The Noted HuMOrist Suddenly Dies
in His Chair.
MONTEREY, Cal, Oct. 14.-H. W.
Shaw, better known as "Josh Billings"
died at 10 o'clock this morning of apo
plexy. The body will be embalmed and
sent east. About 10 o'clock this
morning DR.. Heintz was summoned
to attend Mr. Shaw, who was
sitting in chair in the vestibule,
apparently enjoying the best of health.
When the physician arrived he complained
OF severe pain III his chest and remarked:

and added, throwing back his long hair,
''but you can see l do not have to work my
brain for simple lecture. 1t comes spon-
taneously." While he was talking he
suddenly threw his hands over his head and
fell backwards unconscious. He was
carried to his room and at the end of three
minutes life was extinct. His wife, who
accompanied him ON his trip to the Pacific
coast, was with him during his last mo-

lot. Allen O. Myers Democrat) is defeated
in Franklin county by 1,300 votes.
COLUMBUS, o.. Oct. 14.-Unofficial re-

hackers. on a total vote of over 100000.
The legislature is Republican on
joint ballot without the fourteen
members from Hamilton county by at least
five and possibly nine, but without Hamil-
ton county the senate would likely have
one Democratic majority. With Hamilton
county the Republicans would have thirty
three majority on joint ballot and work

Comments of the Eastern Press.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-The Eastern
press is very chary of its remarks about the
Ohio election. Especially is this true of
the Democratic newspapers The Balti-
more Sun Is silent on the subject. The
New York World merely remarks in double
leads that Ohio has gone Republican by
20, 600, that the legislature is Republican,
and that the Prohibitionists have increased
their vote at the expense of both parties.
1t remarks i'll an editorial paragraph that
Coal Oil Meyers will not be painfully
missed. The New York Sun remarks that
Ohio usually gives a Republican majority
and there was no reason to expect it to do
otherwise this time. The Philadelphia
Times says:
If Hoadly had only been smitten by malaria
and sent out Of the state, as was done two
years ago, he might have been elected. As
it was, however, he drove many Democrats
to the Prohibition party by his ill-timed
course.
The New York Herald says:
Ohio has returned to her normal condition,
being naturally Republican state.
1t says the legislature is much in doubt
and if it should be Democratic it would be
a rebuke to Sherman'S attempt to revive
sectionalism, but would be costly one if it
should result in McLeans election to the
senate and adds:
The choice of u Republican legislature will
save the state from this threatened discredit
The Washington Post says:
If the result in Ohio surprises no one
more than it does us, nothing even family
approaching sensation will be impaired to
the country by the news this morning. Care
full readers of the Post, moreover, will un-
derstand that our regret is about as poignant
as our astonishment. When it became evl-
dent to us that a Democratic victory in Ohio
| would result in the aggandizement of Gov.
Hoadly and Mr.. John Mclean, and in renewed
lndignity to Mr.. Sherman, we concluded that
such victory was not only impracticable, but
undesirable. The combination of Hoadly and
Mclean, at the expense of Thurman, was
enough to doom the cause.

A Whole Parish in Danger.

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 14.-During the
past few weeks great bitterness has existed
in the French church of St. Joachim, in
Detroit, over the displacement of Father
Laporte and the appointment of Father
Dangelzer a Belgian, by Bishop Borgess..
The congregation demanded that the
bishop should give them French Canadian
priest. The bishop has not yet rendered a
formal decision. Talk of going
to law and also of appealing
to Rome has been indulged in. Last night
affairs came to a crisis by six ma sked men,
with cooked revolvers, driving the Belgian
priest and his assistant from the rectory,
and obliging them to dump their personal
effects into an express wagon waiting at the
door. There is intense excitement to-day
among the Catholics of Detroit 1t is gen.
orally believed that when the bishop re-
turns from Cardinal McCloskey's funeral
at New York he will excommunicate the
parties directly concerned, and perhaps the
whole parish.

Strange Occurrence ON Lake Erie.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Get. IA singular
and surprising coincidence was noticeable
on Lake Erie yesterday. The strong east
wind which was blowing here lowered the
water two feet at this end of the lake so
that the work of loading crafts with coal in
the Blackwell canal had to be suspended.
At Toledo the wind blew gale from the
west and the Maumee river dropped two
feet below the level and the steam barge
Drake could not leave that port ON account
of low water. The two currents must have
met somewhere off Port Stanley, Ont. So
from that point to the American shore there
must have been hill of water of at least
four feet in height. Such thing has never
before been known ON the lakes.

bushels is acceded to. AS this is next tC
impossible the pool may be considered as
completely broken.

general has decided that the department is
under no obligations to deliver mail matter
thrown into its collection boxes by the
Wells-Fargo express after they have can
celed stheir stamps, and postmasters have
been instructed to refuse such matter. 1t
appears that it has been the practice of the
express company to transport letters as far
as their lines extend, and then place them
in the United States mail for delivery when
the point of destination is beyond the limits
of their service.

Possibilities About Apaches.

Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Secretary Endi-
colt states to-day that no decision had been
reached Oh the question of removing the
Apaches from Arizona to Indiany Territory.
The secretary says that so long as the
Apaches behave themselves they are under
the custody of the interior and not the war
department, though the agent at San Carlos
reservation is an army officer.
The war department has only police
or disciplinary powers in case of bad
conduct 1t might, if this bad conduct be-
came general, remove the whole tribe from
their reservation, but their location in the
Indian Territory would be a matter for the
secretary of the interior to decide. From
other sources, however, it is learned that
if the hostile Apaches should come in OF
be captured they would not be returned to
their reservation. and probably the whole
tribe will be removed to the Indian Terri
tory before long.

Nellie GRANTS MA trimonial trouble.


GALENA, ILL.,, Oct. 14.-The story of an
alleged estrangement between Nellie Grant
Sartoris and her husband, Alegeron, is be-
lieved by friends of the family here; in
deed, there are one or two persons in Ga
lena who claim to have received intimations
from Mrs. Grant that her daughters matri-
monial lot was an unhappy one. Mr.. and
Mrs. Sartoris have virtually lived apart dur
ing the past five years, the latter having
passed most of the time very quietly with
her children in Germany and Italy, while
her husband has been roaming about from
place to place with no settled habitation.
The reported escapade of Sartoris,
a few years ago when he came over to this
country to look after some of his fathers
property at Green Bay, and about which the
papers had great deal to say at the time
is known here to have disgusted the general
and his wife with their son-in-law, and
made a breach between Mr.. and Mrs. Sar-
toris that nothing can heal 1t is thought,
however, that Nellie has gone back to Eng
land with determination to faithfully per-
form her duties as wife and mother as she
always has done. and that she will make no
effort to secure the custody of her children
with view to bringing them to the United
States and separating them permanently
from their father.

Dangerous Counterfeiters CaugE


PITTsBURG, Pa. Oct. 14.-Government
Agent Sweeney and three deputies brought
to this city tonight four more of the gang
of counterfeiters who had been operating
the northwestern counties for long time.
The arrests have broken up the band. The
ringleaders are in custody in this
city, and another arrest was made
this afternoon. In all, eleven of
its shrewdest criminals who have operated
in Western Pennsylvania are pretty sure
to remain residents of the penitentiary for
some years to come. The names taken of
those now in the Central stations are:
Boston Buck. Louis Whitmore, Saul Secust,
Ed Harman and Ben Tarr, manufacturers
of bogus coin, and George Buck, William
Secrist, Ed Groner, Bert Buck and George
Sechrist, wholesale dealers. Boston Buck
is the leader of the gang. Their mills. :"
as the officers call their places of manu-
facture, were in mysterious places in the
hills and for months they manufactured
all denominations OF silver from a
ten-cent piece to dollar, and
''shoved" them in Clarion, JEFF
ferson, Armstrong, Indiana, Butler
Warren, Forest, Mexican, Elk and ether
counties They had a complete system,
and probably considered themselves safe
from detection. They had signs, signals
and grips, and when a customer came to
purchase the ''queer' he would be taken up
into the woods and, with gun at his head
and his hands raised. forced to swear never
to divulge their secrets. Probably dozen
wholesale dealers worked with the gang
captured, and hundreds of showers passed
bogus coin off onthe public.
