A KIPLING POEM.

Several years ago Fred D. Underwood
now general manager of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, named two stations in
the upper peninsula of Michigan "Rud-
yard and 'Kipling," one being in an ag-
ricultural country and the other in an iron
ore district. Some time later a mutual
friend informed Kipling of Mr.. Under
woods action. and the celebrated author
sent Mr.. Underwood his photograph with
the following lines on the back:
"RUDYARD" AND "KIPLING"
wise is the child who knows his sire"
The ancient proverb ran,
But wiser far the man who knows
How, where and when his offspring grows
For who in the mischief would suppose
I've sons in Michigan?
Yet am I saved from midnight ills,
That warp the soul of man;
They do not make me walk the floor
Nor hammer at the doctors door,
They deal in wheat and iron ore,
My sons in Michigan.
Oh, Tourist in the Pullman car
(By Cooks or Raymond S plan),
Forgive a parents partial view;
So let me introduce to you
My sons in Michigan.

A brief session of the Ohio county
Criminal Court was held yesterday
morning at which the docket was call
ed and number of cases were set for
trial. There are few really important
cases on the docket, one of the most
interesting being that of State VS.. Mar
shall Darlington, who was indicted up
on two felony counts. Darlington is
the negro who was arrested upon sus-
picion as the man who entered the
room of Mrs. Rebecca Harden, and
brutally assaulted her. The case was
passed until next Friday, when motions
will probably be made by attorney for
the defense.
John Mcnamara, who was indicted
for stealing shoes, appeared in court
and entered a plea of guilty of misde-
meanor. The court imposed Jail
sentence of twenty days.
Joseph Tregolia, charged with steal
ing bolts of cloth from the merchant
tailoring establishment of c. Hess &
Sons entered plea O. not guilty. The
case was passed for the present.
Raymond Pryor, colored, charged
with shooting Andrew Green with in
tent to kill, plead not guilty and his
case was set for trial March 10th.
In the case of State VS.. H. E. Bach
man, charged with ENLIGHTENMENT and
theft from W. T. Clark, of New York
State, the suggestion was made that
Clark is a nonresident. and security
for his appearance was asked. A bond
in the sum of $1,000 was entered into,
with w. J. Colts as surety, and witness
is required to appear on the 18th inst.
The Prosecuting Attorney stated that
his relations with Bachman were of
such character that he did not regard
it as proper upon his part to prosecute
the case. He asked the court to APP
point counsel for the prosecution, and
Judge Hugus named c. A. Mabon, Esq.
Demurrers were entered in the case of
State VS.. Edward Darby, charged with
felonious theft, and they will be argued
March 9th.
William and George Philabaum,
charged with the theft of a skiff. en-
tered demurrers by their attorneys to
each count in their indictments. The
demurrers were argued, and submitted
to the Court.
The Court accepted the personal rec
ognizance of Bert Balm. and ordered
him released from the custody of the
Sheriff.
The provisions of the bill which
passed the recent Legislature, provid-
ing for an extension of the jurisdiction
of the Criminal Court, were in evidence
yesterday The law now gives the Court
Jurisdiction in bastardy cases, and
there are a number upon the docket.
This provision places the jurisdiction
where it should belong, and relieves
the Circuit Judges of a considerable
amount of work.

GEORGIA P0PULIsTs.

ATLANTA. Ga, March ga meeting of
the State Executive Committee of the
Populist party was held here to-day.
Twenty of the committeeman were pres
ent. The principal business of the day
was the selection of chairman to sue
coed w. F. Carter.
1t is likely that the issue of the party
will be simplifed by the probable elimina-
ton of all planks but one-the initiative
and referendum. For the past two years
Peoples Party leaders and newspapers all
over the south and west have been urging
that this plank be given the first place,
saying that it means true Democracy,
guaranteeing the rule of the people.

MILES OF OLD CARS.

Chicago Inter Ocean.
Seven miles of condemnation Is q long
drawn out affair even for the West. But
1t stands as a Western growth near the
state penitentiary at Laramie, Wyo.,
where cenvicts are daily engaged In MAX
ing it an everlessening fact. For many
months the inspectors of the Union Pa
cific railroad have scrutinized the thou
sands of freight cars that handle the
overland traffic. When a debilftated car
of low capacity or unequipped with air
brakes ratified past 1t was branded as
condemned, and, If empty, was shunted
off on the sidetrack built to be a last
refuge for the doomed cars This process
continued for months till the cars, av-
eraging thirty feet In length, reached a
total length of seven miles. This dis
lance was ascertained by local statisti-
clans, who, in the interests of railroad
history, pedaled their bicycles along the
line and measured 1t with their CYCLIC
meters.
These cars are humpbacked, sway
backed, and contorted in every conceiv-
able way, but they still hold themselves
erect with g. kind of melancholy dignity.
They have had careers varying from
eight to twelve years, and since their
building a score of changes have taken
place in car construction. Their capacity
is often as low as $4,000 pounds, whereas
the modern car is from 10000 to $4,000
pounds capacity. The brake mechanism
for the freight ear has come to be as
complicated as was that of the passen-
ger car thirty years ago, and inventions
applying to doors, ventilation and run

Generally ImprOvised, With Steel
Plates or sandbags.
Detroit Fee Press. g.
Many dispatches from the Transvaal
refer to the armored trains which are
used to transport troops and passengers
through the district in which military
operations are going on, and inquiry nat
Crally- arises as to what constitutes q
train of that kind
1t is nothing more than a train Of or
binary freight cars when have baeu
strengthened on the inside with sheets
Of metaI and pierced with holes, through
which rifles and small field pieces may be
used on an attacking party. A fiat car
or gondola, with a heavy piece or two
of artillery, may be a part of such a
train. and in some instances enough cf
the closed cars may be taken away tn
allow a Maxim gun to be placed in oosi-
tiCn.
An army. officer, in speaking of these
trains, said: They are always imnro-
N1sed and fitted up with the material
nearest at hand. This may be railroad
iron, sheets Of steel or sandbags. AMI
sometimes nothing more than heavy
lumber We used armored trains In
Porto Rico and in the Philippines ana
the trains about which we read as he
ing used in the TransvaaI are probably
in most respects like those improvise d
portable strongholds. There are some
cars, like the new steel cars, which hava
advantages as means of transportation in
country made dangerous by an enemy
but almost any kind of cars NAV. be
turned into the class known now as ar
mored' at short distance, and the ar
morlng will depend on the mechanical
