This chest is about three feet long by one

NEWARK, O., November 2S.-Durlug the
last campaign the Republican managers in
this county put forth strenuous efforts to
overcome the fifteen hundred Democratic
msjority and defeat the Democratic nomi-
nee for Auditor, James F. Lingafelter, for
bis second term. They directed their
whole attention to him, paying none hard
" to any other candidates. The main OBJ
iecs was to defeat Lingafelter, and to this
end the most slanderoas stories and mis-
reservations were circulated, one OF the
stories being that he had instructed AS
SCISSORS to falsely return male inhabi-
tants over twenty-one years in the town
ship, so as to increase his fees as Auditor.
Some three or four Assessors made affidavit
to the truth of the matter, but Lingafelter
was vinaicated by reelection by about
the usual majority, losing not more than
three hundred votes. In order to further
satisfy the public in regard to the truth or
falsity of the matter, he has now come for
ward and filed with the Commissioners his
petition demanding an Investigation and
the allowance of a salary in accordance
with their findings. The Commissioners
will investigate thoroughly and give the
result OF their labors.

Him N Murderer,

Him a Murderer.
ST. LOUIS, November 2S-On Saturday
last Fred Spilker, saloonkeeper, shot and
killed his partner, Ernest kornahardt
To-day there was sad and dramatic scene
in tie city Jail, where Spilker remains a
prisoner. A young girl escorted by gen.
tleman friend and the jailor walked to his
cell door, and looking through the grating
said: "Are you there, Fritz The occu.
pant of the cell who was reclining on his
cot, arose, with eyes glistening as though
the voice had hit the right spot and pre-
pared him for the worst He stood as riv-
eted for moment and then half shriekei

The cell was thrown open by guard and
then The young lovers embraced each othe,
and wept The girl could not understand
the resson her lover was in jail, for she had
slways known him as sn honest man. She
never dreamed that he was there for muir.
ier. and when the truth was told her by
her lover her cries pierced the utterm0Si
recesSes OF the Jail and were taken up by
the women prisoners, who immediately
took in the situation.
Al the time of the murder SDilker had
been in this country but three months. In
Germany he saved about $3.50 and was OF
a thrifty turn OF mind. Last August he
decided to come to this country. When he
arrived he met Ernest kornhsrdt, an old
schoolmate who induced him to 60 into
the saloon business.
They Embar led I'm Business Together,
Spilker furnishing the place With the
money which he had brought with him
Al. l1l trr-
soon, however about the management OF
the place, and the killing OF Rornhardt
followed. Spilker was born in Minden,
Westphalia. where he went to school, and
was raised with Kornhardt and the girl who
was to become his wife. When he came 10
this country il was understood that the
separation of the lovers was cnly to De for
a few months. When Spilker went into
business and everything looked prosper
Gus he wrote to the girl TO come to st. Lou
IS. Her near relatives had died. III the
meantime, and gathering together every
thing she mad, 5000 marks in all, she lett
for this country and arrived safely in New
York.
From New York
She Hurried on Here.
1t appears that SpilkerS knew all along
that she was en- route here. He had in.
tended to marry her upon her arrival, and
at the time OF the murder was thinking OF
where the funds were to come from to pay
the expenses that wedding and marriage
would entail, and was driven to his wits
end by reason OF the disappearance OF his
ready money, which had been swallowed
up in the poor business in which he mad
embarked. Instead OF finding all happi,
