Niger Jim" Looks Like Man
Who Killed Deputy Sheriff
Hardy.

William Foutz. of Burkijts-
vile, this coun,y who has been
working for former Sheriff II \.
Downin, of Washington County,
went TO the Jail at Hager-towp
Tuesday to look at Niger Jim :"
who shot and killed Charles
Gray, at Weverton.
Since the killing of Gray the
negro's name has been frequently
linked with the murder of Dep
uty Sheriff Hardy by a negro one
night in October, 1905. Hardy
and several other officers were
searching a Baltimore and Ohio
train between Knoxville and
Weverton for negro suspected
Of killing Baltimore man.
FOutz, who at that time was a
brakeman on the tram on which
the negro who shot Hardy rode,
saw the shooting.
After FOutz had taken a good
look at "Nigger jim" he said that
the colored man looked like
the man who had shot Hardy,
but as the shooting had taken
place at night and over a year
ago, he could not positively say
that "Nlgger Jim" was the
person who shot Hardy"

To the Democratic Members
Of Congress.

Mr.. Bryan makes the following
valuable suggtstian to the forth
coming Congress aud it can he
taken and acted upon with most
excellent results: While We did
not secure majority in Congress
at the recent election, We made
gains enough to give Us firm
basis for our party's hope OF Sc
curing "A Democratic majority in
the Congress to be elected two
years hence. Now Is the time
to lay the foundation for success.
and there is nothing that will
contribute so much TO success
as deserving il. The House of
Representatives, has ceased TO be
a dellberatlSe body. The rules

hands. The committees ought
not to be appointed by the
Speaker; they ought to be select
ed by a caucus The members
of the committee ought to be
under obligations to their con.

second. At present they are
under obligations to the Speaker
first, to the party second and to
their constituents third. While
the Democratic party can not
make the rules Of the House until
it secures a majority OF the mem
bers, it can and should begin its
fight now. 1t has been custom
airy for the minority candidate

There Is IA long story behind
the anti japanese attitude of the

General Baughm a n S M any
Friends are Kind Indeed.

The condition of Gen. l.. Victor
Baughman. who has been very i'll
tor he past two months, has late
ly shown signs Of Improvement.
The last report yesterday was to
the effect that he had passed
restless night but was resting
quietly in the morning. During
all of the Generals sickness, his
many friends have shown their
marked interest and sympathy by
frequent inquiries aid generous
offerings of the delicacies of tn
season.
For instance Hon. Murray Van
diver sent him handsome pair Of
canvass back ducks from the flats
of Harve de Grace. Hon. George
a. Pearre, membe of Congress
from the Sixth District, sent him
several brace of quail. almost as
large as pheasantS. DIR. G. Ii.
Conley, of AdamStOwn, sent some
fine quail. aud DIR. j. w. DOwney,
of New Market, a brace of wood
cock. Mr.. j. n. Ramsburg, the
we'll known nurSeryman, sent
splendid specimen of a wild tur-
key from above Winchester. A
friend, near Weaverton. sent a
pair of bass weighing over three
pounds each, aud IA barrel of Lynn
Haven Bay oysters came with the
compliments of "a friend in Wash
ington.
1t is most gratifying indeed to
feel that one Is not out of mind in
times OF trial and sickness and if
anything could give surcease from
suffering and bring quick release,
sucn a feeling would have first
call.
TO all who have shown their
friendly interest during his ill
ness, General Baughmau extends
his grateful appreciation.

NOTE CASE DECIDED.
Jury Gives Verdict for Re-

An interesting case, removed
from the Circuit Court for Fred
erick County to Carroll County,
has been concluded. with a yer.
dict for Goodwin, Fou;z and
Hurst, receivers for the Fraternal
Association of Baltimore, for the
face of a promissory note for
5000. with interest for several
years, against John M. Dinter-
man. The case was twice tried
in Frederick County, but in each
instance the jury failed to agree.
The note was given to j. G.
Gray and by several indOrse-
ments were obtained by the Fra
ternal A association. After the
association went into liquidation
suit was brought to recover
the amount involved. The de-
PENDANT averred that he had
never signed the note, and his
wife, his brother, who is one of
the County Commissioners OF
Frederick County, and others tes-
titled that Dinterman's name, as
it appeared, was not III his hand.

The jury agreed that the note
had gotten into possession of the
Fraternal Associa ion with ut
knowledge on the part of that
organization that any defense
would be set up against its pay
ment.

These, like the subway, will be built
under municipal direction, and after 4
term OF years will revert unconditionally,
equipment and all, to the city. Plans foT
them are now ready, and before many
months it is expected that the work of
building the first OF these interborough
tunnels, which will probably be operated
in conjunction with the subway, will be
we'll under way.

ing planned to be bored many feet be-
meath the subway and the projected tuH
nels that will have ne same general di-
rection, that is, run lengthwise Of the

A quarter of billion dollars is the
enormous sum that the city expects to
spend in consunmating its share of the

the fifty million dollars spent for the

river and Manhattan Island trolley tun-
nels and in building the two skyscrapcr
terminals essential to the system, one on
the edge Of the financial d trict. the
other in the Thirty-third street shopping
center.
Twenty million dollars has already
been spent by the railroad in question.
Forty millions more is expected to see
the improvement through to the last de
tail In these millions is included the
cost OF the great terminal station to be
built in the heart OF the city. It Wi"
be one Of the largest terminals in the
world; for its site thirty city blocks were
cleared of the hotels, retail stores, man
uiactories. flats, apartment houses, priv
ate houses. Thousands OF persons were
forced to find homes and places OF bu-i-
ness elsewhere in the city. The trolley
tunnels under the East river will call for
fifteen millions.
But this is not all of the wonder OF
transportation.
