called her liar, and she responded ''you're
another" Then he struck her. She and her
husband were both afraid of List, who al
ways carried a revolver. When her
grandmother came down on We'd
nesday TO take her away she told
Mrs. List that II she had been there
when List struck her grandchild she would
have horsewhipped him. Mrs. List said,
"perhaps you could not have done IL, when
her grandmother said she might have given
Mrs. List some OF it., too. The witness had
been acquainted with the Lists since Octo-
Der, 1882, and the two families had lived
together before. She did not know that
young List and Taylor had ever met before
the day of the shooting. She met her hus-
band at tie corner with wagon, and when
they went into the house previous to start
ing to see Mr.. Poole the persons present
were the old and young man List, Mrs.
Lewis F. List, Mrs. Ella Fell and her uncle,
George b. Taylor. When the quarrel be-
tween her and List occurred on the Monday
evening previous to the shooting he also bad
a child on his lisp, but got up from his chair
to strike her.
At this point the witness was excused and
the court at Is O'Clock adjourned until 10
O'Clock this morning.
The jury were locked up In charge OF the
bAilibs who were instructed to furnish them
with supper and breakfast.
AS the prisoners were leaving the dock
for their cells very affecting scene took
place between Mrs. Lewis List and her hus.
band and son.
The prisoners show plainly the effects of
their imprisonment and both paid particular
atte ention to the proceedings.

Mr.. Meredith took an active part of poll

peared from this county within a short
time, John G. K. Heine, ESQ,
having left mysteriously several weeks
ago, after issuing a number of fraudu-
lent checks, leaving no clue behind. The
disappearance of Meredith has occasioned
considerable comment, as he was supposed
TO have lucrative practice. He is believed
to have collected considerable money for
clients, and for some time past it is said
that he had been endeavoring to
raise money, and some OF his checks
are held by Reading business men.
The missing lawyer lived well and had a
fine residence. His house is closed and his
vile has gone to her parents, Previous to

Such charge would not cost very much II

Loss of the Steamer Manisteo ON Lake

with All on Board.
DULUTH, MIMI, Nov. 21.-The strong
probability now Is that the steamer Manis-
tee is lost with all on board. She left Du
luth on Saturday, the 10th inst but, owing
to the great storm, did not leave Ashland
for OntonagoA until Friday, the 18th, which
was before the storm had wholly abated.
Her crew consisted of 25 persons, and she
had on board 25 passengers. The last ever
seen of her was when she was leaving Ash
land. Two tugs have been searching for
A telegram was received this morning
that the tug Maythan had found part of the
cabin washed ashore some distance above
0ntonagon. Nothing was seen of the Man
istee herself, or of any of her small boats or
OF the crew, and there are great fears that
the steamer has gone down with all on
board.
1t is supposed that the Manistee foundered
IN the severe storm of Friday morning.
The wind was northwest and the mercury
below zero. 1t is not possible that the men
could have lived in q small boat during the
storm.
The following are the names of the officers
of the Mainstee: Captain, John Mckay;
purser, George NJ. Leaton; steward, F. NJ.
Kilby; first mate, Andy Mack; second mate,
Harry Smith; first engineer, Patrick Cullen;
second engineer, John Paine; cook, Edward
Bowden.
Further evidence of the loss of the Main
stee has .een found in the shape of floating
woodwork known to have belonged to the
missing propeller Pieces of charred wood
were also found, leading to the possibility
that the Mainstee may have been burned in.

nent citizen of Ashland, was among the pas

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The chief topic
among the canvassers for the Speakership
ana hotel loungers to-day was the several
lists OF alleged supporters of Carlisle spread
out in the public prints. 1t caused a good
Geal OF amusement among the Cox and
Randall men and was literally torn To
pieces by the political scaipel-wielders.
randall claims at least 30 of the votes
Fills has figuratively given to Car
ilsle. 1t is likewise amusing to outsiders as
showing that formidable number of Com
gressmen have duplicated their pledges and
promised to vote for both Carlisle and Ran
dali. There is good deal of fun to be ex
pected from this by some people who are
not looking for office, but it isn't funny bv
any means to the respective candidates for
Congressional favor,
congressman Ermentrout, of Peunsvlya-
MIA, is very confident of the ground on
which Randall stands. He SAYS everything
goes their way; but then the Carlisle and
Cox men say the same thing. All the can
didates appear to feel buoyantly to-day.
Perhaps this is owing to the fact Of numcr-
GUS arrivals. A large number of Congress-
men came in to-day and were Immediately
oeseiged by friends of the respective candi-
dates and the correspondents, who sought to
know Just how they stood. To-day's trains
brought numerous arrivals besides Con-
gressmen and the hotel corridors began to
wear their usual winter aspect.
Friends OF Mr.. Randall say he Will get In
mis- best licks about three days before the
meeting OF Congress; that If there Is any
need for them he can have delegations of
business men from every section of the coun-
try to assist him In his fight. There ia
nothing about Randall's headquarters to in
dicate that any necessity for such an appeal
is likely 10 arise.
Representative Dibble, of South Carolina,
was among the arrivals here to-day and was
eagerly sought after by the friends of the
various aspirants for the Speakership. Mr..
Dfbble's attention was called to statement
that he had declared against Mr.. Randall
and had announced himself to be a Carlisle
man. He emphatically denied that such
was the case and added that he had worked
hard all the summer In the interest of the
ex-Speaker and had come to Washington
earlier than be had expected to in order to
help elect him. Although he could only
speak Tor himself, he was confident that
when the test was reached Mr.. Randall
