HIS BLACK RECORD
A Pious Criminal Whose Skill ana
Daring We're Boundless.

Within the walls Of the Philadelphia
Hospital the curtain is slowly falling
on the life drama Of man who tor
more than half century has figured
in the police annals OF the country as
criminal whose skill and daring
knew no bounds. At siXty-two, bent,
bowed an crippled, Jimmy" Logue,
who in the heyday Of his career count
ed his money by the thousands and
drove his coach and pair like gentle
man. has come back to his native city
to die. His ill-gotten wealth has taken
wings. and only the kindness Of Phil
adelphia's Mayor has saved him from
ending his days in the Almshouse. AS
it is, there is but shade Of difference
between the hospital and the Aims
house. Both are under one roof, but
as an inmate Of the hospital Logue is
able to escape the stigma of the city
pauper.
When the old man first came back to
his former hauntS, about two weeks
ago, penniless and sick, he threw him.
self on the mercy Of his former enem-
ies--the police-who sent him to the
Almshouse. His pride rebelled, ard
the first day he was able to get out he
tottered downtown and into the May
or's office. Mayor Ashbridge, who
knew him in other days, was moved by
his pitiful plea, and he ordered that
the old man should be given q cot and
medical treatment. Sobbing his thanks
Jimmy" Logue went back to the insti'
tuition. which he will probably never
leave alive.
I.ogue's life story is a wild romance
OF crime. and one who sees the ole
man to-day will hardly believe the
things the police records tell about
him. His personal character has beer
as odd as his career. Down in his breast
he had the instincts Of pious man
who never forgot the lessons he hac
learned at the knees of Christian
mother. True, he did not heed them
but the maternal teachings lived in HI:
memory. To-day he speaks reyerentlJ
of his mother as God-fearing woman
and to-day this crime-stained veteran
never closes his eyes in sleep withou
! a fervent prayer to the Almighty. L

says epigrammatically:

BRYAN IN THE EAST.
What a New England Paper Says
About It

The reports Of Bryan audiences and
the impression he makes iu the east
that are given in the anti-Bryan and
partisan goldbug press must be taken
with grains Of allowance for natural
prejudice. A free lance correspondent
Of the Springfield Republican says it is
quite amusing to watch thc s",icS OF
so-called Democrats who boiled Bryan's
nomination in 1896. Either their SUBJ
servicncy to the trusts, or their iuocula-
,ion with the virus Of imperialism, or
their prejudice leads them to dodge and
shun the Democratic leader, but they
are all afraid Of him. Continuing his
own comment Of Mr. Bryan in the east,
the correspondent says: lie is neither
mystery nor ipiquity-still less the
scri!,u.:I mystery Of iniQuity that you
might suppose, from reading the little
digs Of the monopolist newspapers and
plu'ocratic dinner-speskers. He is a
sturdy, youthful, earnest American citi-
zen-not shivering for fear Web"
Davis should tell Kruger what the peo-
pie here think Of him, nor standing on
his dignity like Joannes PArvabraccatus,

backs on him, the common people hear
him gladly, aud are going to vote for

way to astonish the syndicates and
stock-gamblers, and boss-led politi-
clans who believe he is a weak candi-
date. They will find him very strong

WIITERog's DogM3goaY.
The Senate Passes the Housa Bill to
Build It,

The Winthrop dormitory appropria-
tion bill which passed the House sew
eral days before vas taken up in the
Senate on Wednesday. The bill pro-
vides for the appropriation of S35, 900
and the use of one hundred convicts.
Senator Graydon opposed the bill and
moved to strike out the enactirg
words. He thought the reports Of pros
perity had been exaggerated and this
matter ought to wait. The appropria-
tions and expenses have been in
creased. The bill provides for 100 con-
victs to be used while written state
ment of the superintendent shows
there are only l07 convicts available,
including the lame, halt and maimcd.
Senator W. A. Brown said if he did
not think the dormi.orles were needed,
he would oppose the bill. The college
is DO longer an experiment and every
year numbers Of girls are turned away.
lie proposed to vote for every measure
to forward education whether in col.
leges or common schools. South sCaro
lima is not so poor that she cannot ed
ucatc her girls. Millions have been
spcut on the boys and very little on the
girls. He hoped the senate would
grant at least the So 500 for the dormi-
tory. They were not welded 10 the
provision requiring the use Of coDvicts.
Senator Henderson said for three
years the trustees have felt that the
dormitory was necessary to complete
this grand institution. He trusted
there would be 10 hesitation in passing
the resolution with the second section
stricken out.
Senator Ragsdaic said the old cry
used to be for horizontal reduction but
now it w.s becoming horizontal in
crease. 1t was getting TO be consider
ed out of place to speak for the poor
man. and it was considered sdemagogic
to talk for tie taxpayer. After awhile
the taxpayers won't be able to pay the
taxes. All that IS necessary is to say
a purposes is laudable and the appro-
priation is given. This matter can wait
and the time may come when we will
be able to make this appropriation. The
burden of taxation is very heavy and
we should do everything to alleviate il
and nothing to increase it.
Senator Graydon withdrew his motion
to strike out the enacting words in or,
der that Senator Glenn might move to
amend by striking out section 2, which
gave the use of 100 convicts. The bill
was so amended and Senator Ragsdale
renewed the motion to strike out the
epacting words, with the result that
the motion was lost by vote Of 80 tc
s, as follows:
Yeas-Alexander, Archer, Graydo

NEW MACHINE.
To Run a Locomotive and Furnish
Fresh Air at the Same Time.
reading,


If all is true that August Peters, re.
Gently Of Chicago, claims for a ma
chine he has invented. he can not only
run a locomotive or q steamship but
can supply the steamer or the tran
with fresh air-with cold air for the
furnace rooms and ice for the storage
deDartments-and, to cap it all, it runs
itself, he says. 3fr. Peters to-day
showed his machins in working order.
To outward appearance the apparatus
looks like an immen3ice chest, but
as soon as the doors are opened mass
Of piping is revealed. At the back Of
the chest is cylinder and a force
pump. BY means Of an electric motor
air is forced through the cylinder and
force pump into storage chamber,
and thence through series Of pipes
surrounded with ice. TO start the ma
chine in action to its fullest power, it
must be loaded with 80 pounds Of ice.
After that it makes it's own ice.
Mr.. Peters says the machine IS the
nearest thing to perpetual motion ey-
er invented; that it will furnish motive
power to ocean steamships; that the
one he now has working at 113 Bed
ford avenue, Brooklyn, will easily run
a $500 horse power marine engine;
that it will at the same time provide
fresh, dry air for a ship at the rate
Of 1000 square feet per minute and
simultaneously manufacture ice at the
rate Of 1900 pounds an hour.
Slightly modified, Mr.. Peters says,
his machine, as it now stands in his
Brooklyn workshop, could be fitted in-
to the Holland submarine boat and
enable the crew of that boat to re-
main under water indefinitely.
When Mr.. Peters started the ma
chine in action strong current of air
was expelled from the escape vent so
cold that in few minutes the temper
ature Of the shop was greatly reduced.
He said it was an easy matter to bring
the temperature Of the surrounding at
mosphere down to 80 degrees below
zero, and that he could get it down to
200 degrees below zero inside the ice
box. There was no ice in the ma-
chine at the time Of the exhibition.
BY means Of an air tank placed
above the machine a sufficient amount
Of compressed air was constantly be-
ing stored, which would keep the ap-
paratus running indefinitely, said Mr..
Peters.
Peters moved to Brooklyn three
months ago from Chicago, where he
said he had lived for 81 years.-N. \.

JIMMY LOGCE.

two years thirty-four have been spent
behind prison bars in various parts OF
the country. His criminal career must
have begun early, for at the age OF ten
he was sent as an incorrigible to the
House Of Refuge.
Much Of the romance OF Logue's life
lies about his marriage to his third
wife. Johanna Cans, with whose MUIR
der he was once charged. Logue had
previously been married twice, his last
wife being a sister Of Johanna. The
third wedding was enc Of the most ro-
mantle in local history.
Logue had just been sentenced to
seven years hard labor for one of his
many misdeeds when he asked permis-
sion to be welded before he went to
iail. Johanna Logue, his sister-in-law,
was in court, and the law soon made
her and the convict man and wife.
She was faithful wife and waited pa
tiently until her new husband stepped
from the doors Of Cherry Hill in 1878.

description Of that day he says. among
other things:
Begin the woe, ye woods, and tell it to

And doleful winds wall to the heWling
And bowling hills mourn to the dismal
wales,
And dismal wales sigh to the sorrowing
brooks,
And sorrowing brooks weep to the

Ye heavens, great archway of the uni

And ocean, robe shyself in garb of
widowhood
And gather all thy waves into a groan
and utter it
Long, loud, deep, piercing, dolorous,

angels come to lay her in her grave.

NO BIENNIAL SESSIONS.
Thirteen Senators Refuse to Allow
the People to Vote On II.

1t seems that thirteen Of the State
Senators are afraid to trust the people,
as they voted against submitting a
proposition for biennial sessions 10
them to vote on. The question came
up in the Senate on Wednesday. Sen
ate Blakeney addressed the Senate in
favor OF the bill. He said that all the
members liked to come to Columbia,
but personal considerations should be
laid aside. There were only two con-
siderations. Would this change Grip
pie the government and would the saw
Ing be sufficient to compensate for any
disadvantages. The weight of argu-
ment is for submitting the question to
the people. Thirty-siI Of the States
have this system and if they get along
very we'll, so can we, If any emergency
should arise the governor could call a
session. But We have statesmen Of
sufficient foresight to l'ok two years
ahead. The constitution provided
against local legislation, yet notwith-
standing that there is too much legisla-
ton; so much that it is impossible to
keep up with it. There are many
measures proposed Of no practical utlli-
ty, aud it seemed that they were pro-
posed merely to furnish matter for
home consumption. Biennial sessions
would save $4,000 to 100000. The
people should pass on this question.
Senator Graydon agreed that this is
au important measure, but did not
agree with Senator B.akeney's conclu.
sions. He thought it was necessary to
have frequent sessions. He had been
told he people Of Georgia were sick of
biennial sessions; that Georgia does
not really have biennial sessions, as
they have adjourned sessions. The
same is true of North Carolina. He
thought no senator introduced mes
ure unless it was demanded by his peo-
pie or for their good. Biennial ses-
sions might do if the State officers
terms were four years. Frequent as
semblages Of the representative men of
the State does great good in promoting
harmony and good feeling among the
people. He was opposed to the bill
because he did not think there is any
demand for it.
Senator Sheppard moved that vote
be taken Immediately, which was
done, with the result that the resolu-
ton did not receive two-thirds vote,
which the chair held was necessary to
pass the resolution tothe third reading.
The vote stood 26 to l3, as follows:
Yeas-Aldrich, Appeit, Archer,
Barnwell, B.akency, Bowen, W. A.
Brown, Conror, CrossoD, Dean, Den

Fought For Young Women.

George Russman and Roy Lewis,
two employees in lumber camp near
Mdidletown, Md, have long been des-
perate rivals for the affections Of q
pretty young woman who lives near
the camp. She was unable to choose
between them, and finally told them
they could fight it out, she agreeing to
become the wife of the victor. The
combatants, after going through the
forma lities of selecting referee and
time.keper, went at each other. IN
the third and last round Russman
came up much refreshed and made a
dive for Lewis. The latter. finding his
strength failing. he called on the Sec
onds to take Russman away and he
would give up.
Hence the referee was obliged to de-
clare Lewis knocked out and to award
the championship and the young lady
to RuSsman.

How She Disposed of Her Legacy.


Some time ago a woman died at Den
dermonde. near Ghent. leaving the
whole Of her property to her nelce. Ro-
salie V. The latter was constantly
worried by the other members OF the
family, who had been excluded from
the inheritance.
Recently the young woman received
the amount Of the legacy, consisting Of
TWENTY-FIVE 1,000-franc notes $4,000
and the deed of house. In the after
noon the disappointed relatives again
visited her. and worried her to such an
extent, that, losing Ill control over her
self, she picked up the deed and the
whole Of the bank notes and threw
them into the fire.
In a few moments nothing remained
of the little fortune but few ashes.
