KILLED BYH HER UNCLE.

Miss Viola Poole, aged eighteen
years, formerly of Fauquier county,
died in Baltimore last night in St.
Luke's Hospital, after being shot twice
through the abdomen by her uncle,
Peyton E. Poole, who insisted that his
niece marry him. The shooting oc-
CURED six weeks ago, and since that
time Poole has been locked up in the
Baltimore jail awaiting the result Of his
niece's injuries. The young woman
died while offering prayer.
Miss Poole came to Baltimore about
six months ago and lived with Mrs.
Ella Huritt, 2025 Huntington Avenue.
Three days before the young woman
was shot, her uncle came to this city
from western Maryland and took up
his residence near the home OF his
niece. He paid her number OF visits
and demanded that she marry him.
The young woman refused, and on
September / he shot her twice through
the abdomen. She ran from the house
and he emptied one pistol at her and
drew another. He saved one shot and,
returning to the house where his niece
lived, he fired the bullet into his head.
Both Poole and his niece were taken
to st. Luke's Hospital, and after re-
covering Poole was taken TO jail. In
giving her dying deposition, Miss
Poole said:
My uncle, Peyton E. Poole, came
to The house where l have been
stopping and asked me to marry him.
This time / told him that it was inn
possible to do so. He was angry. He
came again to see me and asked me
to marry him, and when l told him no
he was SO incensed that he pulled a
knife out OF his pocket and said he
would kill me il did not marry him.
Il asked him to give me until the
next day, telling him | would give him
my answer. l was in the kitchen when
my uncle came in, and there was no
one there. Before l could explain he
pulled q revolver from his pocket and
shot at me. / ran to the street, and he
followed, firing several shots. | do not
want to die, and cannot see why my
uncle should do such deed.

UNCLE Sam is SO constantly busy
welcoming new citizens at his front
door that he seems to be overlook
ing the wholesale departure Of ma
tive sons over the back fence. The
Philippines during the past ten
years have lured away at least Io,-
600 Americans and fully one.third
of them have settled down in those
islands and will probably end their
days there. Probably FIVE times
that number have moved over the
border into Mexico, for in the city
Of Mexico alone there is perma-
nent American colony of about
5000 persons. Thousands have
settled in other Latin American
countries while the emigration from
the United States into Canada is
increasing each year. During the
year 1909 more than 90, 900 Ameri-
cans crossed into Canada, not to
look at the scenery but to settle in
that country. These pilgrims car
ried all their belongings with them
and most of them bought land.
According to the Canadian immi-
grafton returns they were citizens
Of the most desirable type and the
average amount of money that each
carried was 81 900. That is to say,
these Immigrants withdrew from
the United States in one year $oo,-
900, 900. So far Americans have
bought nearly $500, 900 acres of
land in the Dominion and have ad-
ded half a million acres to the an.
nual acreage of the Canadian wheat
crop. Indeed, the whole of the
Canadian northwest is becoming
an American colony. 1t is MT in
conceivable that before many years
an American born Canadian may
be writing official messages to the
parliament at Ottawa.

FIFTY American colleges have
voted for the retention of football
as a college sport with the elimina-
tion of pass plays and other dan
gerous features of the game. The
rules committee will undoubtedly
recognize this expression as the
consensus Of the best college opin-
ion in the country, and will recog-
nize it as duty imposed on them
to make such amendments to the
rules of play as we'll as render the
game less dangerous and make it
acceptable to the public. Reform
in the rules must be actual not
nominal. Amendments must be
effective and the public. who are
the real hackers, should continue
their activity in the reform. No
rules will be effective that do not
have the public strongly in SYM

More Railroad TAX.

From sources of known reliability
the Globe Silver belt has obtained the
information that the Globe Durango
railroad is certainty and that before
this time next year the grading work
will practically be completed and the
steel gang well on its way.
When Colonel Randolph was given
the data covering the new route he was
very enthusiastic and announced that
II the report was verified by compe-
tent engineer that work OH the survey
would be Immediately started aud the
new road rushed to early completion.
One of the best engineers in the employ
of the company was assigned to make
ali investigation several weeks ago.
This officer went over the proposed
route, and not only verified the original
report, but added to its attractiveness
for railroad building. On the strength
of the engineers report corps Of sur
veyors was ordered to Globe and head
quarters have since been established in
that city. The actual survey il now
being made and with its completion
and approval construction work will be
commenced. The new route passes
through territory wonderously rich
in mineral and timber, with amazing
agricultural and fruit possibilities
There are tremendous beds of iron ore
within short distance of Globe, some
of the greatest deposits of copper ever
discovered, rich gold and silver lodges
and great beds of bituminous coal.
There are no heavy grades and bu t
little tunneling and bridge building.
Almost simultaneously with the con-
tirnation of the Southern Pacific in
tention to build this line comes a report
from Denver that the Espee interests
and the Gould lines have reached q
joint traffic agreement and as a result
of this understanding the Rio Grande
running into Durango, now narrow
gauge, is to he standardized, and will
connect with the standard gauge. line
at Salida, Colorado. The work of
broadening the gauge Of the Rio Grande
Is now In progress. 1t will he COM
pIeted by the time the new Durango
line is finished. and then the Southern
Pacific will have a through line to the
Atlantic seaboard, connecting with the
Union Pacific line at Denver. 1t ID an
eastern outlet that the Espee has been
long looking for that it might more
successfully compete with the Santa
Fe, line which does very heavy
business at present from the Atlantic

Gan Miguel Examiner: Thursday
night = bad accident happened to .
north-Lound freight train At the But
terfiy spur between 8 aud 10 O'Clock In
which Carl Quist, the engineer, and
his fireman, Frank Davies, were In
jured and the engine put into the ditch
and broken up. The cause of the &C.
cident as we have heard it was that the
train ran into an open switch at the
Butterfly siding. A short switch was
built at the Butterfly mine for their
con venience In loading concentrates,
which is about long enough for one or
two cars. 1t joins right QUITO the main
track on q trestle or bridge about forty
feet from the guIch below. 1t is
claimed that this switch was left open
aud locked, 30 that when the train
came down the hill the engine followed
the switch rail aud overturned. The
train consisted Of four loads and the
caboose, and two engines were used to
get over Lizard Head from the south,
Leo Cronenberg running the back
engine. They were going down the
bill at the schedule rate Of speed when
Quist's engine struck the open switch
and jumped the track, turning COM
pIeteIy over and breaking away from
the tender, the engine dropped into
the gulch and the tender and all the
rest of the train stopping. with the
tender hanging over the bridge
which the engine had broken out.
Quist stayed with the engine aud was
scalded about the head. face and neck
and on his breast and back. Fireman
Davies dropped out Of the engine cab
down between the bridge timbers and
had his clothes nearly torn of of him.
He was badly Jared up from his fall,
and seemed partially paralyzed from It,.
In Its fall the engine knocked the
stringers of the bridge and one bent
out. cutting off communication with
the south entirely. There was pecu-
liar thing about the accident. The
freight which WAS wrecked had been
following the passenger train closely
from Rico, and the passenger crossed
the trestle all right only few moments
ahead Of the wrecked train. Why IL
did not wreck instead of the freight IL
not known.
