THEY ADMIRE M'KINLEY
THOUSANDS IN NORTH CAROLINA
WHO WILL VOTE FOR HIM.
Senator Pritchard Thinks that State
May He Carried by the Re-
publican Party.

Before leaving for Chicago last night
United States Senator ]. c. Pritchard of
North Carolina, gave out to the Journal
an encouraging statement of the political
situation in his State-North Carolina.
Senator Pritchard said:
There is n business element in our State
which has steadfastly desired to vote for
Mr.. Mckinley. They wanted to support
him at the polls in 1886. The Democrats as
sured them If they would support the pro-
posed amendment TO the State Constitu-
ton, which had for its object the restric-
ton of the right of suffrage In so far as
the negro was concerned that in the future
they would permit them to have intel
lectual freedom in all matters pertaining to
the national government. This class OF
people claim that they have voted with the
Democrats, and that the amendment has
been adopted. and that they are now priv
ileged to vote for whomsoever they please
for President. They are in favor of protec-
ton, of expansion and of sound money
and thousands of them will vote the Re-
publican ticket this election. We are going
to make rapid strides in that direction.
would not say positively that we will carry
North Carolina for Mckinley. but think
will.
1.-THE religious papers of the State, with
few exceptions. take the position that the
race question ought not to be injected into
the national campaign that IL is an injus-
tice TO the negro and will do the State an
injury, and they insist that the Democratic
party is under contract not to raise that
issue in this contest. If it is not raised and
the business men and the farmers and la
borers of North Carolina are permitted to
pass upon these national issues as they do
upon any other public questions, North
Carolina is safe for Mckinley as Ohio
is. That is my honest. candid opinion"
Senator Pritchard is an unusually fine
specimen of physical manhood tall.
straight and of rather massive build. His
face expresses all the fearless determine
ton which his voice utters with unmis-
taxable clearness. The senator recalled
that there was time when ii was not safe
for him to appear in public in some parts
of North Carolina to deliver a political
speech. But" said he. 'there is not a foot
of ground in that State upon which L fear
TO stand and speak my mind to the peo-
pie"

THE TRAMP IMPOSITION
PENNSYLVANIA OFFICIAL THINKS
THE PROBLEM Is SOLVED.
VIII BE Asked to Explain How
Tickets Get to ScaIpers.

NJ. W. Mansfield, superintendent Of the
Indianapolis & Vincennes and of. the In
dianapolis terminals of the Pennsylvania
Company, in conversation yesterday, said
that he thought the time had come for all
important roads to adopt the plan of the
Pennsylvania lines-that of a regular po-
lice system to look after tramps. Under
the Pennsylvania system such murderous
assault on a trainman as that reported a
few days ago on the Big Four could not
vel! occur, so thoroughly are the different
divisions policed. Tramps now understand
the situation, and are giving the road no
trouble, while before the present plan be-
came effective a freight train could not go
over any division without being molested
by tramps, and often trainmen were forced
&c carry them or have fight, or the tramp.
IL put off, would derail trains and do
much harm to property. The police system
OF the Pennsylvania lines west is now in
high favor by people living on the lines, as
all sorts of depredations were practiced.
Stores We're robbed, traceable to tramps,
houses entered and food stolen, the occu-
pants of such houses not daring TO resist,
and with this action on the part of the
railroad company such things are now UNI
known. and the people on the lines would.
says one OF the officials, rather help pay
for the present policing of their lines than
to have the company abandon il.

Seven Complaints Filed in the Courts

The divorce suit record yesterday ran
far ahead of the marriage license record.
There were seven divorce suits filed and five
marriage licenses issued. For the past three
months there has been number of neck
and neck races between these two depart
ments and yesterday was repetition of a
result that has been the outcome of many
other occasions.

from her husband. Francis NJ. Logue, says
they were married at Altamont. ILL.,, Jan.

riage he treated her cruelty and became

not take in washing TO help support the
family, which brought on an attack of
after she recovered from this she says he
choked her into insensibiity. She also
charges that he failed to provide for her
self and family and, that during the winter
of 1893 and 1900, he compelled their two
daughters, twelve and fourteen years old,
TO go out and pick up coal along the rail-
road to make fire TO keep them warm. He
is further charged with taking money his
children earned by working out, under the
pretense of borrowing IL. She says he
never bought any furniture for the house
except a cook stove and two paper curtains,
her relatives giving them the rest of their
household equipment. She alleges that once
when he was asked TO buy a carpet he
refused, saying they had too many kids
to tramp ii out"
Her husband, she AYERS, has a rowing dis
position. and is continually moving from
place to place. She says their places of

ment, in Illinois. Once. she says. her hus-
band sent her TO her mother I'm bingham.
while he went TO Chicago and they twice
lived in Altamont. She says the number
of times they were compelled TO move

numerous to specify. In addition TO the
divorce she asks the court to grant a re-
straining order preventing her husband
from coming about their home at 1920 How
ard street, and to give her the custody of
their six children. She asserts that he has
threatened to take her children away from
her, and asks protection in the restraining
order. 1t is charged that Aug. q he way
laid their daughter Cora, fourteen years
old, on her way TO work, took her TO a
place of hiding and still has her in his
possession. She also asks the restoration
of her child.

trunk lines and Central Passenger Associa-

call several of the members TO account for

rate for the round trip was low enough TO

the agreement. which was well understood.
Not only was the rate cut. but it has come
to light that deals were made with scalpers.
AS a result the Chicago market will be

unfortunate that break of this kind
should have occurred when the situation
for some weeks past has been gratifyingly

ARREST OF JESSE WEEK.
He Was Found Ill i'm Bed and Unable
to BE Moved.

Deputy United States Marshal Boyd
yesterday arrested Jesse W. Weik, Of
Greencastle, on the charge that he has
been travelling on credentials issued TO him
as a postoffice inspector seven years ago.
Weik was i'll in bed when arrested and
could not be removed, and his recognizance
was taken before United States Commits
sioner Higgins for his appearance on Oct.
l. Weeks illness is the result of his fall
from the train, when. it is supposed, he
was trying to evade detection. Just how
WeilS came to be in possession of the
credentials so long after he had left the
service of the government is still mystery
to the authorities. When an inspector
leaves the service he is required to turn
in his credentials. Ii is said the govern
ment was apprised several months ago that
Weik was travelling on the credentials OF
an inspector, and the Postoffice Depart
ment has been trying to catch him ever
since.
