A man from Gardiner got onto the
wrong train, Sunday morning at Au-
gusta, and was brought to this city.
He was in hard circumstances and he
jumped the freight train that returns
to Portland from his station in the
forenoon. When he arrived at Au-
gusta he got out of the box car that
he had taken his ride in and waited
around until the train started again.
Then he tit into the empty car again
and probably landed in Gardiner all
right. If he had known that that train
carried passengers he might have had
a ride from Augusta to Gardiner in a
comfortable saloon car as his ticket
was good for that distance

For years the Tramp Problem has
been the principal cause of agitation
among county commissioners. The
newspaper press has picked the matter
UP time and again, but the tramp is
still on deck in most localities. Water
vile seems to have struck the keynote
in the work of giving the hobo the
black eye. For the past 10 days but
two 'tramps have been put up and sent
down to Jail. Only 8 tramps have
called on the city for lodging since the
city fathers adopted the plan of send
ing the members of the weary frater-
nifty to Jail for 80 days
1t has been said that a good warm
home for the winter is just what the
tramp wants and that 80 days
sentence will have no effect upon the
hobo. This does not seem to be the
case as far as Waterville is concerned.
and 1t is not true that tramps like the
long term plan. NThey can take 30
days sentence all right and come out
to get in again in day or two, but
that day or two of fresh air means a
good deal to them. In the Augusta
Jail, where there is no work shop, by
ercise. the prisoner is confined to his
cell all of the time, except for a short
time in the morning, when all hands
must turn out and do the work that is
necessary to the good sanitary condi-
ton of the institution Will a tramp
work? Most eff them prefer a Jail
where there is a work shop, for they
can mingle more or less with each
ether, even if they have to do a GER
tain amount ofSwcrk for the county,
but to be shut Up in the narrow con-
fines of the cell for % out of the "a
hours is not at all to their liking.
Close confinement will have as good
effect On the tramps' stunning the
localities where such jails are MAIN
tanned as a rock pile and the hammer.
Mayor Redington gives the Journal the
following figures as the total number
of >tranps quartersd by the city during
the respective years: 1894, S39: 1895,
915; 1886. 1902: 1887 to now, $50.

Deputy Sheriff Mutt, who has made
two trips to Lewiston and Auburn, af-
ter man by the name of Grant. who
claims to be general book agent and
who is charged with skipping his board,
has found his man and has brought
him back here to settle. The mans
case is peculiar one. He is evidently
no sharper, but simply inexperienced.
He boarded at Mrs. Butterfields IS
days and then quietly left. AS Mrs
Butterfield has suffered lots of such
behavior of late, she determined to
have this one captured and he was. He
works for the International Publishing
Co.. and believes that they owe him $50
and for some reason are withholding
IT.; but as his contract calls for eight
agents per week and he has only sue
ceeded in appointing four in nearly
three weeks it is easy to see where the
lump lies. He has about $50 now to
pay, and if he does not succeed in Sc
curing the money he must go to the
Skowhegan Jail.
