A MARTYR TO PRINCIPLE.
Terribly Burned-WOuld Not Take
Liquor to Save His Life.

A Fall River special to the Philadelphia In
quirer says that Charles Morgan of Port Car
bon, Pa, amid the throes of an agonizing
death yesterday morning demonstrated that
he was teetotaler. and the teetotaler is man
after Neal BOWS own heart by dying rather
than partake of the hated alcohol. Morgan
was twenty-four years of age and for a year
past has been employed as fireman of the
engine at the Portsmouth, RI, coal mining
company's pit The engine house contained
five cylinder boilers, two Of which had only
lately been put into position after doing four
years service in this city; hence they were not
in the best condition. Soonaft firing up this
morning leak was discovered and the boiler
inspector was summoned. He discovered the
escape and went away to get some TOOLS leav-
ing Morgan in charge.
Five minutes later there came the terrible
preliminary screech Of escaping steam that
boilers before exploding give and then stun.

smoke and flying debris Many narrow es-
capes were made. For example, a piece of iron
weighing two tons fell within two feet of the
cage; ten men were in 1t awaiting to be lowered
down the shaft and it covered them with dirt
When the wrecked boiler house was searched
Morgan was. found lying upon his face before
the wrecked furnaces terribly burned. A ply
stefan being called said that his condition was
not hopeless il he could only keep from dying
of exhaustion before he could be taken to his
Office. To keep him from sinking brandy was
offered him, but the victim pushed it away,
family declaring he would die before he would
ever touch liquor. He had sworn it and would
keep his oath. And he did. dying from ex.

TERRY MEANT MURDER.
Testimony Of Justice Field-His Rela-
lions With the Deceased.

In the Maggie habeas corpus trial In San
Francisco yesterday Justice Field testified
He detailed the story Of the killing Of Judge
Terry at Lathrop. He said that 'when Mr.. and
Mrs. Terry entered the dining room Mrs.
Terry glanced at me for . moment and then
turned about and left the place. Judge Terry
seated himself, but arose immediately and came
toward me. Before realizing what he intended
to do / felt powerful blow on my cheek. !
turned around and saw Terry's giant form
towering over me, with his clenched fist up
raised then heard Maggie say: stop, I am an
officer then heard two pistol shots in quick
succession and saw Terry fall to the floor. I
was dazed for moment, but soon realized that
Terry had received . death wound, and arose
and left the room"
Justice Field further testified that he be-
lieved that II Maggie had not shot Terry he
(Field) would have been dead within the next
i've seconds. The expression of Terry's face
when he raised his hand to strike Q second blow
could not be mistaken. 1t was, full of malice
and murder. Justice Field declared that he
had never had any difficulty with Terry prior to
the Sharon decision o year ago. They had been
on the most friendly terms. = Terry had often
tried cases before him, and on entering court
had always spoken pleasantly. During the last
year or two, however, he seemed to have en-
tlrely changed and to have lost his respect for
the courts. Justice Field added that the story
OF his having asked Terry to support him for
president some years ago was pure fiction.
Justice Field was not cross-examined
Mr.. Maggie will probably be examined today.

THE BEHRING SEA QUESTION.
Home Government Will Not Interfere
Canada Must Lookout for Herself.

Sir John Macdonald returned to Ottawa,
Ont, yesterday in consequence, it is under
stood, Of the receipt BY the Canadian govern
ment Of important dispatches from England
The text of these dispatches, though not posi-
lively known, is said to be q tacit refusal on
the part Of the imperial authorities to allow
the Pacific squadron to interfere in the Behring
sea difficulty. Canada, it seems, must settle the
difficulty itself, as the evident intention of the
home government 10 to throw the colony on
its own resources. This il further corroborated
by the fact that Canadian affairs were ignore
in the recent speech of the queen.
The propagation of the British house Of COM
mons and the sudden unannounced return of the
premier was the signal for q cabinet meeting.
which was held yesterday and lasted over two
hours. All the ministers were present except
Sir John Thompson, Hon. E. Dewdney and
Hon. Mr.. Foster. All documents received thus
Tar from Victoria respecting the recent seizures
by the US. revenue cutter Rush, were under
consideration. The members Of the govern
ment, 1t is understood, are Of the opinion that
the United States will relinquish its claim to
exclusive sovereignty in Behring sea, The
present delay can only be accounted for by the
fact that England has with strange reluctance
not tnterfered in any way beyond reiterated
demands for the appointment Of Q convention
to settle the question. The claims for compen-
sation viii aggregate ct least 100000 They
viii be transmitted to the imperial government
decisive action.

- NOTE THE RESULT: -

THE STAR HAS MORE THAN
THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR
SUBSCRIBERS and MORE THAN
FIVE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR
READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY
PAPER IN WASHINGTON. IL is de-
Mvered regularly by careful carriers at
the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER
THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE

leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY
MEMBER OF THE FAMILY.
They know that IL prints all the news,
and has only the Interests Of the people
of the District In view, with no partisan
measures to advocate, and no private
schemes to forward. They know it, I'm
short, to be THE PEOPLES PAPER,
and nothing else. As an ADVERTISING
MEDIUM it Is, therefore, ABSO-
LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. IL b
I'm fact worth more as q means of reach-
ing the public THAN ALL THE
OTHER DAILY PAPERS In THE
CITY TOGETHER.
Furthermore, In proportion to the re-
turns IL gives its patrons, ITS ADVER-
Using RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST
IN THE CITY.

TWENTY-FIVE KILLED.
Possibly the Number Of Negroes Placed
Beneath the Sod is Greater.

A special to the New York Herald from Green
wood, Miss, said: Twenty-Five negroes and
possibly more who were working ON a cotton
plantation on Monday morning now rest
beneath the sod in LeHore county riddled by
bullets. The names Of those killed 80 far as
ascertained are: John Boyker, Dol Wharton,
Monroe Jones, Scott Marsh, Warren Smell,
Theyton Lock, Ben Lock and Warren Beck
worth.
They were killed for resisting arrest. One
was killed on Monday or Tuesday and the
others Wednesday and Thursday.
The leaders of the instruction, Geo. Allen
and Oliver Cromwell, have both escaped,
though it is thought that Allen was captured
last evening. Cromwell was caught in jackson
Wednesday, but for some reason was turned
loose.
The negroes are in frightful state Of fear,
and two have gone crazy over the excitement.
The negroes have threatened to burn every
house in Lefore county, and every house is
being closely guarded. More than 1000 labor
ers have quit the fields and the cotton and corn
needs gathering badly.

In conclusion, the public should bear
In mind this one significant fact: THE

to impress the public. ITS CiRCULA-
TION Is SWORN TO; Its PRESS
ROOM Is OPEN 10 THE PUBLIC;
and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED
by any one having an interest i'm their

TESTS, which few papers invite, and
which those that boast most are least
able to stand.

From the Chicago Tribune
''Mr. Slasher." inquired the managing editor,
show did you like the play at the Thespian last
night?'
Its a beautiful play" said the dramatic
critic enthusiastically. It is full of lofty sent-
ment and elevated thought. In fact, there is
not an impure idea. suggestion or situation in
the whole production from first to last"
"How long is the play to run?'
''The engagement 10 for three months"
'Mr. SHARPLY" casually suggested the manaR-

later, 1T will be well, perhaps, for you to col
lect all advertising bills promptly every week

The Only Way to Become q Capitalist.
Washington GLADDEN. in the Forum.


Washington GLADDEN. In the Forum.
Somebody must save money, and the people
who save it will be the capitalists and they will
control the organization Of industry and receive
the larger share Of the profits. If the working
men will save their money they NAV be not
only sharers Of profits but owners Of stock and
receivers of dividends. And the workmen can
save their money if they will It is the only
way in which they can permanently and surely
improve their condition. Legislative reforms,
improved industrial methods, may make the
way easier for them, but there is no road to
comfort and independence. after all, but the
plain, old path Of steady work and sober saw
ing. If the working people OF this country
would save for the next five years the money
that they spend on beer and tobacco and base
bali they could control a pretty large share Of
the capital employed in the industries by
which they get their living, and they could
turn the dividends of this capital from the
pockets Of the money lenders into their own

ton of wealth and Of promoting its diffusion

this. I wish the working people would try it.
