Wife Slayer Had a New Love.
Gertrude Taylor Tolls of Walter Gocdwln'i
Awful Crlir.e.
Another sensational feature has
been added to the now celebrated
murder case of Mrs. Walter E. Good
win at Wcllsboro, this state.
Gertrude Taylor, who is lodged in
jail there, charged with being an ac
complice of Goodwin in the murder
of his wife, has made another startling
confession to the District Attorney,
in which she swears that Goodwin was
accompanied by another man, un
known to her, on the night the mur
der was committed.
Two years ago Walter E. Goodwin,
a prosperous farmer near the little
hamlet of Charlestown, wooed and
wedded Effie S. Copley, of Hills Creek,
the belle of the township, a beautiful
girl of twenty years. For six months
their married lifewas happy, and then
a separation came, caused by a quarrel
with Goodwin's parents.
Goodwin became infatuated with
young Gertrude Taylor, and his inti
macy continued with her until both
were landed behind prison bars.
Mrs. Goodwin instituted last week
a suit for absolute divorce on the
ground of non support.
Goodwin urged her to withdraw,
but again she refused. On last Friday
morning she received the letter from
him which lured her to her death. It
begged for an interview that evening.
At 10 o'clock that night a carriage
containing Walter Goodwin, Gertrude
Taylor and the unknown drove up
near the home of Farmer Beecher,
where Mrs. Goodwin was staying.
Goodwin and the other man alighted,
the Taylor girl remaining in the wagon.
Near the home Mrs. Goodwin was
awaiting her husband and rose to meet
him.
There was a quick struggle, as the
unknown gagged the helpless woman,
and then murder was committed.
Four pistol reports were heard, and
the murderers fled. On Saturday
morning Mrs. Goodwin did not ap
pear, but Mr. and Mrs. Beecher did
no. -worry.
Late on Saturday afternoon, how
ever, a farm boy saw a prostrate form
in a clump of bushes near by, and
discovered Mrs. Goodwin's body. Her
face was smashed flat, and bullet holes
were found in her head and over her
heart.
The murder aroused intense excite
ment. Goodwin was arrested last
week, and lodged in jail with Ger
trude Taylor, Last Monday night
Miss Taylor, who was only suspected,
confessed that she had accompanied
Goodwin in his drive to the Beecher
homestead.
ONE CF TWO WAYS.
The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one ot
two ways. The first way is from im
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat-
ment cf otner diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or diseases, except in rare
cases. It is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble' of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and ex
traordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sample
bottle and pamphlet, both sent free
by mail. Mention The Columijian
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer

COUNCIL MEETING.
The regular monthly meeting of the
town council was held Friday night
with President Kocher and all the
members except Supplee present.
Building permits were asked for and
granted, one to John Harman and one
for J. W. Frosscr for frame dwelling
houses on Eighth street. They also
asked that the sewer be put in on
said street.
This was referred to the Town
Engineer and Street Committee.
Friendship Fire Company asked
Council to pay them the amount of
the appropriation, one half of the
annual sum, due them up to this time.
On motion of Gorrey and Richard it
was unanimously agreed to grant the
request.
The Winona Hose Company asked
for a place to house their hose appa
ratus, whereupon Rishton .staled that
the barn of J. C. Rutter, Jr., near Iron
street, between Fourth and Fifth
could be secured for $2 per month.
On motion duly seconded and carried
the said barn was accepted.
The Light Committee were not yet
ready to report as to an electric light
on West First street.
Norman Fox asked Council to
lower his taxes, saying that he was
assessed double the amount of last
year, that his occupation is that of a
laborer whilst he is enrolled as a loom
fixer. Referred to Finance Com
mittee with power to act.
The Leonard street pavement mat
ter, which has been before the Council
numerous times, was taken up, and
alter a short discussion Richard moved
that the pavements on said Leonard
street be put down in a straight line
with those in the Ralston addition,
the gutters be cobbled and the pro
perty owners be notified to put down
their respective pavements within
thirty days, or suffer the usual penalty.
Seconded by Rishton and unanimous
ly carried. It is understood that M. I.
Hennessy is to do a certain amount
of grading and put in a box for carry
ing off the water at a point near his
place on said street, in accordance
with a former proposition made by
him, free of charge.
As a result of a tour of inspection
made by several of the Councilmen,
the Street Committee through Presi
dent Kocher reported numerous bad
side walks and in many places none
at all and the lack of crossings, &c,
whereupon it was duly moved, second
ed and carried that the property own
ers on or along streets as follows be
notified to put down proper and safe
pavements within thirty days or suffer
the penalty provided for in such cases:
Catharine street, Jefferson from Third
to Sixth, Eighth, in front of Wesley &
Smith's on West Second, at Whary's
on West Third, along C. W. Neal's on
Light Street road and on East Third,
on First in front of Baptist Parsonage.
In several of these places there are
wooden walks in an unsafe condition,
in which case the owners must take
them up and replace them with pro
per material.
The Committee also recommended
and it is so ordered that crossings be
put in on Sixth street corner Jefferson,
on Market and Sixth, on Eighth near
Dr. Waller's, corner West and Third,
East and Fifth and Eighth and Catha
rine. As to the crossings on East
Fifth street the town will put same as
soon as the property owners have all
their pavements down.
Upon motion duly carried the B. &
S. Railroad Company is to be notified
to keep the guard rail along said com
pany's track on Railroad street in a
proper and safe condition.
B. F. Zarr, Esq., appeared and
complained of the bad condition of
the Fifth street road from East out to
the town line beyond Oak Grove,
saying that in some seasons of the
year the road is in an impassable con
dition, that said street has not had
any attention for several years. He
therefore requests Council to take
action on the same at an early time.
Refe.red to Street Committee.
It was decided lo change the water
course at Sixth and Strawberry Alley
and at Sixth and Catharine streets
and put in wooden boxes similar to
those put in at corner Iron and Third.
It having been ascertained that a
vitrified brick crossing over Maiket
Street from J. L. Moyer's to the drink
ing fountain, could be put in cheap if
not cheaper than stone.it was decided
to go ahead with the brick, for which
purpose a car of brick is to be order ed
at once, on motion of Gorrey and
Rishton.
President Kocher is authorized to
make contract with a certain party
recommended by Street Commissioner
McKelvy, for cobbling stone at thirty
cents per ton.
A petition numerously signed by
residents of different sections of the
Town was presented asking that East
Fourth Street be opened and extend
ed at a uniform width of fifty feet
Referred to Street Committee, they to
examine and report at next meeting.
W. H. Cook and wife sent in a
communication asking council to relay
their pavement, repair wall under
their porch and put in a couple new
steps at their home corner West and
Fourth streets, the same having been
damaged or covered up by reason of
the Town changing the grade along
said Fourth Street. Upon motion of
Gorrey and Richard the matter is
referred to the Street Committee with
power to act, first ascertaining the
price at which Mr. Cook thinks he
can do the work.
Bids were received for the digging
and filling in of the sewer ditch from
Leonard Street up Fifth to near West,
and from Fourth Street out Railroad
to connect wi'.h sewer on Fifth, as
follows :
Wm, B. Ferguson at 17 cents per
lineal foot.
C. II. Morgan, $176 for 1600 feet.
Gideon Heist at 15 cents per foot,
the Town to furnish pipe, cribbing
and cement.
Samuel Neyhard at 14 cents per
foot on Railroad Street.
This matter created a lengthy dis
cussion which was participated in by
all the members, some wanting the
town to do the work and others want
ed it done by contract. Finally
Richard moved that the work be done
by contract. Seconded by Gorrey
and carried by the votes of Richard,
Gorrey, Rishton and Kocher, those
voting no being I lower and Kelley.
Richard then moved that the con
tract be given to C. H. Morgan if he
gives a bond in the sum of $350 with
in two days to complete the work by
October 5th. If he can't comply then
the contract be awarded to Samuel
Neyhard, the next lowest bidder.
This motion was seconded by Gorrey
and unanimously carried.
In regard to the petition of certain
physicians for privilege to ride their
bicycles on the side walks between
the hours of ten p. m. and six a. m.
when the streets are too muddy or
otherwise unfit, Rishton and Gorrey
moved that the request be granted.
A vote was taken and motion lost.

A NEW BIOYOLU.
Brooklyn Lawyer Invents a Wheel Geared
to 250.
A mechanical surprise will be snrunc.
in all probability, on the cycling world
within a few days, and all records for
speed will go by the board if the pres
ent prospects of the new machine's
capacity are realized. A well-known
T- I ...
urooKiyn lawyer has invented a bicycle
with a present gear of 250, and he is
confident that he will see a mile close
to the minute mark. Albert Schock,
the well-known six-day champion,, is
the only rider of prominence who has
seen tne new bicycle, and is the only
one, outside of the inventor, who has
ridden it. Mr. Schock. who is a con
servative man, said :
"I have every belief in the new
wheel and really expect that it will
revolutionize tne present bicycle. It
is mechanically correct, and with a
few minor alterations as to weight and
gear, 1 believe the wheel will prove
satisfactory. I was verv busy in mv
store one day when a man walked in
ana introauced himself, stating that
he had heard of mv ability as a rider
and wanted me to go and look at a
new wheel he had invented. He took
me to his office and there showed me
what I consider will prove to be the
speediest bicycle that has ever been
invented. Its present gear is 250, but
I advised 150 to 175, although I did
not seem to have much more work
propelling jco cear than I did mv 00
six-day gear. The speed that you get
out 01 tne new uicycle is simply tern
fic. The inventor is a rather small
sized man, and he tells me that he
rode a half-mile in a trial I made on
the bicycle nath the other nurht T
must have been traveling close to the
minute mark, ihe only clirhculty
experienced was in turning, and
think the very high gear isresponsibl
for that.
'I had a private trial at Manhattan
Beach at midnight Tuesday, and I
am not at liberty to say what time I
made. I might say that I had trouble
at the turns, owing to the high rate of
speed attained in the straight, but with
a lower gear the inventor is now try
ing to get, I think it will be quite possi
ble to do 1.30 without pace."
