With much Of its old time indencnd.
encc and vigor the Philadelphia "Iyeu.
ing Telegraph" rebukes those narrow
minded citizens who are fighting the
proposed loan Of the Liberty Bell to
the Cotton States Exposition. "Prob-
ably in no city but Philadelphia, z" it
says, would there have been such an
extraordinary manifestation of mar,
rowness and unwisdom, from every
point Of view, as is involved in the ex.
traordinary action taken by a small
number Of citizens, of good repute in
themselves, but strangely out of SYM

regard to the proposed visit of the
Liberty Bell TO the approaching ma

A movement was begun by the At

days ago, to bring all school children
above tho grade Of grammar schools to

at least quarter of a million will

seminaries and colleges, complain that
their schools will be demoralzed by the
Exposition this fall, and tn meet the
case, an organized effort will he made
to get all such institutions TO give one

Improvements are being made in the
round house Of the Pennsylvania rail
road in this city by which about one
hour will be saved in the firing up Of
an engine. The company has laid an
inch steam pipe around the entire
round house, a T being placed in the
middle OF each engine track, where
connections will be made to the left
side of the engine, directly under the
stack. The whole apparatus will be
connected with the boilers and the live
steam will act as fan or blower to
the engine, which will cause draught
thereby securing the desired end.

The facts that have recently come to |
light about the alleged uprising If the
Bannock Indians confirm the suspicion
that the entire affair was an outrage
conceived and executed by the white
settlers, with the purpose of inducing
the government to wage war Of eStcr-
mination against the Indians There
was not the slightest attempt on the
part of the latter to start upon cam
paign against the whites. They had
violated no law of the land, nor any por-
tion OF their treaty with the general
government. On the contrary, they
were outraged and imposed upon, even
to the extent of murder, by the white
people of Wyoming. To a correspond
ent of the New York "World" CON
stable uamed Manning, who had charge
of certain Indians arrested at Jack
sons Hole for an alleged violation of
the State Game law, made confession
that proves the truth of this assertion.
He said he told his men that the In
dians would try to escape and ordered
them to shoot their horses IL the at
tempt was actually made When asked
il he told them not to shoot the In
dians, he said he did not, but ad
mitted that he supposed it was per-
fectly right to shoot a mere Indian for
trying to escape from arrest, although
he was charged with petty offence
punishable by fine of ten dollars or
Imprisonment for short period. As
a matter OF fact no horses seem TO have
been shot
1t is clear, "Harper's Weekly" says,
that the whites murdered the Indians.
How many were killed is not definitely
known, the number stated varying
from three to six, and including a
papoose. What the Indians assumed
to be the intention of the whites is
indicated by the pathetic story of one
of them who was wounded, and who
concealed his wound for several days,
believing that the discovery Of it by
the whites would lead TO his murder.
Whether the Indians were attempting
to escape or not, the killing was muir
der, and Ben Sinowine, the Bannocl
chief, insists that the attempt was
made because it was apparent to the
Indians that the whites intended tc
kill them. Their "break for liberty
was, in their opinion, break for life
itself. Whether or not the Indians
were guilty Of offending against the
laws of Wyoming, their killing was
murder. Death is not the penalty for
an attempt to escape from arrest on a
charge of misdemeanor. Besides, it is
not likely that any competent lawyer
will agree with Governor Richards that
the State law overrides treaty.
This murder should be punished. Its
perpetrators are known. II they escape,
they and their fellows will be encour-
aged to drive the Indians off the reser-
walton or to kill them all. There has
never been more fragrant outrage
against the Indians, nor one in which
such sure and speedy justice can be
done If the government can find in all
that country jury that will deal fairly
with the murderers of the helpless and
disarmed Indians.
1t is said that General Coppinger
will make d thorough investigation.
But there should be more than an in
yestigation, "Harper's Weekly" con-
cludes, There should be an earnest
attempt to punish the guilty whites.

Mr.. Marble, late superintendent of
public schools in Omaha, Neb., who re-
signed his position on account of the
obnoxious interference of the American
Protective Association in school mat
tiers, calls attention in his annual re-
port to one of the political abuses with
which he has commended. He writes
when Il principal consorts with poll
ticians on street corners and in secret
conclaves, and presumes and openly
claims, by such outside influence, to
control majority of the board; when
a member of the board states in the
presence Of others that he desires this
principal to think him to have acted
differently than his Judgment has die
tated; when such principal, with in
different scholarship, and with very
moderate ability as teacher, assumes
to sit in judgment upon the superin-
tendent, to misrepresent that officer to
his confreres, and even openly to aspire
to some higher position by means Of a
so-called pull upon this board then
selfrespect, not to say tho welfare Of
the schools, would seem to demand that
you take notice Of such conduct, how
ever insignificant the person. 1t is no.
torious that this picture is true to
life"

As one Of the sure indications of
prosperity the New York World"
shows that the report of the New York
savings banks last year showed de-
posits of sl75, 600, 600 and Withdrawals
of s2l0, 900, 600 net loss of $50, 600, 600.
As ii may be assumed that the deposit
ors in savings banks are the most provi-
dent class of workers, this single fact
sufficiently indicates what was then
the condition of trade. A gratifying
change is shown by the report for the
year ended june Both last, just filed.
The deposits for the year increase to
s19S, 900, 600, the Withdrawals decrease
to slS3, 600, 600, giving a net gain of
SIS, 600, 600 on the business for the year.
Contemporaneously with this is pub
lished the report of the Fall River mills
for the July quarter, which shows an
average annual dividend at the rate of
more than 10 per cent paid by 30 cor
porations on a capitalization of over
$40, 600, 000 Such facts AS these the
"World" infers, taken into connection
with the bustling activity in iron and
cottons, leave no room for pessimism
in considering the future. Our fac
torieG are paying dividends. Our wage
earners are increasing their surplus.
Those who last year were living on
their reserve funds are now adding to
them.

Jealousy ia supposed to Have Been the
Cause of the Ant-Jhe Shooting Took
Place at Meis"n'a Campmeeting, Near
Lanrei-A Startling Tragedy.
Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal
Laurel, Aug. 14.-Melson's campmeet-
ing was the scene of shooting ARRAY
yesterday, which will most likely result
In the death Of 14-years-old Dannie
Farloe of Whitesyillo.
Dannie had Just finished promenade
about the grounds with young girl from
Delmar, when Carl Galloway, aged Is
years. called to him. The two went just
outside the circle Of tents when Galloway
faced about and said, called you out to
fight, aud without further notice drew
pistol and fired.
Farloe was hi. in the abdomen and
turned to run, but second shot in the
back, just below the shoulder blade,
brought him to the ground.
The sounds Of tho shots brought big
crowd to the spot and Galloway slipped
away during the excitement.
Young Farloe was carried to the home
Of his uncle, DR.. Farloe, and is receiving
all attention possible, but his recovery is
not expected.
1t is thought Galloway was prompted
to his iiendish deed by jealousy.
While hauling peaches to Laurel depot,
yesterday, Levin Gray noticed large fly
annoying his team. lie stepped out on the
wagon tongue between the mules and
struck at the fly with his hat. This fright
ened the team and it ran away, delnol-
ished the wagon, scattered the peaches
and Mr.. Gray sustained broken leg.
Mrs. Selby Lowe rode TO campmeeting
yesterday on the rear seat of dearborn
wagon. On arising from her scat to get out
the team started forward suddenly and
she fell backward from tho wagon, sus.
taining severe bruises about the head and
dlslocation Of the shoulder blade.

United States has given an opinion
which practically declares vacant the
office of minister TO Mexico, held by
ex-United States Senator Ransom, The
auditor Of tho treasury for the State
Department declines to pass Mr.. Ran
som's vouchers for salary on the ground
that, as the minister was a member of

when ho was appointed to the diplo-
matte post, the appointment was in
violation Of the Constitution. This
view is sustained by Solicitor General

When our manufacturers have had a
little time to reap the benefit of the
free raw materials granted by the new
tariff, says the New York Herald, y
and the new crops are marketed in the
coming autumn, it is practically GER
tain that our export trade will pick up
rapidly. With its improvement the
revenues must be benefited, because
the importations Of dutiable merchan-
disc will increase, and all the activities
of internal trade, which swell the
Treasury's receipts from internal reve-
nue., must feel the impulse of new life

The drowning of seven persons at
Ocean City Md, Saturday, is but
another instance Of the folly that many
people display with respect to boating.
The overcrowding of a small boat is of
itself grave danger, and when incom-
petent management by an inexperienced
man is added, the combination is one
that can be depended upon absolutely
TO result in fatality. Still, it is
doubtful if even this awful warning
will be productive of good. People
will continue to go sailing in small
boats overcrowded and badly handled,
and fatalities will continue to occur.

Greek Consul.
line lie Page Accused of the
Crime.

Chief Crowley and his trusted lieuten.
ants are searching the City over for Ed
ward L. Ranged who, through the assist
ance of girl, Alkaline lie Page, abducted
Adrienne Pavlides, daughter of DR.. D.
PavIides, formerly Greek Consul, with
headquarters in this City, but now sta
toned at Los Angeles.
Nearly seventeen days ago the lie Page
woman, who was working as a servant in
the house of DR.. Pavlides, induced Adj
rienne to take walk and that was the last
seen of them. Ranged, who was known
to be related in some way TO DR.. Pavlides'
servant, had also been most persistent in
his attention to the thirteen-year-old
daughter of the Greek Consul. With the
disappearance of the two women Ranged
also dropped from sight, and DR.. Pavlides
at once concluded that they had forcibly
taken his child away.
For days he could find no trace of the
parties, though every police officer on the
coast was promptly notified OF the abduc-
ton. Thursday DR.. Pavlides received in
formation which led him to believe that
his daughter, with Ranged and Alkaline
lie Page, were aboard the steamer Mexico
bound for this port. Chief Crowley, who,
in the meantime had been furnished with
pictures of the abductors, and also one of
the young girl, was Immediately notified
to meet the Mexico and arrest them, war
rants having been sent him from Los An
geles several days ago.
The Mexico came into port yesterday
morning, reaching her dock at 8:45 De-
tective Anthony was on hand and also J..
Chamon de st. Hubert, who knew the
girl Adrienne when she lived in San Fran
cisco. As each passenger came ashore they
were subjected to careful scrutiny, and
when any evidence of disguise existed they
were required to tell who they were and
whore they were from. The much-wanted
parties were not aboard and the captain of
the steamer assured Detective Anthony
they never had been
1t is believed by the police that Ranged
and the LIE Page woman have slipped the
girl into the City under careful disguise
and that the trio are now in hiding
Adrienne Pavlides is only 13 years old
though she could readily pass for IS or
more. This difference in age and appear
ance is, according to the police, likely to
prove confusing if nothing more. DR..
Pavlides is well known in San Francisco,
his position as Greek Consul bringing him
in close touch with many of the most
prominent business people in the City,
