Objections to Prohibition. Prohibition, whether constitutional cr by statute law, Is liable to very serious objec tions: First. In spirit it is anti-chrlstiaii. It Is based upen a theory which contradicts or perveils Holy Scripture; a theory which would brand as criminal acts miracles and commands of the Son of God. Nor does It savor of the freedom of christlanlt), but much rather of the Jewish rabbinical code, Touch not, taste not, handle not." It accords with Buddhist and Mohammedan rules; but with neither the letter nor the spirit of the Now Testament. Second. In spirit It is anti-American. Sumptuary laws are alien to tho genius of free government. Americans are not ac customed to the Idea that a supposed ma jorlty may virtually dictate what thecitizen may or may not eat and drink. Individual rights are sacred. Third. It Is unnecessary. Prohibition Is urged as an anti-saloon measure. But It is really a good deal more. The police powei of the State, under our present constitution. is ample to tax, restrict, regulate or even abolish as nuisances all the open bars. But prohibition proposes lo make it a crime lo manufacture or sell, In any circumstances. beverages containing alcohol. It makes no discrimination between good liquor and bad, dltlllcd liquor and fermented, swill-beer and beer like English home-brewed. It makes no distinction between dales lo drunk ards and minors, who need the protection of the Stale, atid sales to respectable and self-controlled citizens, in recard to whom State Interference is tyrannical and imper tinent. It proposes not oulv to close bar rooms but to outlaw and forbid legitimate tralllc. It proposes by force to regulate per sonal habits and domestic economy. It proposes to make it a crime for a grocer or wholesale dealer to sell a pint of whiskey or a case of wine to a sober citizen. Such legislation is worthy of China or Turkey, not free America. Fourth. It is an Impracticable remedy for the evil of intemperance. It cannot be enforced, especially In largo cities; it will constantly be evaded. The traflic will be, come secret, the liquor will be specially bad, atid the.olllcers of the law will be regarded by a large part of the population as the minions of tyranny. Fifth Prohibition tends to make law breakers and hypocrites. For that it is un excelled. A tyrannical law tends to con fuse the public mind as to the obligation lo obey law. And it inevitably promotes Sub leifuges, evasions and lnilncerltlet in place of cheerful obedience. Close unlisensed bars and protect every body, but leave to the American a reason lenluwn this week.

The first case called was that of Engineer Cook. Hon. Michael Cassldy opened for the prosecution In nn able address lasting lialf nn hour. All the flno points In the case were brilliantly brought out by Mr. Cassldy. General McCartney objected to the prosecution setting forth the manner In which tlicy intended to proceed lo con vict the defendants, but he was not upheld by the court. The first witness called Jot the prosecu tion was Henry C. Weir, of Tunkhannock, a civil engineer in the employ of the Leblgli Valley company. He testified to having made a survey and maps of the tracks and territory In the vicinity of Mud Run at the solicitation of the officials. The purport ot his evidence was Intended to establish the rade of the track near the station, the dls- ance from the station at which it could bu seen by an engineer in the cab of a locomo motlve approaching from the east, and to further piovo that the red target or lantern could be seen by any one approaching who as looking in that direction. The witness after carefully describing the localities and railroad appurtenances, such as switches, frogs, lights, boxes, etc., was submitted to searching cross-examination by Gen. Mc Cartney. Cook's counsel. The learned coun sel, who has the reputation of being ono of the best criminal lawyers in central or north eastern Pennsylvania. was unusually caustic n his questions and caused a sensation when Mr. Weir admitted that he would not swear that the station could be seen from a curve near the depot, and that the survey from blcli his maps had been made was made entirely while on foot and at no lime from locomotive cab. The defense believed that this was a point gained, inasmuch as the evidence of the civil engineer failed to establish that the station could be seen from the curve east of it, although it was meant to do so. John Franks.of Wllkesbarre,was the sec- md witness, and swore that he had made two draughts of engines 450 and 452, which ere in charge of Cook and Major when the accident occurred. The draughts were presented In court nnd submitted as evidence Sr.pt. Mitchell was on the stand when lourt adjourned. He testified to the excur sion on the 10th of last October.to the num ber of cars it consisted of, tho special and eneral orders issued to cxplo'-ees on tbat lay, the make and quality of Cook's and Major's engines, his appearance at the wieck, the number of killed and wounded, Ills testimony as to the quality of the ma terial In tha wrecked cars was ruled out because he was not an expert witness On resuming the case Tuesday Snperln tendeut Mitchell said that the train must have been going at a high rate of speed to have telescoped. The defence claimed that the light from tho fire box of Cook's engine blinded the engineer of the spcond engine .Witness admitted that the nearest point at which he could see a signal was a llstance of 230 feet. The most Important testimony given was that by J, W. Slocum, agent and telegraph operator at Mud Run He said ho was not sure that the train In question had red and creen lights or not. He had stopped No, 0 section by signal. The limit of ten minutes that the trains were to be kept apart was overrun by from seven to eight minutes. He saw Section 7 coming up the trade. There was a red light placed on the phtforni by John Let) non. After No. 6 came up the red light was put on rdEC of platform. Lcnnon Is the night operator. A flagman at end of double track stood and waved his red light as the train approached. The flagman's name was Hannlgan. Ono of the engines blew two whistles and then the flagman started for his train. When bo started Slocum took up the red light and flagcd the trains that had passed him. The red light had been there nearly an hour, Mr. Lennon was on duly. There was no obstruc ion between the red light and the approaching train. Uaunlsan stood out ot the line of thoTtd light at the time the train was be1 tween the mile post and the sawdust. It was at the sawdust when Slocum flagged It, He said: "I waved the lantern until the trains passed the station." He was sure '.hat It was a red light, as he was also cer tain that Uannigan's flag was all light, The collision occurred a few seconds after the train passed. "I went Into the office and told Sugar ttotch we had a wreck. The engine was shoved Into the car for about seven feet." He could see plainly 800 feet below the sawdust pile. 'Judge naryey then asked a few questions Did tlie witness use any signal on the sections that preceded No 0? He did. He had stopped the second, fourth, fifth and sixth, aud the red light on platform was used If all cases. The signal was observed by all those that pasted. No. 7 was not approaching station under control or be should not have flagged it. Cross-examined by Mr. McCartney, lie said Lennon was performing the duties of operator. He went to work at fl o, clock, put the lantern out after section two came up. It remained there until lie took It up to flag seventh section. There was no whistles blown for flagman to go back, Hannlgan was the flagman. He stood thr about fly minutes. "He had," said S'ocum, "a v,hlleandrcdlllit Unplaced them beside mine. There wero five men John McCormlck, Miles McFovln, Jacob Hcurirlcks, Mlchaol Lennon and John Lennon, standing on tha platform. There were no women there. There was a short, sharp whistle blown as the train was on the culvett. I couldn't sy which cnglno blow the whistle. Tbo order board showed white m thoso trains passed. I did the best I could. I did nou change the board because I thought If the train wouldn't stop for a flag ILwotild not stop for the oHer board." In answer to Mr. Craig he said li never used the boaid to slop trains. Answering a question from Mr McOaunu). Ua said he had not Used the bo.ud lo Hop pasauiiaer trains to let oil passengers. Mr. Slocum said section No. 7 was coming at the rate of tliluy miles an hour. Ho waved the red lantern. One of the engines blew down brukes, and when they came to the culvert ho cxp?ctcd them to stop, but ho kept wav ing thn lantern until the wreck occurred. Several other witnesses' were examined. Dennis McGuIre, Lehigh Valley engineer, had made several trial trips aud could see red light ebout fifty feet above tho mile- post, and bclleyed that the train could be stopped In time to prevent a collision If engineer of 452 had tried to stop It. Engineer Cook's testimony consumed most of Wednesday. He had been on the railroad for over twenty years. He said he had never run a regular passenger engine prior to that fatal night. Had given strict orders to Lookout Pohl to observe the special rules Issued by Superintendent Mitchell. Left Pcnn Haycn Junction at 7 37 o'clock. "My engine," ho said, "was a dirt burner with steam brake. Jajor had a ten-wheel engine with ll'estinghouse brake. This was in no way connected with my engine. The lookout had red and green lights In good order In the end of tho tank. When nearlng Mud Run Station I saw white lights, then some one signaled to stop. I whistled down brakes. It was Major's place lo try and stop the train. I remained on the englno until she struck tho cars. Major did not annlv his brake prior to the wreck. If he had, the train could have been stopped." Joseph Pohl was the next witness called. It was expected tbat he would make some startling statements but none wero made. He is still suffering from a fractured limb received In the wreck and hobbled to the witness box on crutches. He remembered the lOlh of October. He stated that En gineer Cook had given him precautionary instructions in relation to the performing of his duty on account of the strictness of the special orders Issued by the companj for the running of tho excursion. He saw two white lights at Mud Run statiot.whcn approaching It and believed therefore that everything was nil right. He did not see the train ahead until after the danger signal had beer blown, and then he was only a lew feet from tho wrecked train when ho jumped. He was positive that there were no red lights displayed at the station as the train advanced. Ills testimony occupied considerable time. Conductor Keltbline, of section 7, testified to the speed of the section that it was go ing fifteen or twenty miles an hour when the curb was reached, and that forty-five or fifty miles an hour was only considered a high rate of speed. Engineers Kelly and Kemerer and BaKeman Jenkins were, called and testified to the chatacter and the rail road quail. cs of Cook. A. number of other itnesses of uecondary Importance were called and examined. Illtness denied that when Major blew two whistles he put on steam. However, he said, ho put on the reverse and It might lye the exhaust Indications. He said he saw white signals at the mile post, also saw a red lantern shaking in a mau's hands. Il'i in ess never blew two whistles In response to a signal. Did not toucli the lever after the accident. Saw that It bad been moved after accident. Mr, McCartney brought out the fact that there were no torpedoes on the track. Lookout Pohl thought if the brakes had been applied, and the front engine were not pulling, the train might bo slopped al though going at the rate of fifteen miles an hour. Ten witnesses testified to Cook's good character. Hugh Gallagher's testimony was the next of any Importance. Judge Harvey asked him: "Lid Cook, reverse his engine when he passed the curve? "No, ir." "Why do you say he did not reverse?" "Because I would have felt the shock." "What shock?" "The shock of the water rushing Into the tank." The evidence In the case up to Thursday morn ing Is as above. The case will In all probability go to llie jury to-night or to-morrow. STRA.Y NOTKB. Mercantile Appraiser John Brighton reports that his duties are almost rompletcd.
