NEWARK OFFICIAL SHOT.
Burglar Kills George Fisher when
He Jnterfered With Robbery.

NEWARK, \. j., jan. 2.-While at
tempting to chase two burglars away
from the rear window of store on the
ground floor of his home at 10 Con
gress street, George Fisher, city
building inspector, was fatally shot at
an early hour by one of the men. He
died six hours later.
The police of Newark could find no
trace of the robbers, and general
alarm has been sent out.
Fishers wife was awakened about
3 o'clock by noise in an adjoining
yard. She suspected that burglars
were at work, and she aroused her
husband.
Arising, Fisher went to window at
the side of the house. raised the sash,
and his wife heard him call out, What
are you doing there"
The words were followed by the re.
port of revolver, and Mrs. Fisher
rushed into the room where her hus,
band had gone She found him hang
ing unconscious over the window sill
1t was apparent that he would have
fallen from the window had he not
been caught by the old fashioned sash,
which had dropped on his back.
Mrs. Fisher drew her husband back
into the room and laid him on the
floor. The bullet had entered his eye.
The only clew to the murderer Is
that given by woman who lives in
the neighborhood. who told the police
that Immediately after the shooting
she saw two men running down La
fayette street. She said that she heard
a shot fired and had gone to window
to see who was doing the firing.
The police found that pane OF
glass had been broken out Of win
dow in the rear Of Feindt's store on
the ground floor, and the marks of a
jimmy were discovered where the bur.
glars had tried to pry off an iron bar
from the window. Fisher was forty
years old.

BENNINGTON. VT, Jan. .. Two
physicians were the principal witness
es at the trial of Alfred Mahan. charg-
ed with the murder of his four-year-
old niece. Ethel Mahan, DR.. d. Glea,
son of North Remington, who exam
ined the body of the child on the night
she was killed. testified that death was
due TO deep wound in her throat.

1880 in the evening, that he spoke to
him and that he did not answer.
Harry Goodterot testified that he
saw man near the Florence Towsley
house but was unable to identify him
Miss Florence Towsley testified that
a stranger came to her house where
she lived alone about 1880 o'clock.
When she responded to his rap and
asked him what he wanted he stated
twice that he wanted to come in. She
closed and locked the door.
Cross-examined by Mr.. Barber she
said that she did not smell Intoxicating
liquor on the man and that the con.
versation took place through a screen
door. The next witness was DR.. Gleas-
on.
This mornings session was largely
taken up with the cross examination
of Or. ID. A. Gleason in which he said
that the spot resembling blood which
he removed from the back of Alfred
Mahan's hand was about one-fourth
inch in diameter and that the spot on
the flap of his shirt was about the size
of shoe button. Alfred, the witness
said made no objections to the exam
nations, his face appeared drawn but
there was nothing about him other
than the smell of liquor to indicate
that he had been drinking. In the
opinion of the witness the black and
blue spot on the childs thigh may have
been made just previous to death or
at any time during II hours before
and the imprints of bloody fingers on
the limbs were made after the child
had been killed
Prof White of the state laboratory
was the next witness and when court
adjourned at noon DR.. II. b: Stone, the
pathologist, was being cross examined
by Mr.. Barber in relation to the black
and blue spot on the Mahan' child's
thigh, which he said was about the
size of half dollar, in his opinion,
was made within "a hours of. the
child's death and was occasioned' by a
light blow
1t is expected that Dr. David A.
Shires of Montreal, specialist in ner-
vous diseases, and a lecturer at the
medical department of the. University
of Vermont, will be one of the witness
es this afternoon. DR.. Shires was In
town last week and made an examina-
ton of the prisoner.

NO PEACE FIAT.

Another Illustration of the manner in which
desire sometimes outruns discretion is afforded
! in Mr.. Andrew Carnegies letter to Mr.. Richard
Bartholdt of the InterparliamentaryN Union
The chief object Of the union is the establish
ment Of q federation of the world" and the in
/ cident or consequent abolition of war. Univer-
| sal peace is likewise the object of Mr. Car
negies earnest desire toward the attainment OF
which he has given much thought, time and
money. In view Of this years meeting of the
union at Berlin, Mr. Carnegie turned his mind
toward the German Emperor, as he has done
before, and pictured the possibility of his being
transformed in a twinkng from war lord
into a vorld-dominating prince of peace. The
possibility and the facility of such transfer
nation seem not to be doubted by Mr.. Carnegie
nor does he question the entire practicability OF
the immediate abolition Of war and estapllsh-
ment Of universal peace. The German Emperor
has it within his power. All he has TO do,
declares Mr. Carnegie, lis TO ask Great Britain,
France and the United States TO unite with
him in declaring that the time has passed when
"any one civilized nation can be permitted tn
"break that peace in which all are so deeply
interested"
1t is an engaging proposition contamination
devoutly to be wished. But it is to be feared
that despite the authority Of Mr.. Carnegies
benevolence and indubitable sincerity the aver
age thoughtful man, mindful OF history and OF
the ways of nations in their dealings with one
another, viii regard ii as visionary beyond all
limits of practical consideration. That the four
nations mentioned could impose peace upon the
world if they united for the purpose may per-
haps be granted Their united power of army
and navy would be irresistible. But they could
thus impose peace only by the maintenance of
the ..bloated ornaments" which Mr.. Carnegie
deplores, and probably also by their occasional
use. They could keep the peace, but they would
now and then have TO fight for it; and there
would probably grow up in other lands, or
remote militant powers OF resistance and def
ance which would make the work Of these in
ternational policemen more and mo~- arduous-
unless indeed the four should establish at once
a tyranny over all lesser powers and forcibly
compel them to disbapd their armies and pre-.
vent them from creating others. a tyranny
which would net promote the spirit Of peace and
brotherhood among men.
Beyond that, however, we must doubt the
probability of such ready acquiescence In the
German Emperors proposed invitation as Mr..
Carnegie perceives. Not one of the three coun-

ANTLRRYAN BRYANITES.

Mr.. Bryan, 1t appears, does not sympathize
with the curious idea, advanced by "The New
York World" and the Hon. Richard Olney, that
voters ought to support him with zeal and de-
votion directly disproportioned to their belief in
his policies His mind is so constituted that he
cannot understand the motives Of those of his
supporters who proclaim themselves antl-Bryan
Bryanites In his view, as in that of most nor
NAL persons, there should be only Bryan Bryan
ties.
In an interview in this city yesterday the Ne
braska leader, discussing the conditions under
which recruits to party or cause are wei
coined, said:
A PARTY always welcomes the support OF those
who agree with the policy it is pursuing. 1t not
only welcomes the return of those VINO IN the
past have separated from the party, but It wei
comes those Of other parties who are Wiling 10
act with it either temporarily or permanently
Our platform will itself debar those VINO
are opposed to our policies.
SO it ought to. in world where logical mo
tiyes govern. Why should newspapers and
statesmen support q man for the Presidency
and ut the same time discredit him by saying
that they do not approve Of his policies and
hone that those policies will never be carried
into effect if he is elected? Why should they be
for him and against what he stands for! Why
should they accept Bryan and try to reject
BryaniSm?
