z from the roof of building and sustained
severe injuries, from which he had but
gust recovered.
Yesterdays accident will contine him
20 his room for several months, and his
broken hip can never be strong again.
1t would seem that some adequate pro-
vision should be made for men who are
thus manned and crippled for life while
in the service Of the public.
The insurance companies, which reap
large profits from their business, might
pay small but regular sums into fund
Tor the purpose of providing for crippled
dremen. whose limbs and lives are so
often risked to protect them from loss.

FIXED OUT OF COURT.
The Police Court Back in the Old
Rut.


Rut.
Soon after Judge Cravens took his seat
in the Police Court he announced that the
days of fixing criminal cases out Of
court were over, so far as his court was
concerned. and for some time it looked as
though there was really going to be a
change for the better in the manner of
dealing with criminal cases in that tribu-
nal. 1t would appear, however, from the
proceedings in that court yesterday, that
The old-time practice has been resumed.
Some weeks ago Il lad named Schaffer
visited the swimming baths, and while
IN the tank left his clothes III the room
that had been assigned him. When he
came to don his clothes he found that
small dime savings bank, containing fif
teen dimes, had been stolen from his
pocket. He at once notified the Superin-
Jendent and an investigation was insti-
Juted. Suspicion fell upon Henry Far
rell, boy who had been arrested several
times for different OtfenSeS and who had
been seen near the room by some Of the
boys. 4 search was made for him and
ne was found in a vacant lot near by
playing craps with a number of other
youths. When he saw an employe of
The baths coming after him he handed
the money to boy named Fisher and
s4ohSG hlLIl " hCCp II loI mn. ne was
taken to the bath-house, the Fisher boy
and a lad named Cole following.
The Cole boy told Fisher he had better
give up the money or he would be likely
10 get into trouble, and he accordingly
handed it over. Young Farrell then con
1essed TO stealing the money, and even
went and picked up the savings bank
from where he had thrown it in the va
cant lot and turned it over to the officer
he was then taken to the City Prison and
4 complaint was filed against him by the
Schafier boy, charging him with petit
larceny.
When the case came up on the follow
ing day it was postponed until Tuesday
of this week, and again on that day until
yesterday, when the complaint was dis
missed because the prosecuting witness
did not care to press it. Young Schafler
was put upon the stand and asked if he
wished To prosecute the case and he said
ne did not. He was then asked if any in
ducement had been offered him. He said
no, bat that Mr.. Farrell, the prisoners
father, had been talking TO him. Several
witnesses were present ready to swear to
the facts as above stated, but they were
not called. There would not have been
the slightest difficulty in proving the
charge without the evidence of Schaffer.
IL would seem to an unprecedented per-
son that the community has some rights
IN the matter of the prosecution of Grim
inals, but evidently Judge Crayens does
not think so now, though he did an
nounce his belief in that doctrine when
he first took Office, for which the RECORD
UNION warmly commended him at the
time.
