An inquest over the remains of Clarke
Murphy, colored, who was shot and killed
Saturday evening near Sligo, this county,
by Horace King, an eighteen-year-old COL
ored boy, was held here this afternoon
Justice Of the Peace Joseph Reading acted
as coroner and the following composed
the jury: Jacob Poss, foreman; Samuel B.
Haney, John H. Hilton, B. H. Winston,
William Poss, Lawrence Flack, Aaron
Hewitt, William P. Trail, Albert King, Jas
F. Green, C. E. Moskey and William E.
Welt Several witnesses were examined,
and the jury returned verdict finding the
accused guilty of murder. He was COM
mitted to Jail to await the action of the
November grand jury.
The testimony showed that Murphy came
out from Washington somewhat under the
influence of liquor, and upon reaching
Sligo entered Childs' store, where he be-
came profane and noisy. He was ordered
by Mr.. Childs to leave the place, but re-
fused to do so. King, who was employed
at the store, finally approached Murphy for
the purpose of putting him out, whereupon
the latter invited him outside, the two
leaving the store together. An alteration
occurred in the road in front of the store,
resulting in the shot being fred. Murphy
was soon afterward found by passerby
along the road in dying condition. A
physician was summoned and the injury
dressed, but the man expired soon after
ward.
1t was shown that when Murphy was
found King was in the store short dis
lance away and two other colored men who
were nearby when the shooting occurred
left without offering the injured man any
assistance. King claimed that he shot In
self-defense and that he did not fire until
Murphy had attacked him in the road and
was approaching him in threatening man.
ner.
Mr. Robert B. Peter, states attorney for
this county, appeared for the state and Mr.
Alexander Kilgour represented King. It is
understood an effort will be made to have
the accused released on bail by habeas cor
Eus proceedings.
Mr. Richard G. Plummer, former resi-
dent Of the vicinity of Buck Lodge, this
county died few days ago at Montevue
Hospital, Frederick, of which institution he
had been an inmate several years.
A serious fire was narrowly averted this
morning in the home OF Mr.. Ernest Lillard
of this place. The woodwork in the kitchen
caught fire from a coal oil stove and the
room was soon in flames. Neighbors re-
sponded promptly to the alarm and formed
themselves into a bucket brigade, subduing
the flames after hard fight. The kitchen
| portion of the house was badly injured, the
damage being placed Al $500.

Public Concert at Wilson College.

The Musical Department of Wilson
College gave its annual Christmas recital
in the auditorium of Thomson hall,
Chambersburg, Pa, at o'clock last
Wednesday afternoon. varied pro-
gram, drawn from both classical and
modern composers was presented. The
interest of the occasion was increased by
the fact that it placed before the public
for the first time the results of the work
of the re-organized music faculty. The
teachers of this department are very
strong, taken as they are from the best
talent in this country and Europe, con-
sisting of students from Vienna, Berlin,
Florence and the leading conservatories
here.
The music department at Wilson Col
lege is so large that it is regarded high
honor to be selected to appear in the pub
lie recitals. 1t is still greater honor to
so perform on such occasions that the
audience, by its interest and expressed
appreciation shows its marked approval.
Among others who played was Miss
Edith Hopkins, ofTionesta, a freshman in
music course, who performed an Arabes.
que by Chaminsde. Her playing called
forth very favorable comment, for the
cleanness of execution, taste, excellent
touch, and, above all, appreciation Of the
music the selection contained.

Railroad Accidents.

The casualties on American railways
for the year ending on March 5, '0i, num-
bered 81, ,937, including 1906 persons killed
and 81, ,O3l injured. These figures lead
Congressman John J. Esch to ask in the
North American Review for November
"Can this casualty list be reduced by
legislation ?"
Mr.. Esch points out that l04 trainmen
were killed and l,35S injured in coupling
and uncoupling cars in tie year ending
March 81, 1901, mainly because OF lax
compliance with the safety appli nee law
Therefore he recommends legislation ex-
tending additional protection TO all
classes of railway employees.
For example, in the last yea nine COL
lisions " ith total Of thirty-eight killed
and thrty-five injured were caused by
excessive hours OF employees on duty ;
twelve collisions were caused by the EN-
ployment OF young or inexperienced
men; twelve collisions were caused by
the misleading OF train orders by en-
gine men and conductors, and thirteen
collisions wei 9 caused by the ignoring OF
signals and disobedience of orders.
All these. Mr.. Esch believes, might
have been prevented by laws prohibiting
excessive hours on duty, prohibiting the
employment of boys, ignorant men as
operators, fagmen, engine men, or brake
men, and making the misresding or ig-
noring of orders punishable ofiense.
To prevent other accidents in which
J hundreds of passengers have lost their
lives the extension of the double track
and block system is urged, and to pro.
tect passengers in unavoidable collisions
the construction of stronger and heavier
cars is recommended Chicago Inter
Ocean.

DIR. NATHAN G. SCHAEFFER, State
Superintendent of education, in his annu-
al report for the current year, says there
has been great increase of education
along all lines in Pennsylvania during
the last decade. Agitation for increasing
the salaries of teachers is general, and
this is taken to be an encouraging sign by
DR.. Schaetfer. He suggests that the in.
crease of teachers salaries in the rural
districts, as the result of a minimum sal
ary act enacted by the last legislature,
emphssiz the need of similar increase
in the cities, where the cost of living is
much higher. The report states that the
annual appropriation to public schools
should not be reduced below S5,750,OOO,
otherwise the amount awarded TO the
several school districts must be dimin.
ished. He recommends the creation Of
an inspector of high schools clothed
with the powers of visitation.

DR.. NATHAN G. SCHAEFFER, State Su-
perintendeut of Public Instruction, con-
demns the law which allows school drsc.
tors to act as health officers when there
is no local board of health. DR.. Schaeffer
says it is mistake to mix the admins
tration of the schools with the functions
of a board of health, and funds raised by
taxation for school purposes should not
be diverted from their legitimate use.
He suggests that the law should specific
ally empower directors to haul children
to school whenever they deem it expedi-
ent to do so, to provide safe escort over
streams and along railway tracks, and in
other ways to bring the pupils to school
when the school is situated too far from
the pupils.

Iowa. "Knees and joints aching, mus

running, with alternate spells of chills
and fever. We began using Chamber

SENATOR CoLLUM, who was the author
of the Interstate Commerce law, disa-
grees with those persons who assert that
IL was never intended to give the commits
sion the power to fix rates. Asked if it
WAS the intention in the original act to
confer such power Mr.. Collum said: "Be-
yond all doubt, we did not express that
power in so many words in the law, but
there was no difference of opinion among
us. The commission, in fact. was created
for that purpose" The Chi"ago Tribune
calls attention to the fact that Thomas NJ a..
Cooley, an eminent jurist, was one of the
original members of the commission, and
he assumed that it had the power to fix
rates. The Supreme Court decided 9TH
erwise. The President merely recon-
mends a limited restoration of the origi-
nal power. The expressed astonishment
OF some persons over that recommends
ion has nothing substantial to rest on.

The decision ofthe United States Su-
preme Court that no debt created by fraud
may he discharged by proceedings in
bankruptcy will prove of great benefit.
The particular case was that ofa large loan
secured by mortgage on tim bered lands
in this Stale and New York. The land
was found to be without timber, the bor-
rover having misrepresented the facts.
He has been prevented from getting dis.
charged of his debt by bankruptcy pro-
ceedings. That will be a lesson to others
engaging in such work.

House Voted Down Proposition to Hold

Il In the Capitol.
Washington, Dec. 20.-The house Of
representatives emphatically disap-
proved the proposition to hold the in.
augural ball In the Capitol building.
The committee having the matter in
charge had substituted for the pen.
sion building. as provided for by SEN
ate resolution, the congressional II.
hrary. but Mr. Morreil, who called the
matter up. announced that the opposi-
tion to the latter building was so great
the committee had concluded to sub.
stituto the Capitol building.
Tho storm Of protests came from
both sides of the chamber The reso
lntion Offered by Mr.. Morrell was
voted down. the result being to delay
action until the next District of Col
umhia day in January.
The house also voted down a reso
luton by Mr.. Lacey making the bill
to restore three midshipmen, John
Henry Lofand. Earl Warden Chaffee
and Joseph Drummond Little, mem.
bers of the first class, United States
naval academy, who We're dismissed
for hazing. a special order after Jan. s.
Mr. Lacey sought to pass the reso-
lntlon under suspension Of the rules
and Messrs. Mann. Fitzgerald and
Williams contended that the case Of
these midshipmen could not be given
preference when there were so many
matters Of vast public Importance
which could not get time for consider
alton.
The practice of hazing was severely
condemned by Mr. Payne. who said It
was neither manly nor decent. The
hill h had hoped. was finally put to
rest at the last session.
