terrific wind storm, and the air was filed
with fine snow and the frost had an eager

sunshine add life and beauty to the broad,

the bountful harvest. But change is

to crafty morbid curiosity by seeing the man
who had literally chopped his aged wife to
death. The prisoner is man below med.
ium stature, of slight build and would weigh
about l4O pounds, and was poorly dressed.
His long hair and full beard were white with
age and hs looked ny,hing but murderer.
In fact there was an cir Of simplicity and
innocence about the gray haired fend that
would make one seriously disbelieve that he
WAS the author of such . crime. After o
short time spent in the Sheriff S office. the
prisoner was lodged in the Jail and assigned
a separate cell. His son Hiram desires the
father speedy prosecution and punishment,
which will undoubtedly be either hanging or
a life sentence The latter would scarcely
be adequate punishment for the grea, crime,
as the prisoner has but few years to live q,
best, though this may be his sentence on
account of his years. The murderer is Of
German descent and native Of York state,
having been married 30 years. He has two
widowed daughters At Rockford, and one son
as formerly stated The family are in poor
circumstances. On Wednesday the body
was brought to Rockford for in,crmcnt Mr.
Stevenson says that he has resided in The

was the first murder in that vicinity.

Of testimony yesterday morning.
Dr.. @. 5. Ford inspector of gas meters
etatod that ha mover INSPECTED meters after
being placed in The residence OF consumers
unless complaint was made. AZ a rough estl.
mate he would say that he inspected nm aver
age OF $50 meters per annum, as about that
number OF, complaints are made. Of thenum-
bcr inspected he would say that about two.
thirds are found to register fast, or TO register
more gas than Is consumed; n large majority
OF the meters inspected are found TO register
fast. There arc 1850 consumers Of gas here.
He did not see why the water and coal gases
here should not mix mechanically. He had
not found that the gas was of better illuminat-
ing quality early In the evening than late at
night. He much preferred coal TO water gas,
but thought the mixture nnswerable for COM
merclal purposesS but, the mixture IL not as
healthy as either pure coat or pure water gas.
lie said that the smoke which escaped from
the burners was detrimental TO health. There
were not as many complaints when pure coal
gas was used
