KILLED IN A QUARREL
Dispute Over Wages Ends a
Life.
LIGHT KEEPER AT MOUNT COFFIN
Shot by Hunchback Who was in
His Employ-Murderer
Arrested.

Portland, Sept. 2.-Charles Aslmus. a
laborer. shot and killed James Green
wood, a government lightkeeper. at Mount
Coffin, a small place on the Washington
side OF the Columbia River about 20
miles below st. Helens. There were no
witnesses to the affray.
Aslmus who is a hunchback, when ar
rested gave his version of the shooting
and its cause as follows: He had been
in the employ Of Greenwood. who for
scme reason refused to pay him his
wages. The men quarrelled over the
matter for about week. This morn
ing about O'clock Asimus made another
effort to collect the debt. He went to
Greenwoods house and called him out.
Words ensued and Aslmus declared II
Greenwood did not pay him he would
whip him. Greenwood made an insulting
reply. After further parley Greenwood
said he would go into the house and
get the money. By this time Aslmus
had worked himself into rage and he
tCld Greenwood he must pay him then
and there. Greenwood then told Aslmus
to go to HI" Asimus drew pistol
and Greenwood started to run. Aslmus
fired, the bail struck Greenwood in a
vital spot and he died In few minutes.
Aslmus was arrested and taken to Ka-
lama where ne was Jailed. Greenwood
leaves a wife and five children. He was
keeper of the channel light station just
below Mount Coffin. Asimus is an un.
married man.

Not Much Comfort for MIR. Higgins.

Mr.. Henry G. Conrad contributes to
the Morning Nccs rather interesting |
letter touching upon the right Of the |
Governor to appoint United States
Senator in the contingency that now
seems likely to prevail in this State
upon the adjournment Of the General
Assembly. 1t assumes that the Governor
will have the right to appoint the
Senator, should the Legislature fail to
elect, and is doubtless intended 10 en-
courage Governor Marvil into entertain
ing the same opinion, and to comfort
Senator Higgins with tho hope that he
may yet be Senator, even should the
cruel Republicans of the Legislature
persistcntiy refuse to elect him.
The incident related by Mr. Conrad
occurred over one hundred years ago.
On September 10th, 1893, George Read
resigned the Office OF United States
Senator to accept the post Of Chief Jus
tce that lad been rendered him by
Governor Joshua Clayton. The Legis-
laturc assembled the following January
and ON the 14th day If the month met
in joint session for the purpose Of yot-
Ing for Senator. The FIRST ballot, how.
ever, resulted in tic between George
Mitchell aud kenscy Johns, each OF
whom received fourteen votes, but with
out taking another ballot the two houses
separated, and did not come together
again during the session, which al.
journcd leaving the Senatorial vacancy
untitled.
The question Of the right Of the Gov,
ernor To appoint, under these circum
stances, naturally came mp, and Gov
ernor Clayton was assured by such dis
tinguished authority as Chief justice
Read and Nicholas Ridgely, that he hat
the right to appoint. He did SO, an,
named Kensey Johns.
But here all analogy favorable t
Senator Higgins ends. Mr.. Johns tool
his gUbcrnatorial credentials 10 Wash
ington, but the committee on election
| of the Senate reported that session q
the Legislature having interviewed be
tween the resignation OF MIR. Read nh
the appointment of Mr.. Johns, the Gov
crnor had no right to make the appoint
ment. Tins view was sustained BY tn
Senate, bya vote of 90 to :, and Nj
: Johns was not admitted A year late
the Legislature elected Henry Latino
Senator.
And SO, when the story is considcre
in its entirety, it will be seen that NJ
: Conrad's interesting paper really col
vcys very little comfort to Mr.. lliggin
!, Taken also, in connection with the +,
? cent action of the Senate in two similg
cases, it shows that established pr
= cGdent will prove a serious bar to NJ
= Higgins admission to the Senate throug
! the favor Of Governor Marvil.

The Compulsory Education Meeting.

The meeting in the interest of COM
pulsoly education, held at the Opera
House Monday i5ht was notable local
event, in II way, and may result in call
ing public attention not alone to the
subject of compulsory education, but to
the more important question Of the gen.
cral educational interests in this state.
The principal speaker Of the evening
was the Rev Dir. A. d, Mayo of Wash
ington, D. c., who spoke more for cdu-
cation than for a compulsory system.
Ia fact, il must be admitted that be tore
the Compulsory Education bill now be-
fore the Legislature into condition
little short Of tattcrs, but Dr. IIulburl
succeeded in patching it into prosentl.
Die shape again.
There is much food for reflection in
the opening remarks made BY Mrs.
Benjamin Nields, who followed Dr.
Mayo. She said; "Since we began 10
advocate this measure We have met
with many sad surprises, The most
startling is the discovery that there c&-
lists in this state to-day the old idea
prevalent in the slave holding States
prior to 1850, that only favored few
in each State should receive the benefits
Of education. That the rest, the great
masses Of the plain people, are the dust
of the earth to be trodden under foot"
Probably the most startling discovery
