But it is in the question of feeding.

from the time of his birth a feed bill

SLAVE DESCENDANT
:. Irving Handy Goes to
Pennsylvania TO Defend
Negro Murderer

MEDIA. Pa. Sept. 2s.-AIoved by the
fact that the negro on trial for his life
was descended from slaves Of the old
Hardy family, in Maryland. former Con-
gresham L. Irving Handy, Of Delaware
came to court here and made a vigorous
fight for the life of Enoch Carroll, ac-
cused of numbering James woodfaulk
another negro, on the night Of July 70
Mr. Handy came to Media at his own
expense, and conducted the negro's de-
Tense gratis. He told the jury he thought
it was his duty to try to save the life Of
a boy whose ancestors had served his an
cestors as slaves before the civil war.
Carroll was found guilty Of murder in
the second degree. after the jury had be n
out the greater pant OF the night. Inas-
much as the Commonwealth pleaded for
verdict of frst-degree murder or ac-
quittal, the verdict was a strange one.
1t was guilty Of murder in the second
degree, with a recommendation to the cx-
treme mercy of the court" In considera-
ton Of the recommendation for extreme
mercy" Judge johnson was lenient, and
Carroll was sentenced TO five years in the

OPPOSED TO
SKATING RINK
Property Owners Engage
Counsel in an Effort to
Close the Place
SAY PLACE IS A NUISANCE

J. Frank Ball has been engaged by a
arge number OF property owners in the
vicinity of Eleventh and Madison streets
IN an effort to have the skating ring there
closed. The property holders have at
lached their names to an agreement to
bear their share of the costs in connec-
ton with the case. These people say that
they own over 100000 worth Of real estate
In that section Of the city. and they allege
that the value Of property is being depre-
ciated by the continuous playing Of the
loud toned organ in the rink and the dis
order in the neighborhood caused by the
amusement place.
1--WE have no privacy Of our homes, "
said one of the property owners this
morning. "The Evening Journal has been
successful in its war on other nuisances,
and we hope it will espouse the cause Of
the people in this case. Boys buy cigar
rites and soft drinks in the place. After
they drink the soft drink they break the
bottles on the pavement The patrons Of
the place occupy porches and steps. and
their noise after the rink closes is very
Objectionable. A police officer was hired
for one night. but since then there has
been no effort made to check the dlsor-

A Good Suggestion.

At least nine-tenths Of the stock Of
the public service corporations Of this
city is owned outside Of our city and
State. Robert Klenan. candidate for
the Legislature for the Third district,
favors the passage Of a law taxing
public service corporation stock, there
by compelling the nonresident stock
holders 20 pay back to US some portion
of the hundreds Of thousands OF doll
lars they take from US every year.
They have our franchises and If they
will not give us good service then we
can make them give us fair share
of the revenue we pay. 1t is a good
proposition and that alone should
nominate Mr.. Kienan over his oppon-
ent Mr.. Ellison, who is the candidate
of the corporations.
