Arrested John A. MurrelI.

The death near this place last
Saturday of "Uncle Ted Bennett
at the age of Sc years recalls an in
cident of 1887 in which Mr.. Ben
nett figured consp1cuously. The
incident is remembered by several
of the older residents of Hunting
don, among them being United
States Commissioner Crockett, who
told the Banner correspondent of
the occurrence. Uncle Ted was
the man who handcuffed the noted
robber and outlaw, John A. Muir
rell, who was then conducting a
reign of terror throughout West
Tennessee.
Murrell had a thoroughly organ
lied band of half hundred or more
confederates, with rendezvous To-
Gated at different parts OF the State.
One of these bands, accompanied
by Murrell himself, camped near
Mr.. Benefits place, two miles
north of town. Bennett came to
town and secured a posse. AS they
were returning they met Murrell in
the road. After an exchange OF
shots the leader was captured and
securely handcuffed by Bennett.
He was placed in Jail here, but
afterwards escaped.
Murrell had killed a number OF
men in his day.-Huntingdon Cor

i6cation of the merger OF the
Pennsylvania and Baltimore q
Ohio railways. If the funds paid
out for the construction OF the de-
pot, etc, came out of the munich
pal treasury and municipal taxes
there might be some ground for
the correspondents to treat it as a
local matter but as it is, at least
half of the expenses of the District
of Columbia are paid out of the

gineered through the Senate, will

Who Pays For Negro Schools?

The esteemed Iowa State Regis
ter. which has choice assortment
of transformation about things
Southern, makes this remark:
at is interesting to note that 80
per cent. of the money used for the
support of the colored schools is fur
nished by the colored people them
selves, while in few States, includ-
ing Kentucky, Delaware and Mary
land, the blacks have not only met the
total expenses of their schools but
have contributed a surplus towards
the white schools. Since the war the
colored people of the South have paid
for the education of their own chill
dren SIC, 900 900, and for race 50 per
cent. of whom could not read and
write on January l, 1863, their prog
ress has been remarkable. The negro
has done we'll in that thirty-nine
years, but he will do even better in
the next thirty-nine.
Those statements are interesting
and would be important if true,
but it happens that they are alb
surdly erroneous. The negroes,
like the whites, ''furni sh'' money
for general education only in the
way of taxes, and as they own an
exceedingly small proportion OF
the taxable property of the South,
the taxes they pay for school pur-
poses cut comparatively little fig
ure in the result. The South has
expended about $1OO,O00,O00 in
support of schools for negroes
since the Civil War, and of this

The Committee on Interstate

ment of a Department of Com

stitute for the Senate bill. Hon.
II. b. Martin, national secretary
of the Antitrust League and Mr..
H. j. Schulters, chairman of the
National Legislation Committee of
the Knights of Labor, appeared
before the committee and warmly
advocated the provisions of the
bill which are calculated to secure
that publicity of the affairs of the
trusts which was so strongly re-
commended by the President in
his message to Congress-. There
is some likihood that part of its
provisions will be added to the
Senate bill when that measure
comes up for consideration in the

WASHINGTON LETTER.

The debate on the Philippine
bill, which still occupies the atten-
tion of the Senate, was marked by
a very able speech by Senator Ba-
con of Georgia on Tuesday in the
course of which the Senator com.
pared the concentration camps in
the Philippines with those estab-
lished by Weyler in Cuba. The
speech as a whole was conservative
but for that very reason it's more
powerful passages caused the Re
pubIicans, who have attempted to
justify the administrations policy
in the islands, to writhe under the
scathing charges of the Georgia
Senator. 1t is now anticipated
that the bill will be disposed of on
Thursday, May 30.

1t is a sad commentary on the
perspicacity-or the reliability
of the Washington correspondents
that so little news has gone out to
the country in regard to the infa
nous measure which recently
passed the Senate at the instIga-
ton of the Pennsylvania Railway
Company. This bill, which con-
veys to the company named funds
and privileges estimated as being
worth nearly 81 100000 provides
for the erection of Union" de-
pot and the elevation of railroad
tracks within the city limits. 1t
is the second measure in favor of
which Senator Hanna has seen fit
to speak at this session of Con-
gress, the first having been the
Ship Subsidy bill. The bill passed
by an almost strict party vote, the
only Republican who voted against
it being Senator Hansbrough of

1t is safe to assume that the
Philippine bill will be followed by
the Nicaraguan Canal bill and that,
in turn, by the Cuban reciprocity
bill. Were there harmony in the
Republican ranks the Cuban bill
would be next considered as that
is the wish of the President and
the Republican leaders, but the in
surgent beet sugar senators are
still firm in their opposition and in
the hope that the approaching
heated period and the pressure
from the House for adjournment
will break their resistance the con-
sideration of the Cuban bill will
be postponed, unless Senator Platt
can come to some agreement in the
meantime by which he may feel
assured of the prompt passage of
a Cuban reciprocity measure.

The House, after days of consid-
GRAFTON, has at last passed the Ma
val Appropriation bill. An amend
ment, which makes it illegal to
purchase any copies of Maclay's
history for use In the Naval Acad-
envy at Annapolis, was adopted
and also one changing the title of
what are now naval cakets" to
"midshipmen." The most signf-
cant feature Of the debate which
led to the prohibition of the Mac
lay history was the statement of
Representative Dayton, of West
Virginia, that after the record of
the Schley court of inquiry had
been read by the members of the
House there might be a Congress
sional investigation of Admiral
Schley's case. This is considered
a direct afront to the President
who has ordered that the Schley
affair be considered closed. The
adoption of the amendment of
Representative Roberts, of Massa-
chusetts, which provides that three
vessels shall be built by the Secre-
tary of the Navy in government
navy yards, was an overwhelming
defeat for the Republican leaders.
Chairman Foss, of the Naval AT
fairs Committee, had. originally
opposed the provision that one
ship be built in the navy yards
and the leaders were all opposed
to the idea. They opposed it be-

There are various stories going

tual truth of which | have not yet
been able to ascertain, in regard
to the test of disappearing gun
carriages which recently took
place in the presence of a number
of Senators and Representatives
near Washington, Newspaper re,
ports of the test say that it was
eminently satisfactory but | have
learned from other sources that
when the officers conducting the
tests were requested to operate
the carriages with a small amount
of sand on they refused, and it was
admitted that they would not work
if they were not clean. 1t was
represented to them, according to
my informant, that there were
such guns under fire, in actual
use they would be liable to be
shcwered with sand from the en-
placements as we'll as with bits of
shell, ETC., but the reply was that
men would be detailed to keep the
working parts clean. The concIu-
sion Of some of those who wit
messed the test was that the guns
and their elaborate carriages
would soon be put out of commits
sion in an actual battle.
