WANT A NEW TRIAL
u writing up theCriBsingermur
. r trial, tin' editor of the Milton
Standard puts it thus: "The trial ol
Cdward Crissinger lor the murder
of Daisy Smith which has occupied
the attention of the court lurinir the
past week came to a close on Satur
day evening, when the jury after an
hour's deliberation returned a "erdict
of murder in the first degree. This
is the first conviction for murder
ttince McManus was convicted hack
in the seventies. Before noon Ex
Distriet Attorney P.AMallOD made
the closiii.' skkv1i for the prosecu
tion. Judge Savidge delivered his
charge ami at two o clock the case
Went to the jury. It Mas the gen
eral belief that no other verdict than
murder in the first degree could 1h
reached. The jury returned a verdict
of guilty ol murder in the first de
gree about four o'clock.
The defendant's attorneys, it is
understood, will make an application
for a new trial. ( )ne of the reasons
assigned for it is that the jury was
illegally drawn. If this is the case,
why is it'.' The jury commissioners
4-ost the county four or five times as
much as they honestly earned last
year and the juries were drawn right
under the nose of the court. The
people are getting sick and tired of
tins kind of rot. I nssinger is a
iirutc who had a fair impartial trial,
and if he don't stretch hemp it will
Ik- leeause there is no justice in the
Northumberland county our t
There have licen within liltecn years
aeventy-two killings in this county
and not a single hanging."
Ml DDLEBUKG INDUSTRIES.
Why is it that we get no manu
factories in our town'.' We have
men of means here and several of
our townsmen have offered $1,000
to any conern that would come
to Middleburg and locate at this
place and give employment to 24
hands, This is a good and healthy
location; good schools and low taxes.
Any company or corporation wish
ing to start any manufacturing busi
ness will do well to come to our
town.
mi i i .i f.
i ne anove we nave micen ironi
the Middleburg letter in the Adams
burg Herald last week. We have
been in Middleburg for 5 years and
have not vet heard ofsucll men obli
gating themselves for even (1,000.
They can and should, but will they?
I) five, eight, ten or mort men
agree togivef 1000 each toan indus
try or if any number of men will raise
95000, 98000, $10,000 or more
money, the editor of the POST pro
mises to get the industry, as large
as the proportion of the money rais
ed will warrant.
We mean exactly what we say.
The industries will come as soon as
those who are aide will give the en
couragement they should. Those who
would like to, cannot and those who
can, have not yet done so. We
would ask the Herald correspond
ent to hand to us the list of these
men with their obligations attached
and we will bring an industry to
their attention that must Ix'ar close
investigation before their obligation
becomes operative.
A STATE INCOME TAX.
To establish a State income tax is
the purpose ot a dill introduced m
the Senate by Mr. Qibson, of Erie,
who makes its provisions such that
it would draw from everybody en
joyingflOOO a year or more in sal
ary or from business or investment,
except the State and Government
IkiikIs, says the Lewisburg Journal.
It would compel the rich to pay
more in proportion to their circum
stances than persons in tnoderatecir
eomstaneea, the rate of levy being
gradually increased as the amount
of income advances.
The bill is to tax gains, profits or
incomes derived from any kind of
property, rents, interests, dividend
or salary, or Irom any profession,
trade, employment or vocation car -
