Special to the Register.
FAIRMONT, w. Va, October So
From the present indication it begins
to look that lack Taylor, instead Of
being killed by a train Thursday even
ing or Friday morning early, a short
distance above this city, as was thought
at the time, and a verdict rendered to
that effect. will turn out differently,
possibly. 1t is thought by his rela-
tives that the man was murdered. His
body was found along the B. & 0.
railroad lying on his left side with his
right arm across the track with part
of it cut off by a passing train. His
friends think he was first murdered
and then placed on the track; that the
first train passing would render the
body beyond recognition. His throat
was cut some, but the head was badly
mangled behind, appearing as if he had
been beaten to death.
Jefferson Taylor of Morgantown, a
brothes-ss the deceased, showed a Reg
lister representative a. penknife, posi-
bly, six inches long, opened and the
blade blood-stained. that was found
covered over with leaves about eight
feet from where his brother was found
dead, and where there had been a scuf-
file. A bunch of hair was also found
at this spot that resembled that of his
Arother, and other articles to show that
hn brother had met with foul play
He suspects two of his brothers enc
mics as being the murderers.

SOMETHING ABOUT PIES.

SOMETHING ABOUT PIES.
A great deal has been written about
New England pie eaters" the pie
belt" etc., and an attempt made 10
laugh pie from the family table. To q
degree to the attempt has been sue
cessful and pie has ceased to adorn
menus in elaborate spreads and is an
unknown quantity in many house
holds.
While not worshipper of pie be-
lieve the pendulum has swung too far
and that it does not now receive the
credit it deserves. In what way can
you serve pumpkin or the late squash
to better advantage than did the good
old New England mother when pump
kin and squash pies were considered
a delicaey? What better desert than
lemon pie do you have on your table?
Let us give the pie a chance once in a
while and not feel our education Is
complete until we can make one that
is worthy of the name. Below are q
few recipes that will be found models
of their kind.
PUMPKIN PIE.
Cut the pumpkin into quarters. re-
move the seeds, pare and cut into inch
pieces. Cook in a very little water
| slowly for five or six hours and then
rub through coIander Or if you
prefer you may cut the pumpkin with
| out pairing, bake 1t skin side down I'M
til tender and then scoop out the pulp
and sift it. For one pie allow one and
one-half cups of pumpkin, one cup q
boiling milk, one teaspoonful of butter
half a cup of sugar, half teaspoonfu
Of salt and one tablespoonful Of CHINA
mon, nutmeg, ginger or mace. Ado
one egg beaten separately. Half bake
the crust, fill with the pumpkin ant
bake until it puffs up.
SQUASH PIE.
Select dry mealy squashes and cool
as you would pumpkin only a mucf
less time before sitting. In other way:
| treat as above.
LEMON PIE.
Mix a heaping tablespoonful of corr
starch with one cup of sugar add one
cup of boiling water and cook 10 min,
utes, stirring constantly. To this ado
one tablespoonful of butter, the grated
rind of half and the juice of one lemon;
place the pan back on the stove anG
] stir in quickly one we'll beaten egg ant
! turn the whole into a crust that has
| just been baked. Beat the whites 81
| three eggs, add three tablespoonfuls q
| powdered sugar and beat until stiff
Butter plate the size of your pie, pile
on the meringue and color it a delicate
brown, then slip off on to the pie.
The above recipes are for pies hav.
| ing only one crust. Remember In
making them that while under crusts
| should be tender and rich they do not
need to be fiaky or puffy as upper
crusts and therefore do not require a:
much shortening or rolling as the lat
] ter.
Poor pies deserve all the anathema:
and ridicule that they have received
but good pies are still worthy of {
place on your table.
