TIES ON THE TRACK.
Attempt to Wreck Colonial Express
Near Mansfield-Th Man Arrested.

Attlcboro. Mass, May 20.-The timely
discovery of a large pile of ties placed
on the tracks of the New York. New
Haven & Hartford Railroad by man
of unsound mind prevented a disaster
to the Colonial Express, this forenoon.
The attempt to wreck Il train was de
tected by Fred Rand, a Mansfield
baker who after clearing the tracks,
lust in time to save the express which
was running at the rate of 50 miles an
hour. dubbed the train wrecker into
submission and caused his arrest.
The attempt was made at point be
tween SINNERS Crossing and Mansfield
station. The prisoner gave his name as
Michele VinchiO. 80 years of age. He is
n Pole and is unable to speak English.
When he was later identified by the
railroad detectives, it was learned that
he recently made an attempt to wreck
Il train at Quinebaug by placing a num-
Der of large stones on the track there.
y train ran into the obstruction and al
though no one was hurt, the locomotive
was partially demolished. Since that
time attempts have been made to
wreck trains on the Consolidated SyS-
TEN at Middleboro Junction and at
Taunton. The railroad believe that
Ninchlo is responsible for these at
tcmDts.
Deputy Sheriff Henry Perry of Mans
field. took Vinchlo in charge. DR.. Lat
ham of Mansfield. examined the pris-
Oner and pronounced him of unsound
mind. A warrant having been issued
against him he was taken before Judge
Bryan in the district court. On the
strength of DR.. Latham's statement
that NimChlo was of unsound mind, the
court ordered the prisoner placed in the
custody of the selectmen at Mansfield
to which place he was taken.
The train which Ninchlo attempted to
wreck. today, consisted of nine Pull
man and express cars. There We're
aboard Il large number of passengers
bound for Boston, Bar IarbOr, Me, and
eastern points from Washington, Phil
udclpha and the South. 1t is probable
that Vnchlo will be sent to an asylum.

Bisbee daily review., 1903-03-31
BE FAIR. GENTLEMEN.

The Review believes the members of the city council of Bisbee want to be fair with the taxpayers. We fur. ther believe that no member of the council would, for oife instant, retain a cent of the city's money, as salary if they had not been advised that un- der the law they could do so. But the opinion of the legal adviser of the aldermen is in error. We make this statement advisedly after thorough investigation and upon the legal opinion of a score of the most learned lawyers in Arizona, among whom are Ex-Judge Owen T. Rouse, Ex-Judge A. c. Ba ker, John c. Herndon, w. c. McFar land and B. J. Edwards. These men stand at the head. of the legal profes sion in Arizona and they all unite in the same opinion that under the law by which Bisbee was incorporated, the aldermen have no legal right to vote themselves salaries.
 On the one hand the council has the opinion of the city attorney; on the other the Review is in possession of the opinion to the contrary. Will the council contend for minute that the city attorney is correct and such lawyers as Rouse, Baker, Herndon and Mcfarland are wrong?
 If the members of the council insist in the courts of this testimony, would any one of them accept the opinion of the city attorney of Bisbee as against the opinion of two ex-iudges of the su. preme court?
 The council decide this question for themselves. The law is plain and he who runs may ready Certainly the members do not wish to be placed in the light of receiving money to which they have no legal right. It is natu- ral that the council should hesitate be- fore renewing their former action, but when they become convinced that they are not legally entitled to draw sala- rles rom the city treasury the honor able action to take would be the abol- ishment of that ordinance providing for their salaries.
 The question in a nut shell is this. The city council of Bisbee has been wrongly advised. There is no law on our statutes providing for the pay ment of salaries 10 aldermen in cities having less than s3,000,00o assessed valuation. If the council is not satis- fled with the opinions quoted by the Review let them take the matter into the courts in a friendly suit for final decision. The question is up to the council Be fair, gentlemen.

THE RELIEF AND

 Tn tEe rooms of the relief and aid committee to distribute funds contrib uted to sufferers by the great Chicago dre of 1871 Edward Tucker, commit teeman, sat writing.
 Can you tell ne how to secure aidT' Tucker looked up into the kindly. pa tient face of an old woman who wore a faded threadbare dress that many years before must have been costly.
 Have you been burned out, mad sm?" he asked.
 Well, DO, not exactly, but We are somewhat straitened in our circum- stances. My husband was a banker. lie died many years ago and left us without anything to live 0n. and' (con- hdentiallyy T wasn't brought up right. My father had been rich. l couldn't take hold for myself"

 "Exchange check for that, please, payable to Mrs. Ralph B. Plumber"
 The check was duly made out. and Tucker went Jo his room 10 prepare for dinner, which he usually took at his club. As be entered he sighed. No one was ever in the room but him. self and servant. It was 8 dreary place, though it was handsomely fur nished. Tucker sat down and brooded for awhile. as he had brooded many a time before, on the fact that with all his means for the procurement of a home he had no home. Why was he not married: There were dozen wo- men among the wealthy people with whom he moved who had angled for him. Perhaps it was because they an gled that he did not care to marry them.

ROUGH STATEMENTS.

Jerome, New York's efficient dis trict attorney, though noted for his sane opinions and incisive truthtell- ing, sometimes cuts too hastily, leav- ing the truth in the raw as it were. h addressing the Central Federated Unions few days ago he said: "The capitalists want all they can get and the labor organizations want all they can get, and the stronger will win and ought to win. Don't accept any wishy washy stuff about the brother hood of man or economic forces or in- herent rights. If you are strong, you win; if you are not, you lose"
 Here. MT. Jerome somewhat say aeefy gives the impression that the principle of fitness and supervisorship should be the sole force controlling cur human affairs. Ii he is literally right, then let the strong devour the weak, let "annihilation" be the cry. and let us ignore the existence of rights" Combine capital and com bize labor and let them fight it to death and the survivors fight between themselves. Doubtless he did not in tend to be taken thus literally.
 Surely the strong will and the strong should win. But strength is not brute force on the one hand or the grinding power of wealth on the other. It will be strength resting fundamen- tally on a knowledge of economics. Live nd let live" will be an ultimate principle. The strength will not be built upon 'wishy-washy" notions of the brotherhood of man." but upon sci ence tempered with genuine humani- tarianism. The strong" and the weak" distributed as they are ac- cording to the great human scheme, are mutually interdependent. The science of men. the one science above all, will come to measure them not by contrast and antithesis but by va. rying degrees of strength. All men wu be strong when they but come to realize it. How weak we should all Be if We we practiced literally the pEancipal of survivorship.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT IN ARIZONA.

The itinerary of the Presidents tour through the west has been given out and the President of the United States will be in Arizona on May 9th and 9th. His stay in this territory will be con fined to the northern part, when under an escort of Rough Riders. Rangers etc, he will visit the Grand Canyon ol the Colorado, and on horseback see the beautiful picturesque scenery oi that wild landscape.
 Bisbee. always in the lead in public matters, is going to organize a party composed principally of veterans oi the Spanish American war, who will journey across the territory in a prir yate car inorder to extend to the President a cordial welcome on the part Of Cochise county.
 The President will be received in Arizona with that open hearted west ern hospitality so characteristic of our people. His stay at the Grand Can. sOa SAOdAA OC OAS VI kANoouaS hhN -OA . remembered. He will find himself surrounded by men with whom he fought side by side on Cuban soil and who entertain for the chief executive the highest mark of esteem and good will.
 The Review regrets that the Presi- dent will be unable to make a longer stay in Arizona. We would desire him to see with his own eyes the falsity of the statement made by cer tain Investigating committee which played three night stands in Arizona last December. Roosevelt is a fair man and open to conviction, but that can not be said of the Junior Senator from Indiana and his colleagues.
 Arizona will welcome the chief exec. utor of the nation in a manner befit- ting his station. and with his Rough Rider friends We believe his short stay at the Grand Canyon of the Colorado will be one of the most pleasant incl. dents of his trip.
Bisbee daily review., 1903-03-31

And now it is said that your Uncle Grover is arranging for swing around the circle. With President Roosevelt and Ex-President Cleveland both making speeches practically on the same circuit and that in the coun- try where Mr. Bryan is supposed to be the strongest. the Commoner ought not to be at a loss for something to fl its columns. Bryan might allow Teddy to pass through Nebraska without taking a shot at him, but he will surely fire on Grover if he comes within range.
Bisbee daily review., 1903-03-31

It has been definitely decided that the President will be only one day in Arizona and that will be at the Grand Canyon. This will be unfortunate. While there is great industry and rich mines in northern Arizona still we believe the President would be more impressed with Arizona's pros. perity could he visit Bisbee, the. ter ritory's greatest mining camp and the splendid cultivated districts in the Gila and Salt River valleys.
 The Arizona Republican is in the throes Of a virtucus spasm over the fact that the legislature paid for some printing. The economy of the Repub- lican comes fate in the day and after it has gotten from the treasury of Arizona during the last few years something in the neighborhood of $50. 900, at exorbitant rates. A demo cratic paper that has enjoyed a graft like this could afford 10 talk about economy too.-Enterprise.

The proposed issuance of bonds for better fire protection is one that ef- fleets every property holder within the city limits. Strictly speaking, Bis bee is without any adequate protec, tion against fire at present Insur ance rates are eXorbitant and in some price. The council after an inyesti gatioD and correspondence with insur ance companies have eudeavored to plan to correct this evil. It is the bounden duty of every citizen to up hold the council in their action for the betterment of the community.
