Telephone, 295. 0023-tr Preached His Own Funeral Sermon. At his own request the sheriff allowed Doe Taylor, the outlaw hanged at Wise C. H., Va., yesterday, to address the multitude in the forenoon. He appeared at a win- dow in the court house at 10:15 a.m, and stood for a moment looking over the vast throng, who stood in the pouring rain to get one glimpse of such a famous and ec- centric man. He was dressed in a white sult made of a damask linen table cloth. He wore a stand- ing collar and a pure white tie. His foot wear consisted of black slippers and white cotton socks. After he had viewed the crown he reached for his “Book of Worship” and read a se- lection and asked the thirty persons who stood around him to sing “How Firm a Foundation,” which was followed by prayer, led by the prisoner, who took off his slippers and knelt on his wife's faded black shawl. Another song was sung and he read for his text the verse in Revelations beginning “Behold I stand at the door and knock.” He then consumed an hour and a half in reading and talking, but seldom touched the text. He was not agitated and made no confession and said nothing of his crime. He closed his speech at a few min- utes before noon and went back to his cell and rested until 2, when he was taken to the gallows. Thirty persons witnessed the execution. He spoke but a few words before the black cap was adjusted. According to his re- quest his remains will not be buried for three days, when, he declared, he would rise again. oo The Union Pacific Receivership. S. H. H. Clark, Oliver W. Mink and E. Ellery Anderson, the receivers of the Union Pacific railway, are in New York, and will hold daily meetings for a week or ten days. The subject under consideration at present is the arrangement for such interest pay- ments as is desirable to make when they fall due. The interest will be paid on the Denver extension bonds and the Kansas Pacific consols. While extensive economies have been adopted during the past few months others will follow. The most serious matter confronting the receivers is the paralysis of trade on the system which began in May and became intensely severe in September. They pro- pose to find out if there is any other cause besides the general depression and the shut- ting down of silver industries. The receiv- ers will establish headquarters in New York. o0-_— First Blow in the Matabele War. Henry Labouchere has written a letter to the London Daily Chronicle quoting from a South African newspaper favora- ble to the Chartered Company several paragraphs which confirm Mr. Davis’ story that Dr. Jameson purposely provoked the trouble with the Matabeles. He also notes that Capt. Lendy, who gave the orders to fire on the Matabeles at the September meeting, was stigmatized in the house of commons on account of previous murderous assaults on Mashona villages as a mur- derer and assassin. The member who thus named him was Sydney Buxton, now secre- tary of the colonial office. Labouchere ro- marks: “tt tells its own tale that the South African Chartered Company continue to employ such a mai Se ee eee Lake Steumers Missing. The lake steamer City of Concord and her consort, the Dunford, are missing. They left Port Huron twenty-seven days ago to Joad cedar in Georgian bay and nothing has been heard of them since. The only members of the crew of the Concord now known are Frank Hebner, owner and captain of Chicago; L, E. Gor- ner, chief engineer; John Caldwell, pilot, of Port Huron, and James Francis, wheels- man, of Windsor. The names of the Dun- ford’s crew are not known. The Concord carried a crew of fifteen men. The Dun- ford carried a crew of six men. iTHE HIGH SCHOOLS. Many Matters That Will Interest the Pupils, The First Matinee is Drawing Near— What the Various Organiza- tions Are Doing. School has apparently been in session @ short time, nevertheless ‘Matinee day” is close at hand, and this year the perform- ance will take place on the 2ist of Novem- ber. Active preparations are now being made by the pupils to guard against being compelled to pass off their conditions on that day, and this being the first quarter of the year there wil™be comparatively few who will be obliged to do so. Preparations are also being made for the Christmas entertainments which are an- nually given by the pupils of each of the schools about the middle of December, re- hearsals at the business having been be- gun several days ago. In addition to vocal culture and the reg- ular physical exercises, the classes at the Central are now taking up the Swedish movement, and it is expected that this Movement will be carried to the other schools, Central. The third year classes are now studying Dr. Bernhardt's “Frend voll and Leidvoll.” This is a new work by the professor, and he has taken a great deal of pains to have it include everything in the third year Ger- man course. On Tuesday the pupils of the botany classes will make a short journey to the suburbs jn search of specimens with which to continue the regular work. The teacher will be in charge, and each student pursu- ing botany, who ts present on that day, will be obliged to take the trip. Excursions of this kind have previously been found to be of great help to the pupils, and it is expected that quite a number will be made throughout the year. This week finds Miss Mussey’s painting class larger than last, and the popularity with which it is held among the pupils is shown by the large number that is await- ing an opportunity to enter. ‘ise dramatic club, composed of graduates and present members of the Central,separate from the school club, is making rapid pro- gress with Robertson’s delightful comedy, “Ours,” and as soon as the necessary ar- rangements can be made a production will be given at one of the local halls. Eastern. A meeting of the executive committee of the class of '93 will be called for next week to consider the resignation of Mr. Daniel B. Street as president of the class. Mr. Street handed in his resignation once be- fore, and it was not accepted, but this time it will proably be recognized and Mr. B. C. Davis is spoken of as the principal can- didate for the position. The class intends holding its second reunion during the Christmas holidays. It is rumored about the school that sev- eral scenes from Shakespeare's “As You Like It” will be dramatized for the Christ- mas entertainment. It is also whispered that Miss Glover, who is assistant princi- pal this year, will have charge of the re- hearsals. Dr. Johnson has placed a line of wires on the third floor, and will soon start a class in telegraphy. This school will then be the only school in the city where teleg- raphy will be taught, and as Dr. Johnson has been a practical telegrapher for a num- ber of years, a thorough and interesting course of instruction may be expected. Miss Holmes, after a short illness, has re- turned to her classes, and Miss Shipman has returned to her duties after a two weeks’ visit to Chicago. The Friday afternoon talks, which were so popular last year, have not been men- tioned as yet for this year, but it is hoped that they will be continued, as a good talk from a good practical business man can always be appreciated. Mr. Riordan is now busy making a selec- tion among the young ladies for fancy Indian club squad. His squads have taken well for the past two years, and he will make an effort to have this one take part in the Christmas entertainment. Capt. Shilling of prize company G has been elected to the first lieutenantcy of the Morton Cadets, D. C. N. G. This company is captained by Col. Reichelderfer of last year’s regiment. Maj. Parker of last year is now endeav- oring to obtain a teachership in the night schools. Mr. Henry G. Fisher, class of '93, is now commanding an execellent paying position “ ae shipping department of the Palais ‘ Business, The following are the officers of the class of 9%: Mr. Pilson, president; Miss Notting- ham, vice president; Miss Bartlett, secre- tary; Mr. Redman, treasurer; Mr. Robb, poet; Mr. Weed, valedictorian, with Miss Wiley as alternate. The foot ball team is putting up excellent practice games every day, and will devote most of their attention to local teams and teams from neighboring places. Although the team is not @ member of the High School League, it is generally understood that games will be arranged with the other schools on open dates. The second team is also doing excellent work, and intends chal- lenging the junior teams from the other schools. Rehearsals for the entertainment are pro- gressing very favorably. It is rather early in the year to think of fancy drill squads, but the second year cadets have one in mind, and think, besides being an attract- ive number on the program, they can make an excellent showing. Mr. D. White, who graduated with the first class last term, is now taking a full course at the Eastern. Miss Kate Nottingham, class of '93, has entered the third year class at the Central. Messrs. O. W. Bailey and L. G. Rhein- berg, both of the class of '98, are now hold- ing first-class positions in this city as sten- ographers and typewriters. Western. The company is making excellent head- way under the command of Capt. Wilson and his able lieutenants. The uniforms are now being made by a local firm, and it is expected that they wil reach this school quite a while before those at the other schools are delivered. The Indian club squad of young ladies is progressing very nicely under the thorough training of Mrs, Walton, and it is intended to have the program to perfection by the middle of December, so that the squad can take part in the proposed entertainment. pees Old Folks Day. ‘Tomorrow morning Fourth Street M.

When Frederick county was settled by thrifty and industrious Germans from the Palatinate in the early half of the eigh- teenth century they devoted much of their attention to the raising of the cereals. Much of the excellent corn and wheat rais- ed by them was in demand for home con- sumption and it was necessary to have mills to grind tt. The mills built at that time in Frederick county were the first in the state, and a remarkable fact about them is that a number of them are still standing and still in operation. One of the oldest_of them all ts the Franklin min, near Mechanicstown, which was built in 1768 by Adam LL. Barbardo, whose name and the date are cut in stone on the south gable end of the mill.

Yesterday there was an attempt at robbery in North Laurel. It seems that a Mr. William Hevy, living back from the pike, had occasion to use some money and on going to get it he found that about $9 was missing. Two suspicious colored men were seen going toward the woods near the house and a young son of Mr. Hevy follow- ed them. He came upon them as they were quarreling over the division of the spoils, and when they saw the boy they threw stones at him, but he kept watch of them and saw them hide the money under a stone. After the darkies had gone the bor looked under the stone and found about $80, the negroes having carried off the balance. As yet no arrests have been made.
