The Alaska Award.

The Alaskan boundary commission
has decided in favor of the United States
on every point except as regards Port
land canal or inlet which is awarded tt
Canada Portland canal is the south
ern boundary and is but one of many
inlets in that region. Its cession te
Canada is of no particular importance
to either country. The real controversy
was over Lynn canal, far to the north.
It extends into the minland nearly ole
hundred miles, and for great part OF
the way liz not more than mile and
half wide. At its head are the towns
Dyea and Skagway, the ports OF the
KIondike region.
The most important aspect OF the
verdict is the settlement of an inter
national question by honest argument
and investigation Too much credit
cannot be given to Lord Alverstone fol-
rising above the party view of his owl
Government and giving his decisive
vote for what he was convinced to be
the ruth. That is what the tribunal
was formed for: but the imparLiality
necessary to do it is SO rare that LORD
Alverstones course il an eminent ad
vance in the settlement Of international
disputes
The decision is considered victory
for this country the chief credit for
which is given to d. 7. Watson oi
Pittsburg.

Accident at worthington.

While Frank r. Patterson. Curtis Nc

county were at work. Friday afternoon,

Robt Clsypole farm. near Worthington,
into main line of the Philadelphia Gas
Co.. the immense pressure. nearly 1000
pounds, in the well blew the headgate or
thottle ont of the end of the pipe with
which the men were working and hurl-
ed them through the air as though shot
from a cannon. Patterson and Mccall,
who were directly in front of the pipe,
were picked up unconscious 20 feet
away Their clothing had been partly
stripped from their bodies. and theil
faces, necks and hands driven full OF
splinters, sand and small particles Of
debris till. as Harry Patterson. broth
er of Frank. put it, they could not be
recognized and looked worse than small
pox victims
McCall's arm had been broken above
and below the elbow, and he had long
cash in his head and neck.
Patterson's worst injury was hole
about three inches deep. in his right
side just above the hip. Whatever had
made the hole had shattered the hir
bone very badly.
McElwain, who was STOPPING In front
of the 'Nipe, was struck on the head by
the escaping volume of gas and rolled
over and over like ball for distance
of forty feet and rendered seDseless.
His forehead and cheeks were driven
full of small particles of debris and al
first it was feared his eyes had been put
out, which fortunately was incorrect.
The other three men were thrown
about and cut and bruised, but not seri-
ously.
Luckily the gas did not ignite.
The injured men were taken to their
boarding place nearby and doctors were
summoned from WoIthington and Kit
tanning who dressed their injuries.
Mccall soon recovered consciousness
but Patterson remained senseless until
Saturday morning.
On Saturday afternoon. Drs. Bricker
of Butler and Weidman of Mercer went
to Worthington to remove pieces oi
broken bonAfrom Patterson's hip. but
found him improving 60 well that the
operation was deemed unnecessary.
The force of the blow received by
Patterson is shown by the fact that g
gold watch carried in his watch pocket,
was torn to pieces. Its hands had stop

At Lexington South Carolina the
trial Of Lieutenant Governor James H.
Tillman, who was charged with the
murder of N. g. Gonzales, editor of the
State in Columbia. on January Is last,
ended in an acquittaL The jury before
which Tillman has been on trial since
September 2Sth, brought in verdict Of
not guilty, thus ending judicial hear
ing which has eDgrossed the attention
Of the public Of South Carolina RS none
other has in the last quarter of CEN
tury. The jury was ont for "a hours
before arriving at verdict. Never was
a case in South Carolina courts more
vigorously contested than this. The
solicitor was assisted in the prosecution
by four lawyers while the accused was
defended by seven lawyers, an excep-
tional array Of counsel. More than a
hundred witnesses gave testimony,
about AS many On one eide as the other,
and nine lawyers argued before the
jury. There was a general exodus last
OF which has been materially increased
i
attending had come from other parts of
the State. Mr.. Tillman left on an
afternoon train for his home in Edge
field, accompanied by his wife and
friends from his home county.
After the verdict had been recorded
the motion by counsel of defense for the
discharge Of the defendant was imme-
diately signed by Judge Gary. the
solicitor for the state asserting,
and Tillman was Mt liberty
When the legal formalities had been
gone through with Tillman walked mp
to the bench and shook hands with the
Judge, after which he shook the hand
OF each Of the jurors, and later was sur
rounded by his friends. who extended
their Congratulations.
This man, Tiliman. Is brother Of the
notorious Senator. He shot down an
unarmed man, in the street, for pub
licIy criticizing his official acts. II look
cd like cold blooded, deliberate muir
der, and to rs. his acquittal seems a
travesty Oh justice.
