Speaking of his recont appearance beforo tho Mahanoy City Borough Counoil on eloctrlo railway matters, the Tri Wetkly Record says: "J. H. l'omeroy, Esq., was right when ho said tho Counoil should act slowly on the matter of request 01 tno com noting electric railways. There are sovoral TMsnna whv this should be. In the first nlacoitishy no moans certain that thoy have acted wUely in tho past. Concessions may havo been given too hastily. It is truo tho electric railway has been a decided benefit to the business of tho community, but we havo surrendered, to secure that advan tage, onr streots into their possession, and once they obtain possession thoy are, apparently, masters of tho situation. This electric railway problem has been sprung so suddenly upon the people,- that they are not prepared to meet it. Concessions once given cannot bo recalled, and In this matter Coun cllmen aro acting not only for the present, but for futuro generations. Go slow." Travel by electricity is mating great strides in this country in rocont years. has not only proven beneficial to tho cities and towns, but it has also become a matter of vital interest to farmers in every state. Tho Farm and Ilomt, a papor published in tho interest of tho latter class, speaks thus upon this subject: The electric railroad is destined to bring every country village into easy, cheap and speedy communication with neighboring towns and cities. Tho electric road should carry produco and other articles at a low rate. bo that they can be dolivored fresh to the customer. Tho electrio road should also bring about more frequent mails to ovcry country town and their free delivery. With the low faro and rapid transit by .electricity, laboring and professional men in largo towns and cities can own houses in the country. All this should directly benofit the farmer' profits and add to the attractiveness of rural life. It is said that in Ohio tho multiplier tlon of electric raitways has already accom plished this to such a degree that the grand list of the state is one-third larger this year than ever before. While tho construction of these roads should be so guarded as to avoid the ovils of over-capitalization and bonding, stock jobbing, etc., their construction should be encouraged so far as the public accom modation demands.

WAS HE MURDERED ? Hoy found Dead on Mountain KhIhI 1'lstol HlioU Heard by tho Residents of Ashland Create Incitement. Tho people of Ashland wore furnished a sensation yesterday afternoon by tho finding of the body of a nlno-year-old boy on mountain near the town. A pistol shot wound in tho neck showed tho oauso of death. Whether it was a oaso of murder, or sul cide, or aoeldeutnl death is depoudeut upon future developments. The body was that of Samuel Kclhl, aged nine years and six months, and son of Louis and Maria Kollil. Mr. Koihl cams a living by oaring for horses for an Ashland syndicate. A neighbor of tho Kclhl family is a Mr, Bubel, who Is a fire boss at tho Bast colliery, and lias an 11-year-old son named Louis, Between 8 and 0 o'clock on Saturday mornlug tho Kclhl boy wont out from his homo to nlay and met tho Bubel boy. Tho lattor had been directed to go to a butchoi shop at Big Mlno Bun. Ho asked Keihl to accompany him and tho two boys startod for tho tiUco. Keihl was not seen again until his doad body was found. Bubel'retumed to his homo at about noou on Saturday. Kelhl's abscuco did not oauso uneasiness to his family. Thoy did not know Bubel had returned and supposed tho two boys stayed over night with frlonds at Big lllno Bun. When they saw Bubol tho next morning tho Keihl family becamo alannod. Buboi said ho did not know what becamo of hi companion. Ho said tho two walked back from Big Mlno Bun and at about noon partod at a point on tho railroad about 100 yards from tho Keihl houso. Scorching parties were nt onco formed. dam where tho boys usually swim was dragged, but nothing was found. At about half past one o'clock yostcrday afternoon a searching party .headed by Mr. Keihl, Charles Keihl, tho boy's uncle, and James Wcusel found tho body on tho fiat of tho mountain, about half a mile southeast of Ashland. The body was in a natural position, resting on tho loft side, with tho face slightly turned upwards. Tho upper part of tho clothing was saturated with blood. A bullet holo was in tho centre of tho neck,, in front. About soven yards from tho body, partly hidden under tho stump of a tree and partly covered by leaves, was found a 32-calibro revolver of six chambers, ono of which was empty. The others wcro loaded. A small pen knifo was found about fivo feet from tho body. Neither tho revolver or knifo boro blood stains. Tho body was removed to tho homo of tho parents in Boilly's row, on tho eastern out skirts of Ashland. Drs. Blddlo and Marshal, of the Miners' Hospital,made an examination Thoy took tho bullet out at tho loft shoulder blade. Tho doctors said tho wound had caused instant death. Tho bullet fitted the one cmoty chamber of tho revolver found under tho tree stump. A strange feature of tho case is that al though Kelhl's clothing was saturated with blood a search in a radius of 100 yards from the place where tho body was found failed to disclose any blood stains upon tho ground The Bubel boy says the pen knife found belongs to him; that he gavo It to Keihl bo furo they started for Big Mino Bun. No ono entertains a theory of suicide. Nono of tho circumstances tond In tint direction. Many people harbor a theory that tho two boys played "Wild West" on tho mountain and Bubel accldently shot the other boy. Bubel then, it is supposed, trird to carry his companion home, but his strength failed and he laid the body where it was found. This would account for tho absence of blood near tho place. But Bubel sticks to his story that he loft Keihl on the railroad, near tho latter's homo, at noon on Saturday, and did not see him. Mr. Keihl says his boy never owned and was never seen handling a revolver. An inquest has not been held yot. Coal & Iron Policemen whitman and uough are trying to solve tho mystery.

Tho child murder cane of 0-yenr-old Frank Blerei brought together n very funny coterie of young lads In front ot Coroner Ashdesk yesterday when a Jury was summoned to hear the inquest. Clarence Melvin, the supposed culprit ind thrower of the brick winch resulted lr Blerer's death, was almost lost from vlt when he went iuto the witness box. Th. coroner had to sit uii straight in order to get on a visual line with the youngster's smiling face. The boy stuck close to tho story thnt he did not throw the brick. When asked what tho brick was thrown for youug Melvin lisped: "We was a'pluylu'." Two other littlo boys were on the stand One of them knew nothing about the mat ter, but Hownrd Kite stated positively that Krnnk threw the brick. Mrs. Bicrer, the mother of the dead boy, enme forward vol untarlly, and, without being sworn, told her sad story, which pinned the act to the Melvin boy. Coroner Asbdesk experienced some dif ficulty In getting the jury to render the proper verdict. They evidently flinched from putting Melvin on record as a boy- Killer, but buoyed up by the coroner s helpful assurance that tho lad was too young to be either morally or legnlly re sponsible for the killing, they consented that tho olll inl should havo his own way. Blerer received Ills injury on May 5 and died lust Friday. Ho Likud n Dog. L It III. IV. lam uiutn ktok-ismmeot I msa 1 ', RZMHE9 kf' DOS Gil Brooklyn Life. A X-ong Way.
