is alleged, lost their lives through nepli-
gence. The family lives in tumble
down house at Pleasantvllle, and are in
very destitute circumstances. Recently
the children were striker with fever, and
then the mother succumbed. DIR. Sooy
attended them and left quantity of

medicine in reach of the children, but on

the deadly stuff. They were crying for
water, and Mrs. Simpkins being unable
to attend to their wants. the little ones
themselves searched for something to
drink. Getting hold of the glass contain
ing the medicine, the children drank it
all. When the father returned he found
the children unconscious. DR.. Sooy was
summoned, but his efforts to save their
lives were unavailing.

CRITICISM is always in order, and the
action of the meeting on the question of q
new school building has come in for its
share. THE News had its say last week,
and would Test content but for the fact
that one or two persons have expressed
themselves adversely to its remarks, and
have also taken the trouble to state that
we have wilfully misrepresented the con-
dition of affairs with the idea of creating
dissension, by leading the trustees to
imagine they were insulted. To this the
reply is brief. The trustees gained that
idea themselves and expressed it freely
the morning after the meeting.
The other statement that has been free
ly circulated is that the majority of trus-
tees did not approve of the resolution
asking for $4,000; that one member in
sisted upon this proposition and the other
two acquiesced that there might be peace
in the family. The card attached below
will settle this point.
On the evening before the public meet
ing the trustees discussed the question
of appropriation and unanimously decided
to ask for $25, 900, and drew up resolu-
ton to that effect. Another resolution.
reaching the same end, was shown to the
trustees. on Friday evening. and. without
dissenting voice, the paper they had
prepared was discarded and the second
one was adopted. But this card should
settle the point:
MOUNT HOLLY, May 25, 1893
JOSEPH G. KINGDOM
Dear Sir:-In reply to your inquiry re-
lating to the appropriation for new
school building, we would say that the
resolution offered at the meeting on May
10, appropriating $25, ZOO. was shown to us
prior to the meeting and was thoroughly
endorsed and approved by us, as it was
IN strict accordance with the conclusion
reached at meeting of the trustees held
on the night previous.
J. G. Bower,
FRANK DILL,
Trustees
The absence of the name of Mr. Wills to
this card may be explained by the state
ment that the reports in circulation deal
only with Messrs. Bower and Dill, who
are represented as never having APP
proved the $4,000 appropriation. and are
not now satisfied with it."
There is no need Of any controversy on
this subject. nor should there be any
friction whatever, but we do not propose
that the statements in THE News shall be
misconstrued for personal ends. 1t is the
custom of this paper to thoroughly in
form itself on the facts of all its state
ments, publish them, and then it has mo
apology to make" There is no desire in
this case to put funny ideas into the
heads of the trustees, but we cannot re-
frain from calling their attention to the fact
that they are supreme now in this matter
They are to secure plans and decide up
on the manner of building to be erected.
If they choose to take counsel with the
outside public they have q perfect right
SO to do. If they decide otherwise no
body can complain. Whatever may be
done there is one thing they should plain
~ show and that is that they comprise
the board and are not under the control
Of any outsiders.

TUESDAY, MAY 80, 1898.

WHEN Mrs. Sham was called to plead,
in the Mercer courts, to the indictment
charging her with the murder of her son.
there was slight tilt between Judge
Albeit and lawyer Barton, who had
charge of the defence. Mrs. Sham plead
ed not guilty, and Mr.. Borton told the
court that the defence reserved the right
to demur, move to quash the indictment,
or take such action as seemed proper.
Judge Albeit ruled that the defendant
had no such right. and ordered the trial
to take place on the 18th of June. Mr..
Barton declared his inability to get ready
by that time, and, on Judge Albeit In
sisting upon proceeding on that day, Mr.
Barton withdrew from the case. The
decision of the Judge with reference to
a defendants rights Is somewhat novel
to lawyers in this neighborhood. 1t has
always been understood that a prisoner
had the privilege to make motion to
quash, postpone, demur or anything of
like nature, up to the time the jury was
empaneled.

The PROBLEM of how to remedy the evil
of too much exemption from taxation
on account of the fireman clause of the
law is still being considered by the town
ship committee. An examination of the
statute on the subject shows that there
has been a misconstruction of the law.
Heretofore the exemption has been
allowed for poll tax and for property to
the amount of $500. while, in reality. the
exemption is not to exceed S.. If a
mans assessment amounts to more than
that sum then S. shall be deducted; if SIS
or under then no tax can be collected,
The proposition of the township commit
tee to reduce the roll of active iremen
will not obtain, as there can be no dis
elimination man enrolled as active
cannot be put on any other list. The
only way in which any change can be
made is for the companies to resolve not
to furnish the authorities with a list of
members. If, by any means, the amount
obtained by the exemption worked to
the benefit of the companies, it would be
of some value, but as it now stands. no.
body but the individual reaps the re-
ward.

Tho Chicago Times Mayor Carter
Harrison's newspaper, treats Col. st.

tempt. 1t speaks OF him as zone St.
Clair, who halls somewhere from the
wilde Of West Virginia and has demon
strated his capacity for blowing hot
and blowing cold accordingly as the
humor or something else seizes him."
1t is further alleged that "st. Clair has
been pensioner on the Worlds Fair
for a considerable period" and "his
service Is not worth his wage"
The trouble is that Col. St Clair dc.
mics tho authority OF the local directory
to open the fair on Sunday, and declares
that "the army Of the United States can
BIO called in If tho commission think it
necessary" Tho army suggestion is
probably to BIO taken in pickwickian

It gives the INTELuoESCER pleasure
to be able to assure tho Times that Col.
ST. Clair is not an obscure person in
West Virginia, and that West Virginia
is not an obscure state. More than
this, there is reason to believe that Col.
St. Clair is not an obscure or unknown
