The Hope company has leased the

Was One of the Most Promi-
nent Men in the Western
Part of the County.
SERVED AS COMMISSIONER.
WAS A FIRM ADVOCATE OF ROAD
IMPROVEMENTS FUNERAL
WILL BE HELD ON WEDNES-
DAY AFTERNOON.

George w. Galloway. an aged citi
zen and business man of Milton. one
of the best known men of western
Wayne county. died about nine-thirty
o'clock this morning, after a com.
paratively short illness. Mr. Gala.
way was seventy-three years of age.
His entire life has been spent in
Wayne county, having been born in
1884. He was prominently identified
with affairs in western Wayne county
after he had gained his majority.
For twenty-six years he was drug
gist at Milton and did a flourish
ing business. Previous to that time
he taught school in the public schools
of Bentonville, Milton and Cambridge
City
Mr.. Galloway became well known
to Richmond people during his tenure
of office as county commissioner, a
position which he held for six years.
During that time ne gained the repu-
tation of giving the square deal in all
transactions. His greatest attention,
HoWtNCi was ciNth w tht ihipao'N
ment of the roads in the county. He
was firm believer that good roads
are the mediums by which the county
as whole could progress rapidly and
for this reason it is due to him, to
a great extent, that Wayne county has
the roads it has today. He thorough
ly impressed upon the minds of the
other commissioners that good roads
were needed and needed badly. He
met some opposition, however. in his
good roads policy.
For more than fifty years Mr.. Calla-
way was a Mason, and had served
several years as director on the Mil
ton school board.
The funeral will be held Wednes-
day afternoon in the Christian church
at Milton, the Revs. F.. c. Mccormick
and D. r. VanBuskirk officiating. The
Masons will have charge of the body.
Mr.. Galloway is survived by his
wife and three children, Chas. Gala
way and r. 8. Galloway of Milton.
and w. j. Galloway of Indianapolis.
1t is probable that a large number
of local people will go to Milton
Wednesday afternoon to attend the
funeral.

The Rev. Clarence M. CaSeLa-
mentS Conditions at the
Wayne County Prison.
CHANGES BADLY NEEDED.
EPILEPTIcS SHOULD BE CON-
FINED WITH HARDENED cRIMI-
NAILS.

"The Wayne county Jail is a schoo
for crime said the Rev. Clarence M
Case. Jail chaplain. to the Palladium
when speaking of Jail conditions anG
things that should be remedied. The
Rev. Mr.. Case was lamenting the fact
that insane and epileptic prisoners had
to be confined in the Jail with othe!
prisoners. when their only sin is men
tai or other disorders. These men
necessarily. by assocfating with men
who in truth are criminals, learn many
things which they should not. and were
unaware of, before they were penned
in the confines of the county Jail for
safe keeping. and then thrown in close
companionship with criminals.
The Rev Mr.. Case has been identi-
fled with the jail work for several
months and has closely studied con-
ditions which surround the jails of
Richmond. Although there are many
little things he would have changed
for the benefit of the prisoners in the
sanitary line. the chief evil which the
''jail parson' is decidedly against. is
the confinement of epileptics and in
sane persons in the Jail. He said:
The system of putting epileptics and
insane persons IN Jail ought to and must
be changed If right conditions are to
exist There are seven of these peo-
pie in the county jail at the present
time. which is very bad. Some of
these are sick men and ought to be
nursed and given proper nourishment.
Under existing circumstances, there
being no reimbursement for the sher-
iff for this extra care of the prisoners
it is impossible for him to give the in
sane and epileptics what they most
need. Unless the new epileptic VII
lage at New Castle relieves conditions
locally. and | understand that il will
not only one Wayne county man gain
ing entrance solely for the reason he
is able to work. and the Southern in
sane hospital does not reduce the East
haven district. the county should take
immediate steps to erect quarters for
these unfortunate persons that they
may have proper treatment. This
could be under the charge of the sheriff
but he should receive proper reim-
bursement for his extra effort in caring
for afflicted persons.
There is no one to blame for the
present condition of affairs. continued
Mr.. Case. The minister would have
the jail altered in one respect. and that
the lowering of windows which are
about nine feet from the floors The
high windows. he says. do not give
The prisoners proper and sufficient ven
ilation.

CONDITIONS ARE CHANGED.
Analyses of Food Samples
Have Resulted in Good.

According to H. K. Barnard. head Of
the Indiana Pure Food laboratory, the
results obtained in the analyses OF
food samples indicate greatly chang
ed condition of affairs, with reference
to the sale of impure food and drugs
in unsanitary places, in the last few
months. The percentage Of adultera-
ton has dropped perceptibly and shops
and stores are being placed in better
condition.

Forty Persons Were Drowned
Like Rats in a Trap at
Anglers, France.
AMID SHRIEKS OF TERROR.
THE ENGINE AND TWO CARS LEFT
THE TRACKS AND FELL A DIS
TANCE OF FIFTY FEET INTO
THE WATER.

| Paris, Aug. 5.-Forty lives were
snuffed out Sunday in one of the worst
railroad horrors that has occurred in
France in a long time. The engine
and two cars of passenger train went
tthpough a bridge near Anglers. France
and all on board were drowned except
the conductor and fireman. The train
was laden with picnickers and others
in search of Sunday pleasures and was
running at high rate of speed when
the disaster occurred.
AS the train was entering a bridge
over the River Loire at Les Ponies
Dece, it suddenly ran off the track. At
this point the tracks are flanked on
either side by heavy stone walls. but
the impetus of the train was so great

The engine, baggage car and one coach
crashed through the railing and into
the river below. The coupling be-
tween the first and second coaches
snapped and saved the rest of the train,
which remained on the bridge
When the train toppled over into the
river there was a shrek of terror from
the passengers. who found themselves
penned in with no chance of escape
The river at this point is quite deep
and the cars sank like lead. So sharp
was the impact of the cars when they
struck the river that the roof of the
coach was blown off. The coach then
turned over and settled in the water,

With this clue to work on, Chief Bal.

On account of the checkered career
of Carter. the police are inclined to
doubt Carter's statement that he Is on

have learned that some two or three
years ago. Carter was convicted OF q

year ago Carter was paroled.

ing the money Carter disappeared from
Reading, and judging from some notes

These notes show that Carter enlist

National guard. II has been reported
that Carter was deserter from the
regular army but the police think this
report started from the fact that no
had enlisted in the Illinois nationals
guard. One memorandum states that
he enlisted May 22. 1907. and that his
term of enlistment would not expire
until May %. 1910. The memoran-
