Ex-Governor John J. Jacob is dead
The summons came suddenly, yester-
day afternoon, while the distinguished
victim was actively engaged in the
prosecution of his professional business,
and in a moment he had passed from a
state of apparently perfect health to
uhconsciousness, and soon thereafter he
breathed his last.
Although he was stricken down upon
a public street, in the very heart of the
retail business district, he had passed
away before scarcely dozen people
knew of the terrible misfortune, and it
was fully half an hour before the death
Of the Ex-Governor was very generally
known.
The expressions =. sorrow, once the
fact was made known, were many, spon-
taneous and sincere Members On the
bar, politicians, business men, news
paper men, physicians, and all the vary
ing classes brought into contact with
the deceased, and who had opportuni-
ties to know and admire him, united in
their manifestations Of deepest regret
at his untimely taking off, and mourned
with common grief the loss Of

Cases Set for Trial

In the Criminal Court, yesterday,
Prosecuting Attorney Howard asked
the Court TO set day certain for the
re-trial of the case of State v. William
Groves, in whose case the jury failed to
agree, Thursday evening, and also for
day for ths trial of the similar case
against DR.. r. L. Ashbrook. After
some wrangling between counsel, dur
ing which counsel for defense made
some remarks construed as fOreshadow-
ing the arrest OF gentlemen prominent
In the prosecution, on the charge OF
perjury, the cases were set, that against
Groves for January 18th, and that
against DR.. Ashbrook for January 1Gth.
In this connection it may be proper tc
state that the statement in the IIltellt-
gencer yesterday morning, and copied
in the evening paper of last night, that
Judge Jordan had directed that the ex
penses OF the insurance officials coming
here from New York for the
prosecution be dsallowed, was ut
terly untrue. The expenses, which
averaged about SIS in each case, were
promptly allowed, as being right and
proper, and the order book of the Clerk
of the Court, which was open all day
Thursday for the inspection or news
paper men, set forth the fact. In view
of this, the mis-statement is rather pc
cullar, but hardly more peculiar than
other remarks which have been made
about the case.

earth of so prominent and useful 9 citi-
zen. Friends broke the terrible news
to the family OF the deceased, and about
five o'clock the remains were removed
TO Mendel & Co.'s undertaking rooms,
where they were prepared for burial.
and later were taken to the home OF the
family, No. $50 Main street.
After being acquainted with the facts
as above set forth, the physicians were
inclined TO attribute the cause OF death
to heart failure, although they said
there was a possibility that cerebral,
hemorrhage was the cause. For some
time the deceased has suffered from
heart trouble to. the extent that
the circulation was Irregular, but no
organic disease Of the organ had
ever been detected. Since August last
the Governor had not been i'll,
and had been attending to his profess
sionaI business and his duties as Presi-
dent of the Wheeling Electric Railway
Company, with no outward indication
that he was not in fair state Of gen.
eral health. In August he was some
what indisposed, and went to
Chicago TO obtain some much
needed relief from business
cares, returning much improved.
He could have had no premonition Of
the attack on his way down street, or
he would have stopped at the drug
store on the corner, which he passed
but single moment before he fell to
the pavement. Death came to him, so
far as consciousness of 1t was concerned,
with ell the suddenness Of an electric
shock, and most probably entirely with
out warning.

MiSassmsnl in The Groves Case.

The case of State v. John Johnson,
indicted for the burglary at the resi-
dence of John Auber. on South Market
street, about two years ago, when a lot
of valuable iewelry and other property
was taken, was called in the Criminal
Court. yesterday morning, and it looked
like an all day JOB. with not particularly
brilliant prospects for johnson at the
end Of it. The end came quicker than
was anticipated, however, and it
was good termination for
the defendant, for he was
accorded a verdict OF not guilty, with
the acquiescence of the Prosecuting
Attorney. Mrs. Auber, the principal
witness for the State, went on the stand
and gave her testimony, positively
identifying Johnson, but she unfortu-
nately fixed upon the wrong date for
the commission of the crime, as John
SON proved by abundant testimony,
that upon that date he was out the Bal
timore and Ohio road, many miles from
this city, and the bottom was out OF the
proceeding and verdict in favor OF the
defendant was returned.

Practical Talk by Prof. warmsn-At G.
A. x. Hall Tonight.


A. X Hall Tonight.
Prof E. B. Warman delivered his lec-'
ture on Physical Training last evening
to large and cultured audience at the
Y. NJ. C. A.. and like all his lectures
it was greatly enjoyed. He gave re-
sumo of all he said on the subject in the
different lectures and lessons given in
the city and much more. He especially
dwelt on now to breath, giving quite
number OF different exercises He is
firm believer in muscular Christianity.
He does not believe any one can be a
perfect Christian unless developed men
tally, morally aud physically. The
gymnasium as it should be, ought to be
part OF the church. He be-
Iieved that the minister ought not
10 think ID beneath his dignity TO
enter the gymnasium, and even 10 put
on the gloves. If he did this there
would be better preaching and brighter
theology.
he related several amusing incidents
concerning lighting clergymen, AID how
their physical training, and especially
muscular development, stood them In
good part. BE urged all young men to
give up both whisky and tobacco. The
athlete and prize-fghter when in train
ing is forced to give them up, because
they know they are injurious. How
careful should all young men be to alb
stain from their use. Be just as care
full Of the feet as you are OF the hand.
Wash them often. Change the
hose often. This for cleanliness
as we'll as health. he was not speaking
against the physician. The true physi-
clan is all right; be tries to prevent dis
ease and be thinks the time is coming
when the aim of the physician will be to
give advice instead of medicine.
Why do nearly all gymnaSts die COM
paratively young? There are many
reasons. Some develop one part Of the
body at the expense of the vital organs;
others kill themselves by eating and
drinking to excess.
Bow from the waist just as low as
you can go without bending the knee;
then go backward as far as you can.
Then both to right and left In the
same manner. Then turn around at
the waist from right to left and
from left TO right. This Is the liver
squeezer. These exercises are not new;
they have been given in the gymnasium
for years, but to no purpose. II is the
persistent, continued, regular exercise
that does good. Always carry the body
erect, standing over the ball Of the foot.
All business men should take fifteen
Minute nap after the noon meal. This
should he taken sitting. Eat whatever
you wish, II It agrees with you. II 1t
don't agree with you, then II you eat IL
you ought to be distressed.
At the close of, the lecture the profess
sor gave very fine exhibition OF Indian
club swinging, In which he showed
himself an expert In this as well as In
all he undertakes. The, exercise wa s
given in costume which showed the
well developed muscle to perfection.
This is his last engagement In Wheel
ing except tonight at G.. A. r. hall,
where he will be greeted by hundreds
OF his comrades.

that the Polander, being intoxicated,
got lost, and desired that the little girl

nal act toward her. At least that Is
what he said. The Polander was re-
leased.

SUPREME COURT VACANCY.
MnCh Speculation as to President
harrisOn's PurDOsc.

ASOS DOSC.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Speculation
is already rife over the succession of
Justice Lamar on the supreme bench.
The particular person who will
be chosen is not considered so
much as the question whether
President Harrison will make nomi-
nation to fills the vacancy or leave
the matter open for President Cleve-
lands action. 1t Is certain, in view of
the attitude of certain Democratic SEN
atOrS toward the nomination of Mr.. Nc
COmaS to be Judge of the court of the
District of Columbia, that a nomination
by President Harrison would be antag-
oniZed to the end of the session, and
defeated if possible. In view of that
fact it is possible the president
will not care to provoke a bitter
controversy and will take no action.
Should he decide to make a nomination,
the probabilities are that member of
the United States judiciary, member
Of Justice Lamar'S old circuit, will be
honored by the appointment. This cir
cult embraces Alabama, Georgia, Flor
ida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-At an Informal
conference of Chicago lawyers today, at
preme court vacancy caused by the
death of Justice Lamar was discussed.
Alexander Sullivan made suggestions
that commended itself as an equitable
mode of providing for eX-presidents in
a dignified way when they possess the
required legal attainments. 1t was
that at least a majority of
the senators petition President
Harrison to resign, that Vice President
Morton, who, the country, knows, would
make 9 dignited, safe and patriotic
president, nominate Gen. Harrison to
the supreme bench. Harrison's recog.
nized position as a lawyer would make
the appointment fit strictly on its merits,
while it would furnish the president
with hard work, the best solace in
his domestic grief, and make it unneces.
sary for him to return to his desolate
Indiana home. The suggestion was
received with favor, because it would
provide becoming position without the
feature of being a sinecure

OLYMPIA, Wash, Jan. 24.-Two bal

The vote stood: Allen, 81; Turner, %;

sent President Harrison and Secretary
of State Foster today. calling attention
TO the nomination of Frederick j. Grant,
of Seattle, for envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary to Bolivia
Dec. 90 last. The message then refers
to the haste made in the confirmation of
the appointment by the senate in order
that Grant might enter upon his duties
before Jan. f. The telegram goes on to
relate how Grant, instead of fastening
to Bolivia, is at Olympia, and deplores
the unusual spectacle of Diplomatic
representative of the governmentacting
as manager in senatorial contest. The
message closes as follows:
"You are looked upon as the model

Surprising Strength Developed by
a New Man.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 24.-The legis-
lature complied with the law requiring
that ballot for United States senator
be taken today. The Republican house,
by agreement with the Populists, had
the first roll call, which resulted as fol-
lows: Joseph w. Ady (Rep.), caucus
nominee, 81; g. w. Perkins, l: Ed
DENY, ?. Mes Messrs. Rosenthal and an d
Chambers Dem y voted for o. Brien, and
Meagher Dem.) for Carroll. In the
senate the vote was: Ady tRep.), Is;
John W. Martin (Fusion Dem.), 6; Nc
Cleverty (FusiOn Dem.). /; King (Pop.),
l; Doster Pop.). 10; Breidenthal Pop.),
6. In the POpulist house the vote was:
Breidenthal, II; Doster. 10; COburn, II;
Martin, 8; King, 3: scattering, II. All
the candidates are Populists.
The result of the ballOtng gives no
indication as to what the end will be.
Ady will. of course, stay in the race
until the Republican policy dictates the
abandonment Of Republican candi-
date, when there will be breakup,
and that element will be at sea until a
Democrat is taken up. In the Popuist
house Martin had undoubtedly the
most strength, although he was given
less votes than either Briedenthal or
Doster. AS an Illustration of this
Speaker DunSmOre, an avowed Martin
man, voted for eXGOv. Robinson. Other
equally strong Martin supporteS also
scattered their votes. This was in pur-
suance with the policy Of Martins wait
ing until his opponents in the POpulist
forces become willing to accept him in
preference to Democrat for the other
wing Of the party.
A boom for C0burn, Populist men,
Der from Burton county, diSturbs the
situation somewhat. He had not been
possibility till today, and the strength
that he developed mystilies the other
candidates. Many who voted for
him did so in order to scatter their
votes, but the fact that so many picked
on him gave him position
in the field which may destroy some
Well-laid plans. Interest centerS in the
joint convention tomorrow, when the
fight will shape itself. The end is not
looked for for several days. The Re-
publicans continue to regard 3. =.
Wagener, the staIWart Democrat from
AtchiSon, as the solution of the Situa-
ton.
The Republican caucus tonight made
Maj. j. X. Hudson their candidate for
state printer. The steering com
mittee advised the caucus to
change from Crane to Hudson,
because Crane had not been
able to control any outside votes. Crane
was indignant, and stated IN an inter-
view that he had been defeated by pol
iticians, who had kept Republicans away
from joint ballot each day in the house
so he could not get the full party VOTE
In the POpulist caucus tonight eX-
Gov. Martin was nominated for United
States senator on the fourteenth ballot.
