Pursuing Chicago scalpers.

Having failed in their effort to get the
ticket brokers indicted by the April grand
Jury the railroads of Chicago and the
worlds fair officials are going to try again.
A detective agency has been employed and
its officers have been buying tick
cts of the scalpers over the lines
principally interested in the prosecu-
tiOn. The law on the subject
makes il n misdemeanor for any person to
sell tickets over any road without q certlfi-
cate of authority from that road. and as
there is no lack of evidence that the law
is being violated every day. the railroad
people will keep hammering away until
they tnd a grand jury that will indict.
They seem determined TO dispose OF the
Chicago ticket brokers. if possible before

PEACE THAT WILL NOT LAST
Chicago and Ohio River Traffic Associa-
ton War Likely TO Be Renewed.
The Roads Are Not Likely TO Keep Rates at 8
Cents Per Mile When More Money Can
Be Made on Two-Cen Basis.

psssen ger man, yesterday, speaking of
the restoration of rates in the Chicago and
Ohio River Association territory. remarked
that 1t was patched ND temporarily. the
conditions at the present time being such
that il was useless TO expect 10 get cents
per mile in this teUitory; everything point
Ell to q 2-cents-a mile rate, and it was evil
dent in the last rate war between these
lines that more people would travel on a
2-cents-a-mile rate. Said the speaker: The
day Of cheaper fares has come. Already
q 1-eent-a-mile rate has been given to
Washing ton, ID. d., TO the Grand Army of
the Republic, and 10 Kansas City to the
Knights of Pythias. half a cent a mile to
Niagara Falls excursionists. and before the
matter is settled equally low rates are
likely TO be given 90 the two political con-
ventions. In the face of this to make.a
3-cents-a-mile rate. expecting long to main
tain IL. is sheer folly. IL the railroads can
afford to haul large bodies at l cent O mile
and less. they can afford TO carry the regu-
lar patrons at cents per mile. and TO this
point it will drift within q few months un-
less all signs are deceptive"

The Wrecking Train.

But few trains are run which attract
more attention than does a wrecking train
going over the road for the reason that it
is seldom called out. and, when called out.
is run under conditions which make it the
more noticeable. In this connection there
is no department. in railroading where more
radical changes have been effected, all
working to the quicker clearing up of
wrecks. Every frst-class road, on each
division has It's wreckInG train and skilled
men In readiness at any moment, day or
night, to board il. and. with the greatest
dispatch, run TO the scene of operations
On ell well egulated roads each conductor
carries a blank. on which appears q num-
Der of questions. When an accident oc-
eurs tie conductor goes TO the nearest tel
egraph station and answers these questions
with the utmost brevity possible
using only the number of the ques-

broken rail caused the accident, he tele-
graphs the figure 2. As soon as the dis
patch is received at the superintendents

THERMOMETERS ANTICS.

Out in the Sun.
ST LOUIS, July 25-In the little obser-
vatory at the top of the United States Gus
tom House to-day the thermometer per-
formed some strange feats. At noon 900 of
heat was registered. At 3 o'clock the
mercury had crept up to the 95 notch,
which seemed to be as high as its aspira-
tions allowed it TO GO When placed in the
sun, however, it reached 106 in IL minutes.
But while 96 was the highest recorded in
the shade by Uncle Sans instruments,
various thermometers in the shady side of
the business streets reached 100 and 101.
Several cases of slight heat prostrations
have been heard of, but up to 8 O'Clock no
fatal cases had been reported.

A SUGGESTION.

1t frequently happens that people
who are advised to use whiskey find
it difficult to do so. But this is
usually owing to the fact that these
people do not select the right quality
of whiskey. In addition to purity
and age, whiskey requires a special
flavor, and it is for this reason very
largely that o. F. c. whiskcy is be-
coming so popular, not only with the
discriminating and better classes, but
with those who cannot successfully
take inferior whiskeys. o. F. c.
whiskey is manufactured by the
George T. Stagg Co., of Frankfort,
KY, one of the best houses in Amer
lea, and there is not bottle of it
that is less than ten years old. This,
combined with its unapproachable
flavor, is what has made it so popu-
lar. 1t can be procured Of James
Getty & Co., $50 First avenue.

Over Five Hundred Curious Citizens
Attend His Funeral.

Through Field Glasses.
NEWS GATHERED FROM THREE STATES

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH1
UNIoNTowN, Pa, July %. Jack
Cooley, the noted outlaw who died Satur-
day from wounds received while attempting
to break into Thomas Collins milk house,
was laid to rest yesterday in the M. E.
Cemetery, in Smithfeld, at 2 o'clock p. M.
The funeral procession was the largest ever
held in Georges township and was COM
posed of the relatives of the dead man and
those who, out Of curiosity, had come from
near and far to see the remains of the man
who had so long disturbed the peace Of the
community.
Over 800 people accompanied the remains
to the graveyard, and many expressed their
desire to see the dead ontlaw, but were dis
appointed. 1t was rumored that Frank
Cooley and Jack Ramsey declared their in
tention of arming themselves and accom-
psnying the remains of their dead comrade
to the grave, regardless of the consequences,
but they did not show up at the funeral.
Sheriff Mccormick had several deputies in
the procession ready to take the remaining
outlaws, but they kept far away.
1t Is said by Fairchance citizens that
Frank and Ramsey took their position on
high bluff in the mountains and viewed the
procession with field glass; They visited
old man Cooley's home on Saturday morn
ing and viewed the remains of their COM
rade. Jacks last words were a request of
his living associates to svenge his death,
which they propose to do.
Thomas Cooley Is much alarmed lest thev
carry out their promise to avenge Jacks
death. He was visited yesterday by num-
ber of his neighbors, who hail Jacks death
as deliverance from an enemy, and they
assured him that should the Cooleys at
tempt to harm him the community will rise
en- masse and hang them to the trees.

ALICE MITCHELL'S SANITY.

Medical Testimony Introduc'd to show
She Inherited Insanity From Her
Mother-How she Manifested Her Love
for the Girl She Murdered.
MEMPHIS, July 25-The usual placidity
of Court was overcome and the Court and
counsel were thrown into a contention that
developed large proportions in the Alice
Mitchell case to-day. Immediately after the
opening of court Dr. B. F. Turner was placed
on the stand. He has made the diseases of
the mind speciality. In person with
predisposing influence any aggravation is
liable to occasion a violent outburst A
hereditary tendency can show itself in
almost any emotional manner.
In answer to a hypothetical question
fitting part of the history of Alice Mitchell
and her mother the witness said, if the facts
were true, he would say that the child in
herited the same mental arrangement
manifested by the mother in a more
or less degree. Concerning the history
of Alice Mitchell's idea and plan to marry
Freda Ward, the witness said that he would
regard it as manifestation of
the same tendency in the mother
and would regard the killing as an
act of insanity; adding that he should re-
it might never be melted to evidence itself
again and then If aggravated, break out at
any time.
He had visited Alice Mitchell several
times. During his first visit he had in
formed Miss Mitchell she could not marry
Freda. She said she could. He asked her
if she did not know that when people mar
ried they anticipated having children.
She said yes, but they did not expect to
have any. He did not consider the
relations between the defendant and Freda
Ward of compromising character. He
said she was not so mature as her age might
indicate. talking in some cases like person
four or five years her junior. He classified
her insanity imperative insanity" He did
not think that the fact certain girl pas
sionately loved another girl was evidence
of insanity.

stand and being interrogated concerning

Freds replied: eff you love me you ought
not to be ashamed to have me kiss you in

ANWARM WAVE THAT HAS NO BOUND

CHICAGO, July 26-Six deaths from sun
stroke 10 the record for the day in this city,
bringing the total since Saturday night up
to Il The heat to-day has become so in
tense that Chicagoans who are not
absolutely tied to their home have
determined to avoid the prospect of fatality
by fleeing to some resort where life will be
made endurable. The earliest toilers felt
the oppressiveness Of the morning, and hour
BY hour the oppressiveness increased as the
Thermometer rose.
AT A. M. it registered 800; in two hours
it ran up 80 more, ana kept on climbing up
hour By hour till at 3o'clock it had reached
o. There was not breeze to relieve the
extreme and overpowering character of the
day. Any slight breath of wind which was
felt was more like sudden blast from a
furnace than the usually cooling blow from
the lake.
The incessant clang of the ambulance
wagon bell told its tale of suffering. The
hospitals were crowded with those who sue
cumbed to the sitting atmosphere, and for
many of them there is little chance of re-
covsry. Those who are in health become
weak; those who are weak or battling with
illness, young or old, are dying from the
weakness produced by the torrid wave.
There is now no prospect of cooler weather.
