A RUFFIANLY TRAMP
Assaults a Citizen Who Refuses
to Give Him Food.

Michael Burns, q tramp hailing prob
ably from Pittsburg, made bold assault
upon Liberty street resident W Wednesday
morning and consequently he languishes
In the city prison. Mike said he was
nearly dying for want Of something to
eat and so he went TO the residence of
John Bachtel at No. 81 Liberty street
where he applied for food. Mr.. Bachtel
refused to give him anything and Mike
spoke insultingly to Bachtel and siezed
him and threw him down upon the pave.
ment. After striking him the insolent
fellow escaped. Officer Battin had Just
turned into bed from his night duties
when young man awakened him and he
gave chase. Burns was captured on
Thompson alley. When taken In
chorge and placed In the city prison via
the patrol wagon, Burns stated he was
willing to pay for his breakfast. When
he went away from the Bechtel residence
several boys followed him and they were
threatened with death by Mike II they at
tempted to capture him. Officer Battin
easily placed him under arrest, Burns is
a tough looking customer.
Burns was taken before Mayor Cassidy.
In default OF IS fine and costa he was COM
mitted to jail. He pleaded guilty to
assaulting Bachtel.

TERRIBLE INJUSTICE.
Two Horribly Crippled PEN
sioners Who Got Dropped
From the List.

Gov. McKinley's bombastic utteIances
on the pension question In his Akron
effort were about ss illogical as rcAn be
imagined, and were thoroughly, hypocriti.
cal. What pensions have been cut Off in
Ohio have been cut of after a careful in
vestigation. No patriotic citizen cares TO
listen to q bloody shirt speech, and even
some Of the old soldiers In the audience
at Akron were dlsgusted with the Cover
nor's ELUSIVE rot on this question. The
real defenders of the flag, the heroes who
fought for principle and got farther south
than Cincinnati, do not care to hear q
man continually stirring up q sectional
strife which would have been dead long
since had such men as Mckinley used
their vocal organs In o better cause than
In opening old sores. That there are
some cases that require attention 10 very
evident. Two have recently come TO light
at Defance,O o., Jas. y. CrAndall and John
Davidson have been on the pension roll
and have been drawing $I2, per month
each, because, as appeared In the records,
they were disabled. An inspector drops
ped into Defiance a few days ago and re-
manned long enough TO make . few In
quiries about some people who were draw
ing pensions from the government. He
found many that were most deserving,
and IL any action is taken in their cases IL
will be to give them an increase. Others
were somewhat less deserving but the in
spector's attention was especially riveted
to the cases of Crandall and Davidson,
who were found to be mail carriers, draw
ing pay from Uncle Sam for duties that
require able-bodied men to perform and
the fact that the two men were performN
Ing their duties ably and well was suffl-
cient evidence of the fact that they are
able-bodied. 10 day or two after the
inspector left town, Crandall and David
son received notice hat they had been
dropped from the list. Both men are quite
prominent and their case has given room
for some talk among those who are in
formed. Crandall is president of the city
council. The attention Of the Governor
Of Ohio is especially directed to these two
cases where old soldiers were horribly
abused by being denied the pleasure of
handling money for injuries which they
never received.

FRAUDULENT PENSIONS.

How the Government Has Been Swim
deled by Pensioners Who Were Never
in the Army.
BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 13.-Erauds Of
. startling character have been discovered
BY Pension examiner Cutler and Sidman
here In Baltimore. The government has
been robbsd for years by forgeries and
other crimes which have come to light
through the present system OF delivering
pensioners' checks at the postofflce. The
examiners now have on hand no less than
thirty Ave cases of fraud.
The officials refuse to give the names
of more than three OF the men mixed up
In the cases they have on hand. These
are Bobert Graham, Edward Esan, who
has been impersoneting Eugene Esau,
bona flde veteran, and Richard Wiley.
Graham Is claimed to have had two SER
vice certificates, drawing o pension on
each, while Egan 10 accused of having
deliberately forged the certlflcatessof the
veteran who bore similar name. Wiley
was drawing pension, but had never
beeen In the army.

Trnmps Oaptnre a Train.

MEDFoRD, N. j., Sept, 19.--About 80
tough-looking customers boarded an
empty train, which was standing on a
siding waiting for the use Of the rail-
way officials, ran it on to the main
track, and then detaching the engine,
loosened the brakes and ran the train
down the grade, which at this point ex-
tends for several miles. They then
took full possession of the cars for sleep
ing and all other purposes except cook
Ing, which was done by big fires on the
ground near by, Dancing was carried
on in one car. The trainmen were noti-
fed after some delay and gave chase
and, with some assistance, succeeded in
routing the enemy and securing the
train.
