Inquest over Carlson.

An inquest over the body of Carlson
of East Greenwich, whose body was
found in the water off Buttonwoods.
was held yesterday afternoon In the
town hall at Apponaug. Several wit
nesses were present and were examined
by Coroner Job Carpenter they being:
George A. Gleason. Daniel A. Clarke,
proprietor of the Old Buttonwoods Ho-
tel. John ALLEN Of Centreville. DIR. II. O..
Eastman. who was present at the au-
topsy held at East Greenwich. and the
Swede. Custafson. with whom Carlson
had boarded previous TO his murder.
The medical examiner was not present
and nothing OF Importance was done.
The ease IL as much a mystery now
as nj the time when the body was
found I'm the water. The police do not
know whether the deed was done I'm
East Greenwich or In Warwick. but the
body was evidently throws into the
water from the Warwick side since IL
could not have been In the water but
a short time when found. The very
slight clues which the police have had
10 work upon have all come TO naught
aud since he had but very few
friends and no one can be found
who can or is willing To account for
his movements after leaving his board
ing place. N II more than probable that
the circumstances ~ the case viii never
be ferreted out unless II comes 60 light

Agel Mr.. Gardiner Run
Over by Work Train.
TALKED WITH FLAGMAN.
A Few Minutes Later His Dismem.

NO WITNESSES TO THE ACCIDENT

George w. Gardiner, 20 years old. OF
Lafayette. was run over by a work
train or the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad at WEXFORD
junction yesterday afternoon and in
stantly killed. Mr.. Gardner had been
talking TO the nagman at Browns
crossing, which Is just above the Wick

was called away for few minutes.
When he returned Mr.. Gardiner was
gone. but on looking up the track he
saw the headless trunk of Mr.. Gardi-
ner's body lying in pool of blood.
Only few feet away was the severed
head, while one foot, which had been
cut off, was near the body. The lag
man at once notified Medical Examiner
MetcGlf, who after viewing the remains
gave permission for their removal, ana
they were taken to Mr. Gardeners late
home in Lafayette. Just how the accf-
dent occurred is not known, but that he
was struck by the working train Is be-
yond all question.

violators will not pay the cost Of
prosecution" Every one knows
that our country spends annually
in bringing criminals to justice
millions in excess of the fines. But
is that just reason why the law
should not be enforced, why our
country should be given over to
criminals and anarchists, thus
leaving our lives and property at
the mercy of the mercylessH Yet
that is just where the conformity
of "Uno's" ararchial theory would
lead US.
We find that the old Jewish law
did not prohibit a man from lead
ing his ass to water on Sunday,
and under this modification
"Uno's" master need not allow
him to either hunger or thirst.

Remember the Sabbath day to
keep it holy was not penned by
"Uno." His pleasure would be
like unto this: the Sabbath is a

HORSE JOCKEYING.

We do not weary in well-doine
for we know the time will come
when right will prevail. Is it tc
the interest of the people of oul
city and county to permit the rae
ing Of horses on our streets2 Com
plants have reached us not alone
from our citizens, who are almost
afraid to be on our thoroughfares
for fear Of being run over, but
from men and women Of the coun.
ty, who through fear of bodily in
jnres from the same source re-
main at home when they have
business in the city on this day.
One Of our cattle buyers ex-
pressed himself this way: eff /
am to have anxiety in regard to
getting my cattle home after pur-
chasing, l will stay away from
this market. Horses are galloped
over the streets regardless of the
business of others, stock get scat
tered, and often one or two are
lost from a drove. l don't see
why you people Of Mt. Sterling
don't stop it, for you will either
have to give up this unsightly,
disgraceful business or your stock
sales. Buyers will not stand it"
This is the language as near as we
can give it, and we feel that the
horse jockey business must be
abandoned. The city has a prohi-
oitory law on this subject but we
ire informed that the City Judge
las declared it unconstitutional. |
f the Judge is correct will he not
suggest how to frame law that
would be constitutional. The
lorse jockeys must 60.

for the rottenness of the platform
upon which he stands, and the

era-can the people, in view Of
the past record of the Republican

We think not, and their votes for
the Democratic party and the cleo

so demonstrate. At this time, the
money kings, through the party

knowledged that few rich men
control every branch of trade, and
that too to their own personal

victions on this subject. Only a
sober, honest, industrious man is
worthy to represent Democracy,
or can properly accomplish the
passage of valuable measures in
the Nations Congress; and what
is applicable to one candidate is
applicable to the other. We are
not here to say that Mr.. Seitz is
simply green-horn unacquainted
with public life, without a reputa-
ton and hence the people should
not elect him to so high a position.

October the I'd was the Chris
tan Sabbath in this city. The
City Council had said thou shall
do no work on the Lords Day,
and the people of Mt. Sterling
took a rest. Undoubtedly more
consciences were at ease Monday
than heretofore. 1t is said a few
are kicking on account Of the en-
forcement of this good law, but we
suppose not. for men are supposed
to act according to what is right.
The Bible speaks a divine utter
ance when it gives one day in
seven for rest, and only infdels
deny the justice of God. By
resting on Sunday more can be
accomplished on Monday. Now
that the observance Of the Sunday
law has been ordered the officers
should enforce it all the time, not
a few days, and then allow it to
return like hog TO its wallow.

At close Of our Civil War in 1865,
there appeared in the London Times
the following:
If that mischievous financial poi
icy which had its origin in the North
American Republic during the late
Civil War in that country, should be-
come indurated down to a fixture,
then that government will furnish its
money without cost. 1t will have all
the money that is necessary to carry
on its trade and commerce. 1t will
become prosperous beyond precedent
In the history of civilized nations of
the world. The brain and wealth of
all countries will go to North America.

DESTROYED OR 1T WILL DE-
STROY EVERY MONARCHY ON

business shall be done on the Sab
bath day, except the ordinary house
hold offices or other work of necessity
or charity, or work required in the
maiDtainance or operation of a ferry,
skiff or steamboat, or steam or street
railroads. II any person on the
Sabbath day shall himself be found
at his own or any cther trade or call
ing, or shall employ his apprentices,
or other persons in labor or other bust
ness, whether the same be for profit
or amusement unless such as is per-
United above, he shall be fined not less
than two nor more than fifty dollars
for each offence. Every person or
apprentice so employed shall be
deemed seperate offence"
This is the law. 1t is as much
inforce to day as any other law
on the statute books and as law
abiding citizens it is our duty to
regard it. Ifgood citizens we will
be obebient to the law and if not
then good officers will teach us the

The Kentucky Bankers Asso-
citation met in Louisville last week.
The object of these meetings Is to
make banking more profitable. In
order to accomplish this they must
have more profits, and In order to
make more profits the patrons of
the banks must pay for 1t in the
way Of greater interest rates or
the submitting to deeper dis
counts, 1t will not always be so.
The fellows who head this profess
sion are denominated the aristoc-
racy, the ups in society, the mod
els. A good idea it is that they
thus arrogate to themselves, for
indeed the poor fellows need it.
So much of it has been going on
in this modern age that the public
look on the shavers with distrust;
they wonder if they will follow
their brethren in shortages and abb
scondings. There is reason why
so many banking men fall short,
and we believe it is due to the de-
veloping of the proneness, the
weakness Of men by banking ma
nipulations. For instance, it is
not lawful to charge more than a
stipulated interest; yet how many
evade or openly violate this law, |
which is as binding as any other
law. Its violation is so common
that it is boldly disregarded, and
those engaged in it have persuaded
themselves that they are doing no
wrong. Just the same as the man
who steals until he has persuaded
that there is no wrong in
taking additional toll. The same
practice applies to the Sabbath
breaker, etc.
If bankers cannot make their
business remunerative under ex-
isting laws. they should not be-
come violators of the law and en-
oloy young men to so engage, but
hey should discontinue the BUSH
ness. Too many capitalists de-
bend on having their money used
his way. The whole world needs
% be developed; the woods have
Utmost inestimable wealth; the
:arth groans with her riches, and
he laborers beg for work. For
unes are made by using timber
nd marketing the hidden re-
ources; the country is improved
'ecuniarily, morally, every way;
ne poor from their own labor have
lenty and to spare, and there is
lore content in every grade of
ne worlds make up. C
