TERRIBLE DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.
A Cincinnati Lawyer Kills His Wife,
Daughter and Himself.

"A Cincinnati Lawyer Kills His Wife,
Daughter and Himself.
Henry Cole is native of Cincinnati, an
attorney, and formerly served as United
States marshal under Gen. Hickonlooper.
Two years ago he had an appointment
under the census Office to collect statistics
of manufactures in Cincinnati and has
been engaged on that until recently. A
few years ago, while living in Brooklyn,
N. Y, he lost his favorite daughter by a
coasting accident, and since was observed
to be moody and disturbed in mind. About
10 o'clock Wednesday morning the people
occupying part of the house with the Cole
family noticed their apartments all shut
up, and got a policeman and broke in when
the bodies of Mr.. Cole and his wife were
found dead in the same bed, the latter
having bullet in the left temple. Mr..
Cole had shot himself over the right eye,
and the revolver was still in his hand. His
daughter Nettie's body was lying on the
lounge in the adjoining room with bullet
hole in the back of the head. She was tho
only child living, and had graduated from
the Woodward high school last Friday.
Friends say they know of no family trouble
to cause the tragedy. but Mr.. Cole has
been observed to talk wildly for the past
two or three months, and some now recall
that he said when his family died they
would all die together.

How the Assassin Behaves and What He
says

Although the behavior of Guiteau dur
ing the past three or four days has gener-
ally been quiet aud composed, it has been
marked by occasional outbursts Of the
same fierce, fanatical spirit which impelied
him during his trial to denounce by turns
everybody who took any part therein. On
Monday night, for example, he seemed for
a short time to be moved by feelings of un-
usually violent hatred for all who had been
concerned in his trial or were to DO
instrumental in carrying the sentence of
the court into effect. s Arthur will 60 to
hell :" he exclaimed passionately ;" the
cabinet will go to hell &; Judge Bradley
will 20 to hell the supreme court of the
district will go to hell General CrOcker
will 90 to hell,' and, turning to the death .
watcher, " you, too, will go to hell ~
With each repetition of the word hell y
he brought his fist violently down upon
the table to give to it additional emphasis.
AS Deputy Warden Russ passed the door
of his cell, Guiteau said to him, in a snarl-
ing tone eff you have anything to do
with my hanging you will be damned. You
will have to take the responsibility" Dur
ing the greater part of the time, however,
the prisoner seems firm and tranquil, and
manifestS neither unusual excitement nor
unusual depression.
When the Rev. DR.. Hicks paid him \
visit, Guiteau was in quite undemonstra-
tive mood. He said my mind is free
from all worldly affairs, and am ready to

The matter is now between the presidents
conscience and his God. hope that on
Friday there will be no bungling, and
that General Crockcr will do his work
well. The prolongation of my life now
will not contribute to my happiness, al
though it would be for the good of the
American people," Just as DR.. Hicks was
leaving the cell Guiteau said: 81 am
counting the hours till shall be released.
have no fear of punishment hereafter"
John w. Guiteau and Mr.. Reed visited
the prisoner.
The scaffold upon which Guiteau is to
be hung is now in complete readiness, and
tho rope was tested to-day with q weight
of $50 pounds. The exact time for the
execution has not yet been fixed, and it
will depend to some extent upon the pris-
oner's condition and his wishes. The
death warrant, however, will probably be
read about o'clock. Il is not yet known
whether the prisoner intends to make any
extended remarks. 1t is understood, how
ever, that lie will say something.

Mercantile Licenses.

Business men who have not lifted their
mercantile licenses had better do so at
once and save trouble and expense. The
tax is payable on or before the 1st Of July
and if not paid suit will be brought for its
recovery. Last year 180 suits were
brought-a fat job for the aldermen, but
little rough on the merchants.

A NAN who has not wise friends is
exceedingly unfortunate, and especially
when he stands before a political con.
yention and it is just then that wisdom
seems to desert his friends. They may
be very good men, but at such times as
these they very often exhibit sad lack
of common sense. Mr.. Coke is the latest
sufferer. His friends well knew that he
did not want to enter public life and
they knew the very sufficient reasons he
had for it. Yet they forced him into
consenting to become candidate be-
fore the convention and this after he
had positively refused, and when re-
consideration Of his decision necessarily
gave his course an appearance
of vacillation which was very
unjust to his character. Nor was
there any good reason for this ur-
gency of his friends. Certainly Mr..
Coke would have been very good and
very strong candidate, and we think the
Democracy would have been very fortu-
nate in him as its nominee. But it would
have been strong with any of the lead
ing candidates, and there was no rea-
son existing for forcing Mr.. Coke against
his inclinations, in any fear that other.
wise the nomination would be badly
placed. The same reason existed for not
putting Mr.. Coke in nomination that
existed for withdrawing him after the
first ballot he did not want the place
and it would be well filled without him
and his friends ought to have recog-
nized this first as well as last. 1t was
plain enough.

the country. The Democracy may we'll
be proud to have Mr.. Blacks name upon
their ticket. They know that never will
anything but credit attach to them
through his conduct. There is no brighter
jewel among their nominations none
that will shed q greater lustre upon their
ticket.
No better candidate for supreme
Judge than Silas n. Clark could have
been found in the state. His name was
one of those mentioned for the guberna-
toriL Office in case there should be no
agreement upon one of the pronounced
candidates.. He il a very strong man in
the region in which he resides, being
held in equal esteem for his ability as q
lawyer and his good sense and integrity
as man. He viii make . strong addi-
tion to the supreme bench and that it
sorely needs strength no one will dis
pute.
Mr.. Africa's nomination for auditor
general Was . deserved complainant to q
man widely known and esteemed where
ever known. His Qualification for the
Office for which he was named and his
popularity were equally demonstrated by
his unanimous selection by tho conven-
tion.
Male Dim Hay declined tho nomination
for congressman-at-large, which the con-
vention unanimously rendered him, with
the just appreciation Of his eminent
fitness Whoever they select in his stead
will no doubt worthily finish the work
which 50 far has been 50 brilliantly done.

ence.
When Coffroth sat down there was an
awkward pause. 1t looked as though
there was to be no other candidate. It
soon became evident that the advocates of
the other two prominent candidates, Pat
tison and Coke, were each determined to
secure the advantage supposed to be at.
tachcd to q last speech, but the silence
lasted, SO that Coffroth finally said:
"Mr. Chairman, as no one else is before
tho convention, l mova that my candidate
be nominated by acclamation."
There was general laugh at this, bnt
still young Senator Gordon, who had been
selected to start the Pattison boom, sat in
his seat in the front of tho house where the
Philadelphia delegation was stationed, as
cool and unconcerned as though he con-
templated nothing but the most ordinary
interest in the proceedings. The silence
was further prolonged until Chairman
Dallas, himself Pattison man, said:
'If there is no other nominations I will
have to put the motion of the gentleman
from Somerset" Even this did not dis.
turb the equanimity of the waiting orators,
but it proved too much for the nerve of
Thomas May Pierce, who, Notwithstanding
his 300 pound weight figured on the roll
as half a delegate. Shaking one finger at
the chair, he said:
"Although acting without consultation
with anyone, rise to nominate a man.
who, although h not a Philadelphian, is q
member of the Philadelphia family. I
nominate Senator Eckley B. Coxe.'
The mention of the name of the Luzerpe
millionaire revealed tho fact that there
was an audience of peculiarly unani.
nous character far up in the gallery. i'm

region came surprising chorus of wells,

1t is related of Mr.. Blaine by Wash

brief service as Secretary of State, gave

years in that country, and made study

New Banking Firm.

For several days there has been ru-
mOrs on the street that Messrs. Rollo &
Hitchcock had sold out their banking
business to some of our prominent citi-
zens. While such a proposition had
been under consideration for several
days, the matter was not definitely clos
ed until yesterday afternoon when the
sale was made. The parties purchasing
are John W. McGinn, Vim. Macarthur,
Jacob Post, T. T. Van Arsdale, Of our vii
lage, and George F. Reynolds, of Canton,
Ohio. The latter is the gentleman who
had charge of the business during the
recent absence Of Mr.. ROllO, and during
the time he was here proved himself an
accommodating gentleman and created
very favorable impression among our
business men. The transfer will proba-
bly,, not be made until about February 1st
but in the meantime business will con-
tinue the same as heretofore.
1t has been known for sometime that
Mr.. Rollo had been advised by his physi-
clan that the condition of his health
necessitated that he should seek a diff
ferent climate and this made 1t neces-
sary that he should dispose of his bust
ness here, business thBt he by close at
tention had built up and greatly in
creased from year to year. Mr.. ROllO
came to ChebOygan comparative
stranger, but he has succeeded in a re-
markable degree in gaining and retain
ing the confidence of all. He has proven
an honorable and useful citizen and his
departure will be deeply regretted by
the entire community but the best
wishes of all will accompany him. with
the hope that change may result in
the complete restoration of his health.

Northward hound.

Last Monday evening special train,
consisting of six cars loaded with horses,
camp equippage and supplies, and two
coaches with about 70 men, arrived in
our village. All were unloaded here and
the horses, men etc, transferred to the
AlgOmah which left sometime after
midnight for st. Ignace. The horses
etc. were owned by Thomas hester the
noted lumbermen Of the Saginaw valley
and the crew engaged by him for extern
sive numbering operations on the upper
peninsula. After eighteen years of sue
cessful operations in the lower PENN
snla, during which time he amassed a
large fortune disposing short time
since of property at one sale to Wells,
Stone & Co to the amount of $4,000
and still retaining an interest in several
million feet of pine, Mr.. hester has
concluded to emigrate to the upper pen
insula, where his business interests will
hereafter center and where he owns
about 10000 acres of the best pine lands
Oh the Ont0nagon river and its tributa-
ries. mostly located in HOughton, Baraga,
and OntonagOn counties. He will COM
mence operations this winter near

The following complimentary notice
of Rev. A. H. Lowrie, who is soon to be-
come pastor of the Congregational
church of this village, we take from
the Emmett County Independent.
Our old friend and tutor, Prof. A. II.
LOwrie, formerly of Adrain College, has
accepted call as pastor of the Con-
gregatiOnal church of Cheboygan. The
professor is an eloquent speaker, an
active, energetic citizen and a thor
Ough gentlemen. He and his estimable
wife will make valuable addition to
Cheboygan society.
And this we find in the Adrain Re-
cord.
After a residence in Adrian of II years,
during fifteen of which he has been q
professor in the college, Prof. Lowrie is
about to remove to Cheboygan, having
accepted call as pastor of the Congre-
gatiOnal church of that place. We are
sorry that so estimable gentleman and
so able a scholar as Prof. LOwrie is
going to leave the city. His long resi-
dence here, his devOut, consistent life
as a professor and a minister; his wears
of close identity with Adrain college, have
endoard him to large number of the
people of the city and county, who will
regret to have him go. But since he has
accepted the call elsewhere and is about
to remove there are none but will wish
him abundant prosperity.

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY, JANURAY IA, 1882.
A CARD.


January LIST, 1882, G. s. RAMSAY and G.
j. HUNT became members Of the firm
publishing the NORTHERN TRIBUNE
Since the establishment of the paper
both gentlemen have been more or less
intimately connected in its manage
ment. To very great extent the sue
cess which has attended the enterprise
is due to their labors, and their admission
to the more intimate and responsible re-
lationship of co-partners, is but a just
recognition of those services. There
will be no change in the general fea-
lures of the TRIBUNE. 1t will maintain
the place it has won in the front rank
of journalism in Michigan, and no ef-
fort shall be spared in making improve
ments as fast as its increased circulation
will admit. We feel certain that the
change here announced will meet the
appreciation of the friends of the founder,
as we'll as the well wishers Of the TRI-
BUNE.
