At2:45 o'clock this afternoon the attor-
neys for DIR. David p. Maxwell filed their
bill of exceptions TO the judgment OF the
Common pleas court, which found him
guilty OF abortion and carried the case up
on error to the Circuit court.
The petition is exactly the same as their
motion in Common pleas court for new
trial with few additions in which
they claim that the prosecution
showed letter in court from DR.. Robert
son, in which he claimed he had nothing
to do with Lille Bordner, and that the let
ter came to the hearing Of the jury and in.
fluenced them against defendant, when
II in reality had no place in the evidence,
and was not offered in testimony.
They also claim that the State put one
Lupher on the witness stand, and then
said they wanted Better, and that they
had ordered him not to leave town, and
pretended they wanted him, when in fact
the whole thing was q sham, merely got
ten up to influence the jury to the damage
of defendant.
The petition further claims that the
court erred In overrulinR the motion for
a new trial and they ask for reversal OF
the judgment of the lower court. The
petition Is signed by Critchheld and Adair,
and Miller and Pomerene, as attorneys
for plaintiff In error.

decides TO allow him toVive bond he will
then fix the amount and oil that will then
be necessary for Maxwell to again breathe

tory bondsmen,

COLUMBUS, Aug. 14.-Hon. Virgil p. Kline
Of Cleveland, whose name was presented
to the Democratic convention as a candi-
date for governor, has wheeled into line
in a handsome manner. He has written
a letter congratulating Gov. Campbell on
his denomination, and indorsing the
work of the convention as the only sensi-
BILE and logical solution OF the question
that confronted the party, and wishing
success to the ticket. Mr.. Kline promises
to enter into the campaign upon his re-
turn from abroad, and expresses surprise
that his name should have been presented
TO the convention. The letter is dated
London, England, July 30, addressed to
Gov. Campbell and reads as follows:
"Dear Governor: / learned only Tues
day of your denomination, but of course l
had anticipated that event, and in fact
could not see any other so just and proper
solution of political complications in Ohio.
l was SUR rised, however, to see that my

ventiou, for l was sincere in the opinion
often EXPIRE ssrd, that you ouGhtto receive
the Endorsement Of the party. Now that
the convention has done its work hope
the Democrats will quit scolding and 90

desirable result will contribute what l

that we put them on over our shoes, in

We obeyed his injunction In as graceful a
manner as possible under the circum-

comfort is as much of an accomplishment
as to ride pair of snow-shoes down a
mountain side. We will not endeavor to
describe what we saw during the two
hours of our visit to this palace. And what
we saw was only part of this stupendous
structure which Is said to contain seven
hundred rooms, each one OF which Is q
gem in its way.
But the best thing Of all is a small room
to which you ascend from this. There
seems to be great multitude OF people
there. Every thing Is life and animation.

At Malvern Seriously Injures a Work
Man.

Malvern was the scene of serious ac-
cident Thursday. A man named Richards
and fellow workman were engaged In
mining clay for the Phoenix Sewer Pipe
company, and were using two dynamite
blasts. They placed both blasts in posi-
ton and retired to safe distance. In a
few moments the explosion occurred, but
only one of the dynamite blasts exploded.
The men waited for some time for the
other one to go off, but as II did not, they
approached the spot, thinking there was
omething the matter with the fuse. As
they approached the spot the second blast
exploded. Richards was thrown back
wards considerable distance by the force
of the explosion, but his companion was
not injured, Richards received injuries
about the head, but will probably recover
though he will lose the sight of one and
perhaps both eyes. He is a married man
