A free for all' party was given by

AGAINST FREE PASSES.
Railroads Will Try to Abolish Free
Rides For Employees.


Chicago. July 22-It is rumored that
managers of a number of the larger
railroad systems are again agitating
quietly the abolition of passes for en-
pIoyes and members of their families.
The Pennsylvania has started a move
in this line by issuing an order to the
effect that hereafter employees in the
big shops at Pitcairn must pay SO per
month for their Communication tickets.
Heretofore these employees have been
furnished free tickets. For commute
ton tickets on this company's suburban
trains in and out Of Chicago employees
are required to pay a nominal cash
rate.
If reports are true railroad officers
are going to make a. strong effort be-
tween now and January I to get an
agreement among the roads abolishing
entirely all free transportation to en-
ployes and officials and members of
their families. Last year an attempt
was made to bring about such action
and officers OF all but about 1000 miles

Bevelle ran r. H. Ballard, a light
out of sight. BeVelle saw the youth
riding the sidewalk, which is contrary
to an ironclad ordinance of the flower
city of the west. As is his custom in
such cases, Mr.. Bevelle requested Bal
lard to halt. The yong man put spurs
or something else to his steed, with
view of vanishing from the trouble
some and meddlesome officer who,
divining his intention, started a race
which lasted about four blocks. Each
did his best, and honors were even at
the quarter post, but things looked
doubtful for the Wheelman on the
halfway lap. At the three-Quarter
post the leader became nervous, and
just as they went under the wire the
cyclist forsook his steed and made a
sprint through a barn. The perspirfng
policeman arrested the wheel, and an
hour later a sheepish looking youth ap-
peared at the station and paid 81 fine.
T. c. Try is the name of the most IN
fortunate man on East Second street.
He was brought into the police station
Saturday night and charged with being
full, too full for utterance Before he
could deny the unjust charge another
officer arrested him for selling the same
grade of stuff he had so freely imbibed.
The police admit that he did not sell his
entire stock. as his system was thor
ougl ly saturated with the greater por-
llon thereof.
Frank Addy was arrested for assault
ing his mother. Directing to her pres
ence, he gave her chase up the street
brandishing a club and making re-
marks derogatory to his maternal ances-
tor. Officer Henderson had grown tired
of the frequent occurrences of this per-
Torrance, and demonstrated to Mr.
Addy the vast difference between a. de-
fenseless old woman and a healthy
peace officer. Mr. Addy's mother will
probably get a brief rest of several
days.
Robert Marshall, who is a colored
gentleman when sober, and well liked
by those who know him, is extremely
otherwise when under the influence OF
spirituous liquors. He used some ungen-
tlemanly language at the transfer sta
ton Sunday. and was assisted to the
police station by Officer Aye. He il
sober today but his silk hat shows the
effect of his celebration.

however, who will endeavor to make
their ambitious aspirations a failure,
and Pierce's success in obtaining con-

and the State government does not
exactly agree with Seattle's digestion,
nor are the Eastern countries over
well pleased with the claims made by

it only serves to give the cue for other

long into a grotesque "Comedy of
