MURDERS AND ACCIDENTS.
Deadly Work of Bullets In West vtr
ginia-PeOpIe Becoming Alarmed.

Elkins, W. Va. Nav 24.--Another
murder was committed at the Second
tunnel on the Coal and Iron railway
Tue ,day and the murderer escaped
and is still at large, as has been the
rule in Randolph county for some
time. A negro employed on the tun-
nel,discharged breech loading shot
gun into the body of negro woman,
killing her instantly and fastened to
the mountains, making good his
escape. A love affair is responsible
for the crime, which is only one of a
great many equally serious since the
construction of the road started a
year ago; none of which have been
punished. The names of neither the
murderer or murdered can be learned,
as the negro empolyes are numbered
and not named by their EMPLOYERS.
Citizens of the town and county are
alarmed at the lawbreaking which is
allowed, and the next murderer if he
can be caught will be summarily
dealt with.
Word was received here of the muir
der at Durbln. the terminus of the
Coal and Iron railroad, of James
Stacy, by an Italian laborer, who after
shooting and instantly killing Stacy,
fed to the mountains and has not yet
been found, although posse is
searching for him.
Joe Heavier son of Samuel Heav
ner, while hunting in the mountains
near the Pocahontas line, was mis-
taken for wild turkey and shot.
Willie Harris was seriously injured
by thehccidential discharge of rifle
at Meadowville. He is 16 years old
and may not recover.

Director Hitchcock oustcd.

Scranton, Pa, May 2S. Recorder
James Moir yesterday dismissed Direc-
tor OF Public Safety Hitchcock and ap-
pointed r. r. Wormser as his success
sor. Mr.. Hitchcock became director OF
public safety on April 4, being appoint
ed to succeed r. H. Clemens, whom the
recorder appointed one day and dis
missed the next. because he disagreed
with the recorder regarding appoint
ments of subordinates. Mr.. Hitchcock
was prosecuting attorney Of the Mu-
nicipal League, and no sooner did he
enter upon his duties than he began to
use the police force to carry on the
leagues crusade against Sunday liquor
selling, selling to minors and selling
without license. His aggressiveness
brought the liquor element down on
the city administration.

BACK FROM INSPECTION TOUR.
Governor Makes Appointments for the
Penisentfary Board

Charleston. W. Va, May 27.-The
board of public works have returned
after their tour of inspection of rail
road property of the state. The trip
was not a iunketting affair like many
former tours. but the board made q
careful inspection of the properly
especially depot buildings, roadbed,
etc. The annual returns of the COM
panies were taken long and compari-
IS made, ,rhich viii be Of great
value to he board when it makes the
annual assessment Secretary of the
Board Hon. William NJ. 0 Dawson
made the entire trip with the mem
bers.
Governor White shortly after his
return announced the last of his inn
portant boards. the long looked for
penitentiarv board. 1t is thought
here that the governor could not have
made happier selections. The old
board made such an enviable record,
placing the institution on self-sup-
porting basis. that he re-appointed j.
William Gllkeson, of Moortield and
John A. Boyd, of Moundsville.
Messrs. Newton Ogden of ST. Mary s
and ". W. Whyte, of WEIGH, are also
re-appointments, but comparatively
new members. The other member is
CLARK Hamilton, of Wheeling. There
was spirited contest over the APP
pointment of the resident director,
but Mr. Boyd's fine record and the
intense loyalty of his friends won
the governors decision. All are men
of affairs. and the continued good
management of the states penal insti-
tuition is assured by the appointments.

made the following statement contain
ing bis Interpretation OF the decisions
of the court.
THE decisions are substantially a
victory for the government. They sus-
tain to the fullest extent the so-callad
insular policy of the administration.
The government now has the sanction
Of the supreme court for governing
these islands as their needs require.
The court holds that the constitution
did not of its own force at once apply
to those coded territories. placing their
people. their products and their ports
on an immediate equality with ours
and comforting upon them all the
rights. privileges and immunities en-
joyed by the people, products and
ports of the several states.
OBVIOUSLY, what have said regard.
Ing Porto Rico applies equally well to
the Philippines. SO that the presidents
perfectly free under the Spooner act
to govern the Philippines as their
needs and our interests may require"

STORES WILL CLOSE EARLY.
Papers Being Circulated by the Clerks
and They are Meeting with Success


The clerks have started the early
closing movement for the summer
and paper is now being circulated
among the merchants for their sigma
lures. The movement this year in
cludes the stores of all trades
clothing. dry goods, shoe. jewelry,
grocery, etc.
There have so far been but few
who have opposed the movement
and it is thought that all will agree
to close at the hours specified on the
paper from June 3 70 September 10.
According to the agreement the
jewellery, clothing, dry goods and shoe
stores are to close at 6 p. m. and the
grocery stores at s p. M, Saturdays
and paydays at the wooden and knit
ting mills excepted.
Although the early closing of the
stores causes the people some little
inconvenience, they are not so selfish
as to demand that the clerks and
merchants work all day and until
late at night during the hot summer
months, when the employees of all
other trades and professions quit
work at the close of day. When the
day ends and the cool hours of the
evening arrive it is nothing but just
to the clreks to allow them to leave
t he cares of the store room behind
and to join the great throng of
working people who seek rest and rec
reation in the fresh open air which
sweeps over the ountain top bringing
with 1t the fresh scent of the wheat
fields and the wild bloom of the
country.

FORECASTS FOR JUNE.
ssorms--Evenings and Nights for
DAYS

Days.
Rev. Irl Hicks forecast for June
follows; June will come In ar the cul
mlnating stages Of storm period
which begins the last days OF May
Full moon at extreme south declina
ton on the end will intensity electri-
cal storms, bur will cause drift OF
atmosphere i'll tides from the north,
and bring down over the country a
marked change to cooler immediately
after the close of the storms. A re-
turn of storm conditions viii appear
on and touching the 4th TO 9Th. Ris-
ing barometer and cooler, fair weather
will be the natural order behind the
disturbances 'of this period, lasting
progressively from about the 9th to
the Sth.
The regular Vulcan storm period ex-
tending from the sth to the 18th,
leads fully to June solstice perturba-
tions, with Mercury disturbance al
so central on the l2th. Electric dis
turbances, thunder-storms, and much
general and continuous lightning will
illuminate the evenings and nights
for days in succession. About Sun
day the 9th to Wednesday the 18th
MANY electrical storms, with rain and
possible violence, will most likely &C.
cur. Showery. unsettled weather is
potable into the reacionary distur-
Dances due from the 10th to 18th.
The Vuclan storm period extending
from the goth to the Goth will bring
the elimination of the June solstice
storms. For number of days there
will be repetition Of intense and
vivid electrical storms, with cloud
Burst here and there. Some of the
most decided storms of the month are
probable about Friday the 2lst to
Tuesday tn 25th.
A fact against which we caution
our readers is that the rain storms
during The June solstice come up from
very unusual and unlocked for quar-
tiers of the heavens. Local squalls
dash in confused directions, slipping
up on the blind side and unexpect-
eddy deluging the unwary.
We close these forecasts with the
warning we have often given for
June; let our readers mark what we
say : Do not take shelter under trees
ON the approach of thunder storms.
There is scarcely more dangerous
place possible at such times.
We caution our aders aginst the
danger of losing their new cut grasses
by having them wet with June
showers. Watch your opportunities
between the storm periods and
showers. If you find that daily cy-
Gle of the afternoon showers are upon
you. just at the time when you want
to cut your grass. let it alone until
the rainy conditions pass off. 1t will
not suffer as much standing as it will
in ricks and windrows God grant all
the people the best possible condi-
tions under which to work out the
burdens and blessings of the season,
and wisdom and willingness to seek
and appropriate all the information
and all the helps possible.
