the man for whom they were looking
might be there. They found Mrs. Arm
strong's brother, whose name was Reu-
ben, at his work, and represented them
selves as two lawyers who had under
taken his sisters case, without men,
tiOning what her trouble was.
II expected it would get her into
trouble" was Reuben's remark, which
showed that he knew about the crime.
This information he might have got
from newspapers, but still it struck the
detectives as indicative of a knowledge
acquired from another source. As they
were cOnversing with Reuben, they OBJ
served man watching them from an
adjoining smithy.
"YOu had better come with us and
see Your sister. one of the officers said.
g Go and ask the fOreman's leave, and
refer him to us, if necessary. for an ex-
planation.''
Reuben said he would do so, and
turned toward the Office near the gate.
snow let us see what is in that
smithy," one of the detectives said,
and grasping their revOlvers in the
pockets of their OvercOats, they moved
in the direction indicated. As they
reached the door they heard crash,
and saw the figure of Il man passing
through the roof near the chimney.
sROund there and watch the out
side," said one of the officers rs he
spranS into the smithy. But the man
had disappeared, and rushing forth the
officer was just in time to see the fugi-
tive spring from the roof. As he
reached the ground he fell, and before
he could rise the grip of both detectives
was upon him.
He was secured in moment, and
proved to be the man they wanted.
He was tried ut the Carlisle AssiZes i'm
April last, and convicted by overwhelT-
ing evidence. Before the time for his
execution arrived, he wrenched apart
one of the bars of his cell door, and with
the Jagged edge inflicted terrible
wound on his throat, from the effects of
which he died in few hours.
BY what means he induced Kate COul-
ter to quit the house with him on tfe
fatal night and accompany him to tie
Black Tarn remains Il mystery. 1t is
probable, however, that the girl had
some lingering regard for her formol'
lover, and was led out of pure goodneas :
of heart to grant him an interview.
Why he removed her clothing can only
be guessed. The Tarn was frozen over,
and here and there holes had been made
for the fish. Through one of these holes
the murderer must have forced the
body, and finding that the clothes,
which were wooden, stuck to the ice
and prevented the body from going un-
der, the suppOsitiOn is that he stripped
the corpse and concealed the apparel
where it was subsequently found.

IHE MYSTERY OF the BLACK TARN,

Five or six miles to the north of the
small town of Brompton, in Cumber-
.and, England, there is mountain lake
known as Black Tarn. In the neigh
bOrhoOd are sheep farms, and few in
significant hamlets lie here and there
arOund. In one of these, known as Hay
ton, murder was recently perpetrated,
accompanied by cruel outrage. At the
east end of the village there resided one
John Coulter, who kept a beer shop,
and cultivated a small farm. He was a
rough, unc0uth man, addicted to drink,
and when he was incapable of attend
ing to his customers who came of a
saight for beer, his daughter, a come
ly girl of seventeen, waited upon them.
He had son, also, but he was in Car
Isle, learning trade, and seldom visit
ed his native village.
Coulter was reported to be worth a
few hundred pounds, and consequently
passed in the neighborhood as man of
means. A young man named ARM
strong had been counting his daughter,
but he had been driven off by Coulter,
for assaulting farmer, who was the
latter's friend. Armstrong had quilted
the neighborhood, having, as was sup
posed, enlisted. At the time now re-
fcrred to, Kate, Coulter's daughter, was
receiving attentions from one George
Routledge,the son of grocer in Bromp-
son.
On the morning of the 10th of last
February, Coulter arose late, having
been drunk as usual the night before.
Hearing no sounds below that would in
dicate his daughters being around, he
went to the top of the stairs and called
her by name. No answer came, and he
hastily donned his clothes and descend
ed. The stairs led down into the back
kitchen, and when he reached the bot
tom he saw the door leading into the
yard open. Thinking that his daughter
might be in the bar, he again called
her name, but to no purpose. Then he
passed into the bar, which was small
room with window opening into the
main room. The glasses stood around
unwashed, there was no fire in the
CRATE, and the disorder showed plainly
that Kate had not been at work that
mernins.
Coulter searched around, but could
see nothing of his daughter. The bed
in her chamber had not been slept in,
and her cloak and bonnet were missing.
He summoned one of the neighbors, and
when the news got around that Kate
Coulter had suddenly disappeared from
home. 4 crowd of sympathizers gather
cd round the father and offered assist
ance and counsel.
David Redd, a blacksmith, testified
that he was the last to quit the inn the

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

Our valuable mineral deposits are be-
coming widely known; they have attract
Cd the attention OF some OF tho leading
capitalists Of other States, and also Of
England, many Of whom haveyhited the
State with the view to Investment. But
unfortunately, when they come, We have
comparatively very little authentic in
formation to communicate 10 them. Our
people are, IN the main, ignorant Of our
true resources, and this sometimes leads,
to an exNggeratiOn Of their extent, or, on
the other hand, 10 depreciation Of their
value. Some OF our more Gnterprising
citizens have had local Investigations
and examinations made, but these, even
when made by men Of the highest scien.
tifc character, are neither as reliable nor
Us satisfactory as u general survey We
need general examination Of our geo.
logical strata and mineral formations.
When this has been done local investiga-
tions can be made intelligently and with
advantage. therefore think It would be
highly conducive to the public interests
10 have a general geological survey made
under State authority.

CONCLUSION.

The people will look With much inter.
est to your work this session. Many laws
Of a general nature, to which | have not
specially referred, need amendment or
revision and the time permitted to you
by tho constitution for this work will be
occupied by constant labor. / trust that
your coming together will result in sub
stahtiAl and permanent benefit to the
State. Notwithstanding the existence, al
times, Of political strife, which CAR not
but believe all parties regret, yet We have
happily avoided civil connections, which
have torn and distracted other States.
Our people have been spared the dusti.
tuition and distress which have visited
some portions Of the country; they have
been blessed with an abundant supply Of
the necessities Of life. In view Of our
condition as a people, IL Is meet that We
should bow with reverent and grateful
hearts before the Great Ruler Of all ma.
tons and all people.

ADJUTANT Observation-Disclosures OF
THE MILITIA. -t.f-
An act passed December &c, 1873, de-
Clared that "no other or further enroll
mentof the militia shall DO made,n There
fore no enrolment has been made during
the past year. BY an act passed Febru-
airy Is, 1871, the general superintendent
OF free schools was made az ojSciO adju-
tant general and Quartermaster general.
And this act has not been repealed, But
the present State superintendent of free
schools has declined to discharge the du.
ties Of these offices, for the reason that
they are incompatible with the tenure OF
the office to which he was elected. The
result is that the whole militia system OF
the State has become disorganized,
Among the powers granted 70 Congress in
the Constitution Of the United States Is
one ITO provide for organizing, arming
and disciplining the militia" In the ex.
ccutiOn Of this power Congress, by IN act
approved May :, 1902, required that the
militia Of the several States should be en-
rolled, and that an adiutant general should
be appointed in each State, BY subse-
quent act, that Of March 2, 1903, a quar-
termaster general for each State was pro-
vided for. These acts Of Congress are
still in force, and as they are sanctioned
by the Constitution, there seems to DO no
discretion lch with the States Us to the
enrolment Of the militia or the appoints
ment Of tho officers mentioned, / trust
therefore that II will be your pleasure to
provide for the enrolment Of the militia
and the appointment Of an adjutant gen.
eral and quartermaster general, and that
the legislation Of the State may thus be |
in harmony with the acts OF Congress,
There are but two volunteer companies

recommend that an appropriation Of two
hundred dollars DO nude to each Of the
