An Unjust statement.

A veteran Vandalia railroad man. who
read in an evening paper of Wednesday
that the Vandalia main line was in such
physical condition when the Pennsylvania
Company took control of it that it vds TIT
safe to run trains over 1t, said yesterday
that 1t was very singular, If that WIS the
case, that for the last ten gears before the
Pennsylvania took control there was not
an accident in which a passenger was killed
or injured. and the trains were then
scheduled as fast. as now, and often ran
sixty-five to seventy miles an hour. Within
a year after the Pennsylvania Company
took control there was an accident In
which several were killed and injured;
"aThe fact is' said the speaker. "Celonel
Hill had brought that road from rough
riding unsaf road to be one of the smooth
est and best tme-making roads in the

able Colonel Hill to accomplish what he
did using from IS to 50 per cent or the

JAMES ID. GREEGOR's FRAUDS.
His Wife Sues Him for Divorce on Ac-
COunt of Them.

James 3. Greegor, the man who has been
falsely representing himself as a reporter
of the Journal, was sued yesterday by his
wife for divorce. She asked that her maid
en- name of Julia Brook be restored. She
alleges that Greegor has failed to provide
any means of support for her since their
marriage, last March and that he has
been guilty of many acts of fraud. Among
the fraudulent acts she names the renting
of a bicycle, which Greegor afterward
pawned as his own property. When Mrs.
Greesor learned of this she refused to live
with her husband any longer. The COM
plant then continues:
Plaintiff has also represented himself as
the duly authorized agent of the Indian
apoliS journal and indianapolis News and
upon such representation secured money
and other favors from the public all of
which was false. Plaintiff also states that
the defendant has obtained money from
divers persons by means of his false rep
reservations. and that by reason of these
1acts she has been usgraced. Plaintiff
states that the defendant will not work
nor will he engage in any honorable pur-
suit Tor the purpose OF obtaining a living"

Company. which furnished the gas. is also
made a defendant. The plaintiff alleges
that the explosion was caused by the rusty
and useless condition of the regulator that
was placed outside of the engine room by
the gas company. 1t Is alleged that when
the plaintiff turned on the gas I'm the usual
manner to light the fire under the boilers
the regulator failed to properly restrain
the flow OF gas and the gas rushed in with

PAPERS INCONSISTENT T.
Connecticut Election of "Na-
tional Interest Local
Affairs"

New York, Oct. e-The re-
suit of the elections in Florida
and Georgia is sorely disap-
pointing to the Mckinley man
ayers of this city. Senator
Quay had predicted "a close
fight" in Florida, and when the
democrats rolled up an increas-
ed majority there, he gave it
as his opinion that the demo
cratic majority in Georgia
would fall below 10000.
Failing to "call the turn in
either case, the senator has
subsidized.
The Mckinley organs are
floundering about hopelessly
in an effort to break the force
of the tidal wave in the South.
The SIM, commenting on the
election in Florida, asserts
dolefully that ut signifies moth
ing as an expression of en-
lightened and patriotic senti-
ment. We must look else
where for that, and the neces-
sity involves a reflection on
Florida, which it is painful to
contemplate
The Tribune and Press hint
darkly at fraud in Georgia,
while at the same time declar-
ing the election in that State
to be a local affair, without
National importance. "
The World and other Nc
Kinley newspapers dilate on
the local feature of the cleo
ton, and assert gravely the
absence Of National interest in
the contest.
The droll humor of this be-
comes apparent when it is re-
called that the same papers
only yesterday heralded the
returns from Connecticut,
where the republican vote was
! increased in the town elections
, as a harbinger Of republican
success in November in the
! Nation.

Quay is shrewd politician
and evidently is driving a loose
bargain with the orphans.

sorry plight, and that they

for salvation. and accept such
terms as the party managers
could offer. These terms might
not be Pheasant nor satisfactory

on high authority, that the

his opinion no power on earth
could now defeat Bryan. Bar

situation. which would be lille
short Of miracle, the Indiana
man said, the democrats would
carry Illinois and Indiana, and
very probably Wisconsin aud

doubtful. OF course, Mr.. Bynum
said. the election would turn on
the vote in these States, and If
Bryan carried Illinois and In
diana his election would be as
sured.
