While the consolidation of the Cleveland.

ventiIation of Pasxenrer cars

The phenomenally heavy travel over
American railways in the last few months
has resulted in more than the ordinary
amount Of complaint and comment on the
question of the ventilation of cars. I'm
questionably, one of the greatest pre-
ventives of travelling in this country in
real comfort comes from the poor ventiIa-
tion Of cars. and there is great oppor-
tunity for some inventive mind to earn
q fortune and the lasting gratitude Of 70
per cent. OF the travelling public by the
devtSing or a method to properly Ventiiate
the passenger coach. The Pullman COM
pany has done something in this direction
as has the Wagner Palace Car Companv
In educating men in charge Of their cars i'm
the matter Of proper ventilation still
there is large room for Improvement in the
construction of their cars, 50 far as Venti-
lation is concerned; but in the ordinary
coach. where three-fOurths OF the worlds
fair travel has been carried ventilation
has received but little attention from the
train men, nor would ii If the cars were
provided with fairly good method of ven
tflation, for the one brakeman now en-
pl0yed on ten or twelve coach train he's
no time to look after ventilation. 1t might
be well for legislative bodies of the diff
ferent States TO take this matter UP, and
its agitation by State boards of health
would likely bring TO the front some
method OF ventilating cars which would not
be too expensive and would be appreciated
by the officers of the more important roads

the Panama prosecutions and have no
intention of bringing the bribe-takers to
trial, and that the prosecution of Fon-
tame, Cottua and Eiffel will be nothing
more than a farce.
M. Ribot will retain the Office of Pre-.

Interior. 1t is also reported that M

ABOUT GAMBLING.
Conn plaint Made by Two of The
PatrOlmen.

"If Rey. Mr.. White had been with us
Sunday morning early and Yesterday
morning in the Recorders court" said
couple of Asheville's patrolmen to THE
CITIZEN. "he would have seen something
that would have made him less strong
in his denunciation of the force for not
breaking up the gambling dens."
The patrolmen then told this story:
Between and 8 O'Clock Sunday morn
ing they were passing along Sycamore
street. when they heard sounds issuing
from the resort kept by Thos. c'Dumps")
Lane, colored. They stopped and, lis
tening, had no difficulty in hearing the
go with a poker game. The rattle of
chips could be heard, and the house
was evidently doing a fourishing busi-
| ness. The patrolmen stood near the
| door for an hour or more, hoping that
| someone would come out and give them
an opportunity to enter. No one came,
however, and finally the patrolmen re-
turned to police headquarters.
A short time after this one of the
officers went back to Lanes joint, and
! the sounds of the game continuing. took
his stand by the door of the building.
Presently negro came to the door and
stepped outside. The patrolman took
| advantage of the open door and entered,
thinking that he would surprise the
gamblers. But the negro outside saw
the officer, gave peculiar signal and
skipped.
When the officer entered the room
everything was confusion. There were
three card tables and dozen or more
negroes in the room. All of the players
showed a clean pair of heels through
doors and windows, with the exception
OF dumps" He was seen sitting at e
table with deck of cards in his hands
while pile of chips lay on the table be
fore him. He ''doused the glin' anc
tried to escape in the darkness, but wa.
not quick enough. and soon Thereafter
was lying in the city Jail. Sunday h
was released on putting up $40 for hi'
appearance Monday morning.
When Lane appeared Monday he wa
accompanied by Thos. A. Jones, esq.
who defended Lane. The facts as states
were sworn to, while Lane offered n.
evidence in his behalf whatever. Re
corder Miller then rendered his judgmen
that Lane's case would be dismisse
without fine.
Now" said the patroimen, when the.
concluded their story, chow are we t
suppress gambling when the cases we d
make out are thrown aside !''
