Death OF Mr.. r. r. stsrling--Probable
Murder.

Our city was startled yesterday morning by
the announcement Of the death Of Mr.. f. 7.
srERLtNo, well known and prominent bust.
ness citizen, by accident or violence. He was
found senseless on the pavement in front oi
the stairway Of the Block on the corner ol
Bank and Frankfort streets, at about O'Clock
in the morning, under the distressing circum.
stances narrated in the testimony before the
Coroner's Inquest, and soon died without any
restoration of consciousness The manner Of
his death is shrouded in mystery, though the
testimony Of Medical men leaves scarce doubt
but he was struck down by blow from
some blunt instrument Of ruffianism.
Mr. STERLING was an old aud active citizen
Of Cleveland, aud one Of the most enterprising
and honorable. For some fifteen or sixteen
years he had been at the head Of the Cuya-
hoga Steam Furnace Company, the great in
dustrial enterprise of Cleveland The various
machinery, locomotives, steamboat and pro-
peller engines of the Company, have been
used and approved far and wide, and Mr.. SrER-
LIMO was the master spirit OF the extensive es-
adjustment
Mr.. STERLING possessed the most generous
and noble qualities, and that a man of his sa.
gacity, intelligence, sound sense, integrity
of character, strict business habits and honora.
bic standing in community, should yield to the
syren of strong drink and the fascination oi
the card table, is strange, passing strange. His
uutmely and terrible death, whether by acci.
dent or the hand of the assassin, carries a warn
ing of the most solemn and startling monition
to all who put the poisoned cup to their lips
and indulge in the fashionable vices which GO
hand in hand with the use of Intoxicating
liquors No man, young, middle aged, or old
who drinks at all, in public or private, is safe
Touch not, taste not, under any circumstances

Rarey, the Horse-Tamer was in town again
on Friday, and successfully tanned a wild colt
to the satisfaction of his pupils. At New Phil
adelphia few days ago he broke a colt in the
forenoon, and his afternoon performance is thus
narrated by the Advocate
The Glass then adjourned until the afternoon,
when a kicking mare-a Fire Eater" from
strasburgh, was brought into the Barn to Mr..
Rarey, to subdue She was fine looking an
imal-but had such propensity for kicking,
that her owner got her Tor a COW. No one
dared to approach her, unless they were in
front, and then she would sometimes strike
with her fore feet. Mr., r. appeared confident
of success. He worked faithfully for several
hours-but failed to subduo her. She would
kick and squeal, and squeal and kick, and Mr..
Rarey was compelled to admit that he could not
stop her kicking propensities in the short time
he remained here, and asked some of his pupils
to experiment The scholars became dissats-
ied-sOme of them swOre they were humbug
ed, and thought their money should be returned.
A storm was brewing, and Rarey agreed to re-
main another day. He sent for the mare
worked again all day, but the mare still Kicked
as wickediy as ever. The great "Amercan
Horse Tanner" was headed for once. He own
ed up that be was beaten-purchased her for
$40, and declared he would yet make her safe
family animal. The Rareys have a world
wide rePutation-have practised their system
before Kings and Mobiles, subduing the most
vicious Horses-but they have to knock under

The I.nte Railroad sInuahter

At the last accounts thirteen bodies had been
recovered from the ruins of the trains which
went down with the bridge near Schaghtcoke,
and it was hoped no others were killed. The
testimony before the Coronsr's inquest, given
by the employees of the Northern Railroad
Company, shows that the bridge was notorious
ly rotten and unsafe. The structure had been
patched up before, and the very day of the
murders men had been at work making repairs.
TIE bridge was 65 feet span, and the small
beams of which it was composed were rotten at
least two-thirds of their thickness. 1t was
noticed by the witnesses that the bridge sagged
down of late with the passage of every heavy
traiu Preparations were being made for the
erection of a new bridge.
The Gorthen Railroad extends from Albany
northward to Eagle Bridge, 80 miles. The
road is entirely bankrupt and in the hands OF

to become a murderous trap for their victims

Cause or the Death of Horace Mann

Cause or the Death Of Horace Mann.
The lament,d Mann rests in the beautiful
park Immediately in front of his beloved Antioch
College, where the Students will erect a mon
ument to his memory. A correspondent of the
Commercial writes:
His disease, though called by one or two OF
the physicians the typhoid fever, and by anoth-
er the dyspepsia, was in reality exhaustion
He was literally teOrn out He was President
of the College, President of the Board of Trus-
tees, and President of the Executive Commit.
tee. In addition to the labor of all the fore
going positions, he was obliged, during the last
term, to entertain a large circle OF friends,
write his baccalaureate address, Zone of the
greatest productions of his life,) defend the Col.
lege against the attacks ofits creditors, and help
| redeem it from insolvency. The College failed
to furnish him with money enough to enable
him to hire a secretary, and hence he was obli-
ged to do all the work himself
The duties Of his Offices were enough to have
worn out three or four stouter men physically
than he was. With fewer cares and moderate
| share of labor, he might have lived many years
longer. be has fallen q martyr to his favorite
employment-the advancement of education
He was worn out, and died at the age of sixty
three
For many years he has desired to be the man
ager of a liberal COllege-one where both sexes
could be educated together, with equal oppor-
tunlties-One where the dogmas of scctarian-
ism should be ignored, and only the noble yir-
tues and Christian duties inculcated. He has
lived to see such a College founded, and has
graduated three classes. 1t was his JOY,
his pride his idol 1t is highly appropri-
ate that he should be buried on the grounds Of
his loved Institute

penalties of the law, and held public meeting
denuncatory Of the matter, and threatened to

threatened with their virtuous indignation in
the shape Of violence, but nothing was carried

suffering under rheumatism and gout and that
the dampness of the jail threatened serious cOu-
sequences TO him.
Mr.. Angler was discharged from jail last
week upon a writ of habeas corpus issued by

ing facts were shown before the Judge:
That Mr.. Angler had been duly indicted,
tried, convicted, and sentenced in the Court OF
Common Pleas that on motion OF his attorney
an order was made for the suspension of his
sentence til further order of the Court, 70 allow
writ Of error to be Issued; such writ was is

last spring. that the case was there considered,
and without contest, mandate was made to the
court of Common Pleas for the execution its
sentence, whereupon mittimus was Issued to
the Sheriff, and Mr.. Angler was imprisoned
Upon this showing, Judge Dunlap command
ed the Sheriff to discharge the prisoner from
further imprisonment under the sentence, rest
ing his action on the ground that the sentence

after reading the bulletin and break it against

The Boston Bee relates the following remin-
iscence of the deceased Horace Mann:
In the Drayton trial, which occurred at Wash
ington, December, 1913, Mr.. Mann, who was
counsel for the slaves, made the point that the
servitude of the negroes ought to be proved by
something Csc than the claim of the master;
and hkeL ed il to the case of an indictment for
stealing toTss, which, held by nature, must be
shown to have been caught and subjected
While he was exercising this Illustration, Mr..
District Attorney Key, the same who was shot
last February by Daniel E, Sickles, wrote the
following squib, and handed it over to the OPP
posite counsel:
'TO Illustrate the point he's making
In larceny there must be a taking
fox, he says cannot be stolen,
Be he young, or be an old 'uni
Pursuing hounds, says he's mistaken,
At least so far al to the taking"
1t was not long before the following bitter
retort by Mr.. Mann was written on the back OF
the same paper, which was left on the table for
the consideration of the District Attorney
The allusion to "ten dollars bill' regards the
fee advice Mr. Key received on each of the
three hundred and forty five indictments which
he caused to be filed against the prisoners Of
the Pearl:
"Fox-huntihg abroad, and slaye-hunting in doors,
beg leave To suggest do not run on all fOuui
Foxes do not eat fOXes-brute natures have bounds,
But Mr.. District Attorney, out-hOuuding the hounds,
Hunts men, women and children his pockets TO hll
