Manager Gillespie viii Cable All
Telephone Lines.
Fourteen tons of telephone cable ar
rived by the Zealandia Saturday night
for the Mutual Telephone Company
The cables are constructed TO carry
from 80 TO $50 wires. Manager Giles
pie is the father of the idea of cabling
the telephone wires in Honolulu. He
sees in the scheme an early and com
plete end of induction. In fact, an au-
thority on electrical matters states that
in six months the telephones will be rs
clear of noise at night as in the day
time.
Poles for the cable system are being
planted on all the principal streets
near the Central office. The town will
be divided into telephone districts, and
the cables will take the lines as far
into them as possible. For instance,
Waikiki lines will be taken as far as
the King street turn. In town the ca
bles will be numerous and shorter.

A Horrible Crime in West Virginia.

The annals of West Virginia con-
tain no record of a crime more hor-
rible than one committed in Jackson
county, forty miles south Of Parkers-
burg, Tuesday night of last week. 1t
was triple murder, committed in or
der that the murderer might loot his
victims of $5S. In an isolated part of
Jackson county lived Mrs. Edward
Green, widow, aged seventy, her son
James, aged twenty, and two daugh-
tiers of former marriage with Francis
Post. Of this family, Mrs. Green,
her son James and one of the girls
were murdered in cold blood by John
Morgan, aged twenty-four, farm
hand, engaged on neighboring farm.
Morgan went to the Green home quite
early Wednesday morning and aroused
the family, and as Mrs. Green opened
the door he struck her fearful lick
upon the head with Ratchet, killing
her instantly. AS the rest of the
family rushed to the scene, Morgan
struck down the two younger women.
Young Green slipped out another door
and Morgan struck out for him. A
few yards from the house he overlook
Green and Drained him with mat
took. While Morgan was numbering
Green one of the girls recovered her
self sufficiently to crawl outside OF the
house, where she hid until 9 o'clock
the same morning. In leaving the
house Morgan beat up the heads Of bis
victims in a horrible manner, then
rihed the house and secured $59. Miss
Post, the girl who crawled out in the
dark and hid, gave the alarm and a
posse headed by the sheriff found Nor
gan in short time, hiding near the
Green home. His hands and clothing
were spattered with blood. He con-
fessed and was locked up in the jail.
As soon as the news of the tragedy
had spread a great crowd gathered.
1t was determined to lynch the muir
derer and the Jail was surrounded.
Judge Blizzard appeared and made an
eloquent appeal to the people not to
resort to lynch law. He promised
that if they would dispense that there
would be no legal delays that justice
should be speedy. His advice pre-
vailed and the lynching was averted.
Next day Judge Blizzard called a
special grand jury. Morgan was in
dicted and promptly put on trial,
Friday the jury found him guilty and
the Judge sentenced him to be hung
on the 18th of December. In sixty
hours from the time the murders were
committed the murderer was sentenced
and the death watch was set on him.

At Martinsburg on Monday Judge
John Jay Jackson, of the United
States Court, rendered his decision in
the Injunction cases of 81. @. Berry,
gauger, J. G. Ruckman, storskeeper,
and William Butler, assistant store
keeper, at the Hannis distillery,
against A. B. White, collector of In
ternal revenue. The decision is ia
yorable to the employees in every par
ticular and perpetuates heinjunctions
heretofore granted. The cases were
heard on the bill of the plaintiffs and
the demurrer and answer of the de-
PENDANT. The object of the bill was
to prevent the collector from remov-
ing the plaintiffs from their present
positions and the demurrer questioned
the constitutionality of the civil-ser-
vice act, the right of the employees to
the protection of the act in assign
ments and revocation of assignments
to duty and the power of the court of
equity to interfere in such cases. At
ter an elaborate discussion of the
matters involved, the judge in his de-
cision drew the following conclusions:
l. That the act known as the civil
service act is constitutional.
2. That Congress has not delegated
to the President and the commission
legislative powers.
8. That by rule 8, section L, the
internal-revenue service has been
placed under the civil-sevice act and
rules made in pursuance of it.
4. That the plaintiffs in this case
are officers of the government IN the
internal-revenue service.
5. That they cannot be removed
from their positions except for causes
other than political, in which even the
removal must be made under the
terms and provisions of the civil-ser-
vice act and rules promulgated under
it, which under act of Congress be-
came part of the law.
6. That the attempt to change the
position and rank of the officers in the
cases is in violation of the law.
7. That a court of equity has Juris-
diction to restrain the appointing pow
er from removing the officers from
their positions, as such removals are
in violation of the civil-service act.
The court also holds that the in
junction was served in time. On
these he bases his authority for max
ing the injunction perpetual. He al
so suspended the order granted to the
collector for the appointment of tenn
porary officers to conduct the affairs
of the distillery, pending the decision
of the court. The Judge granted Col
lector White the customary time IN
which to file an appeal to a higher
court. Judge Jackson paid a high
compliment to the able argument pre-,
scented by Senator Faulkner, counsel
for the plaintiffs, when the case was
tried in November.

Three men were blown to atoms by
an explosion of nitro-glycerine at Pine
Fork, in Wetzel county, last Satur-
day. William Conn, well-shOoter
was loading wagon with nitro-gly-
cerine. He must have dropped can
of it, for there was an awful explo-
sion, and when persons went to in
vestigate the only thing that could be
found was a portion of the hand Of
one of the men and a buckle from the
harness. Where the magazine was
located and the horses and wagon
stood there was hole in the ground
into which horse could be dropped
completely out of sight. Two men
who were near the scene had disap-
peared, and nothing has since been
heard of them, so they must have
been blown to pieces, too.
