Machine and Pftchfork Uaed
to End Two L.ves.
The most tragic OF double murders
Imaginable was enacted near Celina,
Ohio. Ballenbaugh Brothers thrash
ing machine was at work on Henry
Schlense's farm, AMI John Shrybock
and Frank Day, two old enemies, were
helping operate it. Sh,ybock let his
knife slip AMI cut Days hand. He ut
once ~apologized. but Day threatened.
In case it happened again, to throw
6hrybOck into the machine.
Presently Shrybock again let 1t slip
and cut Days hand. Day, to the
horror Of all present, then proceeded 10
carry out his horrible threat. Selling
ShrybOck around the waist he hurle1
him head first into the machine. The
engineer stopped the machine and
caught Day just a he was about to run
away. With the greatest possible din
Guilty the mutilated remains OF Shrybock
were extrlcated from the machine. He
was literally torn to shreds and to
recognize him even for what had once
been . human being would have been
impossible.
Henry Shrybock, his brother, was
hastily summoned. When he learned
what had happened his rage knew NO
bounds. Despite everything that could
be done, he seized q pitchfork and,
rushing upon Day, plunged 1t thrice
into his body. Day dropped dead at
once. 6hrybock gave himself up to the
authorities, and ives locked up ON .
charge of murder.

The lrst session u ths Ltd C0fi9rees
has paseed into history. The dnal ID.
i0urnment came at II O'Clock Friday
night. One Of the ANAL acts Of the SEES
sion was the passage Of the Durb0row

Fair. President Harrison signed the
Worlds Fair bill ut $40 o'clock, and

President Harrison drove to the Capt..
toll ct $50 O'Clock in order to sign such
bills o. might be passed duriag the expir-
Ing moments OF the session. The Prosi-
hort was accompanied BY Secretaries
Foster and Noble, Private Secretary
Halford and Q retinue Of White House
attendants. They went to thu historic
Presidents room In the lobby Of the
Senate, where the President immedi-
ately SGT about clearing away the pile
of bills which were engrossed and ready
for his signature. He was In light and
breezy attlre, with q white flower Ia
bis buttonhole, and the absence Of .
vest showed Z broad expanse Of white
ehirt-front. First came . number OF
minor bills to which the Presidential
signature was. affixed. Then came one
more bulky than the rest. It vas the
Ourborow bill, carrying 81. SOC, 900 to the
Worlds Fair. The President read 1t
through carefully and then, without
hesitation, picked up his pen to sign.
Here, take this pen," said Secretary
Halford, extending an ordinary stub pen
instead OF the one which the President
had been using. Mr.. Harrison took the
pen and scratched his name on the
parchment. Mr.. Halford ut once pos.
scssed himself Of the pen and bore it
away triumphantly. It was not until
half an hour later that the Worlds Fair
people learned. with not q littly chagrin
and indignation, that Col. Shepard was
to be the possessor Of the pen which
made the Worlds Fair appropriation an
assured fact.
Agreed Upon Adjournment
It was agreed by both houses that
the I'D. ournment hour should be eleven
o'clock. Promptly at that time Speaker
Crisp stopped the stream OF small legis-
1ation which was proceeding and an
nounced that the session Of the House
was adjourned without day. Immediate
