A SUNDAY TRAGEDY AT FINDLAY
The Mad Act of an Insane Man.

FINDLAY, O., Oct. 27.-Samuei w.
Miller, cashier in the American bank
and one of the leading and best known
men of the city, was seriously If not
fatally stabbed this evening by F., w.
Stokes, his father-in-law, an old man
about 20 years of age.
Stokes has been acting strangely for
some time and his friends feared he
was loosing his mind. This morning
he was noticed sharpening up a sword
cane which so alarmed his wife, that
when night came she went to the
house of her son-in-law Miller to stay
all night.
Not long afterward a knock was
heard at the door, which Miller ans
wered. No sooner did he open the door
than Stokes, who was the visitor,
plunged his sword cane into Miller's
side between the second and third ribs,
the sword penetrating the right lung
and coming out of his back, making q
wound which will probably prove IA
tai.
Miller sank in the doorway while the
old man leisurely returned to his home
where the officials shortly afterwards
found him and he is now in the city
prison. There is little doubt of his in
sanity.

The late correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, who edits the Democrat
ically-owned Republican organ The
Ohio State Jtggler, has the condecension
to remark concerning myself and Gener-
al Beatty: lss+ b -.L:. s.
''The Republican party like we'll
regulated Methodist church, is ready to
accept these erring Democrats on proba-
tion." rtf.t ,'t =! {
Barring the blasphemy of putting any
religious society on par with political
organizations, led by such men as Hal
stead, Cox and Topp, domineered by a
gang of strangers, and employing for
gerry, and the purchase of votes in
blocks of five as political methods, I
have to say that, while I have been at
tached to the Republican party all my
life, and have given it the best years of
my youth and manhood, have never
belonged to that or any other political
organization, and that the offer of ''pro-
bation'' from the late CORE spondent Of
the Enquirer is an impertinence.
/ am as much believer in the doc
trines of the Republican party in its
better days, before it fell into control Of
the Halsteads and Topps, as 1 ever was.
I adhere to the old doctrines, and the
memories of the old leaders; and these
doctrines and leaders are my chief polit-
ical consultations in this era Of fraud,
forgery ,corrup ption, selfshness and high

disguise of the ancient and honorable
Republican name. grr r.. -.

the corrupt use of money as political
methods. If to oppose these things
is to be a Democrat, then am Demo

been no time in my life, when I was not
opposed to these things.

Alfred Speer, who has large vine
yards neer Passiac, N. j., is extensively
engaged in preserving unfermented
grape juice from the Oporto grapes and
supplies it to many religious societies
for communion purposes. The follow
ing is from DR.. John Ellis, who has
written several works on bible wine:
-"Fhe writer obtained frem Mr.. Speer a
bottle of his Unfermented wine and
found IL . very pleasant and nutritious
wine. "A chemist put "a portion OF this

A TALE OF HORROR.
STARVING SEAMEN EAT THE BOD.

Crazed by Hunger They Combine to
Kill Each Other for Food.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 25.-Carl Grave,
fireman, and Ludwig Loder, seaman.
two survivors of the crew of the steam
er Earnmoor, told last night story,
horrible in its details, of the way they
sustained life by cannibalism for days.
Loder said: ..... ... u.
The only food we had the first fifteen
davs in the boat was a1fying fish and u
few raw small sea birds divided among

Davis, a seaman, caught me by the
throat and made dash at my head
with knife. He cut me on the right
cheek, the scar from which still remains,
as you see. He was told to kill me by
August Plagge, fireman. ~ ,el,
When Davis, began to cut me some of
my companions caugh him, but Others
shouted: -. .,su... ~. ...,..r r..E-.
"Kill him! kill him! We want some
thing to eat. We are starving" sl
1t seems that Plagge, Davis and 9TH
ers in one end of the boat had decided
that should die as, I suppose, being
pretty fat, l looked inviting. Plagge
was placed ON watch that night, but he
was missing next morning. No one

Both Grave and Loder say that they
have no recollection of the taste of hu
