ALL SHOULD VOTE,

1t seems that the controversy over
the question as to whether indepen-
dent school districts should vote on
the county school supefintendency
remains yet unsettled, authorities
being divided on the question. TIE
TIMES is of the opinion that in the
light of such facts, the better way
out Of the difficulty is the most just
and reasonable way, and that the
whole county vote on the question
of superintendent. All are taxed
to pay the bills aud the tax payers
in the Independent districts of the
county are fully as competent to
judge of the merits of a man and
his work us any others and they GER
tainly have as great interest in see
ing justice done as any other sec
tion of the county. No candidate.
it seems to us should find fault with
this feature Of popular representa-
ttion, since all share in the taxa
ton, and general reputation and
prosperity of the county,

Of what has been reported 20 be a wholesale
poisoning case. Rumors that from eight 10

confirmed. As near as could be learned
fourteen Of the twcnty-siX men were takn sick

Pretty and a Bigamist.

wILKEsBANRE, Pa, July l3.-The cham
pion female ~bigamist has turned up here. She
is a book agent, and says her home is In st.
Louis. She is q years old and good looking.
1t is said she has married not less than twelve
men In as many different places. When she
arrived In a town she would find plenty of
men who would make love to her. The wo-
man would insist on marriage, and then get
her husband to loan her 800 to send to her
sick mother. After she got the money she
woul1 take the next train out Of town. About
a month ago she married w. H. Evans, of
Hszleton. She got $3.50 out of him, and then
fed to this city. Evans arrived here yester-
day looking for her. Today another husband,
Albert Thomas, from the west, turned up.
He was looking for the woman too. When
she married him she also got $3.50. Her cor

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE statement that
the cruiser Atlanta is to be put in repair for
foreign service has excited a great deal OF
interest among navy officers, especially be-
cause the proposed alterations will make her
an effective fighting craft. The officials at
the navy department deny all knowledge of
her destination, but 1t is rumored at the de-
partment that she will go to the Pacific sta
ton, which has already been strengthened by
the recent addition OF the Nipsic and the
Dolphin to the fleet. The reasons given for
this show Of strength in the Pacific that the
promoters OF American railroads and kindred
enterprises in Peru and South American coun-
tries have asked for the presence Of a strong
fleet on the coast to support the United States
c~onsuls, il necessary, with a decided show OF
naval strength In the protection OF American
interests.

NEW YORK, July - Considerable interest
was excited yesterday in betting circles by
the announcement that a bona ide wager had
been made on the presidential election, and
That the odds were two 10 one for Cleveland.
Loungers ~ the Hoffman and Other hotels
and clubs were inclined to doubt Il at first,
ON the ground that the time 'u not vet ar
rived for positive betting. Nevertheless It
was actually developed that John /. Mahoney,
the retired bookmaker, well known for heavy
election bets, had made a wager Of $40. 900
with +. 7. Houghton against $4,000
that Cleveland would be elected prosi-
dent. Houghton is also a well known rae
Ing betting man. Mshoney was anxious to
bet, and happening TO be with Berry Wall,
was told 10y the latter that uoughton wished
to bet. He looked him up, and 1t was ar
ranged quietly IN a brokers office. Broker
Lewis and Berry Wall were present as wit
nesses to the agreement made In writing and
held 10y Luclus Q. Appleby. Mahoney has
been uniformly successful In his election bets.
He won $4,000 on bets that Henry George
would receive over G5,CO0 votes when he ran
for mayor, and other instances of his sagacity
are related. II was currently reported today
that Burton, the bookmaker, had placed $l0,-
600 on Cleveland at odds OF 10 TO 6, the
amount covering several bets with local and
western men.

A Victim of Foul PLAY.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, July 12.-The body Of sn
unknown woman was found this morning in
the river opposite the waterwOrks IA mile
above the city. The location and conditions
were almost identical with those attending
the finding Of a mans body iast night. The
woman's throat was cut In the same way, the
feet were bound together and a huge stone
attached % the body as 4 sinkcr. The body
had on a skirt, a basque and a pair OF stock
ings, all OF cheap material. IT was that Of a
person about 20 years old, and had short
brown hair. The features were so distorted
by decomposition that they can afford little
help In Identification. Both eyes are washed
out. The coroner held an inquest on the
bodies this morning, but developed no new
facts. A farmer reported in Jacksonville
this morning that a man and his wife were
missing from d shsnty boat lying near
Charlestown landing on the Indiana side,
fourteen miles above the city, and Sheriff
Shay, of Jacksonville, has gone up to inves
tigatp,

Sixty days. Demand

There are apparently nc causes operating to
restrict steady progress excepting the expect
ed dullness incident TO a presidential cam
paign. Crop prospects are encouraging, loan
able funds ample, public confidence good, and
the general situation healthy.
Hogs-With light receipts at the principal
market the prices OF hogs have advanced
steadily during the week, making a net gain
at diocese per 100 lbs. The prices for prime
hogs now touch &c In Chicago. Taking the
grades into consideration the prices are very
favorable to shippers. While heavier receipts
are likely to break prices the packers are now
prepared better than ever to take all the hogs
that arrive.
Cattle-Good stock continues In demand
and the trade shows a steady increase, al.
though thin common cattle have sold slowly,
and In some cases at a considerable discount
from the general range Of prices. The market
for feeders has been strengthened a little OF
late by quiet purchases, but the demand In
this direction is not heavy. The prospects
tend toward a fair business on a steady mar
ket.
SHEEP-Are well held; the comparatively
low range Of prices has checked receipts and
our view expressed last week that the lowest
prices for sheep had been reached Is borne out
by the steadincss Of the market.
The grain and produce markets remain
steady at prices quoted, and the demand lie
good for MI kinds Of produce.

STATE OF

CHICAGO, July ll.-There has been a grad
ual broadening OF the money market the past
week, after the special demand Of the first
few days Of the month was satisfied. Moth
ing particularly striking has been developed,
but the legitimate interests have absorbed
more capital than it is ordinarily expected
ments have also exceeded expectations, and
bankers In the country tributary to this
market have called upon their Chicago cores
pondents for assistance more freely than is
usual IN July. A disposition To provide for
the future has been noticed among the
shrewdest borrowers here and a good many of
them have gotten accommodations through
July and August at 5 per cent; only The
choicest collaterals for short time loans now
command at that rate, and many OF the banks
decline to take anything below 6 per cent.
This is a fair indication Of the strong position
It speaks volumes for the condition Of general
trade. Currency movements are still light
through the west, though there is some money
going out all the time to the winter wheat
sections. Eastern exchange sold Saturday al
par early, and al % cents per 81 900 premium
later. Sellers were asking i0050c premium
late in the day. Foreign exchange ruled quiet
and steady as follows:

ZaCnar Takes Food at Last.

RACINE, Wis, July 13.-After total
abstinence from food for ilty-three days
John Zachar, the CALIFORNIAN wondcr, y
has at last been pgIsuadcd 10 take u
isAmcnt, and wil! now use every effort 10
live. just fifty three days ago he left his
home and went 10 the house Of q friend
on the Milwaukee, road SIX miles south OF
this city. There he lived, determined 10
starve himself TO death. All efforts
10 induce him 10 eat proved Of no avail.
For iitiy-tArCe days everything known to
the medical profession was used 10 induce
IN appetite, but TO no purpose. Friends
endeav0red in every imaginable way TO
get him to take food, but he positively
refused sustenance Of any kind. Trickcry
was rcsorted to, but this was also abort
i've. For "a long time Il was not known
what was the matter with him. the cause
of his strange actions bein- ascribed TO
an affection Of the brain, but
this proves To have been n mistake.
Iachcr and his father had some |troublc,in
reference to the division of property or
wages. They could not agree, and Iacher
being of a morbid disposition, determined
% starve himself. During all the time
his father had not been to see him, and
apparently cared nothing about his case.
Today an old friend of the family ar
ranged a meeting between them. The
father went TO the friends house this
afternoon, and the scene between them
was very affecting. They fell
nto each others arms aud wept
for a long time. Then ,hcir matters
of difference were discussed and an I'M
Outstanding had. The conference lasted
over an hour, and when il was finished
Iachar declared that he wanted TO live.
Some milk was then given him, and he
has been taking small quantities since.
This he does not retain, but ii is thought
that with proper care he will be brought
about all right. Physicians here do not
place much credit in his fast, and say
they think he can now be saved. Zachar
now weighs ninety pounds. ana ut the
commencement of his fast weighed $50.

BUFFALO, July 13.-Amy Reynolds a pretty
variety actress, was accused by her husband,
Dennis Mccarthy, a low comedian, with firt-
ing more than she should. They were both
playing last night at the Theatre Comique.
After the show Mccarthy renewed his accuse
tions and became very angry. Then he went
away and filed up on whisky, going to their
apartments al IS Swan street. II have made
up my mind TO Kill you and then kill myself
sad Mccarthy, exhibiting a 30 calibre revol.
yer. The girl who is only 10, but has been
married two years, demonstrated but with no
effect. Mccarthy fired at her as she was leav-
ing the room, the bullet entering her back.
As she threw herself down stairs her husband
sent another bullet Into her thigh; then he
fired al his own head making a flesh wound.
Mccarthy stopped firing when two men ran
into the hall. He came around another way,
ordered the men out, and asked his wife
what allied her. She replied; you shot me-"
"No didn't'' said he. He leaned over the
PROSTATE girl as she groaned with pain kissed
her tenderly and whispered to her not to ties
tify against him. She would not promise.
an hang! I'll hang,r moaned Mccarthy as
he clinched his hands and waved his arms.
Then he sought to escape, but was detained
until the police came. He relapsed into a
drunken stupor at the station and refused to
make a statement, although he suggested ieal-
ousy as the cause. At the Emergency hospi-
tai the girl told her dying story to the coro-
ncr. She added: 81 gave him no cause or
prevocation. He has attempted to kill me
three times, all within three weeks. These
black and blue marks on my face and my cut
lip are from his beating me last Sunday"
At last accounts the girl was still alive.
