TRAVEL BY TROLLEY.

Not little by little. but with mighty
strides the trolley is spreading its
meshes over the country. The lines
extending in all directions from the
cities meet local lines and so reach
further until. in the closing of the ever
shortening breaks, trunk lines are sud
denly established. Philadelphia is now
to be Joined to New York by trolley:
New York Joins Boston, and the troll
leys of Boston run to the uttermOst
parts of Cape Ann. Presto! The Phil
delphian can journey by trolley to
Gloucester and to where the cool
Lreezes sweep over Norman's Woe.
The trolley with all its progressive
ness means a reaction. and with all

wardjon's AssaiIants Unknown.

Denver. May "A Republican spe-
oitl from Salida last night says:
Organizer w NJ wardjon. who was
assaulted by three men at Sargents
Saturday evening. is resting easy to-
night at the Rio Grande hospital. He
is free from pain. according to state
ments of the hospital surgeon. The
doctors would not allow an interview
and no further statement could be Sc
cured from Wardjon tonight. DR.. kel-
Ter says that owing to the nature of the
bruises it will be several days before it
can be ascertained whether Wardjons
injuries are of really serious nature.
He is able to sit up in bed at times
and converses freely with the ply
sicians. He does not refer to the as
sault, however, unless the affair is
mentioned.
He is very quiet man." said one of
the doctors tonight. ''and it would be
difficult to find out from him just what
transpired before the assault"
Wardjon was expecting to be attack
ed at Salida. He wired the officers
here, asking them to meet him at the
train and remain with him and guard
him until he had transferred to the
standard-gauge here. He said he would
have felt safe after leaving Salida.
Wardjon has an hallucination that
he is going to be attacked in his room
in the hospital Why he should think
such a thing is mystery. unless he is
partly delirious. He asked the doctors
to-day to protect him from assault. as
he thought armed men would break
into his room. He was assured that no
attack would be made on him while
IN the hospital
Wardjon told the doctors to-day that
just before losing consciousness. after
being beaten, a stranger told him that
It was union men who beat him. This
he denied and said it was Reno men
who assaulted him.

She was not able to do her WORK and
could not even mend clothes or do
anything at all where she would have

a little hard work she would get such
pains that she would have to lie down
for the rest of the day.
81 persuaded her at last TO stop
drinking coffee and try Postum Food
Coffee and she did so and she has
used Postum ever since; the result
has been that she can now do her

He is still at Pittsburg, and has
charge of some special construction

can be learned it is not Eiikely that
Mr., Harrison will leave the employ
of the company entirely, but will
have no permanent office. but will
take contracts for special construction
work at different portions on the line.
He has been in the employ of the
company for a number of years, and
it was through his efficient and vain
able work that he attained his present

MRS. GRIFFITH'S PARDON
Effort Being Made to Secure Her
Release from Pen.
WAS SENT UP FOR FORGERY
Judge Faulkner Holds Petit Jury Over UofI
Next Wednesday Grand Jury
Witnesses Summoned.

i movement is on foot to secure the
pardon Of Mrs. Arabella Griffith. of
this city. who is now serving term
of two years in the state penitentiary
at Moundsville, where she was sent
last spring after being convicted in
the Circuit court here on charge of
forgery IL will be remembered that
the woman and her daughter, Mrs.
Frances Dixon, were both charged
with an attempt to secure . sum of
money bv means of forged signature
|of Mr.. George w. Buxton on note,
and botn were convicted after an in
teresting trial
At the time 1t was easily apparent
that the Dixon woman was at the
bottom of the conspiracy to dafraud
Mr.. Buxton. and thai the older wo-
man had been drawn into tho ugly
piece of business more through ignor-
anue than anything else.
Iu view CT the woman's age aud the
other circumstances Prosecuting At
torney Linsdav promised her to make
an effort TO secure her release, aud
he interested Judge Faulkner In the
matter, the latter writing reccom-
mendation for pardon to the sprison
board The result of the effort has
not vet been learned. but 1t is thought
that the application will receive
favorable consideration.
WITNESSES SUMMONED.
kThursdav the witnesses who wero
to appear before the grand jury in the
dynamite case on Saturday were sum-
moDed by the sheriff. The list in-s
cln 1es number of colored people,
whose testimony will probably result
in a speedy indictment against HoI-
| land.
Judge Faulkner Thursday adj
iourned the petit jury until wadnes-
day of next week, AS there was 70
work for the members before that
time. SO far there has not been
single case for the jury, but ii is
thought that there will be chance
on Wednesday. when it is believed
that Joseph Holland will be arraigned
for causing the death of John Harris
in the dynamite explosion. There is
no certainty, however, about the case
being set for trial on that day. III it
does not come up next week. it will
go over until the next term of court.
as Judge Faulkner will open the fall
session of the Mogan court the week
after that.
