Settled.

The civil libel suit of Alexander
Smith against the Frostburg hdrHm
Publishing Company for 81, 900 dam
ages has been settled per agreement
of attorneys filed. Doub and Rich
mond for plaintiff Pearre and Lewis
for defendants. The Cumberland
Ne,cs states further that "the agree
ment signed by the attorneys is as
follows :"
The payment of $50 by the defendants to
plaintiff to pay attorney fees, and the court
costs to be paid by defendant.
And the defendant agrees to state in its
next issue of the Fortm in prominent place
that The management of the Forum Pub
fishing company did not inspire the article
in reference to Alex. Smith published in the
Fornm of the 4th day of June, 1898, and
headed "A Journalistic Jesse James y that
they did not see it before it was printed, and
if they had seen 1t would not have permitted
its publication and they regret its unjustified
publication.
The settlement of the case out of
court was sought by the Forum com
pany, who fortunately found in Mr..
Smith less vindictiye defender of
his rights than perhaps he ought to
have been.
Iii unaffectedly congratulating the
Fdram company upon this compare
lively happy outcome, the JOURNAL,
voicing an extended feeling in this
community, feels bound to say that it
has been and will remain a great sur
prise that the gentlemen concerned
ever allowed themselves to become an
swerable for the Forum a moment after
the first manifestation of its linguistic
intemperance.

The appended paragraph, clipped
from som lecture paper, reached town
this week:
Lee Fairchild arrived in Attleboro to lee
ture in Star Course, suffering from severe
attack Of grippe" His lecture was there
fore lacking in that yigor and eoquence that
we had expected. Mr.. Fairchild was really
too i'll to attempt to speak, His engagem ent
in the Charity Course for the following night
had to be Cancelled and he took an early
train for New York Dean Alfred A. Wright
was summoned by telegraph to take Mr..
Fairchild's place at Charity, which he did to
the entire satisfaction Of management and

fun, and delivered forcbly and eloquently.

A Startling Ira gedy.

In the absence of an officer Wed
uesday evening about I! o'clock JUS
tice d. J. Williams commissioned
Alex. Smith to go to the house of
Hannah Preston, on south Water
street, and arrest William l.. Preston.
Reaching there, Smith found Preston
terrorizlng his wife, MUllie Preston,
and several children. The arrest was
made with little trouble, Preston re-
turning with him to the Justices office.
Smith left him with the justice to com
plete some work of his own, when he
was told that Preston had escaped.
Going again to the Preston house,
Smith found that Preston had shot
aud killed his wife and mortally
wounded himself. Two shots from a
32-calibre revolver were found in the
back of Mrs. PrestOn's head, and one
slightly in the rear of and above the
right temple of his own head, result
ing in death at 1920 next morning.
The couple had been married about
three months, but had not lived happi
ly, evidently owing to PrestOn's bad
behavior. Sufficient insight into the
causes can be found in the postscript
of the latest Of several letters written
to his wife, dated Jan. 9, as follows
O, Molly, forgive you, for | know that
soon you'll die. | will meet you in heaven
that is high, for our deaths is gazing in each
others eyes, etc
A portion of the Lords Prayer is
recited, closing with an appeal for
forgiveness
for Thou knowest all that was done and
nearest all that was said, and that lying
tongues has caused my fate and drove me to
my grave.
Before marriage Mrs. Preston was
Mary Langley. known, however, as
"Mollie Raley." an adopted daughter
of the late George Raley. She was
about % years old and quite good
looking woman. A babe two years
old becomes orphaned by the tragedy.
Preston came here from Barton some
time ago and dug coal in New York
mine He was about % years old.
This is said to have been his second
matrimonial venture and that his rec
ord as a husband is not good.
a jury of inquest was at once en-
paneled by justice ID. j. Williams
which, after viewing the body of
Mrs. Preston, adjourned until Thurs
day evening, when verdict of death
at the hands other husband was given.
Meanwhile, Preston had died and
the jury appended this note:
1t is the sense of the jury from the evidence
given in this case, that William L. Preston
came to his death from pstol-shot wound,
set-intliCted.
The two were buried in the same
grave yesterday in the old cemetery on
the hill

IN A TooTHLEss AGE.
Declaration by a New York Dentist
That the Race Ia Fast Losing
Its Grinders.

We are in the heyday of the toothless
age, according TO DIR. Victor G. Bell,
whose lecture under the auspices of the
board of education of New York on
1.-The Care of the Teeth and the Mouth"
has pointed out warning to those who,
fearing the dentist, are at last obliged
to go on the rack, the avoidance of
which was the cause of all their agony.
''To begin with" said DR.. Bell, II
must make the bold statement that we
are becoming q toothless people. For
otherwise how can we account for the
fact that thousands of people to-day are
wearing artificial teeth? And there are
so many thousands who would wear
them II they could afford such lux
ury.'
Look at our little children at the age
of two," continued the doctor, warming
up to the subject. "Their Httle teeth
are already decayed. Our girls at the
ages Of IA and 10 have beautiful teeth
indeed. But do not be deceived. In
many cases they are artificial"
According 10 the doctor. it is the
micrObe that wrecks first mans teeth,
his temper with them, and then his
general health.

Because they thought their music
teacher had ridden ON nonunion troll

grammar school at Wheeling, w. Va,
refused to Fehearse their music lesson
the other afternoon. Miss Lucy Rob

school for Its usual exercise IN music,
but the boys rebelled and refused to
sing. Some of them sang: "Baa, baa,
black sheep, have you any wool?" to the
notes of the music selected. After the
excitement subsided some of the boys
who were most obstinate were sent to
the principal. Corporal punishment
failed to convince some of them of the
error into which they had fallen and
their cases were referred to the city
superintendent. Miss Robinson denied

vantage of the nonunion cars. The in

Another great consideration
