FRANK FRAYNE FREE.
A Doctor Murdered by His Part
ner in Denver.
Congress Has Convened and the Presi.
dents Message Was Received
And Ordered Printed.

CINCINNATI, Dec. Frank Frayne
was before the Police Court this morn
ing on the charge of manslaughter, for
shooting Annie Won Behren at the Coli
scum during the performance of Isl
SlOcum," at the Thanksgiving matinee.
he appeared quite calm at the Begin
ming, but as the testimony proceeded he
was restless, and at times deeply affect
oil. The prosecution ordered the testi-
mOny Of Ser geant Benninger, who saw
the shot, and who arrested Frayne, and
OF MIR. Bean, a member of the company,
who explained the cause of the acci-
dent, He said the thread of the screw
that held the spring catch was worn or
torn of, and the screw was blown out
of the gun. The catch losing its hold
permitted the gun barrel to drop, and
Mr.. FTayne's breast and neck were
burned and blackened by the powder es-
Gaping at the bTeech of the gun. The
prosecution here rested, and said the
charge of manslaughter should be sus-
tained by the statute which fOrbids any
one to point loaded gun at or toward
another person. The counsel for Frayne
claimed that the statute did not apply,
as the gun was not pointed at her,
but at an apple, six inches above her
head. He suggested also that FTayne
had already suffered the worst that
could happen to anyone, and that no
punishment by the law could give
greater weight to the lesson Of this ac-
cident. Judge Heghty leaned to the
opinion that the statute was not dis
obeyed in this case, because the gun
was aimed at an object and not at a per-
son, He said the testimony clearly
showed that there was not the slightest
criminal intent, and the prisoner should
be discharged. The announcement was
greeted with emphatic applause.
The remains of Annie Won Behren,
who was shot by Frank Frayne, on
Thursday, started at o'clock this even
ing by the Baltimore s. Ohio Railway
for the funeral at the home of Mrs. Won
Behren's parents in Brooklyn, New
York. They will arrive there about 8
o'clock tomorrow night. Frank FTayne
and the entire company went along in
the same train and will attend the
funeral in BODY.

DEATH OF LEWIS ID. CAMP
BELL.

On Sabbath morning, Nov. 26th, the
spirit of Col Lewis d. Campbell, one of
the greatest of Ohio men, passed quietly
from its earthly tenement to its eternal
abode. For some time previous to his
death, Mr.. Campbell experienced seri-
GUS decline in health, and his family
and friends began to realize that the
stern old warrior and gifted statesman
was nearing the end of his eventful life.
His strength gradually failed him,
though his intellect was never clouded
He was confined to his bed for several
days, during which time all that loving
hands could do was done, but it was be.
yOnd human power to stay the steady
approach of the winged messenger. His
aged wife and three daughters survive
him.
MR.. CAMPBELL'S LIFE.
The following brief biographical
sketch is compiled from Barns's History
of the Congress of the United States:

AN EXPENSIVE TRIAL.

COLUMBUS, o., December 2.-The trial
of Watson, the Legislature briber, in
which the jury disagreed, will now have
to be tried over again. 1t has been a
very expensive trial to this county, The
matter which could easily have been set
tied by the Legislature OF Ohio has been
shifted to franklin county, and there
Investigated at cost of no less amount
than $1,000. With the additional ex.
pense of about the same amount in the
Wright and Bloch trials, one may safely
say that the disgraceful action of the
Legislature of last winter will cost the
tax payers OF Franklin county about
$500.

McVEAGH ON THE DORSEY
LIE TIER.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2.-Ex-AttOrney-G Gen

of ex-senator DOrsey's letter charging
him with violating confidence during
his term of Offics: "The whole letter is
tissue of falsehOOd firm beginning to
end, except the one solitary fact that L
objected to aay secret examination.
Before l entered the Cabinet of Presi-
dent Garfield, Mr.. Dorsey painted me in
very unfavOrable cOlOrs. If l was as
bad as he represented, why did he come
to see me as he says, and entrust me

they might serve and be served, and be-
come the light and delight of many a
household.
The location of our Home, near five
miles south of Alliance, is incOnvenient
for general visitation and publicity. II
is, as it were, buried from public view.
We opposed its present location, salts
fed it would prove serious mistake.
However, there it is, and likely to be
for a time at least, and the Trustees
find children continue to come faster
than they go, and the Home Is be-
coming more and more crowded. The
County Commissioners of COlumbiana
and Stark have been solicited to employ
a competent lady to travel and labor in
the interest of the Home to find places
for the little ones in households; but
these officials doubt their authority to
do so.
Some plan should be adopted by which
the childless should visit frequently the
Home and see the interesting little
ones. In this way an interest would be
awakened and vast good done to young
and old. A systematic effOrU should be
made in this direction. Benevolent
people throughout both counties would
gladly assist. The younger these little
ones are when taken, the better.
Since our Home was established an
infant waif, a male, and beautiful as
bright, was adopted by a childless couple
Long since the little fellow became the
light of the household. The Trustees of
the Home did not know the parentage
of the child, only that he was born in a
lying-in hospital at Cleveland and out
of wedlOck. The excellent people who
adopted have been anxious to ascertain
the parentage of their lovely little boy,
only out of regard for him and have
been at some trouble in this direction;
but so far they have failed. 1t seems
the mother entered the hospital under
an assumed name, only giving her
county, and in due time left as she
came, leaving no trace.

In regard to the Italian labor troubles

In regard to the Italian labor troubles
on the COnnOtton extension, Chief
Engineer W. G. Jones says that the con-
tractor paid them their wages in full,
right along, but that there was some
back pay due them from the Patterson
management, and they could not under
stand why they did not get that. This
cOnundrum has been tried also by
civilized white men, and like hard
shelled walnut, they gave it up" The
present management pays its men, in
all capacities, fully and promptly, from
one end of the line to the other.

'rincess, Diamonds.

Oscar ;, King of Sweden, is an up
right sovereign, and his Queen, Sophia
Wilhelmina, is warm-hearted religious
woman. The Kings only sister, the
Princess Eugene, inherited an immense
fortune, which she spends in doing
good. DR.. Cuyler thus writes of her in
the Christian Weekly: vs.
She is most deyout and enthusiastic
in her benevolence, and has consecrated
her time and wealth and personal eff
forts to the direction of hospitals, and
to the spread of religious truth among
her destitute countrymen.
t6s No one in Sweden contributes so
largely to Home Missions among the
Lapps and Norwegians as the Princess
Eugene. She spends her summer at a
villa called 'Fridhem,'' or the Home
of Peace. Around it she has reared
asylums for orphan children, and beau
titled the grounds with trees, walks and
flowers. She is the directress of sew
eral societies for providing employment
for poor women; she has opened
Schools for destitute girls. On the Sab
bath She has an evangelical service at
her villa for her many guests and neigh
bors. e"
When the Princess Eugene built her
hospital she found her ready funds mad
eauate; so she sold her jewels to finish
and furnish the building.
One day she visited the hospital and
the tears Of gratitude rolled down the
cheeks Of poor invalid as she came to
his bedside.

among a certain clique of politicians,
whose utterances were echoed by por-
ton of the press, to clamor for the remov-
al of the Capitolfro Washington to some

geographical center of the country. The
topic seemed to prove seven days Won
der, however, and was soon forgotten in
the rush and requirements ofthe Nations

tol will ever be removed or not is not near
so interesting a question to some people
as whether rheumatism can or will be re-

furnishing Of Jewelry.

Some persons can wear cheap jewell
ry without its furnishing, while on others
even gold ornaments soon change color.
The following explanation Of the two
facts is given by the Jeweller::
1t is well known that the human body
contains humors and acids, similar in
action to, and having like tendency
toward, baser metals, as nitric and sui
phuric acids have, namely, to tarnish or
dissolve them, varying in quantity in
different persons; of this theory we
have abundant proof in the effects
which the wearing of jewelry pro-
duces on different persons. Thou
sands wear continually, without any i'll
effect, the cheaper class of jewelry with
brass ear-wires, while if others wore the
same article for few days, they would
be troubled with sore ears; or, in other
words, the acids contained in the system
would SO act on the brass as to produce
i'll results. Instances have occurred in
which articles of jewelry of any grade
below eighteen carat have been tar
nished in a few days. merely from the
above-named cause.
True, these instances are not very fire.
quent; nevertheless it is well to know
them and they are sufficient to prove
that it is not in every case the fault of
the goods not wearing Well-as it is gen
orally called-but the. result Of the par
ticular constitution by which they are
worn.-Voutbs Companion.
