QUEER CONTRACT.
Lafe Pence and Ex-COngressman
HaineS the Parties.
It Was to Stay Out of Politics
Five Years.
FINDS IT HARD WORK.
Pence Says it Was Exceedingly
Difficult to Keep.
He is in Washington but Only
as a Spectator.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20-Lafe Pence
of Colorado, who came into congress on
the western Populist wave of 1892, and
who went out on the Republican tidal
wave of 1894, is in Washington. He
made something of a hit as a Populist
orator in the Fifty-third congress, but on
the expiration of his term, settled in New
York state where he engaged in business
with ex- Congressman Haines.
Mr.. Pence will remain in Washington
for some time as a locker on. To re-
porter he said: "Haines aud | made au
agreement 10 devote ourselves entirely
to business for five years. 1t is not al
ways the easiest thing in the world to
carry out an agreement such as HaIneS
and l made and now and then an occa-
sion arises in which we have to draw the
contract on each other.
''Some time ago Haines wanted to at
tend "a county convention, but l brought
out the contract and he had to keep away.
He stands ready TO draw it on me at any
suggestion on my part to mix up in pollt-
ical matters. This contract is a very
clear and binding one, and 1t was wit
messed by our wives, who are determined
to see that we do not forget it.
IF hadn't gone out of politics think
would soon nave trOuDle III keeping up
my life insurance, for politics meant too
little money and too much expense. l
am now working for the Pence family.
"When meeting was held to welcome
Amos Cummings in New York city, l at
first thought l could not attend aud it
was the funniest political meeting l ever
saw. In fact, it was not political at all,
and that was the reason l could attend it
without breaking my contract
"There were old soldiers, Republicans
and almost everybody except Democrats
there. 1t was simply an outbreak of evil
dence of Mr.. Cummings popularity. All
that was said at that meeting was about
Cummings and you could not tell from
the speeches whether Amos Cummings
WAS a Democrat or ii Republican"

SAW NO RED LIGHT.

Motorman ia the Cleveland Street Car
Disaster Testifies at the Inquest.
CLEVELAND, Nov 20.-The most i'm
portant witness examined today at the
coroner's inquest in the Central viaduct
horror was Augustus Rogers, the motor
man of the i'll fated car which plunged
into the river.
He testified that the conductor ran
ahead when the car stopped at the safety
switch and signalled him ''dll right" He
stated that the glass in the vesubule was
blurred by rain and that he did not dis
cover that the bridge was open until his
Car was within about thirty feet of the
gates
He then turned off the current, set the
brake and jumped, He testified that he
saw no red light and believed had there
been one displayed he would have seen
l.. He admitted that he had been mis-
led by the fact that the electric cutoff
provided by the street railway company
as "a safeguard was out of order.
Two other witnesses examined today
swore that the red light was display ed
over he gates when the Car struck them.

STRIKERS SHUT OFF LIGHT
House Smiths Wnn's Let Work Proceed on
ssegeI, Cooper s Co.'S Bafilins.

g. d
NEW YORK, Nov. 20-The delegates of
the house smiths aud bridgemans unions
are reported to have demanded that the
delegates of all the other unions call out
their men in all cases where union
house smiths were employed in the event
of being called upon to do so.
By the terms of the constitution of the
board, all or any of the delegates are
bound to join in sympathetic strike
wherever and whenever called upon by
one or more of their number.
In retaliation for these sympathetic
strikes. the iron league is said to be con-
templating a general lockout of all union
men employed by it's members. Such
action would throw 10000 men out of
employment,
The striking house smiths have caused
the electric lights 10 be cut off on sew
eral large jobs of J. B. and J. NJ. Cornell
and Miliken Bros, so that work cannot
be carried on at night The electric cur
rent was shut off on the immense build
ing of Siegel, Cooper & Co, at Sixth
avenue and Nineteenth street; the hotel
Waldorf annex at Fifth avenue and
34th streets, and two or three other
structures, because non union mon were
employed on them.
This was part of the plan mapped out
a: the beginning of the strike. The
strike managers also called on the hoist
ing engineers, the derrick men, the stone
cutters, aud the plasterers on several
buildings, and they dropped their tools
and quit work.

PUT ON THE TRACK.

A Flagman Beaten by FoOtpads Who
Place His Body Railroad Tracks.
ERIE, Pa, Nov. 20.-Four footpads at
tackled and robbed Flagman James r.
Bower of the Lake Shore & Michigon
Southern second section of No. 272
freight two miles eass of Erie last night
and almost succeeded in hiding their
crime with murder under the wheels of a
Lake Shore passenger train.
The deed was committed about the
same place that Conductor Frank Bar
rett was passing when he was shot two
weeks ago The footpads after beating
Bower into insensibility not only robbed
him of his pocket money and watch, but
stripped him of his clothes.
They then stretched him across the
main track over which the east bound
passenger train was due in half an hour.
and left him to his fate. Fortunately the
fagman's train was broken in two and
could not get out of the way of the ap-
proaching passenger train and it had to
take another track TO go around Bower
and his train.
But for that circumstance murder
would have been accomplished. Bower
was taken up almost dead with cold and
injuries and taken to his home in Collin
wood, o.
The tagman had left his months nav.

He started walking on the track in
rather fast walk, when suddenly his
right foot went through the cable slot
and almost instantly he felt sharp
twinge in his foot. He made a great
effort to get his foot out, but could
not. The pain became intense
and he cried out, but he says
the employees of the road, of whom there
were several about. made to attempt to
help him. Finally. almost fainting, he
got his foot out. 1t had been in contact
with the cable and a struggling piece of
wire. sticking out from it, which street

NO MORE CLUBS.
Chicago Policemen May Event
ually Do Away With Them.
They Are Going in a System OF
Athletic Training.
EXERCISE IN A GYM.
They Will Have Drills and Take
Boxing Lessons.
"COppers" Will Have to Answer
Questions on Hygiene.

CHICAGO, Nov 20-Chicago's police
men are to be trained athletes, and if the
plans of DR.. Joseph Hawley, medical
carries, they will soon be able TO com
pete physically with the trained bob
bies" of Scotland Yard.
Dr. Hawley has secured the consent
of both Mayor Swift and Chief Badenoch
of the police department to the intro
duction of a system of athletics and
drills in the department extensive in it's
scope aud calculated to make active,
athletic, brawny men out of officers.
The system is 10 be Introduced in the
next ten days in every police station in
Chicago, and within two weeks there
will be a we'll equipped gymnasium
provided for the exercise of the men.
DR.. Hawley will also distribute "a small
pamphlet on hygiene for policemen and
tiremen, and they will be questioned on
its contents at regular intervals.
The principal object of this is to re-
duce the enormous sick roll of the two
departments which is now a serious men
ace to their effectiveness. 1t will con-
tain all sorts OF rules for the proper care
of the body of men doing the kind of
work done by policemen and tremen.
The Chicago police department will
be the first to inaugurate such system.
The only thing that approaches it in any
way is the system in vogue in Scotland
Yard, London. Here the officers have a
trained boxer, who assists them in the de
velopment of their muscles.
Every man is an amateur boxer, and
this system mas proven so advantageous
the men have been able to do away al
together with clubs. which have for years
been the most deadly of weapons in the
hands of policemen with uncomfortable
temper5.
DR.. Hawley and others interested in
the plan for Chicago, hope to be able tc
accomplish the adjustment of clubs in
this city eventually,

moth Structure.


moth Structure.
J. Pierpont Morgan is one of the
greatest capitalists and fnanciers of
the time, but hitherto he has not cared
to dazzle the public by the splendor of
his home and the extravaganza of his
style of living as denizens of Newport
are fond of doing. The Morgans have
occasionally visited Newport, but have
evinced no desire to be known as
among the shining lights of that ultra
fashionable city. Hitherto Mr.. Nor
gan has been completely wrapped up in
his country place a. Highland Falls,
a pretty little hamlet on the Hudson.
and has taken great delight in going
to his business each day and returning
at night on his steam yacht Corsair.
Even the most intilL lye friends OF Mr..
Morgan have never supposed for one
moment that any indGcement could be
offered him to live il any place outside
OF Highland Falls or New York. But
it is now announced tbac he intends
building a handsome house at the great
Rhode Island resort which will prob
ably be the equal in elegance of any of
the costly summer r3S-dri4ces there.
Evidently Mr. Morgan and his family
cannot any ivnger resist the tenipta-
ton to be in the fashionable swim.

Abolish the State Live Stock Board En-
tireIy-AlwAys a Gettin'.
There is the biggest kind of a row
among the members of the state live
stock sanitary commission, and the
friends of Governor Morrill, think he
will yet be compelled to reorganize that
board.
Secretary ]. w. Moore was in Topeka
a few days ago and since he went away
it has been learned that at the last meet
ing of the board J. w. johnson was de-
posed from his office as Chairman
At the meeting of the board after the
regular business had been transacted
Secretary Moore criticised Chairman
Johnson's action in reporting TO Cover
nor Morrill, the fact that the railroads
had given the members of the board
passes and had caused them to lose their
mileage.
Mr. Moore and Mr.. Brown the Popu-
list member were also mad because they
were defeated in their fight to maintain
the two cent ins pection fee.
Just before the meeting closed Mr..
Moore made a motion declaring the
office of chairman vacant. Mr. Brown
seconded the motion aud they voted
Chairman johnson out of office. The
board then adjourned and it has no
chairman to call meeting.
The best thing to be done is to abolish
the board. They seem to be pack of
voracious cormorants at best.

COLORED KILLING.
Bailey Shoots Woman Who Was Livin

Bailey Shoots Woman Who Was Living
With Him and Kills HimseIf.
Maddened by a refusal of his offer of
marriage, George Bailey, colored, last
night shot Fanny Thompson, also COL

on himself sent a bullet crashing into
his own heart. He diedin few minutes,
but she will live
This tragedy occurred at 10 o'clock
near the Santa Fe anG Union Pacific rail
road tracks in North Topeka.
The shooting began at the Thompson
woman's home near the corner of Jeffer-
son and Fairehild streets. There she
lives with her two children. According g
to the woman's story she refused his
offer of marriage and this enraged him.
1t is understood that they had been living
together at her house, without being
married.
Bailey was a man 45 years old who
drove wagon for the Topeka Coal com
pany. He has not lived with his wife for
long time, and Fanny Thompson says
she told him she would marry him if he
got divorce from his wife, Instead of
doing this he spent his money for drink
and caroused around until the Thompson
woman concluded that she would not
marry him and she told him sc.
Are you never going TO marry me?''
he asked her last night
Never"
81 don't want to live without a wife
replied the colored mao as he began
| pacing the heor.s~Ass he walked his pas
| sion rose His steps became faster as
he worked himself into an insane frenzy
He finally whipped out revolver and
shot her several times, but not fatally.
He then walked out on the railroad tracks
and killed himself.

piece of letter paper. Much of the
spelling is incorrect.
The jury returned a verdict of suicide
