Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1897-04-09

ROBERT INGERsoLL The one thing con-
slant, the one peak that rises above the clouds,
the one window in which the light forever
burns, the one star that darkness cannot quench,
is wonan's love. This one fact justi6es the
existence and the perpetuation of the human
race. Again say that women are better than
men their hearts are more unreservedly given;
in the web of their lives sorrow is inextricably
woven with the greatest joys; self sacrifice
is a part of their nature, and at the behcst of
love and maternity they walk willingly aud
joyously down to the very gates of death.
Is there nothing i'll this to excite the admira
ton, the alteration of a modern reformer
THERE is still talk of Gov. Leedy calling an
extra session of the legislature for the purpose
of passing maximum freight law which failed
to become law in the late session. If an ex-
ira session is called, the Times hopes to see the
following Senate Bill 313, which failed in the
House, become aw-and it will
SECTION 1. That one-third of the crop
raised by any tenant on any farm in the state
of Kansas shall be exempt from the operation
of any lien for any rent to be paid i'll cash rr
otherwise, for such farm, and any contract made
between landlord and tenant, by which the
landlord shall have lien on more than two
thirds of the crop, shall, to that extent, be
null and void.
SEC. 2. Any contract made between land
lord and tenant by which the tenant agrees to
pay the taxes on the land rented shall, to that
extent, be null and void.
Sec. 8. This act shall take effect and be in

DepeW'S Alarm.

UCpCW , Add Ill.
Dire calamities and miseries hitherto un-
thought of are predicted by Chauncey NJ.
Depew, who has charge of the Vanderbilt rail-
road interests, should the supreme court de-
csion in the tfansnissouri case be permitted to
stand This of course unless relief can be OBJ
tanned from another quarter and the star of
hope indicated by the doctor is the national
congress.
He says the interests of which he is prom
inent representative will appeal to congress as
last resort if the joint traffic association case
now pending shall be decided i'll favor of the
government 1t does not seem to have occur
red to Doctor Depew that in pursuing such
course the railroads might, i'll the language of
the old addage jump out of the frying pan i'll
to the fire.
AS if anticipating this appeal TO congress,
Senator Foraker has introduced bill permit
ting railroads to make agreements regarding
rates. If that were all the Foraker bill con-
tanned it would be we'll calculated to afford the
relief desired by the railroad managers, but it
provides that agreements entered into regarding
rates shall be subject to review and approval by
the interstate commerce commission. There
is also provision for a final appeal to the
courts, but that would leave the. matter just
woere it is.
The effect of the law would be to place the
the whole railroad business of the country
practically under government control.
1t is barely possible that DR.. Depew is ex-
pecting too much if he thinks the people
through their representatives are going to re-
linquish anything of the victory gained after SO
long and hard fight for justice.
1t is improbable that there are enough rail
road attorneys in congress to accomplish the
wishes of the Vanderbilts and Goulds.
An ordinary observer will hardly detect any
sufficient cause for the alarm expressed by De-
pew. There is no cause for rate war unless
the railroads themselves choose to inaugurate
it. They have the matter in their own hands.
If they start runous war of rates, there is
none to blame but themselves.
The people ask nothing but what is fair and
inst They are not likely to be frightened by
any predictions of impending cas nifty on the
part of people of opposing interests. Topeka

BODY NOT IDENTIFIED.
Remains of May Davis Still at Cusick
Undertaking Establishment.

The body Of May Davis" unknown,
who died at the Lackawanna hospital.
Monday night, still awaits claim at
Cusick's livery on Washington avenue.
At O'Clock last evening two women
visited the morgue and viewed the re-
mains. They stated that a collection
is being taken up for the burial of the
body. One of the women gave her
name as Mrs. Penn" and her resi-
dence as 1874 Franklin avenue. The
number at least is erroneous.
a Tribune reporter found that at 1874
Franklin avenue Mrs. Ziba Stephens,
a dressmaker resides. Mrs. Stephens
knows nothing of the Davis" girl Her
name was confused with that of Mrs.
Annie Jones who. at Il e request of
Mrs. Stephens, was reno ed to the hos
pital last Saturday mig t. Mrs. Jones
and her husband rented apartments
from Mrs. Stephens about a month ago.
Some time afterward the husband
deserted the woman and a few days
after that Mrs. Jones complained of
Illness. Dr. John Burnett gave a per-
NIT for the removal of the woman to
the hospital. She was taken there last
Saturday night. The Davis" girl was
admitted to the hospital Sept. 4. She
gave her residence as "a Oakford court,
but would not divulge her real name
or place of family residence.

LAST GRAND JURY.
Alderman W. S. MiIlar Says Some Very
Caustic Things About It...Cites
Miscarriages of Justice.

Alderman w. S. Millar, of the Eighth
ward, yesterday handed down his opin-
ion on the late grand jury, which so
severely attacked the aldermen of this
city. 1t was a lengthy opinion and
was couched in the plainest English.
Il have no hesitation in saying that
the last grand jury was very queer"
was one of Alderman Millar's remarks.
This statement was made after Alder
man Millar i'm his discussion had cited
several cases where the grand jury had
blundered. "One case" said Alderman
Millar. was that of an aged woman
who was beaten almost to a jelly by a
man. / had no hesitation when the
woman. bruised and battered. appeared
before me, in sending the case to the
grand jury. The defendant told her
story before those jurymen, she exhib-
tied the marks of the beating, and
they ignored the bill and placed the
costs upon her.
Another instance" continued the
alderman. was in the case of one of
my officers-Detective Clifford-against
colored man named Fitzgerald. The
charge was interfering with an officer
and aiding a prisoner to escape. De-
on West Lackawanna avenue, when
Fitzgerald came w behind him and
struck Clifford on the head with a cane.
The prisoner escaped, while Fitzgerald
was arrested. Detective Clifford APP
peared before the grand jury, told his
story and exhibited the cane, which
had been broken by the blow. They
ignored the bill Again: Thomas Can
avan was the victim of a theft. A lot
of tools were taken from his place of
business and his suspicion fell upon a
certain man. l issued a search war;
rant and the tools were found i'm this
mans house. Each tool was stamped
with Canavans name. The case was
shown in evidence-and they ignored
| the bill.
There you are" exclaimed the al.
| derman of the Eighth, land these are
| only few of the miscarriages of jus
tice perpetrated by this jury. What
| inference will the criminal class have
! nothing but rob, slash away
and the grand jury will throw out the
case against you"
Alderman Millar was not in the cit,
at the time the jury made it's report o
his remarks, he says, would have beer
made before the judges and he woult
| have demanded a rctracton of th'
statements made by the jury that al
dermen of the city send into court too
| many petty cases. The cases cited h
| offers as some of those same petty
cases which were ignored.

the Blue Ridge Coal company for dam
ages, caused by culm being washed
upon his property, occupied the whole
day before Judge Archibald and is like
ly to consume the remainder of the
week. Surveyor Edmund Bartl finished
Identifying his map of the premises
during the morning and then the plain
tiff was put on the stand to show that
the plaintiff was liable for the injury
and to fix the measure of damages. He
was undergoing discrimination by
Major Warren at adjourning time.
Brundage testified that the creek
which carried the culm upon his land
formerly flowed in front of his prop
erty. At his instigation the borough
of Blakely changed the course of the
stream and caused 1t to run in the rear
of his lots. The new channel, it Is al
legged, became filed up with cum and
in a freshet, Oct 10, 1896, the creek left
its course and made a channel for itself
through the center of his property, car
rying with 1t many tons of culm, which
was scattered over the lots and washed
into the cellars of the three houses.
VERDICT IN DELEvAN CASE.
The jury in the case of Richard j.
Delevan against the Lackawanna Val
ley Rapid Transit company, after be-
ing out four hours, brought in a ver-
dict at 4.30 o'clock. allowing $1,92O for
the wife's injuries and $500 as the hus-
bands compensation. The verdict. II
is said, is satisfactory to both parties.
Judge Archibald is trying to secure
an outside judge to assist in disposing
of this weeks big list. Judge Albright
of Lehigh county, may lend a hand
and if he does hewill sit in the Superior
court room.

Husties About for Heip--Verdict
for The Plaintiff in the Sum of

Carbondale street Car Company.

No little amusement was created in
court room No. yesterday by the ac-
ton of one of the jurymen who felt
himself called upon to help out the
court in arriving at a decision in
knotty question.
1t was i'm the case of William NJ. Nc
Andrew, of Olyphant, against DOM
mick Reddington. McAndrew is an old
and decrepit widower, who boarded
with his niece and her husband, the de-
fendant. He had some trouble with
his eyes and in May. 1894. went TO Phil
adephia to have them treated. Before
going he gave his niece power of at
torney to draw his money from the
Merchants and Mechanics bank that
she might send it to him as he re-
quired it. She drew some $500 more
than he authorized her to draw and
applied it to her own uses. To recover
this money he brought the suit.
After the testimony of the plaintiff
had been all presented, Joseph O'Brien
and Hon. c. Z. O'Maley, attorneys for
the defense, argued at length for a
compulsory non-suit, alleging that it
had not been shown that the husband
was in any way connected with the
transaction between ms Wlle anu neG
uncle.
HELPING THE JUDGE.
Mr.. Newcomb, attorney for the plain
tiff. was in the midst of his argument,
combating the contention of the de-
fense. when Juror Charles Monte, of
Moosic. arose in the box and address
ing Judge Gunster. blurted out in i'm
patient tones: Your Honor, there
no question about it, The woman tes-
titled with tears in her eyes that her
husband made her take the money out
of the bank. He's stuck for it, sure
