Bonds and interest for Wall
street; bondage and taxes for the
people punctuates the policy of
this administration. In 40 essen
tial does it differ from the one pre-
ceding. The former laid the founda-
ton and prepared the way, the
latter completed the work by the
aid of the leaders of the former.
Flying from one party to the other
alternately will bring no relief to
the downtrodden people. The gov
eminent has become entirely pluto
cratic in all departments. Luxury,
extravaganza and waste at the top,
poverty and squalor at the bottom.
1t is amazing that the people stand
helplessly with ballots in their
hands by which they can at any
time free themselves from this bon
dage to party and outrage by cor
rupt rulers.

Distribution of School Funds.

Under the new law for the dis
tribution of the school fund, which
Mr.. Crothers has reported favorably
from the Committee on Education,
an important change for the better
will take place in the amount of
State school funds received by
several counties. At present the
distribution is based upon the num-
Der of persons between the ages of
five and twenty years, as shown by
the federal census. The act pro-
poses to distribute the money ac-
cording to the number of enrolled
pupils in the public schools who
have attended not less than ten
days in the session.

Murdered.
fOrawhile

| William B. Lawrence was stabbed
to death at the Pennsylvania Rail
road station in Havre de Grace on
Saturday night about midnight.
Lawrence was an iron molder at the
foundry of Armstrong & Co., was
twenty two years old and unmarri-
ed and lived at Perryville where he
supported his widowed mother.
A coroner's jury rendered a YER
diet that Lawrence was maliciously
murdered by William Boulder.
Boulder is thirty two years old and
is a native and resident of Perry
vile. He has a wife and two
children. He was some months ago
convicted of having drawn a knife
upon Lawrence about year ago at
the Havre de Grace depot. He was
after the killing arrested at his
home and was lodged in Jail at Elk
ton,
The story brought out at the
hearing was as as follows: Lawrence
with Boulder and Michael Spaine,
also of Perryville, spent Saturday
evening in Havre de Grade. AT
midnight they went to the station
to take the 1910 train across the
Susquehanna to Perryville. A dis
cussion arose as to the comparative
merits of the pugilists Sullivan and
Corbett, and the argument grew
hot. Boulder, it was said, attack
ed Lawrence and knocked him
down. Lawrence arose and the
two men clinched, Spaine rushing
between them to stop the fight.
Spaine was struck twice and
Lawrence was again knocked down.
Suddenly Lawrence called toSpaine.
He said he was bleeding and begged
Spaine to run for assistance before
he Lawrence) died. Boulder then
ran away.
Spaine found that Lawrence was
badly wounded. DR.. j. H. Coch-
ran arrived in few minutes, but
Lawrence was then dead, He had
moved to the door of the mems
waiting room at the station, which
was about twenty-five feet from
the place where he had fallen. He
left trail of blood along this track.
Justice S. e. Penning was Motif.
ed and a search was made by Con
stable Farr and Bailifs Welsh, but
Boulder could not then be found.
Surprising he had gone to Cecil
county, Mr.. Penning swore out a
warrant for Boulder before Justice
Ward, of Perryville. At 8 O'Clock
Boulder was arrested at his home
by Deputy Sheriffs Mackey and
Boyd, where the officers found hb"

A dagger with h,ade about 81

""Uo. 1t was found by George
Edleman a short distance from the
depot in the course of Boulden's
escape. The physicians testified
that Lawrence's wound in the neck
was of such a character as to pro-
duce death in a short time. 1t
severed the jugular vein. The
wound in the left breast was over
the heart, but was not necessarily
fatal, as it merely reached the
heart sac without penetrating it.
There is but little doubt the men
were over at Havre de Grace drink
ing whiskey.
Boulder was taken to Belair Jail
on Monday. He denied all know

Another Story to the Lost Honey.

The report published concerning the
loss of $50, 900 by Mr.. Jacob Tome, on
the Baltimore and Oxford accommoda-
ton train, and the subsequent recovery
of the money, needs supplementing. Mr..
Tome explains that he had brought from
Washington 500 900 of Cecil National
Bank notes in the sheet form. They were
wrapped in newspaper. The notes were
not yet money, as they had not been
countersigned by Mr.. Tome, as president
of the bank, nor by the cashier.

1t Is safe 10 say there never has been
an evening in Farmville's history when
so much has been eaten. Hundreds of peo-

pig. pickles. duck. chicken, turkey, and
every sweet known to the housekeepers
of this community.
The Farmvile Silver Band rendered
special programmes, being selections
from the highest-grade music. while cha
rades. tableauX, and vocalisms were in
terspersed TO satisfy the varied tastes Of
the vast crowd present. But few of the
vast number OF handsome articles on ex-
hbition were disposed of last night and
many interesting contests are being ar
ranged for each night remaining. Despite
