Bloodshed Over n Railroad Extension-A

Bloodshed Over a Railroad EXtension-A
Contractor Enticed into Yard and
Shot.
This spring the South Side Railroad Company
contracted with Robert White for the extension Of
their track from Rockaway village to the sea side
three miles distant. For many years the railroad
company has been opposed in Its movements by an
eccentric individual named Samuel Norton. In the
extension Of the track II was necessary to pass
through land belonging to Norton.
Yesterday morning Samuel Norton called Con-
tractor White into his yard at Rockaway and told
him not to attempt to drive any piles In the creek.
White responded that he was subservient to the
orders OF President Fox. Unless ordered to desist
by him he should certainly go ahead with the work.
Norton, 1t is alleged called him some hard names,
all OF which White took In good part, and was about
to walk away, when Franklin Norton, the old man %
son, came from the house and continued
the abuse, As White was nearing the rail-
road track Norton the younger, II Is said,
rusned back to the house and secured
q revolver, and, following White, shot at him, one
ball passing through his ear and the other entering
the abdomen similar to the way In which Fisk was
killed. White fell to the ground, where he remained
until found by Civil Engineer Farnham who had
him removed to Motifs Hotel Dr. Auerbach probed
the wound, but failed to find the ball. Soon after
the shooting Norton was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Carroll, who took him to jamaica, and Judge
Brinckerhofr committed him to jail. The affair will
be investigated today.

ABSOLUTELY PURE.
Physicians throughout the world s,,.,
as to tho necessity for dIffus.ve stinu1s,,.-
in medical practice, but complain. and
with good reason, of the impossibilitv of
obtaining them pure. The difficulty here
presented would be a, serious one indeed
if the class of agents was limited 70 the
adulterated liquors and wines of trade. II
vanishes, however, when the absolute pu-
rity and extraordinary restorative proper
ties OF Hostetter's Bitters are taken into
consideration. as a stimulant the article
is absolutely free from everything objeo-
tIonable; bnt this is only one of its recon-
mendations. II IL we're nothing more than
an excitant its effects would be Meeting
1t might refresh and revive the system for
a few minutes, but could produce no per.
manent benefit. The slim ulating elemsntr
of the Bitters, is a means, not an end. The
tonic, anti-bilious, depurative and apsyi-
ent vegetable juices com 5ined IL the pre-
paration are the agents that tmgart vigor
and regularity to the weakened and di4or-
dered Organization. the spiIituous rt5uc5-
pie being chiefly useful IN diuu-ing their
influence through the system. and olhrr-
wise facilitating their operation. Alcohol
even in its purest form, + not so much q
medicine as q motive power. by which the
specifics of The Vege able kingdom may be
brought to bear upon the deDilitated and
organs that require renovaEng
and regulating: and II Is IL this way that
the pure essence OF rye incorporated IN
HOstetter's Bitter5 increases the efficiency
of the purely medical inEredi tents.

of yacillating virtue pandering to its
beastly lust, and feeble honesty falling
prey to its greedy nav. How often
has it gathered in personal purity and
official rectitude as the condition of its
thirty paltry pieces of silver Uncle
Sam having donated some four hundred
millions of acres to railroads, desirable
lands are getting less plenty and grab
bers are on the alert. The government
still holds some five or six hundred acres
in what is known as the Reservation,
running back mile from the river, and
upon which stands the national edifice.
Two great railroad kings, discovering
this, have been making the Capitol live
ly by quarreling over which shall locate
its depot thereon. Scott, of the Penn
sylyania Central, represents the most
money and is i'll the ascendency, and the
indications are that when his bill can be
got before the House, that body will be
guilty of such piece of vandalism as to
locate arailroad depot meath the Goddess
of Liberty upon this reservation, there
by preventing the extending and beauti-
flying the Capitol grounds, the creation
of national park and otherwise adding
such improvements to the national Cap
itol, as its dignity and permanency
ought to and does demand. This is "a
question of national Importance, and
we cannot speak of it at length now, we
will watch developments andspeak more
fully hereafter. Everybody ought to
know how, why, and by whom this
thing is done. *

The parade Of ST. Patricks Benev-
client Society, on Monday, in honor of
their patron saint, st. Patrick, was ev-
ery way very creditable performance.
There were between one thousand and
twelve hundred Irishmen upon the
ground. The procession formed at the
church at 2 p. m, headed by Rev: ). Z.
O'Dwyer, with the ''Altar Boys" in an
open carriage, followed by the Band,
marched through several streets, around
the park and back to the church. In
the evening a very humorous address was
delivered at the Town Hall by Rev }.
C. O'Dwyer, of nearly two hours du-
ration, describing his trip from New
York to Dublin and around Ireland, IN
terspersed with little incidents, which
caused much merriment. He described
how whisky was put in milk without the
two mixing, which eXcelled by far any
striped pig" arrangement of the Amer
leans. The whole closed by Andy
Blake.
To crown all there were no drunkards
Mr.. O'Dwyer is certainly entitled to
much credit for the noble stand he has
taken, and for the means he uses to ele-
vate his race.
The procession was very orderly. The
Stars and Stripes preceded the "Green."
Let us stimulate Irishmen to have good
time without liquor. u.
