Ask Commissioners Attitude.

I'VE would like to know right now just
what attitude the Commissioners propose
to pursue in conducting this hearing,
counsel demanded. We have made
charges; we have practically substan-
tiated them; we have furnished names of
persons who will testify for the Commits
sioners if they care to probe further in
the Fernald matter. and. in fact, we have
done everything to aid the Commissioners
in clearing up the case. but instead of
cooperating with. us and getting at the
facts. the defense of Fernald seems to be
the point at issue"
You entirely mistaken. Commits
sioner Mcfarland replied. We want to
probe this matter to the very bottom. and
we are very grateful to you and your
clients for furnishing any and all of the
information at your disposal. but we
think that you should not take exception
to our methods of arriving at the facts
We are defending no one-we are simply
trying to get at the facts

sumed at 10 o'clock Monday morning.

Flaw in the System.

The witness was asked If such an action
on the part of Fernald would not have
aroused his suspicion. Capt. Markham
replied that it did not arouse his suspicion.
but he deemed the informal manner of
handling the bids impractcable and un-
wise and that it struck him as a fragrant
flaw in the system of the engineer de-
partment He admitted that while ii did
not arouse his suspicious he could readily
see how it would arouse a disgruntled
contractor.
MIR. Douglas then called attention to the
fact that the transaction on the part OF
Fernald occurred after the Commission
ers had been informed that Fernald need
ed watching. Capt. Markham made the
statement that Fernad reminding Gran
ford of his bid at the Union station was
simply incidental and was not prear
ranged.

about the 500 promisSory note Ferna!u

Suit over Child.

On charge of felonious entry,
George James and Otis White, OF
Little Britain, were arrested and
given hearing before Squire VIM.
Whiteside, of Tayloria, Saturday
morning. The prosecutor was DIR.
J. A. Peoples, of Kinks Mills, who,
in his information, claimed that
White and James had forced their
way into his home and taken away
his grandniece, left in his charge
by the mother, Mrs. Ida James,
who was buried Thursday. James
and his wife had not lived together
for several years; the latter making
her home with DIR: Peoples. On
Friday morning the father, with a
brother of the dead woman, it is
alleged, took the child away, hence
the arrest. The case was settled
by the defendants agreeing to re-
turn the child.-Oxford News.

DR.. William H. Wilson Poisoned.

DR.. William H. Wilson, who on
Friday evening last was poisoned
by drinking portion of bottle of
ale sent as a gift to his home, $40
North Seventh St., Philada., and
died a few minutes afterwards in
commissions of cyanide of potassium
poisoning, was known in this Sec
ton, having married some years
ago Miss Mary McDougal, of this
town, daughter of the late Samuel
McDougal. The doctor is survived
by his wife and one daughter, aged
about five years.
The poisoning was done, it is
supposed, in spirit of revenge by
some enemy of the physician, the
plot being most diabolical one.
To conceal his movements the
poisoner forged the name of the
Peter Schemm Brewing Company
letterhead, sending a typewriter
letter to notify Wilson that within
a few days he would receive
bottle of extra fine ale. The brew
|ery mentioned does not brew ale,
nor does it bottle beer. The detec.
tives have the man who printed
the letter heads.
To add to his cunning plot, the
poisoner had the bottle of poisoned
ale forwarded to the North Seventh
Street address through the regular
channels of one of the principal ex-
press companies.
DR.. Wilson drank a portion of
the ale and detecting its peculiar
flavor Immediately suspected it
contained poison. He FASTENED to
the refrigerator for some milk as an
antidOte, calling to his wife to taste
the ale but not to swallow it, and
also to save the bottle containing the
remainder of the poisoned drink,
which was done. The doctor was
soon thrown into couvulsions by
the deadly poison. He was hurried
to the hospital but died shortly
after reaching there.
Detectives are at work on the
case but have so far been unable to
run down the murderer.

Freight Train Taken Off.

The Baltimore Central road,
which has long pursued the policy
of giving its patrons south of Ok

sact business, has given another
exhibition of the sort of spirit
it has ever entertained for the
patrons of the road on this end of
the line, by taking off the Monday
freight, which will not run from
Oxford on that day in future. The
sole policy of the company appears
to be its determination to show the
public just what one horse affair
this road really is.
