CARL MATTHEWS KILLED
His Head Torn to Pieces by the Ac.
cidental Discharge OF Shot Gun.

One of the most deplorable accidents
chronicled in this county for many
years was the killing of Carl Mat
thews, son, of Mr.. and Mrs. Jasper N.
Matthews, Sunday morning.
Carl with Jesse Nier, son of Robert
Nier residing in the same block with
the Matthews family near Oak Hill
cemetery, took shot gun and went
out into the timber near MuckShaw,
just south of the city Sunday morning.
An hour later Jesse came running
home and informed his father that
Carl had been killed by the accidental
discharge of the gun.
Mr.. Nier became excited and told
his son that he would probably be sent
to the penitentiary for life. This
seemed to completely unnerve Jesse
and he has remained in a kind of
daz condition ever since.
Marshal CLANCY went to the spot
where'the body lay and brought it to
Undertaken Bunnell's.
The gun was breach loading shot
gun, belonging to young Matthews
and was loaded with shell. The load
had struck the boy just below the ear
and almost the entire back part Of his
head was torn to pieces.
All that young Nier would say about
the accident was that they had been
shooting chip-mucks, had sat down to
rest, that the gun was between them,
he had pipe and Carl made paper
cigarette. Carl asked for a match: he
took one from his pocket. lighted his
pipe and reached the match to Carl.
At that instant the gun was dis
charged and Carl was killed.
The story seemed unreasonable and
Coroner Kyser who had been sum-
moned from Inwood, adjourned the in
quest until o'clock Monday morning.
When he returned to conclude the
inquest he could get nothing more
definite and returned a verdict OF ac-
cidental shooting.
The boys we're close friends and al
most inseparable companions. Jesse
is at his home sick and it may be that
when he gets better and becomes
more calm, something more may be
learned.
1t is a sad accident. The father of
the boy is blind, brother 22 years
old was killed by an explosion at Fort
Wayne six months ago.
Besides the father and mother, two
brothers and two sisters are left to
mourn this sudden and untimely
death.
Deceased was between fourteen and
fifteen years of age, and Jesse Nier is
just few months older.
Funeral services we're held at the
residence at 2 O'Clock Tuesday after
noon.

Carroll D. Wright, the umpire to
whom was referred the five disputes
between the operators and miners
on the board of con-
Citation appointed under the provis-
ions of the the anthracite strike COM
mission, filed bis findings Tuesday.
On the question OF the employer s
right to discharge men for any cause
other than that of connection with a
labor union. Mr.. Wright agrees wholly
with the operators. He declares that
the right Of an employer to discharge
without giving the cause of the dis
charge is sustained by the award Of
the commission.

The indianapolis News on Saturday


The indianapolis News on Saturday
contained over four columns of irter-
views with leading bankers OF Indiana
on the Fowler currency bill, especially
the asset feature, which will without
doubt be considered at the coming ses-
sion Of congress. In view Of the
State Bankers meeting at South Bend
this week, where the bill will likely
receive additional consideration, the
discussion is timely as well as being
Of general interest and instructive.
With few exceptions Indiana bankers
are opposed TO the Fowler measure.
They think the. national bank act that
has stood forty years test is sufscient
and say ths 1'cwler bin provides for
uilccat banking Of the worst kind.

May Pardon Katz.

R.mor has it that an effort is
being put forth to secure the pardon
of Michael Katz, who is doing time
in the Eastern Penitentiary for
stealing horses. The crime was
committed on the night of Sept. 5th
last. when William Rarig's horse
was stolen from his barn at Numi-
dia. Katz plead not guilty before
the court, but the jury rendered a
verdict of guilty and he was SEN
fenced to ten years and a fine of
$500.
Abraham Berger, Katz's coad-
Jutor in crime, was sentenced to
seventeen years, and fine of $1,000,
but he has since become insane and
removed to the Danville Insane
Asylum, where he is now. The
friends of Katz claim that he was
led on to the commission of crime
by an undue influence exerted over
him by Berger and it is with this
point they propose to make inter-
cession for him when the State
Board of Pardon meets next month.

There has been some talk of max

we should take it into consideration

the value Of this road from the fact
that we have paid the Union Turn

The Republican party has been
held together during the last dozen
years " by the cohesive force of
public plumber" and the distribu-
ton of the rewards have neither
been equal nor satisfactory. That is
the cause of the decentralization
everywhere. In Philadelphia. for
example, Penrose and Durham have
been endeavoring to escape from the
mastery of Quay and the appoint
ment Of Mr. Bispham to the vacancy
on the bench was for the purpose
of che ckmating them. In Pitts
burg the Bigelows and Finn have
been caught cheating in the distri-
button Of the spoils and an ire
pressible conflict is the result. In
Harrisburg the cause Of quarrel is
The same and Quay's friends are
running Pennypacker's appointee
as an independent candidate for
Judge against man who sat in the
convention last year and voted for
Elkin.
The Democrats on the other hand
are practically free from factional
differences. There is no longer any
division among them on currency
or any other question and they are
both compact and energetic in
resistance to the spoliation which
has looted the State as no common
wealth has ever been looted during
the past half dozen years. The OBJ
vious necessity for a common de-
fense against the corruptionists has
obliterated every symptom o.
factionalism and the army of Demo
Gratis is moving forward to what
appears like certain victory in No
vember --BelletOsk Watchmaa.

AalPs Campaign Plans.

TT is absurd" said Democratic
State Chairman Hall, recently at
Harrisburg, when asked if he called
on Chauncey F. Black, at York, to
ask him to serve as chairman at
the coming state convention. Con-
tinuing, Mr.. Hall said:
Il have been east and will re-
main here few days and then go
home. l have not been to see Mr..
Black, nor do l intend to. 1t
would be presumptuous on any
body's part 10 offer to any one the
craftsmanship of the convention.
Mr.. Black is regularly elected
delegate, and doubtless would make
a good chairman, but there will be
no trouble about the election of a
chairman.
"Tbe campaign this year will be
as vigorous as we can make it.
We will endeavor to strengthen the
organization, make the majority in
Democratic counties large and try
to win back counties that are
naturally Democratic, but which
have been lost in late years by
small majorities. The state com-
mittee has paid all Of It's bills, does
not owe cent and is in good shape.
/ expect a fair-sized convention for
an off year, but I haven't the least
idea who will be placed on the
ticket.
