Blew His Brains Out.

Last Wednesday forenoon about
10 o'clock, George H. Maitland
committed suicide at Pete Hansen's
saloon by shooting himself through
the head, with an army carbine.
The weapon belonged to P. J. Flynn
who had been cleaning it. Several
men examined the weapon, Matt
land among the number. He ap-
parently took quite an interest in its
mechanism, and after having it in
his possession several minutes he
loaded it. There were six or seven
men in the saloon at the time, but
no one seems to have paid any par
ticular attention to him. He load
ed the gun while sitting at a card
table, and while pretending to be
reading a newspaper he placed the
butt of the weapon on the floor and
lent forward until the muzz1e touch
ed his forehead, when he pulled
the trigger with his left hand, and
the weapon was discharged.
The 4s-bul1et went through his
head and through the ceiling above
him. The front half of his head
was shattered to pieces. He never
moved from his sitting position,
and as his head fell forward toward
his knees his blood and a portion
of hisbrains gushed on to the floor.
One or two men sitting near him
were spattered over with blood and
brains. In that posture the body
remained for two hours, until re-
moved to the Worstell undertaking
establishment, Meanwhile, how
ever, Coroner France was prompt
ly on the spot, but as the cause of
death was so clear an inquest was
deemed unnecessary.
Maitland has been in this ccm-
munity about year running the
Exchange saloon, which burned
out about month ago. He always

A Century'S Passing.

The most important century since
the Christian era has entered upon
the last month of it's life. It has
witnessed a worlds Transformation.
Science has unlocked more doors
and invention and mechanics have
performed more miracles than were
ever witnessed before.
Fire and water and electricity
have been summoned to supply men
with new power; by those agents
the world has been so dwarfed that
journey around it has been reduc-
ed to merely pleasure trip of a
few days; new light-an artificial
sun1ight-has been created, and so
many new comforts have been sup
piled to rnen'that the couch Of lab
or is softer now than were the beds
of royalty when the century was
born. With the rest the perfecting
press has come to speed the worlds
intelligence to all peoples.
The worlds wealth has been null
tiplied almost beyond computation
and man now talks as face to face
with his fellow man, through
mountains interpose and ocean
roll between the two.
But is the stock of men improv-
ed? That is the most important
question. Our belief is that the
giants of old are not exce1led by
any modern men; some of them
show off magnifcent1y under the
halos that the years have draped
their memories with; but the mass
es are blessed with comforts and an
intelligence that were not dreamed
OF when the century came in. The
nee schools are working their mir
acles, they are the daily journals,
and if the giants are less in stature
then were the giants of old, the av-
erage man is advancing as he never
was before, and the general intel
ligence of the country exceeds
that of any other people since the
world began. There are more mir
acles to be performed; this incom-
ing century is to eclipse the one
that is passing out.
We believe that within its cycle
the dawn of universal peace will be
witnessed and that men are to
advance nearer the plane on which
the angles walk.-Sa1t Lake Tyi6-

1T SETTLES ONE MAN.

Mr.. Bryan, in the North Ameri-
can ReUiez0, insists that the election
twas not necessarily conclusive on
any question" That is possibly
true, but it was conclusive on one
man, and that is that he never can
be elected President of the United
States. When a candidate for
President generally runs behind
the state ticket all over the coun-
try, it should be conclusive that the
wrong man was a candidate. The
Democrats have leaned on Mr..
Bryan twice and the result has been
the keeping them out of the hearing
of the Office of President for eight
years. Mr.. Bryan is not very mod
est, but his friends say he is honest
and if he has any real sense or fair
ness in ais soul it seems to us that
his proper position right now would
be to frankly say to the people of
the United States, and especially to
the Democratic party, II believe as
as firmly in the principles I advo-
cate as ever but now I am simply
a soldier in the ranks, and beg my
countrymen to believe that under
no circumstances will l be d candi-
date in I9o4," That would give
his party leaders chance. AS it
is, all the indications point to the
fact that in 1904 he will be a Pop
ulist candidate, hoping to carry
with him enough Democrats to
make, with the added Popu1ists vote
chance to win. That is really
what he did this year, and he is so
sanguine in his belief in himself
that we believe he will try it again
with a similar result.-Salt Lake

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

q The erroneous statement has.
been made that the presidential
electors of this State would meet
in December. They will meet the
second Monday in January. The.
misrepresentation arose from some
one consulting an Old United States
law which was repealed in 1887.
An act Of Congress of February 8,
1887, directs that t'the electors of
each State shall meet and give
their votes on the second Monday
in January next following their APP
pointment, at such place in the
State as the Legislature Of such
State shall direct"
In this State the designated place
is the capital. and noon the hour
of converting. Prior TO the passage
of the act Of 1887, the electors met
on the first Monday in December.
The twelfth amendment to the
Constitution of the United States
prescribes the method of voting for
President and Vice President, as
follows:
"The electors shall meet in their
respective States and vote by ballot
for President and Vice President,
one of whom at least shall not be an
inhabitant of the same State with
themselves. They shall name in
their ballots the person voted for as
President, and in distinct ballots
the person voted for as Vice Presi.
dent, and they shall make distinct
lists of all persons voted for as
President, and of all persons voted
for as Vice President, and of the
number of votes for each; which
list they shall sign and certify, and
transmit sealed to the seat of gov
eminent of the United States, di-
rected to the president of the Sen.
ate." T..
It is customary for the electors in
the various States to transmit a
copy of the list by mail and anoth'
er copy by special messenger, and
to designate one of the electors as
such messenger. The Office of this
Grand is usually in demand, and it
frequently the case that the electors
with difficulty decide among them
selves upon whom to bestow the IA

AMENDMENT.
The amendment to the constitu-
ton to authorize the state land
| board to invest the school funds in
state warrants and other securities
of the state was adopted by a vote
of 1885 to 1876. That shows how
little interest peopleta take in amend
ment; only little more than a
fifth of all those voting took the
trouble to vote on this question.
There were 57,oIA votes cast for
president, while the number cast
for governor was only 56,273. For
representative in congress the vote
was still smaller, only $500, and
for other places on the ticket the
shows further shrinkage. For aud

THE RAILROAl ER'S LIFE.
Of the Men Who Hun Our
Trans.

The ordinary events that go to make
up the life of the average railroad
man place him above the plane of
mere commonplace. He is a land
sailor, but unlike his brother who fol-
lows the sea, he is rarely story book
hero. though his deeds of pluck and
valor and his commendable habit of
sticking to his post in time of danger
mark him as man out of the or
dinary.
Little thought is given by the self
centered passenger as he rolls over
the country, to the character ana per-
sonality of the men who are respon-
sible for mis- safe transportation. In a
vague way they know that there is
a man forward at the throttle who
probably knows his business or if he
didn't he wouldn't be there.
Knowing however, that hundreds
of patrons of the Lackawanna would
be interested in having a newspaper
acquaintance at least with the men
who conduct their trains the Chronicle
will from time to time publish
sketches Of the lives of the railroad
men who make their home in Morris
town.

A LARGE MORTGAGE.
Placed on the Morris snd Essex road
tits Explsnation.

The Morris and Essex Railroad Com
pany filed in Union County on Tues
day, a mortgage of $50, 900, 600 to the
Farmer Loan and Trust Company Of
New York. The mortgage has attrac-
ted more than ordinary attention in
financial circles for the reason that the
funded indebtedness of the road has
been stated at little more than 1924, :
600. 600. President Truesdale explain
ed the new mortgage as follows
1t is not intended to issue bonds for
the full amount of this mortgage
all at once. The new bonds, which
are to bear interest at the rate of 81
per cent. per annum, will be issued
only as they may be required to raise
the money necessary to pay off the
old per cent. bonds as they mature.
Between five and six million dollars
worth of the per cent. bonds will
mature in 1901 and 1909 and their re-
placement by 80 per cent bonds will
save the company more than $3.50. 600
a year in interest charges. This re-
funding process will extend over a
long period, and the new mortgage
was made large enough to give the
company an authorized issue of bonds
$40, 900, 600 in excess of the present
funded indebtedness. This excess is to
provide for future improvements,
new equipment, emergencies, &c,
as the company S necessities increase. !"
This new $s5, 900, 900 mortgage is Tor
100 years and the interest on the
bonds is to be paid in gold if SO de-
sired All Of the Laokawanna' s bond
ed indebtedness is to be gradually
placed on 81 per cent. basis.
