SENT TO THE GRAND JURY.
Inquest Held in the Myers-Penn
Shooting Case.

The coroner's inquest over tho dead
body of John Myers, the negro who was
shot and killed by William Penn on a
west-bound freight Wednesday after
noon, was held yesterday in the mayors
office at l o'clock The witnesses ex-
amined were Conductor Cheelsman,
Flagman f. NJ Morley and Brakeman
George Smith, n negro.
Tho testimony was that as the train
was nearing Salem, being near the
creek east of the city, about mile
above the depot, Penn shot Myers.
While in Roanoke Penn gave Myers
his pistol and asked Myers to keep it
for him Penn was drunk and had been
.'downed" by the railroad authorities.
lie came back shortly before the train
started west.
At the place mentioned above, Geo.
Smith came into the caboose and asked
Penn for his (Penn) cap, saying that
his own had blown off. Penn told him
TO get it; it was somewhere in the
cab ose. Smith then gave back to
Penn his pistol; Penn handed it to
one. He took it back and said in sub
stance: Look how it shoots" and fired
two shots.
Smith did not see them free, rs he
was just going out of the caboose. They
were fired, Smith thought. about four
minutes after the pistol al been
handed to Penn.
Cheelsman and Morley were in the
cupola at the time looking over the
train and did not see the first shot fired.
Cheelsman looked in time to see the
second shot fired into the side of the
cab and at the same time Myers stag
CURED back. lie came down and made
Myers sit down and asked Penn what
dazed. and asked Cheelsman. "What
have L done ?" in tone intimating that
he was not con C ous of doing anything
serious. Penn was drunk.
Mr.. Armstrong, of Salem, was at the
coal bin, hundred or two wards from
the depot, at the time, and testifies that
he heard two sounds as of mutiied shots,
She sound being somewhat deadened.
A boy who was on top of the coal bin
Mt the same time, Mr.. Armstrong said,
heard the same muffied sounds, but
neither the boy or himself could locate
them.
There is curious conflict in the tes-
timony Of the trainmen and Mr.. Arm
strong. According to tho former the
shooting was mile from the depot. Ac-
cording to the latter only few hundred
yards.
DR.. Sanders said that i'll the autopsy
held it was found the ball entering the
right breast, had gone through one lung
and struck the big aorta. Tho ball was
not found.
Death was caused by internal hemor-
image. Myers died in about ten minutes
after being shot.
The jury found that Myers came to
his deaf tn by being shot with pistol in
the hands of Penn.
The trial bafore Squire Camper was
entered into after the coroners inquest,
and the same testimony heard.
Penn was sent to the grand jury.

TWO ACCIDENTS AT RADFoRp.
One Man Killed and Another Seriously
Injured.

One Man Killed and Another Seriously
Injured.
RADFoRD, Feb. 1.-Two cases of men
being run over upon the Norfolk and
Westesn railroad occurred in Radford
yesterday. The first was that of Il
painter, who was passing under the
name of Gould, but whose real name is
said to be Carr. He called at the Office
of Sturdevan & French and said he was
seeking work lie started away and
when but short distance from the fac
tory, stepped upon the main track in
front of No. l and was Instantly
killed. 1t is said that he was under
the influence of liquor. The second
occurred last night at u point between
Randolph street and the West Radford
signal tower.
Residents of tho inn heard outcries,
but owing to the high wind could not
distinguish the direction from which
they came, nor did they surmise their
cause. The watchnan at the tower
finally came to the assistance of the nun,
who had been struck by train, and was
lying with crushed limbs by the track.
He was an Italian. and the chances are
that he was stealing ride on freight
train and fell OFF. He was taken to the
station in the old town on the yard en-
CINE and the company surgeon, DR.. IL.
l.. Cowan, attended him. To-day one of
his legs was amputatcd, and the last
reports were that he was alive.

W. A. AVIS DISCHARGED.
OF Interest to sIiIi,iamen.

The Connecticut Guardsman says, con-
corning the Second regiment, chat the
team which represented this regiment at
Hartford on the occasion of tho brigade
competition, was competent to take first
place must be apparent to all. It now re-
mains for Privates Schappa (winner of the
medaD and Spencer to explain their phe-
nomenally poor shooting.
This match should teach one lesson at
all events, and that is the folly of choosing
team by holding a competition for place.
The inspector of rifle practice is supposed
to know who the best, and what is more
important, the reliable shots are. Simply
because man with record of five or
more years is unable to get away from
business for the purpose of taking part in
competition for position on the team, it
is 40 reason why he should be left out
This is the regimental team, and the regi-
ment should send the very best men

Major General Nelson A. Miles, COM
handing the department Of the Missouri,
IN his annual report makes recommends
ton that will be of interest to all national
guardsmen. 1t is to the effect that the
National Guard of he country be modified
or assembled at the Worlds Columbian
exposition in 1898, and that congress be
requested to make an appropriation to
pay the cost of transportation. He says
that the aggregate cost for, say 10000
state troops and 10000 federal troops
would not exceed $950,OOO.
Militiamen are just now earnestly dis
cussing the proposed trip of the brigade
to the Worlds fair at Chicago. Some of
them are inclined to think that the whole
thing will dwindle down to one regiment.

THE WATER SUPPLY

Water Company.

Amply Provided for by the evv Haven
Water Company.
Although there is a scarcity of water in
many cities of Connecticut there is not the
slightest possibility that there will be a
scarcity of water in New Haven for an in
definite time, as the New Haven Water
company has large numb of reservoirs,
and more than will be needed for long
time.
The story has recently been circulated
that the water is low in Lake Saltonstall.
Regarding the water supply the following
statement was recently made by Ellsworth
1. Foote, secretary and treasurer of the
water company: "There is wrong i'm
preston in regard to the matter. While
the lake is lower than ever known before,
exposing the supply pipe for several inches
above water, yet there is not the least par
tlcle of danger from failure of this source
of supply necessitating the abandonment
of the Fair Haven reservoir.

Business at the L. Candee Rubber COM
pany's big mandatory is hardly ever
more active. This is one of the high tide
periods of activity at this large shop.
From $4,000 to $4,000 pairs of boots and
shoes are being made every day The pro-
portion of shoes made is much the largest.
The process of making the boots takes a
longer time than the making of the shoes.
Probably at a pinch 10000 pairs of shoes
alone could be made at this factory.
Business at the many carriage manufac-
tories in this city is not as brisk as it is
usually at this time of the year. In nearly
all the shops only moderate degree of
activity prevails. Recently at Henry Kill
lam's factory business took new start
owing to an inflow of orders, and to fill
them all hands are just now very busy.
AS rule, however, the shops in this line
OF trade are not rushing things, but owing
to the signs of business prosperity through
out the country owing to the big wheat
and corn crops and the good prices which
they will command and the heavy bust
