NOT TO BLAME.
Coroner's Jury Exculpates Ma
gle and Hoffman for Death
of Ruth Swayze.
Citizens Give Evidence.

The jury empanneled by Coroner
B. f. Sharpless of Catawissa to in
quire into the death of little Ruth
Swayze whose life was crushed be-
meath the trolley car in front of her
parents home in Berwick on Tues
day of last week, met at the st.
Charles Hotel in Berwick Saturday
evening to hear the evidence and
render a verdict. The jury was
composed of Edward Schenke, fore
man, Philip Clemens, Hud Kline,
James Ruch, Harry Rabert, and
Kinney Freas.
District Attorney A. w. Duy was
present and assisted the coroner in
taking the deposition.
Ray Hoffman who was the motor
man on the car, was first heard.
He stated that he had seen the little
ones playing in the street when
some distance away and had given
the customary warning with the
bell. He saw the child run out
from behind the pile of shingles and
directly in front Of the car. He
stopped the car as quickly as pos
sible but it had already passed owe.
her.
Conductor Nagle was in the rear
of the car when the accident occur
red, and of course his evidence was
mainly to show the rate of speed at
which the car was travelling. The
cars, he said never run through the
borough limits at a greater speed
than about eight miles an hour.
He was not familiar with the special
speed regulation i'll the borough.
In answering question as to mo-
torman Hoffman's carefulness, he
replied that he was considered the
most careful and watchful motor
man in the company's employ
Others who testified were James
Smethers, Andrew Depuy, Mrs. c
H. Fritz, George Clemens, Frank
Carey and Henry Cope. The evi
dence of all of them tended to show
that the occurrence was an acciden
and wholly unavoidable. Distric
Attorney, after the testimony haC
closed, stated that there was NJ
state law which provided for fender
on trolley cars. The municipal Law
he said made provision for them.
The jury after some deliberatiol
returned this verdict:
THAT the jury finds that Rutl
Swayze met her dea h by being rul
over by car No. Of the Columbi
& Montour Trolley Company O.
the first day of May, 1903 at 2:3
p m., and that Conductor Nagl
and motorman Ray Hoffman ofsai
car are exonerated from any blam
in connection with said death. w
further find that the speed of cal
at certain times has exceeded ths
prescribed by borough ordinance
and recommend that the require
limit of speed be observed. W
further recommend that the cal
should be equipped with tenders {
some other safety device whereof
such accidents might be averted

A SOCIAL EVENING.
Car Shop Men Entertained at
the Parish House.


distributed at the shops of the
Bloomsbury Car Mfg. Co. cards
reading as follows:
1.-The Rev. D. N. Kirkby invites
the men of the Bloomsbury Car
Works to spend a social evening at
the Parish House, Tuesday May
I2th at p. M.
Pursuant to this invitation
goodly number gathered, though
not nearly SO many as there ought
to have been. An informal program
had been rrranged. Mr. w. P.
Meigs opened the proceedings by
stating that the object of the gather
ing was to give the men an idea Of
what the Protestant Episcopal
Church is, and to overcome the pre-
judice that seems to exist in many
places, that it is the church for the
wealthy and fashionable, and not
for the poor. DR.. A. X. Aldinger
then favored the audience with two
songs, accompanied on the piano by
Mrs. Frank Colley, and Mrs. J. K.
Miller played three selections on
the violin. Refreshments were
served, consisting of coffee, sand
wiches and waters. Rev. Mr..
Kirkby then addressed the audience.
He said he wanted it distinctly un-
derstood that he had no thought of
influencing any present who were
members of other churches, to leave
their own church and come to ours,
but if there were any present who
were not connected with any church
he urged upon them the necessity Of
going to church somewhere, a1d
said that they would be welcome at
any time to St. Paul's. He spoke
of the prejudice often existing
against this church by people who
know nothing of the history, the
aims, and purposes of the Episcopal
Church. Some people think of it
as church where they read every
thing out of a book and the clergy
men wear funny kinds of vestments
but he would be very glad to explain
at any time that there is something
more than that in this church. His
address, which was an informal
talk, lasted about fifteen minutes.
He was followed bv Col. Freeze in
few brief remarks, who said that
by reason of developments in elect.
tricity the different parts OF the
earth have been brought very close
together. We read in our morning
papers accounts of what happened
yesterday in China and Egypt, and
other distant points. So the Chris
tan religion and the churches have
drawn men closer together, all aim
ing at the same mark, no matter to
what church they belong, all chris
tian men believing in the same AL
! mighty Father, the same Son o
God, and the same Holy Spirit
and such gatherings as this canno
S help but strengthen all the churches
Prayers were then offered by Mr.
S Kirkby and all joined in saying th
Lords Prayer, after which all wer
e invited over to look at the church
S Some present had never been insid
r the building before. A few selec
y tions were played on the organ b,
DeForest Hummer and Geo. I,
Elwell, and then the evenings en-
tertainment came to a close. l
was a novel idea on the part Of Nh
Kirkby, and was most successful,
d and agreeably carried out.

PIMA COUNTY BONDS AND STATEHOOD

When Bird Coler appeared in Wash
 ington a few days ago opposing the admission of Arizona to statehood be-
 cause the people of Pima county had refused to pay what everybody knows to be a fraudulent debt, into which the county was led twenty years ago by the bunco schemes of eastern schemers and tricksters, he was at tempting to willfully defame and mis- represent the good credit of the terri tory; he was playing a game of bluff which should in no way disturb the honest and debt-paying people of Pima county. The railroad bonds referred to by MT Coler were issued in aid of the construction of a railroad from Tucson to Globe. The railroad was never built and the county never re- ceived a single cent of value from the issuance of the bonds. It was bold steal and the United States supreme court once declared by it's verdict in a suit that the bonds were void and of no value. Afterwards by operation of Murphy's refunding act the purpose of which was to legalize a railroad debt in Yavapai county, the Pima county bonds were declared by the courts as having been rehabilitated. The peo- pie of Pima county are now seeking to further resist the payment of these bonds; it is not an attempt to repudi- ate or refuse the payment of any just obligation, but it is a righteous endea- vor to avoid being held up by band of eastern confidence men who secur- ed these bonds without giving any value for them. Arizona pays her debts promptly and MT Coler will not be abe to create the impression that the people of Arizona are seeking to avoid any just obligation.

 banquet at Chicago, intimated to his hearers that European powers are in conspiracy to SOW discord among the nations of the western hemisphere and take oyert action whenever the propitious moment shall arrive, says the Los Angeles Express.
 Recent occurrences in Venezuela undoubtedly have brought this subject to the attention of General Macarthur, but the conditions which apparently are emphasized today have been in ex- istence ever since President Monroe enunciated his famous doctrine. What is now seen is merely development of what has been latent for more than three-fourths of a century and core spends with such outbreaks as the Maximilian and British-Venezuelan in cidents.
 As the Monroe doctrine is a mill tant declaration against desires and ambitions of several European nations it is always pertinent to consider whether the friction which it naturally engenders is likely to become greater or less. It is observed that several continental nations are impelled by necessity to engage in colonial eXpan- sion. The commercial policy of the United States as expressed by its pro tective tariff has forced these nations to buy food supplies from the western republic, but practically it has pre- vented them from making payment in manufactured products. This attitude has turned the thoughts of the shut out nations to the need of acquiring which might. supply them with food.
 This view of the case suggests that opposition to the Monroe doctrine may increase with years. BU, the develop ments in the Venezuela case show that it would be difficult to form a combination against the United States. There is an appearance of plausibility .n the apparent attempt of Germany 10 carry matters with high hand in Venezuela and provoke the anger of he United States while the kaiser's alliance with England is eff .ective. But the people of Great Brit ain have been the loudest in complain ng of German actions and they have not been backward in saying the in- tent has been to pick a quarrel with he Americans. England is not in need of more colonies to furnish her food supplies and can see no urgent necessity for the overthrow of the Monroe doctrine. On the other hand British attack on the United States would endanger the possession of Can ida by the mother country. For this 'eason there is reluctance 10 pull Ger :. nan chestnuts out of the fire With ,ut Great Britain there can be no ef- .ectiye combination against the Unit d States. and it is difficult to conceive ,f any time in the future when British statesmen would care to risk the loss 't Canada.

OPIUM JOINTS IN CLIFTON

The terrible tragedy enacted in Cliff ton Wednesday draws attention to the fact that the Chinese of that town are permitted to carry on their opium joints without restraint. In the past some feeble effort has been made to suppress these damnable dens but nothing has been accomplished and the almond eyed heathen continue. to deal out death and degradation to whoever he can lure to his den. The young man who brutally murdered his paramour and then sent a bullet through his own head had learned the opium habit in the Chinese dens of Clifton; he was raised in that town and most of his life had been spent there; how many more Clifton boys are to be ruined in the hop-joints of Clifton remains to be seen. Perhaps there. are some now who are just learning to Init the pipe" who will be led to more horrible fate than that of young Garland. The people of Clifton seem to have general knowl- edge of these Chinese dens yet there is an absence of any visible deter n1ination to suppress and get rid of them.
 Of all the evil habits to which hu- manity becomes addicted the opium habit is the most degrading and de- plorable. A man may, quit drinking whiskey, he may restrain his licen- tiousness, stop gambling and reform from every bad habit. except that of using opium, when the habit has branded him as "a fend." When men and women become confirmed opium fends there is no hope. of reforma- tion- It is a duty which the people of Clifton owe to themselves. the good name of their town, to the welfare of the present and future generations to drive the Chinese hop joints from that place. This should be done and we believe it will be

STOY FAMILY ALL
OVER THE COUNTRY
INTERESTED IN THIS SEARCH FOR
A RELIC OF REVoLUTloN-lT
SETTLES AN ESTATE.
nY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Atlantic City, N. J., Jan. is.-Members
Of the Stoy family all over the United
States, including Mayor Franklin 7. Stoy,
have been interested in finding the pos
SCISSOR OF a certain revolutionary musket,
ownership Of which may carry with 1t the
inheritance of an estate in Troy, Pa,
worth, il is said, several million dollars.
A letter received by Mayor Stoy probably
settles the question of ownership Of the
gun, Isaac Stoy OF Sherwood, Mich, stat
ing that he is its possessor.
Seventy years ago the property in ques-
ton was leased to John Stoy, the father
o,l Isaac. At that time it was found that,
inserted in the grant to the original lease,
was a clause that provided that any dis
pute in regard to the succession to the
property was to be settled by the possess
sion Of revolutionary musket, which was
minutely described and spoken OF as hav-
ing been carried by one OF the original
Stoys at the CORVALLIS surrender at
Yorktown.
The musket was to be passed to the
nearest heirs Of the holder of the lands
and was to be considered absolute proof
of the ownership. The hunt for the gun
began few years ago, and it was found
in Isaac's possession. Mayor Stoy has in
formed him Of the queer circumstances
under which the big bcquest is TO be made
and backed by the rest OF the family,
Isaac will make fight for the estate
