MURDERED ON 4 MOVING TRAIN.
Fight Between Tranps in a Boxcar ane
Its Results.

F'osto1ia, Dec. 8,--A CHASTITY find was
made today by Brakeman Bebee, of the
Baltimore & Ohio road, on an east
bound freight train. He was looking for
tramps who had boarded the train at
some point in Indiana. It seems that a
general fight had occurred and when
he found them two We're dead and one
in an unconscious condition. When the
train reached here the dead men We're
taken to the undertaker's and the
wounded man conveyed to the Amer
lean house where medical aid was sum-
moned and everything possible was
done for him. Under surgical treatment
he revived and made the following
statement:
My name is Henry Harris and my
two companions are named Henry
Reesh and Arthur L. Brown. We all
lived at Auburn, Ind, and last night
boarded a freight to strike out and
look for work. When we got to Deshler,
about % miles west Of here, four men
boarded our car and made demand for
our money. We had a fight and they
commenced shooting, and l was shot
down. / think the men left the car at
Deshler again. They got So in money
from me"
Reesh was found to have four bullets
in his head, any one Of which would
have proved fatal. Brown was shot five
times in the body and once in the head.
Harris had two bullets in his head and
one in his left breast. The car in which

shells We're found on the floor. There is
no clue to the murdeT.rs except the de

marshal of Garrett, Ind, who says that
he drove five tramps out of Garrett and
that they boarded the train.

THE MILLENNIUM POsT-oFF1CE.

The Evening Star has gone straight to the
bottom Of question which interests every
resident Of Washington. II has computed the
time necessary TO complete the new post
Office building at the present rate Of progress,
and fixes on the year 1900 as the date, reck-
oned by the amount Of work done yesterday
Chairman Sayers, of the House Committee
on Appropriations, is quoted rs saying that
there is no lack of money for pushing the
construction to completion, and he inti-
mates that the delay is caused by those to
whose interest it is that Uncle Sam continue
to pay rent for the departments which will
eventually find home in the new post-offlee
building. Such a theory is certainly plausi-
bic. and it is entirely clear that some OBJ
lection. other than that OF mechanical coz
struction, is responsible for the present eye
sore on Pennsylvania avenue, between
Eleventh and Twelfth streets.
THE TIMES believes that the matter can be
remedied by the application of little judi
cious agitation. such. indeed, as our after
noon neighbor has begun. If the press of the
city were a unit in the fight ii is sale to say
that larger force than thirty-two men and
one boy would be at work on the most i'm
portant municipal structure ever undertaken
In this city.

A JOYOUS QUARTETTE.

Louisville Courier-Journal: There appears
TO be no hope OF establishing modus yivendi
between the editorial and news columns of
our Republican contemporaries; the editorial
columns continue eloquent of calamity; the
news columns gives evidence of returning
prosperity.
Springfield Republican: From interviews
with the heads of thirty-ive prominent New
York mercantile houses the Tribune in its
news columns concludes that business is i'm
proving and that the outlook is encouraging.
But the Tribune's editorial page still refuses
to admit the possibility OF such a thing.
Providence Journal: The prospect of an in
crease in the amount of Argentine wool ex-
ported to the United States this year to three
times what was sent to us last year affords
some indication of the expansion of business
that is TO come to our wooden manufacturers
under a tariff that admits their raw material
free
Philadelphia Record The times are better,
and there is neither good journalism nor poll
tics in trying to obscure the truth The little
organs which fancy that calamity is their sole
stock in trade, and that good times will leave
them in iobless condition. cannot, of course,
be silenced by the voice of truth for that
voice is unfamiliar in their ears; but it will
make small difference to intelligent people
what they shall say hereafter.

COMPLICATED POLITICS.

The political situation in New York from a
Democratic standpoint 10 complex and inter
esting. Senator Hill has assumed control as
leader and will again have opportunity to
demonstrate his ability as an organizer and
peace-maker among factions of his party.
There is opposition to Tammany and the
election Of Mr.. Hill among the Mugwump
Democrats, but most Of them will vote the
ticket precisely as it comes from the several
nominating conventions. Therefore. the Dem
oeratic party will suffer no serious loss from
the Mugwump disaffection.
The most serious falling of of the Demo
cratic vote will come from organized labor.
An extraordinary effort has been made by
labor leaders to cast the vote Of organized
labor for the Populist party, and their success
is evidenced by the Endorsement Of the Popu-
list candidates by several Of the labor assem-
bies. Should there be & general stampede Of
the labor organizations 10 the Populist party
nothing but the Southern method Of counting
election ballots viii prevent its defeat Of Mr..
Hill and the Democratic ticket in New York.

JERRY'S ALL RIGHT.

Jerry Simpsons health is improving at a
rate which promises to bring him through his
November troubles without a relapse.-Kan-
sas City Journal.
There was a time when folks laughed at
Jerry Simpson, but that time appears to
have gone by. Out in Kansas the sockless
statesman of Medicine Lodge is regarded by
the Republicans as their only formidable op-
ponent for Congress. Boston Herald
Word comes from Western Kansas that
Jerry Simpson, who tottered into the State
last August pale and emaciated. is now al
most entirely well and is "taking on flesh. e"
There is nothing like the Kansas climate at
this season OF the year to brace a man up;
the fried chicken has health-giving savor
the apple pie is source of nervous energy,
and the creek water. such as there is in Kan
sas just now, would inspire Eastwood fig-
ure with life.-Kansas City Star.

MORE DUNLoPIsM.

II is a matter of current report that the
Washington and Georgetown Railway Com
pany pays an enormous rate of interest on
the money invested in its stock. The
people, through its representatives, have
given this company the charter privilege of
running through the most historic street in
the country. If, then, the people have be-
slowed on the company such chance to
make money so much faster than the ordi-
nary rates of usury will allow, it would
seem that the company would most carefully
guard overstepping its privileges in the least.
But this is not the case. Mr.. Dunlop, or
some official function o. this street railway
company is continually making trouble for
professions of the people, and the latest case
in point is the discourtesy shown the Ancient
and Honorable Artillery of Boston, now the
guests OF the Washington Light Infantry.
The incident happened hardly an hour after
the visitors had arrived. and must have pro-
duced poor initial impression of our city.
The legal side of the question has been dis
cussed before in these columns. 1t is simply
a matter of obedience to the orders of the
Commissioners. or, on a higher ground, a
matter of placing the saeredness of human
life above all other considerations.
The Washington and Georgetown Railway
Company will do well not TO assume the abb
surd and almost ludicrous excuse of Mr.. Dun
lop. that there is danger of the company vio-
lating its charter rights if it halts its cars
along the route of crowded procession.
How numerous are suits against street rail-
way companies because they fail to run cars in
defiance Of the orders of the municipal au-
thorities and to the peril of human life?
As mere matter of business precaution,
the company should either change its acting
president or order some radical changes in
the management. The people of Washing
ton will not stand idly by many more times
and see their guests insulted by gripmen who
are merely carrying out orders, nor will they
continually submit to the dangers that result
from fenderless cars in crowded streets.

acter of the deceased. Washington is poorer
to-day" said the speaker, ''than it was a
week ago because OF the death of friend and
brother He has been closely identified with
the best interests of the city for more than
half century. The community is poorer
when such a man passes to his heavenly re-
ward. But not only in business and philan-
thropic circles does he leave vacant place
difficult to fill. but among the members of his
family and the church to which he belonged
for more than fifty years will his loss be more
keenly felt. :"
At the conclusion of DIR. Muir's remark
the choir sang '"rhe Rock that is Higher
Than l." and Rev. E. Hez Sven offered the
closing prayer. The services at Oak Hill
| Cemetery were conducted by the Odd Fellows

ing of the tariff debate each political wing OF
the House was assigned an hour for final de-
bate. Quigg. the rampant champion cheek
exemplifier, applied to ex-Speaker Reed, the
Republican leader, for half the hour to pre-
sent the Republican side of the tariff question,
and he got it-in the same place FitzsimmoIs

There is talk of Quigg as Republican candi-
date for mayor of New York city. 1t is easy
TO imagine the peculiar appearance Quigg
would present under the ruins of brick
house, or conjecture the length OF time he
would live as a companion OF McGinty, but it
