MURDERERs. IGNORANCE.
The Negroes Who Killed DR.. Hill I'm
concerned as to Their Fate.

BALTIMORE, Md, May 2.-Dr. j..
Heighe Hill, of Millington, Nd, who
was brutality murdered by party of
negroes week ago, held, it is said, a
large insurance policy upon his life.
The amount is placed at SAC, 600 $780,
900 being in one company.
The four murderers who were
brought to this city to save them from
being lynched were put at work this
morning by Warden Constantine scrub
bing up the floors of the cells Of the
basement. They seem to be incapable
Of approaching the enormity Of their
crime.
Their are field andsn-densely
ignorant, with whom even wanton kill
ing is no murder. It is very likely
that a change Of venue will be granted
so as to make sure that the law shall
take its course.

DYNAMITE In ROME.
Az ATTEMPT TO WRECK THE
PRINCES PALACE.
THE POLICE OF ALL THE CITIES OF
EUROPE WILL NE READY FoR
MAY DAY RIOTERS.

LONDON, May ?. Unknown persons
attempted al an early hour Saturday
morning to wreck the palace Of Prince
Massimo in Rome by exploding in the
vestibule Of the palace a heavy petard
loaded with dynamite and scrap iron.
The explosion occurred shortly before
the Prince returned from a social
visit, and there is every probability
that the designers Of the outrage in
tended that the petard should injure
him. In this they were disappointed,
as the only injury was to the vestibule
and to some servants, who were not
fatally hurt by the pieces Of iron with
which the petard was loaded. Some
Of the miscreants who laid the plot
were waiting in the near vicinity for
the result.
The palace guards saw them, and
rushed out to arrest them, but the
would-be assassins succeeded in max.
ing their escape. There was for a
time agreat panic among the inmates,
and the Prince was anxiously awaited.
When he came he was astonished to
see members Of his household running
to meet him.
Prince Massimo belongs to one Of
the oldest Catholic families Of Rome.
The old Catholic nobility are reluctant
to have anything to do with the Roman
municipal authorities; but news of the
affair was carried to the police, and
they at once undertook an investiga-
ton. Several arrests were made 81
persons supposed to have been CON
cerned in the outrage, and when the
facts Of the attempt ON the palace
spread throughout Rome the greatest
anxiety was caused everywhere.

AN IMPEACHMENT.

Judge Cunningham, one Of the men,
bers Of the County Court Of Kanawha,
is undergoing an impeachment on the
charge Of incapacity to perform the
duties Of the Office on account Of habi-
tual drunkenness. This is the same
man who really constituted the whole
County Court Of Kanawha during the
gubernatorial and the Third district
congressional contested elections in
which the rulings Of the court were the
most arbitrary and changed from time
TO time in favor tho republican contes-
tants. Cunningham has plenty Of
ability but has shown himself to be q
most INSCRIPTIONS and servile partisan.
The case has many sensational fea-
lures, one Of which is that Cunning
ham viii attempt 10 prove that his
prosecutors are equally bad or worse
than himself as to the charge Of intem-
perance, and probably less ability to
destroy thereby. Whatever may be
the result the trial does not rebound to
the credit Of Kanawha county but is .

THE rIRsr SLEEPING CAR.

Pullman is credited with building
the first sleeping car, but as a matter
Of fact it is stated that the Cumber-
land Valley Railroad, which runs from
Harrisburg to this city, had two in use
in 1913 and one as early as 1888. The
cars built by this company had stove
in the centre and three births, one
above the other, themiddle birth form
ing the back Of the seat, which was
parallel with the side Of the car. There
was one compartment for men and one
for women, and it is reputed that the
conductor insisted that the male pas
sengrrs should take off their boots
when they lay down. Some few Of
the passengers who sought rest in the
car took off their coats but it was not
customary to disrobe any further than
that. Nearly everything has a Begin
ming, and it is not improbable that the
palaces Of luxury that now travel near
y every road in this country had their
origin in the primitive cars that were
run on the Cumberland Valley.

SIX Have Been Taken from the Central
Theatre Ruins.
PHILADELPHIA, May 2.-The labors
of the searching party in the ruins of
the burned Central Theater were re-
warded about 8 o'clock Saturday
morning by the finding Of three bodies
burned to crisp, which have been re-
cognized as those of Sarah Goldman,
Fanchon Conyers and Williams L.
Bowker, whose stage name was Brooks.
This completes the list Of missing
members of the Devils Auction !"
Company.
A large force of workmen began
work at o'clock on the debris in front
Of the Central Theater, just under the
galleries. This work was undertaken
in consequence of statement that
some gallery patrons are buried there.
While no inquiries have yet been made
as to missing people Who are supposed
to have been in the theater, it is sug-
gested that the patrons Of the highest
gallery included many news-boys boot
blacks, strangers and others for whom
none would be likely to ask. Up to a
late hour to-day no more bodies have
been discovered.
