sharpsburg Man Commits Suicide.


Our neighboring town OF Sharpsburg
was excited by another tragedy last Sat-
urday, when it was discovered that Alonzo
Nose, a well-known resident OF that
place, had committed suicide. Mr.. Nose
left home in the morning with his ten
year-oId son Carman, and went &c Antie-
tam station, on the Norfolk & Western
Railway. Leaving the boy there he
walked to the canal lock, short dis
lance away, where he borrowed revolt
yer from Lock-keeper Pennell, saying
that he wanted to guard his property
against some one who had been carrying
away foodstutf. He returned to the Sta
ton just as the 1910 passenger train pulled
in, and il is said that he stepped on the
track almost in front OF the engine, mar
rowly escaping being run over. Whether
or rot this was intentional cannot be
stated. Placing his son on the train for
Hagerstown and giving him goodbye,
he returned TO Sharpsburg, where he got
some cartridges for the revolver. AT
noon he again walked from town toward
the lanai, stopping for few moments at
the home of John V. Remsburg. From
there he went TO the home OF Charles
Long, son-in-law of Mr.. Remsburg, and
told him he was going TO the river to look
after his sand pile. That was the last
seen OF him alive. About half-past two
O'Clock Mr.. Long and colored man
were going along the county road, when
they found the lifelesS body OF Nose
lying along the side OF the road. The
body was on its back and the revolver
was lying upon the dead mans breast.
A bullet hole in the head just back OF the
right ear showed how his life had been
ended. The body was about 300 yards
from the railroad bridge over the road.
A coroner'S jury was summoned, and
after an investigation rendered this YER
dict: "That Alonzo Nose did, on the
10Th day OF January, come to his death
by means of a pistol shot by his own
hands"
1t is thought that the act was premedi-
tated, as Nose had told number OF per-
sons the previous day that he intended
shooting himself. II is said that he had
financial difficulties and family troubles.
He is survived by his wife, married
daughter and three sons. Mr.. Nose,
who was about 40 years of age, was a
member OF the Church OF God, and took
an active interest in lodge affairs, being
treasurer OF both the Red Men and the
Sons Of Veterans.

knadIer Acquitted.

In the Circuit Court at Martinsburg on
Tuesday John Knadler was cleared OF the
charge OF numbering his father, M. M.
Knadler, in Berkeley county couple OF
months ago. The jury rendered YER
dict OF acquittal forty minutes after the
case was submitted to it. The defense
was that the elder Knadler was subject to
"spells," and that he died in one OF these
spells following the excitement OF the
fight with his son, falling across the horse
trough, where his body was found the
next morning. Young Knadler's mother
was his best witness, and her testimony
was so directed as to most effectively i'm
press the jury. The accused man was
put on the witness stand and denied that
he had killed his father.

Mrs. VIM. r. Deck sent us few days
ago picture OF little child that she has
had in her possession some fifty years.
During The Civil War she helped nurse a
Confederate soldier who with many others
was being cared for in the Presbyterian
church in Shepherdstown. then used as a
hospital. The poor fellow was desper-
ately wounded, and after several days OF
suffering he died. In one of his pockets
was the picture, which Mrs. Deck has
tintype, representing light-haired, cur
ly -headed little boy two or three years
old. The name of the soldier and where
he was from has long since been forgotten,
but the picture is still distinct and clear.
Wonder if the child has grown to man
hood-and if so would he not like to have
the picture and to know about this Incl
dent?

INDIA IMPORTS Of
GOLD AVID SILVER
Almost Double the Value of
Gold and Silver IS Be-
ing Acquired.

India. for long noted over the world
as the burying ground for silver. has oc-
casioned no end OF nervousness among
financial ccnters lately by its unusual
imports OF gold, and it Is feared that the
yellow metal crowded into India will
meet with no more success In returning
to the worlds financial channels than the
white metal hns in the past. Statistics
for the frst two months Of 1913 Illus
trate TO what extent India has been a
gold and silver buyer.
During January and February the inn
ports OF silver by Indin were valued
al sl,24i900. as compared with G2,2el =
900 for the same period OF 1912. The
gold imported by India in February was
valued at s2.o39, 1872. This shows that al
most double the value Of gold over silver
Is being secured by the government.
II VIII he interesting these recent days
OF depressed silver prices TO learn that
China also has been a smaller importer
OF silver than usual. For the first two
months OF this year China imported $50.
600 worth Of silver as compared with
c 400, 900 for the same period OF 1872
This shows 2 decrease OF G3iS.000 worth
OF silver imported by india and China
during the first two months Of 1913, as
against the same months OF 1912

GOLDFIELD CON. IS
ATTRACTION EAST

There are few mining propositions at
ira citing the attention right now in the
east that the Goldfield Consolidated COM
pany is doing by virtue of its remarkable
recovery from what many supposed were
the initial symptoms OF rigor mortls. In
February the company netted approx
mately S34S. 600. and il is asserted that
during the first eighteen days of March
the results were equal 10 the whole OF
February, giving ground for the belief
that March will see the company earning
over $4,000 and perhaps close 20 $780,
600.
1t is stated from the camp that the
Combination ore body opened several
months ago has been followed now Tor
500 feet along the strike, the width OF
which is forty feet and the value $50
per ton. a new find on the 400 level OF
the Mohawk a few days ago is reported
to run over $50 per ton. the extent OF
which is not fully determined yet.
As far as depth is concerned. the man
sgement is mining fine ore from between
the 1900 and 400 levels by way Of the
Grizzly Bear workings. while conditions
at the 1900 level are such that important
results appear imminent there at practl-
Cally any time.
Goldneld and the East appear TO agree
that the Gold6eld Consolidated company
Is entering upon a new era OF usefulness
and one that Will still further tighten the
grip of the company upon the distinction
OF having the greatest gold mine In the
world.

NEW RULE PROPOSED
FOR LOCAL CHANGE
Would Prohibit the Washing
of Special Lots Against
Real Orders.

Several members of the Salt Lake
Stock and Mining exchange. cognizant of
the fact that there are many abuses in
volved in the present rules. began a
movement on Friday 10 eliminate one
Of the greatest OF these abuses. which
is the taking Of special lots by the broker
making both the bid and offer when there
are other offers for lesser lots on the
floor. Any bidder for special lot. say
for 5000 or 10, 900 shares or any number
OF shares in excess OF the regular board
lot. can under the existing rule wash 10
himself any number Of shares he desires
II his bid and offer are at the mar
ket.
The proposed rule would compel the
broker making such n bid and offer to
take all the smaller lots offered a, thu
same price to an amount up TO the ex-
tent of his own offering AS the rule
now stands. any broker with a legiti-
mate order to sell a board lot, say for
800 shares, can stand and offer In vain
his stock. yet any and all brokers can
offer punches Of thousands OF shares.
taking them themselves through the pro-
cess known as wash sales"
Under this old rule the broker with the
legitimate order must apologize TO his
customer for his failure TO transact the
customers order, and he must explain
this weakness through the existence of
the rule and the transactions or the
broker who may have been acting just
for the purpose OF destroying the ability
OF the broker to make the legitimate
sale.
There are a great many things that
should and must be done by the local
exchange before much of the lost public
confidence will be re2nined. and It is up
10 the members themselves 10 say whcth-
er or not this confidence Is 70 be ac-
quired. Friends OF the institution hope
that the movement started on Friday will
be successful. thereby eliminating hu-
initiating condition for brokers enjoying
some genuine business.
