Charles Brooks, foreman at themary
land Steel Company's plant, Sparrows
Point. She was the widow of John. W.
Wllie, a, spiritualist, who drowned
himself from the steamer Dreamland,
September 9.
She had been a housekeeper for Mil
ler for several years, during which time
he had frequently pressed her to marry
him. But she refused. She told Brooks
she was finished with Miller, and did
not want to have anything more to do
with him. This attitude of hers is be:
lieved to have increased his jealousy
and directly prompted the tragedy,
j The killing was dramatic. Miller left
his stone works, 12 North Wolfe street
about 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
rje entered his buggy and bidding
"so long" to his son, John Miller,
drove off. g
He had learned the new address of
his late housekeeper, and after reaching
Highlandtown made detailed inquiries
as to tfie location.
Driving down sixteen street from

Were Made
Forty or more teachers in the public
schools of Craven county assembled
at Griffin auditorium in this city yes
terday and organized the Craven
County Teachers' Association for the
term -of 1913-14. After the meeting

Vice-President, G. V. Marshall, of
Vancehoro; Secretary, Miss Florence
Wetherington, of Tuscarora.
After the election of officers and the
perfection of the organization the busi
ness of the day was taken up. Many
interesting and instructive talks were
made by the teachers and these were
greatly enjoyed. Miss Elisabeth Moore,
of the Farm Life School facultyf out-
lined an exceptionally good plan of to-
operation in teaching domestic science
in the elementary school and there was
considerable discussion on this subject,
Miss Moore told of some of the things
she hoped to accomplish in the Farm
Life School during the next few months.
Dr. J. E. Turlington, principal of the
Farm Life School made an interesting
talk on the subject of the relation of the
Farm Life School to the elementary
achool and Prof. Gaston of the Dover
school, spoke in an interesting way
along the same line.
Both speakers showed that they had
given this important subject much
careful study and thought and their
audience was thoroughly interested
throughout the entire discourse.
Hon. S. M. Brinson, superintendent
of the public schools of the county,
was the next speaker. Mr. Brinson
explained the compulsory school law
and before ha concluded distributed
blanks on which reports of 6i-attend-nce

The party consisting of about one

us to stop longer in your city, and as
the chief desire of the members of our
party is to make the acquaintance
of your principal business men, we do
not wish to put yo i to trouble or ex

is expected.
"If you can arrange a general meeting
in some public place that would be
all that is necessary or desired. We
could be greeted by the Mayor of your
city, or some leading citizen in a brief
address. This would be responded to
by some member of our party and the
official representative of Mayor Ru

The balance of the time is expected
to be spent in making the acquaintance
of your business people and in visiting
their places of business."
fastened and he readily entered and
made his way to the kitchen.
Mrs. Brooks was at the moment bend-
ing over the sink and with her back to
the door. She was busily rubbing
the pieces when , Miller opened the
door and did not hear him enter.
Miller wasted no time in preliminary
ies but instantly pulled his pistol
from his pocket and fired at the woman.
She was less than four feet off.
The bullet entered her. back di
rectly at the heart and she died in
stantly. She could utter no cry so
quick was the death blow and she
crumbled to the floor on her knees.
She had not even turned her head
nor got a look at her slayer.
Miller tpok a second shot at the
kneeling form to make his work sure;
then jammed the muzzle to his temple
and blew out his brains. He tumbled
to the floor across the room the pistol
still clutched in his hand and his finger
through the trigger guard pressing
the trigger.
Word of the tragedy was telephoned
to Brooks at his work and he went
home. He was prostrated by the
affair and was in such a state that
friends prevented him from entering
the room where the two lay.
"I can't explain it at all " he said.
"I knew of Miller but I never saw him
before, fie wanted my wife to marry
him but she wouldn't have him.
"We were married last month, on
October 9. She told me everything
and all about him too. She said she had
enough of him and didn't want to have
anything more to do with him. He
had never been around here before toL
sec her, and I know she had never
seen him since we were married."

in its decoration of Autumn leaves,
evergreens and white chrysanthemums,
was the scene of a lovely wedding
when Miss Frances Bryan Broadfoot
became the bride of Mr. Jesse S.CIay
pool, of New Bern, N. C.
As the sweet strains of Lohen
grin's Wedding March, skilfully ren
dered by Mr.'Quinton Holton, filled
the church, the ushers, Mr. Jones S.
Wahab and Mr. James P. Parker,
approached the altar through the

wearing a handsome gown of white

lace, and carrying yellow ch ysanthe
mums. Next came the bride on the arm of
her father, and was met at the altar
by the groom and his best man, Mr.
William W. Griffin of New Bern,
who had entered from the vestry-
room. The ceremony was perform
ed by the Rev. A. H. Stubbs, the
solemn "beauty of the occasion be
ing greatly enhanced by the soft
lights of many cnadles burning upon
the altar.
The bride is the younger daugh
ter of Major and Mrs. John B.
Broadfoot, formerly of Fayettevifle,

ME TRIVIAL
PROMINENT NEW BERNIAN
WRITES ABOUT POSTOFFICE
' INVESTIGATION.
The Journal is in receipt of the
following communication with a re
quest for publication. The author
is a prominent business man of this
city and his views on this important
question will be read with interest:
Mr. Editor:
I read your editorial in regard to
the investigation that is to be made
with reference to the management of
the postoffice in this city, and with your
kind permission, I wish to submit
a few observations concerning this
investigation.
In the first place the charges against
the postmaster are very trivial and do
not warrant any investigation. It
is apparent that his main offense
(though not mentioned in the bill),
is the holding off fat Federal job that
others are very desirous of stepping
into before his regular term of office
expires. I have no disposition to
criticise those who want the office,
but the questionable methods being
employed in the effort to obtain it
before it can come to them regularly
and legitimate, are susceptible of
criticism. A few month's tenure of
office is hardly sufficient reward for an
attempt to cloud the good name of a
citizen. Covetousncss is a dangerous
vice and has led men to commit many
crimes. Israel itish king, Ahab, wanted
the vineyard of Naboth and approach
ed him and tried to Induce him to give
it up. "And Naboth said to Ahab
the Lord forbid it that I thouod give
the inheritance of my fathers unto
thee." Ahab became morose and lost
appetite ahdeleep until his wife was
led to enquire as to the cause of his
trouble. When Jezebel learned what
Ahab wanted she went to work to have
"charges preferred against Naboth.
Accordingly two "sons of Belial"
were secured ro testify that Naboth
blasphemed God and the King. The
fharges were sustained and Naboth
was taken out of the city and stoned
to death. When this was accomplished
Jezebel told Ahab to arise, and take
possession of the vineyard for Naboth
was "not alive but dead."
Abbot the time of the triumphal
entry of Ahab upon his newly acquired
property the old prophet appeared oa
the scene. "And the word of the Lord
came to Elijah the Tishhiie saying
Arise go down to meet Ahab King of
JESSE.
SAYS
CHARGES
Israel which is in Samaria: behold he
is in the vineyard of Naboth whether
is gone down to possess it.
"And thou shalt speak unto him
saying Thus saith.the Lord. In the
place where dogs licked the blood of
Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood,
even thine."
King David wanted the wife of Uruah
the Hittite so he wrote a note to
Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
"And 'he wrote in the letter saying,
set ye Uriah in the forefront of the
(lesire to see fair play.
Those concerned should not conspire
to slay the reputation of an upright
and honorable citizen in order to get
possession of the postoffice a few months
earlier than it would otherwise come
to them.
FAIR PLAY.

Aeroplanes as Ambulances.
Two Interesting papers were read tn
the navy and army and ambulance
section of the Doctors' conference by
Major Blrrell on the work of a British
Red Cross unit with the Bulgarians
and by Lieutenant Colonel Donegal on
the utility of aeroplanes In medical
services In the field. Colonel Donegal
expressed the view that In a very few
years the airship would replace the
present ambulance train, at least for
the removal of "sitting up" cases. He
described a large biplane built for
medical service with accommodation
for the pilot, three others and an op

wrestling now than at any time In my
life, but each year takes away more
endurance. I'm not afraid of any man

go on and win forever."
Move Against Baseball Spikes.
The long list of accidents to the
baseball players of the Toronto Inter
national league team this season has
moved President McCaflerty to drastic
action. He will suggest that the clubs
of the organization each hold a meet
ing and appoint one delegate to attend
a meeting In the offices of President
Barrow to discuss the adoption of dif
ferent spikes from those now general
ly used on the shoes of the players.
Mr. McCafferty has offered to try la
crosse spikes, which are of hard rub
ber. They Can't Ring Him.
George Bell, with St. Joe, in the
Western, has a record of winning 21
straight games this year. He pitched
19 while In the Wisconsin league and
was recalled by the Saints, where he
added two more to his string. This
gives him second place among the
pitchers of all time, so far as this feat
Is concerned. In 1886 the records
show that some twlrler pitched 28
games for the win column.
