A WOMAN,s CHARGE.

the accusation made by Miss Mary

DonneIly was matron in the Queens
county jail up to three years ago when
she was removed for failure to obey
the regulations. She claims that her
discharge resulted when she tried TO
protect the women prisoners under her
charge. Reformation was impossible
for any girl, after she had spent one
night in the Queens county Jail, " said
Miss Donnelly. 1T wasn't a jail at
all, it was dive. Not only did Off
Gals OF the prison degrade the women
prisoners, but they put the poor crea-
lures at the disposal Of male prisoners
and the men OF the town. One girl
told me she had been bad girl when
brought there, but she had never
known there was SO much wickedness
in the world as she had seen there. J"

MURDER IN WASHINGTON
COUNTY.

News reached Roanoke yesterday OF
a murder committed near Alvarado, Il
small place in Washington county.
Hadley Lockhart, young man resld-
ing in Russell county, was instantly
killed and his brother, Leonard, was
shot in the arm. James Rosenbalm, a
brother-in-law of the men, did the
shooting.
The trouble arose over trade between
the Lockhart brothers and Rosenbalm.
A mule was traded by the latter to the
Lockhart boys for an interest in some
land in Russell county, and ut the time
of the tragedy the mule was still in
Rosenbalm's possession. TheLockharts
became dissatisfied with the terms OF
the trade and went to Rosenbalm's
home and took the mule away. Rosen-
balm followed them and shot Hadley
Lockhart through the heart and the
younger brother in the arm. He then
escaped.

A COMMITTEES OF the Episcopal Church
has recommended that the splendid old
missionary hymn, From Green'and's
Icy Mountains" be dropped from Il
mission hymnal to be submitted to the
general convention of that church at its
meeting 10 Cincinnati next month. The
committee objects to the hymn because
1T emphasizes natural rather than re-
yealed religion, apostrophizing mount
aims and winds and waters" This
may be very satisfactory reason to
the committee, but it will not lessen
the love of the people for the inspiring
hymn that has been an inspiration to
millions since it was written by Bishop
Heber ninety years ago. We agree with
the Shepherdstown Register which says:
Fortunately this ultra-reiined commit
tee is not liable to have its way, for
vigorous protest against its recommen-
dation is being voiced all over the
country, and the hymn will probably
be retained in the hymnal.
