A Lone hoDber.

Cincinnati, O., Sept. 2S.-A special
from Charleston, w. Va, says: A dar-
ing hold-up occurred on the Short
Line railway between Sewall and
Clifftop, eight miles from this city
Saturday. Joe Thompson, who came
from the west about year ago,
learned that W. L. Wilson, bookkeep-
er and paymaster of the Longdale
Iron company at Clifftop, was going
up the road in the afternoon to pay
off the men. Wilson had $500 with
him, and rode on the engine. When
the train reached lonely spot in the
mountains Thompson, who had board
ed the train, held up all those
on the engine at the point of two re-
volvers. He grabbed the money from
Wilson and jumped from the engine.
Wilson shot at Thompson twice and
missed him. Thompson returned the
fire, shooting Wilson fatally. Thomp-
son made good his escape, and Wilson
is dying. A posse is in pursuit Of
Thompson and lynching is expected.

The solicitude OF some Democratic
organs for the welfare OF the Hon.
THOMAS b. REID is truly touching, but
it Is wasted. The man from Maine is rs
solid as ever he was. His political
fortunes have been in no way Injured by
his failure to secure the nomination for
the Presidency from his party at st.
ouis. On the contrary, il anything,
they have been improved, for the Re-
publican party is one that has long
memory and never fails in the end to
recognize and reward efficient service and
noble york.
Possibly little more shrewdness on the
part OF his managers at st. Louis might
have secured Mr.. REED q larger vote
than he received, though 1t is foolish to
think It would have secured him the
nomination. The fact is, the party had
decided TO name another OF its promi-
nent sons for the first Office in the land.
1t wanted Mckinley at the present
juncture and MCKINLEY 1t has got, and
that it was a splendid choice can be said
without detracting from the worth,
capability or desirability OF any other
candidate. Later on Mr.. REED may, and
the chances arc he will, be called upon to
serve as the Republican standard bearer.

OF his magnificent powers for years

himself or benefit to the nation, or to
take a still higher place in the national
cabinet which present conditions indicate

Bourgeois brains in the form OF books,
on each copy OF which the writer was to
receive certain royalty.
There came breach between author
and publisher, which looks as though
the former didn't think he was receiving
full value for his labors.
AT least ne asked M. Lemerro for per-
mission 10 examine the books OF the
latter's publishing house.
M. Lemerre declined TO permit such an
examination, on the ground that ~.
Bourget had been paid every franc that
was due him.
Then the courts were invoked by n.
Bourget. He didn't question the truth
OF the publishers statement that the
royalties mad been paid In full, but he
contended that as he was to a certain ex-
tent partner, so far as the profits on his
own work were concerned, he should have
access 10 the accounts relating to them.
And the court sustained his view.
1t would have been very surprising, in
deed, If an adverse decision were rem
dered, for then the author would have TO
accept whatever the publisher saw fit to
give HIM, and would have no means Of
knowing whether that sum represented
his fair share under the agreement or
something considerably less
have read OF cases, however, where
American publishers have rewarded
writers by voluntarily giving them sums
twice as large as were due them under he
contract.
This was in cases where books had
proven unexpectedly popular, and the
publishers being just men shared tho
larger profits with the producer, instead
OF keeping il all for themselves.
The reading OF dispatch from Mil
waukee TO the effect that the City Council
of that city has peremptorily ordered the
street car companies TO reduce the fare
to four cents, recalls the fact that out
Two or three occasions passed ordinances
requiring cars TO be equipped with lend
ers within certain specified time.
The period of grace has long since ex-
pired and the car fender has not yet been
attached. This shows that City Councils
sometimes make the mistake of thinking
they can run the business of corporations
better than the corporations themselves.
And that is a mistake.
No doubt the car fender is coming, but
1t will come only when the street car
company has found one that will render
efficient service and be something more
than mere make shift TO meet the re-
quirement of hasty ana ill-considered ac-
tion on the part OF municipal legislators.

THAT SILVER BOLT.

That appeal TO tho country, made by
the silverites who bolted the st. Louis
convention, is weak in the extreme, and
will fall utterly in its purpose to make
recruits for the ranks of the dsgruntled
ones. Mr.. TELLER and his friends, by
inference, at lesst, strive to show that
the overwhelming majority for sound
money did the bolting, but that sort OF
argument will not delude or deceive the
people. The fact is Mr.. TELLER and his
friends tried the impossible feat OF max
ing the tail wag the dog, and when they
found they had failed went off in des-
pair and rage.
Nor was their departure very digniied.
1t was not even dramatic, as it had been
planned to be, because no one concerned
in it is u prominent figure in the eyes OF
the nation. Mr.. TELLER, the leader of
the movement, has for some years been
conspicuous, simply as the chief spokes-
man OF the silverites. He has been, In
fact, the representative in Congress OF the
silver camps, and has long planned the
picayune revolt which he led the other
day at st. Louis. IL any one imagnes
for moment that this revolt seriously
threatens the success OF the Republican
party in November next, let him examine
the figures aud ho will have no further
fears on that score.
There were los delegates who voted
for the Teller free silver plank, and yet
when the moment came for the long
threatened bolt, less than quarter OF
that number followed their leader out
of the convention hall. Delegations from
two states only left in a body--those from
Colorado and Idaho. And how import
ant those states are in Presidential con
test may be gathered from the fact that
tney nave only seven votes In the electo-
raj college. Moreover, neither one OF
them gave a Republican majority four
years ago, so that in that quarter the
party is in no danger OF losing much at
the next election. There were boilers
from other States, from Montana, South
Dakota, Utah and Nevada, numbering
all told eight, while eighteen delegates
from those same states refused to bolt
when the silver plank was voted down.
A little exam nation, therefore, shows
that Mr.. TEILER's bolt Is OF inrnitesi.

Three Move Boys Gathered In by Bay

I'm which a large tract of land was
burned over, and nearly 100 cords OF
wood, cut and ready for the market
was destroyed. Peach was arrest ed
after an investigation. but was acquit.
ted in court. The flre marshal, however
had reasons TO think Peach was the
boy, and after much shrewd questioning
he admitted he set the fires.

David Scott of Westminster, which were
