Gray haired Daniel Carlisle. of Lees
burg, was next called by the prosecution.
He is the father of the unfortunate young
man, and while he was eight miles away
from the scene when the crime occurred,
he added some important testimony.
In response to message on the night
OF the 18th Mr.. Carlisle hurried to Fries
mill and found there the dead body of his
son. The poor fellow was lying on the
shed floor.
Whlie Mr.. Carlisle was standing by the
dead body of his son, Shaw came out OF
the house with constable Reeves. Shaw
SAID TO him that he had shot young Car
Isle but 1t was the result of an accident.
Later, said Mr.. Carlisle, he heard a
voice behind him saying, "Well I've

Jesse Reeves, genuine counterpart
in face and figure Of Senator Matt. Quay,
came on the stand. He was called to re-
late something said by Maggie Bozartb,
but he declared Maggie had said nothing
to him. The statement had been made
by Maggie's mother, and could not be
shown.
There was some other testimony show
ing Simon Shaw to be a man of peaceable
habits and awabiding citizen.
The gun that killed Stultz Carlisle
came into the possession of Shaw by a
trade with Clarence B. Wills, station
agent at Manumuskin, so the latter testi-
fed. When he traded the gun it was
cracked at the grip, so much so, that he
had the stock wrapped with twine. This
was shown to make it appear that the
stock might have been easily broken in
scuffle.
Henry Reeves was of the opinion, so he
testified. that Stultz Carlisle was a good
little man, meaning by that he was
muscular and athletic, and always quite
active.
The big card of the defense was now
played, Simon B. Shaw, the old man
charged. with the awful crime being
called to the stand. He walked across
the floor to Clerk Trenchard and took the
solemn oath, and then seated himself
comfortably in the witness chair.
shaws Own Story
For the first time since the date of
Carlisle's death, Simon B. Shaw made a
public statement in detail of the tragedy.
In soft, low, rather musical voice he
told his story. Fifty-nine years ago he
was born in little home near Fries mill,
and there he has spent his rather un-
eventful life, excepting three years,
while he was engaged fighting the battles
OF his country, in the Union army. He
enlisted in Company B., 10th N. J. Regi-
ment, and was corporal when he marched
to the Southern battlefields. He was
engaged in many battles, and at Spottsyl-
vania Court House was wounded by a
cannon ball, and suffered wound which
made several operations necessary in his
later years. Once he was promoted
upon the battlefield fer bravery.
Shaw then told of his quiet home life
in Fries Mill. Explained how he had
engaged Wilhemina Wilson and Laura
Silvers at different times as his house
keepers. During Laura Silvers' reign as
domestic Stultz Carlisle often visited her,
and accepted many times his hospitality,
and by these frequent visits Shaw and
Carlisle became very good friends.
He agreediwith the other witnesses con-
cerning the weather on the night of the
18th of september, of the visit of the
girls and the gunners in the early even
ing, OF the approach of the Leesburg peo-
pie. and the quickly dispensing of the
party. leaving him and Mrs. Wilson
alone in the house.

In an interesting way he continued his
story, until he came to the period when
the Leesburg party arrived. He ex.
changed courtesies with Cornelius We'll
den. A little while later he heard Mag
gle Bozarth upon the shed, and he went
to the door to order her homo about her
business. She went out about the wood
pile, and for few moments stood ont
there and made a good many loud re-
marks. Picking up his gun, which he
Kept loaded, he went out in the shed, and
with the idea of frightening the party he
fired in the air, and went into the house,
He again loaded his gun, and he heard a
voice from the outside inviting him in no
polite terms to come out and shoot again.
He said to Mrs. Wilson he thought he
would. She said don't shoe. any more.
He went out however, holding his gun
in his it hand, with his right hand upon
the grip. AS he reached the shed he
noticed Maggie Bozarth standing by the
wood pile. She was easily distinguished
from the very light dress she wore.
AS Shaw went in the shed, the door of
the kitchen closed, and it was so
dark that he could not see anything.
Suddenly he felt some one grab his gun
barrel and an attempt was made to wrest
it from him. Shaw retained his grip upon
the weapon and there was sharp tussle.
Without warning he was struck power
full blow upon the face, the force of the
blow knocking him off the shed to the
ground. In falling the prisoner involun-
tarily moved out his hand to save his
head from coming in contact with the
ground. The gun passed under Shaw's
body as he fell, and the stock was broken
off. Shaw's assailant kept on pulling at
the barrel of the gun until suddenly the
weapon was discharged, there being
dull. mauffied sound. Then Shaw pulled
at the gIn and there was resistance upon

one-third of the mill pond rights at Fries
Mill, and he with two guests were at the
club house on the 10Th of September. For
fifteen years he had known Shaw and
had never heard anything against him.
Guy King was called, and he corrobor-
ated Mr.. Hewitt's testimony in it's en-
tirety. adding nothing new.
During the cross-examination, Judge
Westcott objected to some questions and
made some remarks, which caused Mr..
Logue to ask:
Judge, would like to have it deter
mined how much of this case you are
running? You seem to be bossing the
whole thing"

Judge Ludlow, 1--WE will try and be a
part of these proceedings ourselves"

Samuel Camp disputed Laura Silvers'
testimony to the effect that she told him
after the shooting, that she saw Carlisle
and Shaw tussling.
Walter Carlisle's testimony was again
attacked, this time by Thomas j. Mar
gott. He said that Walter told him after
the inquest, that since he had gotten re-
ligion he had been troubled in his mind
because he had sworn falsely against Shaw
at the Coroner's inquest. He explained
to Mr.. Margott that he had seen Stultz
strike Shaw vicious blow before the
shooting occurred.

The editor of Missouri paper gives
this pointer on the virtue of advertising:
When we were publishing a paper in
1877 in Mt. Vernon, H., On the second
floor, store was opened in the room un-
der our office. The senior partner CAME
upstairs and contracted for three columns
of space for one year with locals each is
sue and 2,5oo dodgers each week. He
said it was snap to get into town
where the other business men did not
advertise. The firm started on borrowed
capital. In less than three years it had
money enough to start two stores one in
Sedalia, one in St Louis. It dissolved
partnership and one partner took field
to himself. Byron Nugent was the part
ner who made the contract and who is
now senior member of B. Nugent & Co.,
Che great St. Louis house. He not only
owns the building and grounds, but il
now erecting modest little cottage home

that some of the old moss-backs who were

Nugent ever saw the place are still
there, grumbling about dull trade and
hard times"

A break in the Standard Oil
pipes which cross the Susquehanna
at Shenk's Ferry, in Pennsyl-
vania, occurred Monday, and has
already ruined the famous -shad
fisheries in the river.
Crude oil is running 30 thickly
that it can be scooped off the sur
face of the water in considerable
quantities. The few shad which
have been caught taste very
strongly of the crude petroleum,
and old fisherman say the break
will have to be repaired at once,
as the shad will return to tidewa-
ter and seek other streams.
Susquehanna shad have long
held the reputation of being the
finest caught, and the break may
entail great loss to the fisher.

Richmond Times,

One of the most interesting po-
litical stories of the year is that
which comes from Brunswick, Ca,
to the effect that Capt. II. w.
Reed, who was Tom Watson's
rlgh-hand man during the late
presidential campaign, is now ON
advocate of gold, and has gone
extensively into the mining of that
metal in Mexico. Mr.. Reed was
q bank president, and astonished
his friends in banking circles by
adopting Populism. He was a
delegate to the St. Louis conven-
ton, and afterwards became a
member of the national commit
tee of the Populist party. He
was subsequently, a member of the
standing committee of three, head
ed by Mr.. Washburn to direct the
canvass and to bring about an un-
derstanding between Watson and
Bryan. 1t was in this way that
l.he shecame the mouth-piece of Mr..
Watson, and resisted all effores at
fusion upon the electoral tickets.
As soon as tho election was over.
however, Mr.. Reed went to Mexi-
CO, and has just returned. He
says that he now recognizes the
fact that gold is the money metal
Of the world, and he has gone into
tthe mining business. More re-
markable yet, he says, that he can
secure labor at 81 cents a day in
Mexican money, which is saving
Of $3.50 a day on that score, over
mining In the United States.
Mr.. Reed, therefore, confesses
not only that gold is the money
metal of the world, but in the
free-silver country of Mexico, Ia
Dor can be had for about one
fourth what it costs in the United
States. The telegraph also in
forms us that he will pay visit
to his friend, Tom Watson, and
talk the situation over, If he
should succeed in converting Mr.
Watson to the gold standard, he
will throw Populism into spasnls.

"A recent dispatch from New York
to the Chicago Inter Ocean shows very
plainly why the people have cause for
complaint against the Standard Oil Com
pany and kindred trusts. The high price
at which the watered stock sells and the
immense dividends paid upon it are
proofs of oppression and illegal profits.
The dispatch says: "The Standard Oil
Company stock sold Tuesday at S2S7. so

recorded. There has been a brisk de-
mand for this stock for several days OH
the New York Stock Exchange. 1t
jumped eight points on Thursday, selling
up to $3.50 share. With the advance
recorded today it has gained thir-
teen and one-half points i'll two days.

100 per cent. in dividends during the
present fiscal year. Of this amount %
per cent. has already been paid, and the

advertising is purely matter of busi-

medium of exchange which they find
productive of the best results, and hence
the most valuable This is one of the
fundamental laws of publicity. 1t does
not follow that there is no longer any ad-
vertising done on sentimental Or other
grounds; but it does follow that adver-
tising turns to the resu1tfu1 mediums as
instinctively as the needle turns to the
