The Supposed Murderer of Granvill,
Loomis Arrested I'm Wisconsin.

TOLEDO, o., June 19.-In the Plain
Dealer of the 10Th of May last an ac-
count was given of the discovery of the
body of n murdered man at Stony
Ridge, Wood county, o. Who after
wards proved to be that of Granville
G. Loomis, of Ashtabula county.
Sheriff George NJ. Brown of Wood co.
at once entered upon a systematic
search for the murderer, which resulted
in the arrest at Fall Creek, Wis, yester-
day of Arthur G.. Grover, the supposed
murderer. Grover formerly lived in
the wild and remote section where he
was arrested and owned large tract of
land there. He is 2S or 30 years of age,
and is notoriously hard character
wherever he Is known, of a coarse and
brutal nature, and very fond of boasting
of his dark deeds and exploits.
Grover succeeded in forming the ac-
quaintance of the unfortunate man,
Loomis, at 0rville, Astabula county,
and, being fellow boarders at the hotel
there, they became quite intimate.
ThroughGrover's influences the scheme
was secretly concocted that Loomis
should start from Orville with the horse
and blackboard which he owned and car
ry with him all his personal effects, and
also O small sum of money which he
had deposited in the bank at Ashtabula
Leaving his landlord and few others
in the lurch for sundry small unpaid
bills, Loomis secretly started west, ac-
cording to plan, and Grover, in order to
avert suspicion, joined him at some
place previously agreed upon, their OBJ
jective point being the remote section
in Wisconsin where Grover owned the
tract of land. Just previous to starting
Grover had foolishly stated, in his
boasting way, to one or two of his COM
panions that his intention was to 'leave
Loomis on the road," and used other
similar expressions, which will weigh
heavily against him as testimony when
he comes to be tried for the murder of
his trusting companion.
The murdered man had life insur-
ance policy of s., 900, and whether any
scheme had been concocted by Grover
to obtain possession of it remains to be
developed. The murderer had rifed
Loomis' pockets of whatever money,
papers and other effects they might have
contained. The exact measurments
have been preserved of the tracks found
in the oatsfield with those of the mur-
dered man, and If they are found to fit
the bottoms of Growers boots the fact
will aid materially in proving his guilt,

WOMEN TO OPPOSE FORAKER.
The Christian Temperance Union De
clare War Against Ohio RepubIi-


CLEVELAND, o., June 16.-The State
Convention of the Ohio Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union unanimously
agreed to oppose the Republican party,
and particularly Mr.. Foraker, who won
their disapproval by running on the
liquor tax platform two years ago and
consenting to run on similar platform
this year. Forty-eight of the delegates.
although voting to oppose the Republi-
cans, We're opposed to the resolution
committing the union to lend its aid to
the Prohibitionists. The Republicans
are very indignant, and have dubbed
the union the Democratic Aid Society.
Several of the union delegates who
were opposed to going back on the Re
publicans were actuated by the fear
that itwould cut off much fthe revenue
which the organization has heretofore
obtained.
"We realize that such will be the re-
suit said Miss Pugh, the Secretary
and Treasurer, Shut If we are ever to ret
anything we must get it through votes.
The representatives of the old parties
who go to the Legislature, be they ever
SO ardent temperance men, will not dare
go beyond the platform of their parties,
and hence we have decided to our ut
most to lend our aid to the Prohibition
lists and to oppose the Republicans this
fall. We will prosecute All active cam
paiga."

Building Boom in Napole on
While the prospect for the erection

might be, or as other seasons have
been, there will be more than the usual
number decorated outside and inside

tensive improvements made on those

Pain as Related to MeteOrolOgy.

1t is generally known that depression
of spirits and rheumatic pains have
long been associated with a falling
barometer and storm-brewing condi-
tions - unusually severe neuralgia
attacks coinciding with unusually in
tense storm development. To establish
in his own case this relation of pain
and weather. Captain Catlin, of the
United States army, made regular
and detailed record, in connection with
the weather variations, of the varia-
tions of his neuralgia pains. From the
published account, Captain Catlin's $
foot was crushed by shot in 1864, and
it was necessary to amputate his leg
below the knee. He continued to expert
ence sensations of pain, as if in the lost
member, these sensations being greater
or less according to the atmospheric
disturbances. Arranged in months,
March naturally took the lead as a
pain producer; then came, in order,
January, November, December, May,
February, April. August, October,
September, July and June. He traced
the average distance of the storm GEN.
ter at the beginning of the pain attack
by investigating sixty well defined
storms in ten consecutive months; it
was $50 miles, ranging from two to
1900 miles.

Lightning in the Tropics.

In the plains of India at the COM
mencement of the monsoon storms
occur in which the lightning runs like
snakes all over the sky at the rate of
three or four flashes in a second, and
the thunder roars without break for
frequently, one or two hours at time.
During twelve years residence in India
! heard of only two human beings.and.
l think, three buildings, being struck,
although in parts of Lower Bengal the
population amounts to more than 600
to the square mile. always attributed
the scarcity of accidents to the great
depth of the stratum of heated air next
the ground keeping the clouds at such
a height that most of the flashes pass
from cloud to cloud, and very few
reach the earth. This idea is support
ed by the fact that, in the Himalayas,
at 5000 feet or more above the sea,
buildings and trees are frequently
struck. Ihave seen more than dozen
pine-trees which have been injured by
lightning on the top of one mountain
between 5000 and 5000 feet high. In
the British Islands thunderstorms are
said to be more dangerous in Winter
than in Summer, and such a fact, if
true, can be explained by the very thin
stratum of air then intervening between
the clouds and the earth.-Nature.

said Greeley, mo. You're a fraud;

Of woe. As they turned away Greeley
said to Sanderson, That was the right
way to deal with the fellow, wasn'tit?''
Yes" said Sanderson, ''of course it
was" But Greeley was not satisfied.
Before they had gone half a block he
turned round with, Il wonder whether
the fellows still there?' He was.
Greeley walked back part way, and
called him. The fellow came. There"
said Greeley, II guess you're fraud,
but take that" thrusting bill into his
hand. The fellow was profuse in his
thanks. Greeley stopped them and re-
turned to his companion. You didn't
give that fellow anything?" demanded
Sanderson. Yes" said Greeley, Il
did. Twas just darned fool enoug Oh to

Princess Sally.

Sarah Winnemucca, daughter of old
Chief Winnemucca, of the Flute tribe
of Indians, is now a thoroughly civil
lied woman. She has lived in Boston
and has written book. In Nevada
and California, where she is well known,
she is called Princess Sally. There
used to be very pretty romance con-
nected with Sarah's marriage 10 an
army Lieutenant named Bartlett, who
was stationed near the reservation IN
Nevada occupied by her tribe. Sarah
was then a real Indian and made no
pretense to style. She was also con-
siderably younger than she is now. The
story was that old Winnemucca con-
templated massacre of the whites and
that he compelled his charming daugh-
ter to enter into the plot. She knew OF
Lieutenant Bartlett's fondness for her
and she conditioned their marriage on
his betraying the soldiers and joining
her father. This it is said he agreed to
do, and one night while he, Winnemuc-
ca and the girl were in conference the
Lieutenant's commanding officer ap-
peared on the scene, charged him with
y,
it. So much confusion was caused by
this episode that the plot was abandon
ed. But Sarah and the Lieutenant
were duly married.
The Princess knocks the romance out
of this anecdote by telling the truth as
follows: "Once Captain Wagner, in
charge of the reservation, went away,
leaving Lieutenant Bartlett in charge.
As soon as he found himself alone Bart
lett got drunk and at the end of a week
he became possessed of the idea that
the Indians were going to massacre
him. He rode around like a madman,
shouting and shooting, and it was with
the greatest difficulty that he could be
Quieted. Some of his soldiers finally
got him to bed, and when he sobered
off he was all right. l married him at
ter that"

A Hint to the NihiliSts.

1t is remarkable what bad shots these
nihilists are. Here, they have fired,
first and last, about four and a half
pounds of bullets at the present czar
and the Emperor William; but instead
of turning those well-known parties in
to portable lead mines, no particular
harm has been done. Not so much as
a two-bit watch crystal has been brok-
en-, so far, and the public-particular
the newspaper fraternity-is getting
tired of so many miscues, especially as
the socialists, dynamiters and internal
machine builders are selling equally
low in the pools. 1t is about time some
body made a record, and, in this con-
nection, we are glad to notice that
Captain Bogardus and DIR. Carver are
about making tour of Europe. Com
munists and other dissatisfied stock
holders could hardly do better than
avail themselves of the services of these
excellent marksmen. 1t takes an Amer
lean to shoot straight, after all. Their
terms are reasonable, and they could
be relied upon to watt to happier land
than ours at least forty-tive monarchs
out of a possibly fifty, on an average
dukes. prime ministers and heirs appar-
ent in proportion. We don't see how
the nihilists can make any progress

have one, all about it at once. Ten to

wit of women has been praised, but her
