where ali the government armor is
made. The mammoth shears in the mill
were broken, entailing a direct loss Of
over $4,000 to the company. There
are three pairs of them used in the plant,
costing $4,000 each The worst feature
Of the wreck is that the damage cannot
be repaired for some time, as it will be
necessary to send to the manufacturer
al Alliance, Ohio, for duplicate, as the
break has rendered the machinery use
less.
Another big roll was broken in the
mill this evening, closing down another
department.

TO HAVE HER HEAD CUT OFF.
Also, to Have Her Right Hand Sew
cred at the Wrist.
The Body to be Tied TO II stake and Gre
nated--This is the Sentence ola Finland
Woman Who Poisoned Her Husband.


ST. PETEEsBrRG, Sept. 22.--Mrs. Sainio,
the wife Of Il professor in state college
at TeNaStepuaS. Finland, was found guilty
of poisoning her husband and in ac-
cOrdancc with the medieval law, which is
still in force there, she was sentenced to
be beheaded and her body to be affixed
to beacon and burned.
Mrs. Sainio is only about % years old.
She married the professor Ill 1880 and has
one child. She appeared to live happily
with her husband and for considerable
time the police were at q loss to account
for the poisoning Of the professor.
Finally Mrs. Sanio made confession.
She said she had bought stryrhnine
capsule, similar to The capsules containing
quinine that her husband was in the habit
OF taking. For days she heStated to com
init the deed, but one day, when her hus.
band asked her for some gnmine. she gave
him the strychnine She then kissed him
and went to her bedroom and put pillows
over her head, so she would not hear his
screams while he was dying.
1t was charged that Mrs. Sainio had been
unfaithful to her husband, carrying Oh a
liason with one of the students at the
college She strunuously denied this and
said that her motive in killing her husband
was to get the insurance of $1,000 on his
life, as she was deeply in debt
After conviction the case was carried to
the court of appeals and to-day decision
was handed down affirming the Judgment
Of the trial court, and adding to the pun
ishment to be inflicted on the unfortunate
woman 1t TRANSFERRED during the trial
that Mrs. Sainio had forged her husbands
name to checks for small sums, some time
before his death, and for this offence the
court Of appeals orders that her right
hand be cut off. Then she will be decapi-
tated and her body fastened to a stake,
covered with intlammable material and
set on fire. The sentence is most terrible
one, and it is thought that efforts will be
made to get the czar to commute it.
Information has been gathered about
Mrs, Sainio seems to confirm the view that
she is spoiled child, and never has been
able to take life in earnest. She has never
been moved by any great passions, but has
always been taken up with the thought as
70 how she could amuse herself in child
like fashion. In order to satisfy her great
desire for sweets, with which, by the way,
her husband supplied her literally, she
stole and borrowed without the slightest
hesitation
