George w. Finch is the name of re-
markable murderer now in the. state
prison at Fort Scott, Kan. Finch was
under sentence of death for the killing
of young man some time ago, but
managed to escape from prison and sue
cessfully eluded pursuit. He reached
Lamont, Mo-, 100 miles away, and his
pursuers had not the least idea as to
where he was, when he called up the
state prison authorities by long-dis-
lance telephone and notified them that
he would be there on the evening train
to surrender himself and help mend
the prison bars he had broken. And
true to his word, when the evening train
arrived he stepped off and gave himself
up to the waiting officers.

There was lately discussion, speak
ing of grammatical matters, in one of
the private schools Of Washington, re-
ports the Post OF that city, between the
principal and one of the teachers over
a sentence in short story written by a
pupil. What the story is about is
neither here nor there, but the sentence
in question is: How came she to come
to Washington" That is the way the
pupil wrote it before submit ting the
story as an exercise in composition to
the teacher. The teacher changed it to
''How came her to come to Washing
ton?" maintaining that the infinitive re-
quires subject in the accusative. The
pupil rebelied and appealed to the prin-
cipal, who sustained the appeal. Both
principal and teacher are consulting
every possible authority on the sub
ject, but just at present the question
seems unlikely to be answered to every
body's satisfaction.

The Smith, Holmes Duel.
APRIL %. 1898.

APRIL %, 1898.
Mr.. EDIroR-In your issue of April
Dist 1 read of the duel that took place
between Psyton Randolph Smith and
Joseph Holmes. Permit me to state
that the duel was not the result Of a
quarrel over cards, but the sequel to
a rivalry that existed between these
two young men, infatuated with the
same lady-a young, talented and
beautiful girl. The fight did take
place opposite ShepherdstOwn. Smith
was mortaIly wounded, and my great
grandmother, his mother, who rode al
the way from Winchester, Va, through
the night on horseback, reached the
place in time to see her son fall and
have him carried to the Entler Hotel,
when he died in the room just over
the entrance. Mr.. Holmes, who sprung
from a welI-known family, was never
the same after the duel took place
living the life of recluse and hermit
and dying of broken heart. Peyton
Randolph Smith, who was the son Of
Gen. John Smith and Anna his wife,
lived with his father at "Hackwood,
the old ancestral home near Winches-
ter, Va. He had been always known
as brave and fearless, even to reckless
ness. His mother was also as famed
for her bravery as for her beauty.
Once, whom a big, powerful negro
forced entrance into her room, carry
ing a great axe, her courage never fall
tered but, pointing to the door, she
psremptoriIy ordered out the intruder.
The slave made his exit.

In the case Of Miller VS.. Wisner,
from Berkeley county, the Supreme
Court has rendered an important de-
cision. C. H. Miller was sheriff Of
Berkeley county from 1889 to 1892,
and as such had taxes for collection
for these years against Wisner, and
levied upon the property Of the latter
to satisfy such taxes. Wisner gave a
forthcoming bond, and when Miller
moved the circuit court to issue exc
cution on the bond Wisner filed set
offs for services rendered as Miller's
attorney for four years at $500 per
year, for which he claimed a contract
with Miller prior to his election, and
that such annual fee was to go as cred
it on his taxes. The circuit court al
lowed the offsets, but the Supreme
Court reversed the lower court.

THERE appears to be hitch over
the appointment Of a postmaster at

Senator Elkins and Congressman Day
ton. Upon the strength of this en-
dorsement Mr.. Getzendanner put up
a new business building, which he has
fitted up with an expensive postofhce
outfit. In the meantime a petition
protesting against his appointment
was, we understand, filed with the
Postoffice Department, and in addition
a strong movement set on foot OPP
posing the removal Of the Office from
its present location. The result is
that the appointment has been hung
up, and though Mr.. Flaggs term has
expired he is still postmaster. The
fact that several other candidates for
the Office have been projected into the
fight still further complicates the mat
ter, and Mr.. Getzendanner may or
may not win.
