his permanent retirement from the ring.
Suilivan stepped to the center OF the stage,
and the crowd, which filled every part OF

"Flying Dutchman" Waller, Ash
niger. Schock and Gimm VIII Ride.

Cleveland, Ohio, March 6.The men who
are training for the Cleveland Wheel
Clubs six-day race, which will be started
in this city tonight, show such excel
lent form that the race committee
looks for record-breaking time in each Of
the six races that go TO make up the big
event Waller, the Flying Dutchman,'
whose long service on the track has made
him famous the world over, is riding like
q hurricane. While not certain that vic
tory is his, Waller expresses confidence,
and expects to make an excellent show
ing His victories at Washington and Pitts
burg have shown him what he can do in
non-continuous events, and he has many
admirers here who do not hesitate TO say
that whoever beats Waller viii have
hard task.
Charles w. Ashinger, six-day rider OF
note, who toured the country in the old
days when w. J. Morgan. Jack Prince, W.
NJ woodside and Bill Martin were identi-
fled with the game, and who won many of
the events in which he started, wired his
entry in advance and arrived here yester-
day to begin his work. AslIinger rode the
Chicago race and won one of the psizes.
He is now in good condition and days
preparatory work viii put him in shape
for hard and fast riding Ashinger is an
Ohio man aud lives down in small place
near Columbus With him came Con Baker,
a dangerous man. Baker easily disposed
of Waller and GimnI in a recent three-tiay
race at Columbus and il he is still in the
form that he displayed at that time he viii
be in at the finish.
Albert Shock has been here for two
weeks and is now thoroughly acquainted
with the track In conversation yesterday
Shock stated that he was here to win, but
that he was not wagering money on him
self. He rode splendidly in training yes
terday, and held his own with all the
other riders
EVERYBODY knows what Louis Gimrn, the
American twenty-four hour champion, can
do. So often has he demonstrated his
ability to race until everybody else tired OF
his speed that it would be waste Of space
to dwell upon his performances. Gimm
mas something to gain, however, by defeat
ing Waller, and he can be depended upon
to give the Dutchman a hard race.

PCLiCE AFTER The GHOULS
Several Graves Have Been Robbed
i'm Suburban Cemeteries.
The Resur rected Bodies Are Packed
in Barrels and Boxes and Then
shipped as Merchandise.

Grave robbers have again been at their
uncanny work in tie suburbs of this city /,
and the police have asked the Baltimore
authorities to look out for the culprits,
who 1T is said, fled tothat city. The names
OF the resurrectionists are being kept quiet,
but it is known that they have recently
visited several nearby graveyards and
stolen bodies Of the departed.
Que of tie robberies occurred in the Dis
trict, the others being from colored ceme-
teries i'll Prince George county. Md. a short
distance across the District line. The
cadavers were not sold to any of the Wash
ington medical colleges, as they are fully
supplied from the unclaimed dead in the
District institutions, but were shipped to
colleges in the States, where 1T is hard to
secure sufficient number of bodies for
dissecting purposes.
Last winter several ''stiffs'' were found
by the police at the express depots, packed
in long boxes ready for shipment to points
in the Northwest Sergt. Daley went to
work on the case and arrested the Mariowe
gang, who were sentenced to terms in Jail.
Within the past few weeks the notorious
'Dr." Sam Fox, known far and wide as a
tody-snatcher, has been seen in Washing
ton, and it is believed he is at the head
of the gang which has been operating re-
Gently.
The police have also learned that the
resurrectionists profited by their expe-
rience and incarceration last winter, and
have not been expressing their ghostly
merchandise from Washington this year,
but have packed their bodies in barrels
and boxes and shipped them from way
stations, between here and Baltimore,
marked as ''pi oduce'' or groceries" The
latest graveyard theft was the body of a
eolored woman, named Amelia Robinson,
from the new Harmony Cemetery, beyond
Rennings.

NO MERCY TO THE CROOKS
Judge KimbalI Says the Work
house Is Their Place.
ONE OF THEM SENT THERE
If the Forty Sent Out OF Town Had
Been Brought Before Him Zach
One Would Have Got Sem
ce-Pleasant Alleys Contin-
gent of Bellicose Females.

Out OF the forty crooks who were picked
| out OF the Inauguration crowds by the COM
| biDed force of local and out-of-town de-
tectives, one only was held for trial. The
| others, as told in yesterdays Times, were
| allowed to leave town. This was John j.
| Connors, alias Hickey o'Connor, aiias Johu
| Hicks, of Brooklyn, who, on account OF his
eIninence in the ranks of pickpockets and
''stUd lifters,'' was thought To be OF suffi-
| cient Importance to bring before Judge
Kimball on the charge of vagrancy.
CoBnors and his partner, Jim John
ston, were spotted last Saturday by De
tcctives yackim, of Brooklyn, aud Rhodes,
OF Washington, and captured after hard
chase across the Mall. By SOME mistake
Johnston, who is also a very dangerous
man, was allowed to leave the city with
the fest of the catch, but Connors was
brought into court this morning to answer
the arraignment.
Detective Weldon testified that ConnoTs
is an adept pickpocket, and has done time
for several offenses, and has the eunenviable
distinction OF being included in Inspector
Byrnes' book Of noted criminals.
Connors, tall, good Hooking and care
fully dressed. but with the long thin fingers
and shirty eyes Characteristic or his call
ing, signified his desire to give tesu-
mony in his own behalf.
Your honor he said with his restless
eyes wandering over the courtroom, Il
acknowledge that am what he says, but
i want to say tfiat this is case OF spite.
There's woman in the case.
THE fly cop had girl down at
Coney Island dance hall, who got sweet
on nv, and he's getting back at me this
way
II haven't anything to do with that,
said the Judge. but / want you crooks
to understand that every time you come
up before me it means the workhouse-'
but your honor protested the pris-
oner, there were lots more like me who
were set free
That is another matter, with which
have nothing to do. But if any or all or
the men of your stamp had been brought
before me / would have imposed a sen
tence in every case. You will all have to
learn that when you are arrested in
Washington tbs not a case OF going ahead
to another town, as in other places, but
your arrest in every instance will be fOl-
lowed by term OF imprisonment. You
are required to give $500 bond or serve
three months in the workhouse'

natural competition, which would soon
grow up between the competing domestic
manufacturers, would in time operate to
diminish the margin between the sum ex-
acted from the consumers and that which
went into the Treasury. This indeed
would have proved measurably true had
honest competition been maintained among
the same manufacturers, and was operat-
ing in that direction when, by the act of
1882, the Wings practically abandoned the
protective system, on the ground that the
''infantile period of our domestic man
ufactures had passed.
After the civil war, when the Repub
lican party, espousing the cause of the rich
capitalists engaged in manufactures, re-
vised the protective policy, they relied
especially upon the alienation of the pop
ular burdens to result from domestic com
petition. And this again would have proved
measurably true had not combinations of
capital known as ''trusts' been formed
throughout the country for the express
purpose of sitting competition among
American manufacturers. These combi-
nations among the home manufacturers
have now become general. Having al
lowed the ''fat' to be 'fried' out of
them so literally in order to procure legis-
lative barriers to rid them from foreign
competition, the millionaire manufacturers
had no idea of throwing away their ad
vantages by permitting ruinous competi-
ton among themselves. So trusts have
been formed in every branch of manufac
turing industry to keep up prices to the
domestic consumer to the full measure of
the foreign prices plus the tariff duty
They operate more or less openly and with
practical connivance of the law making
power. Their known and undisturbed
existence knocks out the last defensive
prop from beneath the protective system
and leaves it to be maintained only by the
conuptive force of plutocratic wealth,
aided by the venality and the folly OF
American electors. Such fraud and de-
lusion and ruinous oppression cannot in the
nature eff things, be long maintained.

DEMOCRATS GET TOGETHER.
BY Edward o'Mahoney, Baltimore.

BY Edward O'Mahoney, Baltimore.
From the mountain top to the broad bay shore
Harkl the swelling chorus roar.
From Alleghany's rock-ribbed sides
To Chesapeake's broad rolling tides,
This slogan on the welkin rides.
Democrats get together!
No tariff wrangle nor selfish claims,
Shall for a moment obscure our aims.
Our flag triumphant Wen unfold
On platform broad enough to hold
The men of silver and of gold
Democrats get together!
The orders of no boss we heed,
No buncombe mob conventions need.
For every Democrat high and low,
From Garrett to Wicomico,
BY his works his faith will show
Democrats get together!
We must redeem our gallant State,
Lost by factions jealous hate,
And save our people from the greed
Ofa sordid, vicious, vulture breed
That on our city's vtals feed.
Democrats get together!
The Duke has made his fight and won,
He has the call in Washington.
But this is different kind OF fight;
We'n beat them this time out of sight,
For heaven always defends the right.
Democrats get together,
For straight-out ticket we declare
A Democrat in the City Hall chair.
Well fire as high as GIlderoy's kite
The chap that goes back in this fight,
He'd better monkey with dynamite.
Democrats gettogether!
For the men that place or office seek
The merit system we bespeak;
And make it known, and say it pat,
The highest merit should be that
The applicant is Democrat.
Democrats get together.
