SENTENCED FOR CHILD MURDER
At Upper Marlboro, Nd, yesterday
Judge Merrick sentenced Della Boone
to death for the murder of her child,
aged nine months. The murder took
place about July 8 in deserted woods
near Forestville. where the mother and
her child and a woman named Mary
Cook had gone to collect blackberries.
During the morning the child vexed the
mother by her cries and sobs, and the
women concluded to make way with
the baby.
1t was in evidence that as the mother
held the child, the Cook woman choked
it to death. Within a week the re.
mains were discovered by some hunters,
and it was with difficulty that the body
could be identified as that OF child,
so badly was the body mutilated by
buzzards. The mother wes arrested
and acknowledged her guilt, but the
State could find no evidence to prose-
cute the Cook woman, except on the
confession of the mother, and plea of
not guilty was entered. The accused
is colored, about IS years old, and has
been the mother of several children.
Her present condition is precarlous. II
is believed that executive clemency will
be asked in her behalf.

FRIDAY EVENING. OCT. % 1899

UNDER existing laws, the present im-
perialistic army of one hundred thou
sand men cannot be maintained tor
more than year longer, but MIR. Root,
Secretary Alger's successor, Will STAND
no such bidding as that, and Will, It IL
generally understood, recommend IN MS
report to the coming Congress, that pro-
vision be made for a permanent regu-
lar army of that size. The only thing
about this that is surprising, Is that q
secretary of Mr.. Roots associations and
feelings will not recommend a regular
army of FIVE hundred thousand; and
really, if the policy of expansion and
imperialism be continued, an army OF
that size would be necessary in order to
keep in subsection the strikers at home
and the "rebels" in Samoa, Hawaii, Gu.
ba, Porto Rico and the twelve hundred
Philippine Islands, to say nothing
about assisting Great Britain, should
foreign nations interfere with her at
tempted determination of the Trans
vaal Republic.

The interstate commerce commission

OF the business rnen of Danville, Va,
that that city is wrongly Disseminated
against in favor of other trade centres.
This is continuation of the complaints
made by Charleston, Wilmington and
other places in the South. Holmes
Conrad of Virginia, formerly solicitor
general of the Department of Justice,
made the argument in behalf of Dan
vile. He was quite severe in his allu-
sions to the Southern Railway com.
pany, which he declared was running
Danville, on account of the monopoly
that line enjoyed in that section OF
the State. He ridiculed the plea
of the officers of the road that
they could not give better rates
TO Norfolk and other seaports be-
cause of the fierce competition with the
Chesapeake and Ohio and the Norfolk
and Western lines. 1t was brought out
in the questioning that on account of
the coal interests, which are profitable,
the gross earnings per mile of the G. s.
O., amounted approximately to 50 600
per mile;the Norfolk and Western 81 900

THE EPISCOPALIANS.

At yesterdays session OF the Mis-
onary Council of the Protestant Epis-
ccpal Church, at St. Louis. Bishop Tut
tie, of Missouri, introduced resolution
asking for the expulsion from the ma.
tional House OF Representatives of
Brigham II. Roberts. of Utah.
Bishop Whipple ruled the resolutions
out of order, saying that the council
had met for a specific purpose, and
could not consider outside matters.
In course of an argument on reso-
luton to make a rule requiring stated
contributions to the missionary fund,
which was defeated, Rev. w. Nc.
knight, of Elmira, N. Y, commented
90 the advantage that the Euglish
church has over the American church,
because of its connection with the gov.
ernment, and intimated that he would
like to see the union OF the church aud
state in this country. II think our flag
would look better if it also had cross
90 it," he said.
The report of the women's auxiliary
showed collections of $40 1873 for the
year. Bishop Gaylor, Of Tennessee,
read the report on the missionary work
done among the colored people.
Bishop ]. E. Chesire, OF North Caro-
lima, in discussing the report, said the
colored people were growing worse, in
stead of better. 1t was not expected,
be said, that people set free because OF
a supp osed political necessity should
not retrograde under thu weight of re.
sponsibility they were not prepared to
assume.
The resolution on the report declar.
ing the appropriation of S62, 900 INSULT
cient, and recommending the appoint
ment of field secretary was adopted.
The report of the American Church
Missionary Society urged the propriety
of making larger appropriations for the
work of the church in Cuba, where, it
is estimated, there are $4,000 orphan
children.
Rev. DR.. E. E.till said "If this isl.
