MRS- EDWARDS DOOMED
Pardon Board Rclutci a Commutation, and
Thero it No Appoal.
The State Board of Pardons has
inally disposed of the ease of Mrs
Kate Kdwaids, the Berks county
woman under sentence of death lor
the murder of her husband, by re
fusine to erant her a commutation
There is no apjval from the decis
ion of the Hoard, which has twice
refused to commute her sentence,
and Governor rennypacker will fix
the date of her execution later.
The case ot Samuel G reason, the
woman's altered negro paramour,
which has been before the Board for
more than two years, was stricken
from the list. Greason was con
victed of first degree murder, sen
tenced tob hanged, refused a com
mutation and afterward given new
tri"l and acquitted on the strength
f a confession, made by the wo
man last winter, that he had tioth
ine to do with the mnrder.
Mrs. Kdwards was in April, 1902,
sentenced to be hanged and three
weeks later the first application tor
a commutation was filed. The ap
plication was based on the ground
that she was au epileptic at the
time ot the killing and was, there
fore, not responsible for the crime
The affidavits of two distinguished
physicians to this effect . were pre
sented by her attorneys at tne nnai
argument last week.
A petition, containing 250,000
signatures, asking that her sentence
be commuted was presented by
Mrs. Anna Fitch, of Cleveland. It
is reported that the final vote on
the question was two for commu
tation and two against. The vote
was taken at the executive sessions
of the Board and this report can
not be verified.
Royal Arcanum Councils Take Action
The Royal Arcanum Councils of
Wilkes-Barre, Pittston, Ashley,
Hazleton, White Haven, Mountain
Top, Kingston, Plymouth and a
auniber of others from that locality
passed resolutions demanding that
the Grand Council of Ponusylvauia
meet not later than July 15 and
call upon the Supreme Regent to
call a special meeting of the Supreme
Council of Pennsylvania to revoke
the action increasing the rates.
Xle resolutions declare: "We do
aot concede the right of the Suprem
Council to change the existing
ates of assessment that shall force
:he older members out of the order.
We, therefore protest against the
iction of the Atlantic City conven
.ion of the Supreme Council as au
njustice to all members. We con
ider that the new plan is a violation
if promises made to all members
tpon joining the order, and the
iroposed change of rates would
end to disrupt the order." Other
Councils all over the state are
aking similar action.
A Famous Goal Oase
Judge Klkin of the supreme court
las handed down a decision revers
ng Northumberland county court,
a the famous Ileim-Goodwill case.
Vhen A. A. lleim and Robert
Goodwill, both of Shamokin anJ
oth now deceased, sold their Mon
tor colliery at Locust Gap to the
leading Company in the early So's
1 dispute arose over the divisiou of
he money and through court after
ourt the case was carried until
inally, last year, the Heiui heirs
von a verdict of $15,000. The
Goodwills took the case to the su
rerne court and won a reversal,
vith a modification. The suit
aas cost the county and litigants
525,000. It is now thought they
vvill come to some understanding.

THE COLUMBIAN,
WE LOST THE FIRST.
The recently organized Blooms
burg Athletic Association base
ball team opened the season at
Milton on Saturday, and were de
feated by the score of 5 to 2. Con
Fideriug the fact that the team had
only practiced together three or
lour evenings and also that the
Milton outfit is pretty much pro
fessional, all of them salaried men,
the showing made by the locals
was not at all discreditable. Aside
from a little off color work by
Brooke in right field, who, at criti
cal stages, dropped two or three
Hy balls, the gj nie was a good one.
All of the infield played good ball,
particularly Gillen on short. The
game .developed., the tact that the
boys are weak at the bat and this,
being as it is, such an important
factor, the manager should strive
to overcome by giving them more
practice. Once or twice in Satur
day's game, they had the bases
filled and nobody out, but they
couldn't hit safely.
The boys say it was almost like
playing the Normal team. Long
pitched, Schmaltz played short
stop, and Seal and Titman covered
out-fi:ld positions.
The River's Water Power
There were filed in the recorder's
office at York, deeds transfering
thousands of acres of land on both
sides of the Susquehanna river from
Shenk's Ferry to a point in Peach
Bottom. The transfer was made
by Carey T. Hutchinson of New
York, to Alex T. Bartlett and Ross
A. Meckey, both of New York.
The latter gentlemen represent
the company w hich is interested in
the building of power plants along
the Susquehanna river.
The land embraces every strateg
ic point for ten miles up and down
the river, aud includes the McCalls
Ferry site, where a power plant is
to be built. A half dozen or more
islands were included in the big
land deal.
A New Cherry.
Terry Kostenbauder has a fine
seedling cherry on his farm in
Franklin township. The tree has
been bearing about three years, to
his knowledge, and the fruit is a
deep, dark red, good size, sweet
and solid, flavored somethinir like
the old black sweet cherry, but
much better, with a wild cherrv
tinge. The tree sprang up in one
of his back fields and was neglected
until a couple of years ago. Any
one desiring grafts can procure
them of Mr. Kostenbauder free of
charge. It will be known as the
"Kostenbauder seedlincr." It is a
valuable cherry and should be pro
pagated. A'ercs Item.
Arthur Colley Injured
Arthur R. Colley was injured at
the West End colliery, Shickshinny
last week, by being struck across
the stomach by the starting bar at
the air compressors. Mr. Colley
was thrown about ten feet by the
force of the blow and was insensible
for some time. Medical aid was
summoned and he was brought to
his home where he lemained for
some time before rallying under
the treatment.
Mr. Colley is a nephew of Frank
Colley of town, and was born aud
raised at Benton, where his many
friends will be sorry to learn of the
accident.

Summer Golds.
Summer Colds, Hay Fever, Rose
Catarrh aud Influenza might be
classed as Summer Grip and are
most distressing aud exasperating,
especially for those who cannot in
dulge in an ocean voyage or a trip
to the mountaius. The suffering is
keen and acute for the stay-at-homes.
Dr. Humphrey's Specific "Seventy-seven"
has earned a well de
served reputation as a cure. The
use of "77" stops the sneezing, re
lieves the asthmatic condition,

BLOOMSBURG,
Mrs Edward's New Dope
Hint Dropped In Pardon Board May Prolong
Life.
A Reading dispatch says: "Well!
well!" was all that Mrs. Kate
Edwards would trust herself to say
when she learned Thursday the
seemingly irrevocable edict that she
must be hanged, as the Pardon Board
had destroyed her last hope of com
mutation. She wrung her hands
and paced her cell, mute in her
agony, until, when her attorneys,
Oliver Lcntz and Elhvood II. Dey
sher, left the prison she mustered
courage to exclaim:
"I know you will do all you can
for me!"
Her lawyers have taken the faint
est possible hope, however from a
remark dropped by one of the evenly-divided
four members of the Par
don Board Wednesday.
"Why was not the theory that the
woman was an epileptic laid before
the supreme court as the basis for
a new trial?" asked one of the mem
bers of the Board of Pardons.
That hint may be acted upou,
The after-discovered evidence bear
ing upon Mrs. Edwards' malady
and that of her father may be laid
before the highest tribunal in just
such an application for a new trial
as was made successfully in behalf
of Greason, Mrs Edwards black
paramour.
Meanwhile the goveruor is not ex
pected to issue the new death war
rant or fix, the date of her execution
before his return to Harrisburg next
W ednesday.
