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 - JUA M ; Mm Ktnti It fixes a tax riel ou in this stale, it un j ..tl. 1 mm nontiim on nil Ol QUnSMU yfi 1 I sums between f 1000 and SoUlHJ ; two-tenth of 1 per centum on sums between 000 and $10,000; thrcc tenthn of 1 ftt centum on all sums between 920,000 and $30,000 ; five tenths of 1 per centum on all sums between 930,000 and $r0,000 ; and one mill of additional taxation shall Ik- added for every additional 95000 up to 9100,000; 3 per centum on all sums alxive $100,000.
