man Of %, bright and intelligent and
not bad looking. He gave his testimony
in a very straightforward manner.
KNEW HIM SINCE BoYHooD.
His folks now live at East Rush,
Susquehanna county, and he is en-
ployed at the Blakely poor farm. In
1900 his folks lived at Benton not far
from the Lewis place. He has known
Mrs. Ridgeway since he was a little
boy. He corrOborated Mrs. Ridgeway
about the occurrences Of July 4 and
denied that then or at any other time
had he improper relations with her.
He denied being in her bed room, in
the dark room and on the couch in the
sitting room with her and also denied
that Brownell saw him emerge from
the window of the servants room. His
relations with his employers wife had
always been Of the most proper char
acter and there had never been any
thing even in the way of great fan,il-
lar between them. Why Mrs. Lamor-
eaux, Skinnard. Lafayette. Brownell.
and Thomas williams should have tes-
titled as they did he could not UNDER
stand. None of them were unfriendly
to him so far as he knew.
Hamilton Gaumaer was called to
prove that Ridgeway's residence is in
Susquehanna county because he was
sick at Gaumaer's place last summer
but the court would not permit the evil
dence. On motion Of the attorneys for
Mrs. Ridgeway the testimony as to
cruel treatment will be taken from the
jury, that charge not having been made
out. Unfaithfulness is now the only
charge for the jurors to consider
The closing address for the defense
will be made today by Attorney JOS
eph O'Brien. Major Warren will make
the argument for the libellant. The
case will probably get to the jury about
noon.

AEiSt0cracy and Democracy.
In his Nantasket speech, the
Atlanta Constitution, Mr.. Bryan did
one thing for which, the democrats
and the country at large. may well
be thankfaL He freshened the col.
ors viwdly upon the contrastsd por.
traits Of the aristocrat and the DEM
ocrat as types, Of governmental
product any creed, In theology,
in science or 10 potitics, may be
best judged by The Kind Of men It
makes. Mr.. Bryan correctly iudg.
cd the pohcies ofrepIblicanism and
democracy by this method of meas.
urement.
The effect 0fbis e6ortisto present
us with the aristocrat-who is notone
by birth, inheritance Of privilege
and royal favor, but who obtains
bis position. powor and privileges
solely tbrodgh the logical agency
Of . party policy in the government
which eEalts the few at the expense
Of the Aasses. These aristocratsare
o recent aad growing class IN
America and their power over gov.
ernment, finance, industries and
national properties is wholly dis.
pfopOrtionste 10 their insignificant
numbers aDdactaally mallpersonal
stake in the greater interests of
true and just government, They
are the products Of triumphant re-
publicanism.
By contrast Mr.. Bryan shows that
democracy is the only wholesome
creed Of that indiwdualism which is
the insoger Of all governmental
equities. The only right policy
that oan secdre tbe greatest good to
all tire people Is that which consents
to no injustice 10 any individual Of
the mass. Rights belonging to The
cltlsens as such belong to the indi.
vidual as sacredly as to the comma
nltyoE tire anajoiity. Government,
even by party, ID never intended to
be government solely forthe party,
and specifically for party favoritss,
but should be- always held true to
the great cad of American policy
government of tire people, by the
people and tor the people, and as
equitably for one Of the people as
for all OF theml
The crgation OF a democratic
party ia thss nation was to secure
caaitp iu government. The coraer'
stoue Of the creed is "equal rights
10 all men ana special privileges TO
none" Every other stone built into
the party policy must square and
| line with ttsat one. By that best
smooth asbfsrali other propositions
approve their right to be cailied
democratic, or fail facceptance OF
such. And when Mr. Bryan recalls
4te country to the great fact that
sMe aana Is @Ctng controlled BY
aristocrats whose creation and pow.
er have been obtafned through the
violation Of that essential democrat
&c principle he does the democratic

on the Hunter branch fell through
the bridge crossing the St. Francis
River near WoppapeIlo, twenty-five
miles north Of here, at 8 o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
The bridge, which had been
weakened by the high water, was
unable TO stand the strain and as
the engine crossed gave way, pre-
cipitatng six cars into the stream
below. Conductor Frank Pomer.
oski, Brakeman Ed. Brown and
Will Gregory attempted to jump,
but were caught in the falling tim.
bers, Pomeroskl was killed outright
and the brakemen badly injured.
Conductor Pomeroski, whose
home is In Perryvllle, NO., had just
asked the company for a vacation
and bis wife was to meet him at
Puxico to accompany him home.
1t Is impossible to estimate the
loss. as the officials are very reticent
about furnishing any Information
regarding the wreck. The loss
will reach several thousand dollars.
