ENGLISH SNOWMAN KILLED.
Carnival Attache was Killed While ut
at Greenville.

Greenville, Oct. 1S.-Jesse Harri-
son, motorman in the employ of
the Greenville Traction Company,
was held by the verdict Of the coro-
ner's jury at the inquest over the
dead body OF Fred Rubie, the young
Englisman who was shot at the car
nival grounds Thursday night and
instantly killed. The verdict Of the
jury was to the effect that Rubie
came to his death from wounds in
ilicted by Harrison.
Rubie's home is in England and
he was helping to support his wild
owed mother. A cablegram was
sent to his mother in England to-day
notifying her OF her sons death. Ru-
bic was a quiet, inoffensiye fellow
and his death is greatly deplored
here. 1t is said that Harrison was
intoxicated when he fred the fatal
shot. The carnival authorities will
probably bury the body here in Christ
Church cemetery, the dead young
man being Of Episcopal faith.
The matter has been reported to
the British ambassad dor in Washing
ton, and 1t is probable that the Brit
ish government will make an investi..
CATION Of the killing.

Trouble mt MytrSville.

A dispatch from MiddIetown, this coun-
ty, to the Baltimore SIN says:
"Myersville, this valley, is without a
town board at present, all officials having
resigned, even down to the lampighter.
"Some time ago Justice Joseph Wolfe
imposed fine of 81 upon Burgess Robert
j. Ridgely at the instance of Calvin Haul
yer, a youth. who had the Burgess az
rested after he had fined Hauver for yell
ing at him on the street. Last week
Burgess RidgcIy went to Justice Wolfe's
office, and after words Justice Wolfe or
dered the Burgess out Of the place, and
when he refused to go started from be-
hind his counter with IA hammer He
slipped and fell. and alleges that Burgess
Rilgrly then jumped on him and began
pounding and choking him, and that when
Mrs. Wolfe came to his assistance Bur-
CESS Ridgely seized hold of her arms.
"Justice Wolf later went to Frederick
and sWore out "A warrant for Burgess
Ridrcly's arrest. Deputy Sheriff Darncr
went to Myersvii!e and arrested Burgess
Ridgely and took him before Justice Eek
stein, at Frederick where he waived a
hearing and was held in $500 bail for
court. Justice Wolf also entered suit
against Burgess R,dgsiy for entering his
place and assallting him.
"a few weeks ago, it is alleged, Bur-
CESS Ridgely, in an effort to subdle Guy
Shank, young man who was disordrrly,
threw him down and sat on him for an
hour. This continued until Rev. Mr..
Stanton, of tn. United Brethren church,
telephoned Sheriff Myers, of Frederick,
who came out. The Burgess was dis
missed and Shank was held for court by
Justice Wolf.
CAS- result of all these troubles, the
Town Council and the lamplighter have
resigned. The Burgess, however, still
holds the fort. A new election will have
to be held"
Winter blasts, causing pneumonia, pleu
risy and consumption will soon be here.
Cure your cough now, and siren CITIZEN

DO not risk starting the winter with weak
lungs when Foley's Honey and Tar will
cure the most obstinate coughs and colds,
and prevent serious results. DR.. Jas. X.
