This Morning.

lutions, handsomely engraved and mount
ed. President J. C. Clarke, In making the
presentation, said
sMr. Love, you and have been asso-

always proved yourself faithful servant
of the people, and in my associations with
you 1 have always found you a true and
loyal friend and that you could always
be depended upon, and any clerk that
ever serv~~- under you has the same good
word. The clerks of this office, as well
as my colleague and myself, having come
In daily contact with you for the past
six years, deeply regretted the parting
to political changes. The duty that am
called upon today to perform IS a pleas
ant one. one that I wish that were bet
ter able to do justice to. The clerks, my
colleague as well as myself, wish to show
our appreciation of the many acts of
kindness you were always willing to
grant, have had engrossed the set of
resolutions passed by this Board, and in
presenting them we wish you to accept
them in the same spirit they are pre-
sented Bear in mind the clerks, my col
league and myself wish you success and
happiness during the rest of your life,
and whenever you look upon this testi-
moniaI and read the names attached
thereto you can say and truthfully say,
my friends.
A suitable reply was made by Mr.. Love
and the incident closed.

OYSTER TRAIN WRECKED.
Engineer Stuck to His Post and
Saved Passengers--Fire-
man Killed.

CUMBERLAND Nd, Nov. g. 1S99.-The
second section of Baltimore and Ohio Ias-
senger train No. O. westbound, known as
the oyster train, crashed into the first
section in South Cumberland early this
morning and was badly wrecked. Engi-
neer L. r. Kindle of Baltimore, stuck TO
his post on the second section, checking
its speed and preventing the telescoping of
the passenger section. He was seriously
injured and may die. His fireman, Lewis
Massey of Baltimore, was terribly scald-
ed and died in the hospital here No one
else was dangerously hurt. The rear
sleeper of the passenger section was
wrecked and burned.
The accident occurred shortly after one
O'Clock in the morning and 1t is thought
it was caused by the failure of the flag
man on the passenger station to go far
enough back when the train stopped at a
switch. The passengers in the Pullman
car Rival, which was on the rear end of
the train, were badly Shaken up and
frightened.
Among them were John Robinson of
New York, Mrs. E. w. Uphouse Of Rock
wood, Pa, and the Rev. A. Hodgetts of
Grand Island, Nebraska, all of whom
were slightly cut by flying splinters and
broken glass. Some Of them also lost
their effects which could not be removed
from the burning sleeper. They were all
brought to this city and after receiving
medical attention were able to proceed
on their journey. Conductor Green and
gether with Mail Clerk Reagan were also
slightly injured.

STATE PRISON RECRUITS.
Badly Interrupted Term Renewed
UntimeIv Mission Work.

Joseph Pierson and Thomas Rainey were
taken to Trenton yesterday by Deputy
Sheriff Frank Hague, Pierson to serve a
term of two years in State Prison for
stealing horse in Hoboken, and Rainey
to serve an interrupted term of three
years for grand larceny. On July II, 1898,
Rainey was tried in the General Sessions
Court and convicted. Judge Blair sem
fenced him to three years in State Prison.
He had been there less than a month when
Congressman DAILY had him brought back
on a writ of habeas corpus and took the
case up on a writ of error. Mr.. DAILY con-
tended that as Rainey had been tried
without having the benefit of counsel his
conviction was illegal. Rainey was adj
mitted to bail pending the decision Of the
upper court.
In order to keep himself in practice. in
the meantime, Rainey went burgling
and was caught at it. He was tried on
January 26, this year, convicted and sem
fenced to nine months at the County
Farm. Just before his term expired the
upper court gave decision in the other
case Chief Justice Magic, who wrote the
opinion, held that when a defendant
Eeglects or refuses to ask to have counsel
assigned he valves his rights in the mat
ter. Rainey has served his term In the
Penitentiary and has now entered upon
the term in State Prison. If he had been
allowed to remain in the latter institution
he would not have had the opportunity TO
commit the burglary.
Frank Carr, the negro thief who stole
SaIoonkeeper LOmbardi's money and
watch, and Louis Jacobs. the youthful
pickpocket, were also taken to State
Prison yesterday afternoon to serve two
years While in the train in the custody
of Deputy Sheriff Hague minister
noticed that they were handcuffed and
surmised their destination. He sat down
in the seat in front of them and talked
about the way of the transgressor being
hard. He urged them to repent and lead
honest lives when they came out into the
world again. Jacobs had nothing to say,
but Carr told the minister that he didn't
want to listen to any preaching.
What use has a man got for religion"
he asked, who Is going to State Prison
for two years?''
The minister apparently concluded that
the negro was incorrigible and did not
pursue his missionary efforts.

No Clue as Yet to the Green
Vile Dog Poisoner.


The Greenville dog poisoner is still
pursuing his dastardly vocation. Two
more dogs. owned by Gorsuch Brothers.
who reside on the New York Bay shore
at the fooot Of Linden avenue, were
poisoned Tuesday night. Strychnine was
used in both cases.
The numerous poisonings of late have
reused the indignation of Greenville dog
owners, all pet dogs win be carefully
guarded in the future. In nearly every
instance the animals poisoned have been
valuable. The common yellow dog may
roam at will and never be harmed.
The police have been Investigating the
numerous poisonings of late, but have
failed to discover any trace of the poi
soning or poisoners.
President George Mccarthy, of the S.
P c. A., said last night, that the man
who poisons dogs is hard to catch.
The whole dog owning population OF
Greenyille is UP in arms. The poisoner
will suffer when he is caught.

this morning by Recorder Stanton.

court this morning he would neither deny
nor admit guilt. He had been hired by

The KAMEROON SCANDAL
Facts of the Case are Far
Worse Than the Story.


BERLIN, NOV. 23 Investigate
shows that the facts in the Kameroon
scandal, made public by the 4'Tageblatt,
November IS, when that paper said an APP
parently corrupt deal had taken place, by
which the Chief of the Colonial Depart
ment gave away 50. 900 square kiIorneters
of Kameroon soil, estimated to be worth
about 100000 marks, to various high
personages. far exceed the Tageblatt's'
story. The promoters, it appears, first
formed company and soon sold out to a
new company formed at Brussels and
made up of Belgfans, EngMshmen and
several Americans, for 1S,5O0,00o francs
The concession, it further appears. really
cost them nothing. The first company was
named in the concession, Gudekamerun.
Prince HohenlohelO Oehnngen was one OF
the original concessioners. For this
reason, the Emperor forced his resigna-
ton as Chief Court Chamberlain.
The facts in the most recent grant OF
concession are even worse. 40 a COM
pany called the Nordwest-Kamerun, ter
ritory was conceded large than Bavaria.
1t lies in the Hinterland of the kamer-
oons, is extremely, fertile, and includes
valuable forests worth a thousand times
the obligations the company assumes to-
wards the empire The entire financial
obligation is only a 100000 marks c0ntrf-
button to the proposed Tchad Lake expe-
dition while there are other undertakings
! to spend 100000 marks within ten years
in Improvement of the tract, to construct
roads, steamer lines, plantations and 6ac-
| tories all redounding to the benefit Of the
| company.
| The concession was granted for fifty
years, which is to be extended for sixty
| years more if the company, within twelve
/ years, constructs railroad coastwards.
| At the expiration Of the second term the
| immense tract becomes the company $
property absolutely. The company also
| agrees to pay the Government small
Share of its net profits. There is no pro-
vision that the company or a majority OF
| its shareholders must be Germans.
! The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns from the Colonial Office. in
| explanation of the above, that the present
! chief DIR. Won Buchka, adopted ths
British policy of getting big, moneyed
| syndicates to take hold of the colonies,
| on the prospect of large profits. 1t is un-
| derstood that the whole affair will be
thoroughly ventilated in the Reiehstag
| and that DIR. Won Buchka's days as an
| official are probably numbered.
