WORTH" asked a JOURNAL reporter of
Captain J. G. Waters today.
Il spent a week in Leavenworth wait
ing for the trial, but nothing was done
while l was there. After 1 had left and
was in Usage county attending court,
received a telegram from Mr.. Perry tell
ing me that the men would be tried, but
1 could not possibly go there. They had
good counsel, however, and nothing more
could have been done for them.
Il see no reason under the sum-" con-
tinued Captain Waters, "why the men
didn't all escape. There were no special
restrictions put upon them until after
they were sentenced and Mr.. Perry
wasn't anxious to keep them. As it is
about $50 did get away. but 1 see no
reason why all should not have done the
same"
"What do you think of their SEN
tences?"
tine fine doesn't amount to anything
but it isn't right to keep men in Jail 30
days because of $50 fine"

1t seems that some time last year the
express agent at Danbury, Conn, re-
ceived from some town in the state an
old pair of shoes and up to last March they
had not been called for so a shoemaker in
the town half soled one of the shoes,
pasted his name on 1t and sent them to a
neighboring town where another shoe
maker soled the other shoe and sent the
pair on their way. They have no desti-
nation that anybody knows of and are
simply being sent from place to place by
baggage and express employees, and at
each place some unseemly article is adj
ded to the collection until the articles
now number something over one hun
dred.
Among them is clock from Philadel-
phia covered with newspaper clipping
telling the story, a rubber shoe, an old
backing box. tooth brush, an old cap,
battered silk hat, an enormous Grand
Army badge, a piece of shirt a half
eaten pretzel from St Louis and dozens
of other things that space forbids men

Sanders vest with the badge pinned on it

In the course of his wanderings he
dropped into the colOred disorderly joint

the woman grabbed SO bill from the

it to colored man there, who was after
wards found to be the equally notorious

The drummer reported the affair to the

However, with the minor exceptions, that
l was not requested to be present by the
board, was not present, had nothing
whatever to do with the canvass, and.
never knew anything about the results
until, like other people, l read the pub

cies, / do not object to, but when Mr..
Whaley to make point, goes out of the
road to openly suggest that l could be
made use of to manipulate fig
ures, which means no more or less
than a Justification of facts, he
does me such an mi ustice. that his care
lessness in the use of the truth, leads me
to suspicion his motive for this sudden
change in politics to be not from high
motives that should influence the patri-
otto citizen, but rather that after he had
lost his grip on the machine and its per-
quisites. station and emOluments, he is
now in search of field which to him

THE TRACK Is GONE.
Several Hundred Feet of Santa Fe Trac
is Torn Up.


is Torn Up.
The crisis has about been reached in
the river railroad situation at East Atchi-
son. 1t was found necessary last night to
act and several hundred feet of the
Santa Fe track has been torn up and five
hundred feet of the old road bed is in the
river.
A Santa Fe official who is directly con-
nected officially with the matter says that
the river is cutting more rapidly than
usual now. 1t cut eighty feet
today and that the Rock Island
road bed will be in the river
before tomorrow morning unless some
thing remarkable occurs. He further
says that if the present rate of cutting is
continued the water will be flowing east
of the bridge within a week leaving it
high and dry and that Atchison will then
have no railroad connection from east of
the river.
A prominent Rock Island official was
also asked about the matter and was in
clined to joke about it. "The Santa Fee
is an ungOdly road anyway" he said;

AS 1T Is.

a Washington correspondent writes
this week as follows.
Everybody knows that there are two
factions in the Democratic party in
New York, and everybody knows that
one of those factions recognizes Hill
as leader and that the other faction
recognizes Cleveland as leader. Just
now Hill. representing his faction, is
holding up appointments in the Sen
ate, that is, preventing their confrma-
ton. The President probably can see
no reason why he should keep pllIng
up nominations in the Senate till those
he has already sent in are confirmed
The fact that the Senate responds to
the crack Of Hills whip is injurious
and detrimental to the Democrats of
the country.
Hills object in holding up nomina-
tions is obvious. He does not want
anybody in Federal office In New York
who is not a friend and whom he can
not control. At the same time Dem
ocrats from every state in the Union
are barred from office because Hill
will not consent to the disposal of
nominations for New York. There are
several appointments ready for Iowa,
Missouri, Kansas, Idaho and through
out the West generally, but the Presi-
dent does not feel disposed to send
them to the Senate until that body
clears its dockets. Senators who are
with Hill, giving him aid and encour.
