Eddie KILLER Dead.

A sad accident happened at Mar
vim Sunday. Taylor Brothers have
at their barn a 22'target gun, which
they loan to travelling men, when
they take them trips through the
country. John Taylor, son OF Ed.
Taylor, a boy OF twelve years, has
asked for the loan Of the gun but has
always been refused. Sunday he
went down to Marvin in the hack.
and stole the gun away. He, with
bis brother Arthur and another COM
panion, occupied the front seat in the
vehicle, and had the gun under a
blanket, laying across their kne es.-
When in front Of Fred Miller's near
Marvin, Eddie Miller a lad Of thir-
teen stopped the hack, and gong up
to the side OF the vehicle, handed
John Taylor some candy. John
reached for it and in some way dis
charged the gun, the bullet piercing
Eddie's heart. The wounded bow
grssped wheel, said ooh. N.Y." and
fell to the ground corpse The re-.
mains were carried into Mr. Millers
and later on to Ira Taylors, Mrs
Taylor being tho dad boys mother.
The Taylor boys came to town, and
told the sad news. Since the acct.
dent John Taylor has been heart
broken, and takes the death Of hin
friend very hard. No inquest was
held as DR. Nelson, tho coroner,
deemed it unnecessary. The funeral
was held Monday at Marvin aud won
conducted by Rev Fl Ii BoweA Tha
deceased boy is highly spoken Of,
This happening should he a sad
warning to all children, that disobsd-
ence always brings disaster.

The southern companies referred to
have the money which is at stake, and if
the Jury decide that the their" refers to
them, they will keep it. Ifthey hold that
"their" refers to the Adams company,
then the Adams company will get it. The
sentence occurs in contract between
the Adams company and the Southern
Pacific Railroad company for five years.
The account adds:
ut is said that the Southern Pacific
companys lawyer did not see the posi-
biIities in the queer bit of grammar until
long after litigation had been begun. In
the sentence under dispute appear the
words adams company is, and the
southern companies claim that the word
company is, therefore, written in the
singular sense and the word their can
not apply to it. If the writer had meant
to apply to the Adams company he
would have used the word its instead
of their The other side claims that the
word then must refer to the Adams
company, because the latter is the
nearest noun to the disputed pronoun

A $4,000 Puzzle.

A fortune Of $11S,000 is hanging on
the grammatical construction of single
word in the superior court of San Fran
cisco. A jury among whom there is not
school teacher or any one claiming to
be an authority on grammar, had, upto a
week ago, devoted - days to the con-
sderation OF the point, and at last ac'
counts the case was still unsettled. The
learned judge and some hall.dozen high
priced lawyers had been helping to dis
entangle the intricacies of the problem.
The prize depends on the exact mean
ing of the word "their" as it appears in
clause in contract. 1t is plain that
the word is pronoun standing for an
antecedent noun in the sentence, but
there are two such nouns, and the point
is as to which it refers. This is the
Sis, 900 sentence:
"And at their option the Adams COM
pany is to have the use of all the ma
chinery and coal hosting apparatus now
in use by the southern companies"

tons letters describe her almost uncon-
trollable rawlings and tears.
She made no plans TO join her husband,
but left West Point to seek her fathers
home in Philadelphia. But by an order
of the authorities all Of Arnold's papers
had been seized, and among them the
letters of Maj. Andre were found. Simple
they seem to us now, but in the condi-
ton OF public sentiment at the time they
were so construed as to lmplicate Mrs.
Arnold in the treason of her husband,
and by an order OF the council she was
compelled to leave the state, nor was she
to be allowed to return as long as the
war continued.
Sadly the woman, still little more than
girl, started on her journey across
New Jersey to rejoin her husband, who
was then in New York. Several times in
her Journey when her coach entered vii.
lagos where the people were preparing
to burn or hang the traitor in effigy, the
deed was postponed till after she had left
the town.
From this time forth her life was under
the shadow. Her husband had left the
Americans, but he had not gained the
British. The long war came to close,
and for a time Mrs. Arnold resided at
St. John, N. B., with her husband, whence
reports came that she had regained
part of vivacity and was fascinating
woman.
However, their home was abandoned
soon and they resided in London. An
American visitor wrote back at one time
OF having seen Benedict Arnold and his
wife standing together before the tomb
of Andre in Westminster Abbey.
Benedict Arnold died three years before
his wife, but not even her friends knew
much OF her life in London, where she
continued to reside. Margaret Shipper,
the light-hearted, gay girl of Philade-
pha, had become Margaret Arnold, the
widow Of the traitor, the man without a
country or friend. Broken in spirit, pre-
maturely old, she laid the heavy burden
down when she was only 43 years OF age.
