SEVERAL FAT TAKES.


Furnished to Lawyers. Stenographers
and Court Officers by the Bank Case.
Muskegon, August 2l.-A third stem
ographer, Mr.. Strowheckcr, of Grand
Rapids, is now employed in helping re-
port the trial of the Merchants Bank
case. The three scenographers, Messrs.
Luther, Walch and Strowhecker, re-
lieve one another about every twenty
minutes and while out of court are en-
gagged in reducing their stenographic
notes to writing. TINS is done 80 rapidly
on the typewrters that the reporters
have the proceedings reproduced IN full
in cold type up to within about an hour
OF their occurrence in court. AT
the opening of each session OF
court the lawyers on either side have
before them the record OF the preceding
session. Two copies of the record are
furnished each SIDE in the case. The
work of taking down the evidence is
done rs the regular work of the official
stenographcr, for which he Is paid by
the court. But the work OF furnishing
copies is extra and must be paid Tor by
the parties getting them, at the usual
fees, which are sufficient to make n
particularly fat take for the stenogra-
piers in charge of such case as the
one now on trial.
The evidence already taken in this
case is very voiumnous and as yet sew
eral of the principal witnesses have not
been put on the stand. 1t is easy to see
that the record will be the longest OF
any case tired before this court. Six
attorneys are in almost constant at
tendance, and Judging from their
standing and number, and the time re-
auired, it is easy to see the expenses iu-
volved will be heavy. The case Is fur
nishing fat takes for lawyers, steuog-
raphers and court officers, except the
Judge, whose salary 10 not dependent
upon the number Of hard Gays work he
puts IN this scorchlng mo tn OF August.

A FOOT-PAD'S DEED.

A foot-pad thrust revolver into
the face of pedestrian near the As
ISOLATION park last night and robbed
him Of q gold watch and chain and a
gold ring. The unfortunate victim
was Henry Fletcher, who lives on
South Ohio street.
Henry had been out in the vicinity
of PARK avenue and was returning
about 1890 when a man, unusually
large, covered him with a revolver
and demanded him to elevate his
hands. Fletcher obeyed, seeing the
odds, and was marched back to the
park gate and there relieved Of his
valuables.
The highwayman was a colored
man, rather large, and seemed to have
his face covered by a mask.
When the robber retraced his steps
to the street he remarked that if moth
ing was said to the officers about it,
he would return it day after to-mor-
row.

MURDERED AND PLACED ON THE
RAILS.

Lexington, ILL.,, Angus. 5.-The
engineer on the Chicago and Alton
GUNNER" bound north, at 5 o'clock
yesterday morning discovered the
body Of man lying across the rail
near the bridge over the Mackinaw
River, half . milo south of this place,
and could not check the train until
be had run over it. Ithad, however,
been cut completely in two by previ.
GUS trains. The body was completely
severed. An investigation failed to
reveal the name of the man. His hat
and coat we're found nearly 800 yards
Dearer Lexington. When found the
body was nearly naked. Near by iu
the grass was found his shirt
and shoes, and the grass was
trampled down, indicating a scutfis.
On the head was found few gashes,
such as might be inflicted by some
sharp instrument. The body was ly.
ing squarely across the track and was
severed nearly ID the middle. There
we're no bruises or anything to indi-
cate that he had been struck by q
train. Probably, if murdered, his
body had been placed on the track to
conceal the truth. The dead man
was undoubtedly a tramp. as he had
called fer work and food on Sunday
and Monday in Lexington. and was
accompanied by another man. who
can not be found. He was man of
slight, short statue, blsck closely
cropped hair and dark mustsche, and
was apparently about % years Of age.

STUNG SCORPION.
Sam williams. Manager Of the
Union News Company,
Has q Serious Adven.
ture.

At eight o'clock this morning, as
Sam Williams. manager Of the Union
News Company, was opening box
of pears at his stand near the corner
Of Main and Ohis streets, he was
stung by a scorpion, concealed among
the fruit. He thought but little, il
anything, of the matter until sbout
an hour afrerward, when the
middle finger of his left hand, where
the sting had entered, began
to pain him. Mr.. Will.
Jams thereupon drank a lot Of whiskeJ !
to counteract the poison, but was
soon thrown into what amounted al
most to convul.ious. DR.. Diesel was
hu'ridIy sent for and arrived prompt
ly.
The patient was placed upon a
counter and for at least two hours
raved like a mailman from the effects
of the sting and the large amount of
liquor given him. 1t was as much as
six strong men could do to hold him
down.
The news had rapidly
spread along the streets
and soon the sidewalk in
the vicinity of the news stand was
blocked with men and boys, eager to get
glimpse of the patient. The crowd
finally became 50 great that two po-
llceman were sent for. They we're
unable to keep back the people, and
were at length compelled to stretch a
rope around the entrance.
About IL o'clock several strong men
removed Mr.. Williams to his room
near BY and at last accounts he was
sleeping quietly, end with every pros
pect Of recovering.
A negro boy who was present when
the box was opened, killed the scor-
pion snd it is now on exhibition at
Kelley's cigar sore on West Second
street, near the pOstoffice. Its
description is faithfully given in the
following definition taken from
Webster's dictionary.
Scorpions have an elongated body,
suddenly terminrted by a long,
slender tail, formed of six joints, the
last of which terminates in an arcuat-
ed and very acute sting, which
efuses a venomous sting
This sting gives rise to excru =
cisting pain, says Mr.. Webster,
but il very seldom, if ever, destruc-
tive of life.
Scorpions are found in the South
Of Europe, in the Fast Indies, in
South America, and, sometimes, in
pear boxes. They are about the
size of an almond.

ATRlPLE MURDER.
Samuel Freeman Kills His Wife,
His Child and Himself.

St. Joseph. Mo-, August ). News
received last night from Severance,
Doniphan county, Kan, twenty miles
west of st. Joseph. tells Of the awful
murder by Samuel Freeman of his
wife and 2 year old son and his sui.
eide. The affair happened at about 8
o'clock last night. What caused the
unfortunate affair can not be learned.
Freeman attended to the milking of
bis cows at Z O'Clock and then went
to his house. 1t is supposed that his
wife upraided him about something
and that he at once drew his revolver,
which he always carried, and shot
her. 1t is supposed that he then de-
cided to kill his little child and him
self. The wife was found sitting
in a rocking chair, with one hand
holding to the chair. She was shot
twice, one bullet entering about the
left eye and the other just under the
right eye. She must have died in
stanily. The little boy was found
lying und.r the window with q bullet
hole through his right temple. Free
man shot himself through the head
just above the right ear, and was lying
on his back by the front door. His
wife has no relatives. Jealousy is
thought to have been the cause OF the
crime. Freeman was twice married
and had married daughter living in
Doniphan county. He had been .
farmer for years, and for ten years
had resided near Severance. He was
so years of age, while his wife was
several years younger.
