THE ESCAPE

Nothing was taken from a9y OF the
passengers on the train, and seeing that
the attempt at robbery was failure,
the smaller man pulled the bell cord
and stopped the train. After firing sey-
eral shots through the car for the pur-
pose OF intimidating the passengers. he
and his companion got oil and walked
across the bottom in tho direction Of
the Chesapeake & Ohio shops.
The train came on to Charleston and
Mr. Tieche was taken from tho cars
here and died about 3 o'clock at the
passenger depot, while Mr.. Drake went
on to New York, where he will lay up
for repairs.
It is thought the would-be robbers
came to Huntington on tho Louisville
train which arrives there ten minutes
ahead Of the +. F.V There is no sus-
picion as to their identity or their
whereabouts. Mr.. TieChe's body was
taken to Cincinnati on the +. +. V. to-
day by his tiauce, who is heartbroken
over the sad occurrence.
PASSENGERS STORY.
W. P. RolI, OF Danville, Va, passcn-
Ger on-the train, aud who is now in this
city, an eye witness and . participant,
gives the following description OF the
occurrence:
"While waiting for the T. F. V. at
Huntington last night, which was q lit
tie late. Walked into the waiting room,
whore l noticed two men sitting near
tho door. Ny attention was particular
ly attracted to the taller one, who wore
black hair reaching to his shoulders.

get cup OF coffee before tho train lett
and noticed the long haired man follow
me in. He eyed the crowd few mo-
ments and went out. got q good view
OF his features and eyed him closely as
a curious looking fellow. next stepped
on the train, securing the first seat in
the upper end OF the coach, which was
the only vacant one in sight.
AS the train started j noticed the
two men walk through the coach, APP
parently looking for seats. wanted to
get Pullman scat in the rear car, so l
walked back TO investigate this matter
and found tho next car behind to be
tho dining car. The train was now in
full motion, leaving Huntington. l
concluded to return to my seat.
A DESPERATE FIGHT.

Last Excursion to Atlantic City.

The last opportunity to enjoy one
of the cheap rate excursions to At
lantic City, which have been run dur
ing the summer by the Baltimore &
Ohio R. r., will be offered on Thurs
day, August 25th. The same low
rates will be provided as heretofore
from Pittsburg, Wheeling. Parkers-
burg, and all intermediate stations
to Washington junction, Md, and
as it will be the last excursion of the
season no doubt it will be largely
patronized by those who have not
yet visited the seashore during the
heated term. The train service pro-
viGod for these excursions is unex-
celled, and the country through
which the express trains pass stands
without rival in the picturesque
ness and variety of its scenery.
Tickets will be valid for return
journey for twelve days from day Of
sale, also to stop off at Philadel-
phia for the night of August 25th,
and will be good on all regular
trains. On return journey they will
be good TO stop off at Washington,
thus affording an opportunity to Wis
it the numerous public buildings,
which are open to visitors free of
charge, and to take trip down the
Potomac to Mt. Vernon, the tomb of
Washington, as well as to visit other
places of interest in and near Wash
ington.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantc.& Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than ~ hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $1,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are proyid-
ed throughout the trip at a reasona-
BILE price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus OF the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent Of the trail Is a grander
experience than climbing the Alps,

High Taxes and Hard Times.

If such a wonderful condition of
prosperity exists as some of the Re
publican papers assert, how can they
account for all army of tramps that
is increasing daily? How can they
accountsfor the thousands of unem-
ployed eagerly seeking for work even
when their very lives are jeopardized
by accepting it as witness the oc-
currence at recent strikes? How can
they account for the New York
World begging for subscriptions to
enable the poor to have medical at
tendance and the Herald soliciting
subscriptions that they may buy
ice.
If these conditions exist and no
one will deny it, where is the boosted
prosperity? Is it not fact that
there never was time when work
was more difficult to obtain and, in
the case of clerks (who have not the
gumption to unite in an effort to bet
ter their condition. more poorly

to-day an advertisement for female
stenographer at SIS per week, and for
that munificent sum she was to fur

upon the necessities of the poor in
these prosperous times" would
charge that much money per week

the numerous answers to advertise
ments and the fact that only young
men are wanted, solely for the reason
that they work cheaper. If some of
these people who prate about pros

upon their own efforts and relying
upon their own merits, they would
quickly change their tune.

l have always thought that the
Republican party was the Simon

is to be seen in almost all their pa

is heard too, that things are so cheap
and that they have been cheapened

This l believe is true, and that there
was never time when such worth

present believe that nearly all of
the fathers of families will agree
with me that there was never a time
when such worthless boots, shoes and
clothing were manufactured as at
present. We have to buy boots and
shoes nearly every week, and the
shoddy clothing is dear at any price.
This remark applies to many other
things which the Republicans claim
are so cheap.

In 1883 the Republicans denied
that they intended to try to control
elections with Force bill. They as
serted, and many of them no doubt
believed, that the election plank in
their platform meant nothing of the
kind. No honest Republican can
make such an assertion now, but it
is made by Republicans nevertheless.
One of them asserted the other day
in face of the Minneapolis platform
and the Lodge bill that the Demo

Force bill is "all moonshine" and
that the Republicans shave no Force

PUNCHING CLERKS.
REPUBLICAN OFFICEROLDERS IN
WASHINGTON MUST PAY
BIG MONEY.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Even this
early in the campaign the financial
agents of the Republican national
committeein Washington are perfect
ing their plans to make the usual
forced loan from the salaries of the
clerks messengers and cuspidor clean
ers in the departments. 1t is given
out cold and fiat by the agents that
every man, woman and child who
holds any sort of a government job
will have to give up literally this
year, to save the G. o. P. from
threatened defeat, and insure the
country the blessings of four years
more of the Harrison Elkins- Raum
regime. The collectors say there is
going to be no nonsense about it..
Government employees who do not
step up promptly to the captains Of
Ace and contribute will be shown NO
mercy. Big money is wanted and it
is announced that the departments
have got to put up at least half a
million
Some of the holder and more inso-
lent of the campaign fund collectors
declare that employees who are get
ting big salaries, ranging from 81 200
to $4,000, must give at least per
cent. Of it to help re elect Harrison.
The collectors have their lists all pre-
pared, and they know the salary ev-
cry clerk gets, what his circumstan-
ces are, and about how we'll able he
or she is to stand bleeding. Armed
with these lists and accompanying
information the collectors are prepar-
ed to talk straight business to their
victims.
One reason given for the unusually
early start in bleeding the clerks this
year is understood to be that the as
sessments will be levied in two in
stallments, so as to make the clerks
feel it less keenly than if it all came
out of one months pay. 1t is said
the first assessment will be collected
between now and the end of the first
week in September. There will be
another assessment levied at the be-
ginning of October, which will come
in very handy to defray expenses of
the closing days of the campaign in
doubtful States All the auxiliary
machinery for bleeding the clerks is
now being got in running order again.
The clubs made up of the Republi-
cans from the different States are be-
ing called together in frequent meet
ings so thAt she jolliers and collec-
tors can get q chance to talk to the
members plainly and arouse their en-
thusiasm and prey on their fears.
The clerks will have to bleed this
year as they never did before, unless
all signs fail.
