Deeds Worthy Of Pralse(7)

An advance of 10 per cent in wages
to more than 10000 employees OF the
National Tube Company is to take effect
April 1st.. This is the second increase
of 10 percent granted by the same COM
pany within six months and makes the
wages OF common labor higher than at
any time within the history of the
works. Evanston Press.
Such squibs as this are calculated
to catch the unthinking voter. The
Press didn't state that the price of
tubing had scared up about 75 per
cent, thus leaving the trust some 55
per cent net profit after making the
last raise in wages. The EXAMINER
is glad that the workmen, for this
corporation, has received part of the
profits unjustly extorted from the
people through trust manipulation,
but they could have made the raise
a74 per cent and still only be dividing
equally with the men who produce
the tubing.
The trouble about these advances
is that only the workmen's end of
the raise is advertised while the
trusts profit, which are always two
or three fold larger is kept from pub
Lie notice.

clutches upon young Durrant pro-
ceeded to collect what they termed
evidence, the whole mess of stuff in
all probability being manufactured
for the purpose of conviction, and
all of a circumstantial nature. Dur
rant stoutly maintained from his ar
rest up TO the moment of his execu-
ton that he was innocent Of the
horrible charge, but forsooth be-
cause he could not explain every
moment of his presence at certain
times he was convicted and hung,
and once more the majesty of the
law, along with the thick skulled
theory of these police wise acres,
was duly vindicated. Now the
true sequel: A few days ago, on
hia death bed, Rev. Gibson, who at
the time was pastor of Emanuel
church where one of the murders
was committed, confesses that he
killed both of the victims. He was
an active and important witness at
the trial of poor Durrant, the rea-
son for which is quite plain, and
also in view of the fact that sus-
picion was strongly directed to him
at the time.-Cody Enterprise.

REGRETS HIS SONS BIRTH
Feeble Father Tells a Sad Tale
of Abuse.

eyes, he is my son, and I wish he had
never been born"
Thus spoke Patrick Creagon, of No. 284
Erie street. in the First Criminal Court
this morning, at the trial of his son, John,
thirty-four years old, a laborer, who was
charged with assault and battery and SEN
fenced to sixty days in the Penitentiary
by Police Justice Potts. Mr.. Creagon,
who is sixty-four years old, told the Court
that his son was utterly worthless and
a drunkard He said that the son had
made existence burden for the family
particularly Mrs. Cregan, who is sixty-five
years old and feeble, and Mrs. Anna
O'Grady, the prisoners sister. Mrs.
O'Grady is the wife of former Constable
O'Grady, who abandoned her and left the
city some time ago. She is the main
support of the family and she does most
of the house work.
The testimony in the case was to the
effect that on the occasion of the assault
Creagon was drunk and threw food in
Mrs. O'Grady's face and then struck her
with his fists. This was on last Wednes-
day The prisoner was arrested on Sat
urday and Mrs. Creagon told Police Cap
tain Kelly that Sunday night was the
first time in years that she went to sleep
in peace and safety.
Mr. Creagon said that his son was a
drunxard; THAT he would go home at night
and abuse the family and fight. This
continued, he said. until it began to eff
feet Mrs. Creagon's health when he ap-
pealed 10 the police for protection.
Creagon, the son, was arraigned on
Monday and pleaded that he was more
sinned against than shining. He asked
for an investigation Of his career. Cap
tain Kelly looked into his record and re-
ported to the Court that it was very
black Justice Potts scored Creagon for
allowing his feeble father to work while
he spent his time IL idleness, with no
other ambition but to get drunk.

The Board of Education held an usually
short and early meeting last evening
Eight members were present. Very little
business was transacted and that OF
minor Importance.
Corporation Attorney Queen advised
the Board in the matter of the claim OF
Edward j. Sampler, for services as archi-
tect for the proposed new addition to

mer Board of Education on June 10, 1897,
to prepare plans and specifications for
the extension, alteration and repairs,

$35, 900. His compensation was to be 3k
per cent Mr. Queen said if he prepared
such plans and specifications under that
resolution and they were accepted by the
city, the city is liable for the amount OF
services performed, but no evidence to
that effect has been presented and until
such is shown the claim should not be
paid.

munication in regard to changes in the
system of studies in the High School, was
ordered consigned by the Clerk to the

Board that the janitors of the several
schools be directed to exercise care and
economy in the use of water, was referred
to the School Committees to have it COM

MORAN AND HIS LEG.
They Were Separated and No
One Would Take Charge
of the Limb.

William Moran, twenty-seven years old,
of No. 81 Fourth street, this city, deck
hand on the Baltimore and Ohio tugboat
Cyclops, was the victim yesterday OF
peculiar accident. The tugboat was tying
up at the st. George, S. l., railroad pier,
and Moran was casting a rope to the
dock. In some way the hawser became
entangled about Morans right leg. Be
fore he could extricate himself the line
drew taut with snap, cutting the man
leg off at the knee. He was taken to
the S. r. Smith Infirmary at New
Brighton.
After Moran had gone to the infirm-
ary his amputated leg still lay upon the
pier. The railroad people notified the
Coroners. They said they had no jurisdic-
ton. as the owner of the leg was alive.
Then the police were asked to take
charge. They refused to do SO. There
was nothing mysterious about the case,
and really the police had nothing to do
with it.
Next the Health Department was tried.
No better success. The leg was not ere
ating a nuisance If it did later it would
take action.
In despair the railroad people were
about to ask the Department of Docks to
do something, and if failure was met
there the Corporation Counsel was to be
appealed to. Some of Morans comrades
got box, placed the leg in 1t and buried
it on railroad property.
A question has been raised if this IS
not violation of the law. Even If it
is not, there may be complications. Some
years hence the leg may be uncovered,
and then the police will have mystery
to solve.
The chances are that Moran will live.
If he does he will probably have the
leg properly buried.
