 Pietro's body had been placed on a heap of stones beside the railroad cut, and some one spread red handkerchief over the ghastly wound torn in the side of the head by the premature blast, says the New York World. There he vchs to lie until evening, when a con- struction train would carry the lifeless form back to the town. Pietro had not been popular with the other men. They said that he was sullen, and carried a 'stiletto under his clothes. So they avoided him and none felt or expressed any sorrow for him.
 The face of the dead Italian stared up unwinlxing at skies as blue and cloud less as those which arched above the sunny peninsula where brown-skinned mother once cradled him in her arms and sung a lullaby to the acconpani mont of the breeze which sighed down the chestnut-covered slopes of the Apennines.

vENAL VOTERS IN CONNECTICUT.

VENAL VOTERS IN CONNECTICUT.
 Professor McCook's estimate that there are 20,000 purchasable votes in Connecticut is evidently wide of the mark. According to his figures seventy five out of every thousand of the voters of American stock in an average Con- necticut town are venal, 800 out of ,000 drunken Americans are venal, and all the shiftless Americans, and all the Americans who have been under arrest or imprisonment, are ready to sell their votes. The venality of the rural population can be accurately measured by the persons who know fully the voting lists in the different towns. Looked at from a social point of view, the incorporate, the shiftless and the criminal classes constitute nearly the whole number of persons who are willing to sell their votes. In the cities, according to Professor Nc Cook, out of every assumed thousand incorporate votes $40 were venal; in every thousand drunkards, 790 were venal in every thousand shiftless, all were venal in every thousand total abstainers every 312 were venal, while in every thousand temperance voters 45 only were venal. Out of every thou sand voters known to have been arrested or to have been in prison, chiefly for drunkenness and it's attendant crimes, | ITS were venal.
 According to the professors calcula- tions the corruption of voters is great and growing evil which is not confined to Connecticut. Taking Waterbury as an example, the result of the recent election shows that the figures are f igreatly exaggerated, or the secret ballot has almost destroyed the vote buying industry. The largest poodle ever sent to Waterbury for political purposes was in the hands of the republican town committee dur.
 ing the closing days of the campaign
 It was distributed with a lavish hand and yet, strange to say, the democratic
 majority was largely increased, instead
 of being almost wiped out, as the re
 publican managers predicted. Where
 did the money go? The only reasonabl,
 conclusion is that many democrats tool
 ex-Governor Walters advice to get al
 the republican money they could, anc
 then vote the democratic ticket.

THE people have had enough of the jug g-handled legislation of the republi- can party, and have turned the job Of making the laws over to the demo- cratic party, and so long as that party remains true to the promises upon which it won this, the most brilliant victory in it's history, the majority of the voters will be true to the demo- cratic party. If it fails to keep those promises, which it is not likely to do, it will deserve defeat, and what is more it will get it. The principal trouble ahead of the party which will run this government after the fourth of next March is to decide upon the best method of keeping those promises, and although many democrats are just now going off half-cocked, so to speak, there is no doubt that the wisest men of the party, those who think well before they speak, will map out the program upon which the fifty-third congress will work.

He Thought Out Loud.

The late duke of Cambridge was in the habit of thinking out loud, SO to speak, and there were times when his audible expression of opinions was at least inopportune. It is related of him by London journal that during divine pray" his royal highness would answer church: Aye, to be sure; why not?'' Once at the opera, after the duke had swept the house with his glasses, he called out in tone that reached from pit to dome: "Why, declare, there are not half a dozen pretty girls in the house not half dozen, not half a dozen"

THE reliable statistics of labor, it is agreed on all hands, are those of Commissioner Carroll D. Wright. They relate to the extent to which labor is an element in production when referring to the prices of articles as affected by their cost in this and other countries. MT Wright has ascertained that the differ ence between the price of labor, even taking it as equally efficient labor in foreign countries and in our own (which is not at all the fact, labor here produc- ing much better results than labor abroad), is but a small percentage of the cost of production. This fact he is likely to bring out more prominently than ever before in his future publica- tions. It will offset the claims that we need anything like the present rate of duties to equalize the cost of production here and abroad. Less than a quarter of thls will be found ample for that pur- pose.

A woMAN's GREAT FEAT.
She Rides 22O Miles Across Europe in
 Sixty-Seven Hours.

She Rides 22O Miles Across Europe in
 Sixty-Seven Hours.
 A remarkable feat of horsemanship, requiring great endurance and won derful amount of determination and persistence in it's successful accomplish ment, has just been performed by a woman. This is a long distance ride on horseback, which, considering the many difficulties encountered in the route traversed, and the rugged and mountainous nature of the country, was made in very good time. The equestrienne is Miss Tomasson, young English woman. The start was made from Innsbruck, the capital city of the Tyrol, at the entrance of the Sill into the Inn, eighty-four miles from Trent From Innsbruck she rode to the town of Belson at the confluence of the Tailor and the 'Fisch, thirty-fve miles from Trent. Passing through Belson she proceeded to St Valentine and thence to Landeck, town of Prussian Silesia, on the Bialia, at which point half her journey was accomplished. Miss Tomasson then retraced her | route, returning to Innsbruck by the same road which she followed on the | first half of her long and weary ride. The entire distance ridden over by Miss Tomasson was two hundred and twenty \ miles, and was covered in the surpris- | ingly short time of sixty-seven and one \ half hours. She rode the same horse throughout her journey. The task was made more noteworthy by the fact that Miss Tomasson had not previously un- ! dergone any training, and that the | route included the celebrated Brenne1 pass and the monoto nous Malser Haide.

TROUBLE OVER A TROLLEY LINE
Citizens and Pennsylvania Railroad Elm pIoysa Fight at Marcus Hook, Pa.

Citizens and Pennsylvania Railroad Elm
 pIoysa Fight at Marcus Hook. Pa.
 CHESTER, Pa, Nov. 17.-There was g clash at Marcus Hook yesterday between the borough citizens and Pennsylvania railroad employees. The Union railway company, of Chester, which is building trolley line to Marcus Hook, laid six pieces of track in the borough, one on either side of branches of the Pennsyl- vania and Reading roads.
 A gang of the railroad workmen tore up the trolley line, and later two gangs laid tracks alongside of the Pennsylvania branch.
 Councilman Richardson ordered the workmen to stop, but they paid no heed to him.
 MT. Richardson then summoned other members of the council and @ number of citizens, and they arrived on the scene with shovels and filled up the excava- tions as fast as the laborers shoveled them out.
 Finding that the objectors were getting the better of them the workmen threw in cross ties to block them, but the citizens threw the cross ties in a ditch as fast as the workmen piled them in the road. Finally the section bosses ordered the sectionmen to place rail across the road but the citizens got hold of it and a tussel for possession began.
 The citizens outnumbered the work men, who were forced to let go. All got out of the way except Dennis McClung, workman, whose left leg was badly in jured.
 The borough policeman by this time reached the battle field, and he was or dered by Councilman Richardson to clear the street of the Pennsylvania's workmen. He ordered them away. They refused, when, jumping on pile of dirt, revolver in hand, he ordered them to disperse. Only section boss, w. H Sanford, refused, and he was placed under arrest Burgess Vernon held him il 1000 bail for court.

STORY OF TWO WOMEN.
What the Trouble Wss and
 How It Resulted.
What Each Has To Say About This
 Most Interesting Matter.
Something Never before Equalled In Our
 Experience.

A story of each is brief, but both are eloquent with true feeling and gratitude, given in their own words.
 The first, Mrs. B. s. Bogart, of the Baptist Home, 65th Street New York City, is as follows:
 "For eight years have been con- stantly under the care of doctors, but found no relief, nor, from what the doc tors told me- did I expect to get any better. I was convinced that they did not understand my case, so thought would try Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and the result has been truly wonderful. I now feel in better health than for the last 20 years.

JUSTICE IN RUSSIA.
A Story to Show That It Is Not Rntirel
 Extinct There.

A Story to Show That It Is Not Entirely
 Extinct There.
 Justice in holy Russia! exclaims Lon- don society. Gen. Van Wahl, chief constable of the police at St. Peters burg, when he was governor at Kieff received visit one day from 8 poor woman, the widow of a police agent who had fallen 0 victim to his duty. For long time she had solicited the pension which was her due. The head of the police, to whom she had ad- dressed her demand, sent her always brutally away. What was to become of her and her children? She took the resolution to go and sec the governor and told him all her story, ''Sit down there and write," replied the general, pointing to writing table. The trem- bling woman took her seat and wrote from the generals dictation long ap- plication. ''Now, address it and wait for me in the next room"
 Two or three minutes afterward the woman was recalled and the general gave into her hands sealed letter, say ing to her: '"Take this letter to the head constable; take care not to open 1t, and come back to me as soon as you have the reply" A week passed, at the end of which the woman went to the palace again, but this time joyfully; her penmon had been granted to her and she thanked the governor with joy. Tt Is useless to thank me; i am noth- ing in the affair."" And he immediate ly gave the following order: "Thc head of the police force at Kieff is dis missed from his post and sent into exile. The reason, because he granted a demand after having received sum of money for so doing" In the letter which the widow had written to the head of the police Gen. Wahl had, un- known to her, slipped bank note for twenty-five roubIes, which accounted for her application being granted.

LIZZIE BORDEN'S CASE.
1t Will be Several Days Before the Grand
 Jury Reports.


 TAUNTON, Mass, Nov. 17.-Eavesd rop- pers have no chance at getting a crumb from the grand jury room where the Borden case is under examination. A deputy sheriff and stalwart policeman guard the door and people are kept at a proper distance.
 When witnesses arrive at the court house they are quickly secluded from in- terviewers, or if one succeeds in eludiEg the watchful eye of an officer for a mo- ment and talks with an innocent stranger, the thread of conversation is snapped short when the eye of the war den takes in the situation.
 It is given out that it will take all of this week and 8 portion of next before report is made to the court. There are hints, however, that there is a lot of new evidence that will clinch the matter of an indictment and that much of it will come from chemical experts who did not show their hand at the preliminary ex- animation.
