When the Shaded school question was first pre sented to the citizens of Goldsboro township the fundamental idea was "to meet upon a level and to part upon the square." It is said the vote of the poor or middle class was secured with that idea in view. Some hold to the opinion that the issue being a small one only $25,000, that it would be the part of wisdom to encourage this fundamental idea and expend the whole amount on the present site, which is some 6 acres.

Her Assailant Captured on the. Stairs by a Policeman Blows Out His, Own Brains. -(y the Associated Press.) Philadelphia, May 24. A sensational attempt at murder and suicide took place at a hotel here tonight when John A. Jenkins, of Brooklyn, N.

attempted! to kill a young woman named Mae Briber, of this city, and then blew his brains out while in the grasp of a policeman. The couple registered at the hotel this evening as man and wife. Two letters were found in the room, one written by the young woman and the other by Jenkins. The young woman says she was forced to write her letter at the point of a pistol. It was addressed to her landlady on North 13th street and read as follows: "Kindly look after my tody and pay the insurance.

They have failed to call for it. The money Is in the bureau drawer. You may keep some of my things' and give the remainder to Hannah A. Neber, 1700 South Second street. Give me a good burial.

God bless you. Jack and I die in love and in the triumph'of love's, death. Lovingly, Mae, 219 North 13th street." Miss Barber made a statement saying Jenkins threatened to either shoot her or throw her out of the window. "He said he could not live without me and that I would be dead before 12 o'clock. I pleaded with him to spare my life, but he was obdurate.

Placing the pistol at my head he forced me to write at his dicta tion the letter to my landlady. Then I thought I might save my life by resorting to strategy I asked him for one drink before I died and he ordered beer. AVhen the waiter appeared with the bottle 1 sprang to the window and attempted to jump out into the street. My dress caught and held me and then I knew no more." Jenkins was about 33 years of age and Miss Barber 23. She was handsome and dressed well.

She is said to be a waitress in the restaurant of a large department store in this city. The address given is where the girl boarded. The letter left by Jenkins, who is said to live at 236 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, was prefaced a verse of poetry. This was followed by the words "Kindly notify my brother-in-law, John I. Murphy, of this happy event.

It was just about midnight when screams were heard coming from the fourth floor of the hotel. A woman was seen to be hanging by her dress out of the window. A policeman ran up the stairs and met a man rushing down. He grasped him and was returning with him up the stairs when the man suddenly drew a revolver from his hip pocket and blew out his brains.

Leaving the prostrate man on the stairs, the officer and several hotel servants went to the room from the window of which the woman was hanging and drew her in. As soon as she saw she was saved she fainted. body was sent to the morgue and Miss Barber was sent to the Central police station. Direct from maker to user. 75-lb stone, diameter 20 inches.

Dunn and Company's Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: 4 The situation is the cloud hovering over the business worKi, but the dif ficulties are not sufficiently widespread at present to seriously interfere with the progress of manufacture and distribution. Some settlements of strikes have been effected during the week and others, seem probabl at an early date. Meanwhile prices hold firm, the capacity of production plants in the leading industries is well employed and crop advices are satisfactory. "A feeling of confidence in the permanence of values appears to have settled in all divisions of the iron ifnd steel manufacture. To this may be attributed the decrease in orders for distant delivery, purchasers merely, contracting for their requirements from one to two months in advance.

Tranquility regarding the future is undoubtedly due to the action of the large combination, which made no effort to secure exorbitant prices, but manifests an intention to maintain quotations at the current level."
