Big Damage Verdict Upheld.

Asheville, Dec. 23.-One
of the most interesting opin~
ions to this section Of the
State handed down today by
the Supreme Court is that of
Curtis VS.. Southern Railway,
in which the decision of the
lower court is affirmed.
This was the case in which
the widow, Mrs. B. Allen
Bryant sues the railway
company through her father,
as executor, for damages for
the death Of her husband,
who was killed in the railway
accident near Rudd two years
ago. Bryant was a travelling
salesman at the time of the
accident and had been mar
ried but a month when he
was killed. In superior court
the plaintiff won a judgment
for $4,000 and the Supreme
Court now affirms that deci'
sion.

WINTER GRIPS new ENGLAND,
Trains Stalled Wires Down and Traffic
Generally cut off by Blizzard.

Tragedy and humor came on
the wings IF the heavy snow which
covered New Englara, mos, : {
the middle Atlantic States and a
fringe of the middle West and
South. Sunday morning papers
at twilight, morning milk at sup
per time, night spent in street
cars, in trains or stations contri-
buted picturesque and amusing
scenes to soften the general tone
of such deaths as occurred.
Two peculiar tidal waves added
bizarre features. At Boston wa
ter crept into the houses. left
man and wife and child dead
ln bed, then crept away. Cellars
were flooded in New York by
wave of less gigantic proper
tions.
Trains are stalled or late
throughout the East; wires, to use
the familiar terms, are "paralyz-
ed" or "crippled" and streets are
almost impossible except where
heroic measures have been adopt
ed to clear them. The automo.
bile was rendered temporarily
useless.
The freight steamer Thurman,
going ashore on the Jersey coast,
offered an opportunity for the
always spectacular use Of the
breeches buoy by means of which
her crew was rescued.
Two men were drowned near
Seymour. Conn.,, when a trolley
car left the tracking and plunged
into the icy river. Almost every
city of consequence where the
storm reached, reports suffering
or deaths due to exposure.
New England vas hardest hit
Saturday night and Sunday, ap-
parently receiving the full ferce
of the storm which had been
working eastward.
New York City has the tremen.
dous task of street cleaning on
it's hands, and another serious
problem of transportation today.

EXPLORERS EXpEL Or. COOK.
Reject Ms Claim that He Assended Mount
kcKIsIey's Summit.

New York, Dec. 24.-The
board of governors of the
Explorers Club met today in
executive session and, stand
ing in silence, voted with
bowed heads that DR.. Fred
rick A. Cook be dropped from
the rolls of the club for
frauds practiced on it's MEM
bers and on the public.
Coming hard upon the
crushing verdict lately rem
dered by the University of
Copenhagen, the action of
the Explorers Club today is
the result Of independent in~
vestigat1ons which, in no
way, touch upon the polar
controversy and the weight
of it's disapproval thus be-
comes cumulative.
Preliminary to it's vote of
expulsion the board met to
pass upon the report of it's
committee which has been
investigating the validity of
DR.. Cooks assertion that he
reached the summit of Mount
Mckinley.
This committee, in con-,
Guiding an exhaustive report,
recommended that "Dr.
Cooks claim that he ascended
the summit Of Mount McKine
ley in 1906 be rejected by the
Explorers Club as unworthy
of credence."
The committees recom>
mendation was based on it's
finding that "Dr. Cook had
repeatedly made statements
that have not been in accord
with the facts, and that he
had entered into agreements
which he has failed to keep
and that the misstatements
and broken agreements deal
not only with the matters
pertaining to discovery, but
to ordinary financial transac-
tions, so that no credence can
be given to statements made
by him."

YIRGINIANS HANS MURDERER.
Citizens Of Hurley Deal Out Summary JUS

Hurley, Va, Dec. 26.-Fol.
lowing the killing here on
Christmas Eve Of Samuel Ba>
ker and the serious wounding
of his wife and two children
by the formers enemy, Hem
Try Pennington, a mob Of one
hundred citizens late last
night took Pennington from
an improvised jail, where he
had been incarcerated under
heavy guard, and hanged
him to a steam pipe.
Pennington, who had been
drinking, picked a quarrel
with Baker and shot him
while the latter was on his
way to a Sunday school
Christmas tree with his wife,
two children and a friend,
Wyatt Meadows. Seeing that
he had killed Baker, Pen
nington started to run away.
Mrs. Baker called after Pen>
nington and implored him to
help her take the body home.
The ruse worked and Pen>
nington went back to the
SPOT where his victim lay
dead. Bent upon avenging
the dead, Mrs. Baker grabbed
Pennington's pistol from his
pocket and shot twice at him.
Her aim was bad but she suc>
ceeded in wounding him in
the hand and thigh. Pens
nington recovered possession
Of the pistol and then shot
the woman and attempted to
kill Meadows, who was runs
ming away, it is alleged. and
the two children.

Trend Of Prices Still UpWard-A Serious
Situation.

Food prices are higher to>
day than ever before known
in this country during De-
cember and within a small
fraction of l per cent. higher
than ever known at any time,
according to Bradstreet's Re-
view for this week.
Moreover, it is stated that
the trend is still upward with
no relief in sight. A man 60
ing to a wholesale market
place to purchase one pound
each of 96 articles would now
have to pay 1912, while one
year ago the same articles
could have been purchased
for 90 cents less.
The Review states: The
trend of the data looms large
on the economic horizon and
it is one that gives employers
as we'll as employees much
concern. The situation bears
very heavily on a goodly
number of the public. and
while it is no doubt enjoyed
by the producers, it is, on the
other hand, most embarras>
sing to manufacturers as we'll
as railroad interests.
''If higher wages are grant,
ed and materials continue
higher, as seems quite likely,
there will have to be consid-
erable naneuvering to con~
serve profits.
"In any event the whole
matter compels the attention
OF thoughtful men. Indeed,
the subject must be of the
utmost Importance when the
President of the United
States takes occasion to COM
ment on it in his message to
Congress. Seldom, if ever,
has the Chief Executive of
the nation been called upon,
especially in time of peace, to
refer in a state paper to the
high cost of living"
The record for high prices
in this country was attained
in March 1907, but prices be-
gan to decrease later in that
year, and the present prices
for December are said to be Z
per cent. higher than in 1907.

zELlYA HAS MADE ESCAPE.

Nav 70 10 Belgium.

San Juan, Dol Sur, Nicaragua
Dec. 25 -Ex.Presidant Zelaya is
now in full flight. He fled from
Managua, the seat of government,
to Corintc, and left the latter
place Friday afternoon at 2 o.
clock on board the Mexican gun
boat General Guerrero for Santa
Cruise, Mexico He slipped away
very quietly.
Washington, Dec 25.-The es-
cape of Zelaya on the Mexican
gunboat and the belief that he
will make his way to Belgium,
thus escaping punishment for kill
ing Cannon and Groce, will be
discussed in the senate when con-
gress convenes after the holidays.
There is disposition to criticize
Secretary Knox for permitting
Zelaya to leave Nicaragua, if he
has made good his escape.
The United States has compro-
miz5d with Its original attitude
towards Zelaya. The news is gen.
eral today in the departments that
the government had purposely in
terposed no objection to his flight
and that this compromise was
based on the assurance from Mex
leo and Nicaragua that Zslaya
would go into perpetual exile.
This governments hope was,
when it issued its illumination
against Zelaya, that the revolu-
tionary party would obtain con-
troll of Nicaragua and of Zelaya.
Had this succeeded the United
States knows that the Estrada
party would have been as anxious
as the United States to punish
Zelaya for his crimes in the mur.
der of Cannon and Groce.
There is no intention, however,
of abandoning the revolutionary
party as long as there is a chance
of it's success ard there is no reas-
on to assume that it will not be
successful. With the question
of the punishment of Zelaya out
of the way the United States will
resume the question of the amount
of damages to be uamed for the
killing Of Cannon and Groce.
The change of front by the
state department has caused still
among members of the house
and senate, and Senator Rayne1
will bring the matter before the
senate.

THE POSTAL DEFICIT GROWS.
The Loss on Second Glass Nall and Rural
Service Very Heavy.

Washington, Dec. 26.-
Confronted with a deficit of
no, the present adj
ministration of the Postoffice
Department began it's opera
tions. This was the largest
deficit in the history of the
postal service. So long as
the deficit in the department
aggregated only a few mil>
lions Of dollars annually, Its
tie attention was paid to it;
but when, in the last few
years it leaped to upward of
$40, 100000, an6 finally, in
1909, exceeded $4,000 900.
Ordinary business prudence
suggested that the causes
be definitely located.
These are statements in the
annual report of the Postmas-
ter General Frank H. Hitch>
cock made public today.
Concerning the results of
inquiries into the deficit, the
Postmaster General said:
"Recent Investigations
have shown that the two
great sources of loss to the
postal revenues are seconds
class mail matter and rural
delivery.
"The loss on second>class
mail matter has been increas.
ing for many years, until it
now amounts to $4,000, 900.
THE loss from rural deliv>
cry, a service begun hardly a
dozen years ago and of un-
precedented gro with, reaches
as high as $2S, ,000,O
simultaneously with the
growing deficit in the postal
service, the nations income
suffered last year a serious
depletion incident to the
financial depression, Thus
it happened that the depart>
ment's drafts on the Treasury
were heaviest at a time when
the public funds we're lowest.
This has accentuated the im>
portance Of the postal deficit,
making it conspicuous among
the lossos TO; he. met bv the
Presidents plan Of reducing
expenditures in all executive
departments.
"Since the opening of the
administration the Postmas-
ter General and his assistants
have adopted measures in
conformity with the Presi-
dents policy of retrenchment,
and these measures are being
put into effect with substan>
tial results, as will be shown
in this report.
