MAN AND WIFE MURDERED.

MAN AND WIFE MURDERED.
William Plowden Forrest, aged 90
years, and his wife, Lillian, aged 40,
were found murdered in their home,
near Oskvile, St. Marys county, Md
on lsst Saturday morning by brother
in-lsw, DR.. J. O. King, who lives in
the ueighborbood. The victims were
found in separate beds with their skulls
crushed, as if they had been struck by
some blunt instrument. So far no light
has been thrown on the identity Of the
person who committed the crime.
When Mr.. Forrest and his wife were
found 1t was evident from the conditions
surrounding the scene thst they had been
dead for about week. Joseph Forrest,
the 19.year.old son of the murdered
couple, has disappeared and search is
being made for him, but thus far has
been without result. The FORESTS were
last seen alive on Saturday, May s, when
they assisted in fighting forest fire, and
the boy was seen shortly before noon on
the same day while he was blowing in a
field near the house.
During the week several persons stop
ped st the house to call, bat there was
no response to their rsppings on the
door. On Saturday q colOred woman
went to the house to sell some eggs, but,
unable to find auy sign of life about the
place, she became alarmed snd notified
DR.. King, who, with John Davis, forced
an entrance to the house They found
Mr.. Forrest and his wife in separae e
beds on the second floor, their faces
crushed beyond recognition and their
bodies undergoing decomposition.
The old clothes oithe boy were found in
the house, and his good clothes bad been
taken away. The FORESTS were people Of
only moderate circumstances, and it is,
therefore, not thought thst robbery was
the motive. The disappearance of the
boy deepens the mystery. He is said to
have stated at one time that be was desi'
rous of going away, but that his parents
refused to permit him to do so. The boy
is known to have received large amount
of mall the majority of which was
books of the dime novel type.
Mr.. Forrest was the son OF the late
Capt. Joseph Forrest of the Confederate
army, and Henrietta PlOwden, and wai
related to soTe of the most prominent
families in southern Maryland.
Mrs. Forrest was before marriage NJ 81
Lillian NJ. Morgan, a member OF the
prominent Morgan family of Warenton,

An attack on "the methods of organ

routine of the first days session OF the
Nalionsl Association of Manufacturers,
Yesterday st the Wsldorf.A'toris, New
York.
This srraignmeut of certain phases
of labor unions, including shinR st sam
uel Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, was embodied IN n
report of the committee on industrial
education. After considerable discussion,
the report was referred TO 3 special com
committee after the convention had
gone on record as indorsing not an at
tack on organized labor per se, but "the
methods of organized labor"
The reference to Samuel GOmperS is
ss follows:
"To put organized labor in charge OF
a movement in the interest OF industrial
education and trade training would be
like putting the lamb in care of the
wolf or the chicken in care OF the hawk
Witness the efforts of Mr.. GOmpers and
his lieutensnts to secure class Legislation

 Chairman Bush of the committee appointed to make an observation survey reported a very feasible route of comparatively low grade by way of Canada bridge across Bull creek and stated that the peo- pie along the line were enthusi- astic for the road and would con tribute the right of way as well as make liberal supscriptions to the stock of the company when organ ized

Obituary.

Mrs. Lizzie Dollahite (nee Brad shawl was born in Conway, Ark, February I2, 1883, and died July IS, 1909. She is survived by a husband, two children, a mother, a half brother and an uncle and aunt. She was married in June, 1903, to Albert P. Dollahite of this city and two children were born to thethappy union. Mrs. Dollahite had not been in good health for several months, and during the last few days of her illness she suffered very much, but bore the pain we'll and as the end came near she told the friends about her if she could not get we'll she would be glad to go where rest is forever and we believe that her undying spirit has gone to abide with its Maker. A poet has said that death is only a dream. and we be- lieve it is a great reality to those who die in the Lord. It is just as natural to die as 1t is to live And may those relatives and friends who are left sorrow not as those that have no hope, but trust in the Lord and do good, and there will he a happy reunion some sweet day where parting will never come again. Her cousin,
