We suppose ii will hurt nobody TO
let Superintendent Van Wrinkle take
credit Tor the discovery that the Cairo
division will one day be one Of the
big lines of the system. In fact if il
will hasten the event in the least, we
are perfectly willing that he should
nave the credit. But the truth Of the
matter is that the operators Of the
coal mines in Harrisburg and vicinity
deserve the credit. They have been
preaching it TO The BIG Four officials
for years and begging for more ears
aud better service but apparently with
little or no effect until now. when Su

 Representatives of the big circuses- members of the circus trust-met here and to unit agreed that free street spectacles shall be discontinued
 There is, they say, too much work at- tached to parades; too much valuable time wasted; too much money spent and exhibit.
 Moreover changes in circus parapher- nalia and In city conditions have rendered parading a difficult thing. There is much trouble in avoiding electric wires and street cars. and frequently trafie is se- Tiously impeded,

PEARL SCOTT CONVICTED
SENTENCE OF 12 YEARS IN PEN
 ITENTIARY..
Florence Leftwich, Who Was Also on Trial for the Murder of John scully, is Aquitted
 by the Jury.
Advertiser Bureau.


 Selma, Feb. IS.
 The trial of Pearl Scott and Florence I,eftwich. charged with poisoning John Scully on December 2S, 1903 was ended today when the jury returned verdict that Florence Leftwich should be acquit- ted and that Pearl Scott was guilty of murder in the second degree and should be sentenced to the penitentiary for term of twelve years.
 Pearl Scott's attorneys will probably ask Judge J. w. Mabry of the City Court of Selma for a new trial. and if the motion is refused they may appeal to the Su- preme Court.
 Clay Hillman. who was on trial with the two other women was released by order of the court last night.
 The fury returned its verdict before II O o'clock this morning. It had received the charge from Judge Mabry and retired shortly after o'clock last evening and the extended session had given rise tt much gossip. There was large crowd or spectators in the court room when the | fury entered
 ' When the verdict of guilty was pro- nounced against her Pearl Scott displayed little emotion. She was pale but she Oe- haved with admirable composure. Florence Leftwich left the court soon after her acquttal. The crime or Whicn Pearl Scou was Coii- victed occurred early on the morning of December 2s. John Seully. a locomotive engineer. in company with s. K. Reed, ? railway conductor is said to have gone to the house of Pearl Scott and there drug ged with morphine administered in beer so that he died within two hours. The circumstances attendant upon his death were of such suspicious character that Pearl Scott and Clay Hillman, who was in the house, were arrested. Later Florence Leftwich, Will S. Briggs and Floyd Woodward were arrested. The grand jury indicted Pearl Scott. Clay Hilman. Flor ence Leftwich and Will s. Briggs.
 Of these, Florence Leftwich and Clay Hillman were discharged and Pearl Scott convicted of murder fin the second degree, and Briggs Is to be tried February 9.
 Part of the evidence adduced by the State was a chemical analysis of portions of the body of Scully by State Chemist B. B. Ross who testified that he had found about three-fourths grain of nor |. l lVNhi f,, oI,
