Tho Railway Mystery.

RAILWAY, n. j., Dec. 15.-James
Frouatt was arrested here last night
for the murder of a young woman
whose body was found five years ago
in lonely road two miles west OF Rah-
way. The body was unidentified. The
murder is commonly known as the
Railway Mystery" Frouatt was one
of the first arrested on suspicion, and,
although there was then evidence that
would have warranted holding him, he
was allowed to so. He has been under
surveillance ever since. 1t is said that
Frouatt's 12-year-old daughter has
made a confession, duplicating her
father, which, together with other evil
dence, weaves a strong chain ofcircum-
stantial evidence about the prisoner.

A COOK named Patrick Gallagher has
made affidavit that II. II. Dempsey,
master workman of district assembly
No. 3, Knights of Labor, gave him Il
bottle containing powde; to put into
the coffee of the non-union men al
Homestead, and paid him S25 for doing
so and approved a bill of $24 addition
nj: that the men who drank the coffee
were made sick, and that dog upon
which he tried the poison was killed
by it. If the affidavit prove true, the
Malta as a criminal organization, is a
model of moderation compared with
the assembly" referred TO.

CRISP REPLIES TO ANDERSON
Speaker Crisp replied to President An
derson, of the Reform Club, yesterday
in what was described by one Of friends
as "a very Crisp letter. He declined
positively to give out either Mr.. Ander-
sons letter or his reply, or to talk about
them for publication. But his friends
say that President Anderson's letter
only made bad matter worse" and
that in his reply Speaker Crisp points
out that fact in no uncertain language
Speaker Crisps attitude in his reply,
it is said, is that of surprise that Presi-
dent Anderson should have written TO
him at all when he had made no public
criticism whatever of his treatment at
the dinner.
Mr.. Z. Ellery Anderson said this
morning: Speaker Crisp is satisfied
that my conduct at the recent banquet
of the Reform Club was not inten-
tional."

pie not to deal with him. Schuyler
brought suit for libel against the said

WHENEVER the Washington newSpa-
oers lack local matters upon when 10
dilate, they revert to the Long bridge
which they term "a dam across the 20
tomac, and say it is constant menace
TO the national capital, threatening 1t
periodically with destructive Hoods.
Well, the Long Bridge has withstood
the attacks of hundred years, and OF
several hundred newspapers, with no
injury, but great good TO Washington
and it will survive the assaults now be-
inc made upon it by the Star. lnevery
respectitis the best and most convenient
way by which communication between
Washington AID the South can be mann
tanned. and, instead of being removed,
its capacity should be increased, so that
all the existing and future railroads en-
tering Washington from the South may
avail themselves Gifts superior facilities.

THE MEMBERS of the Reform. the
mugwump and anti-snapper, club OF
New York, were unfortunate all around
in respect of their recent banquet.
Their treatment of Mr.. Speaker Crisp,
though gratifying to them at the time,
was objectionable, and has done them
great harm. But even during the ban
quet they had several gasging doses adj
ministered to them; one by Senator
Carlisle, who declared that their pet,
Mr.. schurz, was member of the Cabi-
net of a President who had not been
elected, and one by cx-Gov. Campbell
of Ohio. who said he WAS in favor of the
stevenson method which means
that to the victors belong the spoils.

He Rugged ONE TOO MANY.-Ilen-
ry J. Freeze, who stays at the st. Denis
Hotel, was in Jefferson Market Police
Court Tuesday charged with hugsing
women in the street.
Fashionably dressed and with his
beard aristocratically pointed Freeze,
it is alleged, started at Fifth avenue at
five o'clock on Monday afternoon, and
going along west Twenty-third street,
when that thoroughfare was crowded
with shoppers, selected the best dress
ed and prettiest women, and stepping
up behind them threw his arms around
their waists and gave them Il vigorous
hug.
Before the startled recipient of the
caress could scream, scratch, or faint
the hugger had passed along with an
air of perfect responsibility and inno'
cence.
-Four women who, it is said, we're
treated in this manner made no outcry,
but at Sixth avenue he came to grief.
The women stood in crowd in front
of show window. The styli,h appear
ance of the elder Of the two took the
hugger's fancy, the story is, and he
clasped her in an embrace.
''You villainm she shricked, as she
tore herself from bis arms. Freeze is
said to have tried his old dodge Of
walking along as though nothing had
happened, but the woman and her
Younger companion hurried after him,
calling to the bystanders to get q po-
liceman.
Policeman Saher, of the west 30th
street station, swooped down on Freeze
and locked him up.
The woman who claimed to have
been his latest and most unfortunate
selection was Mrs. Jane Howard, Of
No. 252 Tompkins avenue, Brooklyn,
who was accompanied by her daughter.
They were in court Tuesday and COM
planned against the prisoner, who look
ed sheepish and had nothing to say
beyond a denial ofthe charge. He was
held in 1900 bail for examination.
The police of the west Thirtieth
street station have received many SINH
lar complaints recently and the dc
scription of the offender seems to fit
Freeze. An effort will be made to
have some of these people identify him.
He was released late Tuesday night on
bail furnished by his employer.-N. J.

who did not appreciate the importance OF time

that tho boatmen were the only ones who did
not approve the order to keep the draw closed
between the hours of and 10 A. NJ and and
