Charged With Neglecting Case for
Which He Was Counsel.
MACoMB Qll.), March 15.-The Board of
Supervisors has passed resolution in
structing the States attorney to COM
menee suit in the McDonough County
Circuit Court against United States SEN
ator John NJ. Palmer for damages sus-
tanned by the county on account of GEN
eral Palmer's failure to properly look
after the county's interest in the May
jail-lock cases.
In 1885 the May Lock Company brought
suit against McDonough County for the
use OF locks in the County Jail which
May claimed were infringements on his
company's patents. In 1888 the case was
carried to the Supreme Court and the
county employed General Palmer to act
as its attorney.
The case came up in the midst of the
campaign when General Palmer was the
Democratic candidate for Governor, and,
being SO busy with political matters, he
allowed the case to go by default Me-
Donough County was consequently not
represented, and Judgment for about
$500 was rendered against the county.

Her Crew During Storms.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 15.-The Amer
lean ship Frederick Billings, which ar
rived from New York last evening, had
a disastrous voyage. Five of her crew
were carried overheard in a sudden
squall, and one a few weeks later fell
from aloft to the deck and was killed.
The ship left New York on October 3Ist.
All went well until November 9th.
While six men were aloft furling the
royals, three on the fore royal yard and
three on the main royal yard, squall
struck the ship, and the fore and MAIN
topmasts broke off at the eyes, coming
down with a crash. Five of the men
were never seen after the accident. One
saved himself by grabbing the rigging.
He sustained but few bruises. The vessel
could not be worked, and the sails and
spars had to be cut away to clear the
wreck.
The following few weeks were occu-
pied rigging the ship, which was finally
completed, enabling the vessel to proceed
as If nothing had happened.
The second accident occurred on Janu-
airy Sd, when William Creighton, a native
of New York, fell from the maintopmast

TIFFIN tOhiol, March 15.-"Walter
Snyder has shot Ed. Naylor, Burt Gro
baugh and Thomas Downey, and killed
himself" This was the announcement
that greeted the people of Tiffin while
they were going to their places of busl-
ness this morning. Snyder was aged 45,
was unmarried, and was one of the most
popular men of the city. Naylor and
Crobaugh are members of firm which
employed Thomas w. Downey. They
were formerly clerks, and were recently
admitted to partnership with John M.
Naylor, in the hardware business. AS
they were clerks before, comment was
made when Snyder, also clerk, was not
taken. 1t has since been learned that
Snyder, though worth, perhaps, $40, 900,
had his money SO tied UP in real estate
that he could not take an interest in the
business. 1t seemed perfectly satisfactory
to him at the time, but later it proved
upon his mind. lie entered the store this
morning and found the others already
there. He made pretense of desiring
Crobaugh and Naylor to examine the
contents of box which he had Just re-
ceived by express, and when they were
at his side he shot them both, then turned
the revolver on Downey, who had en-
deavored to save the lives Of the others,
and finally killed himself. Crobaugh
will recover. Downey was hit three
times, and recovery is not probable. All
stand high. Business has nearly been
suspended in consequence.
1t is not thought possible for Naylor TO
recover. Business was paralyzed for the
day, the tragedy being one of the greatest
sensations occurring in this part of the
State. The street in front of the premises
was blocked by thousands of people.
1t is learned that Snyder took several
drinks of whisky prior to the shooting.
A line of blue around his neck is sup
posed to have been made by an attempt
to commit suicide during the night.
