Death Of Ransom r. Slack.

Ransom II. Slack entered into rest Mon
day evening, April 10, at the home of his
son, George H., between this village and
the Center, on the place which has long
been known as the Slack farm. Born at
Plalnfield, n. H., November 20, 1913, he
had reached the age of 81 years, months
and 20 DAYS.
lie started in business as a tin peddler
and used many times to recall instances
of trading at a single house to the amount
of nearly S75. Later he delivered goods
between Boston and Montreal, but for
the last 40 years OF his life had been a
prosperous farmer. He had resided in
Washington and Mortified, and was
living in the latter place at the time of
the Harlow bridge disaster in 1868. He
came to Randolph in 1869, aud became
one of the substantial citizens of the town.
Ten years ago he sustained bad fall.
which disabled him so much that he sent
for his son, George, who was then ticket
agent for a Western railway company, to
come home and relieve him OF the care of
the farm, which the son did.
Always Woodworking man, Mr.. Slack
accumulated a snug property, which was
divided among his children several years
ago. He was a good neighbor, a man of
his word and square in his dealings, but
considered that the best end OF trade
was the one to be sought for. He was of
Of law as well as farming matters, serving
on several occasions as juryman, lister
and administrator
He WAS thrice married, his first wife
being Miss Hannah George, by whom he
had one son, the late Royal p. Slack,
father OF Rodney and Everett Slack. His
second wife, who died very soon after
marriage, was a Miss Bohonon. For his
third wife he married Miss Lucina Banis-
ter, whose death occurred five years ago,
and to them were born seven children, OF
whom two, Mrs. r. Il. Phillips and Mrs.
+. A. Masses, are deceased. The survivors
are George III. Slack, Mrs. w. p. Flint and
Mrs. X. W. Allen of Randolph, Mrs. j. j.
Leavy and Mrs. X. p. Leach Of Marshall,
Mich. Mrs. Leavy arrived last week in re-
Spouse to news OF her fathers critical con-
dition, reaching here a few days before
his death.
Mr.. Slack was unusually strong and
active for his years, being able to assist
about the farm buildings and the chores
until early in the winter, when he began
to fan, yielding gradually to the infirmi-
ties Of old age.
The funeral service was held at o'clock
yesterday afternoon, Rev. G. W. Patterson
Of the COng'l church at the Center offici-

H. and three nephews OF the deceased.

THE GRAND JURY REPORT.

We publish in another column h
report Of the New Hanover grand jury
made last week. We wish TO call spe-
ciaI attention to one subject touched
upon and the recommendations made
thereon. This il as to the Jail and the
prisoners confined therein. One can
hardly realize that such revolving con
ditions exist in our county prison. 1t
are not bred in the apartment referred
to. Something should be done to re-
move what really must be a n to
the health of the community. These
prisoners, kept in this filthy condition,
are liable, % only to breed disease in
the building and convey it to other
prisoners, but to scatter it over the
county after their liberation. In addi
ton, it is due to the prisoners hem
selves that they should have cleaner
and more healthful quarters. Some of
them are confined for safe keeping and
not as a punishment. Surely these
should not be subjected to such treat
ment, and even those who are undergo
ing Imprisonment as punishment for
crime are not in contemplation Of the
law reduced so near the grade Of
beasts as to be herded and kept in a
condition of filth and stencil as this re-
port shows are some of the prisoners
in the Jail. Humane and sensible men
would not let their horses and cattle
live under such conditions. By all
mean let the recommendations of this
grand jury be carried out.
Whose fault it is that such condi-
ions exist we know not. 1t may be
that under existing circumstances they
cannot be improved. If that be the
case then immediate steps should be
taken to make such permanent i'm
p~rovenrents i'll the Jail as will prevent
the continuance of this horrible state
of affairs.

How Seventeen Members of q Brave
Regiment Tried TO Take Port Ar
flaIlr

In the grand assault commencing
imeut of the Japanese army was Or
dered to cross the field to the foot Of
the slope on which lay, dead and dy-
ing, many of the men Of the regiment
which had gone before. The Colonel,
T~akagagi, surveying the task set for
his regiment, sent back a report that
it was not feasible. The Brigade Gen
eral Ichinobe, replied holly that one
regiment was enough to take one bat.
terry. Takagagi stepped out of the ra-
vine, in which he had been seeking
shelter, at the head of his command.
Before, he had been marching, as COLO
nels usually do, in the rear, while his
line-oficers led the advance. Now, he
leaped forward up the slope, out in
front of his men. A dozen PAGES from
the ravine he fell with four bullets
through his breast. The lieutenant
colonel took up the lead and was shot
a few yards farther on. The majors
were wiped out. Every captain but one
went down. The last captain, Nasbi-
motto, in charge Of D Company, found
himself, at length, under the Chinese
Wall with seventeen men. Looking
down upon the shell swept plain, pro-
tected for the moment from the sharp
shooters above, with that handful Of
brave heroes, a mile and a half in ad-
Inc of the main body of the Japan
csc army, he grew giddy with the sue
cess of his attempt. Of a sudden he
concluded that he could take Port Ar
thur with his seventeen men. He start
ed in to do it. There was only the
wall ahead-the wall and a few ma
chine guns-beyond, the city itself--a
five minutes run would have brough.

and fell across this back bullet
broken. Eight of his men got over,
scaling the height beyond, called
Wangtai, or the Watch Tower, a place
to which the russian generals former
ly rode IN horseback to survey the bat
tlefeld. On this slope, for three months
in full sight of both armies, the eight
lay rotting. The Russians referred to
them as THE japanese Garrison
