A Victim of Concealed Weapons.
Ex-Cong iif man Taulbee is deed, and it
\ ii extremely probable that Charles E. Kin
caid, the Kentucky judge and Washington
correspondent, who sh >t him in the national
capital a week ago last Friday, will not
soon again play the part of a favored beau
in Washington drawing rooms. He will
have to answer the charge of murder in the
courts. Immediately after the shooting
public sympathy in Washington was with
Kincaid Whether or not it will rem-.n
with him will be determined by the char
acter of tho evidence that is produced
against him.
Taulbee was a large man and a very
strong one, and Kincaid is a very small
man and a delicate one. The physical dif
ference between tho two men was one of the
reasons why public sympathy was with
Kincaid. Another reason was that Kin
caid, it was said, had tried ia every possi
ble way to avoid a difficulty with Taulbee,
who, whenever slightly under the influence
of intoxicating liquor, sought to quarrel
with him.
Oa the day the shooting occurred Taulbee
was the aggressor. He approached Kin
raid and attempted to pull his ear. At that
time Kincaid, according to the published
reports, asserted ttat he was not armed, and
Taulbee declared that he also was without
arms. Where then did Kincaid got the pis
tol with which he shot Taulbee? The shoot
ing occurred soon after the first encounter
between the two men, and Kincaid did not
have time to goto his room for his pistol,
unless his room was close to the capitol.
Did somebody in the capitol lend him a pis
tol?
Kincaid said when he was arrested that
he did not shoot Taulbee from behind and
that he did not draw his pistol until a
movement by Taulbee led him to believe
that the latter was about to draw a weapon.
Taulbee did not make a statement. A few
days ago be was mentally and physically in
a condition to make one, but his physicians
objected because they thought that the ex
citement he would necessarily undergo
would lesson his chances of recovery.
There was an eye-witness to the shooting,
however, who has persistently refused to
say anything about it. Ho is an officer of
the House, and it is probable that he is able
to say whether Taulbee made any move
ment that justified Kincaid in attempting
to kill him.
After all, this Kineaid-Taulbee aff iir is
another illustration of the folly and danger
there is in the practice of carrying con
cealed weapons. No doubt Kincaid was
greatly angered at Taulbee’s attempt to
pull his ear, but has his bloody deed given
him a single moment’s satisfaction? Would
he not willingly make any sacrifice if he
could recall that deed? Even if he should
not bo convicted of murder or a lesser
crime, he will never feel the same pleasure
in life he once did. The thought will be
constantly present in his mind that
he deprived a human being of
life when he could have avoided doing so.
By some he will be regarded as a murderer
and by others as an object of curiosity. The
suffering that Taulbee’s persecution caused
him was of small consequence in comparison
with the sufferings he will endure during
the remainder of his life. Those who carry
concealed weapons are in much greater
of meeting with a violent death than
those who do not, and they are also iu
danger of committing nn act that will fill
their lives with misery.
A World’s Fair in 1891.
Congress might get a point about world’s
fairs from the people of Jamaica. It has
been in session nearly four months, and has
not yet decided whether to hold a world’s
fair in 1893 or 1893, or, in fact, whether or
not to hold one at all. The people seem to
want one, to commemorate the 400th anni
vers .ry of the discovery of this great coun
try, and as 1892 is the only year appropriate
for a fair for such a purpose, it looks very
much as if congress were frittering
away valuable time. Let the con
gressmen turn their eyes to “sleepy
old Jamaica,” as that island
is sometimes called, and learn a lesson in
quick determination and rapid work. The
other day the colonial council decided that
Jamaica should hold a world’s fair, and that
it should beheld in 1891, beginning Jan? 27.
The announcement took the rest of the
world by surprise, for, a ado from those
more or less directly interested in the under
taking, no one knew that Jamaica contem
plated doing anything of the kind; and the
surprise was the greater because less thau a
year was given for preparation.
Kingston,the capital of the island,has been
chosen as the site, the ground has been
broken for the main building, the plans for
which have been completed. The architect
is a native of Kingston, and it is announced
that the building, which will be of iron and
glass, will be constructed by sections in New
York, each section being shipped as soon as
it Is completed, and the New York Herald
furnishes the interesting statement that a
Savannah lumber firm has been engaged to
furnish Georgia pine for the outside booths
and for other buildings. It is expected
that, besides the West Indian islands and
South America, Great Britain and other
European countries and the United States
will make extensive exhibits. The exposi
tion will not, of course, be on the graudest
scale, but it will be highly creditable, and
will be the first ever gotten up on such short
notice.
The virtual censure which the Senate ad
ministered to Senator Call the other day
was undeserved. Senator Call undoubtedly
said practically what ho claimed he did
about Senator Chandler, aud iu putting the
sentence in better shape for the Congres
sional Record ho only did whatovory other
senator has done at one time or another.
Speeches are very rarely printed in the
Record just as they were delivered. Senator
Call’s donunciatiou of Chandler was severe,
but it was just, and, being just, the repub
lican senate did not want it to go upon the
official record.
The republican newspapers of Pennsyl
vania have frequently announced that ex-
Congressman William L. Scott had re
tired permanently from politics, nnd in
view of that fact it is a little singular that
every time an important political move is
made by the democrats of the state, they
charge Mr. Scott with being at the bottom
of it. It is very evident that if Mr. Scott
lias not really cut loose from politics, they
wish he would.

The Canada Tragedy.
The murder of F. C. Ben well, a young
Engl.sbman, 24 years of age, in a lonely
swamp near the town of Princeton, Canada,
fifty-five miles west of Niagara Falls, at
tracting a great deal of attention both in
this country and England. The supposed
murderer is Reginald Birchall, another
young Englishman, 25 years of age, who is
now iu jail. Benwell was the son of a
lieute ant colonel in the English army and
Birchi 1 is tho eon of a clergyman of the
Church of England, now dead. Benwell
was an educated man and was well supplied
with money by his father. Birchall had
considerable money of his own from
his father’s estate, but spent it soon
alter he received it. lie has had the ad
vantages of the best schools of England.
His wife, who accompanied him to this
country, is the daughter of a man named
Stephenson, who is the traffic manager ofi
one of the largest railway corporations in
England. She married Birchall against the
will of her father, and without his knowl
edge. It is believed that Birchall lured
Benwell and another young Englishman,
named Douglass Pelley, from England to
Canada with the intention of murdering
them for tho money they might have with
them.
Benwell, Pelley, and Birchall reached
Now York on the Britanhic on Feb. 14.
On the following day they went to Niagara
Falls, on their way to Canada, where
Birchall sail he hai a magnificent stock
farm. He had agreed to take Benwell and
Pelley into partnership with him in the
stock raising business, and they had paid
him considerable money oa the agreement.
At Niagara Falls Birchall said that he
had received a letter from his ageut on
the farm to the effect that the farm
house was not in a very habitable condi
tion, owing to the neglect of the tenant,
and that it was not advisable for him to
bring his friends there until the house was
put into good condition. Birchall, how
ever, asked Benwell to go with him on a
visit to the farm, and the latter consented.
They started on Feb. 17, and on the even
ing of that day Birchall returned alone,
saying that Benwell was not very well satis
fied with the farm and had gone to visit a
friend who lived in London, Ont. This
story soemel plausible and was accepted.
Oa Feb. 28 the body of Benwell was
found in a thick swamp, three miles from
Princeton. Two bullet-holes were in the
head, and the face was powder-burnt.
Benwell’s name had been stamped on
his coat and his underclothing, but had
been cut out, so that identification would
have been impossible by strangers had it
not been for his cigar case, which the mur
derer had overlooked. His name was on
that.
Inquiry for the murderer was at once
begun, and circumstance after circum
stance came to light which pointed to
Birchall as the murderer. It was found
that he had no farm whatever, that he had
been in Canada the previous summer under
the name of Lord Somerset, that he had the
keys of Benwell’s trunks, and that he told
conflicting stories. Pelley, when he heard
of the murder, was in New York, where he
had gone to attend to some business. He
returned at once to Niagara Falls, and gave
testimony that was strongly against
Birchall. He also stated some circum
stances that justify the belief that Birchall
intended to murder him.
The case against Birchall is a strong one.
He does not appear to be in tho least de
pressed, however. On the contrary, he
seems to be quite light hearted. The case
is a remarkable one in some respects, and
further startling developments are expected
at tho inquest, which is to be continued
to-day.
The Washington correspondent of tli6
Now York Tribune says: “A well-known
member of the Georgia delegation in the
House of Representatives went into the
parlor of the Metropolitan hotel while a
hop was going on to look on a few minutes
at the dancers. The enterprising corre
spondent of a Georgia paper saw him, and
forthwith telegraphed the fact that Mr.
Blank was at the dance. A few days later
an eight-page letter came from an offended
constituent, who Informed the congressman
that ho was paid a big salary to coma here
and work, and not to go to dances. This is
a fact and not a romance, though such a
statement sounds more as if it belonged to
the last instead of the present century.”
This sounds very much like the story that
has been gotten up a number of times be
fore at the expense of an imaginary Geor
gia congressman. In fact, it is an old story
that bobs up regularly every two years
just about this time. It has become super
annuated, and should be placed upon the
“broken down” list.
A few weeks ago the Philadelphia Dress
said editorially that Gan. J. C. Armstrong,
a union veteran, was going to lecture iu
that city on the southern race question, and
that he knew as mujh about that question
as any man living. It urged its readers to
go out aud hear him. Gen. Armstrong’s
views, as given to the public, were not in
fluenced by politics or sectional feeling.
Among other things, he said: “The northern
people cannot understand the peculiar rela
tions of the negroes to the whites of the
south. What would you do if you had this
great preponderance of negroes among you?
You don't know. No one can know till it
has been tried.” Ever since, the Press has
maintained a dead silence with regard to
Gen. Armstrong. It expeoced a political
harangue, and it got an honest expression
of views based upon impartial investiga
tion.
The other day the Morning News called
attention to the fact that water was pouring
into the street from a public hydrant at
Jefferson and Berrien streets. The author
ities looked after the matter when their at
tention was called to it. For several days,
so it is reported, water has been flowing
from a hydrant on Gaston street and also
from one on Drayton, corner South Broad
street. It costs a good deal of money to
supply the city with water, and care should
be taken that it is not wasted. Is it any
body’s business to look after the hydrant*?
If it isn’t it ought to be, and if it is there
must be neglect somewhere.
It is thought that at the uext general con
ference of the M. E. Church South, Dr. A.
G. Haygood will be elected a bishop. It
will be remembered that Dr. 1 lay good was
elected a bishop several years ago, and that
ho declined to servo, saying that the educa
tional work lie had in band was of para
mount importance. It is not often that a
man decline* a bishopric, aud po Imps Dr.
ilaygooi would n tdo eo again.

It is related of Bishop Potter that he was

I SAW young Arthur W. Barrett of Boston on
Broadway the other day, says a New York
newspaper. He says he is home on a leave of
absence from his post of duty as secretary of
legation at Caracas, Venezuela. Perhaps lie is,
but from wliat I heard it is not very likely that
he will ever return to South America. His
diplomatic career was short, if not sweet. He
was appointed by President Harrison about
three or four mouths ago, and started for Vene
zuela soon after. The place was not of much
account, and paid only $1,500 a year. Besides
this the minister there is a curious old charac
ter who is known at home as “Bill Scruggs of
Georgia." As there was nothing at all to do at
the legation, young Barrett fell iuto the way of
writing letters to the American newspapers.
He was quite an expert at the business, and he
scoreJ the people aud the government of Vene
zuela most mercilessly. One of his letters was
published over his own signature in a Boston
paper. and the Venezuelan > overnment got
hold of it. From that time Caracas has not
been a comfortable place of living for Mr. Bar
rett, and that is the real reason why he has
come home and why he will not go back.

"Guess one of those will bring you around to

use of the < ’uticura Remedies. My arms were
covered w ith scabs from my elbows to shoul
ders. my breast was almost one solid scab, and
my back covered with sores, varying in size
from a penny to a dollar. I had doctored with
all the best doctors with no relief, and used
many different medicines without effect. My
case was hereditary, and, I began to think,
incurable, but it began to heal from the first ap
plication.
ARCHER RUSSELL, Deshler, Ohio.
A Crateful Mother
I thank you for your Cuticura Remedies, anrt
reel that in doing so I might be at.io to save
some person from a heavy doctor’s bill, which I
know it has done for me. My baby was seven
weeks old when I began to try Cuticura Reme
dies for a disease which had spread itself all
overits head and face, I was nearly distracted;
had been to the doctor’s.but got no satisfaction,
lief ore two days’ use of the Cuticura Remedies
the scabs began to loosen, an 1 in three weeks I
could hardly believe that it was the baby I used
to dread people seeing. He is perfectly cured,
and has a beautiful growth of hair coming. I
am very grateful to you.
