A warning to Young Men.

The sad case of Mr.. Jesse johnson, the
son of q wealthy Mississippi cotton planter,
should be a warning to young men who are
thrown into companionnship OF elderly sim
gle women.
1t seems that Jesse, who Is now seeking
divorce. fell in love with a girl at home In
Mississippi but his father objected to the
match and sent him to school at Worcester,
Mass. When vacation came the old man
sent him to Asbury Park to keep him away
from his first love. At the park he met Miss
Mynel, of New York, an old maid, who was
many years his ssenior.
The youngster says that she hypnotized
him and they were married, the woman
paying the expenses. A few days after
the wedding the bride skipped out and the
deserted husband has not seen or heard OF
her since.
With this new danger confronting them,
the young mdn who visit summer resorts
should be on their guard. Just when they
least expect it, able females of mature
years may swoop down upon them, hypno-
tize them into marriage, carry them off
on a bridal trip and suddenly leave their
victims in q damaged condition a thousand
miles from home.-Atlanta Constitution.

PLEADS FOR The TROLLEY
Bishop Keane Says Its Removal

He writes a Letter to the COmmis-
sioners Urging the Retention of
the lexington System.

An important chapter in the trolley con.
troversy was added to-day. Vice Rector p.

sent letter to the Commissioners, which
was concu rred In by Bishop John ] Keane
pnotesting against the removal Of the poles
and. .xires-of the lexington and soldIeB'
Home road
"It seems to u.s." says the vice rector,
.that the public convenience does not
warrant Interference with our present
system Of street railway.
"The building of this road and the open.
ing of the university are contemporary
events, and their mutual interests were
in large measure bound up together from
the beginning.
''In October of the present year We hope
to open a new building for the benefit Of
a class of students who are not ecclesias-
tics. and who consequently will not live
in the university buildings, as the STU
dents tu divinity do. Many of them, no
doubt, win prefer TO live in the city, but
they will not travel three miles In horse
car to get the benefit of university
educa tiou.-s-.
''In view of the foregoing reasons and
many others, and of the fact that no real
Inconvenience or injury has resulted to
the public from the poles and wires on
New York avenue during the six or seven
years the road has been in opera ton, 1t Is
respectfully submitted that the present
mode Of conveyance be not interfered
with until the company can obtain from
Congress authority to issue bonds with
which to change its present system OF pro-
pulsion."

But In all sober Ssriousness the general
Impression prevailing here Is to the eff
feet that the silver. conference has not
only proven failure, but the very fact
of that failure fs in itself of the utmost
significance.
It is held to indicate that tho decadence

DEcaT 1F THE CRAZE.
Two montlA ana one week have elapsed
since the m8t anthusiastic and largely
attended silvsf c1nvcntion ever held, as
sembled at Springfield, NJ. and created
widespread cbnsternation in the ranks of
the two great SHticaI parties. Later
more meagerly attended and less enthusi-
astic gathering convened in Memphis and
attracted but little attention.
1t was thenIdetfrmined to give an object
lesson under tbe vary shade We Of the Treas
ury and within q half dozen blocks of
the Capitol building, so that those who
ran might read that there is a reality In the
demand for free, coinage.
In pursuance Of this conclusion Senators
Harris, Turpie. and Jones of Arkansas,
issued their call for select meeting of silver
Democrats. 1t was intended to include
none but live politicians Of influence and
prominence. They did not propose to
convert the Democratic party. to free silver
but to perfect plans by which defections
from the party might be prevented. It was
to be an ounce OF prevention rather than
q pound OF cure.
But the disappearance OF free silver SEN
timent. which began with the adjourning
OF the Illinois convention on June 8, has
continued without interruption or abate-
ment. Judging from the prospective out
come OF tho conference tomorrow, the
downward has been thorough, complete
and decisive.
And, to paraphrass great Caesars eu.
logy, where but tw o short months ago mul
titudes arose to honor free silver, now
none can be found 80 poor as to do 1t
reverence. =

New York, Aug. 13.-There was a lively
five minutes at the city hall station of
the Third Avenue Elevated Railroad short.
ly before 10 O'Clock this morning, when
an engine attached to five cars loaded
with passengers, got beyond control and
smashed into the bumpers at the end Of
the track. The passengers were piled up
in heaps in the different cars. A few
sailed through the air until they struck
cross seats, and when they did strike them
It was with such force as to tear the seats
loose. When the heaps OF humanity and
splinters had been separated it was found
that almost a dozen passengers were In
the immediate need Of medical assistance.
More than that number were injured, pos.
sibly two dozen in all, but they hurried
away before their names or the extent
OF their injuries could be learned.
