PROGRESSIVE METHODS.

Some very neat work in the way Of
models and useful articles may be seen
at present in the manual training de
partment of the agricultural school
Several of the students before the close
of school completed models of dwelling
houses suitable for farmers. Before
beginning the work of constructing
them the students are required to draw
plans, under instruction of Mr.. Bonnell,
who has charge of that department
The plans are drawn on a scale, as an
architect makes his drawings, and when
the student has them correct he is
allowed to go ahead on construction
work The houses are designed for
farmers or people of moderate means
and are so arranged that later any
additions may be built with few, if any,
alterations to the original house. The
students are also taught how to figure
the amount and cost of material used
in their construction and later are
allowed to use their own ingenuity in
drawing plans and making models.
Thus when it comes to putting their
knowledge into practical use later in
life, they know how to build a neat,
well arranged house that is within their
means.
One of the boys has constructed an
incubator, having for mis- model one
that is now Matching out a brood of
choice chickens. All of the work on
it, including the tin smithing, was done
in the building. The school has ordered
a chemical balance which will be used
for experiments in the laboratory. The
same is now on the way from Germany.

BurgomasteT, will again delight
amusement lovers at the Grand opera

one of the most promising young actors
in America, who has not only given
evidence of the most unctuous humor
as a comedian but who promises to be
one of the leading stage producers of
the country. He is Oscar L. Figman,
and he has already reached the distinc-
ton of being featured" with 1.-THE
Burgomaster. He is brother of Max
Figman, stage director for Mrs. Fiske,

rather than remain In Jail until the

The shooting ARRAY has been the
chief tonic of conversation in Mar
tinsburg for the past As hours, aud no
occurrance of tecent wears has stirred
the colored people as this fatal affair.
The mystery surrounding the death of
Turner has added interest, and there
Is much speculation on the subject
OF which man killed him. Both the

a bullet from the sons revolver,

The date selected for the conven-
tion was Wednesday, May 5, and
Kevser will be the place. This il
one week later than the republican,
convention.
There WAS general discussion Of
the question OF nominee, aud many
OF the delegates were favorable to the
nomination of Dol. Stuart w. Walker,
who opposed Mr.. Dayton In the Last
election. and who WAS so handsomely
trimmed by the little man from Phil

Walker wonld positively not permits

with the nomination. as ne had

for congress In district that seems
to be solidly republican. Senator
John J. Cornwell. late candidate for
governor. was favorite of nearly
everv man present. and there seemed
to be a settled conviction that he
would be the man.
i II was said that Mr.. Uornwell would
accept the nomination IN the evsnt

One man shot through the
head and instantly killed, an
other shot through the leg near
the groin and dangerously
wounded, third shot through
the hand and slightly hurt, and
two men in jail here charged
with murder, is the net result
of a brawl between several
colored men, which occurred
just across the Cumberland
Valley railroad tracks on West
Martin street shortly after s
O'Clock Thursday night, April 6.
The dead man is Jacob Tur-
ner, a son of Uncle Jake Tur-
ner, a laborer and well known
in colored circles; the injured
men are Joseph and Charles
Cook, employed as walters on a
dining car on the Baltimore &
Ohio road.
The men charged with murder
are Attorney j. R. Clifford,
editor of the Pioneer Press, the
local organ of the negroes, and
one of the most prominent men
of his race in this section of the
state, and Paul Clifford, his son,
the local editor and foreman of
the Pioneer Press.

ford, which took place in the
street in front of the Pioneer
Press office a couple of hours be-
fore the shooting, and in which
Paul Clifford engaged as a
partisan of his younger brother
and Mrs. Cook, wife Of one of
the injured men and a cousin of
the dead man, took the part of
the young Turner boy.
The scene of the tragedy is a
point about $50 feet west o. the
railroad track in the middle of
the street ON West Martin, and
the affray was witnessed by
four or five people, nearly all
of whom gave conflicting stories
of the affair.
1t appears that young Clifford
and Mrs. Joseph Cook, wife of
the man shot through the thigh,
had a quarrel following the
scrap of the children, and that
Clifford called the woman vile
names. Mrs. Cook told her hus-
band of this, and he came down
town and got his brother, Chas.
Cook, presumably with the in
tention of hunting Clifford and
demanding an apology. Some
time after supper young Clifford
went on an errand to a point
west of the railroad tracks, and
while on the return trip he met
the Cook brothers. There is no
evidence to show that the Cooks
were at that time looking for
Clifford, but the three men stop.

he had called the woman a name

satisfied with this explanation.

order to tell her that the quar-

they met Mrs. Cook, who again

Clifford Draws Revolver.
This seemed to anger Clifford
who exclaime: "You are a d
liar! I'll kill your He reached
his hand into his hip pocket as
he spoke and partially drew a
revolver. Before he could get
the weapon out Charles Cook
struck him with his fist, yell
ling that he had a gun, and then
crippled with Clifford. The
two Cooks then yelled to each
other to take the gun from Cliff
ford, and in the scuffie Clifford
managed to first shoot Charles
Cook in the hand. The latter
was still endeavoring to loosen
Clifford's grip on the revolver,
when Clifford again pulled the
trigger, the bullet striking
Joseph Cook in the left thigh.
He fell to the ground, exclaim-
ing: 'I'm shot! Take the gun
from himw
AT this point in the affray J..
r. Clifford, father of Paul Cliff
ford and the editor of the
Pioneer Press, came running to
the scene with rifle or shot
gun in his hands, yelling;

yelled back, "Here / am; shoot

The elder man replied, "Stand

At this point the story con-
fiicts. Mrs. Jennie Cook testi-
fies that the elder Clifford drew
his gun to his shoulder and
fired three times, after the son
had fired his revolver three
times, and she also states that
Jacob Turner dropped at the
third shot of the elder Clifford
Joseph Green, the colorded
janitor at the city hall, says
that the elder man fired two or
three times. and that Turner
dropped at the third shot.

ing of himself and brother when
he ran and did not see who
killed Turner.
Turner had been standing
quietly by. about go feet dis
tant, and at no time had taken
any part in the ARRAY. He was
standing with his hands in his
pockets at the time the fatal
shot was fired, and dropped in
his tracks.
After the crowd had scatter
ed the two Cliffords went to-
ward their home, about a block
distant, and the father advised
the young man to go into hid
ing until the excitment had
subsidized. This the young man
did, the officers being unable
to locate him until about mid,
night.
Wild Excitement Prevailed.
The news of the atfray spread
like wildfire in the western end
of the city, where most of the
colored people live, and in a
few minutes hundreds of ex-
cited negroes were congregated
in that section discussing the
murder. The feeling against
Clifford ran exceedingly high,
and if he had fallen into the
hands of the colored people it is
altogether probable that he
would have been roughly
! handled.
| The first arrest made was that
of the elder Clifford, who was
brought to Justice Felker' 4
office on a warrant sworn out
by a brother of the dead man.
who charged him with the
murder. When Clifford ap.
peared before the magistrate he
declared that he had carried q
shot gun to the scene of the
fight to protect his son, and
that he had not fred a shot

ment of every one connected
with the ARRAY, all seeming to
agree upon the one point, at
least, that young Clifford was
the aggressor and had no pro
vocation for using his gun.
The young man has been await
ing trial for several days on a
charge of assault upon another
colored man, his victim having
been SO badly beaten with club
that he has been confined to his
bed since.
The elder Clifford's com
plicity in the death of Turner
will be determined when it is
positively ascertained wheather
he carried a shotgun or rife.
If he had a shotgun, he did
not kill the man. If he had a
rifle of the same calibre as the
revolver of his son (32), then it
is more than probable that his
hand sent an inofensive negro
into eternity without time to
even mutter pr aver.
