 CROSS EXAMINATION.
 Fentonio: How didst know of all these robberies?~
 Warrenicus: They mostly all did happen during mine hours of duty and on me beat.
 Fentonio: And whilst thou that beaten path of duty trod?
 Warrenicus: Just so, N'entonio.
 Fentonio: And what thy proof twas SOP
 Warrenicus: Oh, they did tell me how they had been touched, and them did believe.
 Fentonio: And what Treuf is that against Jolerius?
 Warrenicus: For fourteen years I've walked the beat, and from that I know Jolerius must have had touch, else he could not have been so calm when me daily reports were turned in.

 That conscience is that part of man tha5 hnrtS him wh9n his neigh Dor. does wrong?'
 That 20 sinEer is so intolerant as he who has just turned saint?
 That he who tries to prove too mach, proves notbing9. That the man who keeps his mouth shut never eats cr0w?- That every man should keep a good sized cemetery in which. to bury his own faults?
 That those who advertise virtue are only looking for the under hold.
 That it is bad enough to bite off more than you can chew. but that the real trouble. comes when you try to swal- low it..
 That about two-thirds of what one positively knows, is not so?; That every informer thinks when he dies there will be another Holy Ghost? That it is hard iob"to be just and be angry at the same'time2
 That the men who took Jonah's money were the same ones that threw him overheard?
 That if you take the conceit out of some persons there would be. nothing left to bury?

At our expense he'd, be skookum fellow, and in the lan- guage of the classics do not sabby his intent.

TIED TO POST AND BURNED.
Michael Sweeney cremated in Signal
Tower Near Niles. O.

Warren, o.. Jan. 27.-The body OF
Michael Sweeney, target man, was
consumed in fire. which destroyed the
tower In which he was at work, near
Niles early yesterday morning, and 1t is
believed the tragedy was the result OF
crime.
Railway men who reached the scene
before the flaming tower collapsed and
crumbled to the ground insist that
Sweeney had been robbed and tied to a
post in the little room before the struc-
ture was set afire.
Trainmen were attracted by the fire
and arrived too late to be of any help,
but they could see Sweeney reaching out
his hands in an appeal for rescue and
hear his means. He seemed to be max
ing vain efforts to reach the window,
and it is declared he could have escaped
had he not been bound.
The theory of murder and robbery is
sustained by the finding of bits of rope
in the debris after the fire and the fail
ure to find traces of money or of Swee-
ney's watch.
Sweeney was S5 years old and lived in
Columbus, where his mother resides
