#For Will Witherow.
frhe rags for this came from Atglen and the
carpet was shipped to Christlana.
We don't reproduce these figures as a
reflection upon Mr.. Carter's personal or
official integrity, for it has been the prac-
tice for officials to take what they wanted
cat cost" How great an abuse this prac-
tice had grown may be inferred from the
fact that in the item of 1O9 yards of carpet
given above, in response to our inquiries,
the prison clerk informs us that the differ
ence between the amount paid by the in
spector and the amount customer would
have been charged for the same work was
SLOTS. On the other items he could not
give us the figures, except the bags, Of
which the regular price was "a. Thanks
to Keeper Burkholder's addresses" the
inspectors at their last meeting stopped
this leak in the profits Of prison labor !;
but it shows that Mr.. Carter is as liable to
be mistaken in his memory of facts con-
corning himself as Mr.. Kaufman was in
his inferences drawn from a small black
spot near a pigs tail.
Mr.. Carter claims that he was justified
in paying three dollars head more for
pigs delivered in Lancaster than he sold
his own for at the pen, and that Dave
Steacy's shoats are better than those he
sold to Kaufman. On this point there
seems to be difference of opinion. We
are not an expert in porcine comparison,
and will therefore not presume to decide
the issue thus raised between the pork
growers of Bart and Salisbury.

OBITUARY NOTES.
Tho Death Roll for . Day. :.


General Eli Warren. a prominent law
near Macon, in the SD year of his age.
James Kelley, a member of the Penn
sylvania Legislature from Fulton county,
fell dead at his home, near McConnells-
burg, on Monday morning. About
week before he had fallen down stairs and
broken a leg and he was suffering from
the injury at the time of the fatal stroke.
Samuel A. Purviance died yesterday at
his residence in Allegheny City, aged %
years. He was a native of this state, a
lawyer by profession :; was il member of
two state constitutional conventions :;
served two terms in the Legislature, in
1898 80 &; and was also congressman for
two terms, and attorney general of the
state.
John E. McDOnough, the actor, died at
one o'clock this morning of cancer of the
throat and jaw, after an illness of about
eight months. For the last six weeks he
has been confined to his bed, greater
portion of that time being out of his
mind. For weeks before his death he
subsisted entirely on stimulaLts, and his
terrible pains we're only alleviated by
large doses of sulphate of morphia. He
was on the stage for period of thirty
eight years and was we'll known as an
actor and manager.
Ko Kunha, professor of Chinese at Har-
ward university, died yesterday of pneu-
monia, alter short illness. He came to
this country in 1879, beginning, On Sep
tember I, a three years. engagement al
Harvard college as instructor of the Chi
nese language and literature. His wife
and five children accompanied him to this
country, two of his sons, aged fourteen
and eleven years, being elevated TO the
rank of mandarins before leaving China.
Another child was born in Cambridge last
year, Professor Ko was much respected
by the faculty and students for his super
ior intellectual power and gentlemanly
bearing. At the time of his death he was
engaged upon the translation of his poeti
cal works into English.

Ii has been the lot of the INTELLI-
GENCER in the past ten or fifteen years
to very frequently point out to its read
ers the misconduct of officials in this
county. 1t has exposed district attor-
neys who lied to the court to save de-
PENDANTS to whom they were under polit.
ical obligations, and who multiplied
cases to enrich themselves and rob the
county treasury; public treasurers who
speculated with the peoples money and
put the profits into their own pockets :;
county officers who took illegal fees and
bribes ; guardians Of the public institu-
tions who bought rotten supplies from
political spectators, or supplies of any
kind above the market price, and di-
vided with those whom they helped to
rob the county; legislators who sold
their votes and many other officials who
betrayed their trust. We have supported
our charges with proofs, and, while al
ways anxious and willing to make any
proper correction of a possible misstate
ment, we have at all times been ready to
accept and meet full legal responsibility
for everything published. That this sort
of journalism is estimated as "fuss :"
and "gush" by those who practice a
different sort, and whose columns arc
always open as defense or refuge for
the guilty, is neither surprising nor
damaging to the public interests.

A Stepfather's Crime,

At Scranton, H. G. Potter, of Moscow,
was sentenced to the state penitentiary for
a term of two years and eight months, in
addition to paying fine of 81, 600, for the
betrayal Of his stepdaughter, Lulu Swartz,
the daughter of military chaplain who
died during the war. Lulu's father went
away when she was a child, and never re-
turned. Her mother married Potter two
years ago, and year later Lulu returned
home from the soldiers orphan school,
where she had been educa ted as the ward
Of the state. A short time ago her
mothers husband (Potter) decoyed the
girl away to Bethlehem, where they lived
as man and wife. The members of the
Grand Army of the Republic employed a
detective and Potter was arrested and
brought back for disgracins a deceased
soldiers child. There was great indigna-
tion in the neighborhOod and it was
feared at one time an attempt would be
made to lynch Potter, but the case came
to a speedy trial, with the result already
stated. Lulu is pretty girl of seventeen,
and great sympathy is felt for her dis
treSScd mother.

CHRISTIANS GRIM CUNFEssION.

Leaving His Brother-in-Law Dead in the
Fields and Returning to XIII His Wife.
Curtis Christian and Jonah Tompkins,
brothers in law, residing on Tinker Hill, in
the town of Putnam Valley, ten miles from
Peekskill, N. Y, and eight miles back OF
Cold Spring, went off together yesterday
morning to buy COWS. Late last night
Christian came home alone, baggard and
wild, and declared to his wife that he had
killed Tompkins and left his body in a
small hollow few miles distant.
"And I'll kill you, too," he shouted,
furiously.
He made a dash at bis wife and caught
her by the throat. She was the stronger
of the two. She broke from his hold,
threw him down, and succeeded in eject
ing him from the house. Then she
alarmed the neighbors.
A party was made up at once to search
the hollow described by Christian. 1t
was not long before they came upon the
dead body of Tompkins. Tho head had
been crushed in with stone. The MUIR
derer has not yet been apprehended, and
is believed to have committed suicide by
jumping into a we'll. Jealousy Of Tomp
kins, who was the manager of his father
in-law's farm, is thought to have prompted
the murderer. The murdered man was
about 30 years old.

CARTER,s OMISSIONS.
Some Lapses Of Hts Memory.

New Era.
It will be remembered that in the state
ment We copied from the Examiner, no
doubt made on the authority of Mr.. Car
ter, it was said las 70 his being instructed
to pay but five dollars each for these 1.-THE
shoats], the fact is that one of the inspec
tors said to him they ought to be got for
five dollars -" but the minutes of the
prison board record that "Calvin Carter
was authorized to buy six shoats at price
not exceeding five dollars EACH" Mr..
Carter, in an interview with the New Era
yesterday, called in question the accuracy
of this minute. He is also reported as say
ing that he "never bought anything from
the prison for himself at cost except few
cigars, some boots, dozen brooms and a
basket, tho whole not worth over $40"
There must be some mistake about this, as

ter's account with the prison for 1881,

Relapsing from the frame of mind in
which it conceded that the INrELLI-
GENCER would not willingly libel any
one,' thee Examiner allows a variety of
editors to play Humpty Dumpty in its
columns and exhibits its clown, harle-
quin and pantaloon in full chase through
them after Calvin Carter's pigs. The
historical, Poetical and accidental"
editor are each allowed full swing, and
among them they return to the charge
that this journal has libeled Calvin Car
ter. As the INrELLIaENCER has al
ready denied this allegation and pub
lished the truth, to show that what was
said referring to Carter was printed in
good faith, for proper public information
and after diligent inquiry, it is needless
to repeat it 4; but if Mr.. Carter's special
champions continue to insist that he was
libeled, obviously the proper thing for
him to do is to so on with his libel suit,
if lie ever brought one or to bring one,
if he has not done SO or if he has
brought one and abandoned it, to begin
another. The INTELLIGENCER has no
knowledge, except from hearsay, that
he has ever sued it for libel or ever in
tended to. His friends know that he
was never asked not to do so, nor ever
given any intimation in this quarter that
it concerned the INTELLIGENCER in the
slightest degree whether he brought one
or not. lie is perfectly at liberty to re.
sort to every legal remedy within his
power to vindicate himself or punish the
INTELLIGENCER for any offense it has
committed against the law.
Meanwhile Mr.. Carter and his super.
serviceable newspaper friends will do
well to remember that while his pigs
have not been traced to the prison pen,
he has not explained why he paid his
personal and political friend s. for pigs
not worth more than 81; nor why he
told Mr.. Kaufman that the pigs in his
pen were g for the prison." nor why
as we now learn-he engaged a neighbor
some weeks ago to haul pigs from his
place to the prison.
And when he has explained these
things he may engage himself with an
explanation of the lapses OF memory
pointed out to him by the Ner Era, &C
cording to which it appears that instead
of taking $40 worth of goods last year
from the prison g at cost" he got nearer
| SlOO worth. A prison inspector who
gets his or his neighbor's carpets woven
by convict labor for nothing, and nine
pair of prison boots or shoes per year, at
the cost of the leather. is obviously not
the man to make loud complaint of his
irreproachable character being damaged
by mistaking Steacy's pig with black
spot for Carter's pig with black spot.
