Another Gold Blooded Murder at Mt
Washington.--George Washington Queen,
colored, killed his wife, Christina Queen, cook
at the home of Mr.. w. Murray Stirling, Dixon
Park, Mount Washington, last Sunday morn
ing by firing two shots into her breast from q
revolver. Then he ran from the kitchen across
the lawns of adjacent houses to the home Of
Mr.. John w. Mealy, where he fired two shots
at Walter Watson, colored in an effort TO Kill
him. The first bullet missed Watson entirely,
but the second passed through his right arm
below the elbow.
Watson was preparing breakfast at the Msaly
home when Queen approached the kitchen
door with the still smoking revolver, crying
out: II am going to kill you |" Watson gave
a yell and dropped to the floor, and then gain
out into the hall and then into the parlor,
where he took refuge behind piano. Queen
also tried to take his own life, but his nerve
failed him.
Mr.. Mealy and his son, Mr.. Edward Mealy,
were sitting on the front porch and hearing
the reports from the revolver rushed into the
house. Queen raised his revolver as ifto shoot,
but noticing who it was, lowered it. Taking
it by its muzzle he handed it to Mr.. Mealy,
and exclaimed: II have killed my wife and
Walter Watson. Walter ran after my wife. ]
want to be arrested"
Queen was a little later taken in custody. A
jury ofinquest, summoned by Justice Murphy,
rendered verdict that the woman came to her
death from pistol shots fired by her husband.
In making statement before the jury Queen
said that he had been married since last Decem
Der and ever since that time his wife had been
taking up with other men and that she had
once said that she would poison him. The
couple had been living apart.
Queen bears very bad reputation about Mt.
Washington and was regarded by those who
knew him best as dangerous man. He had
evidently carefully planned the killing Of his
wife and Watson.

Stockholders Must Make Up Deficiency.
The following is copy OF letter sent last
week to the stockholders of the Canton Ma
tional Bank:
"At meeting of the stockholders held this
date July II, 1900, at which ia shares were
represented a resolution was passed making an
assessment of 100 per cent. on the capital stock
of the bank 20 per cent of which is payable
on or before Thursday, July %, and the bal
ance of so per cent. on or before September l,
1909. The resolution provides for discount
of 5 per cent. per annum on all payments prior
to the date of maturity"
This letter was sent out by the bank to all
the shareholders of that institution and was
signed by the cashier, MIR. u. Roland Bramble.
1t is virtually the result of the ENLIGHTENMENT
of funds of the bank by John W. II. Geiger,
the former cashier, who committed suicide at
his residence in Baltimore some time ago.
At the time the embezzlement became known
the United States Comptroller OF Currency al
lowed the directors of the bank to become per-
sonal security for the amount of money de-
faulted with the proviso that as soon as the
real amount of the missing funds should be
ascertained there should be some action on the
part OF the shareholders to cover the amount.
| It has now been found according to the state
| ment of Mr.. William Penrose, attorney OF the
| bank, that the loss of the bank amounts 20
S146,000 and for the purpose OF covering TINS
the request above mentioned has been made.
Ex-MILLIoNAIRE SMELL, late of Clinton, ILL.,,
once said; "a man should get all he can and
keep all he gets" but the next week he sent
the price of a sealskin sacque to woman who
| called him darling" These two facts, taken
in connection, ought to be enough to break
] his will on the ground of unsound mind.

that have entered into its execu-
ton, by reason of the fact that
it was performed in the main by
the Assistant Commissioner, q.
gentleman whose yearso of unsel
ish and poorly-paid labor have,
indeed, been justly recognized
by his promotion to the head OF
the Department, but to the value
of whose work and the high quail
ity of whose faithfulness in the
public service it is at once a duty
and a pleasure for me to here
bear testimony"
Continuing, the Commissioner
says of an added duty imposed
upon the Department eight years
ago:
THE specific work of the De-
partment, under the Act of 1901
of exercising a general supervis-
ion of the performance of the
State printing has been capably
performed under the direction of
the Commissioner-elect. Since
the act was passed. the growth
of the several State departments
has resulted in an increase in the
volume of printing of at least
lone hundred per cent. The duty
of scrutinizing every bill for
printing, of directing and auth
orizing the purchase of the thous-
ands of d~ollars'worth Of stock and
of constantly guarding the inter
ests of the State in the perform
ance Ola contract Of great mag
nitude and greater technically
and detail requires not only the
most unfailing and skillful super
vision, but has resulted in the
undoubted saving annually to
the State of at least twice the
cost of the maintenance Of the
Department. The Importance OF
these duties cannot be over-esti'
mated. The States printing
hill, while proportionately a small
ttper cent of the increased cost Of
administration, is a large anC
growing item of expense. A lit
tie waste, a slight relaxation
from strict economical methods;
) would result in the most serious
loss. Yet the printing done fol
! the State is now admittedly mo-
, only of a higher quality thar
ever before, but is done at great
{ ly reduced cost"
J He, ALSO, recommended tha
! the salary of the COMMISSIONS
t be increased to So, 500 and tina
the Department be given an ade
quate appropriation to carry on
more fully the purposes fo
, which it was established.
