A Negro Urchin Kills Another Presum-
ably for Cents.

Durham, N. c., July 11.-News
was brought here tonight by pas
sengers on the Norfolk and Western
train that a negro boy named Drum
right was murdered late yesterday
afternoon by his cousin, both were
boys, one twelve and the other four
teen years Of age.
Some men at work on bridge
gave the younger boy two cents to
go after bucket of water. The
two boys went off together, and late
in the afternoon the younger one
was found in dying condition,
passing away soon afterwards. Since
then nothing has been heard from
the older boy, and the supposition
is that they got into row over the
two cents and that the murder re-
suited. The particulars about the
affair are very meager.

The wreck-wosnas OF soas Of ths
Mea had Begun to Mortify whsa Res-
cue Came.
Tampa, Fla, July ls.-Captain
c. F. Watts, of the ill-fated brig, l..
F. Munson, from Mobile to Sagua
le'Grsnde, is In the city en- route to
Mobile. He himself Is a physical
wreck and tells . most thrilling
story Of the wreck Of his vessel. The
suffering Of Captain Watts and his
men Is something which is almost
too horrible to be put into words.
"Wrecked upon little raft, with
out food or water, under a blazing
sun for three days, followed by
huge, gloating sharks, seeing vessels
pass within hailing distance and
then fade into the distance, was al
most too much for a human to
stand," he says. The men, beaten
and battered by the wreck, lay more
dead than alive upon the raft, and
many of them with wounds, which
had begun to mortify when they
were rescued.
'Sunday, while about 200 miles
west Of Tortugas, the vessel was lit
orally battered to pieces in a storm.
Almost in an instant all on board
realized that the vessel was sinking.
The life boat had been made ready,
and provisioned for several days. Ali
hands rushed to lower it, and in
their haste the boat was overturned
and rendered useless to them. They
only, had time to climb upon the
after house when the vessel sank,
and left them twisting In the eddy
of the water where the vessel had
been.
For three days the crew, lashed
to the top Of the afterhOuse, were
upon the tossing waves of the Gulf,
the improvised raft upon which
they sat being covered a foot or
more with water and keeping that
distance all the time. Thus for
three days their bodies were under
the water. The lashing waves sOCn
tore the clothing from the men and
their naked bodies were exposed to
the tropical sun. - -.--.--
ssThey saw four vessels loom into
view, and then disappear. When
the night came on, chilling winds
made the men shiver and suffer, to
be followed by the blistering heat
of a tropical sun the next day. With
dry and parched lips and throats
they suffered only such agonies as
can be experienced, but not de-
scribed.
"Monster sharks followed in their
wake, and occasionally one more
venturesome than the rest would
come and place his snout against the
little raft. These harbingers Of
death were always with the un.
happy and helpless crew. Beaten
and battered in storm of q few
days before, three men were wound
ed. They could do nothing fol
themselves and modification set In
soon and added to the horror OF
their situation"
Captain Watts says he does not
believe his men will recover from
their terrible exposure. AS he lef
them at Key West they were in 9
horrible shape.

SCHOOL FOR TROLLEY MEN.

The Brooklyn Trolley company has decided at this late
day do what should done by every electric
railway company years ago-namely, establish a school
for the training of conductors and moormen Il pro-
posed to give each weeks practical instruction in
the running Of special tracks and under the
vision of skilled employee AS the school is be
skeetOn. 1. is inferred that the teaching will include
something theory motor
merely the art Of starting and stopping Obviously
there should be experienced electrician among the
teachers in fact course should be thorough enough
to qualify the for dealing with emergency which
could arise in the management of trolley and
still such confidence that there could be loss
and consequent disaster Long ago an electricians society
in Boston urged that trolley car should be thoroughly
instructed in relation their duties and also that city
electrician should be appointed examine into the quail
cations Of conductors and motormen chiefly to learn
whether these railway employees know what to do when
anything out of the ordinary happens to a car
The need Of school OF instruction has often been rec
ognized by observing passengers who have been both
alarmed and amused by the behavior of street railway
ployes wnen the electricity manifested its power
unusual The sudden burning of the contents of the
controller box with odor Of scorched rubber and
times the blowing Of hole through the sheeron casing
accompanied by fash of electric light have put conduct
os and motomen into panic. The have shown
their ignorance Of the of the trouble and also
exaggerated of the danger Of the circumstance The
public has how easily ratified" motorman may
come when brake slips and how he in his fright do
exactly the wrong thing
So it is to the great interest not only Of the companies
ub also and especially to the public that the street rail
thousands Of people every day. should be fitted for best
discharge Of their duties The death roll Of trolley victims
in Brooklyn is long and while the may not
be bamabe in of fatal accident there be
doubt that exhaustive knowledge
the running of a the part the moorman would
often lessen the danger knowledge is great calmer Of
nerves. and few subjected to as severe strain of
the nerves the trolley motormen The example Of
tn Brooklyn company should be followed by ali other
panies, particularly by those in the large cities.

cARNEciE,s PENSION FUND.

When you think how wealth tghtens its purse strings;
how hard and graspng and gripping auence usually is;
how fortunebudng economy becomes at last founepro
tecng stingness Andrew Carnegie has done wonderful
thing by providing for his former employees pension fund
Of four million dollars.
This saying that the pension fund idea is prac-
teal one There is certain fear Of patronizing strain
certain enticing obligation put upon workmen
pected curtauent Of civic independence in It, which labor
whose life has become organization will look approx
ingly upon admres Mr. Carnegie and for that
reason it would NOT be at all surprising to see future
growing this magnificent benehcence as troubous
issues as beset the Pullman experiment
But as for Carnegie himself who has done this thing
in the goodness Of his heart and who only thought Of
good to the workngmen and who wishes it to stand as
earnest Of his regard for the nobility Of labor the action
IS grand.
It's significance is that the grownup messenger boy and
the gaDher come into fortune hunders by the act his
conviction that all men are created equal that the laborer
only worthy of his hire worthy Of fraternity
worthy Of reward worthy protection Of the more for
tunate
Accompanying his letter making public the fund is a
love letter Pittsburg strong men love some city
So Carnegie loved Pisburg the city of CRIME SCOT Gin

Carnegie loved his town. AS many another he watched
with joy its development its steady expansion the happi-
Of its Industrious souls and when he came upon re
remen to leave it, he could not help but speak the ardor
he felt
All Of which pension fund and love letter have forever
settled the question Of Andrew Carnegies nation He is
