He VIII BE Hero and the Envy of
the Small Boys on His Return.

Carl Russell, an eleven-year-old boy from
Upton, made an unintended trip to this city
yesterday afternoon on l.. E. & w.
freight train. Carl was playing with sew
eral other boys, around the empty freight
cars on a siding, near Upton, during the
afternoon, climbing in and on the cars as
boys wont to do. Carl had gone into
one of the cars to hide from his companions,
when one of them just for a joke closed
the door and locked it on the outside. The
rest of the boys than ran away seeming to
think that Carl would get out in some man.
ner or other. Shortly after they left,
local freight made connections with the
car in which the small boy was confined and
started to leave the station. Carl says he
then realized what was being done and
he began to call for help and to kick on
the door and side of the car. but the train
heard. He was very much frightened and
kicked on the car until he was exhausted
and fell to the floor. There he lay until
the train slowed up near the Belt railroad
in this city; He then aroused himself again
and by kicking on the door and screaming
he attracted the attention of some colored
boys who were playing near the track and
they opened the door. The boy had never
been out of Upton and he was naturally
very much frightened. He tearfully told his
they conducted him down town where he
explained his plight to officer Corrigan on
the corner of Washington and Pennsylvania
streets and was then conducted TO the
police station. The authorities telegraphed
to Upton to know what disposition should
be made of the boy and his father G. W.
Russell. carpenter of Upton, came down
and took his son home with him last night.

boy had been chastised by his stepraother,
and. being of a despendent nature, he de-
clared that he would kill himself, and then
carried out his threat.

III. Daggy, being the son OF a former hus-
band. With a brother the lad has always
had a home with Mrs. Daggy. 1t is stated
that the boy was Of a respondent nature,
and has several times spoken OF taking his

he declared that he would kill himself He

short time he was in such misery that AR

her Willie Miller confessed that he had
taken arsenic.
At his own home his stepparents had be-
come alarmed at his absence, and had tele-
phoned TO the police station that the boy
was missing. AS soon as Mrs. Woodbridge
learned tnat the boy mao taken poison she

cities of over twenty-five thousand inhabi-
tants. This. was voted down by hearty
majority of noes. Section was then
adopted with little opposition.
SECTION A KILLED.
Section had features that met strong op-
position. Mr.. Robinson said he moved,
through friendship to the bill. to strike
Section from the measure. This section
makes people who enter a saloon or come
from 1t during unlawful hours liable to
conviction. The fact that such person shall
be seen entering or coming out at prohib-
tied hours is to be considered prima facie
evidence. Mr.. Robinson explained that the
term "prima facie" in a statute partially
reversed the old priciple of law that
man is presumed to be innocent until he
is proven guilty. He insisted that the sec.
ton would be club in the hands OF
spiteful enemies. Mr. Mcintosh and others
held that the section would make the bill
unconstitutional. Mr.. Van Arsdel obtained
from them the admission that If the sec
ton was held to be unconstitutional the
rest of the bill would not be affected. Mr..
Statesman offered the most logical reason
for striking out the section by showing that
the conviction of saloon Keeper depends
upon the evidence largely of those to whom
he sells liquor. If purchasers are to be
held equally culpable they would avail Them
selves of their constitutional privilege and
refuse to give evidence that would 1ncrim-
mate themselves. Thus 1t would be impos-
sble to convict either saloonkeeper or Gus
because it would down the entire measure.
IT say this" he said. because l love the
bill. Mr.. Griffin had an amendment wip-
ing out the prima facie feature but 1t was
the last sentence of the section ana leave
the sentence making it unlawful Tor any
person, other than the proprietor, to enter
a saloon during the hours that are under
the ban. There was refusal 10 concur

Mr.. Robinson's was carried and Section
was dropped from the measure.
Section requires all blinds to be down
during the unlawful hours and makes an
offender or violater Of the law llapie TO
have his license revoked. Mr.. Holloway
had an amendment making yiolafer naoIe
cuts out that portion requiring par rooms
to be on the first floor or basement The
gentleman explained that this enabled CLUBS
to have bars. Immediately upon the reading
of the amendment the committee OF the
whole proceeded to rise and then the House
