LEXOw POLICE INVESTIGATION.
A Witness Who Came Very Near Per-
Jury.

NEW YORK. June 29-Great interest was
manifested in today's session Of the Lexow
committee, as the investigation will proba-
bly, be adjourned for the heated term at the
close of today's sitting.
Tie first witness called was George Vel
machen, a push cart peddler. He required
the services Of an interpreter. and his ex-
animation proceeded slowly.
The witness said, through his interpreter,
that he paid SIS a month to a wardman
for the privilege of keeping his cart at the
corner of Broadway and Barclay streets.
Before he paid he used to have to keep
on the move all the while, although the law
allowed push carts to remain five minutes
in each place. He used to go to the sta
ton house and pay Wardman Wilson.
The witness said that the wardman
charged more for that corner than for
side streets. When the witness added a
chestnut stand to the push cart he had to
pay IS a month extra. The Italian boot
black at the station house sometimes made
collections from push-cart men. The ward
man gave those who paid little book. in
which was the date the next payments
should be made.
Patrick Ryan, owenr Of several packing
box factories. was asked II he was trou-
bled by the police. and answered:
"A great deal"
And do you pay?" asked Mr.. Gofr
NO. sir. 1 fight my battles in court" he
answered
Then Mr.. Gofr sprung a surprise He
showed the witness his own check book,
which he had brought under subpoena.
Raising his voice. Mr. Golf said: Here
Is an entry at the date November r. 1892,
and reads, Paid captain of police 800
The witness looked painfully surprised
Its In black and white. sure enough" he
gasped.
Yes, it's there in black and white" re-
peated Mr. Gof. did you write that
check"
mo, think a clerk named OConner did"
Let me refresh your memory again"
said MIR. GoH. Here Is a stub dated July
-. 1s93 and reading. Mr.. Kelly for police
money"
Instead Of looking crestfallen, the witness
burst out into a loud laugh.
Chairman Low raped sternly for order
and said: This Is no laughing matter. 1t
appears II You have committed perjury"
Then the witness looked very solemn. He
was given in charge of the sergeant-at-arms
and sent to his place of business to get his
return vouchers.
II is expected that by this witness vouch-
ers, which will be produced, tbe pre-
cincts or the wardsman will be implicated.

THE RAILROAD STRIKE.
ORcials Here Have No Additional
News Today,

Up TO a late hour this afternoon the
Post Office Department had received no
additional news from the great strike.
The division superintendent at Chicago
has been requested by the authorities here
to send on all Information possible. especial
ly as to the likelihood for the commission of
overt acts. such as interfering with mail
trains. etc. II the information of overt
acts by the strikers is received, II will be at
once sent to the Attorney General, By
whose direction the district attorney at
Chicago will proceed against the strikers.
A prominent post Office official thus ex-
planned the relations which exist between
the department and the railroad companies
In the matter Of mail transporta ton: The
government can only require railroad com
panies to carry mail when a complete mail
train Is run. as the government has the
right TO use certain portion Of existing
railroad service for mail transportation
The railroads do not contract to run a spe
cial mail service any more than they con
tract to perform any special service for pas
sengers. There are a few cases where the
government pays for special train service
and this Is on but one or two trunk lines,

On, Robert. in our hours OF ease
Butt OF those outworn pleasantries,
Not less with pride thy praise we hear
Hymned in another hemisphere
When Bayard, chivalrously graphic,
Tells how you regulate the traffic.
Firm as a statue on its plinth
Midst the Nertiginous labyrinth
OF circus, street and bridge you stand,
And rule the storm with calm, unarmed
hand .-'
Rarely our soldiers of the law
DO Thcmis awful truncheOn draw,
Their OrphiC whistle subdue can
All save the crew of Hooigan.
Though western Jonathan prefer
a force NOT vaiuly claviger,
Yet Bayard, taught in English ways,
That suaver regiment must praise
That trusts to moral weight and nerve
And keeps the bludgeon in reserve.
otalwart and patient midst the strife
OF all our secthing city life.
When pageanls twice or thrice year
Throw the whole Empire out of gear.
Then, stOlid symbol OF good sense,
wonder worker. sans pretcnce,
Fulfil st authorty's DEGREES,
With thy familiar stand back, please p
And rather by that sober charm
Than blythe might of brawny arm,
The many-headed own thy sway;
They laugh, they jostle and obey.
Worthy thy deeds of loftier rhyme,
Than topic song of pantomime.
Not quite sublime. but on the border,
Type Of our British law and order,
Thy figure shall be graved upon
The frieze Of some new rnrthenon,
Wherein by glyphic art portrayal
Reigns the ideal parlor-rnaid.
Thy dauntless souls domestic lure
Trim, natty, roguish and demure,
Waiting the ages unborn layard
To illustrate the praise of Bayard.

The ladies Of fashion who have been
wasting breath descanting upon and
Their time running after many absurd
fads have struck a new one which prom
iseS to draw forth large fund of homely
good sense if carried out as begun. The
thing now is Mother Goose Clubs, the
object of which is to take these rhymes of
childhood memory aud draw from them
their hidden philosophy of human life
and experience. The West End, Boston,
ladies have taken to the study of
"Mothcr Goose" with All avidity which
will make a more lasting impression
than their often senseless commeuts
upon Browning and Ibsen. The enter
talnment consists in the taking of Que Of
these rhymes 50 familiar to the English
speaking race, by the hostess or the
guest aud drawing from it the practical
application Of the story or smile OF the
verse. The clubs have already become
very popular and are likely to be tic
rage for the coming season at least.
