A POLITICAL "REMINISCENCES.
The "Yankee Dutch's" Account OF John
Beiknsp's Defeat

The last issue of Yankee Dsfo1 con-
contains the following alleged political
history:
1T Was surprise 20 many that
e1-Clty Clerk Belknap was not renomi-
mated for city clerk at the last spring
Democratic convention. Everybody
had made up has mind that John would
be nominated, bat he WAS not. although
be started IN with a solid delegation OF
seventeen votes out Of the forty, with
more n hIs favor should il appear that
other Cand IGatcs could not get there.
But whlle Il II not x nerally known
how i CAME that he was left ont IA the
cold, We give the history of that WIND
that blowetn no good to Johnny and Il
came from the sixth ward. But here -
the wind as We heard d: Johnny, ike
all other good politicians, had
some delegates from the SNth
ward print "slps, to be used at
the convention, and they got them
printed and had the bli made
out for DOUBLE what thcy actually
cost and presented tho hill ~ Johnny,
who gracefully accepted the blll
Johnny is al Old printer and knoNs
'slips" cost, and prom sed 10 pay for
printing OF them himself. THIS the
delegates from the Sixth ward did not
calculate on, for they would be out Of
that amount above the actual cost, and ,
OF course. would be 70 much poorer on
convention night. They swore revenge,
when told by the printer that Johnny
had oemurred against the cost of The
slips" and instead of voting for
! Johnny IN the convention, a. they had
agreed to, voted against him. And that
j. the secret why John J Beiknap
/ failed 10 be re-nOminated for city clerk.
| There's many slip betwiHt the cup
and the llp, bat the sips ln the sixth
ward delegation slipped Johnny out VI
the city clerks chair"

BOMB AND FUSE
FOUND IN DYNAMITER'S POSSES
SION.
Luckily He Goes to Sleep Before He
Touches the Machine ofr-His Arrest
and Subsequent Suicide.

Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.
BOWLING GREEN, OHIO, June 49,
Frank James was arrested at midnight
last night on charge of attempting to
blow up Mrs. Williamson's house, in
which were six people, with dynamite.
He was put in the town Jail, where he
committed suicide by hanging himself
with pair ofsuspenders in the presence
of four other prisoners in adjoining
cells. James came here about a year ago
from Tecumseh, Mich. Mrs. William
son is applying for a divorce from her
husband, and James has been trying to
get her to promise to marry him as soon
as she got the divorce. AS she refused,
it is surmised that James undertook to
further his suit by threatening to
blow her up with dynamite.
Last evening Mrs. Williamson and
her three children went to a circus in
town with one of her borders, Charles
Frederick, of whom James was Jealous.
When they got home Frederick went
down the cellar to get bottle of beer,
and there discovered James asleep,
with big dynamite cartrige attached
to fuse in his hand. o..
James, who was about half drunk,
had evidently crawled into the cellar,
and, while waiting for Mrs. William
son and Frederick to return home from
the circus, had fallen asleep. The po-
liece were notified, aud, after removing
the dynamite, James was arrested after
severe struggle and was placed in
Jail, where he suicided as above stated.

OBITUARY.
Teacher.

WEsT-On the 9Th of June, in Grand Rap
ids, Wood Go. o., Eliza West, (better knowr
as Eliza Hockman.) aged 60 years, 3 month!
and days.
Early in life she came to Damascus Tp.,
Henry Co. o., was united in marriage with
Henry Hockman and entered upon their for.
est home, and for some years became acquain.
ted with pioneer life, endured the tolls and la.
Dor that are incident to life in the new country
ohangedlth forest home into pleasant farm;
but about the year 1874, death removed quite
suddenly the companion of her youth; and
she was made to feel the care and assume the
responsible situation of provider for the
family of children now dependant upon her
for support.
After some years she was again united in
marriage with Mr.. West, this marriage did
not prove a happy one; she leaves two sons
to mourn the loss of kind mother.
While the flowers Of June we're blooming
Pink and rose In rich perfume,
And all nature decked In beauty,
She was called into the tomb;
While sad hearts with grief were laden, .
Filled with sadness did overflow;
Loved ones hoped that she might linger,
Jesus called and she must go.

AS WISE AS SOLOMON.
A Judge Decides a Difficult Question
in an Ingenious Manner.


in an Ingenious Manner.
Fresno (Cal.) Dispatch, June 81
Recorder Prices court was the scene
to-day of an affecting incident in the
trial of Duliss Crisman for assault on
his brother William. The brothers had
quarreled over Williams desertion of
his wife. William claimed he wasn't
married to the woman, although he
had had two children by her, because
she was divorced, and they were Cath
olics. He testified that she kept dis
orderly house in San Francisco, and
wasn't fit custodian for her children.
The woman wept and eagerly besought
the judge not to believe his statements,
saying: II have raised my children as
they should be brought up"
"Well," said his honor, "I'll test it,
madame" and he turned to the little
girl, not more than three years old, who
was clinging to her mother, and said:
"You say your prayers"
Then ensued a most touching scene.
The little girl climbed from her chair,
knelt on the floor with policeman,
judge and her father and mother around
her, and folding her tiny hands and
lifting her eyes to heaven, she made the
grandest defense of a mothers word
possible. Slowly, but distinctly, this
child born with the stain of shame up
on her, and discarded by her father,
Jisped in childish accents the Lords
Prayer. AS she proceeded, utterly OBJ
livious of her surroundings, rough men
who had not heard prayer for years
bowed their heads and many wept.
Then the childish voice ended with
God bless papa, mamma and uncle
Duliss. Amen"
The case was settled, and had Will
lam Chrisman sworn to a thousand
oaths that his wife was bad, he would
not have been believed. 1t was several
minutes before anyone spoke, and then
the recorder fined the two brothers SIS
each and dismissed the court.

A CLEVER ESCAPE.
How a Deserter Gives a Putnam Coun.
ty Constable the Slip in this City.

ty Constable the Slip in this City.
Under the above caption, the Column
bus Press of Tuesday evening gives the
following: "An old time deserter from
the regular army made a clever escape
from a Putnam county constable al
most within stones throw of the bar
racks about noon to-day.
"Some seventeen years ago Milton
Barber deserted from the United States
barracks at this point and long search
for him proved unavailable. Yesterday,
however, he was apprehended at Lipsic,
o.. by a constable of that place named
Buckley. The constable with the prl-
soner started this morning for this city,
where the officer intended to turn the
deserter over to the military authorities.
On arriving at the Union depot about
noon Barber requested that he be per-
mitted to send for bis father who lives
a short distance from this city, before
being taken to the barracks. His de-
sire was granted and the officer and
prisoner proceeded to the Powell house
for dinner. When the two entered the
hotel Barber expressed desire to go to
the water closet. The officer let him go
alone and now he will get no reward
unless the deserter is recaptured, for he
has not been seen since entering the
closet at the hotel. @E
Barber Is q man of probably thirty
six years, of medium height, light hair
and wears light suit of CLOTHES. The
police have been notified and are on
the lookout for the escaped deserter."
