MEMORIAL TO JOSEPH Train
Movement ON Foot fin Scotland 10
Remember life of the Well
Known Antiquary.

LONDON, oct. 12,-(SpeeiaL) )-There is
a movement in Scotland for the erection of
a memorial In Newton-Stewart to Joseph
Train, the antiquary. Trains chief claim
to fame rests on his association with SIR
Walter Scott. He was born in Ayrshire
and from 1913 to 1890 was engaged as a
surveyor Of excise at Newton-stewart.
There he gathered together a great num-
Der OF Galloway stories, legends and ira
ditions, which he placed from time to time
at the disposal OF the wizard Of the north.
who used them In some OF his poems and
novels. The acquaintance of the two was
due In the first instance to an act OF kind
ness on the part OF Scott At Ballantraes
printing works Scott happened to see some
Of the proof sheets OF volume of poetry
Train was publishing.
Scott not only commended the poems
but wrote to the author asking him to
place his name on the subscription list for
copies. Thereafter a correspondence was
begun which continued for many years
indeed almost till Scott's death. Sir Wal
ter made generous acknowledgement OF
his indebtedness to Train and urged the
latter TO publish a collection OF stories
himself But the antquary was a Scott
worshiper, and preferred to give him all
the legendary and traditional material he
gathered. Portions OF Guy Mannering"
and "Old Mortality are directly traceable
to assistance received from Train. and the
same may be said in a lesser degree Of
some of the other novels. Train also pre-
sented Scott with a number of articles OF
antiquarian interest, including the Wallace
Chair"
Joseph Train published two volumes of
poems a we'll known History OF the Isle
OF Man" and a work on that peculiar
sect. THE Buehanites." He intended 10
publish history OF Galloway. and was
engaged in the preparation OF the ma
terial when his communication with Scott
began.

JOSEPH WOOD A DEGENERATE
sixteen-Year-Old New Jersey MUIR
derer COnfesseH because He
Wanted to sleep.

CAMDEN, N. j., oct. 12.-Seemingly as
devoid OF moral perception as was Jesse
Pomeroy, when he murdered Katie Curran
in 1874, Joseph Wood. the 16-year-old slayer
of Ethel Nevin. 9 years old. is to be made
the subject of a quick indictment for
murder by the grand jury today As the
boy has confessed his guilt, the only ques-
tion to be determined is what his punish
ment shall be. 1t is likely that an early
date will be set for the trial.
Young Woods confession marks him as
one of those abnormalities that set the
milestones in the record of Juvenile crime.
Sixteen years old. with a mop OF unkempt
tow-colored hair. his small face and
wizened features, the boy has evinced
not the slightest indication that he has
any idea Of the enormity OF his deed. He
confessed because he was sleepy and
wanted to go to bed to get his feet warm.
After telling a story that drove chllls
through the policemen. Wood slept like
the child mat he is in stature.
To the authorities the Wood boy presents
a problem. It is generally conceded that
morally he is too deficient to deserve
death and too dangerous TO be at large.
He probably will be found guilty Of the
murder and then imprisoned for a long
term of years.

EFFECT OF BISHOPS LEAVE
Poor Curate Nearly StarSes Until
He Can Secure His Pay
Legally.

LONDON, Oct. 12.-(Special)-In conse-
auence of the visit of the bishop OF London
to America a young Church OF England
curate in London has come near starving
to death. II was not the good bishop $
fault, still less was It the unfortunate
curate's fault. It was the fault of the
Church Of England red tape.
The curate in question was assistant to
a vicar in one of the poorer London
parishes. Curates in England are paid by
their Wears, while the Wears are paid by
the church. There are-vicars- who draw
big salaries and pay their curates very
small salaries and take life easy while
their curates do all the work. A Church
of England vicar cannot be deprived OF
his living for a little thing like that.
When a vicar dies the pay OF the curate
stops until the bishop OF the diocese ap-
points a new vicar. few days after the
bishop of London started for America the
vicar of the curate this story is about
died. Consequently the curate's pay
stopped Immediately He had no prospect
of getting any more pay until another
vicar was appointed. And that appoint
ment could not be made until the bishop
returned from America.
The curate's salary was such small one
that Il lust sufficed to keep him going.
He had nothing saved UP. In word he
was dead broke. Starvation stared him
in the face. He appealed to the eeciesi-
astical commissioners; most of them were
away on their vacations. He received a
formal reply stating that they would surely
be back before Christmas. and the matter
would then be placed before full board
| meeting, as was the rule with all such
| applications. He wrote a more urgent
letter. In response he was asked for more
particulars. He forwarded the particulars.
Then he got another letter demanding proof
OF his BIRTH his appointment and his exist
! ence. =
| The correspondence grew but the curate s
weight steadily decreased About this
time the workhouse began 10 loom large
\ I'm his thoughts. Finally when he had
about abandoned hope the ecclesiastical

grant The exact amount Of the grant Is
! not known. but it is said to be so small
that the young curate spends most OF his
spare time praying for the return OF the

He is being given careful medical atten-

He has suffered terribly from cold and
exposure in addition to battling Of the
waves.
Two bodies also have washed ashore at
Deer Park. The Cypress Is a new boat,
40 feet long, with a capacity Of 400 tons.
1t is believed here that the machinery
OF the Cypress must have met with an ac-
cident, as the northwest storm last night
was not severe enough to wreck such a
strong ship.
No details will be received here until the
second mate revives sufficiently from his
terrible experience to talk
A careful patrol Of the beach is being
made by the life saving crew.
A bul etin from the Deer Park station says
the Cypress foundered Friday evening at
7:45 O'Clock eighteen miles north Of the sta
tion and that the two dead bodies washed
ashore were those of the first mate and
watchman.
CLEVELAND. Oct. 12-The Cypress left

falo. The officials OF the Lacawanna Trans
portation company have received no details
