In Ohio the other day Vernie Lee-pret-
ty and talented, Of course-went out to
ride on her bicycle. She took road into
the woods. Pretty soon she came rushing
back afoot, with face aAame and hair dis
heveled. telling a hysterical story of hav-
ing been attacked in the woods by rob-
Der, who fired pistol at her. A dozen
stout and willing men armed themselves
and pushed into the woods, determined to
wreak swift vengeance upon the miscre-
ant A few moments brought them to the
young woman's wheel, where she had
abandoned it in her flight. An examlna-
ton of the rear tire disclosed a puncture,
which accounted for the supposed william S
supposed pistol shot, and the young wo-
mans fright. There was no lynching.

There will never be a better time to dis
cuss and arrange for the removal Of wood
en- poles from the streets and squares, and
the burial OF the electric wires
than the present, when the new lighting
contract and the changes In the street
railway system are being canvassed. The
people Of the city look to their represen-
tatives In the council 70 see that the pub
lie interests receive the best possible at
tention. The street railway company is
not going to give more service or accom-
mOdations than it is obliged to. and it is
the duty Of the council to see that Sa-
vannah has a good and efficient transpor-
tation system, in which the service rem
dered is commensurate with the price
paid. 1t might be a hardship to the COM
pany TO require that as wooden poles be
replaced with iron ones at once, but it
would not be a hardship TO require that
no more wooden poles be erected within
the corporate limits. If 1t were required
that iron poles only should be used to
replace poles taken down, the change from
wood 10 iron would be gradual and 1t
would not be many years before the city
would be supplied with safe and neat iron
poles. This should apply TO all other cleo
trio companies as wei as to the street
railway company. II there is any way by
which the fire alarm and police telegraph
wires can be got under ground without
great cost, 1t should be adopted.

A Chicago dispatch to the New York
World reports the organization in that
city of a new national -greenback politl-
cal party, with branches springing UP
simultaneously in San Francisco, Wash
ington, Philadelphia, st. Louis, Detroit
and other cities. The prime movers in
the organization are said to be John P.
Altgeld, Henry George, Tom L. Johnson,
Henry T. Jones and John D. Gill, and
one of the purposes of the organization
is reported to be to ''forever defeat any
chances which Bryan may have had"
There will shortly be an election in the
Sixth Illinois congressional district, in
which AItgeld will put up and back man
named Henrici on the greenback plat

Senator Platt said the other day: ''To
bet on Tracy is like picking up money in
the street" Later he was approached and
offered the Tracy end of big bet, with
odds in his favor, but declined to accept
the wager, on the ground that he made it
a practice never to do anything of the
kind Is that not proof conclusive that
Mr.. Plat is a man of great probty and
disinterested patriotism? Most men have
no objections to picking up money In
the street"

The constitution of the United States,
like the constitutions of most of the
states, declares that no person shall be
twice put in jeopardy for the same Of
Tense" The constitutions of Illinois and
Pennsylvania contain the provision in the
same words. but in the two states there
appears TO be a difference in the law Of
jeopardy. 1t is announced that the mis-
trial in the Luetgert murder case in Chi
cago viii be followed by a second trial
In Pennsylvania, according to the Phila~
delphia Press, it has been specifically de-
cided by the supreme court that if jury
in capital case is discharged from in
ability to agree on verdict the prisoner
may plead that fact in bar to another
trial. Under this rule, - says the Press,
"men charged with murder have escaped
again and again through a jury's dis
agreement OF some error which caused a
mistrial." Pennsylvania seems to procce
upon the principle that it Is better that
ninety-nine guilty should escape than that
one innocent should suffer

DR.. Depew, the president of the New
York Central railroad, has a rather start
ling theory as to the primary cause of the
accident on the New York Central rail
way the other day. He is satisfied that
dynamite was used to so destroy the road
bed that the train was thrown into the
river He advances some pretty good
reasons for his theory, and 1t seems that
efforts are being made to discover the
party or parties who are believed to be
guilty of wrecking the train. If the mo-
tive was plumber the robbers got moth
ing, because the express car sank in the
river beyond their reach. If it was re-
venge for some grievance against the rail-
road company the chief sufferers were
persons against whom the guilty parties
could not possibly have had any feeling of
hostility.
DR.. Depew's theory, however, is not ac-
cepted by some of the clearest headed men
connected with the railroad. Gen. Tou-
cey, the general manager of the road, be-
lleves that when the engine is taken out
of the river some part of Its
machinery will be found to be brok-
en-, and that the accident was caused by
this broken machinery. He points out
that the locomotive could not have gone
so far as it did beyond the break in the
road bed If the break had been caused by
dynamite.
In the absence of conclusive evidence as
to the cause of the accident Gen. Toucey's
theory is the more acceptable to a major
ity of people. One does not like to believe
that any human being is so depraved as
to deliberately plan the death of scores of
people for the sake of plumber or because
of hostility to railroad company, and yet
that is what must be believed if Dr. De-
pew's theory is accepted. A day or two
doubtless will be sufficient TO determine
which of the theories, If either is the
correct one.
