EACH Stark county commits
s%ioner, in his respective district,
represents a constituency asking
for a public bridge. The board is
confronted with long petitions
from each of the three districts,
and the time has come when some
decisive action is demanded. If
one bridge is built then all must
be, and this would incur an ex-
pense to the county of. between
$4,000 and $1,000. We have not
looked into the merits of the
bridge question sufficiently to say
that they are an absolute n%ecessi-
ty in each casc,, and therefore VIC
invite discussion on the subject
However, judging from the mel
who r asking for these bridges
we have no doubt that the people
are seriously inconvenience ir
not having them, and it is a mat
ter of a very short time when the
request will be officially granted
This being the case, how will the
money be raised? By a direct ia,
or by bonds? We would favoI

WASHINGTON, Feb. Eight of the
house members belonging to the al
lance and all third party men met at
the house of Representative Watson
Tuesday night and after discussing the
situation unanimously agreed to quit
Livingston and his coterie altogether.
The following statement was drawn
up and signed by the eight alliance
men present:
FOR the purpose of correcting ac-
counts which appeared in the public
prints in reference to dissensions
among alliance members of congress
we make the following statement:
Eat no meeting of the alliance con-
gressmen was there any resolutions in
troduced looking to our joining the
democratic or republican organizations
or casting our lot with theirs The
only dissension which arose was caused
by the fact that some alliance congress
men believed that our demands could
be secured through old party organ
izations, while others thought that in
dependent political action was neces-
sary. No division has ever occurred
among US whose names are hereto
signed We hold our organization and
conference just as we did at the begin
ming of congress and our meetings are
harmonious.

YOUNGSTOWN MYSTERIES.
Five Mysterious Murders Cause Much
Alarm and ANXIETY.


Alarm and Anxiety.
YOUNGSTOWN. Pa, Feb 4-Nothing
since the awful flood in the spring of
1889 has caused so much alarm as
series of mysterious murders that have
been committed within a radius of
twelve miles. Apparently all the FIVE
murders were done by one hand, but
so far detectives have been unable to
discover its owner.
On December the body of a well
dressed man was found in the woods near
Gallitzin with bullet hole in his head.
The remains were those of prosper
Gus looking man The theory of sui
eide, which at first prevailed, was dis
PEELED by the position in which the
body was found No clew could be OBJ
tanned as to his identity and he was
buried
A week ago the body of another man
was found about twelve miles away
with hole through his head. About
this time it was learned that George
Myers, n prosperous citizen of Fru-
gality, had disappeared. and the body
was identified as his. Myers had $500
on his person when he left home and
he had been murdered for his money.
Less than a week ago the decomposed
body of another man was found in the
woods near Bethel The clothes were
of good quality, but nothing could be
discovered to establish his identity.
The horrible butchery of old man
Kring and his wife and the cremation
of their bodies few nights ago is at
tributed to the same mysterious muir
derer, who is evidently hiding in the
noun tains ready to pounce upon any
victim whom he supposes has money

The boy ran into the street and called

He did not know for some time that he
had killed his father, as he left
his home as soon as he fired the
shots. In talking of the affair in
his cell he said: "If l have killed

Its Terrible Result to n Young Medical
student who Poisoned His Young Wife
and Was convicted of the Crime
New YORK. Feb. 3-For nearly a
month young Carlyle Harris has been
on trial he re for his life, charged with
having poisoned his girl wife, who at
the time of her death was an inmate of
a fashionable boarding school for
young women in this city. The mar
riage of the two had been kept secret,
but the mother of the girl, Miss Helen
Potts. learned of it and had pressed
young Harris, then a medical student
to fix time when the marriage of her
child should be made known. That
time was close at hand when the
young woman died and was buried
Fifteen days later rumors of foul play
having crept about the Jersey town
where the dead girls home had been,
she was dug up and an autopsy was
made and morphine was found in her
system Then the young man was ar
rested and the marriage was announced.
He admitted having given her capsules
of morphine and quinine as nervine,
but tried to cast the blame of his wife's
death upon the druggist who prepared
the capsules upon Harris student pre-
scription. 1t transpired that the young
woman had been before her demise
brought close to death by one or more
criminal operations made by Harris
The testimony showed that Harris
was fast one" with other women
aud boosted of his conquests. When
the case was given to the jury they
soon returned a verdict of guilty of
murder in the first degree.
Mrs. Harris shrieked and fell to the
floor. my God" she cried, where is
justice?"
There is no justice on this EARTH"
replied Harris younger brother who
held his mother in his arms
ats lie that he is guilty and from
such men as these" moaned the grief
stricken woman.
The convicted murderer turned to
comfort his mother. ''Carl is all
right" he whispered to her. There,
mother. it is only for a time. This
won't stand"
1.-THE recorder did it" cried Mrs.
Harris The woman was utterly over
come and it was some time before
her younger son and other relatives
were able to take her from the court
room
The recorder thanked the jury for
the attention they had given to the
case aud said that from the evidence
he did not see how any other verdict
could have been found.
