The pensions and indemnities against
accidents which are paid by the man
agement OF the Prussisn state railways,
as provided by law, are comprised in
the two following cases: First. In
case of an. accident resulting in an in
capacity to work, the victim is provided
with the necessary medicine and msdi-
cal attendance free of charge, and insur-
ancs equivalent to two-thirds OF his
usual wages is paid to him. During the
first three weeks this expense is charged
to the sick fund, which 10 supported by
a tax of per cent of the wages OF the
men, of which per cent is paid by the
men themselves and tho remainder by
company. II the incapacity to work is
only partial, the pension 10 reduced to
correspond with what the man can earn
by his own labor. Second. In the case
OF death the widow OF the employee Ia
allowed a pension equal to 20 per cent
of the wages OF her husband. and to
each of the children until the age of 15
years is reached, pension amounting
to 10 per cent ia given, provided the
mother still lives, and 20 per cent if she
10 not living. Finally, parents also re-
ceive an income equal to 20 per cent OF
the wages in case he was their only
support. Taken all in all, these PEN
sions cannot exceed go per cent of the
wages OF the workman.
In 1892 the number of workmen and
employees on the Prussisn state railway
who paid their premiums in order to
take advantage OF thie law, was 1888, 958,
about equally divided between the oper-
alive department and workmeu in shops.

HE HAD A GOOD NAME.
YOUNG CRAYNE OF PIXLEY IN
THE UNITED STATES COURT.
Tried for Receiving Stolen Postage
Stamps, tho Jury Finds HIM Not
Guilty-Judes Ross Compile
ments the Boy.

d. E. Crayne, young man who has
the reddest hair seen in Judge Ross
court room for many long day, WAS
tried yesterday on a charge OF receiving
stolen postage stamps. knowing them to
be stolen.
Owing to the acquittal OF the young
men the case becomes an interesting
one.
He is resident OF Pixley. and last
March the postofice there was robbed Of
Sl06.l7 in postage stamps by some one
who broke into the Office the night OF
March 10 by back window.
The postmistress was Mrs. M. Day ton
who discovered her loss the next morn
ing. The search for the burglar re-
suited in the arrest OF q youth named
Doke, who has since confessed his guilt.
Doke, however, implicated young
Crayne in the burglary, and he, too, was
arrested. Crayne has borne = very
good reputation as an honest ard hard
working young men and it stood him in
good stead yesterday.
1t was easily proven that Doke Sc
cured the stamps and purchased fire.
arms and other things in San Francisco
with some of them; also that Crane
wrote the letters ordering the goods,
signing the name OF Pierce to them, and
received some OF them. Doke claimed
Crane knew about the burglary
and that he shared the spoils with
Crane. This the latter denied and it
became a matter Of evidence whether or
not the husky young section hand had
guilty knowledge of the burglary.
The defendant was represented by w.
T. Williams aud the government by the
district attorney, Mr.. Dsnis. 1t did not
take long to empanel jury.
Mrs. N. Dayton, the postmistress OF
Pixley. was the first witness. and tssti-
fed that she had lived there four years.
She has been postmstress there for that
time. On the morning OF the goth OF
March last she found her money order
blanks and stemps gone. The postofics
was in store building and the stamps
in an iron boz.
There were taken stamps worth
$l06 II and money order blanks num-
bered from $40 to 800, also a money
order for $50 which had been paid but
not Cancelled. The iron box was open,
the window yes closed, but the nail
That held it fast was on the floor. There
we're other windows, but they were fast
ened on the inside and had not been
opened. The witness knew the defend
ant. and he lived about quarter of q
mile from the posioffice. He had been
working as q section hand on the rail-
road. Back OF the building there were
footprints.
J. G. Doke. the burglar, 10 IS years
I'D, and has very old-looking face. He
gave his testimony in an indifferent
manner and quite glibIy. He said: II
live at Pixlsy, and am the same person
charged with breaking into the postoffice.

On cross. examination Doke stuck to
his story.
The prosecution then introduced W.
J, Golcher, Geo, w. Shreve and Samuel
Platt. merchants OF San Francisco in the
guns and sporting goods line. They
identified the orders written by Crane
for Doke, and he in fact did not dispute
that he wrote them.
When it came to the defense several
character witnesses were put on the
stand and gave the young man good
reputation. They spoke of him in the
highest terms.
The defendant then took the stand.
He had u good appearance and good
manner In tsstifying. He admitted
writing the orders for Doke and rsceiv.
ing some of the goods. which he said
Doke gave him. He said Doke told
him he had received the stamps in pay
ment for some things he had sold, and
that he wanted to buy the guns for q
man to take up in the mountains and
shoot bear and deer with them. Ths
defendant had no idea but that the en-.
tire transaction was regular, and when
Doke said he could not write very well,
and asked him to write for him, he
did 80. He denied telling Doke to rob
the postofiice.
The arguments in the case we're not
very long, and in charging the jury
Judge Ross said that the manner OF the
defendant was not the manner of q
guilty person.
After being out until 4 80 O'Clock the
Jury was called in and had not been
able to agree. One of the Jurors asked
the court what the law was with refer
enee to the knowledge of tho defendant
that the goods were stolen. The court
informed them that ii the defendant re.
ceived the stamps knowing them to be
stolen the jury should convict him; ii
not. they ahould acquit.
After being out 15 minutes longer
they agreed upon q verdict OF not guilty,
and the defendant was discharged. He
had some staunch friends from Pixley,
and they seemed very much pleased
over the result, some bstraying great
emotion.

Senator Cameron's Poker Games.

Senator Cameron's Poker Games.
Mr.. Cameron, who is SO serious
and unapproachable at almost all
times in public, is one of the gayest
of men in the private circles of his
own choosing, and his house has
been the scene Of some of the
ivelicst poker playing known in
Washington. He is also one of the
senatorial circle which meets at a
private hotel there and plays stiff
game two or three times a week.
One or two men in the game are too
poor to play poker. Butler, of
South Carolina, is one of those poor
poker players-poor in more senses
than one. Vest, of Missouri, who is
one of the iiveliest of the boys when
on senatorial spree and one of
the most grabbed and disagreeable
of men at all other times, is another
of the poker crowd. Vest lived for
many years in a little frame cottage
on Capital Hill. with the sergeant
alarms Of the senate, and he was
SO poor he said that he could not af-
ford to keep house in Washington.
But Vest could not afford to play
$50 limit and lose. Cameron has
always had more money than he
could spend. Of course he could
not give money to his friends, Vest
and Butler; but, with his knowledge
of the stock market (second only to
that of Senator Quay) he could
give them points Of value and put
them into deals which he knew
would be profitable. The result
was to make good the money these
men had lost at poker and to keep
them in the game. And as Vest is
good story teller and Butler al
ways jovial companion, Mr.. Cam
eron found his reward in their
society.-Titusville (Pa. Herald.
