Some one then asked the Solomon of the

with string of blanks he ended by saying
that he would il he could.

register of Precinct 1, in the Forty-third
Assembly District. from the Registrars
office. He was asked TO turn to the book
and ascertain whether or not it ontained
an entry OF the name Of Louis Cohen.
Mr.. Cook objected and was overruled.
The witness stated there was such an en-
try. and, at the request of Mir. Clunie,
read II:

hair, black; occupation, DarKeeper; born in

The prosecution offered the precinct reg
lster In evidence and presented the sworn
afhdavlt OF Cohen to Witness de Dung
LOT examination. In answer to question
as TO what the paper was, witness said 1t
looked like an affidavit; it was on SINH
lar form. but he really could not tell
whether 1t was one or not. 1t was signed
by one Harrison, deputy in the Regis
trsr's office.
MIR. de Young displayed tendency at
tins point 10 become airy in his replies,
but was brought to with a round turn by
MIR. Nougues. He meekly explained then
that he had only sworn one man to an affi-
davit and really was not familiar with
those documents. In answer to question
as to whether or not Reg strar Evans had
not sent him up to testify for the very
reason he knew nothing about the affi-
davits, he said he had only been sent up to
take care of the book. There were forty
or more deputies in the Office who knew
more about affidavits than he did, but he
could not explain why Mr.. Evans had
failed to send one of them up.
The prosecution demanded that the

Wonderful are the experiences of
these wandering Willies. One member
was exceedingly well-spoken and had
evidently seen better days, and alleged
that he had practised as a most sue
cessful lawyer His prospects were of
the brightest, his rooms We're the rem
devious of all the young and gay spirits
of his circle and spirits became their
chief attraction-not ethereal, but sub
stantial spirits. He neglected his bust
ness-there was lady in the case-and
from $4,000 year he had descended to
a member of the chain gang of the city
of Scranton.
Another related that he had earned
his $l00 month as a mechanic and had
comfortable and snug little home
with wife whom he adored. She eloped
with u cousin-he went on the road.
Another who appeared a tough member
very candidly remarked that he had
never worked, but he did subsequently
and on the chain gang.
One pale, emaciated fellow, whose face
retained traces of refinement, attracted
the attention of the reporter. There
was an indefinable something about
him, albeit his nose resembled a wet
sunset, which indicated that at one
| time in his career he had deserved the
title gentleman.
J He was 1.-THE and tall, but pimply in

entered the house of well known citi-
zen, situated on the upper end Of Lin
den street, and intimated that he had
called for his breakfast. The lady Of
the house was of a charitable yet prac-
tical turn of mind and listened to
Weary Williams tale of woe. He had
not eaten for two days; could not get
any employment and was willing to
work off his finger ends to get a dry
crust for his children. The lady there
upon promised him a substantial
breakfast and q sum of money If he
would clean the stove. The tramp
stood aghast, and said nothing; the
lady threw down the brushes and told
him to set to work, when he made Il
record in the history of tramps and ac-
tually ran. Other instances could be
related to show that the only energy
they display Is at meal, they are al

basso-profundo on the hunks, which
were spread on the floor, some had to
be content with the concrete floor as
their downy couch, and some had wan
dered into the cells which happened to
be untenanted.
The majority alleged that they were
tramping from the lakes to New York
in search of employment, modest walk
of 500 miles. Others were well known
loafers in the city and were too lazy to
carry bunk on which to sleep, and by
some physical exertion were able to
fall down and stretch themselves on the
floor. Some OF the wanderers were hor-
rible specimens of unwashed humanity,
and one of the fraternity admitted that
four months ago he had had change of
linen, when he traded shirts with a
pard. He was the man probably who,
proud of his cleanliness, averred that
he always took bath once year
whether ne required 1t or not.

1t is a Haven of Tramps.

Scranton seems to be their haven of
refuge and, except when the chain
gang is organized, they manifest their
preference of the Electric City. Unduly
generous people of the city relieve
these fakirs and harm themselves and
the community. The question should
not be, How to relieve the tramps? but
How to keep them entirely out of the
city?
A visit to the police station will soon
put the matter at rest. The men
are the fllthiest aggregation of humani-
ty that can be found, and are spread
around the cells, where women prison
ers, and at times fairly respectable
citizens are sometimes compelled to
pass a night in company with these
parasite-carrylng wanderers The ques-
ton of supplying place of rest for
them should not be discussed, as they
are not in search of employment, but
merely bent on the prowl for anything
they can put their hands upon. The
number of honest tramps in search OF
work and without money to pay for a
lodging is so few that their visits would
be rare event. II. owen Charles.

SIX WE'RE KILLED.
Orders Disobeyed Cause a Terrible
o. Wreck.

Pittsburg, Nov. 1.-THE Baltimore
and Ohio Limited, coming west, ran
into the first section of fast cattle
train at Rosenstol siding. two miles
east Of lockwood, at $40 this evening.
Six men were killed: Henry Bush, en-
gineer, Simon Mccarthy, fireman,
Browning, engineer, Sam Manning,
fireman; two unknown men, either
mail clerks or express messengers.
Both trains were going at rate of
forty miles an hour, and came together
while rounding a curve. Neither crew
had time to jump or sound warning.
The meeting place of the trains was
Pine Grove, four or five miles east Of
the place of collision, where the passen-
ger should have taken a siding for
the freight. For some reason the pas
senger passed the siding.
The mail car was reduced to kindling
wood. Only the heavy vestibules Of the
passenger cars saved them from SIM
liar fate Fully a dozen cattle cara
were piled on the track, killing many
cattle. Bush was the oldest engineer
in the employ of the road.

Of yesterday, said:
my opinion can be briefly stated.
It is due in part to the financial depres-
sion which came upon the country soon
after the Inauguration of Mr.. Cleve-
land. While the Democrats were in no
way responsible for this, they were
made the scapegoats. 1t was also in
part due to the delay of congress in
passing the tariff bill. Had the bill
become law ninety days earlier than
1t did, 1t is possible that the business
of the country would have
so adjusted themselves that the po-
Iitcal result would have been differ
