Zeph Hughe Escapes Again.
Sheriff Cousins received notice yesterday
morning from the superintendent of the
Hospital for Dipsomaniacs at Mount Pleas
ant that Zeph Hughes had again made his
escape from the Institution. This makes
the fourth time that Hughes haa escaped
from the hospital. As the law Is, It Is
doubtful If anything can be done with
Hughes except to take him back to Mount
Pleasant In the event of his returning to
his home here. The law does not give au
thority to place persons committed as
chronic dipsomaniacs In tne county jail ex
cept pending transportation to the hos
pital. The expense of conveying Hughes to
Mount Pleasant haa already amounted to
about tlW. George Kerney, who waa com
mitted to Mount Pleasant for three yeara
and who made his escape from there the
day following hla commitment, has not
been heard from. His home waa In Avoca,
but Inquiry foils to show that he haa re
turned there.

GLOVE CONTRACT LOOKS BAD
eeretnrr Root Orders Tsersagh Ia
reetlgatloa to He
Made.
WASHINGTON. July J.-Secrelary Root
today had a conference with General
Humphrey, quartermaster general, and
Colonel Patten, who haa charge of the
clothing supplies for the army, regarding
the contract for glovee with E. R. Lyon,
who, It la claimed, obtained his supplies
of gloves from the firm of which Repre
sentative Llttaeur of New York Is a mem
ber. -
The secretary has directed that an In
quiry be made Into the whole subject, with
a view to ascertaining whether any officer
made contracts in violation of the statutes
and such other Information aa may be ob
talned.
Tho papers have been referred to Judge
Advonto Davis, who will examine them
to ascertain what action the War depart
ment should take from a legal and mili
tary standpoint. Some allegations have
been made that the glove contract waa let
to Lyon after a lower bid had been made,
but this cannot be verified. While One sec
tion of the revised statutes prohibits con
tracts which will benefit a member of con
gress, another section excepts a contract
made with a corporation tn which the con
gressman holds shares.
It is said at the War department no mat
ter what may be the outcome the statute
of limitation will He against any criminal
prosecution, but thla will not prevent civil
proceedings for the restitution of money
involved In the contract
SYRACUSE, N. Y.. July .General Mar-
shal I. P. Luddlngton (retired) today said
In reference to the glove contract between
the government and Edmond R. Lyon, In
which the name of Congressman Lucius N.
Llttauer has been mentioned:
The transactions occurred during the
I'unjfsi. pan oi tne war wnen i was loaaed
down with work. The bids were opened In
my office and awarded to the lowest bid
der, except In cases where It wis neces
sary that the goods should be delivered Im
mediately. I know Lyon as a government contractor.
Mr. Llttauer I know also as a very pleas
ant and agreeuble gentleman. I knew
also, as did everyone in Washington, that
he was a manufacturer of gloves, but. of
course, I never knew that he was Inter
ested with Mr. Lyon In business, or that he
had any connection with him.
General Luddlngton further said that Con
gressman Llttauer had never called upon
htn. concerning any glove contracts, and
added:
This is the first time that I have heard
of or read of his name being connected
with any contract ror gloves, or of his
being connected In any way with Lyon.

Finally she Jumped to the grourfd, and,
with the aid of a gardener, captured her
pot. Learning of the affair Lamar vlelted
the stable. The servant and broker quickly
camo to blows. ! u ' r
The coachman declares . Lamar struck
first. The broker .denies this. At last he
waa felled twice jn rapid succession and
the coachman fled. He waa arrested soon
afterward and held for the grand Jury.

None of these roads can attribute its em
barrassment to conditions affecting rail
ways In general.
During the six months only three roads
were sold under Judgments. Th?se ronds
were the Champaign & Southwestern
eleven miles: the Chicago & Southeastern
117 miles, and the Berlin branch, sevn
miles. The Champaign & Western has for
more than tw.mly years formed a part of
the Wsbash system and the sale was purely
formal. The little .Berlin branch rosd,
which has maintained a nominal existence
since 1S77. has for some years been oper
ated by the Western Maryland. The Chi
cago A Southeastern has been operated
under various names for a quarter of a
century. It will be absorbed by tho Big
Four.
Altogether these three concerns repre
sent only 146 miles of road and Sl.lW.OOO of
bonds and stocks, while during the corre
spondlng period of 1902 the foreclosure sales
numbered eleven, covering 2-19 miles of
road and J12.707.O0O capital.
Electric Lines In Trouble.
But while the era of receiverships and
foreclosurea of steam railways appears for
tho present to have ceased the oid which
their absence from the courts haa made
begins to be filled by the financial misfor
tunes of electric railways.
While no tabulated record appears to be
kept tho Railway Age has complied from
financial publications a list of five street
railway companies which have been placed
In the bands of receivers since January I.
These show n total length of 577 miles of
track, representing $17,668,000 bonds and f 3r.. -tOO.OOO
capital stock, a grand total of $'13,-
OoS.ftW of street railway securities placed
In the hands of receivers, as against
8C).0ii0 of securities of steam roads in similar
condition. In addition to these a Pennsyl
vania traction company, operating twenty
five miles and with $4,000,000 of securities
outstanding, made default last spring In lis
Interest obligations and asked an extension.
We also find recorded foreclosure sales
since the first of the year of four electric
lines, representing !tl miles of, track and
t.?fGO00 In 'bonds and stock.
