Expected With inspectors on Stand.

Cincinnati, Oct. 15-Standing room
was in demand in the United States
district courtroom on the second day
of the trial of Miller and Johns for
conspiracy in connection with the re-
Gently exposed postal frauds. Nine
witnesses were examined and the gov
eminent has four more TO call, SO that
the defense will not begin until this
afternoon and the case may not go
to the jury until the last day of the
week.
Much interest is being taken in the
anticipated appearance of the defend
ants on the witness stand The prin-
cipal witnesses were Ryan and the
officials from Washington. The de-
Tense was not taken by surprise until
in the afternoon, when the stenograph-
ic reports of the private secretaries
OF Fourth Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral Bristow and of General Robb of
interviews with Miller were intro.
duced as evidence.
Joseph T. Watson, secretary and
stenographer to the fourth assistant
postmaster general, testified to being
concealed in the Office of his chief
while General Robb and Chief Inspec-
tor Cochran had their first interview
with Miller about the reports of the
postoffice inspectors regarding the de-
cisions in the Ryan cases and the
discovery of his relations with Johns
He then read from his original steno-
graphic notes all that was said dur
ing the time these officials were thus
questioning Miller regarding the case.
The sensational appearance of Wat
son on the stand was followed soon
afterwards by Charles r. Robb. as
sistant attorney general for the post
office department, being called. and
he produced copy of the transcribed
stenographic notes of his secretary,
Mr.. Tullis. of another long interview
with Miller when the same parties
were present. At the first meeting of
Miller with Robb and Cochran the de.
PENDANT did not know that a stem
ographer was concealed in. the room,
as he did in the last ease when he
made an equally lengthy statement and
signed the report made by Mr. Tullis.
The extent of the detective work
that has been done in these cases by
the government was never disclosed
until during the afternoon session,
when verbatim reports of these inter
views of Miller were submitted in evil
denee, Notwithstanding the objection
and exception of counsel for the de-
Tense. 1t is now known that more of
the detective work of the government
will be disclosed when postoffice in
spectators take the stand.

SEEKING A SUBSTITUTE.
Future Supply of Ties for Roadbeds
Discussed by Railway Men.

Kansas City, Oct 15-Before the
national convention of the Roadmas-
tiers and Maintenance of Way associa-
ton w M. Camp, OF Chicago, spoke
of the necessity for finding a substi.
tute for the common railway ties.
THE vast requirements of railway
companies for ties" said he cannot
long be supplied from our domestic
sources if the present demand con-
tinues, and it is evident that some
measures must be taken to reduce the
demand or increase the life of the
tie. In fact, at the present rate of
consumption and destruction of lum-
Der by fire it is estimated that the
supply will practically be exhausted
in 80 or 40 years from now"

A Costly
Adventure
Toriglnall

IOriginall
When the Union Pacifc railroad was
finished to Laramie line Of coaches
took its passengers southwark to Den
yer. One evening the coach waited the
arrival Of the train; but, the station
agent receiving q telegram that the
latter was several hours behind time,
the former was sent out with but two
passengers, rancher and bis daugh-
ter. The girl had been east at school,
and her father was taking her home.
During the twilight the two enjoyed
the scenery from the coach window,
but when darkness came leaned back
on the cushion and each fell into
doze.
Suddenly they were aroused by the
crack Of a rifle, the breaks were put on
and the coach came to stop. Then,
after few words spoken roughly to
the driver the coach door was thrown
open and masked man thrust in his
head. In the darkness nothing bat his
form could be distinguished.
A masked man took the valuables Of
both, then said to the girl, "Have you
nothing else for mefs
There was no answer The girl was
too frightened to answer.
"Well. then,' continued the man, 'Tn
take your own sweet self"
At this the father went wild, beg
ging and pleading for his child.
"Calm yourself, my dear sir" said
the agent "Your daughter shall come
to no harm"
what do you want with herr"
Nothing except what she viii her
self wish Comel / can't be fooling
here" And, taking the girl by the
hand, he led her out of the coach.
There was something in the mans
voice that won her confidence, and her
fear left her. He seemed strangely
polite and tender hearted for road
agent. As soon as she had alighted
he lifted her on to a horse furnished
with a woman's saddle and, mounting
himself seized leading strap and
galloped away with her.
Meanwhile the Union Pacific train
reached Laramie, and the passengers
for Denver We're provided with an ex-
ira coach. There were half dozen
passengers, including a Denver banker
and bis niece. Most Of them were
Denver people, acquainted with one
another, and they We're having a mer-
ry time before settling to sleep, when
there was q hold up and they were or
dered to alight, line up and deliver.
One man did the work, though there
were others IN the background who did
not show themselves. When the val
uables had been collected the passen-
gers were permitted to return to the
coach. One, the niece Of the Denver
banker, Miss Frances Delaney. Jagged
behind and whispered to the road
