CIRCUIT COUR
Arguments in the Maxwell Case Con
cluded Yesterday.
The Lee Moonshower Case Considered
and it is Thought the Finding Of the
Lower Court WIN be Reyersed.

Business In circuit court is progressing
rapidly, three Important cases having
already been submitted TO the court.
The arguments In the Maxwell case
were concluded Tuesday and the case sub
mitted. Exhaustive pleas were made by
counsel for the state and for the defense,
Every possible point in which error could
be alleged was brought up and the evil
dence thoroughly aired. Eminent mem
bers of the bar are of the opinion tha,
there will be no reversal in this case, as
the position taken by Judge Taylor dur
ing the trial Is considered to be unas'
sailable.
The case of Ohio against Lee Moon
shower was heard Wednesday morning
II will be remembered that MoonshoweI
was convicted of criminally assaulting his
niece, five years old, and was sentenced
10 the penitentiary for ten years. The
case is brought up on error, and II Is con
sidered that some of the points made by
the defense are well taken. The defend
ant alleges error of the court In admitting
certain testimony, and also In excluding
testimony which might have been
beneficial to the defendant. Dur
Ing the trial OF the case when
the matter of admitting the testi-
mony Of the little girls mother
Mrs. Frank Moonshower, was being CON
sidered, the court made the remark In the
presence of the jury that the mother oi
the child would probably know more
about the case than the child herself
This enhanced the value of the testimony
given by Mrs. Moonshower, which eyi
dence was damaging 10 the defendant
Great stress 10 laid on this point. Attor.
ney Charles G. Upham opened the argu-
ment and was followed by Prosecutor
Bow. Thomas y. Turner, for the defense
closed the argument. Il will not be at all
surprising II the circuit court reverses the
Judgment of the lower court. Atany rate
the attorneys for the defense are very
confident.
After the Moonshower case, the case OF
the City National Bank of Canton against
Albert II. Hawkins came up. Being an
equity case IL is brought up on appeal.
The action was brought 30 set aside deed
of conveyance of cetain property, given
by Robert Hawkins TO his son Albert. II
is claimed that Robert Hawkins was insol.
vent at the time the conveyance was made
and that II was a gift instead OF sale.
The lower court decided In favor OF the
son Albert.
No decision will be given out until Sat.
urdey, at which time decisions will be
made In all cases under advisement

(By Gable TO the News Demoorat)
DUBLIN, Oct. Z. Charles Stewart Par
nell died at his home near Brighton, al
II 80 last night, of congestive chill. He
had been in bed since last Friday.
Charles Stewart Parnell was born al
Avondale, county Wicklow, Ireland, in
1Si8. He was educated at Cambridge and
entered Parliament in 1875 as member
for Meath. In 1877 he brought in the Irish
Church Act Amendment bill, the object Of
which was TO facilitate the purchase Of
their holdings by the tenantry of the dis
established Irish church; but the bill was
thrown out by $50 10 11o votes.
He then became the leader of the OBJ
structionists in the Parliament and in 1879
he founded the Irish National Land
League, whose purposes were, first,
10 bring about reduction
Of rack-rents; and secondly, 70 facilitate
the obtaining Of the ownership Of the soil
by the occupiers. In the same year he
visited America and lectured In ell the
large cities In order 70 raise funds for the
new organization.
In 1880 he was returned for three con-
stituencies, Meath, Mayo and Cork city,
and chose to sit for the last, but in the
same year informations were laid against
him by the Irish Attorney General. The
trial resulted in disagreement Of the
jury, but the Land League having been
declared by the government an illegal as
ISOLATION, he was arrested and conveyed
to Kilmainhsm jail. He was soon releas-
ed, however, and in the session Of 1888 he
took very active part in procuring the
passage OF the Arrears act and the Tram
ways and Laborers acts.
For several years he has been the recoe-
nized leader of the Irish people in their
struggle against oppression. Although
harrassed by the courts and denounced
and prosecuted by the opposition he yet
remained firm and was fast achieving the
success Of those principles for which he
labored.
A few months ago, however, he became
involved in a social scandal in which it
was charged he had been unduly intimate
with the wife of one Captain O'Shea. The
result was a divorce and later the mar.
riage of Parnell TO the divorced wife
From the time the facts in this case first
became known, Parnelrs power began to
wane and in the elections which followed,
in which he made q desperate effort to
hold his grip upon the Irish people, he
was thoroughly repudiated.
LATER-Charles Stewart iParnell went
to Brighton about O week ago. He was
then suffering from severe cold. This
his friends say developed into acute rheu.
matism and Pneumonia. Last Friday he
was forced TO take 10 his bed. Death came
from congestiye chill at II 80 last night
aud he died in his wife's arms. She ia
prostrated with grief. Friends scout al
the idea of suicide and it is believed death
was natural.

The NEws-DEMoCRAr last night con-
tanned an exclusive account of the arrest
Of Sylvester Slusser, by Marshal Gentry,
on charge of train wrecking. A special
from Alliance gives the following addi-
tional particulars: Last night a man
named Slusser, who has been clerking in
McClellan's cigar store, was arrested by
Officer Gentry and Marshal Stacy, on the
charge of attempting to wreck No. 5, the
Pennsylvania limited, one night in the
latter part of last February. This arrest
discloses a fine piece of detective work.
The first attempt TO wreck the limited
was made by placing ties on the track
mile west of Louisville. The next at
tempt was made by placing q wagon on
the track. Both failed. The railroad
officials immediately placed the matter
in the hands of the Perkins
Detective Agency, OF Pitttsburg, and
detectives were detailed TO hunt
out the guilty person. They went to work
on the case and the arrest OF last night
was the result. The detectives are conf
dent that they have q good case against
Slusser. Mcclellan had made the &C
quaintance of Slusser while In Louisville
and suspected him Of being guilty. Peo-
pie who patronized his store little suspect
ed that he was detective. Many ex-
pressed their doubts as 20 his ability to
get along in his business. He did not
bother about business any. After getting
settled here he began to negotiate with
Slusser TO come and clerk for him. Last
Sunday Slusser came and struck bargain
with Mcclellan. Detective Perkins was
present at the time. There were also two
witnesses concealed dehind the wooden
partition In the store, and an attempt was
made to get q confession from Slusser
that il was he who ATTEMPTED to wreck the
the limited. The subject was brought up
delicately, but the way Slusser repulsed
every attempa TO make him confess only
added to the suspicious of the detectives.
He was arrested last evening and taken
70 the Canton jail.
sLUssER INTERVIEWED.
There is something beyond the ordinary
in the arrest of Sylvester Slusser for
wrecking q train at Louisville two years
ago. Slusser was arrested on information
Of Defective Perkins of Pittsburg. When
arrested he was in bed at Alliance, having
gone there to work for j. f. McClelland,a a
cigar dealer In that city. Marshal Gentry
and Officer Slagle made the arrest, owing
to the indisposition of Detective Perkins.
Slusser was seen by NEws.D DEMOCRAT
reporter at the Jail Wednesday. II he is
train wrecker he certainly does not look
it. He is a man about As years of age and
has an honest face. His home is at Louis
vile, where he has wife and five children
the youngest being four years of age. He
denies all knowledge of the wreck and
tells straightforward story. 1t is the
general opinion that he is innocent as he
bears q good reputation for honesty at his
home. He states that he does not know
either Sadler or Ryan who are doing time
for the same wreck.
Slusser was arraigned in police court
Wednesday morning, pleaded not guilty
and was remanded to Jail in the sum of 81
| 600 for his appearance Saturday at p. m.
| at which time he will have hearing.

County Official Paper.
A SIMPLETON'S
TON.
PRESCIHP-

The American Economist, organ Of
the Protective Tariff League, says it
is estimated that 1--WE Americans, as
nation, are paying foreigners about
s250,G31,OOO.a year for carrying us,
our mails and freight across the
ocean" And it declares that this
money is taken out of the circulation
of this country and spent in foreign
countries, increasing the receipts and
profits OF all people there and decreas-
inG the rate of interest, instead of
performing those kind offices for our
selves" And the Economist recon-
meuds the payment of q good large
mileage bounty to every American
vessel, big and little, engaged in the
foreign trade as the proper way to re-
tain for our own use all this money.
Now, first, as to the matters of fact,
it is not true that we pay $3.50, zoo, 900
q year for the service mentioned, nor
haRthat. In the second place, what
we do pay for this service we DO not
pay "as nation" We paw as indi-
viduals, and each individual may he
trusted to pay according to his own
wishes and interests. He needs no
protective tariff league to act as his
self-appointed guardian. In the third
place, we do not pay cash for this
service. II We did, and if we paid as
much as the league organ says we do,
we would not have had dollar Of
cash left by this time. The custom
house records show that in the last
fifteen years we have imported more
cash than we have exported. 1t is
not true, therefore, that what we pay
for ocean carriage is taken out OF our
circulation. The league organ mis-
states the facts from first to last.
And now rs to the prescription.
Like all the prescriptions of the
league doctors, it proceeds on the
assumption that we have a great mass
OF capital and labor lying idle and
waiting for Congress to induce them
to go to work by paying them q
bounty drawn from the pockets of
tax payers. The assumption is as
false as tine statements of fact. We
are employing our own capital and
labor, and a great deal Of foreign
capital besides, while from q quarter
70 half million of foreigners come 10
the country every year to do the work
we have to do. The league prescrip-
ton, therefore, is bounty to draw
our capital and labor away from their
present employments aud embark
them in another employment. But
they would embark in that other EN-
ployment voluntarily and without the
inducement of bounty, if they could
make it pay them rs we'll as the other
employment they are already in pry
them. And 80 we see that the league
prescribes bounty to draw our capi-
tai and labor out OF profitable en-
Payments and to induce them to
launch out into relatively or abso-
lutely Improbable employment.
