PAWNED HIS WATCH.
New Yory Attorney Did It Tn Order
 to Get Charter.

U
 to Get Charter.
 New York, Oct "A New York lawyer has been compelled to pawn his watch here to get a charter for the Whippany & Passiac River railroad company, says Herald dispatch from Trenton, N. J.
 When the attorney reached the state department he declared that he had come away without the money for the filing fees although he had brought $14,OOO for the certificate. He had but small amount of change in his pockets, and the corporation clerk in formed him that without the requisite $75 there could be no filing of the charter.
 The lawyer protested that the parties interested in the company were await ing telegram from him announcing the issuance of the charter in oroer that a meeting could be held at once. The court attaches were obdurate. however, and visit to the nearest pawn shop was mace. Here the neces- sary sum was realized and the charter was procured. A telegraph order for money soon arrived and the attorney redeemed his watch.
 The proposed railroad is to be seven miles long and capitalized at $315,OOO.

CRIMINALISTS' LAST SESSION
The Reading of Professor Liszt's Pa
 per Was the Feature.


 St Petersburg, Sept 21.-The clos ing session of the congress of crimln- aIists was marked by the reading of Professor Franz von Liszt's paper on .sThe Sociological Factors of Crimin- ality.' The criminality of the pres ent day differs, according to this great authority, from that of former times in a two-foId manner, conditioned by our social organization.
 1.-Through the crimes of the pro- letariat.
 2.Through the crimes of the neur- asthenics which are result of indus trial and commercial competition.
 The lawmaker cannot interfere in the normal development of society, but has . two-fold duty towards it's victims:
 I-To help those that are threat ened with destruction by the struggle for existence.
 2--Without either severity or weakness to exclude from society those who are past hope of improve ment.
 The resulting educational and elim- mating measures will form the crin1- inal policy of the future.
 The congress did not approve the advanced position of M c. Fellinoley, advocate general of the court of cas- sation, on the 'tWhite slave trade ' He demanded the punishment of those engaged in this traffic, even when the object of it is of age and when neither fraud nor constraint can be proven, on the ground that the law cannot recognize the validity of voluntary consent to the sale of human being. The congress, however, unreservedly supported the recommendations of the famous Paris conference on this sub- ject.

VIOLENCE STARTED EARLY.
When Railroad Tried to Run Cars Q
Order of Mayor.

Order of Mayor.
 New Orleans, Oct 7.-Violence start ed with the first attempt of the rail- of the mayor to run it's cars to-day. Just before o'clock the company started out three cars from the barns on Canal street. On each car, man. ned by nOn-union motorman, there was large force of policemen. Large crowds of strikers and sympathizers were on the streets. When the cars reached Miro street the tracks were blocked and when they came to a stop the crowd made an attack. Wire and ropes were cut and the cars were boarded. A pistol shot was fired and the non-union mOtOrmen attacked. One of them was badly cut. The po- lice seemed unable to cope with the situation.
 When the riot1ng had spent itself three cars were left standing upon the track guarded by policemen. All the windows in them were smashed and they were otherwise damaged. E. IT. Scheenick of Chicago, 3 conductor, was badly beaten. Some of the policemen were hurt by flying stones. As soon dS IHC hGWS OI IuG TlUC1uS TGdcuSu LuGe city hall the mayor issued a call for a meeting of the police board It is un- derstood that the object is to swear in emergency policemen.
 High officers of the military are in the city and preparing themselves in the event of call for the troops. Gov ernor Heard will only order out the militia when he is notified by Mayor Capdeville that the situation has be- come beyond the control Of the munich pal authorities.

CONTEsT IN NEW MILFORD

New Milford, Oct "A peculiar sit- uation has developed in the election here. Andrew p. Barnes, r, and J. l.. Buck, d, were candidates for first se- lectmen. Pastors were used in such a way as to give Barnes 4S6 votes for first selectman. Buck received total of 4SS votes, but all of the votes were not for the office of first selectman. The moderator declared Barnes elect ed, but the democrats protested and said that inasmuch as Buck received larger total than Barnes he should be declared elected. The case will be taken to the courts.

RUSSIAN DIPLOMACY.

eye vremya continues to proclaim it's dissatisfaction with Russian diplomacy in Turkey, which, it claims. should have barred the door to German rail- road enterprise. In order of import ance to Russia, this journal ranges the Balkans first, then Turkey, then Persia, and, lastly, the far east. The efforts of Russia have, however, been expended in inverse proportions so far as the last three are concerned Rus sia has made no commercial efforts in Turkey and has no Turkish trade worth mentioning.

To Abolish Slot Machines.

A bill has been introduced in the House
of Delegates to abolish slot machines.
These devices have about run their
course, and sooner or later they will give
nlace TO some new attraction. When first
introduced, several years ago, they were
extensively patronized by visitors to
saloons, and other places, but they
proved in the long run expensive play
things and there was soon a falling OIL
in their patrons. Like the harp in
Tara's Halls, their doleful music is now
but seldom heard and their capacious
msws yawn in vain for niekels which
fail to come their way.
