TO thirty years auu seven months I'm
prIsoumenJ in The state penitentiury
lhe sentence of thirty years aLo
| seven months was upon Two indict-
ments tor the o. r. q n. holdup. On
one for roobing the engineer and fire
man. the sentence was eighteen years
and four months. On the second for
holding up the train, it was twelve
years and three months, the object OF
the court being to give the robbers
about twenty years actual SER
vice in ihe penitentiary. This calcu-
lation is based upon the probability of
the men remaining in twenty years
and getting ten years credit marks.
District Attorney Lord, in the open
ing asked the court to impose the ex-
treme penalty provided by law. lie
said these men, in the carrying out OF
their plot, would not have hesitated TO
take life. All circumstances pointed
to that fact. They had been given a
hearing. One had admitted his guilt,
and the second had been convicted up
on fair trial.
When asked if he had anything to
say, jackson arose and deliberately
resting his hand ON the table, said to
the judge that it was a hopeless case
for him. The defendant piteously
pleaded that the fact that he had
pleaded guilty would he taken int
consideration. He said he was old,
and au extreme penalty meant to hin,
an old man, death.
The records of the trainrobbers are
as follows:
George Jackson, under the name OF |
Harvey Lee. charged with burglary,

not have been done If there had been

Editor Sentintl:-Allow me to return
my thanks to the SENTINEL, as citi-
zen and tax payer of Grenada, for
duty well performed, in the impartia
manner in which it has labored to lay
before its readers both sides of the
waterworks, electric lights question.
Its work has not been wasted, its labor
has not been lost. The people, the
tax payers, in short, the persons most
interested, have been melted to in
vestigation and deliberation upon this
most important subject.
Most of them, perhaps, without beirg
aware of the fact, have been guided
by the maxim Of old Davy Crockett,
''be sure you are right then go ahead
The latter clause of the, proposition is
! simple enough, but the contingency is
what worries them.
''Be sure you are right!'
This assurance Of rectitude strikes
me-under existing circumstances-al-
most impossible Of attainment. In
the first place, we have population
Of about 1850 whites. OF these, per-
haps not more than oae-fifth are pro-
ducers or wage earners. OF this frac-
tional proportion Of our population
fifty per cent pay ninety per cent of the
taxes.
Thus it is that the burden must be-
borne by few. And no matter how
heavily this load may rest upon the.
shoulders Of any one Individual, his
ballot Is neutralized by that Of the
voter who pays taxes upon his poll
and nothing Use. And it seemeth
unto this scriI that the man who has
nsthing to Be and all to gain, is
clamoring Il tdest for this increase Of
taxation. 40 not assert this as fact.
but only as < surmise.
And again. The anticipated emf
grant and capitalist, who is to be lured
among US by reason OF our local i'm
provement, will first wish to know the
rate OF taxation. About one glance
will be sufficient to drive him away.
Besides the interest On the original
forty thousand dollars, we shall be
forced to pay annually the expense Of
runhing the machines. Taken IN con-
nectiou with the existing taxes, 1t
appears to me that the burden will be
too heavy for US to bear. Therefore I
trust that may be pardoned for vot-
ing "A. GlNlT."

poration who manufactures these ma
chimes cannot be induced to locate the

morning. Late last night Sheriff

Of e. d. Brooks, an old man who was

When thug reached Hills house the
sheriff was refused admittnnce, Hill
threatening to kill him II he came into
the house. Finally his daughter agreed
to admit Marshal Thompson, who went
Ii and made search for Dan Hill, but
found that he was not in the house.
Afterward he told the elder Hill that be
had warrant for his arrest also, and
was proceeding to take it from his
pocket when Hill seizing his gun, told
him he would kill him if he did not
leave the house. Thompson, still fac
ing Hill, stepped slowly back toward the
door when Hill fired, killing his
daughter, Thompson having stepped
aside just in time to escape the charge.
ThompsAn by this time had drawn his
pistol, and seeing Hill again raising his
gun to stsot, he advanced on him and
shot him three times, killing him in.

No blame is attached to Thompson
or the other officers, and his friends re-
gret that he was forced to take part in
the unfortunate affair.

WANTED TO FIGHT
Dora Green's Father Wants to Carve
Crawford Maxim

Although Crawford Maxim could not
be convicted in the courts of having
criminally assaulted Dora Green, the
irate father of the girl is rot ready to
let the matter drop there and still thirsts
for satisfaction from Maxim. The two
met unexpectedly yesterday afternoon
in saloon at 517 North Main street, and
Green sought to bring matters to focus
then and there by challenging the man
whom he accuses of running his daugh-
ter to a duel.
To his apparent surprise Maxim was
not at all anxious to settle accounts in
that way At this Green became worke d
up to high pitch of excitement and
shouted threa ateningly:

The Married Name

The practice of woman changing her
name on marriage originated from n
Roman custom and came into use after
the Roman occupation. Thus, Julia and
Octavia, married to Pompey and Cicero,
were called by the Romans Julia of Pom
pey, Octavia of Cicero, and in later times
women in most countries signed their
names n the same way, but omitted the
"of." Many persons think that the GUS
tom originated from the Scriptural
teaching that husband and wifi are one.
This was the rule of law so far back as
Bracton, and IT was decided in the case
of Bon VS.. Smith in the reign of Eliza
beth that a woman by marriage loses
her former name ard legally receives
the name of her husband. The custom,
however, is not universal. In Spain and
Portugal married women do not take the
name of their husbands, but continue to
be known by their own. In many parts
of the United States woman never re-
linquishes her maiden name, and is
called by it as often as by that of her
husband. Even in the rural parts of
England one of ten finds a married
woman called by her maiden name, and
in country districts of Scotland it is
sometimes found that both names are
used In many parts of France and Bel
gium the husbands and wife's names
are used together when either of them is
used
