TERRELL IS
NO BETTER
INSANE MURDERER STILL AT
EASTHAVEN
CONDITION UNCHANGED
Report That He Would Be Pardoned
is Denied by All the Officials
Who Should Know.
CONDITION UNCHANGED

John w. Terrell, the Bluffton nur-
derer. is still confined in Easthaven,
stories to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. Recently report was circulated
in Northern Indiana that the friends
of Terrell had succeeded in procur-
ing a pardon from Governor Durbin,
which would release him from the
life sentence in the penitentiary and
which had resulted in his family be-
inc enabled to have him taken from
the hospital to his home for care.
1t is possible, according TO a story
from Bluffton, that an application for
a pardon will be made, and it will
be based on the ground that Terrell
Is insane and that he must have been
insane when he committed the crime.
If pardon were granted Terrell
would not be compelled to 90 to pris-
on should he ever recover his men,
tai equilibrium.
Superintendent Smith, of the in
sane hospital contradicts the report
that Governor Durbin has given muir
derer John W. Terrell an uncondi-
, tional pardon and also the rumor that
Terrell took part in dances at the
asylum. He says Terrell s condition
is about the same as when he entered
, the institution, and that in his opin-
ion he will never become much better.
He says that the patient has never
spoken a word since he came there
, and in no way gives evidence that he
is conscious of his surroundings. No
application for pardon has yet been
made for him but steps may be taken
, if the Appellate Court refuses a new
. trial or does not reverse the appeal
, now pending.

DAVID <. GOSS
DEADIN GERMANY
A RECOGNIZED LEADING IN
sTRUCToR PASSES AWAY
TAUGHT PRIVATE SCHOOL
Former Superintendent Indianapolis
Schools-A Splendid Gentle
man-Loss Felt.
TAUGHT PRIVATE SCHOOL

indianapolis, Ind, Sept. pa ca
bIegram was received by Judge w. +.
Diyan Of Anderson, a brother of
Mrs. Goss, notifying hiAa of the
death Of David X. Goss in Strass-
burg, Germany, where Mr.. Goss con-
Quoted a private school.
For a number of years David X.
Goss had been recognized as one of
the leading instructors of the coun-
try. He was highly educated, having
graduated from Indiana University,
later pursuing work in foreign col
leees.
While he was superintendent of
the indianapolis schools Mr.. Goss
made hNnself very popular, not only
on account of his pleasant ways, but
his excellent work as well. However,
he insisted on an immense amount of
work from those employed in the
schools, and for that reason was prob
| ABLY not as popular with the teachers
las he might otherwise have been.
He was a man Of strong faith in
! his own ideas and when he had once
conceived plan would use all rea-
isonable means toward its accomplish
ment. Mr.. Gross was a firm believer
in the German pedagogical method
and it was largely for this reason
mat he established the school at
Strassburg. The school was estab-
lished for boys of the age of Is or 16
years, because the educator believed
that at that time in life boys could
best be trusted with foreign educa-
tion without the danger of losing
their traits peculiarly American.
Among Mr.. Goss's patrons in Indi-
annapolis We're d. M Parry, P. Fitz-
gerald, Clemens Vonnegut, Jr., DR.
Franklin Hayes, whose sons attended
the school, as did also the son of
Congressman Lands of Delphi.
The school at Strassburg was un-
usually successful. Every fall Mr.
Goss came to America for new pupils

Every summer he returned to Ameri
ca with them to spend a vacation. lr
the teaching Of history, which was
4 Mr.. Goss's favorite subject, the dry
facts We're livened up by excursions
TO places of historical interest al
over the continent.
Every member who attended the
| Strassburg school was a member OF
the Strassburger Ruderverein, row
ing club. The sojourn of the boys
in Germany was also taken advantage
of by Mr.. Goss in his very successful
efforts to teach the pupils the Ger
man language Besides his immedi
ate family, Mr.. Goss leaves one broth
er, Joseph H. Goss, who lives at Mar
tinsville, Ind. His father died sew
eral years ago at Gosport, Ind.

Extraordinary Arrangements.

BY reason of special arrangements
which have been perfected IL is prac-
|tically conceded in many quarters
that to and from California either
one or both ways via 1.-THE Denver
Road" will be the choice of those at
tending both the Trieonial Conclave
of the Kniphts-Templar and the
Sovereign Grand Lodge 1. o. o. +.
to be held in San Francisco during
September and on account of which
round trip tickets win be on sale
August 18th to September 10Th, in
elusive, at rate of S45 from nearly
all points in Texas aud the South
west
The choice Of the route mentioned
for these trips is largely attributable
20 the fact that it is the only line
reaching that territory from Texas
directly through panoramic New
Mexico and "Cool Colorado" pass
ing enroute and allowing stop-overs
at any of the numerous magnificent
and popular priced resorts of the
northwest, including those of Cali
fornia as well as Ogden and Salt
Lake City, Utah, in addition to
such points as Denver for Boulder
Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Trim
idad, Colorado. 1t is understood
that tickets forlthis occasion may
be secured togo via one route and
return another, and in view OF the
superior attractiveness of the routes
via the several Colorado gateways,
it may be fair to presume that APP
proximately ninety per cent of those
living in the southwest will traverse
the rails of THE Denver Road

ing Panhandle of Texas" in at
least one direction. If

The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1904-08-12

One hundred years ago, exactly
one week after his active participa-
tion in the Fourth of July celebration
In New York city. Alexander Hamil-
ton was shot in that memorable duel
with Aaron Burr. Nothing now re-
mains of the fatal field which, more
than anything else, has made the
MANS of Weehawken historic in the
annals of America.
1t was on July II, 1904, that the
two brilliant men, separated only by
the murderous distance of ten PAGES,
leveled pistols at each other, await
ing the word to fire. Only one shot
was fired by each. Burr's, aimed d.
rectly at his antagonist, inflicted a
mortal wound, while Hamilton's, as
was ascertained the day after, passed
above Burr, the bullet lodging in the
branch of small cedar tree.
DR.. David Hosack. one of New
York's most eminent physicians, at

tiser, occurs the first notice Of the
affair:
I'VE stop the press to announce the
melancholy intelligence that General
Hamilton is dead. He expired about
2:30 o'clock"
On the following day and for sever
al days thereafter the newspapers ap-
peared with wide black borders on all
of their pages. The newspapers in
this city, Boston and other cites did
the same as soon as the news was re-
ceived, for, dependent upon stage
coaches for information, many of the
outlying towns did not hear of Ham.
ilton's death until after the funeral
in New York.
The funeral was held on Saturday,
July IA. and Hamilton was buried
where his remains still lie, in Trinity
churchyard, New York. Practically
the entire city went into mourning.
Business was suspended, for days the
flags were at halfmast, and hundreds

Mai. Richard Church of Rochester.
He is a grandson of John B. Church,
to whose house the body of Hamilton
was taken from Mr.. Bayards home In
Greenwich village.
The history of the pistols is inter-
esting. Mr.. Church purchased them
in London. and it is said they were
made by a celebrated gunsmitn. W.
H. Mortimer, gunmaker to George LII.
They were used in the duel between
Aaron Burr and Mr.. Church in l79S,
and it is stated that they next inquired
in the fatal meeting between Pnlhp
H. Hamilton, the eldest son OF Alex
ander Hamilton. and George |. FAC
ker, who fought at Weehawken On
Nov. 20, 1901. young Hamilton pelns
shot in the right side and dying the
next day.
As Alexander Hamilton was the
challenged party, he had the cnolce
of weapons, and it is but natural tnat
his brother.in-law's famous pistols
were used again. After the duel they
were returned to Mr.. Church ana
have been carefully preserved IN tne
family ever since,
When the railroad was cut through
in the early seventies the last vestige
of the old dueling ground was oDilt'
Grated. A large red sandstone Doul-
der had up to that time stood near
the spot, and it was said that upon
this boulder the head Of Hamilton
rested after he was shot. This orlgl-
nal boulder may still be seen in the
little Enclosure on the high cliff, over
100 feet above the old fighting place.
Efforts have from time to time
been made to erect suitable monu-
ment near the site to Hamilton, Dut
nothing except a very modest monu-
ment stands there to-day. A small
semi.circular plat of ground has been
set apart in the locality now known
as Highwood, and which may be
reached in about ten minutes from
the ferry landing at Weehawken, ana
here is to be seen the only memorial
of the duel.
The red sandstone boulder stands
upon a granite pedestal, and the boui'
der Is surmounted by an ancient bust
Of Hamilton, done by Riordan, the
sculptor. In 1894 a number OF resi-
dents in the neighborhood had
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1904-08-12

Of citizens wore crepe for thirty days.
Services commemorative of Hamil-
ton were held all over the country.
Scores of oratioHs were delivered
upon his character, and it was truly
said that not since the death of Wash
ington had such universal mourning
been seen.
William P. Van Ness, who later be-
came judge of the Southern district
of New York, by appointment Of Pres.
ident Madison, acted as Burr's Sec
ond, and he afterward published a de-
tailed statement of the duel in which
he claimed that Hamilton fired first.
His statement was really protest
against the widespread disapproval
of Burr, amounting to ostracism.
Burr himself was amazed at the
opprobrium heaped upon him. Never
before had the popular i'll will been
so denunciatory for the surviving
duelist. Burr himself had fought a
duel on the same spot in 1899 with
John B. Church. Neither was injured,
although Burr received bullet
through his coat.
For a few days Burr continued to
go about his business in his usual
way and received his friends at his
famous home, Richmond TNll, now
totally obliterated, but which stood
for years at about the junction of
Varick and Charlton streets, New
York. Finally he left the city.
Burr was indicted for the murder
Of Hamilton, but the indictment was
quashed about three years later.
The pistols with which the fatal
duel was fought are now owned BY

was rowed at once across the river
and taken to the spacious home OF
William Bayard, in old Greenwich vii
lage, where he died about 2 o'clock
on the following day, July IL, 1904.
The prominence of the combatants
and the tragic ending of the meeting
directed public attention not only to
this duel, but to dueling in general,
as had never been done before in the
United States. The practice was
common century ago. Alexander
Hamilton's eldest son, young man
but 20 years of age, was killed upon
the same field three years before his
father received his death wound.
The pulpit and, to some extent, the
press inveighed against the custom as
unworthy of civilized community,
but 1t remained for the Burr.Hamil-
ton duel to arouse public sentiment
so strongly against this method OF
avenging insults that the practice was
never afterwards regarded in so hon
orable a light.
It is difficult to imagine at the pres
ent day the effect produced by the
duel, not only in New York city, but
throughout the entire country. Polit-
ical feeling in those years was in
tensely bitter, but Hamilton's serv-
ices for his country had been of such
recognized value that his death and
the manner of it occasioned WIDE
spread mourning. A wave OF almost
universal execration burst over Burr.
Although vice president OF the
United States, he had been out OF
favor in his own party ever since the
election of Jefferson, late in 1901.
Jefferson and Burr each received sew
enty-three ballots in the original cleo.
toral vote. For over week the
house of representatives balloted
upon the question, and Burr was &C
cused of intriguing to defeat Jeffer-
son, the logical candidate of his
party.
To repair his waning political pres
tige. Burr secured the nomination for
governor of New York in 1904. OPP
posed to him was Morgan Lewis, the
candidate of the Federalists. 1t was
bitter fight, for Burr realized that
defeat meant political extinction.
Hamilton was a strong supporter OF
Lewis, and when the latter won,
Burr, after an interchange OF letters
regarding certain statements made
by Hamilton, sent formal challenge.
The fact that the two men were to
meet on the Weehawken dueling field
was known to but few in New York.
It was about Z o'clock in the morning
of July II that the duel was fought.
and, although Hamilton was i'm
mediately brought back to New York,
the afternoon papers Of that date
make no mention Of the occurrence.
On July IL, in the Commercial Adver'
