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

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.

A trial was Immediately made, and for a
period of ten or twelve hours forty callous

has been called for Friday evening, at
which time active measures will undoubt
