awful faces and get childishly angry

SHOCKING TRAGEDY ATBARToN

y
A shocking tragedy occurred at Barton
about 3 O'Clock on Monday afternoon
which resulted i'll the death by his own
hand, of the principal actor and the slight
" wounding of the other in the bloody
scene. Grant Devault, young man
about % years of age, whose home was
near Pennington, had been cutting corn
in the forenoon but about IL O'Clock
stopped to take his sister to Barton to
meet the train, going down in one horse
wagon. He Staid at the station a While
and then returned home, but soon came
back to Barton, this time on horset ack.
After lingering about the station for
some time he went to call on Miss Lulu
Williams, a young lady to whom he had
been paving marked attention for about
year. The home of Miss Williams is
only short distance up the run from the
station, and meeting her at the gate, the
couple engaged in conversation. While
they were talking, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Wells passed who noticed nothing un-
usual; also Mr.. John Harris, but Mr..
Harris had scarcely passed, when Devanlt
drew a revolver and struck Miss Williams
on the side of the head and upon her
screaming and starting to run, he fol-
lowed it with a shot which graZed the
skull and inflicted slight scalp wound.
Doubtless thinking he had killed the girl,
he placed the weapon to his own temple
and fired, the ball penetrating the brain
and passing entirely through the head
producing death instantly. The revolver
used was of the bull dog pattern and was
a SO caliber. No particular motive is as
signed for the act and there is no reliable
information that any trouble existed be-
tween them. Something over year ago,
Devault fell from cherry tree and sus-
tained injuries on the head from which
it is believed he never permanently re-
covered. No objection was raised by the
parents of the girl to his attentions as he
was regarded as young man of good
moral habits and upright demeanor
Both young people are of good families
and the blow falls with crushing force on
the parents and friends of each. The
young lady is daughter of W. 2. Viii
liams. Esq, who is foreman at Boggs
mines, while Devault was son of John
Devault, Esq, respected and prominent
citizen of Colerain township, and well
known as pump maker. The funeral
of Devault took place at 10 o'clock yes
terday Interment at Pennington.

Gov. Merriam Branches Out
as q Breeder OF Fine Car
riage Horses.
An Imported French Stallion
and Twenty Half-Bred
Colts Purchased.
These Will Form the Nucleus
Of a Breeding Establish
ment at Midvale.
Some Famous MatPOnS--
Pointers for Breeders
Whips and Tips.

Gov. Merriam is an enthusiastic horse
man, and fortunately has the means at
his command to crafty his desire to
blossom out as breeder of horses that
will command the attention not only Of
competitors. but also of the buying pub
lie. Within few days he has pur-
chased the famous imported French
coaching stallion HarcOurt and twenty
half-bred FLIES OF the same strain.
These will form the nucleus Of breed
ing establishment at ''Midvale," the
governors country place. The half
bred colts are all sired by imported
French stations, and out of dams OF
speed producing strains. They will be
bred to Harcourt, and should produce
a very high grade of colts suitable
for carriage horses. That the French
coach horse is far superior to any other
for coacn and carriage purposes there is
no doubt. They are blOcky, with long
and well formed necks, and have good
style and extra high action, with good
feet and legs. This is type of horses
much needed in this country. where
coach and carriage horses are very
scarce. Breeders have been raising
heavy grades of horses, possessing
neither style nor action. which are eS-
sential to a good driving horse or road
ster. The trOtter. being bred solely for
speed, has not the style or substance to
make coacher. To supply this want
is the purpose of the governor ill bring
ing Harcourt and the twenty half-bred
colts to Midvale.

Miners Indiscreet Remarks Re.
fiecting Upon Mexico.
WASHINGTON. Nov. S.-M. Romero.
the Mexican minister. arrived In the
city yesterday, having left the Pan
American exeursionists. He said this
evening that his return was not due to the
Miner incident. That affair was settled
before he left Washington some days
ago. A dispatch from the City or Mex
leo, received some time ago, stated that
there was great Indignation there on ac-
count Of speech made by MIR. Miner
in Costa Rica on presenting his creden-
tials as minister of the United States
TO the Central American states.
IL was stated that Mr.. Miner
had reflected upon Mexico in connection
with a boundary dispute between that
country and Guatemala. Mr.. Romero
said that the remarks of Mr.. Miner had
been officially disavOwed, and nothing
further would be done in the matter Ivy
Mexico. There has been," he
added, mo intention to ask
for Mr.. MINERS recall. That
was not what was desired. When
Miner gave the statement he did, the
Mexican government wanted to know
whether the insult was made by the
United States, and il has now been as
sured that the utteranceS were lnau-
thorized, and that settles it," The
Oticial DiariO containing copy OF
Secretary Blaine's letter of diSavOwal
has been received here. The follow
ing is a translation of this letter: Il
have the honor to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your note of the 9Th inst. in
which, by the instructions OF the Secre-
tary of foreign relations of Mexico,
accompanied by the full text of Senior
Marisca's letter to you, dated Sept.
2S, you complain in the name
or your government of certain
illusions made by the minister of the
United States in Central America in
presenting his credentials as envoy eX-
traOrdinary and minister plenipoten-
tiary in Costa Rica OH Aug. 80 last.
ter of the remarks referred to
was noticed by thisdepartment
when the speech was received
and instructions were sent to
MIR. Miner on the subject on Sept. 19,
expressing sincere regret at his words
and the fear that they would receive all
erroneous Interpretation. to which. I'M
fortunately. they were liable, and
which, as noticed by your letter. has been
given them by the Mexican government.
Knowing the history of the relations
of mutual intimacy and confidence
which it has been the constant purpose
of this government to maintain with
Mexico. as well as with other nations,
1t hardly appears necessary for me to
assure you, and through you the gov
ernment which you represent. that the
remarks of Mr.. Miner, which implied
go, ts.,l
the part of this government, were
wholly unauthorized and that they occa-
sion sincere regret to this government,
aud are entirely diSapprOyed by it."

BECOMING QUITE FIsHY.
The Stories Told by Convict Mills
at Winnipeg.

WINNIPEG. Man., Nov. SIN the text
of Convict Mills version of the al
legged confession of the Cronin sus-
pect.. Martin Burke, while in Jail
at Winnipeg, there is little adj
ditional to what has already
been printed except the statement that
Coughlin got Burke loaded with liquor
and then informed him lots had been
drawn, and it had fallen upon him
(Burke) with others to remove the
doctor as spy. The night of Crouin's
disappearance, Burke, Coughlin,
O'Sullivan, Cooney and Beggs
were i'm the cottage. Mills
story has it that Beggs was personating
a woman in bed, and that Kuuze was to
bring the doctor to the cottage. Cory
details of the supposed scene in the cot
tage are given, and it is asserted that
one of the quartette threw prussic acid
in the DOCTORS face to blind
him. Burke is said to have
stated that he kept CIonin's coat,
which he intended to wear In Ireland.
1t is also stated that Burke said rich
man in Chicago had given him 500 to
get out of town after the body was
found. and that all he had to do to get
more money was to write to Chicago and
a milkman there would supply it.
