KNEW IT WAS UNSAFE.
CorOner's Investigation into the United
States Hotel Disaster ut Washington.

CorOner's Investigation into the United
States Hotel Disaster at Washington.
WASHINGTON, August 5.-At the coroner
investigation into the United States Hotel
secident testimony was given showing that
Belding, the proprietor of the hotel, had
known for long time that the building
was unsafe and yet never gave word Of
warning to his boarders. The OWL
ers of the building were well aware
of its dangerous condition, but
took no steps for its improvement. The
health officer when he inspected the saai-
tary arrangements Of the hotel found ii en-
tirely unsafe, but Is his examination was Of
q purely sanitary character, he made 10 re-
port upon the balged and crumbhng walls
Two or three year. ago an Insurance com
pany refused to insure the building because
both the east and west walls were sprung.
The Corouer's jury brought in q
verdict in which they say: From
the evidence We believe the building has
been unsafe for long tune and Its condi-
ton was known to both the owners and
Iessees and thai they. particularly the
owners, should be held responsible, and to
that end We respectfully call the attention
of the Distriet Attorney TO the matter Tor
such legal proceedings as the case de-
mARds
The owners Of the building are Judge
Cox, Of the Supreme Court Of the District
and The FaIl2nsbee family The leSsees are

It had been asserted that Blaine was
an abused man and that his enemies
were perstcuting him. If this were so it
was not right, nothing was so distastful to
him (Schurz) as to discuss the character of
any man, but he should not make any
charges against Blaine which had not been
made against himself Mr.. Schurz then
read some of the MuIligan letters and re-
marked that Blaine's friends disliked

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.
The COe-Williams Tragedy Once
More. -
THE WOOD COUNTY eREENsAcKERs
They Repudiate All Former Action and Amid
the Utmost Confusion Nominate
a Straightout Ticket.

PARKERsBURG, August s. Exclusive. !
Another scene in the bloody Coe- Williams
tragedy, which startled the citizens of Wood
county FIVE months ago, is now being en-
acted in the Circuit Court. Walter Coe,
now seventy years old, and his son, John K.
Coe, aged about twenty-five, were indicted
for the murder of Calvin Williams, near
Badgers Mills, this county. The quarrel
it is alleged, grew out of some sighting re-
marks Williams said to have made re-
garding Goes daughter, with whom the
deceased had been on friendly terms,
The fatal meeting occurred on
public highway with no one present
except the two Goes, and their victim.
When Mr.. Deem, who lived near appeared
on the scene, Williams was on the ground
unconscious, the elder Coe kicking the
PROSTATE form. Young Coe was standing
over him with revolver in his hand.
While the evidence is strong against the
accused they claim Williams attempted to
shoot and young COe attempted to disarn
him when the weapon was discharged with
the fatal results already known. The elder,
Walter Coe, was tried last March and
sentenced to six months imprisonment and
fined $500. The prisoner who is young
man, will not escape as lightly::as did the
father whose extreme old age and whitened
locks, appealed to the sympathy Of the pub
lie and probably the hearts Of the jury.
The Eminent Legal
firms OF Hutchison & Yandervort and Leon
ard h Caldwell appeartor the defense. The
State represented BY J. G. Mcclure who
opened the argument to-day in an effective
speech, followed BY D. H. Leonard for the
defense. Arguments will probably con-
sumo two DAYS. Since the noted Paul
trial no case has caused such intense interr

and highly connected, and previous to this
unfortunate tragedy had borne excellent

lived

The Greenback County Convention met
here to-day and nominated a full county
ieket naming none but straightOut old-time
ollowers of Peter Coopers doctrines. All
the Democrats and Republicans whom they
endorsed at a former County Convention
were thrown overheard amid the utmost
confusion. DisafectiOn prevails in the
fusion camp and general stampede would
not surprise any one.

This same opening We traced to the upper

the middle tube where we found this piece

this place we failed to trace the missile.
Did not find the ball. 1t is very evident
that, whatever the missile was, 1t was pro-
jected with sufficient force to pass through
the chest wall, through the entire length of
the upper tube of the right lung and into the
center of the middle tube carrying with it
portion of the clothing. This was sufficient
injury to excite hemorrhage and sufficient
Inflammation TO envolye the entire plura and

The wound was the primary and sufficient
cause of his death. This wound could not
do other than incite the Inflammation de-

Mirret for the Ne,c Orleans Exposition.

1Iillet for the Neic Orleans Exposition.
The editor OF the Grant ReuieaU has visited
the millet fields in that section and reports:
The millet stalk is about three feet high and
resembles corn in many respects, only it is
smaller. The heads are about ten inches
long and very thickly filed. Mr.. Story esti-
mates that he will thresh fully one hundred
bushels from one acre. The millet makes
the finest and most nutritious kind Of feed
for stock, and it is said that it also makes
excellent eating, as cakes, for man as well
as for beast. Mr.. Story's attention was first
directed to this new and wonderful grain
some six years ago on the prairie near Big
Stone lake where some cattle were grazing,
and which they picked out in preference to
grass. He was able to obtain only two or
three heads, the seed of which he planted
the next year in his garden, but the chic k
ems picked and ate it before he knew it. He
again only secured few heads, and the fol-
lowing year planted 1t again and protected 1t
so that he secured the seed. He has since
preserved it until this year ne has raised one
acre of 1t which he will thresh and sell for
seed, at the rate Of 81 so for enough for one
acre. He purposes placing bundles on exhi-
bition at the county fair, and will send speci-
men bundles to the New Orleans exposition.
1t will be well worth the while of farmers to
investigate this new grain, as it certainly
makes the best kind of feed for stock.
