The sad intelligence was received in
this city yesterday (Wednesday) OF
the death of Mrs. A. w. Alcorn, who's e
serious illness we noticed last week.
In accordance with the advice of coun-
sci, she was conveyed to the hospital,
in Cleveland, last Friday. An opera
tion, which gave the only hope of pro-
longing her life, was satisfactorily
performed on Sunday, inspiring hope
of her recovery. A fever soon devel-
oped, which in her weakened condi-
ton. found her an easy prey to its raw
ages, the end coming at 5 o'clock in
the morning. Her remains were
conveyed to her home in this city on
the 8 o'clock train, Wednesday. The
funeral hour has not been set at the
time we go 10 press.
Death could scarcely have chosen one
whose presence and activities in all
church and society christian benevo
lences will be so greatly missed. The
bereaved companion and sorrOwipg-
relatives have the sympathy of large
circle of friends, to whom she they
mourn were greatly endeared.

John B, Curtis.

The sad intelligence of the sudden
demise of our late townsman, John B.
Curtis, who, in a fit of insanity, took
his own life, at the Grand Central Ho-
tel, New York City, was telegraphed
here on Thursday last. Mr. Curtis
had been lahoriug under melancholy
and dependency ever since the death
of his wife, who. it will be remember
Ell, met her death by being thrown
from buggy by runaway horse two
years ago. Mr.Curtis was we'll known
among the older residents of Ravenna
having chosen the fairest daughter
from our midst. Miss Eliza Slough, in
marriage. He was then a conductor
on the z. & P. r. R., which calling he
followed most of his life, the latter por.
tiOn being connected with the G. G. g.
d l., with headquarters at Columbus.
A few years since, he retired from act
i've duty, and settled, with his wife and
son, in Ravenna. He lately purchased
hotel in Salamanca, New York, and
conducted it successfully few months
selling it at profit only a week ago
He told his son that he couldn't keep
hotel without mother" and also said
that he thought he was losing his
mind, and expressed a mortal fear of
an Asylum. He and his now orphaned
son, Frank D. Curtis, who is at present
stenographer for Hon. Calvin Brice.
Chairman of the National Dem. Com
mit;ee, were boarding together at the
Grand Central. in N. Y, and it was in
their room that Mr.. Curtis shot him
self. Frank was Immediately notified
and upon his return to the hotel found
his possessions in the hands of the
Coroner, including a note from his
father to himself, which at the time of
the funeral he had not seen. The N.
Y, papers pretend to publish this letter
but no two have it alike, differing ma
terially in important particulars. The
substance of it however was that he
was discouraged and believed himself
of no further use, and requesting that
his body be buried beside mother"
in Ravenna. His son, accompanied
by his friend Mr.. Morgan, brought the
body here for burial Friday, and the
services were conducted from his late
residence Saturday morning, Rev.
VIM. Lucas officiating. The following
named gentlemen acted as pail bear
ers: j. G. Beatty. D. G. Goldman, D.
M. Clewell, Chas. Merits. John Porter
and II. l.. Scarf. Many fine floral
tributes were presented by relatives
and friends.
Mr.. Curtis was generous though
somewhat eccentric gentleman, and
those who knew him best will miss
him most. May he rest in peace. The
heartfelt sympathy of this community
is extended to Mr.. Frank Curtis in his
affiiction.

AdYance In nEIonr.

AT Minneapolis, Mimi, flour has
advanced 81 within two months, and
it is predicted that it will touch $1,000
barrel. Charles A. Pillsbury, the
head of the largest milling firm in the
world, says:
I'VE have had quite little squall
in prices, but this Is nothing to the
cyclone that is coming later on. My
reason for this is the fact that there is
not enough good milling wheat in
this country to supply our local de-
mand for good fours, to say nothing
of the foreign demand, which cuts no
figure on present crop, as no matter
how much they would offer for our
flour, our home trade must have it at
higher prices"

Hargrave Confesses-Swinney sticks to His
Innocence.
LIBERTY, No., Jan. 21.-Safely confined
in cells of the Clay County Jail are J..
Barney Swinney and John Hargrave, the
two men VINO attempted to rob the
express train on the Wabash Western
"Wednesday night near Missouri City. Har-
grave talked freely to Sheriff Oscar Thorn
ason. He said he was led into the business
by Swinney, the matter being first sug-
gested to him while chOpplng wool for
Swinney's father. He did not take readily
to the idea, but after Barney's plans were
presented, with the assurance that they
could easily carry them into execution, he
decided to join the band, Noah Drew, the
confederate, who betrayed his companions,
having also consented to become men,
Der. William Harrison, the man who was
taken from his home several weeks ago
and horribly whipped by seven unknown
men, also agreed to help do the job. but
when the time arrived weakened and
backed out. The gang as at first organized
consisted OF Swlnncy as leader and Harri-
son, Drew and himself.
Harrison admitted to the sheriff yrster-
day that he was aware that some plans
were being formed, but he had no intention
of taking part. Sheriff ThOmason tried to
get Swinncy and Hargrave to go to phot-
Ograph gallery to-day and get their pict-
ures taken. but :Swlnuey declared he
would not do so and the officer did not feel
that he would b, justified in forcing him.
Swinney continues to claim that he was
not connected with the attempted robbery,
but was only going home from neighbours
and was in that way accidentally shot.
He also appears ashamed OF Hargrave, as
he says he would not go into any job with
such a fellow. The preliminary trial vii!
he held next Wednesday at Missouri City.

A Murderer and . Woman Hold the Fort
Against u Posse of Officers.
WILLIAMsPoRT, Pa, Jan. 17.-Frank Ger
don, murderer and forger. in farm house.
all day yesterday successfully held ut bay
the officers of the law who came to arrest
HIM. The garrison of his improvised fort
ress consists Of Gordon himself and Mag
gle Tate, the woman with whom he has
been living. The besieging party includes
the police force Of Williamsport, the sheriff
Of the county and his posse, and IL goodly
proportion of the citizens of the town.
Gordon is desperate character. Less than.
a year ago he was released from the East
ern penitentiary after serving out a por-
tion Of his sentence for the murder of
George Lewis. Saturday detectives sue
ceeded in tracing him to number of forg-
cries, which, though not for large amounts,
have recently annoyed the officers Of the
Lumbermen's National Bank. Gerdon's
accomplice was James Hrnkle. The latter
was arrested late Saturday night. but Ger
don heard of it and swore he would not be
taken without a fight. The officers in
trusted with the warrant pursued the
fOrger to the house of Maggie Tate and de-
manded admission. The redoubtable Mag
gle appeared at the window with her finger
pressed upon the trigger Of a big revolver
attempted to enter. Guards were then
placed around the house to prevent an es-
cape. Developments are hourly expected.

SPRISGFiELD, No., Jan. 21.-The court
room was packed early yesterday morning
by the curious, who were unwilling to lose
o word Of the Cora Lee case, and interest
seemed fully as keen as on the first day OF
the first trial.

loy's house IN Washington, Kan. Graham
was manager of the Morning aud Day Of
Reform and Cora worked in the office. His
mother (Sarah Graham) managed the
household. Witness had seen Graham
and Cora together after Mrs. Ora
ham had gone down stairs in the
morning; hal seen Mrs. Molloy with Ora
ham twice, and had seen all three together
ut the Molloy farm. Mrs. Graham, Charley
and Roy went from Washington to Fl
Wayne, Ind. and witness next saw his
father in st. Louis. He had writer. them
to meet him there. They came from st.
Louis to Springfield and arrived at dark.
and witness and Roy went to Fay's restau-
rant and went to bed.
The witness here identified trunk
brought with them from Fl. Wayne. He
saw his father next morning at the depot
when he (Graham) took some things from

farm and would return for them. He came
for them next morning. Some weeks after
arriving at the farm Cora asked witness
about his mother and witness told Cora
she came with them to Springfield. He
identified letter written by O'Neal, the
postmaster ut Brookline, and signed by
him (witncss). He had told Cora OF sign
ing the letter and she became excited, and
she and Mrs. Molloy went to Brookiine to
see Neal about it. Mrs. Molloy read the
letter and said it was all right. He remem-
bered seeing some men going to the well
February -. Cora said something at
that time about having a pistol. She
said she supposed the men were drunk
and wanted to take him and Roy away. She
was excited and went down to the gate
carrying the pistol under her apron. When
the body was found Cora went to the well,
but did not want the children to go. Wit
ness never saw the body. He saw Cora
and Eta Molloy burning letters written by
Cora to Graham.
