soIvina the Servant Problem.
From the Washington Evening star.

From the Washington Evening Star.
There ls one woman in Washington
who recently tried n home made plan
for solving the vexatious servant prob
lem. She resides In the eastern Gee
ton ~ the city. and makes no secret
OF her method OF dealing with her help.
About four weeks ago she hired n coll
orcd girl az maid OF all work She
agreed To- pay IN. ginrl tho wages de-
mandcd. but made these cxactions:
Il have a system OF fines and forfeit
urcs." said the lady TO the girl. that
you H,;ist agree to abide By before you
can 40 To work. and you must sign your
name To tho conditions ] arm going To
impose upon you. The first Is that !
will deduct from your pay the ncccs-
sary amounts for being tardy In COM
Ing To your work or for overstaying
your time when you are sent ON an
errand. Then for neglect % your du-
ties there will be other forfeitures OF
money from your pay. and last. but not
least you viii have to pay full value
for every article % china or otherwise
that you destroy or inJurc."
The colorcd girl reluctantly consented
to the terms and went TO work. When
the end Of the month came the servant
informed the mistress that she could
not work for her any longer. nv shc
was too Strlct ana eNaCtinK. ConClud-
Ing By asking for her pay.
The employer drew from the folds OF
her wrapper n roll OF paper nearly n
yard In length. on which were written
many figures and notes Of explanation
After adding the long rows OF figures
she turned To the servant and said:
Let's sec. Nioletta: you were TO re-
ceivc sic a month. My records show
that ! have fined you $3.50 for being
late and overstaying your time while
on errands. Then for dishes broken and
furniture SCARED by your carelessness

This makes n total OF SiO75. So you
sec. Nioletta. you are In my debt TO the
sum OF IS cents. which you can pay
whenever you have the money to
spare"
The dazed girl staggered out OF the
room. But she bIded her time. She
thought the matter over seriously. and
several davs later. when her former
employer was holding her afternoon
tea and entertaining some OF her
friends, the colorad girl rushed Into

A Horrible Murder.
Fred DOss' Throat Cut From Ear to
Ear by Frank Clark

Fred Doss. the Ohio river ferry
man at this place. had his throat
out from ear to ear last Friday
afternoon, by Frank CLARK. The
horrible affair took place at the fer.
ryboat on the Ohio side. The
trouble grew out of the fact that
DOSE was too intimate with CIark's
wife. The fireman and engineer
on the ferryboat saw most of the
affair bat it was done 30 quickly
they had no chance to interfere to
prevent it. Doss was at work at
the apron of the boat that is LET
down for teams to drive on, tight
ening bolts when Clark walked
down the bank with both hands in
his pockets. and when he got near
asked Doss what he meant by run
ming after his wife. Doss denied
that be had and, as CLARK came
closer. threw a monkey wrench at
him which missed CLARK. They
then olinched and CLARK having
the open knife. (a large bladed one,
just bought that day. threw his
arm around Doss and stabbed him
twice in the neck, serving the Jug
ular vein. He then let go of him
and went up the hill and made
good his escape and he has never
been seen since. Dose was assist.
ed on the ferryboat and died be-
fore they could get to this side of
the river, where they could call a
surgeon or notify the authorities

Clark is a heavy set, dark com.
pleOted man. The officers from
this county and from Gallia made
an effort to catch CLARK as soon as
they learned of the affair, but he
had too much of start and got
away.

and two passengers were injured.
When it was seen that collision
was unavoidable. both engineers
jumped, and landed in the creek,
some % feet below and were only
scratched.
The two engines were looked to-
gether on the bridge. and wonder
full as it may seem, not a car on
either train was deraiIed. 1t was a
severe test on the bridge, but it
Withstood the strain all right.
The canse of the accident was a
mistake in orders, but whether
made in sending by the dispatcher
or by the receiving operator is to
be ascertalned.
Orders were issued, it il said, to
the southbound train to meet one
northbound at Proctor and the
other at Foster. The order de-
ivered to the engineer of the
southbound did not contain the
name of Foster, le4ving it that his
meeting point for both northbound
trains would be at Proctor, and the
engineer was driving ahead at full
speed to make Proctor, as as he
rounded the curve at Woodland he
saw the other train coming on at
fhirty-five miles an hour. There
was no time to stop and q collision
was inevitable AS the screeching
locomotives struck they drove into
each other almost half way and
were fastened as with a vice. The
poor 6remen who were feeding the
furnaces were both killed.
Passengers were shaken up and
tossed about like rubber balls, and
many were injured, some bad.
ly. but not seriously. Through
both trains sticking TO the rails a
terrible disaster was avoided
Had the oars gone through the
bridge into the bed ofthe creek a
frightfuI casualty list would have
followed.
