Richmond Il Not DIFFERENTIATED Against In
the Worlds Fair Rates.

Referring to sn article I'm The Times
OF September 18th, as 20 discrimination
against Richmond in Worlds Fair rates
Nr. John ID. Potts. Of the Chesabeake aud
Ohio railroad. says his company has Moth
ing to do with fixing the rate from
North Carolina. but when he read the
article IN The Times he. went Immediate
ly to see Commissioner Carpenter, OF
tho Associated Railways Of Virginia and
the Carolinas, and found that the article
as published was Incorrect Dir. Carpen-
ter gave him the following rates from
Clarksvine. Va, not good in sleeping
cars: so. 10, against $500 from Richmond
s27.35. good in sleeping cars as against
1888 from Richmond. From Warrenton
the rates are $3.50. not good In sleeping
cars. and Sz9.75. good in sleeping cars
This shows that Richmond is not ois~
eliminated against in Worlds Fair rates
via Chesapeake and Ohio, and their rates
are considerably lower from hcnihohu
than from points named by Mr.. Taylor

Demorest Contest at Prospect,

A contest for the Demorest silver medal
was held in Chapel Hall, Monday evening,
Nov 6. The contestants we're six young
men OF excellent abilitJ. They were Char
ley Bowers, Samuel McCoIlough, Charlie
Blake, James McCly m0nds, Charlie Hoeter
and Ira Wilson. The speakers all did well
and it would have been no mistake on the
part of the judges to have awarded the
prize to ally one of them. II is very sell
dom one has the opportunity to hear So
many real good. first class orations, AS
these young speakers gave their audience
on this particular occasion. We don't
say this in any sense TO fstter, for the
truth ought not to be considered flattery
We would like to give each speakers
subject. but haven't the programme al
hand Each Grafton was PHILIPPE at the
demon of intemperance, and we hope each
orator will be as earnest throughout his
life in the warfare against this licensed
crime as he was on the evening of Nov. O,
1893 The medal was awarded to Jas
McClymonds, and Rev. Clark made the pre-
sentation speech in well chosen language
A beautiful present was given To Ira
W ilson and Charlie Hoeter, having been
the rule to give present to all who enter
these contests three times, provided they
are not awarded the medal. No one need
be discouraged. Leaning the power and
ability to speak before an audience is
worth more to a young man or young
woman than a hundred medals are worth,
although the medal is Distinguishing <
feature in the contest. The contests are
gotten up under the auspices of the w. T..
r. o. and especially by Mrs. Rev. Young
who il Supt. Of Contests for Butler county.
Mrs Young will arrange another contest
for New Years night, at which time class

After tEat, there will be six silver medals

Those who hold silver medals are frankie
Dodds, Eddie Young, Jas. McClymonds,
Mrs Willis Pyle and Mrs. Jesse Bowers.
The music for the Contest was made by
Miss Waddell, who is young player OF
great promise.
The people are taking more interest in
these contests than they used to, and the
audiences are growing larger with every
contest. The W. @. r. y. is engaged in a

A Sensational Murder Case.

James Newton Hill of Tarentum was
placed on trial in Pittsburg, Monday, for
the murder of Mrs. Rosa Rotzler, of Apollo.
On the night of March Mrs. Rotzler
was found dead in the east end of the
Allegheny parks. There were two bullet
holes in her head and her throat was cut IN
two places. Directly across her body lay
James Newton Hill with a gasuy knife
wound in his throat The murdered woman
was a widow and lived with her l6-year old
boy at Apollo. Hill lived at Tarentum.
where he has wife Mrs. Rotzler and hlll
were intimate friends. Hill, while work
ing at Apollo, was in the habit OF visiting
the home of Mrs Rotzer.
After the murder in Allegheny park Hill
was taken to the Allegheny General hospi-
tai where he lowered between life and death
for several mont hs. The police suspected
him of the murder and thought that he at
tempted to suicide after its commission.
He was guarded by the police until few
months ago when he was taken to the
county Jail. The grand jury found true
bill OF Indictment charging willful murder
and he was remanded for trial
The puzzling festure Of the case, and the
one that causes the greatest doubt OF Hilis 4
guilt in the minds Of many is that he has
persistently and consistently insisted that
Mrs Rotzler's fatal wounds and his own IN
juries were received at the hands OF another
man. This he asserted while lying on the
operating table Of the Allegheny General
hospital few minutes after the tragedy
with the blood pouring from gaping
wound in his throat, and after being assured
by the physicians that he could not live pn
hour. When his remarkable vitality and in
domitable courage gave him a lighting
chance for his life, although weak and
feverish, he stoutly maintained his inno
cence. He has not deviated once from his
original statement and appears to be buoy
ed up by the consciousness that he Is not
guilty Of the crime imputed To him.
When arraiged before Judges Slagie ana
Collier, Hill appeared 10 be perfectly sell
possessed and nodded cheerfully to friends
whenever he recognized them in the court
room. He wore silk handkerchief about
