about Barr. Hitchcock denied it and
yesterday Barr took him to Mrs. Kiser's

A Tramp Thought to Have Done 1t.


DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 15.-A special
from Jackson, says: At the coroner's
inquest into the Michigan Central wreck
which will be held tomorrow, Fred T.
Slater, an old railroad man, will testify
that he saw tramp standing on the
platform of the car next to the engine
in the section of the train. The cock
behind the engine that connects the air
brake was found turned Immediately
after the wreck, which prevented the
air brake from working. 1t is believed
that the tramp wanted to get off the
train before it pulled into the station
and turned the cock thinking it would
make the train slack up.

A Bottle Of Raspberry jam Casts shad-
ow Over a Picnic.

A Bottle Of Raspberry jam Casts shad-
ow Over Picnic.
Yesterday. a we'll known Portland man
escorted party Of ladies on picnic 10
Cape Elizabeth. In order to make the
occasion as happy as possible, the man
wife decided to take along bottle OF
raspberry jam, and he was commissioned
to carry it, The jam had aged JUST
enough to be in its most delicious state,
that is, of the consistency of molasses,
and about as sticky as pitch. The party
had some distance to walk, SO the man
put the bottle of jam into the hip pocket
of his trousers, and was soon skipping
over the rocks and lodges with the agili-
ty of channels. But it was suddenly
discovered that he had lost all interest in
the picnic, and instead of being the most
ioyous was the most solemn member OF
the party. He sauntered slowly along
on the outskirts of the picnic, and when
anyone attempted to engage him in con-
versation he would abruptly break it off
and betake himself to another place.
Finally he disappeared altogether, much
to the amazement of all. Later, when
search was made for the bottle of deli
cious lam. of the consistency OF molas-
ses. that also was missing. Then 1t was
discovered that the bottle had broken in
the unhappy mans pocket, leaving him
in condition resembling that OF the I'M
fortunate fly on the sticky fly paper.

Police Patrolmen Reprimanded.

Two police patrolmen, young men re-
Gently added to the force, were sum-
moned before the committee on police
and reprimanded for neglecting their du-
ty. They have adjoining beats in the
eastern portion of the city, and have
been in the habit lately of spending
much of their time loafng. getting
around only enough to answer the tele-
graph calls at the required time. City
Marshal Trickey found out what was go
ing on, and has taken steps to stop it. If
the two patrolmen do not heed the repri-
mand, they will find themselves in more
serious trouble.

ABANDONED PROPERTY.
People Leave Queer Things in Cars-The
Woman Who Walked Away With One
Shoe Off and One Shoe On.

eyes, we get all sorts of articles here, -
said General Baggage Agent Towle OF
the Maine Central yesterday afternoon,
as he pointed to a large chair full OF ar
ticles of apparel. "The road has rule
that all articles left unclaimed in passen-
ger cars at terminal points shall be for
warded to my Office. So we get on an
average two large clothes baskets full a
month"
The pile to which the general baggage
master pointed, showed that travellers
will leave almost anything they may
have in the car. Women's cloaks pre-
dominated, some of them of fine materl-
al and handsomely made. There was
also mans overcoat, a woman's hat,
numerous scarfs and wells, and strangest
of all, single tan shoe. 1t was a wom-
ans shoe, slender and graceful, and it
was all alone. How anyone could have
lost shoe off and then gone off without
at once detecting the loss is a puzzling
question that the railroad. men do not
undertake to answer. And yet, people
leave stranger things than shoes on the
cars. Not long ago, Mr.. Towle had in
his possession three sets of false teeth.
One of the sets had been found in car
at Bath and another at Mt. Desert Ferry.
A man in Dexter wrote to MI. Towle
that he had lost some teeth and Mr..
Towle' sent him the three sets. After
trying them he kept one pair which he
found to fit him and considered there
fore to be his own.
OF course the number of umbrellas
found is quite large, and every month
Mr.. Towle has a bundle of considerable
size in his Office.
A few years ago the Maine Central
adopted the system of having the brake.
men at all important stations warn the
passengers not to leave their umbrellas,
bundles or other packages in the cars.
Yet some people get out of their seats
before this warning is fairly out of the
the mouth of the brakeman and go out
of the car leaving an umbrella or coat.
=
A few years ago woman left one of
her children in the car. She was travel
ing with several, and had also a perplex-
ing number of bundles. In the confus-
ion of getting off she left one of the
children. Of course the loss was soon
discovered and a telegram to the next
station secured the child.
After abandoned articles have been
kept in the general baggage Office time
long enough to allow every owner am
pie time to claim his or her property,
they are burned. The railroad does not
feel like either selling or giving them
away, because the owner might some
time see his property and make troubl Q
for the person wearing it.
