Homicide at Garland
Clinton Caucasian.

Clinton Caucasian.
Hiram DeVane, co,ored, aged
about 60 years, was shot and killed
by Haywood Crumpler, colored, aged
about IS years, at Garland, this
county. on Tuesday Morning, May
23d. Hiram had accused Haywood
of being urduly intimate with his
girl. He left home That morning
saying that he was going to kill
him. He went to Crumpler's home
and inquired for him, but he was
not there.
In tho meantime Hiram's girl goes
to Haywood's mother and tells her
Of the old mans intention. The
mother goes to Haywood, who is at
Mr.. Edgar Herring's steam mill, and
tells him the old man DeNane is
after him with his shot gun. Then
Haywood arms himself with a pistol.
By this time the old man has learned
the whereabouts of the boy and
comes up to the mill with his gun.
he says to the boy that he wishes to
see him, and they walk to the rail
road, about forty yards away. The
mill was running at the time, so the
employees could not hear what was
said, but some one saw the old man
point his gun at the boy, who thrusts
it aside. Then again the old man
raises his gun as If to shoot, when
the boy draws from his pocket pis-
tol and shoots. He shot four times,
Two shots took effect. One in the
forehead. which glanced without
penetrating the skull and ntl citing
a mortal wound. The second shot
went through the temple and
through the brain to the skull on the
other side of the head. The old man
then turned around and ran about
twenty five yards. where he fell dead
Coroner r. b. Wilson and jury of
six, on Wednesday, held an inquest
and found that the deceased came to
his death by a pistol shot from the
the hands of Haywood Crumpler,
The jury found that the homicide
was justifiable. 1t seems to be the
prevailing sentiment throughout the
community that the boy was power
less to prevent tragedy and that he
acted in self-defense.

Good Lecture.

Rev. b. H. Hart, OF Jersey Shore, de-
livcred lecture in the NJ. f. church
Friday evening on 'The Good Samari-
tan" to good sized audience. Rev.
Hart is pleasant talker and he held
the undivided attention of his hearers
from his appearance in the pulpit to
the close Of his discourse. His remarks
on the descendants Of the characters
represented in the parable Of the good
Samaritan, whom he showed to be in
existence at the present time, were very
pointed. Taken as a whole the lecture
was intensely interesting and was OF the
kind that inspires men to better and
nobler deeds. Rev. Hart is promi-
nent Methodist Episcopal minister Of
the Central Pennsylvania Conference, as
well as popular lecturer, and the Or
der of Odd Fellows, under whose au-
spices he appeared at this place, take
great pride in his success, he with five
brothers aud sisters, at an early age,
upon the death Of their father, having
been taken care OF and educated by the
above order.

Strike in the Toby Valley.

AS stated in THE STAR last week,
there is strike among the miners In
Toby Valley. The men at Clarion
mines and several other places have
not joined the strikers yet and an effort
is being made to get them out. 1t is
probable that they will succeed before
the end OF the week. Sheriff Burns
and about twenty deputies are on hand
to protect the companies property and
to keep the strikers from interfering
with the men who are continuing to
work. The sheriff and his deputies are
having an easy time OF it, as the strik-
ers are very peaceable and show no
signs OF wanting to do any damage.

KEEPING UP WITH PROCESSION
Street Cars-Eiectric Lights-Giass Plant

Street Cars-Electric Lights-Glsss Plant
Board of Trade to be Resuscitated.
II Is a settled fact that Reynoldsville
will have an electric street car line next
year and that our town will be illumi-
mated with electric lights about the
time the year 1900 makes It's appearance,
and there is scheme being worked
now which is pretty sure to land glass
plant at Reynoldsvillc within one year,
and perhaps brick plant also.
f. A. Ferrin, the gentleman who has
completed arrangements for the pro-
posed electric railway, appeared before
council Wednesday evening of last week
and made application for the right OF
way for an electric light plant in this
borough. 1t was granted and our bor-
ough dads" wisely decided TO take
number of arc lights to illuminate our
town. This was the proper step for
council to take. True, there may be
some opposition. but the town cannot
afford to be In darkness. II we would
be live town we must keep up-to-date.
These things may increase the taxes a
little, but property In town that keeps
up with the times is worth more money
and will sell To better advantage than
1t will In town that will not attract
the people.
The town council OF West Reynolds
vile also granted Mr. Ferrin right of
way for electric lights in that borough.
There is no doubt but that the coun-
Gil will take several arc lights for their
borough, Notwithstanding the fact that
at a citizens meeting Monday evening
the majority Of those present we're not
In favor of lighting the streets Of that
borough with electricity. After the
lights have been in one year, the people
would object very much to having them
taken out.
Mr.. Ferrin has completed all arrange
ments for the electric light plant and
has gone to Philadelphia to see about
buying the machinery, &c. He expects
the light plant to be In operation In
less than 60 days. The location for the
| power house has not been decided on
yet, but 1t Is likely to be either on the
vacant lot on Jackson street. between
Fourth and Fifth, or on lot near Fifth
and Hill street.
A meeting will be held tomorrow
evening to re-organize the board Of
trade in Reynoldsville. A live board Of
| trade is blessing to any town.

New B., r. q p. Schedule.

The new schedule introduced by the
b., r. & p. R'y Sunday reduces the
number OF passenger trains in and out
this place. and does not give our people
the accommodation they formerly had
for travelling north over the b., II. &
p. The train for Pittsburg leaves here
now at 100 a. m. The train arriving
here at 1850 a. m. and the Que leaving
at 12.45 p. m. have been taken off. A
train arrives here at l. 20 p. m. and leaves
at 4.40 p. m, and the Pittsburg train
arrives at 9.4S p. m. The 120 D. m.
train leaves Falls Creek after the flyer
from Pittsburg arrives there. Under
this new schedule the b., II. & p. train
at noon is scheduled to leave Falls
Creek at 1887, about twenty minutes
before the A. V. R'y noon train arrives
at Falls Creek, thus making it impossi-
BILE for our people to travel north on
the noon train over the b., II. & p. II
people want to travel to Pittsburg on
the b., II. & p. vestibuled train that
leaves Falls Creek at 2.3l p. m, they
will have to go to Falls Creek on the
A. V. R'y noon train, LOO p. m, arriv-
ing at Pittsburg al $50 p. m. This
train will hardly catch many Reynolds
vile people, for they can remain at
home half hour longer and arrive at
Pittsburg an hour earlier by leaving
here on the A. V. R'y train at 1.3S p. IN.

BRAIN WEIGHED 81 OUNCES.

And There Was an Excess Of White Over
Gray Matter.
Dr. O'Hanlon, coroner's physician,
recently performed an autopsy on the
body of John Chester, IS years of age,
S07 Washington street, who was taken
to the Manhattan hospital with a
broken back, and who died the next
day, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. Chester was found uncon-
scious leaning against fence at One
Hundred and Third street and Amster-
dam avenue. A policeman learned that
Chester had passed the greater part
of Sunday night in saloon discussing
mesmerism, and that he was expert
mented upon. He fell to the floor of
the saloon in the trance and was taken
out by the men and placed against the
fence where he was found. The autop-
sy revealed that the mans brain
weighed only thirty-seven ounces. The
average weight of the brain, DR.. Han
Ion said. in males, was forty-nine and
half ounces, and in females forty
four ounces. The maximum was sixty
five ounces and the minimum thirty
four ounces. In addition to the excess
lively light weight of the brain, there
was an excess of white over gray mat
ter in it. This, DR.. O'Hanlon said, in
Dictated a lack of intelligence and leth-
argic mentality, but also was indi-
cative of strong physical Characters
tics. 1t was an indication OF the pre-
ponderance of the animal qualities
over the mental Such a man, DR..
O'Hanlon said, could be mesmerized
easily. Chester's death, the doctor de-
clared, was due to fracture of the
spine between the sixth and seventh
cervical vertebrae.
