The Wheeling Tragedy.

A Wheeling wv. Va.) dispatch to the
Washington Post has the following in re-
gard to the killing of DR.. George Baird by
DR.. George l. Garrison: "Opluion is di-
vided as to " hether the shooting was
! UNSUITABLE. he circumstances leading
up to the tragedy were peculiar, and not
without dramatic features Garrison,
who is a comparatively young man. had
been, when student, protege OF the
man he killed, and they were united with
strong bonds of friendship. 1t was
through Balrd's influence that Garrison
was first elected health officer, both being
Democrats SO warm was their friend
ship that Dr. Baird performed the duties
of Office for Garrison while the latter at
tended a course OF lectures at Philadel-
pha, and forwarded to that city to him
the salary of the Office each month. Since
then Garrison has become a leading ply
stefan.
at so happened that when Garrison's
first term expired Bard's eldest son be-
came a candidate for health officer, but,
as he had four years before left the Demo
cratic party, Garrison opposed him and
succeeded in defeating him. DR.. Bard
resented what he considered a piece OF
ingratitude, and from that time dated the
bitter feud which ended IN the tragedy
Baird was as relentless an enemy as he
had been warm as friend, and pursued
Garrison to the end. Every time he met
hun in the street or elsewhere he hurled
epithets at bin, and charged him with
having negro blood in his veins. Garrl-
son says he bounded hIm until life was
made torture. On two occasions recent
ly patients on entering his office found
him IN tears, when he would spring to
his feet and cry out, MY God, must l 60
through life bounded by this man; must
| continue to bear his insults and not
resent them 2
"Garrson tried to avoid his enemy, but
once, two months ago, they met at the
city hall, words passed, and Baird was
knocked down. This widened the breach,
and hostilities increased until Saturday,
when they met face to face. Baird hurled
the usual epithet at Garrison, and the
latter shot him dead"

English Capital Subtracted Itself

Virginia has just bad an object lesson
as to the difference between British free
trade words and actions that speak more
loudly for protection. Last year new
iron manufacturing town was started in
that STATE and named Glasgow. An En-
glish syndicate agreed to put 81 10000
into industries at Glasgow. Election
came, Virginia votedssoidly for free trade,
and helped the country to elect House
of Representatives in favor of repeating
the Mckinley bill. The English syndi-
cate weakened, aud forfeited deposit OF
S25 .0C0 rather than take the great risk
which the American free traders told
them there was in carrying out their
bargain, and if it were not for American
capital, invested by men who do not be
lieye the predictions of free trade papers
and who know that n Republican Senate
and a Republican President will BLOCK
free trade legislation for at least two
years. Glasgow would have suffered q
serious relapse. We wonder how much
longer Virginia will go on blindly voting
for free trade in Wow of sach experiences
as this.-N. Y. Press.

The Dulanv's Honeymoon.

PnTsBURG, PA, March 5.-Mr. and Mrs.
X. l.. Dulany, bridal pair from Fauquer
county, Va, forty miles from Washing
ton, will in q few days be dismissed from
the West Penn Hospital, this city, where
they have passed sixteen weeks honey
moon, strange and unparalleled. On No

injured in collision on the Pennsylvania
Railroad. near New Florence. Last Tues
day, for the first time, Mr. Dnlany was
permitted TO walk aione. Mrs. Dulany as
yet is scarcely able to move about on
crutches.
So interested has the whole West Penn
Hospital been in the young patients that
| to-day two weeks ago, when Mr.. and
| Mrs. Dulany rolled about for the first
time in their INVALID chairs, was an oc'
caslon of general rejoicing. Though per-
feet strangers, the young couple have
made an envlable list of friends since their
detention in this vicinity, and are the OBJ
iect of social attention. This week they
are the guests Of Mrs. John McCleave, of
Lakewood.
"a strange honeymoon, truly" said the
groom, in chat with reporter. but,
| LAYING aside those first few days pain
and suffering, augmented by the anxiety
of each one for the other, we claim the
championship of the happiest honeymoon
n America. We have cheered each other,
,onsoled each other, and have kept each
other from growing impatient over the
enforced delay which has stretched It's
length along for sixteen weeks. My
sweetheart Anne Carter, and | were

Then came the crash, the means, the I'M
consciousness. We were brought into the

unconscious for long time, and l near

able to move. My wife was cut severely
about the head and her ankles were
crushed, while my Injnries were all in
the back.

well. but as soon as we are able to travel
we shall 90 back to the old Virginia home
until it is prudent to make another start

still have each other has overbalanced
any tendency to repining, and, besides,
my wife has shown such patience and
womanly nobility and resignation that !
do not dare grumble. But if anybody had
