He Failed to "Stay by Her"

Before Squire Hudson Friday another case
of a criminal nature was rehearsed whose
only redeeming qualities was its potence in
drawing packed house. Abbie L. Ellen
wood of Liberty township accused Edward
Kretz, young man of the same locality of
being the father of her unborn child. She
chargedshim with accomplishing her ruin by
promising to ''stay by her" which in the YER
nacular of that section means that che would
marry her;" so she alleged. As time, the tomb
builder and the architect of material for said
tomb, continued its undulating roll and still
no marriage bells pealed forth, no orange
blossoms strewn, nor nuptials celebrated.
she thought she had waited long enough for
the groom and concluded to, like Mahomet in
the case Of the mountain, go after the groom
which she did by taking recourse in the law.
Her testimony was damaging to her allega-
tions, in many cases actually contradicting
herself hut as Kretz was not allowed to testi-
fly in the preliminary hearing noughta else
could be done but bind him over to the next
term of Common Pleas Court in $500 bail,
which was furnished James Donovvn is the
defendants attorney, while J. v. Cuff is pros
ecuting the case.

[From Findlay Republican.
frs. Sarah Elizabeth CondIt,

Seldom has the First Methodist Episcopal
church been so completely filled with people,
and never have the services been more sol
emn and impressive. than on last Sunday af-
ternoon Feb. 15, at the funeral of Mrs. Com
dit. Her estimable character, the sudden
ness of her death, and the large family left
motherless have made deep impression upon
the community.
Mrs. Condit was born in Tontogany, De-
cember 10, 1854, so that at the time of her
death, February 13, 1891, she was a little
over 36 years old. She leaves seven children,
the Oldest IL years and the youngest only
about two months. On Thursday night She
was taken with convulsions. Although three
physicians were summoned. she lived for only
about thirty-six hours, and was only in a
eml-conscious state any part of the time.
She came to Findlay, with her husband, DR..
A; 3. Condit and family, in August, 1889.
The Rev. I. N. Barkdull, of Carey, O., un-
der whose ministry both DR.. and Mrs. Con.
dit were converted, and who subsequently
united them in marriage, preached the fun
eral sermon from Psalm xvi, Is Precious in
the Sight OF the Lord is the Death of His
SAINTS" The Rev. N. B. @. Love, of this
Elder, also spoke. The services were under
the direction of the Rev. j. M. Avann, pas
tor of the church. The music was furnished
by Mrs. w. A. Willett, Mrs. B. W. Walter
mire, +. V. Meagley and DR.. A. W. Jamison.
Many beautiful floral designs were given by
relatives, the Loyal Legion and others.
Mrs. Condlt was good woman; no one
ever spoke i'll of her. She was devoted to God
and to her family. She has left fragrant
name and an influence for good that can new
ef De lost. JOSEPH AVANN,

DON'T NEGLECT Il.

This is the time of year when the most
dangerous diseases are contracted. 1t is the
time when you are most liable to have
coughs, colds, rheumatism, neuralgia, etc.
All these, when The remedies are taken in
time, are easily cured, but if allowed to run
frequently prove fatal. Saur & Balsley's
large drug and book house is headquarters
for all the best and most popular medicines
of the day. Medicines which have been
thoroughly tested ana found to be reliable in
every particular such as are not injurious to
the system in any way, safe and reliable to
take by the young as well as the old, and at
the same time containing all the curative
properties which are claimed for them. Re-
member that dose or two of the right kind
of medicine taken in time will often save
a long spell of sickness.

F. Aller, as administrator of the estate of
William Sheffield, deceased, has declared a
25 per cent. dividend which is now payable
at Meekison's Bank. This will make total
payment of 9411 per cent. paid to creditors
which is much more than was expected when
the trust was surrendered by Norton & High.
The present management is entitled to cred
it for realizing to the creditors this much
after the cream of the claims had been COL
lected and only 25 per cent. paid, and the re-
peatedi declaration that little more would be
realized. The administrator can not declare
final dividend at this time as he expected,
in consequence of an unlocked for appeal by
Governor Foster to the Circuit Court. The
case will be for trial Oct. End, 1891, in that
court, after which final dividend will be
declared.

Deputy Sheriff Decker Breaks Leg

Wednesday evening as Will Decker was
passing the barber shop of Reed Siford he
fell, fracturing the two bones of his lower left
leg. The shop had just been scrubbed and
the water swept on the sidewalk, which, it be-
ing cold evening, was soon transformed into
a.glare of ice. The deputy is heavy man
and the fall, necessarily severe one, result
as above. He was conveyed to the home Of
Mr.. Foster his brother-in- law, the fracture
reduced and on Thursday the injured man
was taken to his home on Washington st.
The fracture is a simple one and considering
Mr.. Decker's strong constitution his con.
finement will be that of The minimum, si1
weeks. But even this will prove long and
tedious trial

Good Work at the Band Fair.

The band fair closed Saturday night after
six nights Of effectual work. The net re-
ceipts, $4,000, fell little short of expecta-
tions but the boys are well satisfied. The
supper served Wednesday was model one
and well patronized; the minstrels Thurs
day and Saturday evenings furnished incen-
tive for oceans of mirth; while the dancing
Friday evening was an impromptu affair but
psrtook of all the characteristics of regular
ball. In the contests Mrs. Augenstein Sc
cured the chair; Miss Waite the carpet and
Miss Betzen the gold watch. The large pic
ture of the band was not raffled of, only n
chances out 150 having been sold; but an eff
fort will be made to fill the book, when the
person holding the lucky number will have a
very fine work in art at almost next to moth
ing. This fair will in all probability close the
fair season in Napoleon.

about your P

symptoms OF arsenlcal poisoning which In
some points tallled with the symptoms shown
by the deceased; in others, not. He placed
the organs removed in glass jar which we're
safely packed in a tin can and shipped by
express to DR.. Prescott, analytical chemist
Of the school at Ann Arbor. The report of
the chemist was at his Office which was sent
for and introduced against the strenuous OBJ
jections of the defense. 1t stated that four
and one-half grains of arsenic were found in
the stomach, much larger amount than
necessary to cause death. The DIR. was on
the stand sometime, but the above was the
gist of the testimony.
Chas. Hornung of New Bavaria, was the
last witness who was put upon the stand
merely to show that Mr.. and Mrs. Hoffman
were not living happily together. and Hoff-
man wanted him to apply for divorce for
him. He was also at the grave at the time
the body was exhumed and post-mortem ex-
animation made.
The testimony was concisely reviewed by
the attorneys. The Justice without retiring
gave his decision which was, to remand her
to Jail without bail to await the action of the
grand jury. AS it is impossible to try case
at the same term of court at which the in
dictment is found, the prisoner, in case of
an Indictment, will not have hearing before
September.
When the result of the preliminary hearing
was given, she manifested no womanly ter
ror, but seemed to accept it in philosophi-
cal way. She is small woman and not bad
looking. There is a subtle expression, how
ever, lowering about the mouth, also in the
eye, that is far from pleasing. She has an in
fant with her, the other child being in De-
fance.

Great improvement in Stoves.

Our attention was this week called to new
stove on sale by that enterprising hardware
merchant, W. G. Coover of this city. 1t is
known as the Reliable Process" and in the
line of gasoline stoves discounts anything in
the old style. Simplicity in operation is one OF
its recommending features. To light it you
have only to open the valve, in half min
ute after applying match and it is fully
ready for use. The old system of waiting to
fill the drop cup is done away with, and there
is no smell or smoke in lighting. The stove
itselfis beauty and in operation as simple al
the use of gas. Call and see one at the hard
ware store of W. G. Coover.

FINDLAY'S FLOOD.
1t is the Worst That Town has Expert
enced Since 1888.

FINDLAY, Feb. 21.-The greatest
flood Findlay has experienced since 1888
is now pouring down the Blanchard
River, which divides the city into
north and south sections, carrying with
it property of all descriptions, and driv-
ing from their homes hundreds of peo-
pie.
All the lower parts of the city are
covered with water and the river is still
rising, threatening the destruction of a
number of important buildings along
its banks. Two of the street car lines
have been abandoned on account of the
water covering their tracks, and the
trains of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton Railroad are unable to reach
its depot on Main Street, the water on
their tracks being three feet deep in
some places.
No loss of life is yet reported but the
damage to property will reach many
thousands of dollars. Grave fears are
entertained that the worst is yet to
come.

THE LADDER.

Every person must climb
life's ladder. No matter who
or what they are or where they
come from, the ladder is placed
before them to climb. Some
run up its rounds actively and
with apparent ease; others are
slow but sure; others fall when
half way up; others reach all
but the last round than fall.
Some of our people deserve
the success they have attained;
they are entitled to a resting
place on the top round of life's
| ladder; their pluck, tact and
business energy has placed
them there, position they are
justly entitled to hold.
There are probably few busi-
ness men in this part of the

who by dint of honesty and
years of steady earnest toll,
have reached as lofty aposition

control. Their business career
in Napoleon dates back over a
quarter of century, during
which period they have con-
stantly studied the wants of the
people in this locality and their
efforts have been duly appre-
ciated.
The firm has had an unpre-
cedented holiday trade, but
many articles, both useful and
ornamental is still on exhibition
which they are offering at ex-
tremely low figures, in order
to make room for their usual
spring stock. It will repay
