TRAMp'S WlNDFALL.
One of the Rhoadcs Family Leaves
Jail with IA Fistfui of Money.

New Brunswick, ~ j., Jan. 3.-George
Rhoades was confined in the Middle
sex county Jail for a long time as a
witness in the Farkos assault case.
Early in August of last year, while he
was sitting on the station platform at
NandeVenter's Crossing waiting for q
freight rain to come along and give him
ride, he saw the assault committed.
The MiddleseX county grand jury meets
only three times n year, and the case
went over to the December term.
Iihoades did not grumble at being kept
in Jail. He said that any thing was bet
ter than being turned loose in winter.
ON Wednesday last Rhoades was
called as a witness in the trial of Far
kos, and he materially helped the state.
y jury convicted Fargos, and he was
remanded to Jail for sentence. The
prosecutor then ordered the release Of
Rhoades, and yesterday afternoon the
jailer informed him that he was a free
man, and that there was a little pres
ent awaiting him in the sheriiT's office.
Rhoades did not understand at first,
and seemed to fear that some old COM
plant was about to be pressed against
him. Then Deputy Sheriff Wesner
handed him a roll of bills as thick as
his fist
"All this for me?" said Rhoades, as
he brushed back the hair from his
brow like the hero in a play, when the
dreadful looking man. with the false
beard comes 20 put the handouts on
him for the crime the villain accuses
him of. There is some mistake here.
| never had so much money in my life"
Then Mr.. Wesner explained that the
money was coming to him for his time
spent in Jail as a witness. You see"
explained Mr.. Wesner, "the county
pays witnesses so cents a day for every
day they are confined in Jail You have
been in 14S days, and you are entitled
to $74."
And don't my board or anything
come out Of this?" said Rhoades, still
unable to understand his good for
tune.
"Why, no." said Mr.. Wesner. That's
all yours, to do what you like with.
Now run along and start the new year
right"
You bet I'll start the new year
right" said he.
Last night there was a merrymakine
at a tramp lodging house in Nelson
street All the hoboes in the city had
heard of Rhoades' good luck. Every
few minutes Rhoades would pull out
his roll. take off another 2-dollar bill
and send out for more refreshment
This sort of thing kept up till mid
night. Rhoades was reminded of a
promise to use him money in starting
life anew.
ooh, that's all right, my friend" he
said. "On this day of feasting and
good cheer it is better to give than to
receive. After tonight I swear off"

Washington, Jan. 3.-When the sem
ate meets Tuesday morning after the
holiday recess it is quite likely that
the debate on matters pertaining to our
foreign relations and the position as
Sumed by Secretary Olney for the eX-
ecutive, will at once begin to take
shape. Whether Mr.. Cameron Will call
up the Cuban resolution on the open
ing day Of the session is not yet known,
for that senator has not returned to
the city, and the subject is entirely in
his hands. 1t is hardly thought that
he viii seek to force the issue on the
opening day, owing to the fact that
there is not likely to be a quorum of
the senate present.
During the morning hour, however,
under any guise that may be put for
ward the debate on the subject can be
commenced, hut it must give way to
the unfinished business az o'clock un-
less there are sufficient votes to as
place the oklahoma free homestead
bill with the more pressing question of
Cuba. The homestead bill, which is
championed by Mir. Pettigrcw, is not to
have smooth sailing. y strong minor
ity report by Mr.. Platt is TO be pre-
sented, ana that senator will lead the
opposition to the measure on the floor
of the senate.
Mr.. Hale, who is looked upon as the
leader of the auti-Cubau sentiment in
the senate, said yesterday that several
senators who had been heretofore silent
on the subject had come out against
the Cameron resolution and there was
now no possible chance for its passage.
on the other hand, MesSls. Cameron,
Lodge, Chandler, Morgan and Mills as
sert that the sentiment favoring ac-
tion by congress is becoming more Wig
Orous and that the fighting will be
forced from the start. Mr.. Hale, who,
in the absence of Mr.. Allison, is act
ing chairman of the committee on ap-
preparations. expects to have the army
bill reported to the senate Wednes-
day and this will be put forward to an
tagonize the Cuban proposition.
Two speeches are booked for the COM
ing week, one by Mr.. PETER, probably
Wednesday, on his resolution for the
appointment of national monetary
conference and another by Mr.. Proctor
on the joint resolutions providing for
the election of president and vice presi-
dent and senators by popular vote.
THE HOUSE FORECAST.
Just before the holiday recess the
house of representatives, upon the rec
ommendation of the committee on rules
arranged the business of the house for
the first week of the new year. on
Tuesday and Wednesday the Loud bill
to amend the postal laws so as to pro-
hibit the transmission in the mails OF
serial novel publications and sample
copies Of newspapers at the second
class rate will be the special order
Discussion under the general rule will
continue from Immediately after the
reading of the Journal on Tuesday un-
til 2 p. m, on Wednesday and under
the tiVeminute rule upon proposed
amendments until o'clock, when Vot-
ing will begin upon pending amend
ments and the final passage of the bill
When the bill was called up, rather UNI
