It Is Ground Tin Tlate That the Conflict Is Still the fiercest. 3IDVEMEXTS OF THE TWO CANDIDATES trr.OM A STAFF COBKESrOTDEVT.: COLCSinrs, Oct. 9. The chief topic of discussion to-day in Ohio was the joint de bate at Ada. You heard nothing ele on the street, in the cars and hotel corridors and among the politicians. Neighbors greeted each other in the morning with the now familiar question: "Have you read tic speeihes?" This evening. I will ven ture, there are few voters in the State who coald buy a newspaper that have not jjernsed the addresses on both sides. All asree that the tariff question was ably handled by McKinley and skilfully worded liv Campbell. The Governor dodged the silver issue in a clever manner, and his silence on this matter is considered signifi cant by Republicans. I came over from Ada to Columbus this morning to see how the party leaders regarded the contest As I expected both sides claim ths best of it. What they think in secret nobody but them selves, or possibly a few intimate friends, know. DOTH CANDIDATES AT THEIR BEST. " Looking back at the contest now, I don't believe cither candidate ever appeared to better advantage. They realized the eyes of the nation were upon them, and they girded themselves for a desperate battle. Campbell seemed to be blessed with even more than his wonted wit. It scintillated in nearly everything he said, like electric Sashes at night. The Major was thoughtful and serious solemn as a cathedral. Uis is an earnest sonl, and he couldn't be funny if he tried, though he occasionally made the crowd laugh heartilv when he made a point in his dramatic way against Mr. Campbell. It was principle aiainst principle not man azainst man and after the debate was over it was a pleasing picture to see the two con testants sitting in the same carriage and congratulating the other on his success. Campbell undoubtedly has few peers as a stump speaker in this country. His intel lect is quick, and he never loses his head. M'EINLEY OX A niCIIEK rLANE. McKinley is accustomed to a higher plane of discussion than the average political rostrum affords. He is not like the Gov ernor, good at repartee, but he lacks nothing in sense and argument. The latter is his stronghold, as his speech will show. I have heard many Republicans say to day they would like to have seen Foraker in the ring against the Governor. His style is much the same as Campbell's, and with two such quick-witted men on the same platform a brilliant pyrotechnic display would surely have followed. Columbus, toward the close of the week, is a poor place to finil the politicians, as most of them go home to spend Sunday.. Chairman Neal, of the Democratic Commit tee, had gone before I reached here. Chair man Hahn, for the Republicans, was hard at work managing the details of the cam paign throughout the State. Mr. Hahn was not at Ada, but he had carefully read what both candidates had said. He was anxious to know how the crowd received the speeches, and whether there was more ap plause on one side than the other. Among other things he said: HAHN NOTES A DIFFERENCE. In reading Mr. Campbell's argument this moraine, it occurred to me that ho made it tocateli the crowd at Ada McKinley ar gued, not for the benefit of his immediate bearers, but the whole State. The Governor aimed to tickle the people in his audience, and I suppose he succeeded, hut it is the fireside vote that will settle this light. The conservative thinking men remained-away, l)ut at their leisure they will digest what both candidates presented. I have no fears for Major McKinley's success. Governor Campbell used the old threadbare free trade argument which Senator Carlisle and Mills furnished him. I was afraid there would bo some trouble In tho crowd, but I am glad everything passed off so pleasantly This fives me a grrat deal of satisfaction. I am pleased that the debate was held where it was. Ada is the center of a strong Democratic section, and the Major had a chance to address a number of voters on the other side. He won't have such an opportunity again in the campaign. The Republicans wo have, the Democrats we want to win over to onr ranks. I think the result of the debate demonstrates I was ri?ht in not continuing the joint discussions. It is better for each candidate to fight out his own battles. I was opposed to McKinley assisting the Gov ernor to draw large crowds for the lattcr's eceflt. A RABID DEMOCRATIC OPINION. When Colonel W. A. Taylor, Chief Clerk of the last Senate, was asked for his opinion, he said: The debate came off as I expected. Mc Kinley is an orator, and delivered a set speech in which he theorized on the influ ence of the tariff. lie failed to answer the Governor's very pertinent questions, jyhrther it was not tho consumer who paid tBe tax Campbell's argument was strong and practical. He discussed the tariff with relation to industries and how It affected them and the wages of the men at the presenttimc, and didn't go back into ancient history to try to make a point. The only good I can sec the debate has done, is to stir up our fcllovs to greater activity. Tho counties around Ada are strongly demo cratic, and I think as a result of the contest, wp will poll MO more votes in this neighbor hood, than wo otherwise would havo done. The Indifferent voters got a shaking up, and they will be more active from this time oat. Secretary Matthews, of the Republican osaaittee, heard the debate. Coming over ip thetiain this morning he said Governor Campbell was a good stumper and a witty talker. He didn't think he had hurt Mc Kinley, however, in the least. A CONFESSION OF WEAKNESS.

To this Campbell made no reply, but skillfully avoided the issue. He thought this was a strong con fession of weakness. Mr. Matthews was surprised to see so many Republicans pres ent. At first the committee thought it best to make an effort to get a big crowd to gether to whoop it up for their man. The Major objected, simply saying that he was only too glad to get a whack at a Demo cratic audience. Around the Democratic headquarters few persons were seen outside of the regular employes. The big guns were out on the stump, and Chairman Heal had gone home. Sweet William Springer, of Illinois, had been there in the morning, but he, too, had departed to make a free trade speech in a distant town. The faithful Secretary, L. C. Cole, was found at his desk, and he was tackled for his opinion. "Well," he replied, "we certainly think the Governor had the best of the argument. I used to live in McKinley's district, and I have heard his speech many times before. Why, the Major failed to answer Campbell in any point. He is a man of one idea, and he knows nothing else. He is not versatile like the Governor." "But how about silver?" I asked. DODGING THE SILVER ISSUE. "That is not our fight," he replied. "If there is an SO-cent dollar in the country the Republicans .are responsible for it. Per sonally I am a free silver man, and I see no reason why we can't use silver as well as gold. We will come to it sooner or later." Mr. Cole continued: I think there is no doubt about Campbell carrying the State. The situation in Cincin nati is looking much better. All the mem bers of the committee in Hamilton county, including tho Keemelin people, have united in requesting tho Governor to speak in Cin cinnati. I don't think wo can carry the city, hut McKinlev won't have mqre than a plurality of 5,000. Unless he carries Hamil ton county with a majority ranging from 15.C00 to 20,000 votes he can't be elected. Campbell will como down to Cincinnati with a vote big enough to offset the Major's suc cess in that locality. In short, among the politicians, they claim a victory as they vote and work. I don't believe a conversion was made on either side at Ada, but Republicans gen erally are confident that the solid argument of McKinley in favor of protection will eventually "put to rout the free trade ideas of the Governor. Both acquitted themselves well, is the verdict of the people. Ar.OUND TIN THE BATTLE RAGES. The tin discussion continues to wax. hot ter and hotter. Mr. Keffer, the chemist, who examined the Piqua specimens, now claims that he made a mistake and he is not sure about the amount of carbon in the composition. As the point at issue is whether the basis of the plate is iron or steel, this admission is important, since the amount of carbon determines whether it is steel or not. To this Colonel Taylor replies that Mr. Keffer is a Republican, and now that he knows what the analysis is to be used lor he is commencing to hedge. The owners of the Piqua plant have come forward and offered to give the Democratic Committee 1,000 if they can show that the tin plate of their manufacture is not all that they claim for it Governor Campbell has repeatedly said on the stump that tin was not mined in America. This afternoon Chairman Hahn received this telegram from United States Marshal G. S. Gard, of California: On 'Wednesday, 7th. I saw 34 bars of pig tin, each weighing GO pounds, moulded at Temescal tin mines. The daily output is now fully one ton; will be doubled in two 'months."

So Reduction in the Wages ot Glassworkers at Findlay All Sinking Good Wages, With Few Belgians Among Them The Major's Great Sleeting. Cleveland, Oct 9. Major McKinley made three speeches to-day. This after noon he addressed a big meeting at Bowling Green. Later, whi le on his way to Find lay, he spoke about ten minutes to a crowd assembled at the station in Cygnet This evening he spoke at Findlay to a crowd whi eh packed the big Wigwam, and 4,000 were turned away, unable to gain admit tance. So eager'was the pressing throng that an attempt was made to tear off the siding on one side and make the meeting an open air one. Enthusiasm was unbounded,and the meet ing was one of great success in every feature. William B. Miller, President of the Farmers' Alliance of Hancock county and a stanch Republican, presided and made a speech. During his address Major McKinley gave attention to a portion of Governor Camp bell's speech at Ada which referred directly to Findlay. The Governor said in the course of the joint debate that the various Findlay window glass works employed chiefly "Belgians, aliens and un naturalized citizens," and that the "meager pay" of these men had recently been reduced, following the McKinley bill, and as a result thereof Major McKinley stated in his speech this evening upon good authority that of the 500 window glass workers in this city there are not over 50 Belgians, and all ot them but five have either been naturalized or taken out their first papers. NON-PARTISAN DINNER. M'KINLET ACCEPTS A' INVITE TO DIKE WITH CAMPBELL. The Major Defends the Governor From, the Attacks Made on Him Campbell Holds Him Guiltless of Any Connection With Them A Talk on Wool. TJrFER SANDCSKT, O., Oct 9. Special Governor Campbell and party arrived from Ada at a late hour last night. This is the county seat of Wyandot county, and the home of David Harpster, one of Ohio's wool kings. It is also one of the largest wool producing counties in the State. The Gov ernor's speech to-day was largely devoted to the wool question, as that vas exactly what he was brought here for. When the two candidates parted at Ada, the Governor extended to Major McKinley an invitation to dine with him, and the Re publican nominee accepted and named his next visit to Columbus as the time and place of this interesting non-partisan event Shortly after leaving the Governor, Major McKinley said to The Dispatch corre spondent that he strongly deprecated the personal attacks being made on Governor Campbell by certain newspapers. "I don't believe in that kind of fighting," said the Major. "There are enough real issues in this campaign, and besides, I know Gov ernor Campbell to be an honorable man and I would be one of the very last to have his character traduced in order that I might be politically benefitted. I would have re ferred to the matter in my speech to-day, but it might have been out of place and misconstrued." The Major gave the im pression that he would take the first oppor tunity to disclaim any connection with and discountenance tiie attacks which have been made on Governor Campbell's integrity. A TOD MOB AT OMAHA Seeks Vengeance Upon a Negro for the Death of a Little Girl. KAILS USED TO STORM THE JAIL. Police and Firemen Powerless to Cope With the Angry Crowds. TEE APPEAL OP EX-GOYERNOR BOID Omaha, Neb., Oct 10. 2 A. m. "The negro has just been strungup." That is the bulletin just received from the jail, which, for hours, hasbeen the scene of wild excite ment Public sentiment had been wrought up highly by the regular execution of Ed Neal. This tension was added to when report be came current that little Lizzie Yates, the 5-year-old victim of an assault by Joe Coe, a disreputable negro, had died. Coe was confined in the city jail, but people-did not know it "We will lynch the negro," was soon heard on.every side, and it-was evident that before nightfall the day's comment would terminate in a tragedy. Night came on with an ominous quiet. Few people were in the streets. There was no intimation of the trouble in sight Suddenly about 9:30 o'clock there comes confused sounds of a tramping and hurrying along the paved street toward the county jail, and in a re markably short time the jail was sur rounded. There was no organization ap parent. No leader seemed to control the crowd. Yells filled the air, hundreds shout ing at once what to do. No attack was made on the jail for many moments, the mob standing irresolute, waiting for some one to lead. the jail defended. In the meantime a few policemen and a force of deputy sheriffs that officiated in the Neal hanging was concentrated at the jail. The mob was hovering about the east en trance clamoring for someone to start the trouble. A rush was made for the South street door -of the jail. "We will get in here," shouted the leader. "Stop," said a glittering six-shooter in the hands of Captain Cormack, so the leaders halted. "What do you want?" asked the Captain "We want that negro, was the re ply, "and.we will get him. Get omVof-the way." 'If you take a step this way, I'll kill you," said the Captain, as he shoved the pistol under the spokesman's nose. Per suasively silent, the little round hole in the barrel, backed by a true ofiicer's iron nerve, did the work, and the crowd abandoned the Harney street door. USING SLEDGES ON THB'DOOR. Then sledges were brought and the east door was assailed. This was built of strong steel lattice. Once inside, fonr more steel lattice doors must be broken through. This seemingly impenetrable wall stood between the crowd of angry men, who having tasted blood, thirsted for more. "We will get the negro now," went up from the crowd as solid blows rang on the doors. It was useless. No sledge would iilLji-ainst that doer. About a block away is the power house of the railroad company. Near it are huge piles of rails and long, heavy bars of steeL In a minute half a dozen of these were 'borne by sturdy hands up the hill. While this was being done the telephone wires had been cut and there was no communication with the jail. Ex-Govemor Boyd pushed his way through the crowd to the jail door, and before a blow from the battering ram was struck essayed to speak to the crowd. AN EX-GOVERNOB'S APPEAL. "It will be a disgrace to Omaha," he com menced. "I implore you to be quiet and desist from your unlawful efforts. Let the law take its due course; let " His words were cut off by a man with a sledge, who said: "You are not Governor here. Get out; go attend to your opera house," and smash the steel rail clanged against the steel door. The latter yielded slightly. A mighty yell went up from the maddened men, and again and again the battering ram was hurled against the door. Steel cannot stand everything, and in five minutes the door was open. Then there was a short parley and the second door was assailed.' While all this was going on the Omaha police force of 90 men was called out, but concentration was impossible. The officers were lost in the crowd. Some one suggested that the fire department be called out and the hose turned on. But it was not that kind of a mob. The firemen came and laid their hose, and the crowd simply carried away the lines and drove the firemen away. They were after the negro. Bang! bang! came the sound of steady blows from inside the jail as the crowd worked on the steel doors, which gradually gave way. Then the mob reached the cage in which the prisoner was confined, and made short work of that Finally there was a wild rush to the window, and a few moments later the prisoner was dangling in the air.

TIEED OF A FEMALE MAYOR. She Closed the Saloons, and the People Now Want Her to Resign. WlcnrrA, Kan., Oct 9. Special The austere rule of Mrs. Jennie Paxton, Mayor, of Kiowa, has brought things to such a pass that a petition signed by almost the entire business communitywas presented to her yesterday asking her to resign from office. Mrs. Paxton's race for the Mayoralty last spring, although made for the avowed pur pose of closing the saloons was regarded as such a huge joke that no serious effort was made to defeat her, and ptpiiEfi W$$0$ . PITTSBURG, SATURDAY. OCTOBER 10. J 1891-TWELVE she slipped in by a few votes. Ever since her election she has kept up a war on the saloons, and early this week she deputized a special squad of police to close them and keep them closed. Tne business men then got together, told the saloon keepers to keep open, and hired a lawyer to defend them. It soon deve oped that there was no city ordinance under which Mrs. Paxton had power to close the saloons, so everything is wide open again. Mrs. Paxton is in a quandary. -The W. C T.

DILL'S $10,000 ENTRY Pronounced False by Bank Examiner Miller at the Hearing. NEW WARRANTS FOR THE BANKER. His Friends Fnraish Bail on Each and He Is Now at Liberty. THE EXAMINATION IS POSTPONED rSFXCXAX TILKGIULJI TO THE DISPATCH. Clearfield, Oct. 9. The hearing of Bsnker Dill before United States Commis sioner Ambrose took place here this after noon in the parlor of the jail, and a series of startling revelations made there indi cate that the sensation has by no means been exhausted. At 10 o'clock this morn ing District Attorney Lyon, Marshal J. R. Harrah, Commissioner Ambrose and several witnesses arrived in the city, and proceeded to the bank, where they held a consultation with Bank Examiner Miller. Walter Lyon and Judge Orvis, senior counsel for Dill, then decided it Best to have the hear ing in the jail. Mr. Dill sat on the sofa with his son Henry on his right and Jndge Orvis on his left band. His eldest son.'J. Boynton Dill, was also present The banker looked much better than during the few days succeeding the closing of the bank, and seemed to be in good spirits. At the opening Mr. Lyon immediately offered the the several books of the bank in evidence, and turning to the prisoner asked him if he admitted being the President of the First National Bank. Mr. Dill re spoded firmly that he was, and Bookkeeper Bloom, of the bank, was called and sworn. the first coil of the rope. The witness recognized an entry in the journal made July 14, 1891, as being in the handwriting of President Dill. This entry was an "extra" to the credit of Dill, amounting to $12,661, made up of three items, ot which one was for 810.000, marked "Philadelphia exchange." He then turned to the bank journal of the same date, and all these 110,000 entries were-in Dill's hand writing. W. 6. Smith, discount clerk of the Chest nut Street National Bank of Philadelphia, created a sensation by stating that Dili had no credit there of 510,000 on'July 14 or any where near that time. This witness cor roborated the testimony of Bookkeeper Bloom that but 1,800 had been remitted to Philadelphia, and that was to the Chestnut Street Bank. Both were closely questioned both by counsel and by an occasional inter rogatory by Dill, but both stated that no trace. whatever of tho 510,000 credited in Dill's books could be found. D. S. Closer cashier of the Tyrone Na tional Bank, then testified to the usual cus tom of keeping entries in banks. Mr. Lyon showed him the 510,000 entry, and Close stated he would expect to find where the 510,000 had gone to. Judging from the en try there ought to be other traces of it H. B. Powell, cashier of the County National Bank, was next called upon to give expert testimony regarding the books, and' gave evidence the same as that of Close. the entry; pronounced false. Bank Examiner William Miller testified that on going over the books he found the entry of510,000 credited to Mr. Dill and charged "to the Chestnut Street National Bank. He examined thelaitar! hooks, hut j could find no acknowledgment from the unestnut street uanK as having received any other, remittance from Clearfield with the exception of 1,800. "I pronounce the entry false," said the Bank Examiner, in conclusion. President Dili spoke a word privately to Judge Orvis, and that counsel immediately asked for a continuance, as the prosecution had closed and the defense desired time. This request was agreed to, and Friday, October 16, 'at Commissioner Ambrose's office in Altoona, was fixed as the time, and place. Mr. Dill was bound over in the sum of 520,000 to appear at the above hearing. His troubles, however, had onlv beirun. apparently, as Marshal Harrah served an-i other warrant upon the ex-banker, the evi dent intention being to hold him in custody, as his 520,000 bond had been immediately furnished. The warrant was On the advice of Mr. Lyon, and had been issued by Com missioner Ambrose on information of Ex aminer Miller, charging Dill with em bezzling 576,000 from the First National Bank of Clearfield. two very serious charges. There were five counts in this informa tion, the most important being: Drawing checks when there were no funds to meet them: abstraotintr good securities and re placing them with worthless paper. The commissioner at once iieiu jhl m f zv,uuu additional bail to appear next Friday. The banker's several bondsmen were present and promptly signed the bond and qualified at once. They are A. E. Patton, a banker, and son-in-law of Dill; A. W. Lee, lumber man; D. A. Fnlton, a prominent lumber man and Register and Recorder, and James Mitchell lumberman. The Sheriff still had two other commit ments with him and also the Houtzdale warrant, charging Dill with embezzlement to the amount of $75 000 from- the Houtz dale Bank, all of which he served on the banker. Dill's attorneys ot once had a writ of habeas corpus issued, and, without delay, Judge Krebs heard the arguments. These were short and pointed and the Judge fixed bail on the Houtzdale warrants at 520, 000 and 1.000 respectively, and the Miller case, which had been overlooked by the United States officers, at 5000. The banker and his powerful friends were ready with their bondsmen to any amount apparently, and they were immediately qualified. president dill a free man. Upon these being approved by Judge Krebs the Sheriff was ordered to release the prisoner, and President Dill was again a free man after a hard and game fight He did not at once leave the jail, but in com pany with his sons waited; until dusk, when Le quietly walked to his residence. A dispatch from Phillipsburg, Center county, says: Everybody here now believes that the bank will never reopen under the present management Cashier Jones has already announced issue on his securities, and has forced two prominent Clearfield business men into the hands of the Sheriff. The idea here is that many will be pushed to the wall who otherwise would come out all right were it not for the immediate settle ment that will probably be demanded all around. The Phillipsburg bank has not yet had a receiver appointed, but are issuing all writs in the name of the cashier, who is making things fly in his efforts to clear up the old accounts.

Hambleton's circu lar will announce to-morrow that they have received what they consider definite infor mation regarding the proposed policy of the Baltimore and Ohio Company. They say it is proposed to ask the stockholders at the annual meeting in November to authorize the issue of 510,000,000 additional stock. This stock is to be appropriated, as follows;. As a dividend to present stockholders, 53,000,000; to the Pittsburg and Western Railroad, 52,000,000; to be sold as required for extensions and betterments, 55,000,000.

Tho-Baltimore and Ohio Company has in the last two .years earned over and above all fixed charges an amount equivalent to 10 per cent per annum on its capital stock, which amount-is claimed-to have been siient in other than ordinary expenses, and to re imburse the 'Stockholders who have been deprived of their earned dividends it is now proposed to divide among them 20 per cent in stock. The circular then feoes on to say: "In this connection the announcement tfiat the Baltimore and Ohio will hereafter pay cash dividends quarterly at the rate of o per cent,per annum is most imponan,anu will give stability to Baltimore and Ohio stock and induce purchases for investment It is to be presumed that the 52,000,000 stock to be given for the purchase of the Pittsburg and Western Railroad and the 55,000,000 stock to be sold by the company for extensions and improvements will not be sold under par. A MARGIN FOE ADVANCE. "As the present stock is to receive 20 per cent in new stock, its cost price, taking the present market, at about 103, would be re duced to about 83, quite a margin for an ad vance in Baltimore and Ohio. We don't wish to mislead anyone regarding this mat ter and can only say that our information satisfies us that the above policy has been virtually agreed upon. It may of course be changed in some respects, but the 20 per cent dividend to stockholders seems to .be an admitted certainty-" The announcement is also made to-day that at the meeting of the Ohio and Missis sippi stockholders in Cincinnati on October 16, a directory named by the Baltimore and Ohio wiU be elected, thus giving that com pany virtual control. This action r was de termined upon by the foreign stockholders, who declined the proposition of the Big Four to give the road to the Vanderbills. - DUELS Cassias M.

Washington, Oct 9. Special The Cabinet held its regular semi-weekly meet ing to-day. One of the most interesting questions now before the President and his advisers is the subject of reciprocity with the nations of Continental Europe, and this question is under discussion at almost every Cabinet meeting. The most important mat ter is the power to be given the President under the new tariff bill to reduce the duty on German beet sugar after January 1, 1892, at his discretion. The successful issue of the efforts to re move the embargo on pork is most likely to be-folki neil bj AtrsgTeement for the intro duction into tho German Empire of .Ameri can agricultural products, especially wheat flour, potted and canned meats, free of duty, in return for the free entry of German sugar. Count von Mumm, the German Charge d' Affaires, and the State Depart ment have been negotiating to this effect,, and most satisfactory progress has been made. The German Minister has full power from his Government to act in the matter, and the negotiations will be watched with the greatest'interest. France and Belgium are also considering the same proposition, and with the latter country the entrance of the American hog under the same conditions as in Germany is the foremost question under discussion. It is hardly likely that anything definite-will be done in France until after the arrival of the new Minister from that country, and, as this Government has until the first of next year before anything can be done under- the law, there- is no hurry.

The entire population of this place as well as those attending the county fair were thrown into a terrible state of excitement yester day afternoon by what was supposed to bo an attempt to poison several of those present by means of poisoned whisky. James Har ris, son of William Harris, a butcher of Steubcnville, and Anthony Leggett were there with Harris pacer, Big Charley, which was entered in one of the races, and lest comingin neck and neck with another horse. After this Harris and Leggett drove to the Old Town Hotel, where they were put ting their horses away, when Alex. Cappell, a farmer, drove up, and in conversation with the boys said that he was sorry that they had lost the race. Their reply was that it was part of life and trade. Cappell then offered them a drink, at the same time producing a flask of whisky. IJeggett drank very little of the whisky when it was offered to him, but passed it to Harris, who took two good-sized swallows, and Cappell drained it. The latter said that he found the bottle in a fence corner, and it was pointed out to him by a boy, who had seen an unknown man hide it there be tween two horses. DIED ON THE ROADSIDE. Cappell then started to drive to Candor, and when a short distance along the road began to feel sick and got out of his buggy to vomit He died where he alighted,never getting into the buggy again. He must have suffered intensely before his death, as was shown by the marks along the roadside. Shortly after Cappell left the kirn Harris 'was seized with spasms, and was immedi ately removed to the hotel, and in the mean time Leggett was also taken sick and was taken there and a physician summoned, but he suffered very little, as he drank very sparingly of the liquor. Harris' sufferings were something terrible during the night, and he passed from spasm to spasm. Several of Harris' friends, who were present, at once started to Candor to wreak vengeance upon Cappell. not knowing that he had also suffered, bnt their anger ceased upon seeing the corpse ot Cappell along the road. His remains were taken to McDonald for interment Harris and Leg gett were pronounced out of danger this -morning by the physicians, who had spent the whole night working with them. A DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO POISON. The entire population of this place is very much-excited over what may have been a deliberate attempt to cause the death of Someone. It is surmised, however, that the stuff was prepared to fix some horses that were to run in the race, and that those who prepared it probably did not get a chance to use it. The Fair Directors have taken the matter to hand, and in a few days the public may look for some startling disclosures. Tha man who placed the bottle in the fence cor ner has not been heard of and his name is unknown. A post mortem examination will be held over Cappell's remains to determine what was iu the whisky, but it is thought to have been strychnine. At the time the affair oc curred there was a large crowd in the fair grounds, and the intense excitement did not abate until a late hour. Harris will be taken to Steubenville to-morrow morning, and Leggett will be taken to hi3 home in .Hopedale, O. Numerous stones are afloat, some to tne effect that the whisky was drugged with the intention of removing Cappell, but all these 'tales lack confirmation. A DEATHBED MAB2IAGE.
