TO BET is A CRIME.
A LANCASTER JUDGE so INFORMS
THE GRAND JURY.

these who sfnde Bets on the Political
Result to be Indicted and Prosecuted
According to tho Provisions of Sfusty
Blue Law.
LANCASHIRE, Pa, Nov ga sensation
was created in the crowded court room
shis morning by Judge MeMullens
charge to the grand jury. There is a
state law against betting, an to this
law Judge McMullen called attention.
then he spoke on the evils of betting on
election results and said that this
offense had grown to be a very common
thing in this community. He spoke
with unusual vigor, and concluded by
instrncting the grand jury to indict ali
persons known by them to have made
bets on the election.
There were dozens of persons in the
court room who had wagered large sums
of money on the election November s.
and they felt uncomfortable while the
judge scored the practice Of betting and
the people who indulged in it.
Additional interest IS lent to Judge
AcMullen's charge by the fast that he
was defeated for reelection this year by
II. Cluy Brubaker, who had less than 100
plurality.
Betting in this county this election
was unusually heavy, many wagers Of
from 500 to $500 having been laid,
while any amount Of hats, suits of
clothing, cigars, etc, changed hands.
The penalty for betting prescribed by
the state law is a forfeiture OF three
times the amount wagered, and this
evening not a man in Lancaster will
admit that he won cent on the election
Of Cleveland.
The grand jury must make prssentment
af their own knowledge, so the citizens
of Lancaster who have wagered feel
tolerably safe.

FAIR RATES TO BE HICH
Railroad Author:tiesWiil Main
tain the Standard Charges.

Although Cheap Excursion Trains WIN

who Wish Comfortable Transporta-
tion Dust Pay for 1.-THE Railroad
Mems Side Given.
PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 22.-The decision
of the trunk line presidents to maintain
the present rates TO Chicago during the
Worlds Fair, with the exception that on
trains taking over thirty-fve hours from
New York reduction of twenty per
cent will be allowed, has caused no little
dissatisfaction among many people who
have been counting on gettiEg TO Chicago
and returning foe possibly the price of q
single fare, or at most, not more than G
fare and third. IL the rates fixed by
the railroads are maintained, of which
there is much doubt, il seems likely that
many persons will be deferred by the OK
pense from making the trip.
When asked yesterday as to the prOba-
bic effect of the rates fixed by the com
panies, General Passenger Agent j. r.
Wood, of the Pennsylvania railroad de
Tended the action taken, and said that to
reduce the rates would result in a crowd
blocking of travel.
"Why should we reduce our rates7'
he asked, "for people who travel every
day2 Our trains are nearly always hllod
and the few vacant seats there might
be, will be readily taken. To cut the
rate in half would necessitate the carry
ing of twice the number of passengers
for the same amount Of money, which
would mean a considerable increased ex
pense without any compensatirg re-
turn"
Mr. Wood further said that all person S
desiring to visit ths Worlds Fair would
be given every opportunity 10 do so by
excursion trains shat would be run at
greatly reduced fares, but that they
would necessarily be glow trains TO en-
able the company to carry a sufficient
number Of passengers to make ths train
pay. If the people, he added, desire
TO put up with these Inconvenience we
will be able to accommodate them at a
low rate of fare, but if they want exclu-
siveness they viii have to pay for it. "
Mr. Wood declined TO say what posi-
ton his company would take on the rate
question in connection with the various
excursion companies organized through
GUS the country TO take people to the
Fair for small amounts
A Chicago dispatch says that x-Sena-
tor George Z. Edmunds, Of Vermont,
who is in that city, believes that under
the Sherman Antitrust law the railroad
companies can be prosecuted for entering
into the recent agreement TO put up the
rates on Western bound freight and 60
maintain passenger rates to Chicago
during the Worlds Fair. A great many
people believe, however, that there will
be no necessity for any legal action. as
under the natural stress Of competition
for Worlds Fair travel the agreement Of
the companies is likely TO be more hon
ored in the breach than in the Observance
