BUNGLING EXECUTION.
Rope Breaks and Victim Again Car
ried to Galiows.

Indiana, Pa, Aug. 28.-The first
hanging in this county for more than
twenty years took place here during
the day and was not success, as,
owing TO the breaking of the rope, the
operation had to be repeated
The victim of the law was Carmine
Renzo, aged fortyfive years and weigh
Ing IFS pounds. The weight of the
man and the drop of five feet proved
too much for the strength of the rope,
which snapped when the trap was
sprung, precipitating Reno to the
ground. The Jail attendants loosened
the rope around his neck while others
adjusted a new rope to the scaffold
and the man, already half dead, was
carried to the platform and the lever
again sprung. This time the execu-
ton was successful
The crime which RenZo expiated
was the murder of his sweetheart.
Harlan Bearno, aged fifteen, at her
home in Ernest two years ago. 1t had
been agreed that Reno should marry
the girl providing he paid the passage
of herself and parents to this country.
He did this and when the girl refused
to wed him he shot her.

question in the house Of commons, an
nounced that he proposed purchasing

tory prices, without apologizing to the
local protectionists who insist that
British firms should be given the pref
erence. irrespective of price or quail
ity The matter was brought up by
Sir Howard Vincent, Conservative and
free. trader, representing the Central
division of Sheffield, who asked for
explanations of why the war Office or
dered 100000 pairs of horseshoes in
the United States for the use of the
British cavalry instead OF supporting
British industries and workmen.
Mr.. Haldane, in ths course Of his
reply, said that the American goods
were satisfactory both as regards
price and efficiency and in the inter
ests of the economical administration
of the army he declined to disregard
this source of supply.

war, it is announced. Is being waged
against the "Black Hand Throughout,
Pennsylvania by the state constabu-
larry and the indications are that the
troops will soon rid the commonwealth
OF its murderous organizations. The

UPHOLDS HIS POSITION
Decision by Jt Pritchard in
North Carroll, Rate Case.
FEDERAL COURTS SUPREME
Deprive Them of Their Jurisdiction.
Rights of Citizens Guaranteed by
the Constitution.

AsheVille, N. c., Aug 28-Judge
Pritchard, in the United States circuit
court, in long expected opinion an
nounced during the day in the rate
case of the Southern Railway against
the corporation commission and the
attorney general of North Carolina,
upnolds the jurisdiction of his court
in the issuance of the recent injunc-
tions against officials during the rail-
road rate controversy and declares
that the suit is not one against the
state within the meaning of the elev.
enth amendment to the federal Con
stitution. That amendment holds the
judicial power of The United States
shall not extend to any suit against
state by citizens of another state

lature cannot so frame an act as to
deprive a citizen of a right youchsafed
aim by the federal Constitution 1t

priye this court of it's Jurisdiction and
itely determined the better it vii, DE
for all parties concerned"
Commission Can Fix Rates.
The decision holds that the corpora
tion commission are still charged with
making rates, the only limitation upon
their power being that they shall not
make maximum rate in North Caro-
lima in excess of PA cents per mile.
The corporation commission and the
attorney general are specially
charged with the duty of securing the
enforcement of section of the pas
senger rate act, which provides heavy
penalties and fines for a failure of
railroads and their officials to comply
with that act"
All laws in existence on the passage
of that act bearing on supervision
and control of railroads, etc, are to
be construed in connection with the
rate act.
The opinion shows that the laws OF
North Carolina especially provide
upon what terms an injunction shall
be granted to suspend rates, pending
litigation, or involving the confiscatory
nature of such rates; that the statutes
of North Carolina expressly authorize
the course pursued by the courts
when freight rates are involved, but
do not even require bond for such
Injunction when passenger fares are in
litigation.

To Mark Santa Fe Trail fn Colorado

A patriotic movement which
will find echo in the hearts of old
residents of Colorado has been
launched by the daughters of
the American Revolution, and
through their efforts Senator F.
w. Parks will introduce bill in
the legislature providing for an
appropriation to mark the origi-
nal Santa Fe trail. For months
the society has been considering
the action and has raised a neat
sum of money on its own respon-
sibility to promote the work.
Four handsome posts have al
ready been purchased.
The Santa Fe trail runs through
the historic portion of Colorado.
While dispute is bound to follow
the suggestion of marking the
trail, the concensus of opinion is
that the original line runs through
Baca county and follows the
course of the Cimarron river.
Already a movement is on foot
to mark the trail from Kansas
City through the state of Kansas.
A drinking fountain is to be e.
rected at Ninth and Main streets,
Kansas City, where the original
road once passed. The legisla-
ture of Kansas has appropriated
81, 900 to mark the trail in Kan
sas, and present plans will bring
the part Of the work that state
will do to where Baca county
touches the state line.
Another plan of the Kansas
Daughters of the American Revo-
luton is to mark a trail which
will run through the valley of the
Arkansas, but the majority favor
the more southern route as being
the original trail. Denver Post.
