The Carrolton Democrat in giving | last General Assembly appropriated a sketch of the kind of campaign to part of March, 1895. demands against this appropriation during the months of July, August, September, October, November and December amounted to $161,367.42 These figures will serve to indicate the enormity of the defici: ney which the next General Assembly will haye to proyide for. I have bad occasion before to re fer to this matter in the columns of The Times. The sum of $262,000 appropriated by the last General Assembly to pay criminal costs for the year 1883, and the same sum for the year 1894, aggregating $525,000 forthe two years mentioned, will fall short not less than $150,000. [ want to repeat what I said before, and that is, that one half this sum is due to the change of venue laws laws as they now stand pernicious in all respects. They not only cause the tax-payers expense wholly un reasonable, but are the daily cause of delays of justice. ‘hese laws as they now exist are against the tax- payers and in favor of the law breakers. Take a case, for instance, which is an illustration of the workings of the present system. A. 1s indicted for grand larceny. He is arrested, arraigned and his case set for trial. Witnesses are subpoenaed and the ‘case prepared for trial. into court on trial day with a mo ‘tion for a continuance. Nine times out of ten he will at the first term make such a showing that the trial court has to grant the continuance At the next term of the court, to which the witnesses are again called, #fhe concludes his chances for a continuance are bad, he will “take a change of venue,” for his power to do so is absolute. He has merely to say he can’t get a fair trial in the county wherethe crime is charged to have been committed, get two persons to unite with him in this affidavit, and it becomes imperitive on the trial court to grant the change. His case is then sent to a new jurisdiction.. When the case is reset in the new county for trial the witnesses tre again called, with mileage and per diem charges. If he dont want to go to trial when trial day comes, he then swears he can’t get a fair trial before the regu- lar judge, and gets two persons to unite with him in this, it then be- copes imperitive in the trial judge to give way to another judge. » If the regular judge concludes to call in a regular judge from another circuit, he has to wait till one can attend, for all the regular judges have their own courts to hold, and extra work can only be performed | when their own work is over. So in He comes a majority of cases this will work) another continuance. It may be that a regular judge can't be had at all, and that the judge sworn against will make of necessity an order to elect a special judge by the lawyers present. Then the defendant, bis lawyers and friends start out to elect their candidate for special judge, for the defendant always has a candidate when a special judge is to be elected. If the defendant's candidate is elected the defendant rately loses anything he wants to gain. It is seen by this illustration that five terms of court come and go before the defendant is brought to trial. Meantime the costs have accrued, the officers of the court have done their work, the witnesses have at- tended. and all have to be paid by ‘the public. The tax-payers of Mis souri pay yearly $350,000 costs in Last year the} Senator Vest will open the cam-} paign Coke will participate also, and Col. Carrol ex- | pects that Vice President Stevenson, Speaker Crisp, Senator Daniel of Virginia, aud Representative Baily of Texas will make a few speeches in the state. Mr. Wilson of West Vir- ginia, chairman of the ways and means committee, will make a speech at Kansas City soon after the ad- journment of congress. Other em- ment speakers from abroad will par ticipate too, and all the home talent will be called on. Colonel Carrol says that Goyer- nor Stone aud ex-Governor Francis, and their friends will be expected to take the stump the coming cam- paign. He says that the campaign will be conducted squarely on the Kansas City platform It seems that a report was sent abroad saying that the managers of the campaign exhibited a tendency to ignore the platform adopted at Kansas City, but Col Carrol says that it is a feint of the enemy, that every democrat in the state stands squarely on the platform adopted at Kansas City and the contest will be fought on that line. there.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 19.—The [crew of a Tebigh Valley freight train had a narrow escape from death this moruing. They were saved by the prompt action of the engineer, John Titus, The engine, with three freight cars, was going down a heavy grade near Miner's Mills at the rate of about thirty miles an hour. Titus was at the throttle, and was keeping asharp lookout ahead. The track was clear for nearly a mile. Sud- denly the entire roadbed a few yards in front of the engiue settled down, leaving the rails and ties skeleton-| ized for several yards. At the rate the train was running, and on the down grade, Titus realized he could not stop the train in time, and he opened thethrottle wide. The train jumped forward, and, gaining impe- tus in the few yards separating it) from the hole, flew over the unsup-| ported rails, and before its weigth | could displace them was on the other | side. The train was stopped, and the crew hurried back. The ground was still sinking, and the hole was} fully thirty feet across. They could not see the bottom. It was over an old mine working. Several veins had been worked out, and the tim- bers supporting them gradually rot- ted until they gave way. | Evietions.
