YOUNGSTOWN, o.. Sept. 25.-Rev. DR..
Muller, until recently pastor of the
First Methods church in Canton, real
ICES the way of the clerical transgressor
is hard. DIR. Muller is an able divine,
fifty years old, who possessed an esti-
mable wife who had been loving help
meet to him for more than quarter of
a century until called away by death
during the last year. A few months
later the congregation was shocked
upon learning that the venerable pas
tor again contemplated matrimony, and
had selected for bride young lady
of twenty-five. Members of the church
called on the pastor, and requested hi II
out of respect for his dead wife to defer
his marriage at least year, but the adj
vice was unheeded. and few months
after Wife No. l was laid away he led a
young bride to the altar.
His cOnnuct caused rev ulslon o.
feeling, and the congregation decided
to dispense with his services at the CLOSE
of the conference year. AT the confer
ence this week it was decided to appoin
DR.. Muller to either the Euclid Avenue
church, Cleveland. or Trinity church, il
Youngstown. The former congregation
coolly notified the bishop that it would
not receive DR.. Muller, and similar &C
tion was taken by Trinity, one of the
wealthiest members stating that if hi
was sent here he would withdraw his
support for five years.
Bishop Fowler was in a quandary
and finally settled the matter by APP
pointing DR.. Muller presiding elder Of
the Cleveland district. The young wife
is an accomplished lady of sterling char
acter, and the clerical boycott against
DR.. Muller is caused solely by his haste
in marrying after the demise OF his frs
wife,

haunted by the sight of the man [
killed. need not say that the killing
was unintentional. l intended to stun
the man, and until next day supposed
that was all | had done. Gray was
tried at Salem, the county seat of
Marion county, and sent to the South
ern Illinois penitcntiary at Chester, on
the Mississippi river. below st. Louis"
The only contradictory point in
Browns story is that he told Supt. Hen
derson that he went into the car on the
night in question to rob the man who
was killed. The man resisted and
Brown killed him.
But where does Gray. the man who is
now serving Browns sentence. come
in? Gray was convicted On his own
confession. That may seem little odd
since Brown did the killing, but it is
true.
Gray, who was also a tramp, went
into that box car after Brown had
killed the other man. He did not see
the dead man, and lay down in the
blood. In the morning he saw the blood
on his sleeve, and tore the sleeve off and
threw it away. A coiored woman saw
him leave the car. In which a dead man
was afterward found. That led to his
arrest. While the trial was going on he
made a confession, relating in the most
circumstantial manner how he had
quareled with this dead man and killed
him. Then be was sentenced tOimpriS-
onment for life.
Why did Gray confess crime he had
never committed and knew nothing
about? 1t has been learned that Gray
made another explanation after he was
sentenced. He said that he had long
wanted to commit suicide but could not
summon the requisite courage. He did
not know thing about the murder for
which he had been given life term, but
he wanted to die. He had confessed to
the murder because he thought the law
would take his life then, and do the
work that he had not the courage to do
himself. That is how Gray happens to
be serving time for a crime which he
confessed having committed and of
which he knew nothing. The Story has
not all the elements of plausiDility, but
1T seems to be true.

NO DEATHS YET.
injured Firemen Doing Well
Story of Incendiarism.

No deaths have resulted as vet from
the fire of Thursday. The injured fire.
men are scattered around the various
hospitals and all are doing well, as well
as could be expected. Charles Mitchell
is at st. Barnabas hospital. The physi-
clans say there is no hope for him. In
spite of their dictum, he persists ia
living, and is in even better condition
than he was night before last. 1t does
not seem possible, though, that he can
live. His back is surely broken. and
men do not live, as a rule, with broken
backs. The other firemen are coming
along we'll.
Not all of the estimates of the loss
Yesterday were absolutely correct. Re-
show some few changes. The total loss
will not aggregate over $4,000. The
insurance will foot up fully $4,000.
The statements of loss on the big build
lngs made yesterday morning were cor
rect. Only the smaller losses, those on
buildings that were only partially de-
stroyed, will foot up differently when
adjusted.
Some of the insurance men are
already complaining. They raise the
same old cry that the fire was not we'll
managed. No one who saw the fire will
agree with them. To the cool specta-
tors, those who were not Interested, 1t
seemed that the fire was handled in an
excellent manner. Indeed, it was a
marvel to good many that it was no
worse. There was a strong wind to
fight against. Moreover. the fire broke
out in, and was communicated to,
buildings that were highly infiammable,
or filled with material that fired easily.
IL was all over in q second
The firemen had to be on the alert
every moment or it would have swept
all of South Minneapolis. The men
whose property was saved felt that the
firemen did well. A fund for the bene-
tit of those who were injured has al
ready been started. The subscriptions
so tar amount to $780, In this con-
nectlon it may not be out of place to
mention that the insurance men who
are doing the kicking about the
way the fire was handled are spe.
cial agents from out of town who put
more insurance on the burned buildings
than the condition of the buildings
and their location would warrant. The

A WoMAN's CRIME.

A Rather Peculiar Case Now I'm
der Investigation by the Police.
The police yesterday learned of a case
of abortion the circumstances of which
are rather singular, and which may lead
to arrests.
Several days ago report was made to
Detectives King and Doyle to the effect
that an abortion had been performed in
the house No. POS Fourth street south,
and that the f9tus had been buried in
the cellar. An investigation made yes
terday brought to light little mound
of fresh earth in the cellar. which, upon
being opened, revealed fGtus of about
four months growth. The house in
question is occupied by Mrs. Davis,
whose husband is now serving SEN
tence in the county Jail for larceny.
1t was found that the child was that of
a Mrs. Smith, who came to this city sew
eral weeks ago from Hurley. Mrs.
Smith, upon being questioned, stated
that she had committed her crime UNI
aided and that she alone was guilty.
She said that she was married aud had
several children at Hurley. She had
determined upon an abortion, but her
husband objected, SO she left home and
came to Minneapolis to have the opera
ton performed. She brought the medi-
cine with her and expected to get along
without assistance, utduring the oper-
alton she was forced to call upon Mrs.
Davis for assistance. Mrs. Davis after
ward buried the body in the cellar at
her request. Mrs. Smith asserts posi-
lively, however, that Mrs. Davis was in
no way to blame. The health depart
ment now has the case under investiga-
ton and If is likely that Mrs Smith will
be prosecuted under the statute forbid
ding the burying of bodies except in
cemeteries.

The following interesting letters are

''&entlemeu: Two years ago 1 was
on crutches, and had almost lost the use
of my legs from the effects of chronic
rheumatism, from which l had suffered
for two years.
81 got acquainted with a man who
had passed through all the stages of
acute rheumatism, and he told me what
he had suffered and how he came to be
cured. He suggested that try Palne's
celery compound.
II did so, but with miSgivingS, as /

had failed to cure, it was poor show to

three bottles. and found to my astonish-
ment, that the pain began to subside a

ANOTHER INVENTION.
Trolley Wires Can Now Be Buried

Trolley Wires Can Now Be Buried
Under the Streets.
Minneapolis is turning out quite
number Of inventors nowadays. Most
all of them seem to be dabbling in cleo
tricity, too. Up on the fourth floor of
the Eastman block. in a rear room, is
circular railroad track. 1t has a dame
ter of perhaps ten feet. Not very big,
but it answers for the wor king of a
model of street railway. 1t is
all electric railway. 1t is meant
to be operated without he
are such menace to the lives of the
people who use the streets and that are
such unsightly objects. Neither will
this road use use the storage battery.
1t will use trolley wire, but the trolley
wire will be underground. This new
application of electricity is the inven-
ton of Will Bates, a young man who
has been experimenting with electricity
for a couple of years. He has invented
a trolley wheel guide that has been pro-
nounced good thing and that will be
used in Minneapolis. He thinks he has
a better thing in the underground trolley
wire system.
Mr.. Bates will put the trolley wire in
conduit, the top of which will be level
with the street. That conduit will be
watertight, an improvement on any I'M
foreground trolley system yet Invented.
The top of the conduit will be of alter
mating plates of iron and some nOn-con-
Quoting Substance-stOne will do as
we'll as anything. Under the car will
be two trolley poles that will run along
on the top of this conduit. These poles
will be such distance apart that

one conducting section of the
conduit cover, at all times. Under the
car wilal lso be placed strong magnet
AS the ear passes along the magnet will
attract small strip of iron that lies in
the conduit alongside the trolley wire.
That strip rises to meet the magnet and
acts as lever to raise the trolley wire
against the metal plate over the con-
duit. One of the trolIeys will be on
that plate at that mament, the electric
current will be communicated to the
car through the trolley pole and
The wire in the conduit is
made to come into contact with
each of these metal plates consecutively
and the current is continuous. The
two trolleys give continuous current
without continuous surface in contact
with the trolley. These metal plates
are separated by non-conducting sub
stance so that there is no danger of the
current being communicated from one
to the other and causing shocks to
passers. There is never any connec-
ton between the rails and the wire ex-
cept directly under the car. Thereby
ali danger is obviated. Prominent
electricians say that it is good thing.
1t costs about half what the present
system does.
