Laid Out in the Coffin.
RUSH CITY, MINI, Sept. ia pecu-
iarly sad and strange accident occurred at
the farmhouse of John Baumchen, two
miles from this town, this morning. Mrs.
Baumchen died yesterday and was laid out
for burial in her coffin in the house. Mrs.

to be kerosene. The oil soon exploded, set
ting fire to the house.
The body was badly burned before it
could be rescued and the three sons were
seriously scorched in reseuing it. Baumchen
was asleep and had to jump from an up
stairs window, while Miss Lizzie Stenger,
the nurse, was badly injured by Jumping

A SHERMAN VICTORY.
Another Legislative Nominee Captured by
the Senator.

WASHINGTON c. H, O., Sept. IS.
-[Special. IF. G. Carpenter was nominated
to-day by the Republicans of the joint Fifth
and Sixth Senatorial Districts. The lines
were closely drawn between the Sherman
and Foraker factions, but the vote to nomi-
nate Carpenter by scclamstion stood 80 yeas
to 2S nays. This is great victory for John
Sherman, as Carpenter is an uncompromis-
ing Sherman man.
Colonel W. A Taylor, the veteran news
paper man, who is keeping a close watch on
the Sherman Foraker fight, said that up to
date the Republican legislative nominations
are about equally divided between Foraker
and Sherman. although Foraker's friends
claim he is leading. There are 80 Republic
an representatives and eight Senators yet
to nominate.

Governor, and Mrs. Diggs, of Kansas, ad-

The Stuff Was Worthless and Intended to

LITTLE Rock. ARK, Sept. 15.-The pre-
liminary examination of j. L. Bay, the ex-
pert accountant of ex-State Treasurer
Woodruff, who was arrested about month
ago on a warrant sworn out by State Treas
urer Morrow, charging him with stealing
100000 in State scrip, was commenced to-
day. Three witnesses were examined, the
most important being Governor Eagle and
State Treasurer Morrow. The latter testi-
fled that the scrip was worthless and that
Bay took it from one of the boxes in the
treasury vault and placed it in another to
be counted as valuable assets, with the view
of offsetting to that extent Woodruff's in
debtedness to the State. The scrip alleged
to have been taken by Bay were so mutilated
as to make it impossible to tell whether
it had been ever issued by treasurer and
afterward cancelled or not.

Today the board of review of the
National Trotting Association Will meet
in New York city and . similar tribu-
nal of the American Association will
meet in Chicago. These boards are
the highest courts Of the respective or
CARNATIONS before which como all
questions arising over expulsions, sus-
pensions and other contested or sp-
pealed cases affecting horses and
owners. The case of Nelson and his
horse viii be heard before the Chicago
meeting. The particulars in the case
are generally known. 1t is claimed
that Nelson and Frank Noble of this
city entered into an agreement by
which the horse Nelson was to be per-
mitted TO win the race at Beacon Park,
Boston. over Alcryon. This coming to
the knowledge of the officers Of the
American Association, both men and
their horses we're expelled from the
association and unoer such expulsion.
from ali tracks where the rules of tn /,
two great national associations are OBJ
served. Mr.. Noble at once appealed
from this expulsion and until
the question is finally settled was
permitted to enter and trot bis
horses. Mr.. Nelson on the other hand
contended that the Beacon Park track
Was not q member of the American
Association and therefore had no juris.
diction. He at first denied the charge
of fixing" the race, but it is alleged
that he subsequently admitted it. and
it is claimed that he relies wholly upon
the claim first mentioned to escape a
final decree of expulsion by the board
Of review. Pending the hearing by the
board, President Beaman. exercising his
prerogrative. restored the horse and
owner to eligibility and the great stal
lion was therefore licensed to appear
last season. The most active friends
of Mr.. Nelson, in securing his restora-
ton. were d. J. Campau of Detroit,
and Don J. Leathers of this city. The
question will bs determined by the
board this week and upon its decision
will depend whether Nelson, the horse,
shall again attempt TO beat the worlds s
record. He has many friends who be-
lieve he is the fastest horse in the
world.
