Canton has Streak of Luck ind Wins.
Other Ball News.
The Wheeling team was again defeated
yesterday. This time the reason appears
to have been lack of ability to bat

the game is one that any team can be
proud OF. The feature appears TO have
been Sam Nichols wonderful catch.

ONE EXPLANATION
or tho Mysterious Death of tho HeOsh'S Mt
Chicago.


CHICAGO, August "A new and start
ling phase OF mystery attending the death
of Mr.. and Mrs. Heesh was developed to-
day. The pair were ardent believers in
treatment by electricity. Heesh was a
sufferer from rheumatism and both he
and his wife were in the habit Of taking
electric baths and being treated by cleo
trio appliances. The course OF the in
vestigation at the house OF the dead
couple disclosed an electric battery
charged so heavily that a shock from Il
given by an inexperience hand would
surely produce death. 1t is now sup
posed that on Saturday night after the
Heeshs' reached home and were about
going to bed, having in fact undressed
themselves, Mrs. Heesh asked her hus'
band to treat her with the battery. This
he did and in an unfortunate moment
accidentally turned on the battery at full
strength, giving his wife such q shock
that she fell back dead. Reasoning that
he had been the cause OF her demise the
frantic man took bis own life by hang.

A TGRRIBLE TRAGEDY.

Mysterious Amir.

A Girl Shoots Herself and Her Lovef-A
Mysterious Aiiair.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, August 2.-Shortly
after 8 o'clock this morning May Patton,
of Johnstown, shot and killed John De-
knight, well known young man Of
LaWrenceTille, and then blew her brains
out. The tragedy took place in the Me-
tropolitan Hotel, corner OF Grant street
and Seventh avenue, but the cause will
probably never be known. The couple
called at the hotel at s o'clock this morn-
ing, and Deknight registered as G. Lewis
and wife, OF Johnstown, Pa. They were
given room and nothing more was
heard from them until 0 o'clock, when
the guests were startled by the report Of
two pistol shots in quick succession.
The hotel clerk ran to the room, but the
door was locked and it was necessary to
break it down to effect an entrance. A
terrible sight then met their gaze. On
the floor was DeKnight, dead, with 4
bullet hole in his temple, and lying on
the side OF the bed was the woman, also
dead, with the blood trickling from
wound in her head, and the revolver
still tightly clasped in her hand.
DeKnight was in street attire, but the
woman was en- dishabille. It is sup
posed that they quarreled and that Do
knight was about TO leave the room
when he was shot. Both moved in good
society. The girl was the daughter OF
furniture dealer OF Johnstown and has
always borne n good reputation. She
was quite handsome and about twenty
years of age. DeKnight was Pullman
car conductor and lived with his par
ents in Lawrenceville. He was about
twenty-four years Of age, and in search
ing the room letter was found from the
girl. 1t was addressed to Jesse Thurlow,
Huntington, Pa, and stated that she
was going to commit suicide. The let
ter is now in the hands OF the police
authorities.

him for divorce on grounds Of cruelty.
The wronged wife's sister. young girl Of
20, was the principal witness for the pros
ecution, and Gen. Butler succeeded In an.
gering her by sharp and irritating cross
examination. After many Interruptions
the witness said that the defendant had
been seen to shy book at his wife's
head" "Shyf Shy booki What do
you mean by thatf Will you explain to
the court what the word shy means?
The young girl leaned over the railing and
asked her sisters counsel for copy Of
"Cushing's Manual" which lay on the
desk before him She hurled the volume
at Gen Buffers head with all the force
she could command. 1t was good shot,
and had not Butler OWNED her purpose In
time 1t would undoubtedly have hit the
mark Il think the court now under
stands the meaning Of the word shy,
said the judge, and the girl was allowed
to finish her testimony without further
iuteryUption.
