entity Of killing His Brother.

The conviction of James Campbell,
prominent planter of Monticello, Ga,
for the murder of his brother William,
and of Alkaline Murray for completely
in the killing, has just ended one of the
most sensational trials in Georgia's
history. The Campbell brothers were
old bachelors and each carried consi-
derable life insurance in the others
favor. They owned a fine property,
which they worked together. For some
little time there had been bad feeling
between the brothers because of James
relations with the Murray woman and
because Of other quarrels over property
interests. In July William Campbell
was shot down from ambush while
blowing near his house. 1t was a long
time before the authorities could get
anything like evidence in the case, but
a peculiar cork of whisky bottle be-
longing to James Campbell was finally
found near where the assassin must
have been, and with this as the clew
sufficient evidence was brought TO light
TO convict the brother and the woman.

stanley Turning Color.

The German physician mentioned
above claims that Stanley not only be-
came an immune to the fever, but that
through the African blood transfused
into his circulation, and absorbed,
gradual metamorphpsis has taken
place, with the result that we no long
err behold the fair-skinned Stanley OF
years ago. In his stead We see man
who presents the appearance OF a mu-
latto. and dark one at that.
Accepting the antitoxin theory as ad-
vocated by medical men nowadays, the
question of minimizing one with the
blood OF an immune, is certainly rea-
sonable. Many may claim that the
very pronounced change in SANKEY'S
color is due to augmentation dependent
on disease, such as malarial fever, or
perhaps to liver disorder, which
might cause jaundice. Such sugges-
tions. however, cannot obtain in STAN
ley's case, for it is matter or history
that he suffered from neither one nor
the other during his travels In Africa
Again, tnere are those VIM
the discoloration Is due to the herce
heat of the African sun-a fairly rea'
sonable supposition until we consider
the fact that not only is the skin or Ms
face and hands dark, but the SKIN o.
his entire body is said to be uniform
in color. This, then, demolishes th'
tan theory, and leaves us with the on'
advanced by the Teutonic observer
who firmly believes that Stanley

LLOYD is CONTROLLER.
His Right to the Office Sustained by IA
Decision of the Supreme Court.

Among the supreme court decisions
handed down last week was the case of
Joseph ID. Lloyd, of Wyoming, who was
appointed by Governor Hastings on Au-
gust s, and later elected, as controller
of Luzerne county, but whose title to
the Office was contested by the county
commissioners, who declared the office
by the lower court. Lloyd then took
the case to the supreme court, being an
injunction to restrain the commissioners
from paying bills, and demanding recog-
milton and Office room. The decision of
the higher court makes Mr.. Lloyd the
controller, and declares the act to be
constitutional.
The action of the supreme court in
the case has caused much comment, as
the act in question was thought by
many prominent attorneys to be uncon
stitutional. The act was framed by
County Solicitor Joseph Moore, who saw
the need of a controller for counties of
large population. After he framed the
act in 1892, it was introduced by Sena-
tor Kline in 1893, and, after some
changes, was passed. Abcdnego Reese,
of West Pittston, was appointed con-
troller. A test case was at once made
of the law and it was declared unconsti-
tutional by the supreme court. Then
the original act was submitted again in
1895 and passed. A test case was again
made with the above result.
The county auditors have been ousted
by the decision, and Messrs. Higgs and
Morgan, who received the nomination
at the recent Republican county con-
vention, get nothing for their trouble
even if they are elected. The terms of
the present auditors will expire on
January 1.
Mr.. Lloyd proposes to arrange as soon
as convenient to take possession of the
Office. His deputy will be Robert E.
Donaughey, Of IIazleton, and his chief
clerk Harry Phillips, of West Pittston,
whom he has selected in place of John
M. Jones, who was nominated at the
Republican convention for county com
missioner.

On Friday u man drove up to the
house of Mrs. Ruane, the widow of one
of the entombed men in the Twin shaft
at Pittston, and left a large box with the
remark that "some one" had sent it to
her. The man drove away, and the
sorrowing woman. thinking some friends
had anticipated the wants of herself and
her eight children, broke open the box
The contents brought to light were
of the most astonishing character. The
box was filed with ragged and dirty
garments, rusty bottomess pans, brok-
en- bottles, large number of tracts, a
number of ancient and musty school
books and sack of sour -four.
The poor woman was at first speech
less with surprise, but regarding the
affair as an insult TO her in her sad
condition, she was nearly wild with
grief. Though poor the family have
never been without the necessities of
life. Their home is tidy and the chill
