the Glass city.
Ealf a dozen tramps stealing a ride
on a westbodnd freight train on the
Baltimore 6 Ohio, Saturday night held
up three young window glass workers
who entered the same car to steal n
ride 20 Barnesville, The three young
fellows were Dick Kaine and Ben Dun
lap, OF this city, and Elmer Colvln, Of
GAINESVILLE. After the train got under
u full head OF steam and was about four
miles west of town, the three chaps
named were surprised TO have the half
dozen tramps stir from the end Of the
car and with a revolver pointed at them
came the command to throw up their
hands, The boys obeyed and the
tramps went through their clothes, but
only got one dollar for their trouble.
They were mad at the small haul they
made; they commanded the boys 10 get
off the train, Dick Kaine swung down
and dropped off all right. Dunlap fol-
lowed with equal success, but ColYiR
hesitated because the train was going
very fast, and the tramps kicked HIM
off. He was not dangerously hurt, but
was bruised considerably, The crew
knew nothing about the row until later
and then word was sent along the line
both ways, The six tramps were caught
at Cambridge and the marshal came
| down here in the evening to have the
parties Identify them. Marshal Bahra,
Baltimore g. Ohio officer John Burke,
and the three men named went Ia Cam
| bridge and fully identified one OF the
| tramps, but the others had been cute
and pulled their hats over their faces,
and they were not positively identified.
Dnt one of them Is sure 10 take a trip.
| It Is beginning Ia he understood that
| somebody Is putting w some money for
the Democratic legislative ticket. Some
body Is paying the expenses and an et-
fort Is being made to bolster up hope
of winning In order to get more money.
But, in county like Belmont, 1t re-
quires more coinage than Judgment to
build a Democratic hope upon. They
were In the best fettle last fall they ever
were and believed they could win, but
| old reliable Belmont showed them under
more than that. In 1893, with a short
vote the county gave 1876 and In 1895,
with another short vote. It was ISIS.
The Republicans are voting these later
years and they'll be at the polls this
fall, while many a Democrat voted his
| ticket under protest last fall and they
wifi be glad TO see the party beaten
again this year because good times
have come without any disturbance to
business interests.
There are eIghty-three legislative dis
tricts in Ohio, In five instances two
counties being necessary for one, In
1898 the Republicans carried slXty-one
and the Democrats twenty-five OF these.
In 1895 the Republicans carried fifty-
eight and the Democrats twenty-five OF
these, In the senatorial districts the
Democrats only carried four In 1898 and
five In 1895, the Republicans carrying
twenty and nineteen, respectively, in
those years The trend Is with the Re-
publcans this year. and II seems like
certainty that they Will win. They are
sure to II they vote, and there Is no
sulklng this year. There are few
soured individuals who make n great
deal OF noise, but all the silver men
made much noise last fall.
