pursued finally escaped. Humby, who is a

An Important Liquor Question Settled.
"WELLSVILLE, O., Oct. 20. Special
A telegram has been received here from
Columbus that the Ohio Supreme Court had
reversed the decision of Judge Nichols in
the now famous Salem saloon case. In
September, 1890, the Salem Exposition So
ciety held a fair and race meeting in that
city. Under the laws of Ohio no saloons
shall remain open day or night where an
agricultural fair is being held. One Salem
saloonkeeper denied that a fair given by a
stock company came under the Ohio laws,
and refused to close his establishment dur
ing fair week. He was arrested, and when
his case came up before Judge Nichols, of
this county, he discharged the case. It was,
however, taken to the Supreme Court on
appeal, and to-day the decision of Judge
Nichols was reversed. The saloonkeepers
here, believing that the case would be set
tled in their favor, did not close their es
tablishments when the Fair Association
held their fair here last August. The an
nouncement of the Supreme Court's deci
sion has caused great excitement among the
local liquor dealers, as they will all be ar
rested and fined heavily anil imprisoned.

TRTING TO HIDE 17IS BLOODY WORK
riTTSFiELn, Mass., Oct. 20. William
Coy to-day confessed the murder of John
Whalen, whose body was found buried on
the mountain side at "Washington. Mass.,
last Tuesday. He says that he learned
Saturday, August 29, that "Whalen had
planned an elopement with Mrs. Coy.
AVhen he reached home late Saturday night
Whalen w.as absent. He went into the
house to get a lantern and started to hunt
"Whalen.
He could find no trace of him, and re
turned to the house and found "Whalen's
trunk standing in his room. He broke it
open, and found his wife's clothing packed
in it. While examiniug the trunk Whalen
came in. This was between 2 and 3 o'clock
in the morning. Whalen asked Coy what
he was doing at his trunk, and a quarrel
followed. Whalen stepped out and returned
with an ax and club, and struck Coy with
his fist, knocking him into a corner.
Whalen then seized the ax and struck
twice at Coy, who grappled with him, and
after a hard struggle succeeded in getting
possession of the ax. Whalen then seized
the club, and as he tried to strike Coy the
latter hit him with the ax, smashing in his
skull. Whalen fell dead.
Coy spent an hour in deciding what to
do. He finally took the ax and cut Whalen's
throat to make sure of his death,
dragged the body into the yard, and left it
while he cut the bloody pieces out of the
carpet and bedding and burned them.
He then went into the yard, cut the legs
from Whalen's body with" the ax and car
ried the remains up the mountain and buried
them.
Coy says he killed Whalen in self-defense,
and exonerates Joe Kelly and Mrs. Coy,
saying they knew nothing about the crime.
When asked about how he came to have so
much money immediately after AVhalen's
disappearance, he became reticent, but
finally said Whalen gave it to him in con
sideration of his saying nothing about his
(Whalen's) intimacy with Mrs. Coy.
EVANS NOT A DEBTOR.
The Boston Stock Exchange Is in Debt to
the Snlclde, Henry Evans.
BOSTON, Oct., 20. Special President
E. Rollins Morse announced to the Boston
Stock Exchange to-day that he had exam
ined all of the accounts and contracts be
tween Irving A. Evans & Co. and the
members of the Boston Stock Exchange,
and taking the bidding prices of Saturday
for the securities of which the house was
long and the asking prices for those where
the house was short, he found a balance of
some few thousand dollars due from the
members of the Board to Irving A. Evans
&Co.
It is understood that upon the 25 accounts
the unsettled, transactions were not large,
the footings in the aggregate being less
than $200,000. The balance due to "Stock
Exchange members was only about $5,000,
against about $10,000 due to the house.
This leaves for additional assets to the house
free and clear, the two firm memberships in
the Boston Stock Exchange, valued at be
tween $35,000 and $40,000.
FRIGHTENED TO DEATH.
A Xovel Plea Entered in Behalf of the
Omaha Lynchers.
OMArtA, Oct. 20. George Smith, the col
ored fiend who is generally supposed to have
been strangled to death by a mob of infu
riated lynchers, died from fright. At least
that is what the assistant coroner, Dr. Alli
son, dcclored under oath to-day, and on the
strength of it County Attorney Mahoney
asked for a continuance of the preliminary
examination of the alleged lynchers, so
that he could amend the information to suit
this phase of the situation. The Court
granted the request and continued the case
until Friday.
Dr. Allison made the post mortem exam
ination of Smith's body, and while there
were 16 wounds and bruises on the head
and his back was broken in three places,
the doctor testified that the contracted con
dition of the heart and the appearances in
dicated that death resulted from some great
mental emotion, and he was satisfied that
Smith died from fright.

Getting Xew Machinery.
The demand for Marvin's finebread has
become so great that Mr. Marvin has been
compelled to enlarge his already immense
plant. A new engine and boiler and a com
plete Bet of bread-making machinery are
now being placed in the factory on Liberty
street, and its capacity will soon be largely
increased. It is estimated that not more
than half as many families are baking bread
now as were doing so ten years ago. Hbuse
wives are finding out that Marvin's not
only is as good and sweet and pure as they
can make themselves, but that it actually is
cheaper. All first-lass grocers sell Mar

There ?s a way to cure this afflic
tion. It arises from a disordered
stomach. Read what the celebrated
Doctor Hofmeister said before the
Medical Society of London :
"The unnatural motions of the
stomach causing pressure and belch
ino's, the irritation of the intestines
resulting in catarrh of the bowels,
and the inflamed mucous membranes,
are the most fruitful of all known
causes of diseases.
"Out of them grow most kidney
and liver troubles, diabetes, all rheu
matic affections and gout. I have
found that the unnatural motions of
the stomach cease, the intestinal
troubles become soothed, and health
results from the use of Carlsbad
Waters or Sprudel Salts. The diu
retic effect of these remedies, its
quiet action upon the lining of the
stomach, and its healing power upon
the inflamed intestines are beyond
all praise." '

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
IT IS ELECTRICITY
That Appears as a Powerful Agent for
Curing of Disease.
The Scientific Uses of Electricity Belo ,.
we give a few examples of tho beneficial ef
fects of electricity wh en skillfully and scien
tifically applied, aided bv the rational ad
ministration of the propermedicines.
In Pulmonary Consumption Pulmonary
consumption afTords a fine example or it
battle for life between the blood corpuscles
from within and tho disease germs from
without with tissues sodden with catarrhal
secretions as the battlefield. It is a fact
well demonstrated that the most effective
enemv to the germ of this disease is the elec
tric enrrent acting upon the nervous tissue,
stimulating tho vaso motor system which
controls the organs of digestion, assimilation
and absorption. Pure rich blood is always
tho result of healthy nervons power.
Tun Fallacy of Tonics It may now bo
taken as definitely settled that iron, potash,
manganese and other so-called tonics have
a direct deleterious effect in this disease.
Instead of these drugs the organic system
needs rest and regenerative force by means
of gently stimulating the depressed nervous
system bv electrical treatments. AH other
treatment ultimately fails. This, followed
faithfully and perseveringly, slowly but sure
ly succeeds. By treating the consumptive
p'ntient and building np his vitality it ena
bles him to overcome the disease.
Nervous Diseases and General Debility.
In the treatment of nervous diseases and
general debility electricity demonstrates
again its restorative powers. Here it is not
the stimulating action of tho remedies
usually classed as tonics that is needed.
The organic powers of the system aro
already taxed to their ntmost aDility to
carry on the physiological processes oriife.
Electricity gives the much needed effect in
these conditions not that of a stimulant by
irritation, to be followed by a depressing
reaction but that of a true nutriment to
the starving tissues. Its tonic effects are
permanent as they are the effects of a richer
blood supply, bringing healthy food and
oxygen to the tissues. Thus the patient is
gradually brought up to his normal condi
tion. In Convalescence, Wasting Diseases, Eto.
In convalescence from acute diseases elec
tricity should be used to insure rapid con
valescence and to escape the liability to tho
establishment of chronic diseased condi
tions. As a ready oxygenator of the blood,
nnd as a tonic nnd pure reconstructive of
ill-nourished tissues, many other indications
for its use will suggest themselves to the
physician, folIowine"ont the idea or its phy
siological action. Thus one can readily see
tne reasons for its efficacy in rickets, maras
mus, wasting dlschargesfdebility and many
other diseases characterized by malnutri
tion or lowered vitality.
In neuralgia, sciatica, rheumatism, con
gestions and conditions of nervous excite
ment, of sensitiveness of any description,
electricity gives relief and permanent bene
fit with a magical promptitudo and direct
ness, and all the time causing little or no
sensation beyond a gentle stimulation and
warmth.
It is generally supposed by the unin
formed that the amount of sensation pro
duced by an electric battery is the measure
of the good done ov the current.
This is a great mistake, as electricity
should never be applied in sufficient force to
"shock" any one. A galvanic battery will, in
the usual method or applying, produce com
paratively little sensation, and yet, under
the intelligent direction of a physician, the
galvanic current will work cures in cases
and forms of disease which the more stirring
and nerve exciting faradic current is totally
unfit for. The galvanic current is a steady
and uniform flowiof electricity in one direc
tion, mild, soothing and tonic in its effects.
