Constable has had another hustle
with the p. W. & B. r. r. Co.. in
case of killing two children and a
man at Red Milr' crossing, near
Elkton, two years ago. The case was
taken to Tolbcrt county, but before
trial compromise was agreed to-.

and cost. Constable was the main
lawyer for the prosecution. Al
though an advocate is technically
supposed to be a part and parcel of
the machinery of justice. as justice is
defined by the courts, but in reality
he is not one whit more the abetter
of justice than the shielder Of crime
He is simply hireling who works
for wages and serves the party who
pays him best. Constable is not on.

this fact and they all 90 to him to
help them escape justice. and they
escape.
The prosecutors stand on the "dig.
nifty of the law" and the sacredness
of justice, and Constable laughs in
his sleeve and puts lance through
these cobweb shields every time they
are held up. If the temperance party
who mourn over the decay of justice
and the violation of law would pay
Constable right handsomely to prose-
cute some cases, the "local option
law" wouldn't be such farce as a
majority of them believe.

Ordination.

The Van Buren Quarterly Conference, held
with the Waverly church at Covey Hill, CON-
mencing on Friday last and continuing over.
Sunday was one of the most interesting ses-
sions held by that organization in o long
time
Among its interesting and impressive fea-
lures, was the ordination Of Mrs. Anna Bar
ton on Sunday morning. The church was
elegantly decorated for the OCCASION and
crowded to it's utmost seating capacity by
the many friends of Mrs. Barton from her
old home and surrounding churches.
Especially did the place and the occasion
seem appropriate. 1t was here that Mrs.
Barton took up the work of Christian
teacher, here she taught her first Bible class
in this church she preached her first sermon.
The ceremonies were under the immediate
direction of Rev. T.. ID. Lewis, who was as
sisted by Rev. s. Smith and Rev. Vim. Clark
The ordination sermon and prayer were by
Rev Lewis: the charge by Rev. Smith and
the right hand of fellowship by Rev. Clark
The address was mastery effort, bringing
out in bold relief the position occupied by
Bible women and the approval that God be-
slowed upon their work.
The charge delivered by Rev. Smith was
full of thought and Christian counsel, and
the right hand of fellowship by Rev. Clark
was warm and heartfelt. During the ordin-
alton prayer there were few eyes but we're
dimmed at the earnest appeals for the divine
unction to descend upon and attend the car
didate All must haye felt that the approval
of the Almighty attended the service.

Another Murder.

Our county was the scene Of another Of
the frequent murders that have served, dur
ing the past few years, to bring it into
most unenviable notoriety. It occurred at
Grand junction, on Saturday last, at about
six clock p. IN. The circumstances, IA far
as we have been able to learn them, are
briefly as follows:
Last summer Joe Allen OF Grand Junction,
was arrested, tried and convicted of violating
the liquor laws of the state by selling hard
cider without having paid the tax required
of retail liquor dealers, and was sentenced to
the county Jail for sixty days. The principal
witness against him was John Crocker of the
same place Ever since that occurrence,
there has been ill-feeling towards Crocker,
OH the part of Allen and, as we are told,
Allen has frequently made threats against
Crocker. Last Saturday Allen, having o
revolver in his hands, repeated such threats.
His weapon was taken from him by some of
the bystanders and the cartridges removed
therefrom.
Shortly afterwards, Crocker and three
companions were walking along the railroad
track, Allen and his son Charles young
man of about twenty-one years, being just
ahead of them. The two Aliens were talking
something about band, when the father
Salu 10 the SOD, mere ~ your uruInl
Crocker, hearing the remark, said, Here's
your drum, or IL arm your drum, and stepped
toward them. Young Allen drew q revolver
aud told him not to come any nearer. Crock
er at once stopped, when Allen immedi-
ately began firing at him. Two balls passed
through one of Crocker's wrists, one lodged
in his abdomen, one pierced his heart and q
fifth passed through the rim of his hat.
Crocker exclaimed, {" He has shot me full of
holes," reeled and fell to the earth. He never
spoke again and was dead inside of Ave
minutes.
The Aliens we're taken into custody and,
on Sunday evening, we're lodged in the
county Jail. On Monday, they were arraigned
before Eco. Mortimer Of Hartford, on a
charge Of murder. The examination was
adjourned until Monday, the 9th inst.
Joe Allen was tried about five years ago on
a similar charge. The weapon used by him
at that time was rifle. He was acquitted
on trial, setting mp the defense of self-defense
IL il to be hoped that justice will not again
] miscarry.
