the jury were amply warranted in
inflicting the death penalty. The
judgment is affirmed .

The Good Roads Movement.


The good roads movement has reached
the greatest development i'll New York
State that has ever been attempted in
the Union. a law passed by the legis-
lature appropriated $4,000, 900 for road
Improvement, which will be apportioned
among the counties III the proportion of
one dollar for each dollar raised by the
county or town for road improvement.
One of the first things to be done is to
extend Riverside Drive through to AL
bany. There are some 10000 miles of
roads i'll the State and it is the intention
of the promoters of the project to gradu-
ally improve every foot The immense
advantage to the State cannot be est
mated. 1t will increase valuations of
property beyond anything else which
could be- done. New Jersey continues
road improvement, though i'll much
smaller way. While il was the first
State to grant State aid for road i'm
provement, and has kept up the good
work for many years, il has not pro
Ceeded rs rapidly recently as other
States and is falling behind now, as
compared with the great appropriations
of the States which have come later into
the field
Massachusetts is building series of
State highways which have not been
equaled i'll the country, and the system
is growing gradually, connecting all the
larger cities and leading thence into
Boston. Vermont has begun the con-
Struction of improved highways and
New Hampshire is doing the same
thing. The principal influence in the
construction is the automobile Brick.

Two weeks ago the JOURNAL made
mention of the death of Major John
Byrne, gentleman who had grown to
national prominence and millionaire
wealth from a boyhood spent in Eckhart
and school days in FroStburg.
He had returned from meeting of
railroad men, held III Chicago, to his
home i'll New York. En- route he caught
cold which developed pneumonia, and
Tuesday night, October 81, died at the
residence of his friend, James Clarke,
Quaker Ridge Larchmont, New Jersey.
The remains We're taken to his home,
New York city, and Friday, Sd inst, to
st. Patrick's Cathedral whence the
Bishop committed them to the family
vault i'll Woodlawn cemetery.
For over 20 years Major Byrne was
identified with the railroad operations
of the late {. p Huntington. He was
president of the Pittsburg, Shawmut and
Northern Railroad Company. He was
also director of the Detroit City Gas
Company, and trustee of the Emigraut
Industrial Savings Bank of Parkers-
burg, w. Va.
In 1854 Major Byrne was appointed by
Governor HOadley, of Ohio, Flood Com
missiOner-to distribute the moneys APP
propriated by the State and contributed
by the rest of the country to relieve the
distress occasloued by the Ohio valley
flood
In 1876, after the nomination of Mr..
Bryan, Major Byrne organized the
Democratic Honest Money League of
America, and made vigorous campaign
i'll opposition to free silver.

Wan ha tr !. X nd
Sailors Families Relief Association, of
which he became president
He was bachelor and lived at 10
west 5Sth street, New York
Major Byrne was we'll known in
Catholic circles. In 1893 he gave $40 600
to the Irish fund i'll the interest of home
rule.
He was born in Cumberland in 1912,
reared in the town of Eckhart, and with
Charles H. Walker, Thomas G.. Porter
and others. attended school in Frost
burg. He is also well remembered by
the Sloan families of Homecoming.
Here he enlisted i'll the Union army,
attained the rank of Major and diStin-
guished himself as brave and skillful
officer, notably in the siege of Petersburg
At the close of war he went to Park
ersburg, w. Va; became an oil opera
tor; sold out; went to New York, where
he had since lived, excepting IL number
of years residence i'll CINCINNATI
He is remembered as Il most affable
young man. StudiouS and aspiring,
those who knew hun feel that his youth
was prophecy Of the prominence he
achieved. He was genial and jovial
socially, but i'll business strict and square
| to the last degree. He moved always in
influential circles and numbered among
his warmest friendships those of Presi-
dents Mckinley and Roosevelt

There was il report circulating early
this week that Hon. ID. +. Dick friends
in Homecoming had raised 81 900 to
prosecute Il recount of the ballots cast i'll
the last election, and another sum of
81 900 was available if necessary. All
this sounds liberal, but why can the
people ENJOY such displays of popular
concern when pHiItC interests are Sacrl-
feed: For instance suppose LOnaCOn-
ing had been situated like FrOstburg and
il Belt Line would have been worth at
least Sl21, OOO to property values III that
town, how many people would have put
themselves ont of the way to raise 81 900,
or -, 600 to compel Its town Council to
do the right thing? And how many
would have been indignant enough to
subscribe proper amounts to such
fund: OF course, these questions are
hard to answer, but they suggest that
people are about as fooli>hly generous
sentlmentally as they are unprogressive-
ly stlngy practically.
