H. (iroh. WASHINGTON AN 0LD0NE. RECORD OF SCHMIDT'S ALLEGED MURDERER. Just One Yesr Ago the Negro Prisoner Was in the Clutches of the Lebanon Authorities.

George Clarence Washington, the nepcro now in county prison, awaiting trial for the murder of Jacob Schmidt, was arrested one year ago today on Alderman Miller's warrant charging him with jumping a $6 board bill, on oath of Landlord Cyrus Hicks. The negro then expressed perfect willingness to go to Jail, and there being no person to pay the negro's shortage, Alderman Miller discharged him, rather than have the county support so worthless a prisoner. Constable Geo. A. Hunter, who arrested him for the murder, also made the arrest one year ago.

Washington, as he has been known then and now, was photographed in prison this morning by Luther G. Har-pel. He was in good spirits and joked with the sheriff and photographer. He commented jocularly on the operation, saying it was the best picture Harpel ever took, and asked for one of the pictures. When told that he could not have one until tomorrow, he said, "I'll be out of here by that time." When asked about the murder, he ridiculed the charge.

"Would a murderer walk along the pike, begging two cents?" he asked. He Is not believed by the Sheriff and jail attendants to be Insane, as reported. He does a deal of chattering, but his appearance of insanity is all a pretense, the officials say. They think he talks too intelligently for a demented man. IXDEPENDENT DISTRICT.

The School Board of Independent District has organized itself into a Board of Health, and on and after May 13 no scholar will be admitted to school without a certificate from a doctor, showing that they have been vaccinated and all those not able to pay for same should call on the School for information.

Tho question of a new trial will then bo disposed of. Many Continuances. The roll of cases being called then were disposed of by the attorneys nro sent In the following manner: Five were marked for trial, two were con tinued for cause, Ave were reported as being settled or verdicts agreed upon while thirteen or more than half of the list were continued by consent. Judge Ehrgood Is considering the advisability of ordering a special term of court for November at which none but appeals shall be heard, the regular October term being, in this event, de voted exclusively to civil cases. As an aid in coming to a conclusion in this matter Judge Ehrgood requested the Prothonotary to make a list of all appeals, whether at issue or not now pending in the courts of Lebanon county.

Under the present rules appeals after one continuance by consent, are placed at the bottom of the list, which means that they-can scarcely be tried within a year. Would Afford Relief. A special November term would af ford much relief. Upon calling the roll of jurors C. S.
