Serious Charges Made
Against Brakemen.
When Ride Stealers Do Not
Pay They are Thrown Off.
The Officials of the Consolidated
Road Deny the Charges.

New Haven. Oct. IAN ugly rumor
has been reported to the police. in effect
that some of the freight brakemen on
the Consolidated road are in the habit of
extorting money from tramps who steal
rides, and forclbly ejecting them IL IL ia

serted In some quarters that the many
bodies that have been discovered along
the tracks OF the road OF late, supposed
to have fallen from a passing train"
were undoubtedly due to .hese men hav-
ing been pushed of.
The story has been given some
credence. from the discovery OF the body
OF John Chatfield along the tracks Of the
Consolidated road, and the statement
made by man who'was his companion.
that he had probably been pushed of
the train and killed, together with the
recent arrest Of Edward j. Dean. q
brakeman. for shooting at some men
who were stealing a ride.
Policeman O'Hearn. who was detailed
to investigate the shooting affair. for
which Dean Is under arrest, was told by

money. and when the tramp replied no
did not have any. the brakeman started
at him. but he jumped down on the side
step and held on with his hands. This
brought his head little above the plat
form, and the brakeman deliberately
raised his foot and dashed IL into the
mans face. He fell Off. and the next day,
the man said, he read of a body being
picked up along the tracks. supposed
to have fallen from passing train"
To a newspaper representative, who
saw superintendent Waterbury, whe
has charge OF the Shore Line division,
on which the fatalities are said to have
occurred, he stated that the story was
"a confounded lie. made out OF whole
cloth. The trainmen were assailed, shot
at and dubbed by tramps. The con-
ductors have ORDERS" he said, when
tramps are discovered. to stop the train.

times within one week. and a brake.

Richard Parks Bland, substitute
jawsmith, stood upon the platform
of a railway car yesterday at AL
toona, Pa, and told some untruths
to the horny handed sons of toll who
had trooped down to the station to
stare at young Mr.. Bryan. One of
the fibs, says the Telegram, uttered
by ''Silver Dick was contained in
the statement that under the none
tary system advocated by him the
laboring people of the country would
@'have plenty of work and not be
compelled to tramp for work" Just
how such desirable state of affairs
would be brought about by the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to l was not ex
planned, but the bare assertion was
of itself sufficient to provoke great
applause and loud cheers
Before this campaign is over the
worklngmen of Altoona will proba-
bly, be convinced that they applauded
the rankest kind of demagogy.
When the other side of the case is
fairly presented to them they may
wonier how they could have been so
foolish as to approve a statement
that was a direct slap at the face OF
fact and recent experience. They
viii be made to realize that free sill
Ve= coinage, instead of stimulating
the demand for labor, would throttle
the life out of it.
Three years ago those men of AL
toona saw finance, commerce and in
dnstry violently disturbed by fear
that the government would not be
able TO maintain gold payments and
that cur currency would descend to
a silver basis. They saw banks fail
ing, great commercial houses unable
to meet their obligations, credit Sc
rionsly impaired, the operations of
industry interrupted, mills and fac
tories closed and tens of thousands
of laborers thrown out of employ
ment. All that panic and distress
was caused by mere doubt as to
