HIS ENEMY's HEARTS BLOOD.
Lawyer Hazeitine, Himself Muir.
derer. Shot Down from Behind.

A Stevens Point wis special says ::
W. W. Hazeitine one Of the most promi-
nent attorneys in the State. was shot
dead Just before noon TO day on First
street. He had Just returned from a
drive and after putting his horse in
lvery-stable he started to walk TO his
office, several blocks away. When IN
front OF the Curran House the report Of
uhe-shots wss heard, and Hazeltne fell
TO the ground with one ball through his
head and another through his body.
Death was instantaneous. Three other
shots were fired, but did not take effect.
THE MURDERER.
The shooting was done by John d.
Curran. proprietor OF the Curran House,
and was the result of an old feud. Ha-
Zetine carried q revolver constantly. and
wss noted rs a nervy man. His antagO-
mist came M behind him and shot him
before Hazcltine was aware of his pre-
scnce. Friends rushed to Hazeltlne
assistance but he never spoke after he
fell. CurTan surrendered himself TO the
sheriff and was taken to the Jail. Both
men were very popular. Hazeltne by
his brilliant talents and personal mag
notism had gained host of friends, VINO
wished TO take vengeance on his slayer.
Sheriff Vaughn as soon as he lad his pri
soner lochedup swore ina posse of depu-
ties and put them on guard at the jail
with Winchesters. They were reinforced
10y a crowd OF Curran's friends, who
swore Curran should have the benefit of
fair trial The situation was critical
for several hours. Cooler counsels
finally prevailed and the crowd with
drew from the vicinity Of the Jail. The
friends of Hazeltiue are by no means
satisfied, however, and trouble may oc-
cur at any time.

Cumberland Valley Railroad.
THE ANNUAL REPORT SHOWING THE FL.
NANoTAL CONDITION OF THE COMPANY.

CHAMBERsBuRG, FEB. 81. The
Cumberland Valley Railroad Com
pany has made its annual report to
the stockholders, which will show
the earnings of the main line and
leased roads to be $S44, 404 %. The
earnings of the main line alone were
$774,47652 and the operating expen
ses $575,3l4 95, leaving the net earn
ings at $l99,l6l 81. The per cent.
dividend amounted to $l42,22S
During the year new iron bridge
has been built over the Susauehan-
ma river at Harrisburg at cost of
$244,93l 81, and stone structure
over the Conococheague Greek at
Scotland at a cost of $4,000 SO.
During the year III tons of steel
rails we're laid, 1928 feet of new sid
ing built and SO, 100 cross-ties renew
ed. Including these expenditures
the cost of operating the road was
IA 29-l00 per cent. of the receipts.
In regards to the Martinsburg &
Potomac Railroad, which was sold
under a decree of the Circuit Court
of Berkeley County, w. Va, on the
18th of last November, and purchas-
ed by Colonel Thomas b. Kennedy,
who has given notice that new COM
pany will be organized on the 18th
of March, with the intention of ex
tending the road from Martinsburg,
W. Va, to Winchester, Va, the re.
port says 1.-THE Cumberland Valley
Railroad will doubtless be called up
on to assist the enterprise, and if by
increasing our investment to limit
ed extent we can thereby secure for
the new road an extension which
would give it 8 corresponding in
crease of business, the assistance, IN
the judgment of your board, should
not be withheld.
The report says an additional
freight house will be erected in Cham
bersburg this Spring, and also new
engine house with capacity ofstor-
ing eighteen engines.
In speaking of the death of Thorn
as A. BiddIe, Esq, who died on the
lst of February, at his home in
Philadelphia, the report says: "Mr.
Biddle had been connected with the
management of this company as a
member of the board for q period of
about thirty years. During all this
time he manifested an active zeal in
it's interests, and it is fitting in this,
our annual report, that we should
record our appreciation of his use
fulness and our regret at mis- death. T"

While not imediately fatalit is among

disgusting ills the flesh is heir TO-,
and the records show very few or no
cases Of radical cures of chronic
catarrA by any OF the multitude Of
modes of treatment until the intro
