TROUBLE OVER A WILL,
An Alliance Family Try to Settle Will
Controversy by Blows.

ConJroVerBy Dy hOws.
An unfortunate trouble has arisen in the
Wlllener family over the property which
was held by the late Mrs. Willener. 1t
seems that MIR. Chris Willener and his
wife had mutually agreed that the survivor
should have all of the property and ac-
cordingly both made wills so that which
ever one of the couple survived the other
should have during life the benefit OF the
property, which was considerable and
which it is stated was principally in Mrs.
Willener's name. The five sons seemingly
objected to all of their mother's property
coming into the possession of their father,
and a sad and much to be regretted family
jar arose. Yesterday the will was pro-
bated in the courts at Canton and on their
return to this city, quarrel arose in the
family circle and ended by Emil striking
his father terrible blow in the eye,
severely iDjuring him.
II seems that while in Canton different
members of the family had imbibed con-
siderable whisky, which fact, seemed to
help on the trouble. Mr.. Willener ap-
peared before Mayor StiIlwell and asked
for a warrant for the arrest of his son,
whose home is in Cleveland. The old gen.
tleman seemed very much grieved over
the matter, and seemed to feel exceeding
sorry that the family jar had occurred, but
was very firm In his decision to cause the
young mans arrest.
The police were unable to find young
Willener today, and it is supposed ne has
skipped out for his home in Cleveland, he
ing unwilling to face the consequences for
striking his father.-Alliance Leader.

SHOT HIS FRIhND.
The Discharge OF a Gun in the Hands
of Frank whitman
Out for Days Sport Near Mashillon-
Particulars Of the Affair.

A fearful tragedy occurred near Massil-
lon yesterday morning which made the
day one of sadness instead of joy, for
manS in that city.
Early In the morning four boys, all fast
friends, started out to spend the day hunt.
ing. The members of the party were
Frank Whitman aged Ia, Fred Ehearer
aged 10, John Mancocked aged 16 and
Frank Seller aged IL.
Each of the boys had a gun and intend
ed to have great days sport. About 10
o'clock they sat down on the edge of a
watering trough on the side of the road,
about two miles north Of town to partake
of their lunch.
Frank Seller, the oldest one in the party,
finished his repsst first and was standing
in the middle of the highway, ten feet
from his companions. Frank Whitman,
aged fourteen, the youngest OF the four,
laid bis weapon at half cock across his
legs while eating, and when he got up the
hammer caught on the sleeve of his coat,
the gun was discarged and the entire con-
tents were lodged in young Sellers left
temple. He fell and expired almost IN
stantly, being unable TO speak word to
his companions. The deaf boy was a
cigar maker and the only support Of
widowed mother.
The remains were removed TO Massil-
lon and Coroner Openhimer summoned.
After viewing the body, he decided. to hold
an inquest at Massllon this afternoon at
2 O'Clock,

INQUEST AT MASSILLON.
Coroner Openhimer Investigates
the Sad Death Of Frank Seller.

Coroner Openhimer took testimony at
Massillon yesterday concerning the death
of Frank Seller. From the statements OF
Frank Whitman, who carried the gun
which did such fearful execution, II ap-
pears that the boys had been hunting on
Thanksgiving and had sat down on
stone trough neara quarry to rest. Seller
got up first aud walked a distance OF
about 10 feet. The Whitman boy, who is
15 years of age, had his gun resting on his
knees. He also got up and in doing SO
nut the gun under his arm. The hammer
caught in hole in his sleeve, and the gun
was discharged, the entire contents strik-
ing Seller on the left side OF the head, near
the temple. The gun was heavily charged
and the shot did not scatter, but made a
hole about one inch in diameter in Sellers
head. Whitman did not know that the
shot had struck the Seller boy until he saw
him lying on the ground. The evidence
of Whitman was substantiated by the
statements OF Christ Shearer and John
Mandabach, the two boys who were with
Seller and Whitman on the hunting expe-
dition. The evidence tends to show con-
cIusiyely that the shooting was purely ac-
cidental and the coroner will render ver-
dict in accordance with the evidence ad-
duced.
The gun which was discharged, and
through which Frank Seller met his death
has istory in the way Of doing eEecu-
ton. When the Seller family lived in
Tennessee, Mr.. Seller got up one morning
and commenced to clean the gun. He did
not know IL was loaded and while clean
ing il the weapon was discharged, the con-
tents taking effect in his wife's leg. The
leg was so badly shattered by the shot,
that IL was necessary TO amputate the
member at the knee. The sad killing OF
young Seller is the topic OF conversation
In Massillon.

A BOLD BLUFFFoR FORAKER.
Sherman Can Only Win by Buying up
Foraker's Meu--This is Awful.

Special to Columbus Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. Ex-senator
Sherman may decline to 90 into the Re-
publican caucus for denomination. Some
of It's Ohio friends are advising him TO de-
cline. They believe that he is already
beaten.
Some of Sherman's friends have written
an alarming letter to Washington in the
last few days. They say that after care
full canvas of the situation they have as
certained to their surprize that Foraker
has pledges from over fifty Republican
members, three more than.enough 20 nom-
mate him. More than that Foraker's
friends have determined upon coup to
prevent any of these men going into the
Sherman camp. Foraker's friends claim
that he has made an honorable CANVASS
and has virtually been chosen by the party
as Sherman's successor. Some OF For
aker's friends now threaten that IL by any
system of bulIdozingb by Foster or the ad-
ministraton or by any corrupt influence
on the part of Sherman's followers For
aker's strength is alienated, the latter's
friends will decline to go into the caucus.
This threat is made because II Is charged
that Sherman's agents have made over
lures to Foraker men and the eX-Gover-
nor believes Sherman's friends mean to
corrupt the Legislature in order 10 win.
The above story comes from Sherman's
friends in Ohio and it has produced a pro-
found sensation in official circles.

THE MAssILLoN posroFFIcE.
An Interesting Story Regarding the Sc
lection e the Present Site.

A Washington special to the Enquirer
has the following The presence of Con-
gressman-elect Warwick, of Ohio, here
now recalls az incident ahout four years
ago whru lac was here. Governor War
wick, who resides in Massllon, had just
completed d new block of buildings.
While tuey were being erected 1t was un-
derstood tnat one of the rooms in the
block was for the accommodation of the
Post-ofIlce in that town. There was no
division of opinion as to the location be
ing good one and the most convenient
for the largest number of Inhabitants.
However, as is' customary in all such
cases, when the time came for the change
there was opposition on the part of the
business elementin the neighborhood of
the old site. OF course Warwick wanted
to be paid something by the Government
FOR the new quarters, but the opposing
factions unherbid him, and while the
Postmaster General recognized the desir.
ability of the new location hs was indis-
posed to pay Governor Warwick any more
than he could get the old Office for. Fin
ally the bidding got so animated that
Governor Warwick got his Irish" up and
offered the new otiiee to the Government
for 81 per year. The Postmaster General
accepted the offer and has contract
drawn up for a term of years. Meantime
Major Mckinley was returned to Con-
gress and as soon as the old contract ex-
pired he went to Postmaster General
Wanamaker and had a new contract
made for Ave years and the figures fixed
at 5000 year. To-day in conversinR
about the incident Warwick said that il
Villas should happen to be nomjnnted for
Vice President, as has sometimes been
suggested, he would feel very much like
