Summer AID Winter.
The indignation of the passengers on a
western Maryland railroad train Eyas
somewhat unnecessarily excited near
Baltimore by the unusual spectacle OF
richly clad boy of FIVE or six years,
whose legs and feet were perfectly bare,
although the winter morning was a cold
one. The child was accompanied by his
mother and sister, both Of whom were
richly dressed, and the sudden conclu-
sion was formed by the passengers that
the family had spent so much money IN
wraps, dresses and coverings for the BOD
les and shoulders of the elders that notn-
ing had been left wherewith to provide
protection from the inclemency of the
weather for the boys extremities.

Oh elections other than presidential have
not been so large IS on THESE q~uadrennial
occasions, but the tendency has been
generally upward. He told me the other
day that he held much more money that
was bet on the election of 1892 than on
any previous year, but he does not be-
lieve that this indicates a general in
crease of election betting. 1t means
simply that his fame rs a holder Of
wagers has grown, and that men who de-
sire to back their opinions with their
cash come to him for convenience.
The largest amount of money Edwards
ever held for man was for New York
State Senator Murphy, who put up $45,-
600 on Cleveland. 1t is not likely that
all this money was Murphy's own. It
was probabl., the venture of a syndicate
who selected Murphy as their head. Ed
wards sharp blue eyes sparkled when he
spoke Of this bet, and his light mustache
took an extra curl. He conducts his bust

per cent of the money wagered goes to

the bet be agood sized one, he a afford

When q man desiring to make a wager

election Edwards delivers the money to
the winner, receiving from him . re-

with the manner in which the bet has
been decided.
The hotel managers who employ Mr..
Edwards have found that his function as
stakeholder has tended to a material in
crease of bar and other trade for them
during the weeks preceding important
elections, but the crowds of men looking
for opposing bettors have sometimes be-
come so great as to be a decided nuisance,
and last year it was found necessary to
limit the hours during which money
would be received. The scenes at such

The Great Gulf Storm.

A late letter received from Biloxi,
Miss, gives a more hopeful view of the
situation. Hundreds Of men are busy
in repairing damages caused by the
storm and in a few weeks everything win
be restored. The heavy rains which fol-
lowed the great winds did great service
in melting and washing away the salt
debris that was left on shore. The
writer says, even the flower beds in
the Montross House yards were washed
clean and show no signs Of their salt
bath" The wharves are being rebuilt.
and the vessels high and dry on the road
are being wrecked and removed. Right
in front of the Montross House the
wreckage of several vessels and lumber
yards accumulated and greatly protected
the property. The yard fence was the
only one left standing along the entire
beach. The restitution in Biloxi Is re-
ported as being rapidly lessened. Among
the prominent citizens of Biloxi who lost
their lives in the great storm was Cap
tain w. FL. Patton of Back Bay. He
was on the schooner La Marsh, and he
and all his crew were lost. His RENAME
were found dashed to his schooner some
days after the storm had subsidized.

A LEGAL COMPLICATION.

Michigan Law Gives the Mineral Range
Train Robbers an Unusual Chance.
In the case of the people against Domi-
nick and Edward Hogan, William But
Ter and others, accused Of the Mineral
Range express robbery e Houghton,
Sept. is, the prosecution is in a q~uandary.
The case is soon to be called for trial.
Meanwhile the prosecution has TO solvea
very delicate legal problem or forego the
hope of convicting all of the five men at
present under arrest.
The specific charge against the five
prisoners is robbery. The Michigan
statute defines robbery as the theft of
property by means of violence to the
custodian or owner thereof, or intent to
do great bodily injury or to kill in case
of resistance. Fear is made an essential
element of robbery, thus implying that
the person or persons in charge Of the
property must be put in fear Of death or
great bodily injury. The maximum pen
atty in Michigan is imprisonment ut hard
labor for life. Dominick Hogan was the
agent of the express company, and the
SO, 900 stolen was in his charge. II he
relinquished possession Of the money
through fear of violence, he was robbed
and was not himself q robber.
On the other hand, il he was a party
to the theft and feared no injury, then
no robbery was committed, and non of
the prisoners can be convicted Of q more
serious offense than larceny, the maxi
mum penalty for which is FIVE years i'm
prisonment. Therefore, to secure a con-
viction Of any of the accused on the
charge, the prosecution must prove the
innocence of Dominick Hogan, whom 1t
has caused to be held two months in Jail,
and whose good name has been ruined.
The only alternative appears to be the
withdrawal of the charge of robbery and
substituting the charge of larceny. the
punishment for which must be very
light as compared with the just deserts
of such audacious criminals. The de-
tense will make this legal technicality
the main point in their line of action
during the trial.-Minneapolis Journal.

Facing Certain Death.

With his foot caught and firmly held
in a frog on the Reading railroad track
at West Falls, John Duffy met death in
fearful form. Duffy was employed as a
brakeman by the Reading company, and
ran ahead of his train to open a switch.
That duty performed. he signaled his
engineer to bring on the train.
His signal was observed, and as the
train came toward him Duffy found
that his foot vas caught . firmly in a
frog. He shouted for help and made
frantic efforts to release himself, but in
vain. The noise of the putting engine
drowned his cries, and when the engi
neer saw the struggling man in the full
glare of the headlight it was too late te
save his life.
Swiftly the great engine bore down or
the frantic prisoner, and though thu
the lever was reversed and the brake put
down hard the locomotive struck Duffy
and he was literally cut in two. Deatf
was instantaneous, but the expression
on the dead face showed plainly the ter
rible agony the man had endured for
few seconds.-Philadelphia Record.

vote a good deal of time to the study of
systems in betting and the science of
hedging in such a way that no matter
how the election goes they may be win
ners. Politicians, who might be sup
posed to be the leaders, take the second
place, and some of the best known men
in the country have had their good
money in Billy Edwards hands ON pres
idential elections. They do not, however,
as a rule, put up the money themselves
or, bet in their own names. Sometimes
solid business men let their prophetic
convictions run away with them sufd-
GENTLY to cause them to make election
wagers with Edwards help, and a large
number Of young fellows with mor
money and enthusiasm than brains are
in the habit of risking their dollars with
him.
There is no doubtthat in more than one
instance fortunate election betting has
proved the beginning of a confirmed
gambling habit. One man Of my ac-
q~uaintance vas ruined by a lucky cleo
ton bet. He first became a gambler
through Wall street speculations and de-
scended step by step until he was a poll
icy tiend and had lost all his money. FL
nally he came to q sense of his poskSaN,
stopped his gambling, and, securing en-
ployment, was again on the high road to
success. One day just before the cleo
ton of 1892 he dropped in at the hotel
where election bets were being made,
saw Edwards with a big roll of money
in his hands and concluded to risk the
few hundred dollars that he had sue
ceeded in saving from the salary OBJ
tanned in his new found employment.
During the days and nights that were
left before election he was practically q
lunatic. He hardly ate or slept, and he
neglected his business. His friends be-
gan to worry about him, but consoled
themselves with the hope that he would
be all right after election. Their hope
was not realized, for although he won
his wager, it served to start him anew
in the path of the gambler and today
his state is worse than before his re-
form, his place and his money are both
gone, he is hitting policy" again, and
he lacks the moral support of the friends
who helped him to rise after his first
fall.
L The man who should invent a cure for
the gambling mania, often started by a
bet on the election would be a greater
benefactor than he who should discover
some new form of election bet.

A CoIored Man with No Legs and One Arm
Makes Things Lively. 81
City Jailer lola Canova says that "if
they ever send him out again to arrest a
one armed, no legged man he amt going
to CO." Tola's resolution is on account of
an experience he had with an individual
of that description a day or two ago.
lola was kicked in his dinner by a no
legged man and felt so bad about it
that he was almost tempted to send in
his resignation.
1t seems that Peter Moody. a colored
man, who lost both legs and one arm in
a railroad accident, filled up on pure un
adulterated cussedness at a cost of 5
cents a drink, and proceeded to paint
East Jacksonville in bright vermilion.
The first thing he did was to fire his pis-
toll at a boy who drives al ice wagon for
Martin Ferguson. The boy outran the
bullet, and his cries brought Officer
Moore to the scene, but Moody stood on
the stumps of his legs in the middle of
the road and defed the officer to come
near him, at the same time waving in
the air, in a reckless manner, a formid-
able looking revolver.
Officer Moore telephoned for assis-
lance, and Sergeant Thames and lola
Canova went to the scene. They bad
the hardest kind Of a struggle with the
disorderly individual, who inflicted upon
each of them some very painful blows
with the stumps of his legs and arm.
Finally, however, they got him in a cart.
and by choking him succeeded in keep
ing him quiet. The blow of the stump
that caught lola in the stomach lifted
him in the air somewhere in the neigh
borhood of three feet.
Moody is now in the city Jail. He will
be turned over to the county authorities
on a charge of assault with intent TO
kill.-Florida Times Union. "a
