corps, and who keeps drug
store at No. I'll Ocean avenue

allowed him to work about the store.
Mr.. Willard says he very soon began to
miss money and was sure that he WAS
being robbed He says he lost over $500
and then set a trap for Patton. He
counted the money in the cash drawer
and went out for walk. When he re-
turned some of it was missing and he
had Patton arrested.
Patton, when arraigned. said he was
innocent. He said Willard took the
money himself and squandered it. There
being no evidence to prove that Patton
took the money, he was discharged.
Mr.. Willard, when interviewed by re-
porter of 1HE JERSEY CITY NEWS, said
that Patton was held in 500 bail
for the Grand Jury, and hoped that the
story of the arrest would not appear in
the papers as he 'sdid Dot want TO push
Patton too hard" What Mr.. Willard y
object is in saying that Patton was held
for, the Grand Jury is mere conjecture.

THIRSK RAILWAY HORROR.
Plea for signalman HoImes-Are the
Employees overworked.

Employees Overworked
LONDON, Nov 3, 1885,. Throughout the
night men were working upon the debris
OF the wrecks of the express aud
goods trains that collided near
Thirsk early yesterday morning
The tender OF the express train has
not yet been lifted from the mass of
wreckage. 1t is suspected that when it
is removed several bodies will be found
beneath it.
The signalman, Holmes. who is
held responsible for the disaster,
shows signs of mental deraDge-
ment. Much sympathy is expressed
for him, and there are not a few people
who declare tnat the station moster is the
one who is really responsible for the
wreck.
Holmes had passed Tuesday night at
the bedside of his dying child.
After the death of the child he
asked the station-master for leave sof
absence. but his request was refused
and he was compelled TO take his place at
the signals. Physically worn out by the
fatigue of his sick bed vigils. and tired
mentally. he fell asleep and thus precipi-
tated the wreck.
The accident gives special interest to
the evidence of the witnesses now tes-
tifying as to railway management
before the Royal Labor Com
mission. The men assert that
they are oyerworked, while the railway
officials testify that it is impossible to
work the traffic of their lines in a fixed
day of ten hours.
Another lesson taught by the accident
Is the superiority of the American car
over the English car. In a collision the
latter collapses like an egg box

Against Excise Legislation.

Bishop William CroswelI Doane, of Al
bany, suggests. in a recent magazine arti-
Gle, that there should be no excise legisla-
ton of any sort-in fact, that there should
be free rum. His reason is that ''liquor
ought to be removed from politics and
politics from liquor" Were there no laws
against rum selling he thinks there would
be no interference of the rum interest in
campaigns, and that thus great instru-
ment of mischief would be removed The
BISHOP modestly says he would rather
wait until wiser men had probed the
question thoroughly" The question has
been probed enough. in all conscience;
