Some Comment on Bro. Nipple. A New
Cotton Mill for StateSViIIe. y

s atcsv.ile Landmark, September 1lth.
While the late eminently pious
Mr.. Nipple, of Philadelphia, was
refusing to read Sunday newspa-
pers and declining to have busi-
ness relations with people who
used tobacco, or drank, he was
forging other folks names to pa.
pers by means of which he stole
hundreds Of thousands of dollars,
including the money of the
church which honored and trust
ed him. The evil influence of
this hypocrite, who posed as a
saint while he lived, can hardly
be estimated. His hypoc ri y
has weakened aud destroyed the
faith of thousands in the profes-
sions of other men. It ought not
to, of course, but it has just the
same.
The Erik Company, Incorporate
ed dealers in real estate, pianos

road near Pinehurst. On this
property is the famous Indian

The meeting in tho interest of
the proposed new cotton mill,
held in the rooms of the CONNER

THE EDWARDS DEATH MYSTERY.
Evidence Seems to Implicate More
Than One Person

l. was stated in New Haven, Conn. last
night that a .22-calibre bullet was taken
fl ON the head of Charles a. Edwards, who
was mysteriously murdered at the Hitler
home in that city Wednesday morning
1t was also stated that an unexpected dis
cevery of poison in Mr.. Edwards stomach
was made yesterday by DR.. Bartlett who
has analysed the stomach's contents The
reported discovery will, it was said, have a
very important bearing on the investigat ton
and what further action may be taken by
the coroner in reaching the person respon-
sible for the death of Edwards.
According to the report of Dr. Bartlett
the autopsy revealed that the case was one
of murder and dsproved entirely the suicide
theory which had been held by some mem
bers of the Hitler family.
The bullet fractured the skull at the base
of the brain and a clotof blood was form
ed which rendered the injured man uncon-
scious Immediately. This would preclude
the possibility of Edwards disposing of the
weapon with which the shot was fired.
The autopsy disclosed that the shot might
have been fired at any time after midnight
and that the man might have lived for at
least twenty-four hours without regainng
consciousness.
1t was said that consultation was held
yesterday afternoon between States Attor-
ney William A. Williams, Coroner Mix Med
ical Examiner Bartlett, DIR. Francis Bacon
and DIR. William II. Carmalt, at which time
the disclosures relative to the condition of
Edwards stomach We're made.
Late yesterday afternoon an old-fashioned
pistol. found at the Hitler home soon after
the crime was committed, was sent by the
coroner and the detectives to local lock-
smith for examination. One chamber was
en- PITY. Last night it learned that this
gun was a Derringer and could not haze
taken the bullet found in the dead mans
head.
Contrary to the general impression, it was
said that Coroner Mix and the detectives
in the case are not working on the theory
that the murder was the work of one per-
son. 1t was believed that If two did not
participate in it more than one person was
cogEizant of it and can tell all about II. 1t
was pointed out that while the report from
.22-calibre revolver is not loud enough to
be heard a. any great distance, it scarcely
could be fired without person in an adj
Joining room hearing the noise.
Ii has also been shown that the front
door of the Hitler homestead on the night
o. the murder was bolted and locked and
that a Iatchkey could not open it without
the bolt being drawn from the inside.

Express Companies to Stop Franks

The express companies have decided to
join with the railroads in refusing to issue
passes for the carrying of business free of
charge. Announcement TO this effect was
made in New York yesterday at the office
of the Adams Express Company in the fol-
lowing statement: The action of the rail-
roads in cutting off free business has made
it practically necessary for the express
companies to do likewise. Accordingly all
the leading expresses have issued orders
that on and after January 10 they will not
carry any business free of charge as a per-
sonal courtesy to merchants or other pa
irons, or for any other reasons. They will
continue to exchange annual passes with
each other and with railroad lines

Georgia Farmers Fatally Wounded.

A shooting affray took place yesterday on
the public road near Akridge, twenty miles
northwest of Townsville. Ga, and as a re-
suit William Drew and Newton Threlkeld,
two wealthy farmers are fatally wounded.
Herbert Drew, the thirteen year-old son
of William Drew, took a prominent part In
the affair, firing the shots that struck Threl-
keld down. Young Drew tells the story of
the encounter and says that when he and
his father met Threlkeld in the road the
latter began to curse his father, and then
pulled his pistol and fired three shots into
his fathers gun and fired at Threlkeld.
Young Drew then drove twelve miles to
the nearest telephone and told the sheriff
of the affair. Threlkeld is a brother of
Drew's son-in-law. Both families are widely
connected in Thomas and Grady counties,
and further trouble is feared.

The announcement was also made Of the

general significance of both of these tran

investments, and are in pursuance of
policy of these men to place their capital
in property here of this character, as they
evidently believe in the income-producing
value of Washington real estate. IN max

Response to Criticism.

There was doubtless some criticism as to
the employees of the navy yard attending
fires, for on February u the following APP
peared in the Intellgencer:
In Justice to the members of the Navy
Yard (Anacostia) Fire Company it is deemed
important to inform the citizens that they
cannot appear with their wonted rapidity at
fires during working hours in consequence
of an order lately issued at the navy yard
that fremen employed in the yard shall not
quit work to attend fires west of the Cap
itol
THE reasons assigned for this order are
twofold: First. that there are citizens suffi-
Client west of the Capitol to protect property
from fire in that quarter, secondly, that 1t
is detrimental to the public interest TO allow
men to lose time. In perfect good feeling
to The proper authorities, the writer Will OBJ
serve that the citiZen-firemen have ever
manifested a willingness to protect public
property from fire. They lose their time In
working and their rest at midnight without
a mlrmur The number of active young
men employed in the navy yard, it is be-
lieved does not exceed forty, and the loss
to the United States could be but small in
comparison to the benefits which they might
