ARRESTING THE GUILTY. ONES.

The sworn officers of the law are
doing their duty in the case of the
murder of George Henderson, the
colnix;d man, who was bounded to
his death and forced across a dam,
where he was drowned. AS a re-
suit Sheriff Sedwick on last Tues
day night carried to the Jail at Luz
ray, Va, David Conner. white. He
was. later bailed in the sum OF
$500. and released from custody.
Warrants are out for Harry Key
ser. Junius Conner, Marcus Dofle-
moyer, Pearl Kite and David Cave,
all white. They have left the neigh
borhood. Efforts are still being
made to recover the coiored mans
body. The excuse given for killing
the colored man is that some coiored
man cut out the tongue of a child
twenty-five years ago and was lynch
ed for the crime.
This reminds us of the story told
on an Irishman, who &c is alleged
was-beating a Jew. whom he met
on the street. The Jew protested
that, he had done nothing. whereup-
on the Irishman declared that he
had done something-he had killed
Jesus Christ. The Jew reminded
him that Christ was killed eighteen
hundred years ago. That's moth
ing" responded the Irishman,
1--we just heard of It," and kept
on with the punishment.
These murderers at Luray. Va,
seem to have just about the
same degree of intelligence as that
particular Irishman. They will
now have an opportunity to pay
counsel fees and be marked in the
future as guilty of having human
blood ON their hands and murder
on their consciences.

SWAYNE NOT GUILTY
Florida Judge Acquitted in lmpeach-
ment Proceedings

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The senate
sitting as a court of impeachment for
the trial of Charles Swayne, district
judge for the northern district of Flor
ida. acquitted him on all of the IL
articles of impeachment brought by
the house Of representatives. On none
of the articles was there even a ma
jority for conviction, although it re-
CURED two-thirds to convict. The
closest vote was on the last article.
the contempt case of w. G. O'Neal.
where 80 senators voted guilty and AZ
not guilty, while on two articles only
10 senators voted for conviction.
The voting for the most part was on
party lines though there was not a
strict alignment on any article. At
the conclusion of tie voting the pre-
siding officer directed the secretary
to enter an acquittal upon the records
and the court then adjourned without
day. Judge Swayne was not in the
senate during the roll calls. but in the
presidents room just back of the
chamber. The result of each ballot
was sent to him by his attorney

Mrs. Chadwick in an interview de-
clared that her attorneys would apply

District Attorney Sullivan, who will

SOME TIMELY ADVICE.
Row to Avoid Pneumonia In Treatfn
Cold

Row to Avoid PneumO nIa In Treating
Cold.
A cold neglected is the first step In
acquiring an acute and dangerous pull
monary or bronchial disease, and d cold
half cured is the straight and narrow
path which leads TO pneumonia. Here
are a few cold don'ts" which every
home maker will do we'll to hang In
her medicine closet along with the di-
rections for first aid to the injured, says
the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
Don't dose yourself with quinine, an
tikamnia, phenacetin or other standard
drugs without first consulting your
family physician. Many Of these drugs
act directly on the heart and weaken
1t, so that there is not sufficient vitality
left to fight the cold.
Don't pin your faith on the remedy
which cured your next door neighbor.
He may have had a tendency to pleuri-
sy, while you may be headed for pneu-
monia.
Don't rub camphorated oil or similar
lubricants on your chest unless you
cover II over with a flannel protector.
Lubricants Of this sort open the pores
and aggravate the cold unless the az
fected part is properly covered.
Don't experiment with the cold water
cure unless you thoroughly understand
It. This is sometimes efficacious, but If
improperly administered 1t is danger
Gus.
Don't experiment with poultices IL
symptoms Of pneumonia exist. Flax
seed and bread and milk poultices
should be used only by trained nurse,
for If they are permitted to cool they
aggravate rather than relieve the dis
ease
Don't undertake the sweat process
before retiring unless you have proper
attendance. To soak the feet in hot
mustard water or to take a sitz bath
and then stop to turn out the light or
trot around the room a few moments
before getting into bed is to do more
harm than good. Have the bath right
beside the bed. the latter warm and
well supplied with blankets. Turn In
at once and cover up to the chin. Cold
sheets or a draft will more than coun-
teract tho effect OF the sweat.
If you use iodine. don't fail % have
| glycerin mixed with 1t; otherwise you
will blister the skin. II you apply a
| mustard plaster. have white OF egg or
dour mixed with II for the same rea-

KILLED BY REJECTED LOVER
Chicago Policeman Shot Heiress and
Then Committed Suicide

Chicago Policeman Shot Heiress and
Then Committed Suicide.
Chicago, Feb. 2S.-Miss Mary Cath
crime Mulve4, an heiress, was muir
dered by Daniel Herman, a policeman,
whose love she bad refused. The
crime was committed in the most
fashionable part of Michigan Boule-
ward at a time when the avenue was
filed with pedestrians and carriages.
Herman, after killing the young WON
an, escaped and committed suicide In
lodging house by shooting himself
through the brain with the same re-
volver with which he had killed Miss
Mulveil.
Herman became infatuated with the
girl through hearing her play at St
James Roman Catholic Church, where
she was organist, and he had for a
long time annoyed her with his atten.
tons, constantly urging her to marry
him. Miss Mulveil had refused him re-
peatedly, and had told several Of her
friends a short time ago that he had
threatened to kill her unless she mar
ried him. She said she feared that she
might meet Herman. who followed her
wherever she went.
Herman had been a member of the
Chicago police force for several years
acting as plain clothes" man. Fol
year he had been IN furlough.

Statistics show Il steadily continuing
increase in the consumption of alb

1892 there was an Increase OF 5000
hectoliters. From 1892 only four years
more were needed to add another So
600 liters to the consumption. A recent
experiment demonstrated that six
drops OF essence OF absinth in three
sills of water were as deadly to fish
life as six drops Of prussic acid In the

Remains of Federal Soldiers Found In
Excavations at Chattanooga, Tenn.
Chattanooga, Tenn, March LIN re-
moving hill in the eastern part Of
the city to supply earth for the ap-
proaches Of viaduct. workmen dur
ing the past two days have unearthed
20 skeletons. supposed to be the re-
mains OF federal soldiers. Brass but
tons bearing the insignia OF the Union
forces were found near the skeletons.
1t Is the general opinion that the re-
znains are those of soldiers killed in
the desperate assaults on Missionary
Ridge and who were hastily buried in
trenches, being forgotten during the
subsequent severe battles and cam
paigns in this vicinity. The indica-
lions are that more skeletons will be
removed before the work is completed.
