The wear just closed has wonder.
ful record, from business stand
point, never in the history of this
country, has there been such prosper
ltv and the result can honestly be
claimed as following the wise policy
of the republican party. The average
business man cares little who fills the
political office, of the land, so long as
the government Is such. as will guar
antee stability. There can be no dis
pute, rs TO the tTcts, of this country
being ON a solid business foundation,
and it can only be kept there preserv-
ing the policy which has produced
these result. In less than one year,

have been elected, and installed in
Office, what the character OF men Sc
iected shall be, remains for the PEG
pie to determine. That the repu bill
can party, # entrusted with a contIn-
uat1on of power, will preserve the
line OF policy which has developed
che conditions which brought prosper
ity, is beyond question, and 1t only
remains for the country to determine
that ne backward step shall be taken.

JOSEPH PLACE GOES FREE
The Aged Prisoner Given His Liberty
Friday Afternoon.

Friday Afternoon.
We'll, gentlemen, am just as
clear OF this charge as any man IN
this room.
Gods my judge and | stand here
with a clean hand and a clear con-
science. !"
Such were the words that solemnlv
fell from the auivering lips of the ag-
ed Joseph Place Friday when
asked by Attorney Westenhayer in
Justice Snyder's court as to what he
had to say about the charges against
HIM of wilfully, maliciously and nm
lawfully staying his wife, Hester
Jane Pace.
The aged prisoner began testifvinq
this morning and in reply to the ques-
tions nut TO him by the lawyers be
began his experience by relat.
ing his experience with his wife.
which was to the effect that he was n
husband very much imposed on by a
cruel and wicked wife. He. said she
had at times threatened to take be TN
his and her own life, but that he had
never laid hands on her to do her
any harm. He always had. he said
the memory of his departed mother
n his mind and he would do no wo-
man. no matter what the provoeation
NAV be, any harm.
The accused told what he had 70
say and answered all questions in a
straight forward manner that i'm.
pressed his listeners La spite of his
advanced age his mind is clear and
his speech distinct His cross exami-
nation continued until this aftrano on
The witnesses who testified Thurs
day afternoon and this morning were
Frank Unger, Mason Parsons, John
Barney, h. Zimmerman, Henry Mil.
Ter, Hanna Barney. Richard Milbourn,
VIM. Barney, Charles Bar : ey and
Samuel Ruble.
THE PRISONER RELEASED.
When Justice Snyder called his
court to order Friday afternoon there
was a surprise in store for the aged
prisoner and the large number of spec
tators who had assembled in the room
to hearTthe trial of the case. Assis-
tant Prosecuting Attorney LINDSAY
arose and stated that while there had
been some conflicting points In the
testimony and there were some points
that had not been satisfactorily ex-
planned, vet he recognized the fact
that the evidence was not sufficient TO
hold the defendant.
Mr.. Westenhaver, attorney for the
defense, replied by stating that he
agreed with what the Attorney for
the State had stated and said further
that he had evidence to satisfactorily
explain the points to which he had
reference. Mr.. Westenhaver conclud
ed by congratuIating the assistant
prosecuting attorney on the man ner
in which he had conducted the case
and thanked him for the fair and
courteous treatment he and his eli
ent had received at his hands.
Justice Snyder then announced that
the case against the prisoner was dis
continued and Joseph Place again
drew the breath OF free man. The
dismissal of 1.-THE case met with the
approval of the spectators, who cheer
ed the old man. and for about a quar-
ter of an hour he was kept busy shak-
ing hands.

ROCKEFELLER NOT A HAPPY MAN.

John D. Rockefeller, the million

Mr.. Rockefeller is worth an enor-
nous sum, and his income is $50,
600, 600 year. Since 1891 he has
been so delicate that it is impossible
for him to eat hearty meal. On
his estate OF 1000 acres, Pocantico
Hills, he often works for days at a
time in the fields, hoping TO regain
his strength but thus far his efforts
have been in vain. After day of
exercise he sits down to a supper o.
orakers and skinned milk, which rs
served Mt temperature of 80 and
two-tifths, for nothing NAV pass his
lips at temperature lower than
blood heat. Ice has been for years
a forbidden luxury to him. Rookie
Teller must walk every day. whether
he wants to or not. He cannot smoke
cigars, drink wine or liquors. drive
his fast horses or sail In his fine
Yacht. Anyone of these pastimes
would upset hum and make him sick
for months.

RAILROAD MATTERS.

Hereafter the Baltimore 81 Ohio
Railroad will handle all passenger
business of its lines, including tourist
trips and special travel, directly
through its passenger department. To
this extent the services of tourist
agencies are dispensed with. For the
present it will continue to handle
business offered by the agencies for
points beyond its system.
This move is regarded as direct
result of the close existing relation
shin of the Pennsylvania lines to the
Baltimore & Ohio. For fifteen years
the larger system has absolutely re-
fused to recognize tourist agenies. or
to handle their parties in special cars
or otherwise. 1t has developed st the
same time, under the personal direc-
tion of George W. Boyd, assistant gen.
eral passenger agent, scheme of per-
sonally conducted tours.
1t is expected that the Baltimore &
Ohio Will be followed in its present
action by the other railroads now vir-
tually contl oiled by the Pennsylvania,
and that ultimately all these affiliated
lines will go the full langth the big
company has gone in regard to this
business.
Baltimore & Ohio agents generally
are instructed to look after special
travel for their road, and have been
supplied with the necessary tickets for
what is termed industrial tourist
business TO all points on the road.
road tickets with accompanying cou-
pons for hotel bills on route, side trips.
baggage transfers, and in fact every
thing connected with the expenses of
a trip, just as the tourist agency does.
sen. CAMPBELL ISTEaVIE WED,
According 10 State Senator William
Campbell, of Charles Town, who has
been in this section on business, for
the pasttwo weeks, the eastern Pauhan-
die is going into the fruit raising bus
mess on an extensive acale.
What is known as the eastern Pam
handle is made MP of the counties of
Jefferson. Berkeley. Morgan and a
portion of Hampshire. "Our farmers
can't make expenses raising grain, I"
said Senator Campbell, and they
are forced to turn their land to some
other business.
1t has been demonstrated that in
these counties the finest OF fruit can
be grown, and those who have put
out their farms in fruit have made
good money. Ii Is n common thing
now TO see farms of 800 acres entirely
in fruit. Individual effort is giving
way in some instances TO corporate
efforts and some half dozen corpora
! tions have been formed with view
to engaging in the raising OF fruit.
The Allegheny Orchard company
has 10, 600 acres of trees in Berkeley,
Morgan and Hampshire counties. =
