MATTERS POLITICAL.

John c. Roche, agent of Casey &;
Kelly, is out for the Democratic NOM
ination for representative in the Sec
ond legislative district. Fred Kirchoff
has Withdrawn from the race, leaving
]. F. Hammes and Fred Phillips to
combat the new conner. Mr.. Hammes
is chairman of the district committee
and thereby is empowered to appoint
the vigilants in all except one or two
districts, which alone took the trouble
to elect and return vigilants. Much
depends on the personnel of the vigil
ants, as the primaries are likely to at
tract few voters, and the appointments
of Chairman and Candidate Hammes,
in consequence, will be anxiously
awaited. He said, yesterday, he would
probably announce them next Friday
through the newspapers. The primar-
les will be held Monday next, and the
convention the following day.

WERE NON-COMMITTAL.
Coroner's Jury Evades the Question
Of Responsibility in the Case Of
Marcus Dillon.

AS far as the coroners jurys finding
is concerned, the inquest went for
naught in the case of Marcus Dillon,
| the 4-year-old boy, who was killed July
|S, at the Parker street crossing by
being run down by Delaware and
| Hudson passenger train. The verdict
was simply: 1--WE find that the said
| Marcus Dillon came to his death by
being struck by a Delaware and Hud-
son passenger train at the Parker
street crossing, July 8. 1902" The ques-
tion of possible negligence was evaded.
| From the testimony adduced at the
hearing last night and the one preced-
ing it, some few weeks ago, it is doubt
full If the jurors would be warranted in
| coming to any conclusion on the ques-
tion Of culpability.
| Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Dover of S42
Capouse avenue, started out for a drive
In single carriage about o'clock on
| the evening in question. The Dillon
boy, the child of neighbor, was play
Ing about the carriage, when they were
preparing to start off, and with the
consent Of his mother, Mrs. Dover took
him along.
In attempting to drive over the Della
ware and Hudson tracks at Parker
street, an hour later, the carriage was
struck by a north-bound passenger
train and all three occupants were
badly injured. The Dillon boy died
shortly afterward. Mr.. Dover had his
arm broken and Mrs. Dover was badly
bruised and cut.
At the first hearing in the inquest
four witnesses testified that the horse
continued on a trot the whole length
of Parker street and that no stop was
made before going on the crossing.
Last night, Mr.. Dover testified that
he reined in the horse at Amelia ave-
nue., about one hundred feet from the
! crossing, and looked and listened for
an approaching train. He then drove
on at a slow trot and the horse was
just about on the crossing when the
train came down upon them. The horse
made three plunges to the right and
forward and drew the carriage on the
track. He heard no bell or whistle
until the engine was practically on top
of them, when there was shrill blast
Of the whistle, which caused the horse
to plunge,
Mrs. Dover testified that she heard
no whistle or bell, and did not see the
train until it was a few feet distant
She grasped her husbands arm, made
startled exclamation, and tainted
She knew nothing more until several
days later. when she regaihed her
senses in the Lackawanna hospital.
The witnesses were examined at
length by Coroner Saltry, and cross
examined, in the interests of the COM
pany, by Attorney ]. H. Torrey.
The jurors We're John Devanney,
Owen Barrett, Thomas F. Lotus, Ed
ward F. Morris, John ]. Watt and P. j.
Gilloegly.

A Point to Insist On.

ing people who go regularly from New
York to Chicago and vice versa several
times a MONTH who have never gone
over any other road but the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern, because
this road is good enough for them. It's
good enough for anybody, the fastest,
safest, most convenient and most COM
Portable road in America. Once you
travel over the Lake Shore and you will
not want to experiment with any other
road. People who know the comforts
and discomforts of travelling, and what
they have a right to expect always
insist on their tickets reading by way
OF the Lake Shore. So should you. ~

1t is common assertion by Re-
publican stumpers. big and little.
those who should know better and
others whose ignorance may be ex-
cused, that the panic of 1893 was
due to the Wilson tariff. Judge
Pennypacker has made this state
ment repeatedly. What are the
facts? The striking one is that
the Wilson tariff was not enacted
until fourteen months after the
panic of 1898 President Cleveland
was elected President in the fall of
1892. He took office in March,
1898 The panic came on three
months later. 1t was plainly due
to the follies of Congress in 1890,
during the Harrison administra-
ton, especially to the Sherman sill
yer bill, to the repeal of the sugar
duties under the Mckinley tariff,
and to the new pension law passed
at that time. These measures
caused a deficit which compelled
the secretary of the treasury to use
the gold reserve to meet the de-
mands on the treasury. The pub
lie anticipated this result by pre-
senting greenbacks for redemption.
The panic started that way. There
was no Wilson bill until the fol.
lowing year. Some think Mr..
Cleveland might have prevented
the drain of gold from the treas
ury if he had used silver as we'll as
gold in :. redeeming greenba backs.
The Republicans are not in a posi-
tion.to censure Mr.. Cleveland for
adhering to the gold Standard
