SPEAKER CRISP.

Speaker Of the House, Hon. Chas.
r. Crisp, Of Georgia, stands the
peer of any statesman and Demo
crat in this country. The Atlanta
Constitution thus speaks of his
campaign work in Georgia, prior to
the late state election
Gone of the most conspicuous fig
ures in the recent state campaign
and one that attracted the most
attention was that of Speaker
Grip. Occupying one of the high
est and most responsible offices
within the gift Of the party Speak
err Crisp returned to his home anc
entered heartily into the campaign
in behalf of true Democratic prin
ciples.
Wherever his services were need
cd, or wherever his presence would
give timely encouragement, he
went--and he always went as a
Democrat. The speeches that he
made in the campaign were remark
able for their clearness Of state
ment and their enthusiasm in behalf
Of Democratic doctrine. He stood
by the platform and reafllrmed'on
every occasion the Importance OF
the Democratic policy OF restoring
silver to its old place as money of

81 per day. The receipt from the
income tax collected under the act
for July l 1862, and in effect for ten
years thereafter, amounted to over
$346. 900, 600. Large fortunes were
not so numerous then as they are
today and the revenue to be deriv-
ed from this tax now should exceed
$50, 900, 900 per annum. Imposing
4 tax on incomes is no innovation in
the laws of civilized countries. In
1898 Great Britain imposed an in
come tax and maintained it until
1916, when it was supplemented by
tariff taxes, which were repealed
1912 and the income tax re-enacted
through the convincing arguments
and able efforts of Sir Robert Peel.
Such 4 tax is collected in England
today on all incomes in excess of
$3.50, and it yielded revenue during
last year of $66, 500, 600.

ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBERY.
Four Unmasked Men Hold Upa Texas
Train in Midday,

WEATHERFoRD, TEXAS, Oct 49,
A report reached here this after
noon that the west bound passen-
ger train on the Texas and Pacific
railroad which left here at 1890
this morning was held up and rob-
bed by four men near Gordon about
30 miles west of here about noon.
The correspondent learned from
Mr. B. York, of Gordon, who
came in on the east bound train
this evening, that a point about
two miles this side of Gordon four
men, unmasked, approached the
section gang and forced them to OBJ
struct the road and flag the train
as it approached, and when the
train was stopped the bandits fore
ed the express messenger to open
the express car. They also forced
the section men to go into the car
with sledge hammer and try to
batter the combination off the ex-
press safe, but their efforts to open
safe were unfruitful. The messen-
gers way safe was battered open
and what money there was in it
was taken by the robbers. The
amount secured, it is estimated,
runs anywhere between $500 and
81, 900.
Tomorrow being pay day at Thur
Der for the large number of hands
that work at the mines there, there
was in the combination safe $780, 900
consigned to the Pacific Coal Com
pany with which to pay off the
hands.
Suspicious characters have been
seen the last month in that section
and the express company was pre-
pared for the attack, as they had
on the train one of their special
combination safes to which no ag
ent along the route knew the COM
bination. The express company
had a special man back in the coach
who knew the combination to the
safe and would come forward at
stations where he was needed and
open the safe,
The passengers and mail cars
were not molested by the robbers.
After the robbery was committed
the four robbers walked away tow
ards the mountains whistling, 60
ing in a southerly direction.
The Texas and Pacific Coal Com
pany, of Thurber, have offered $500
reward for the capture of the rob.
bers.

ductor ]. H. McCloud and the ex-

press car was occupied by Messen-
ger Marshall Day. There were no
shots fred during the robbery and
it is considered one of the boldest
train robberies recorded in this
country for a long time. 1t is
thought the robbers are from the
Indian Territory and are now or
their way back. Posses are out af-
ter them and there is some hope of
capturing them.

AN INHUMAN FATHER.
An Arkansas Farmer Ships Four Chill
dren Away Like Baggage.

The following story of an inhu-
man fathers actions comes from
Louisville Courier-Journal:
when the noon train came into
the Tenth street station yesterday,
and all the other passengers had
gone out the conductor appeared
on the platform leading four child
rem whose appearance attracted
much curiosity Their ages ranged
from two to eight years, the young
est being boys and the eldest a
a girl. On the arm of each was
tied a tag bearing the inscription:
Orphan Asylum, Louisville, Ky.
One of them carrieda small satchel,
on which was a card with the fol
lowing directions: Conductor will
find tickets in this satchel.
"The oldest child could not be in
duced to talk except in monsylla-
bles. A policeman was called at
the depot here, as every one seem
ed puzzled as to what should be
done. The policeman sent for the
No, 2 patrol wagon and the children
were taken to Wayfarers' Lodge.
The three baby boys wore the OLD
fashion union suits, with wide leg
trousers. The girl wore simple
country dress, but she, was well as
her brothers, was exceptionally
neat.
cat the lodge she was induced to
talk, and the following explanation
of the mystery was secured: Their
mother died year ago, leaving the
father to take care of them. He is
is farmer in Arkansas, somewhere
in the vicinity of Mulberry station.
She did not know why they were
sent away from home, her father
having said they would have a nice,
long ride on the cars and would find
a nice place here, where they would
have scores of little boys and gils to
play with.
''He then placed them on the
train and left for home. The tags
we're placed on them before arriv-
ut the depot, but was secreted in
the folds of their garments until
the train had been boarded. Each
one of them on arriving here was
found to have handkerchief with
a quarter tied in one corner. 1t is
supposed that the father did not
want to take care Of them after the
death of his wife, and he thought
if they were sent here with tags in
dicating that they were orphans
some charitable institution would
take charge Of them. The little
girl says her name was Lille Rem
fro"
Mulberry station is in Franklin
county, 14O miles northwest of Lit

TO LOOK AT HIS VICTIMS BODY.
HOW the Black Murderer of Col.
ored Girl Was Caught.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20, 1S94-The
dead body of Lena Gross, a comely col
ored girl, 25 years old, was found in the
woods near Washington City yesterday
She had been stabbed in the throat
and had been dead but a short time
when found. Her murderer had COW
cred her body with leaves and branches,
and evidently thought it would not be
discovered for some time.
The wind, however, blew the leaves
from her hands, her arms were out
stretched, and when two boys passed
the spot on their way to their rabbit
traps, they saw the upturned hands.
At first they were greatly frightened.
but after a few minutes they summon
ed up courage to brush away the leaves
that covered the woman's body. She
may have been alive at that time, for
one of the boys thinks he heard a moan
while they were standing there wonder
ing what to do.
AS If in Justification of the popular
superstition that murderer always has
to return to look at the body of his
victim, James l.. Travers. a colored
man with whom the murdered woman
had been living, arrived at the spot
just as the police got there and was
placed under arrest. He was found to
be- wearing three suits of clothes, evil

and bloody handkerchief was found
in his room.

BUFFALO, N. Y. Nov. 20. 1S94.-Dr.

''the walls or coats of the vessels were,
to the naked eye, softened and weakened
by dissipation and other causes, and
such a man, if he ran his head against a
door or any other object in a violent
manner would have suffered in the same
way as did Riordan when he dropped,
because of the light blow which Fitzsirn-
mons administered l have examined
many bodies of persons who died from

injury to the head. | examined sailor
