SHOT WIFE'S PARAMOUR.
Tragedy up in Huntingdon County Last
Week.
klayi:k confessed hy wire.
Had Threatened Ills Former friend With
Dentil.
"I am tho murderer, and I'm
not going to run away."
Coolly, with a cigar between
his lips, Charles Robinson sat on
a switch tower on tho Pennsylva
nia Railroad, near Spruce creek
tunnel, on last Wednesday morn
ing and with his fingers on the
key tapped the message over the
wire to Harrisburg. Very delib
erately, a few hours before, he
had left his tower and had gone
to his homo, where he knew he
would find the man who had
wronged him. Very deliberate
ly, in the presence of his wife, he
shot this man to death. He had
a seven barreled revolver, and he
emptied every chamber, and ev
ery bullet hit the human mark.
With tho utmost coolness ho
seized the man, already dead, by
the coat collar, dragged the body
to tho street door and threw it
out upon the walk. Then he
went back to his work.
When the police went to arrest
him he coolly locked himself . in
the tower. But he called out to
them that he did not mean to re
sist arrest. He simply meant to
stay at his post until the railroad
company officials sent a man to
relieve him. "I've wired for the
man," ho called, and then he
slammed down the window.
Before evening the new opera
tor arrived. Robinson admitted
him into the tower immediately,
gave him some instructions about
tho trains, and then gave himself
up to the police.
John O'Neil was tho man Rob
inson killed. Robinson and
O'Neill became friends last sum
mer when tho latter went to the
neighborhood, working as an en
gineer on the Spruce creek tun
nel. Robinson ' grew to like
O'Neill so well that he invited
the latter to his home to live.
Early in tho present month, Rob
inson, no longer doubtful threw
O'Neill out of the house.
"It will cost you your life if
you ever dare return," he said.
O'Neill disappeared. Robin
son, believing that ho had seen
tho last of him, forgave his wife,
and it appeared as though happi
ness had re-entered his home.
Still Robinson did not cease vigi
lance and he made tho discovery
that O'Neill and his wife were
writing letters to each other.
O'Neill declared in some of these
that they must arrange a meet
ing. So Robinson said nothing
to his wife and on Wednesday he
intercepted a letter that convey
ed the intelligence that O'Neill
would arrive at Spruce creek
that morning. Still Robinson
said nothing to his wife. Besides
ho caused the letter to come to
her in the usual way and repair
ed the broken seal so ,that she
suspected nothing.
He loft the house as usual in
the morning except that he turn
ed to his father-in-law and said:
"Meet me in the tower abont 9
o'clock will you? I want to talk
a little business."
His father-in-law arrived at
that hour, to find Robinson at
work with the switch levers and
telegraph key quite as usual.
"Say, dad" said Robinson,
"just hang out a few minutes. I
want to run up home."
"Certaiply, Charley," said the
old man, and he took his seat in
the-tower.
Back to his homo Robinson
strode, in his hip pocket a revol
ver ho had purchased tho day be
fore. Ho entered tho dining
room. O'Neill and his wife were
there. The woman screamed.
Robinson said nothing. O'Neill
leaped to his feet and faced the
friend he had betrayed. Before
he could move a step forward
Robinson had drawn the revolver
and began shooting it. The first
two bullets sent O'Niell full
length on tho floor. With a
firm hand Robinson lowered his
aim and fired the remaining five
bullets into the prostrate body.
Death occurred immediately.
His wife was on hor kuees shriek
ing hysterically. Ho did not pay
tho slightest attention to her; but,
lifting O'Neill's body, dragged it
to the door, and roughly threw
the dead man into the street.
Robinson placed the revolver in
his hip pocket and returned to
the tower. There he thanked his
father-in-law for holding the post
and the old mini went away. The
next train brought deputy sher
iffs to take him iuto custody.
They gathered about tho tower.
Robinson opened a window and
looked out.
"I don't want to run away,"
ho said; "but I can't desert the
tower until another man comes
to take my place. I've wired for
him."
Tho deputies saw the good
sense of tho action and made no
attempt to force their way iu.
It was nearly " o'clock Wednes
day evening before the new oper
ator arrived. Robinson lost no
time in admitting him.
"You'll find everything in good
order. Just let mo show you
this schedule, and then I'll have
to go."
Robinson was taken to jail at
Huntingdon. His wife's nervous
condition was such that she was
taken to tho jail there, where she
is comfortably lodged and is re
ceiving medical attention.
A SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENT.
At the annual meeting of the
Pennsylvania Editorial Associa
tion at Harrisburg on Wednesday
last it was unanimously resolved:
That if Trusts are honestly or
ganized to reduce expenses, and
consequently thecostof products,
they should depend on their own
business capacity, not uju pro
tection given to them by the Gov
ernment; and that Congress
ought to repeal such tariff duties
as seem t') protect the Trusts in
their extortionate charges.
The immediate occasion for
this movement is tho exorbitant
price of printiug paper, tho pro
duction and sale of which are
controlled by a gigantic Trust
under cover of tho tariff. Small
as arc the duties on printing pa
per iu comparison with the pro
tective rates in most schedules of
the Diugley act, they are high
enough to defeat foreign compe
tition and to enable the combina
tion of manufactures to dictate
their own terms. Iu conse
quence of tho operations of this
monopoly tho cost of printiug pa
per has been steadily rising un
til it has become a heavy burden
to publishers. One newspaper
iu the interior of the State (The
Kittanning Tribune) has aunounc
au advance in tho price of its
yearly subscription, and others
will be obliged to follow the ox
ample unless a repeal of the du
ties on paper should destroy the
power of the monopoly. Canada
alone would bo able to supply
this country with immense quan
tities of paper at reasonable cost
if the restraints upon importa
tion should be removed.
Most revolutions of the affairs
of men have had their origin in
some one wrong or abuse, from
which starting points the move
ments have spread until the sys
tems creating or tolerating the
mischief have been extirpated.
Whilst tho exorbitant price of
printing paper under the manip
ulation of a protected Trust is the
primary cause of the action of
the Pennsylvania Editorial Asso
ciation, the movement does not
stop with a demand for reform of
this 'evil. That would be an actof
selfishness and stupidity of which
tho intelligent representative
men of this association would
not bo guilty. The wrong that
they suffer has drawn their at
tention more closely to the system
which encourages and upholds it,
and the resolution, passing be
yond the duty on papr, demands
that Congress shall "repeal such
tariff duties as seem to protect
tho Trusts in their exorbitant
charges. " With many of tho du
ties which shelter the Trusts in
their spoliation of American con
sumers it is not a question of
seoiniug, but of actual fact aud
kuowlodge.
Among tho members of tho
Editorial Association who were
present, and who took part in tho
passage of this resolution, weob
servo tho names of some veterans
of journalism who have been bat
tling for a quarter of a century
and more for "Protection to
American Industries." But to
defend the general policy of Pro
tection and to support tho most
flagrant abuses that have taken
root under the Diugley tariff are
two widely different things. Be
yond the ground taken by the
Pennsylvania editors there is no
present occasion for Tariff Re
form to go. With the repeal of
tho duties to a strict revenue
basis, there would arise, of course,
the necessity of transferring
wool, iron ore, and other raw ma
Urials to the free list in order
that American manufacturers
might not be handicapped in do
mesne or foreign trade.
To "The Record" it does not
matter in the least whence or
from what party may come tho
movement to purge; tariff legisla
tion of tho intolerable abuses un
der which have grown up tho in
numerable industrial lnonoplios
that harass the country. The
abandonment of Tariff Reform by
the Bryauite Democrats in order
that they may follow the pumpkin
devil of fret! coiuago, as well as
this movement of the Pennsylva
nia Editorial Association (which
is coinjiosed largely of Republi
cans aud Protectionists), shows
that the immediate question re
straint of tho Trusts by reduc
tion or repeal of the duties that
favor them is rapidly passing
beyond the domain of party. Un
der present organizations party
may resist this movemeut on the
one baud or prove indifferent to
it on the other; but the cause has
taken a deep hold ou the public
miud. If Congress in tho pres
ent session shall fail to remove
the tariff shelter to the most in
iquitous of the Trusts there will
be no evadiug the issue iu the
election this year, aud tho action
of tho Pennsylvania editors plain
ly indicates that this will not be a
pirty question, but that citizens
of all parties will uuito to elect
such representatives only as are
pledged to restraint of monopoly
by reformatory tariff legisla
tion. Tho Philadelphia Record.
ASKING FOR PENSIONS
BY THE THOUSAND.
OFFICIALS SWAMPED BY APPLICATIONS
FROM SPANISH WAR.
ii;kci:ntagi: i:xci.i:is civil w.vk.
Pension Office officials are hav
ing a good deal to do nowadays
to keep up with the applications
for pensious on account of tho
casualties of the Spanish war.
The number of applications is so
great that the Pension Bureau is
giviug the subject careful statis
tical study. The war was a short
oue, aud comparatively few
troops were engaged. At the
same time, there were no large
battles, and no such losses of life
or numbers of wounded as mark
ed scores of battles during tho
War of the Rebelliou. Yet the
pension officials think the per
centage of applications for pen
sions is greater than it has been
in consequenco of the War of tho
Rebellion. The comparison of
the statistics relating to regulars
and volunteers is singularly one
sided. At San Juan Hill 192 reg
ulars were killed and 1097 wound
ed and 55 were missing. The
volunteers lost i!4 men killed in
that battle, 177 wounded and 45
were missing. The applications
on account of the regular army
are 2400 for invalids, 170 for wid
ows and 8H() for dependeuts
Thoso on account of tho volun
teers are 3175 for invalids, 80 for
widows and 30!1 for dependents.
The District of Columbia regi
ment, which lost none killed,
wounded or missing, and, to its
disgust, had no share in tho
fighting, has 419 claims for pen
sions pending. The Seventy-first
New York, which was much criti
cised for not fighting, has put iu
JJ18 claims for pensious! Army
officers and those who urge a
larger standing army deelaro
that these excessive numbers of
pension claims from raw recruits
afford another strong argument
for the regular army. The dif
ference in pension liability on tho
part of the Government would
make a largo item of economy in
case of another war.

but emphutle manner scores Ills pro
fessional brethren for their free admin
istration of unroot lea. lie denounces
the practice as unnecessarily taxing
on tho disorganized systems of Insom
nia patients In many cases. In his
own experience lie has found a simple
method adequate without weakening
after effects likely to produce Increas
ed symptoms.
"Through a study based on tho laws
of physiology In human anatomy ex
tending over a period of a dozen or
more years I have learned that under
certain physical uiuleondltlous," said
the physician, "tho subject may be
given relief by assuming positions at
rest that will from the ease n fowled
the affected parts serve as a natural
somnolent agency. It will be readily
understood that a constrained position
will tend to prevent natural repose,
while a comfortable one will woo It.
Hut what may In most eases seem to
be a position of ease may In reality bo
the reverse.
"Kor Instance, a dyspeptic will rest
more easily lying on the right side for
the simple reason that In that position
the food naturally gravitates out of the
stomach aud Into the intestines, while
If lying on the opposite side that or
gan, In Its weakened state, has to per
forin an uphill process of digestion.
This Is amply sufficient to produce In
somnia. "Lying flat on the back, with tho
limbs relaxed, would seem to secure
the grentest amount of rest for the
muscular system, whether In good
health or Illness. Such Is the position
advocated by physicians generally in
tho most exhausting diseases, and It
is hailed as a sign of rapid recovery
when a patient exhibits an Inclination
to turn on either side. Hut at the same
time there are several disadvantages
In the supine posture which Impair or
embarrass sleep, whether In case of
severe Illness or ordinary health. Thus
In weakly states of the heart or blood
vessels and certain morbid conditions
of tlu brain the blood seems to gravi
tate to the buck of the head and to ac
cordingly produce troublesome dreams.
I believe that much of that weaken
ing delirium which the physician has
to contend with In treating serious
maladies la often occasioned In this
wny.
"In persons who habitually stoop In
their gait or work, either as n result
of the requirements of their occupa
tion or from the course of their physi
cal development, there must necessari
ly bo some distress consequent In
straightening the spine. It may not
be sufficient to cnuso pain and yet bo
such a strain as to prevent perfect
ease. The result Is unconscious rest
lessness, which Is the producer of In
somnia. "People who have contracted chests
cannot sleep well lying upon their
backs. This rule applies especially to
those who have suffered with pleurisy
and retain adhesions of the lungs. They
will Had It easier to get to sleep upon
the right side nnd that their somnolent
rest will do them more good If they
observe this lulvlcc. Furthermore, tho
habit of lying on the bnck Is tho cre
ator of snoring, which much belabors
sleep and prevents the subject from
receiving tho full benefit of Its recuper
ating effects.
"It Is desirable, therefore, in nil cases
to lie on the side, nnd In the absence of
special diseases rendering It more de
sirable to lie on the weak side, which
leaves tho strong lung free to expand,
tho right side should be chosen. A
glance at any plate of the visceral
anatomy will show that when the body
Is thus placed the food In t lit; process
of digestion Is greatly aided In Its
pnssago from tho stomach Into tho In
testines. Hero the principle of gravi
tation directly applies. Then the fact
that the stomach doesn't compress tho
upper portion of the Intestines Is still
another advantage to be gained from
lying on tho right side when sleep
wooing ease to tho entire human mech
anism is under serious consideration.
"In conclusion, I wish to refer to
some injurious eccentricities, or fads,
In sleeping which I have observed. A
wealthy woman once came to me for
treatment for bail dreams of the or
der commonly culled nightmare. Up
on making Inquiry I discovered that
she was iu the habit of lying at rest
with her nrms thrown up over her
head, a position greatly to bo deprecat
ed, although It will Induce sleep in per
sons who have weuk lungs. Tho cir
culation Is thereby made stronger In
the extremities, sad tho head aud neck
nnd muscles of the chest are drawn
up and relaxed by tho shoulders."

"I saw n man do a trick with cards

"which, although lie assured mo was
wholly a trick and that there wns no

"Thero were four of us nt supper,

was then to plnce It on the floor.
"In the meantime a largo napkin

If man were to emulate the common
flea, a Jump over the dome of St I'aul's
would bo a trlllo to him. If he were
as strong as the common horn beetle,
he would be ablo to pick up nnd carry
away two railroad trucks, each loaded
with five tons of coal. If be could
build llko the African termites, quite
un ordinary house would overlook the
top of Ben Nevis. If he could run ns
rnpldly as oue of the small hunting
spiders, he could spring a quarter of a
inllo without trouble nnd run at the
rate of 24 miles u minute! London
