Committee on the Measure.

Committee on the Measure.
Washington, ID. c., Jan. 13.-The In
ter-State Commerce eommitte of the
Senate continued it's hearing IN the
scalping bill to-day with George w.
Boyd, Of the Pennsylvania railroad, az
the principal witness. He was sworn
under the resolution recently adopted by
the Senate He supported the bill an |
said that the ticket brokers proved
especially upon the poorer classes by dis
honest methods, by altered, forged and
stolen tickets He suid he knew this
to be the case because he was in q posi-
tion to know the facts to be as he repre-
seated, as he met daily the people who
dealt with the brokers. He claimed also
that the public was defrauded, as the
attempt by them to use the tickets thus
secured often resulted to their discom.
ftupe.
When Mr.. Boyd concluded George NJ.
Mckenzie was called in behalf of the
ticket brokers and sworn. Before pro-
ceeding Mr. Mckenzie sought to make a
personal statement in reply to attack
upon his character, which was, he said,
dearer to him even than the cause he
represented.
Mr. CullOm called Mr. McKenzie's at
tention to a statement he (AIcKenzie)
had made to the effect that he had per-
sonal relations with many of the rail
roads.
Mr.. Mckenzie then presented affida-
Wits from Simon Steiner, ticket broker
of st. Louis, and J. Van Schor. a
broker of Cleveland, to the effect that
they had purchased tickets and thasand
mile books from the regularly author
lied agents of the Pennsylvania Com
pany, the tickets being bought by the
brokers on commission. He also pre-
scented an affidavit from Albert j. Gels,
ticket broker, of Chicago, stating that
he had paid with a check for $500 for
mileage books purchased from II. K.
Deering, assistant general passenger
agent Of the Pennsylvania railroad at
Chicago, Ill. These books were in blank
and Mr.. Gels swore that he also received
in commission from the PENNSYLVANIA
agent of S136.75 during a period of six
months, the commissions being paid on
coupon tickets sold by him.
Before the conclusion of Mr. McKen-
zle's statement the committee adjourned
until Saturday morning

Salisbury Truth.)

The Stany Enterprise denies that
the technicalit;es in the law are the
reason the commissioners of that county
brought suit to prevent the payment
Of interests on the bonds issued for the
construction Of the Yadkin Railway. II
states that the bonds were isued in good
faith, the county taking a certificate OF
stock for the 100000 worth of bonds
but in less than three months the South
ern Railway had given a first mortgage
ON the road, which is considered partly
Stanly's property, thus making it i'm
possible for the county to reap any divi-
dends after the interest on the mort
gage Is paid.

STATEMENT MADE BY THE LAWYERS
Attorneys.

Neybern, \. c., Jan. 13.-(Special)-
AS stated in the News and Observer
Yesterday, it was quite a surprise to the
able counsel engaged to prosecute Robert
Hancock for the seduction and ruin OF a
beautiful maiden, to be notified all of a
sudden that the plaintiff was DESTROYS
of having the damage suit Withdrawn
from the courts.
The attorneys had entered record with
the complaint in good faith and refused
TO withdraw the case from the court,
and give notice to the plaintiff, Mrs. Alb
bolt, that upon further written assur-
ance of her voluntary action in the
matter that they would feel compelled
TO withdraw as counsel in the case. The
plaintiff stated that she wished the suit
withdrawn, and upon this action the
counsel petitioned the court to allow
them to retire as counsel from the suit.
phis does not help the scandal bit
it still fingers in the minds of a civilized
people, and impresses them as degrad-
ed act of unusual Importance. Virtue
ceases to shine, character is lost.
