KILLED ON THE RAIL
Struck BY B. g. Q. Freight Train
No. 81.
IS BODY CUT IN TWO
Accident Occurred This Morning
Near the opequon Bridge--Body
at Undertaken WiIen's. 4

An Italian track laborer by the
name of Mariana Lumbardo was
struck and instantly. killed just west
OF the opequon bridge about 1890
o'clock this morning by engine 2e3S
drawing westbound b. and o. fast

CINE. He was about 81 years of age
and had worked about mere for the
last six. months.
Lumbardo belonged to G. d. Hoff

GETS THE MITTEN
Reported That Miss Erkins Has Turx-
ed Down the italian Aspirant
Fov Her Hand

Rome, June 3.-Efas the Duke or
Abruazi been turned down in his quest
for the heart, hand and fortune OF
Miss Katherine Elkins? That such
is the case was reported by one of the
intimate friends OF the family.
Color is lent to the report by the
statement issued as a result of the
conference of King Victor Emmanuel,
the dukes cousin, Dowager-Queen
Marguerite and the Duke of Aosta
and the Count of Turn, brothers OF
the duke. The statement was to the
effect that the duke is to spend the
coming year with the navy and II he
then finds himself still racked by
sweet pains he shall be permitted to
marry his beautiful American enam-
orata.
The real inwardnesa of the state
ment as it comes from an inside
source, is to explain the failurue of an
EARLY marriage. resulting from Miss
Elkins' refusal of the dixie. If the lat
ter had been accepted, it is ineorceiv-
able, his friends say, that he would
submit to any such delay as he is
known to be most determined man.
Wishing to save the duke from un>
necessary embarrassment, Miss EIkins
IS reported to have agreed to this
method of letting their affair pass
out of the public mind. 1t is argued
that if Miss Ell1ins had accepted the
duke she would submit to no such
humiliating treatment as involved the
decision of the royal family which
really makes it appear that she has
nothing to say in the case.

s.s M CourtE~

There has been considerable talk
Ethe past few days of taking the con-
tested election for mayor into the
courts.
The republican executive committee

Ia speaking with Mr.. Pauiding a.
representative Of The Evening World
learned that he would make no fur
Their contest, and he authorized The

JUDGE MASON
Discusses the Corrupt Practices Law
Gives Grand Exposition Of
tba hrf

| Fairmont, June 3.--In his charge to
the grand jury, Judge Mason went
Unto the new election law. He said in
part:
| Election laws, Act Of 1908, passed at
the extra session February %, 1908
lChapter %:
The legislature Of the state at the
extra session last winter enacted a
law making some very radical changes
| In regard to offenses relating to cleo
tons. The men who depend upon the
corrupt use Of money, ballot-box stuff
| ing bribery of voters and election Of
ficers, to secure their election viii
have TO retire If this law is enforced.
and may add that this court will
| Insist on a strict and impartial en-
forcement of this law. II the courts,
| the juries, the officers of the court
and the public do their duty under
this law, we shall have fair elections
and men may be elected TO Office with
out being required to bankrupt and
disgrace themselves. The men who
depend upon corrupt practices for
fheir elections will be defeated at the
polls. This will meet the hearty app
proyal Of every good citizen. This
being a new law 1t should be prompt
~ and vigorously enforced without
giving time for a large number OF peo-
pie to become involved and the en-
forcement thereby made more diff
cult. BY overlooking some violations
and later Furnishing others the courts
will be subject to the criticism OF par
TALLY. There is no reason whatever
why any one should violate any of the
provisions Of this act, and if he does
and is not punished 1t will not be the
fault of this court.
This act became law May %. 1t
will be well for all voters, and espec-
tally candidates and officers of politi-
cal committees to become familiar
with dts provisions. Let me call your
attention to some provisions which
candidates and voters should know
time to avoid getting into trouble.
Here Judge Mason, read from the
acts. Continuing Judge Mason said:
The legislature deemed this act OF
so much importance that requires all
judges of the circuit and criminal
courts of this state to give 1t in charge
to all grand juries empanelled in their
courts.
1t will thus be seen that the legis-
lature has deemed it wise to resort
somewhat harsh and drastic measures
to eliminate evils which no good clti-
zen approves or condones. Unless re- \
strained by law lawless men will buy
their way into Office and then recoup
expenses by the corrupt use of their 4
positions. Occasionally we find men
of wealth who are willing to exchange |
their money for honors, but as rule
the man who pays more for the nomi- .
nation and election to an Office than
the salary amounts to will bear watch
ing.

Captains Charged With cowardice.

was wrecked on Coronation island
with a loss of 110 lives was uncon-
scious for an hour after he was res
cued. He charges the captains of the
tugs Kyah and Hattie Gage, who cut
loose from him, with rank cowardice
Unable to speak above whisper, Cap
tain Wagner wrote the following:
when the tugs cut the tow line we
were lying in ten fathoms of water
and for four hours hoped for help from
the tugs. We burned blue lights, but
the tugs would not come in. Had they
done so every man aboard could have
been saved. / will send both tug cap
tains to the penitenuary if possible for
their cowardice. My sounding gave
seventeen fathoms of water when /

did not blow hard until o'clock and

alongside"
The survivors of the wreck number
twenty-seven. The ship broke in three
pieces and is a complete loss.

HOW COULD BRYAN HELP
His Prescriptions For Business
Shown to Be Intellectual.

(From the Pittsburg Gazette-Times.)
We hear of workingmen saying
that this time they intend to vote
for Mr.. Bryan, because for the past
ten months we have had hard times.
But wnat good will that do? How is
a tariff for revenue, ignoring the pro-
lection plea altogether, going to open
the shops and mills? How will the
election of Senators by direct vote
start the wheels of industry? Or
the publication of campaign contri-
buttons? Or the further harassment
of the railroads? Or the reorganiza-
tion of the House, so that the Speaker
may be powerless? Why open this
country now to the markets of the
world when we have not sufficient de-
mand to consume what we ourselves
manufacture?
