ENRAGED GIRLS.
Expelled From Schoo They Lay in Wait
aud Murder their SchOolmate.
Hagertown (lnd.l Dispatch.


a murder occurred at country
school.house, between Antwerp and
Williamsburg, this (Wayne) county,
about two weeks since, which in the
past day or two has come to light. The
matter is Of interest to the general
reader, and in substance is as follows:
young girl named Hates, about fif-
teen years old, is the victim of the
tragedy, and two young girls, school
mates about the same age, were the
perpetrators Of the crime. The names
of these girls your correspondents in
formant could not remember. Miss
Hates was the daughter of very poor
widow, and was very good-natured. On
account of her poverty the girls above
mentioned, daughters of wealthy par
ents, were continually playing little
tricks upon her. Miss Hates being
poor, the dinner which she carried to
school each day was not of the best
quality. The schoolmates III question,
at every chance, threw out insinuations
which abashed Miss Hates SO much
that she would at noon each day retire
to fence corner III the vicinity to eat
her dinner.
About two weeks ago one of the two
girls spoken of secretly went to Miss
Hates dinner basket, and taking
biscuit therefrom, opened it and spit
in it. Miss Hates discovered her in the
act, and feeling that she could bear
such treatment no longer, reported to
the teacher how her mates had used
her In the past. In consequence of this
thetwo girls were expelled from school.
This occurred in the afternoon, and the
expelled parties, enraged by the treat
ment, laid in waiting along the road for
the author of their trouble. When
school was out, and as Miss Hates was
passing by them on her homeward
journey, they assaulted her, one of
them striking her in the head with
baseball bat, and the other, after she
was down, jumping upon her and break
ing four of her ribs. After this brutal
treatment the assailants went on their
way. BY some means Miss Hates got
to her home, short distance from
where she was assaulted, but only
lived long enough to communicate to
her mother what had taken place. As
the story is told, the parents Of the
girls went to the mother of the muir
dered child, and offered her So, 600 to do
all she could to keep the affair from
gaining publicity. The widow, it IS
said, accepted the proposition, but in
the last day or two the affair has been
exploded by school children who wit
messed the assault, and in consequence
the neighborhood is all excitement.
Further developments will be promptly
reported

necessary to dress the heads of some
the night before. Last Wednesday a
Chronicle reporter met gentleman who
related an incident Worthy OF repeti-
ton, II only to show the miseries and
trlbulations OF which Dame Fashion is
the cause. The gentleman saws that on
Tuesday he spent the evening away
from home, and did not return rctil
near midnight, when, upon enterinq MS
sleeping apartment he was struck with
alright at beholding his wife ronoad
up with pillows and cushions, her head
resting against the headboard of the
bedstead. To his hurried inquiries as to
what terrible at1iiction had befallen her
she quietly explained LAT she had been
having her hair dressed for the follow
ing night. The same day, Wednesday.
the reporter called upon lady of the
haut ton, and one whom she knew was
to be at the same ball. Here she found
the couture already arranged. On in
quiry she was informed that the artist
had called at seven O'Clock in the morn
ing, and the young lady was forced
from her pleasant slumbers to don a
wrapper, and, half asleep, half awake,
sit perched up in straight-back chair
for over an hour and a half. Here the
reporter was informed that several
friends of the lady had been obliged to
submit TO the torture of having their
hair dressed over night.

Fashion's NlIserles.
san Frnncisc0 Chronicle.

History gives an account OF now,
many hundred years ago, ladies devot-
ga from three to six hours to the arrang-
ing of their hair; and certain queen
was known to leave her couch al four
O'Clock in the morning that STE might
have her hair dressed by ten. One can
easily imagine, while gazing upon the
portrait of the beautiful Princess Lam
balle-the stanch friend Of the unfortu-
nate Marie Antoinette-howm much time
could be consumed in the art. Looking
at these facts as thing Of the past,
they only provoke feeling Of surprise,
and cause one to wonder il such, in
deed, was the fashion of the times. And
vet to-day the ladies Of san Francisco
are not one whit behind their sisters OF
past centuries in submitting to the
greatest discontinue, pain, and loss Of
sleep to appear fashionable. What with
the noted Hebrew wedding last Wednes-
day afternoon and the brilliant ball on
Pine street in the evening Of the same
day, the court" hairdresser found he
had more orders than he could attend
TO in one day, and, that he might oblige
his numerous lady patrons, tbecame

When the Danish missionaries had

the present style of courtship as fol

and they have no evidence to enable
them to determine which is the true
and genuine return, are they required
to treat either ofthem as valid?
Answer-When two lists of votes are
returned to the office Of the secretary
of state, by the clerk of any city, town
or plantation, and both are duly certi.
fed, the return first received at the Of
fee Of the secretary must be the basis
of the action of the governor and count
Gil. If defective or rot true copy o.
the record, it can be corrected or defects
supplieN only in accordance with the
provisions OF the statute relating there
to. This government rest upon the
great constitutional axiom that all pow
er is inherent in the people. It is a
government "of the people, by
the people, and for the peo-
pie" ard if it is administered
in the spirit Of its founders it shall not
perish from the earth. ''1ts constitution
was formed" to use the apt expression
Of one whose memory is embalmed in
the hearts OF his countrymen, "by plain
people, and plain people must tCn IN
ter it. The ballot is the pride as well as
the protection OF all. Ii is the truest
indication of the popular will" The
official returns required from munich
pal officers of the several plantations,
towns and cities, are and will be made
by the plain people, and made, too, in
hurry and hustle and excitement OF
election. They are not required to be
written with the scrupulous nicely of q
writing master; or with the technical
accuracy Of plea III abatement.
The dominant rule is to give such "a
construction to the official acts of mu-
nicipal officers as will best comport
with the meaning and intention Of the
parties as derived from fair and hon

to sustain rather than to defeat the will
Of the people and disfranchise the

Chili's Triumph Over Peru.

New lork Times.
The details of the recent CHILEAN VIC
tories recall the marvellous struggle of
Paraguay for four years, against the
overwhelming forces of Brazil and the

each of which exceeds her in numbers.
Bolivia having 2324 100 inhabitants,

and the imprudence Of the allied lead

general, Nlllegas, offers fair chance

her growing discomfort With the results
of the war will probably dispose her to

d. b. StStson,s SCar Hook" Tested Yester-
day-Satisfaet0ry Result.

d. b. Ststson's ~Car Hook" Tested Yester-
day-Satisfaetory Resutt.
An interesting experiment was made yester-
day on the railroad track, just beyond East
Minneapolis. The Effectiveness of Mr.. l.. B.
Stilson's invention, which is q continuance to
prevent railroad cars from leaving the road
bed, was given thorough test. The apparatus
consists of two Cross sticks under each car
truck, between the wheels which are firmly
bolted to the truck. and on the lower side of
the sticks are four hooks. The hooks are 80
arranged that If the train leaves the track from
any cause some one of these hooks will project
into the groove of the railroad rail, and thus
prevent the train, which is OF the track. from
leaving the ties.
The invention was attached to q fat car,
which was hauled over to the spot where the
test was to be made. There is curve in the
track at the place, and the outer rail was. torn
up. The car waa thrown to the place at speed
of about II miles an hour. The hook caught
in the outside groove of the one rail remain
ing. and the car stopped after joltipg about
four times its length on the ties. Only two or
three officials were present to witness the test.
but it was pronounced q decided success. Mr..
Stilsou has ben ct work on the conetrivance six
years and thinks he has now got it perfect.

R~a Deer By the Cars and Both Legs
OtIt O1-Rtns the Probable Cause.
AS the 5:45 train left the Milwaukee b st.
Paul depot last night, the few bystanders wit
messed frightful accident. John Sharin, the
Office boy at the depot, had Just taken the nail
into the car, and when the train began to move
he stepped out of the door to get off the train.
A man was standing on the platform, cIinging
to the railing, and undertook, apparently,
to step backward of the car. He fell, how
ever. and after being dragged several feet, fell
under. The wheels passed over his legs, sever
ing the right limb at the thigh, and the left at
the knee. The man was picked up and carried
into the Office of DR.. Ames. Il was then
found that his name was Joseph Riley.
Riley boards at 212 North Main street and
has been employed in the saw mills. Satur-
day night the mill shut down, and Monday
and yesterday he did no work. He is sup
posed to be single man. He was plainly un-
der the influence of liquor which probably led
to the terrible accident.
At 10 o'clock the man was removed to the
Cottage hospital. He had not rallied at all
from the shock, and it was not expected that
he would live until morning. DR.. Ames was
waiting to peform hmputation if there was a
favorable turn, but had little hope of such a
result.

GAINESVILLE Gaze tie: Mrs. John Bryn,
who lives near the roundhouse, was badly
frightened week ago, and it is supposed
that fright caused her death which occurred
Sunday last. The cause of her fright was
that one of her children in company with
others had narrow escape from being run
over by the cars. The new track of the
Milwaukee st. Paul road to Beloit crosses
the rear of her lot, aud the children were
playing about some gravel cars which stood
there. They would start the cars and let
them run down grade, and while thus
amusing themselves, her child and two 9TH
ers had narrow escape from being crush
ed. She saw them at the moment of dam
ger, and was 30 shocked that she grew rap
idly i'll, until death ended her sufferinca.
