ON A SCALPED TICKET.
Test Case Made by the South.
ern Pacific Railroad
Company.
Richard H. Collier, Insurance Solicitor
Arrested for Falsely Personal ting
Another.

The Southern Pacific Company has ap-
parently decided to criminally prosecute
all passengers found travelling on tickets
purchased from scaIpers. The first case of
the kind was called in Judge Conlan's
court yesterday morning, but was con-
tinued till Wednesday next.
The defendant is Richard III. Collier,
solicitor for the New York Life Insurance
Company in this City. He was arrested on
Friday and was released on giving $3.50
cash bail The charge against him is
falsely personating another.
The complaining witness is II. c. Hub
bard, conductor of the Southern Pacific,
whose particular business it is to capture
'scalpeo" tickets used on the company's
lines. He alleges in his complaint. which
is an elaborate document containing
Photographic portions of the ticket used
by Collier, that on July 8 last Collier pre-
sented a tourist passenger ticket issued by
the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad to
William III. McPhee, to George w. Lipp-
man, q ticket agent of the Southern Pacific,
and represented himself as McPhee, sign
ing McPhee's name to the ticket. The
particular Journey Collier was to take was
from San Francisco to Reno, New. Collier
TOut Will Tic LlChtI dS ltI do L Olt SOStu,
when Hubbard seized it, as the signature
did not agree with the one previously
signed on the ticket Collier thereupon
purchased ful-fare ticket to Reno and
proceeded on his journey.
When Hubbard forwarded the ticket and
his report of the facts TO headquarters the
railroad officials decided to prosecute Col
lier, and the case was turned over to the
law department. When everything was
ready a warrant was sworn out for Col
lier's arrest, but he could not be found. 1t
was learned that he had gone East, and
the company decided to keep the matter
quiet till his return. Hubbard ascertalned
on Friday that he had returned, and he
was arrested at the insurance companys
office.
As this is test case the railroad COM
pany is determined, if necessary, to take it
to the highest court. and the result will be
watched with interest by all the local rail-
road men and travelling public.

"Since 1 have brought you only such mis-
deal unkindly with you. Now will send
my brother, Death. II may be that he Will
bring you happiness"
The man turned to take last look at
the fair woman, Life, but 10! she was
already gone, and in her place stood
masculine figure, stern of visage.
And the figure said, Il am Death"
"Thou art very welcome, Death, SAID the
man, and held out his hand.
And Death laid an icy hand in the hand
of the man, and the two looked in each
others eyes. The man shivered; he felt
afraid.
perhaps, perhaps Life, after ALL" he
said, and dried to withdraw his hand.
But Death held him firmly and laid an
so that the iciness of it seemed to freeze
his brain, and he lay back in his chair,
lifeless.
Then it was with the man as once when
he was i'll of fever. He seemed to him.
self to have come out of his body; and he
was very small. He grew smaller and
smaller, until he felt himself tiny speck;
and the room was vast space, the
mere immensity of which weighed upon
him and terrified him. He knew that his
body sat there in the chair, but ne
crouched in corner of the room. Ana
oh, he was smaller than the smallest atom
of dust beside him, yet he was alive; ms
soul was throbbing with life. SO many
emotions he had; strange, new emotions,
ard old ones that he had felt years ago
and forgotten. Now they returned to
him and tortured him because he could
not give them utterance or expression.
This, then, was death. He had looked
forward to it as great change that must
be for the better; and after all, 1t was only
dumb life.
How he longed for a tongue, that he
| might speak; for hand to move; for even
an eye, that he might somehow express
the slightest part of what he felt. The
great world around him thrilled with life;
his soul thrilled with the same life; and no
means of expression.
There was his body IN the chair, lifeless,
inert. If he could but regain possession
of it He had despised that body; had
affronted gracious Life herself. And now
he had found He'll. Not In some subter-
ranean depth, filled with flame and phys
ical torment; but there, in the corner OF
the room, where he must lie, perhaps for
ever incapable of motion. incapable even
of thought; only conscious OF intense
feeling.
X
A sudden rush of confusion, as if earth
and heaven and hell had been swept from
their foundations and mingled in chaos.
Once more the man sat in front of the
fireplace, holding his hands above little
heap of burned-out cinders. He looked
around him. He rose and stretched his
limbs He opened his lips; for moment
no sound came. Then his voice rang out,
clear and strong:
81 thank thee, o Life, that thou hast
not altogether departed from me. And
though thou shouldst forever withhold
from me all good gifts except this wonder
full human body, yet will | bless thee. "

"GIVE THANKS? And FOR WHAT"

1t was the night of Thanksgiving day.
A man sat alone in a dingy, scantily fur
nished room. With grudging hands he
placed few small pieces of coal upon
smoldering fire; then covered over the
CRATE, holding both hands above the fee
bic flame, as if anxious to prevent any
heat from escaping up the chimney.
l said that the man sat alone in the
room, but suddenly he was not alone. A
tall fair woman stood beside him and laid
her hand upon his arm. He turned his
sullen gaze from the fire and said curtly:
"Well, what is it you want?"
"This is Thanksgiving day." said the
fair woman. II have been waiting to re-
ceive your thanks"
Thanks? have much to be thankful
for. Who are you that you expect to be
thanked ?"
Il am Life" said the woman, mildly.
"You are Life, are you ?" cried the man.
"You are Life, and expect thanks from me.
Pray, what have you ever given me but
hunger and WEAKNESS, sickness and sor-
row? Are they things to be thankful for ?"
Have l brought you no good thing at
ALP" asked Life, sadly
mot one, l swear. A dreary and love
less childhood; an eager, unsatisfied
youth; sordid and hopeless manhood.
Shall thank you for these?"
But you have genius" said Life 1.-THE
genius and aspirations of the artist"
Have II" queried the man, bitterly.
"Well, perhaps l have. / used to think
so. But you, Life, are killing them out of
me by inches. You have made me
newer of wood and drawer of water.
My genius must be allowed to die while
do the bidding of men who have none.
Why, shall be more at my ease when my
aspirations are altogether dead, for they
trouble me now; they are burden, and
yet may not bury them"
Then Life spoke very softly. "At
least" she said, ''at least l have given you
great love-"
The man turned on her fiercely.
Love? Do you count that a blessing?
tell you it is curse. Yes, even though
the woman 1 love has given her love to
me. For what can the end be? Shall l
ask her to share my poverty2 Shall l
bring her beauty into this dingy room,
and watch it fade and wither for want of
Joy, as flower fades and withers for lack
OF sunshine? l tell you, such hopeless
love as mine Is not blessing, but a curse"
This burst of anger over the mans head
dropped. Again he glowered at the fire.
Llfes voice was very sad as she said:

Daniel Fo1ex,s Property.

The case of Mrs. Mary Foley against Daniel
T. Foley for alimony came up yesterday in De-
partment of the Superior Court. Mrs. Foley
is looking for some of Foley's property. Secre-
pany was present to tell of the box which
Foley had rented from that company. The
box was ordered to be opened, but as Mr.
Adams was reluctant to do so he was allowed
until tomorrow morning to consult with his
attorneys. Representatives from the German
Savings Bank were also present to testify that
Foley had an account of 800, 700 at the bank,
