Judge Stuart to-day delivered a long address to the grand jury upon the tramp question. The tramp bill of this connty in the last 18 years has been over 5125,000. Tbe Judge said tbat the vagrancy law of 1876 intended that the penalty for vagrancy should be labor, not confinement, and that the custom followed here of keeping the tramps in jail in comfort and idleness during the winter and then allowing them to prey; upon the farmers in the summer was a violation of the law and must be stopped. It is the duty of the officials of the county, according to Judge Stuart, to provide work lor the tramps, and neglect to do so is a misdemeanor. He recommended that they be put to work quarrying stone on the alms house form. The grand jury was instructed to make a full investigation of the matter, and report some plan to rid the connty of the tramps.

Property Owners Terrorized bj Organized Timber Thieves. FARMERS FIGHT THE FIERCE FLAMES To Ears Their Homestead From Destruction In the Conflagration. New Jersey is suffering from destructive forest fires, started by timber thieves, who have conspired to terrorize property owners who threatened them with prosecution. Thousands of acres of valuable woodlands have been destroyed, entailing a loss of over 550,000. Camden, N. J., April 28. A reign of terror has been begun in Burlington county, N. J., by the timber thieves who infest that region. Their fiendish work of setting fire to the 'valuable timber lands in the eastern section of the county, around Mount Holly, Vincentown, Med ford and other small neighboring towns, which was only stopped by the heavy rain during the past three days, has resulted in the loss of many thou sands of dollars to the owners of timber tracts and lucrative cranberry bogs, besides destroying the homes of many tenants. At present no estimate can be exactly placed on the amount of property ruined, but it will certainly not fall short of 550,000. A stretch ot ten miles, which one week ago contained the finest specimens ot oak, pine, maple and cedar timber, has largely been converted into a plain of ashes and charcoal and smoking stumps of trees. It is known that timber thieves started the de structive conflagration early on Wednesday morning in revenee for the recent wholesale threats of the owners tbat they intended to shoot down any man who should steal their wood. AFBAID TO PKOSECUTE. Now that the thieves have wrought such devastation, tbe owners are afraid to prose cute any of them for fear that new fires will be started. The Timber Protective Society, which has been inactive during the last two years, has leaped into life again to track down the offenders. A leadingoffici.il of the society said yesterday that the organiza tion would shortly hold a meeting. He also stated tbat some plan would be adopted to stop all thieviug in tbe forests, and to punish the men known to be in the business. The fire started on "Wednes day morning at a place called "Big Hill," in Southampton township, owned by John "Wells. At the same time the thieves set fire to several adjoining tracts. Within a few hours the whole section of the country was in a sheet of flame. The timber was dry nnd burned quickly. Bands of men endeavored to fight the flames, but were re pulsed by tbe fearful neat. Throughout Wednesday and Thursday the fire spread rapidly, and laid waste to the thousands of acres. The cracking of timber and the strong wind fanning the fire filled the country with continuous roar. The heavy rain on Friday morning, however, stopped its progress. The burned district extends from the southern part of South hampton township to Shamong, and through Woodland and Med ord townships. A greater part of the destroyed woodland was young timber. Many cedar tracts were.also destroyed. The cedar was selling at a good price, it being used for shingles, inside ma terial of houses and lead pencils. A CBANBEBEY GROWER'S LOSS. Probably the heaviest loser was Joseph Hinchman. of Medford township, who lost abont 1,200 acres of choice timber land, be sides a lot of cut wood. The fire also injured most of his 500 acres of cranberry bogs. Hinchman is the largest cranberry grower in Southern Jersey. It is thought his loss will not be less than 12,000. Several small houses on the property of Mr. Hinch man, occupied by some of his workmen, were burned to the ground. Great damage was done to the immense tract of woodland of General John S. Irick, ot Vincentown. Speaking of his loss by the fire yesterday General Irick said: "I judge that about 2,000 acres of the wood land belonging to me and John Wells have been destroyed. The timber was valuable, being heavy and used for logs. As I have not made any inspection I am unable to set any figure as to mv loss. I shall prosecute the timber thief who may attempt to destroy or pilfer my property in the future to the fullest extent of (he law." Henry J. Irick, the son of the General, lost 500 acres of his magnificent timber in Northampton township"by the conflagration. Jesse Braddock and Japhet Bowker were large losers in Medford township. They lost 1,000 acres of timber, besides some of their cranberry bogs. The large timber tracts ot Joshua Jones, Mrs. Louisa Moore, J. Ballinger and C. Pennock, stretching over 2,000 acres, were nearly all rednced to ashes, and the farmhouse and outbuildings ot (Jbaries xl. names were laid in waste. KING OP TIMBER THIEVES. This wholesale destruction of property has been relished by the revengeful timber thieves. For years these rascals have been stealing the timber in broad daylight. They laugh at the owners and do not at tempt to conceal their guilt A resident of Medford said yesterday that for the past five years fully 20 cords of wood have Deen stolen iroiu uia property aauy. xne timber thieves do most ot their cutting on Sundays, and then haul for the rest of the week. In Northampton and Medford townships alone the number of these pilfer ers is above a score. They make their liv ing by stealing the wood of their neighbors. One man, well-known to the inhabitants of Northampton township as the "Kingot fhe Timber Thieves," is alleged to have spent his whole life in stealing his neigh bors' timber. Had he not been a heavy drinker he would now' be a rich man at otlf er people's expense. He can drink a quart ol applejack daily without feeling the worse for it. He has been indicted, but the case is still pending against him. The tim ber thieves have settlements at "Magnolia," "Canaan" and "Ketreat," three notorious ly bad places in the eastern portion of Bur lington county. PBETTY QUICK DETECTIVE WORK. Chief Murphy Locatos Jubn Bonner. Wanted for Strnllnc $600. John Bonner, a resident of Middle street, Allegheny, put 5G00, belonging to his mother, iu his pocket last Saturday night and left the town. His mother found it out on Sunday morning, and reported the fact to Chief ol Police Murphy, who promptly took such active measures that the young man was located in Cincinnati, and n tele gram to the authorities of that town caused bis arrest yesterday. Word was received last night that Bonner was in jail, and was willing to return wituoutrequisition papers, and Detective Glenn left at 10 o'clock on short notice to bring him back, having no ''baggage" but an extra linen collar and a handkerchief.

A Patirnecr Coach Jumps Iho Track nnd DemolfobeB a Bngxaso Ffonsc One Vassenurr Kilted nnd Several Oiliem Injured. Staunton, Va., April 28. This morn ing about 3 o'clock a fearful railroad wreck occurred at the Staunton, Chesapeake and Ohio station. The vestibule train, due here from the West at 1 o'clock, was' two hours late. About 5 o'clock it came whirling on at a speed of 70 miles an hour. As the train reached the passenger station the rear sleep ing car ended, striking the platform cover ing, tearing away the iron posts and demol ishing the whole platform structure. It struck the eastern baggage house 50 rods from tbe station, a new brick building, crushing in its Iront and wreck ing the building. The rear sleeper then jumped the track and turned over on its side a few feet from the track, shattering the car into numberless pieces. There were a number of passengers in the sleeper. The city fire alarm was sounded. The fire companies responded in stantly and went to work at the wreck, as sisted by many citizens, to rescue the passen gers from their imprisonment. One person was killed, Miss Myrtle Knox, of Kansas City. She was fearfully mangled. One leg was cut off below the knee, her left arm broken and right shoulder dislocated. A piece of wood was buried in her thigh, cut ting an artery, causing death from bleeding in a lew moments and before surgical aid could be summoned. Those known to have been injured are W. J. Kirkpatrick, New York, wound of tbeleg and head; L. H. Sloman, Cincin nati, slightly injured; Edith Miller, New York, leg broken: Mrs.-Edward Webb, leg bruised; Edward Stevens, shoulder sprained; Miss Bertha Fisher, concussion of the spine and conthsion of the abdomen, considered serions; Lewis Harrison, scalp wound; Miss Jane Durham, sprained ankle. All of the injured, belong to the "Pearl of Pekin" troupe, except Mr. Kirkpatrick. There were six coaches, two of which were sleepers. No one was injured except those in the rear sleeper. The engine and other cars rushed on for a mile when the engineer on an upgrade got control of tbe engine. The accident was caused by a brake rod falling, throwing ballast among the air brake connections. SHUTTING UP SHOP. The Small Brokers of Washington Com pelled to Ask Time Tbo High Boilers Continue Business and Think the Pnnlcky Feeling Temporary. THOU A BTAFP COERKSFONDENT.J Washington, April 28. There has been a great flurry among the bucket-shops of this city for the last two days. The fail ures andexcitenientiuNew York and Pitts burg have put a damper on operations and a padlock on the money market, and this morning the announcement was made by most of the local bucket-shop keepers to their customers that they had no money and could not meet their obligations at once, but asked for time. It is safe to say that at least one-half the bucket shops of the city are running under shortened sail, while hundreds of people groaned and moaned over the possible loss of their savings. The transactions in this business here are usually small, but are quite extensive, and the strin gency that prevails will have a widespread effect. Clerks in the departments and young men about town on short commons are the chief patrons, and while they do not risk much at any one time they are indnstrious, frequent and certain. The trouble here does not affect the larger and more responsible brokers, although there is a nervous feeling to-day all along F street and a number of the brokers who do not really fear any serious trouble have been a little chary about taking much new busi ness until the market is in a more settled state. There have not been many actual cases of closing, althongh a nnmher of bucket shops have been obliged to tem porize and nsk a few days time in which to settle up. The more hopeful dealers on the street say the trouble will not last long, and doubts are expressed as to whether there will be much actual loss. On the whole, bow ever, "panicky" is the word that would best describe the condition of affairs among the smaller local brokers' offices, generally known as bucket shops, rlow long it will last no one can say with any degree of cer tainty. Doran and Wright, who were somewhat pinched by the Pittsburg troubles of Satur day, have made satisfactory arrangements with all their customers and are doing busi ness to-day as usual. Like a number of others, they paid out all tbey had here and when they failed to receive remittances to day found themselves short. They have settled with paper at 30, GO and 90 days with all their customers and take the paper iu payment on margins, but as a rule they prefer cash business. All their customers are satisfied with their acliou and there is no further difficulty expected. YESTERDAY'S LIST OF ACCIDENTS. A Few mishaps, bat None of tbo Victims Seriously Injured. John Gabig, aged about 57 vears, was strnck by a Pittsburg and Lake Erie train back of the Clinton mill yesterday afternoon. He was seriously injured about the head.

THB .SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAI Containing Gossip of the Diamond and Other Bead able Matter. It bas been decided to reduce the admis sion fee at Players' League games to 25 cents. This is a step which will doubtless prove popular. Other interesting sporting items are given. As intimated in yesterday's Dispatch, the directors of the local Players' League club have decided to reduce the price of admission to their home games to 25 cents. A policy of this kind has been steadily urged bv this paper and the adoption of the suggestion is a wise step from every point of view. Doubtless those who are not friendly toward the club will attribute various kinds of causes for the move, but after all have had their say the fact remains that the change is one for the public benefit, at least that portion of the public that takes an interest in the national game. The directors of the club have issued the following state ment regarding their resolve. WHAT THE DIRECTOBS SAT. Sporting Editor of The Dispatch: Now that the baseball championship sea son of 1690 has fairly opened and the base ball loving public have had an opportunity to judge between the two clubs representing our city, and it has been made manifest by the attendance at the games of the Players' League club, by a majority of 10 to 1, that that organization is the popular one, and since the National League clubs, after hav ing used every means within their power to overthrow the Players' League, have at last resorted to the only remaining subterfuge, a non-conflicting schednle, it has been de termined by the Pittsburg Players' League Club to further popularize itself by the in troduction of a 25-cent admission to its home games. This change, which goes into effect to-day, should be welcomed by all. The Pittsbueo Platers' League Club. a populab move. The above statement maybe a little strong in places, for instance, the use of the word "subterfuge," but it contains a deal of truth. From a standpoint of expediency and also of duty it is a step in the right direction. Without doubt it is somewhat of a heroic move on the part of the directors of the club, and the local baseball patrons should" respond accordingly. The expenses of tbe club were all originally estimated on a 50-cent admission basis, and to reduce that basis 50 per cent without reducing the expenses is a very bold step to take. Noth ing but a hearty response on the part of the public will make the step a profitable one. It is worthy of note that the change is being made at a time when there is no opposition in the city as far as a competing club is concerned, so that the rednclion is one en tirely to accommodate the working com munity of this great industrial center. Ladies and gentlemen can now secure seats on opera chairs for 50 cents each. That 25-cent ball will become general in this citr is now certain. The writer was authoritatively informed yesterday that the directors of the local National League Club had made up their minds to reduce their price when the club returns. At Exposition Park to-day the Cleve lands "ill play their last game of the pres ent series, Galvin and Quinn will be the home battery and Bakely and Sutcliffe will officiate for the visitors.

CABD FE0H MBS. PBLNNEY. Sho Upholds Mrs. Foster and Credits Her With Belnc Non. Partisan. Cleveland, April 2a Mrs. Ellen Pblnney, President of the National W. C. T. TJ. (non partisan), has prepared the f ollowine for publi cation: "A statement that docs creat Injustice to Mrs. Foster and at tbe same time represents me as in a hostile attitude to one whom I not only love and honor, but recognize as the strongest and ablest champion of constitu tional prohibition the nation has yet produced, appeared in tbe Chiea'o News and almost sim ultaneously in the public press, fiecauso of the injustice thus done to those representing the non-partisan temperance movement the correct version of what I did say on the point under discussion shonld have as wide a esca lation. I said tbat while Mrs. Foster bas no peer npon tho temperance platform, ber con nection with the last political campaign- has hindered this movement, because of a general misapprehension in regard to her non-partisanship; that while we clearly understand the dif ference between individual political action, and lenow that when Mrs. Foster went into that political contest the woman believed in the Re publican party and its governmental policy. We know that Mrs. Foster is just as ardent a Methodist as Republican; that she fully believes the Methodist Church is the church for the people; that it Is the greatest denomi national medium for uplifting tbo masses, but she does not seek to bring to its support the influence of the women of the Union because she believes they should exercise their own pref erences in these as In political matters. So we see that as a temperance woman Mrs. Foster is truly non-partisan, but many fail to understand It, and the repeated charge brought against us by those who are unable or unwilling to under stand our position." "I did not say "Mrs. Foster bad done great in jury to tbe temperance cause,' nor did I say to a reDorter in explanation that "I did not mean what I said." I did not mean what he said, but I stand by the statement I made." PE0TECTI0N FOB BBAEEHEN. Congress Asked to Mnke a. Law Compelling Use of Air Brakes. Washington, April 28.
