The Remains OF n Prehistoric Political
Orator and His Speech.


The good people of Brattleboro think
they have discovered natural gas within
two miles of their village, and even now
they see themselves living in another Pitts
burgh. But we hope they will ascertain
certainly, before making too large plans,
that they have not stirred up the remains
of some prehistoric political orator whose
head was bitten off by caratosaurus or
other gigantic beast of the period as he
was about to address his constituents, and
was buried with his long speech undeliver-
ed. 1t is not always safe to count your
gas till you know where it comes from.

CORVALLIS, ORE, May 12.-Dr. j. NJ.
Applewhite, treasurer of thevState Agri.
cultural College, lay in wait last night
near this place and shot Charles KENYON
and Mrs. Kenyon.
On complaint of Kenyon, Applewhite
and Mrs. Kenyon were arrested recently
on charge Of adultery, for which they
were indicted. Mrs. Kenyon turned
States evidence, the charge against her
was dismissed and she returned tc her
husband. The case against DR.. Apple
white is still pending. The shooting is
the outgrowth of the liason, and is SUP.
posed to have been done in fit Of
jealousy.
The shooting occurred near the
Kenyon farmstead, three miles from
town.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kenyon were riding in
wagon when Applewhite stepped out
and began firing. Kenyon returned the
fire, but missed. He received a painful
flesh wound and Mrs. Kenyon only Il
scratch.
The affair terminated by Applewhite
dragging Mrs. Kenyon with him and
disappearing. Sheriff Osburn with
deputies and half hundred citizens
are in pursuit of the pair and there is
q fear Applewhite may be lynched.

The first dose of the poison was not
sufficient to put quick and painless
end to his life. After many consultl.

Some Of the experts went SO far as to
say that Tip was dying by inches at
that hour.

No one was allowed within 200 yards Of
the elephant house.

Special Correspondence OF Every Evening
SMYRSA. May IL. The church trial
Of the Rev. ]. d. Kemp, which unfor-
tuna,e case had been pretty well cir
culated throughout the conference dis
tFict, came oil yesterday morning in the
VI. L. Church Of this town, and was
conducted in strictly private manner
Enough has been gathered, however TO
state few facts.
The defendant, the Rev. j. d. Kemp
of still Pond, Nd, was charged with
immortality in alternating the affections
Of Mrs. Lockhart Of Betterton, I'D,
from her husband. The couple, 1t is
stated, have separated.
Letters were found by her husband
after her departure, written by the de-
PENDANT, which were too ardent in ex-
preston TO be CONSTANT with the posi-.
ton of the parties concerned.
Upon complaint the Rev. j. d. Kemp
was summoned to this town to appear
before q committee of nine ministers to
answer for the charges given.
Presiding Elder Alfred Smith was
chairman, and the committee composed
the following ministers; w. o. Hurst,
Clayton; Albert Chandler, Marydel; j..
A. Artcrs, Greensborough, Md; +. f.
Carpenter, Townsend; j. NJ. Collins,
kcIion; +. II. Haynes, L. II. Hynson,

Irving Watkins, Odessa.
The counsel for the church was the
Rev. \. NJ. Browne, Middletown; coun.
sci for the defendant, w. p. Compton,
Chestertown, aud w. L. S. Murray,
Dover.
They were in session both morning
and afternoon, during which time con-
siderable interest was manifested. After
comforting together the committee re-
ported the following finding;
That they unanimously found him
not guilty Of any immortality, but did
ind him guilty of indescretion, i'm.
prudence and unmInisterial conduct,
The defendant averred that his letters
were only those OF sincere friendship
and written with tue best intentions.
George Harper of Still Pond NJ. L.
Church, who was present at the trial ms
witness, expressed the opinion that
the explanation would be largely salts.
factory with tue people of Still Pond.
The superior conduct which the Rev.
j. ID. Kemp has sustained during an
efficient ministry was greatly in his
favor 1t is not known what action the
presiding elder will take in the matter,
but it is probable that the defendant
will be removed from Still Pond to
another charge, or be left without an
appointment for the conference year.

There is talk in different directions in
regard to the needs of the Park Com
mission, and on account of the continu-
ally recurring refusal of CITY Council
TO make the necessary appropriations
for park improvements, of arranging at
the next session Of the Legislature for
the issuing by the city OF bonds by
which a fund of about $4,000 per
annum may be obtained, which, in id
diti0n to the sum now granted, would
assure the commissioners Of definite

him for his credentials and politely
showed to him the printed instructions
from the bench as To who is entitled TO
the privilege. Barney stormed at the
idea of his being restricted in any way
at all. He fumblcd in his pockets for
the required credentials and exhibited

York, and Delaware and Pennsyl-
yania railroad ticket.
He then went TO the prothonotary's
office. Here he complained of the dis

THE NEW FRENCH DEAN.

Novel and Effective Draining Plan
Adopted by the City Railway Along
Its New Market Street Track.
A peculiar and novel idea in track
draining is being put into use by the
City Railway Co. along its new track
on Market street.
All the way between the two tracks
large broken stone from 10 to 12 inches
in size are be laid to depth of two feet.
The idea, which is called French drain
ing, is for the purpose of draining the
surface water along the tracks. Il will
sink through to the stones and will then
percolate along through the intcrstices
finding its way to the sewers by connec.
tions which will tap it along the route.
Its advantage is to keep the ballast
and roa1.bed perfectly dry. 1t is a new
idea and is the development Of great
many experiments in street draining.
