ONCE MORE THE NAME OF
MURRAY CITY is STAINED
BY A SHOCKING CRIME,
AND AN INNOCENT
AND GOOD LADY
Becomes the Victim of a
Drunken Brute.
The Unlawful Passion of n Widower,
for the Faithful Wife of Another
Culminates When
Isnac Edwards In n Fit Of jealousy
Shoots and Mortally Wounds
Mrs. j. Sellers.

Isaac Edwards In Fit OF jealousy
Shoots and Mortally Wounds
Mrs. j. Sellers.
Hooking County will have, in all
probability, another murder
trial, one which comes from the di-
rect action of the worst passions of |
the human mind when inflamed by
liquor.
AT about two P. M. on Wednes-
day, one Isaac Edwards, shot Mrs.
John Sellers twice in the body in
flicting wounds which are almost
necessarily fatal.
All the parties in the tragedy
lived in Murray City, both Ed
wards and Mr.. Sellers being coal
miners, who, together had come
from some part of Pennsylvania to
Murray, some four years ago.
Edwards wife had died in Penn
sylvania, and just previous to her
demise had requested Mrs. Sellers,
who was childless, to care for her
orphaned children, which trust
was accepted and faithfully per-
formed.
After the parties came to this
State Edwards made his home
with the Sellers family until few
months ago. 1t is said that during
this time Edwards conceived a
violent passion for the foster moth
er of his children, the frequent ex-
hibition of which led to his being
ordered from the premises by Mr..
Sellers.
This was some months ago, since
which time Edwards has been liv-
ing in shanty ny himself.
Since his expulsion by Mr.. Sell
lers it is rumored that Edwards at
tempted to induce Mrs.ssS. to elope
with him whica she sefused to do
Maddened by jealousy and crazed
with liquor, Edwards secured 3s-
caliber revolver Wednesday after
noon, went to the rear of the Sci.
| lers house where Mrs. Sellers was
peeling potatoes for supper, and
without a word of warning deliber-
ately fired three shots, two of
which took effect, one in the left
side below the heart, which ball
has not been found, the other in
the left side of bowels passing
through the body and coming out
above the right hip.
! Edwards then cody returned to
his shanty near by, where he was
soon arrested.
News of the cowardly deed
spread like wild-tire, and soon talk
of Iynching was indulged in. He
was placed under guard and on the
O'Clock train was brought to Lo-
'. gan, by way of Nelsonville, and
lodged in Jail.
Had he remained in MurrayCity
over night he would most likely
, have been lynched.
Mr.. Sellers was working in the
mine at the time the tragedy oc-
Cured.
Mrs. Sellers is still living, at last
report, but there is scarcely Il hope
of her recovery.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sellers are highly
respected, and the dastardly crime
has cast an angry gloom over the
community who deeply sympathise
with the afflicted parties.

Geo. L. Harrington, Esq.

Dear Sir:
Replying to your inquiry as to
what I think of your excursion
trips to Chicago, will say that we
found everything as you stated.
The train over the Buckeye Route
arrived promptly on time and the
transfer in carriages to the Hotel
Barrett made a pleasant mornin g
ride. We went at once to the
rooms assigned US, and our trunks
were sent up almost Immediately.
The rooms in the Hotel Barrett
are very pleasant, clean and ele-
gantly furnished, and the cafe
furnishes all one desires at reason
able charges.
would especially commend
your excursion to gentlemen de-
string to send their families and
who for any reason, are themselves
unable to leave. We Appreciate
your personal attentions which re-
lieved us from all anxiety and

HUSBANDS GOT MIXED.
A Young Wife Didn't Know One From
the Other.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record
jamestown, Pa, Oct THE misfor-
tune of having a double" who so closely
resembled Thomas McCobb that his own
wife could not tell one from the other re-
suited in such a furore in the United
Presbyterian congregation that husband
and wife were both dismissed The right
of man to wed the sister of his deceased
wife was also feature of the case.
McCObb and William Clyde, of the
Shenango United Presbyterian congrega-
ton, looked so much alike that the ses-
sion, the Presbyterv, and finally the
synod itself, had trouble over it.
They were both members of the She
mango congregation. Thomas McCobb
had three pretty cousins in Philadelphia
and admired them all. He became en-
gagged to the eldest. When she Tilted him
the second sympathized and married
him. In the course of time she died
Her younger sister, having in the mean
time become rich by fortunate invest
ment in Oil lands, had been living with
the McCobbs for several years, and con
tinued with Thomas McCobb and his
parents and the children.
BY and by Newton Fletcher happened
to be over in Greenville one day, when
justice of the peace pointed to Thomas
McCobb on the street and said:
Il married that man an hour ago to Miss
Blank, - naming the youngest of the three
sisters.
Newton Fletcher came home, and the
news soon spread among the congregation
that Thomas McCobb had married his
deceased wife's sister, contrary to the
rules of the church. The session of elders
took it up. Thomas denied it, and said it
must have been William Clyde. The
justice of the peace was confronted by all
concerned in the presence Of the session.
That's the man / married, ~ he said,
pointing to William Clyde. William de-
MED it.
'Then it must be that other one. ;"
Thomas denied it, too.
That's the woman, anyhow, and that's
the bonnet she had on. She must know
whom | married her to!
The woman looked from Thomas to
William, and back again, and stood mute.
She didn't seem to know which was the
husband,
The case was appealed from the session
to the presbytery, and when they were
all ready to try it somebody had stolen
the records out of one Of the pews. When
they finally did decide it, it was taken to
the synod on appeal.
Then it was decided that McCobb was
the husband, and he and the wife were
both dismissed from the church.

The M a cic Number,

From the earliest ages, men have at
tached something of mystery and
magical character to the number seven
The classic world had it's seven wonders
Greece had her seven chief cities and
her seven sages. The law given from
Mount Siani made the seventh day a
holy one. The Rainbow presents
seven colors, 1t was favorite number
in the abstruse calculations of the an
cient astro!ogers, and has been much
used as basis for those WHO attempt
to unravel biblical prophecies. The
Burlington Route has on it's line
seven cities which are foremost in the
Great West and we'll worth a visit
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha
Kansas City. st. Louis, and Denver.
Between all these the burlington Route
with its magnificent yestibuled trains,

The indications are that the extra

The indications are that the extra
session of congress will at once become
a great arena of debate. 1t is called
expressly to deal with the financial
question. Then the people ought to
prepare themselves for great debate
upon the currency. The session at
which the Mckinley bill was passed
was notable for the great debate upon
the tariff, as have been many Of the
recent sessions like the one when an
attempt was made to pass tile Mills
bill. Not many people really know
much about the currency question.
1t is more complicated even if such a
thing were possible than the tariff
question. Let there be light shed
forth in the coming great debate, but
let it not be obscured by too much
silver-tongued oratofy.

Ladies Chase 4 TraMD.

Two women on the east side OF the
city routed a tramp out OF town to-
day. He went to one house and got
his fill Of that which appeases the
stomach and Il little bundle OF pro-
vision besides, which he took with
him to meet the eXigencies OF future
occasions when the stomach should
again be in a depleted condition.
And presumably thinking the neigh
borhood was a pretty liberal one he
went to the next house also to get
more provisions. The first lady
watched his movements and became
indignant when it appeared that he
wanted to take away so much OF
the staff of life and it became evil
dent that he wanted to supply a
horde of tramps. He had told Il
good smooth story about his mis-
fortune and did not appear to be a
professional tramp, but when it
became apparent that he was the
situation changed. The first lady
therefore went over to the neigh
boris house and the two ladies to-
gether chased him out Of town with
brOomsticks and water. When last
seen he was running Il suburban race
at a rate: Of speed that greatly ex-
ceeded the fieetest foot racer Little
Falls has yet seen.

The next reciprocity convention
will be held at Duluth on Oct. 10,
and the call for the meeting has just
been issued by the executive commit
tee appointed at the St. Paul conven-
ton last month. The meetings so
far have developed that the Canad-
Inns generally possess too much re-
gard for England to be willing to
enter iato any trade treaty that
would give this nation an advantage
over England in the markets Of the
Dominion. AS long as Canada is I'M
willing to sacrifice England to help
herself there will be no advantageous
reciprocity in trade between her and
the United States.

School Land Sale,

There was a sale OF school lands at
the county auditors office today
The state auditor did not
appear, hence Auditor Ellenbeckel
conducted the sale. There We're
thirty forties sold and they are
located in most every township of
the county, the sales not being con-
fined to any portion. It all sold for
IS per acre, the minimum price, eX-
cept one piece in Agram township
which ssold for $3.50. The p'1r
chasers were all from Morrison
county which shows that farming
pays here else the farmers would not
want more land.
