Senator Jones' Infatuation for Michigan
Eeiress-Rej ected by the Lady He Asks
the Intorcession of Church officials.
DETROIT, Mich, March 2.-The story of
United States Senator Jones singularly per-
sistent pursuit of Miss Clotilde Palms,
whose hand he seeks in marriage, has so
turned as to make it common property.
The facts are thus related by gent enan
who is acquainted with them minutaly:
Three years ago ex-Nayor Thompson, wlsle
on pleasure trip East, met Senator Jones
for Tae 4r5t tin2 at the Ocean House,
Newport. Jones seemed a good fellow, bright
and somewhat intellectual, and Mfr. I1omp
son, in an ofhand, Hospitality way, invited
him to visit hin in Detroit and see how he
ran things as mayor OF the city. Jones VS.
tied Detroit, and during q social evening ut
the mayors home was introduced to Miss
Palms. He was a widoWer and United
States Senator. She had youth and money.
He was sinitton. week after he called upon
the young lady. summary proposed marrl-
age, and was as summary rejected. I'M
derst4luG from relatives thar he never had
another interview W tn her. However, he was
not disnayed 81 her refusal, and continued
10 prosecute mis- suit by letter. After he left
the city the young lady was fairly inundated
with love letters. and don't think | ex2gger-
ate much when / say she received from
washington nearly q ton OF the Sena-
tors speeches delivered during his Twelve
years in the Senate. Early last June the Sem
atOr revisited Detroit to again prosecute his
suit in person. He called constantly 1T the
house, but never found Miss Palms at home
20 hin. His opportunities continued with re.
leatleSs perseverance until two months ago,
when her father forbade him ever enter
ing the house But the most astonishing
part OF the peI2ecution-for such
/ must call it-remains to be told. Miss Palms
is d stanch Roman Catholic. Tde Senator BE-
longs to the same faith. Now. refused b. the
yOung lads herself, he seeks the assistance
of the Church. just think of it, N0tcontent
with quarrGsing with two priests, whom he Of
Tended by the bare suggestion of their in
terference, he quietly appealed to no less
august personage than the Rt. Rev. Bishop
Borgess.. The Bishop was appalled,, and bis
answer to a letter from the Senator was one
of the most scDTcIElg replies ever penned.
Throughout the whole affair the lady has con-
Quoted herself witR t9e same quiet womanly
dignity that has FACED her everyday lie.
She Is keenlY mortified at the nOtoriety tho
Senator'S opportunities have thrush upon her.
There is no truth in the story that Senator
Jones was sniGten with a widow. His only
love affair-one-sided to be sure-was the one
/ have told.
Miss Palms is the daughter OF Francis
Palms, who is commonly reputed to be the
weaithiest man in Michigan. He is long
past seventy years. and his fortune of
S12, 900, 900 to S15, 900, 900 is likely to go
in bulk to the daughter whom the snitten
Senator has 50 long pars'Ied.

Mills Near Xenia, O.--Disastrous Effect
of the Catastrophe in the Region Round
About.
XENTA, O., March "A terrible explosion
occurred at the works of the Miami Pow,

o'clock. The lighthouse, containing fifty
thousand pounds OF powder, in whith

aged thirty-fv and Henry Franklin, aged

was found of either of the bodies. A horse
standing near the mill was instantly killed,
and a heavy car to which it was attached
carried distance OF five hundred feet and
landed on the opposite side of the Miami
river. All OF the buildings at the mills were
injured, some entirely demolished. Many
| farm-houaes for miles about had all the
window-glass broken, and in some cases were
unroofed. The house and barn of Andrew
Holland, one mile from the mills, was COM
| pletefy demolished, and several of the fam
lily seriously injured, one daughter perhaps
fatally Mrs. John Cromwell, sister of
Sheriff Linkhart, who lived in d small
house about half a mile from the mills, was
at home with five children. The windows
and doors were all smashed
i'll, the furniture all destroyed, and
Mrs. Cromwell hurled to the floor
and one of her arms broken. About
dozen persons sustained injuries, but
none OF them fatal The road from this
city to the mills, distance OF five miles, is
marked with evidences of the explosion
In every house along the route all the VIM
dow-glass is broken out. The shock in
this city was terrible. The people were
| thrown from chairs, and in many ms tances
sustained injuries.
| This is the most destructive explosion
that has occurred at the works for years,
and at this time it is impossible to esti-
mate the loss OF the company, but it will
| be very heavy. The loss on private prop.
ertv is also very extensive, and will be Up
| in the thousands.
| Specials to the afternoon papers from
many points in Ohio and Kentucky re-
/ ported the explosion as a shock OF earth

TIE month of March is usually the
most trying upon delicate constitutions
of any month of the year. 1t is diff

of rooms to suit the weather, and colds
and fatal diseases often result. School
rooms and public halls especially fail
in the requirements Tor health in these
particulars, and too great care can not
be exercised.

Notwithstanding the fact that we were her,
soliciting your trade long before the advent O
railroads; and Notwithstanding the fact thai
We thereby made it possible for you % buy
stoves at prices that were established prior to
the coming of said railroads; we beg to say
that we cannot, for our part, interpret these
facts as an evidence of our inability to supply
your wants in the stove line at the present
time, and at prices that will favorably COM
pare with any that will be named by any of
our competitors who may have arrived since
the advent of such railroads. We wish, there
fore, to impress upon your minds the fact that
We will POSITIVELY sell stoves cheaper than
any other house in Idaho. We therefore ask
you to call and examine our superior stock and
get our prices before buying elsewhere. We
carry the only 6rst-class stock in this section,
and propose to meet all competition more than
haii way. r. X. COFFIN & Bro.

The Wood River Times says that a man
named Childs fell down the Camas No. 2
shaft from the surace-a distance of I25 feet
landing on his head and shoulders. He
was raised to the surface and DR.. Mckay sent
for, when the man was found to have suffered
severe internal injuries, the right side Of the
pelvis being smashed, and the scalp torn from
the forehead to the back OF the head. He was
ordered brought to the county hospital to-day,
where he will be properly taken care of; but
it is not expected he will recover. The acct
dent occurred while dumping the bucket at the
surface, Childs being the shaft tender. As the
bucket came up, Childs caught it by the hook
underneath to dump it, and turned his back to
the shaft. The ring having been fastened by
a staple instead Of a king-bolt, the staple WIS
pulled out, and Childs lost his balance and
fell down the shaft.
