A Needed Want to be Supplied.

The Board of Directors of the Alfegha-
ny Bank, at meeting held on February
28th, determined to open a Savings De-
partment on the first of April. This is a
wise step. Many dime would be saved
by the ladies, and the boys and girls, if
they could deposit it in Bank. A boy
with ten cents thinks that amount too
small to put in Bank, and generally
speaking he is right, but the Savings
Bank is just the place to put it. 1t will
take all sums from ten cents up; and
when the amount reaches dollar, will
pay interest on it. The Bank will have
everything ready by April list, to begin
receiving deposits. There will be a
special window set apart for the pur-
pose, and Mr.. T. Wallace Cox. who has
been trusted employee of the Bank,
almost from its organization, will have
special charge of the Savings Window.

DIED IN PRISON.
Wife Murderer Granted a New
Trial just Before He Died.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 19.-Rev. Will
lam Petit, the wife murderer. was
granted new trial today by the SUI
preme court. He was sent to the pen
itentiary for life, and died there, today
before he heard of the courts decision.
The crime for which Petit was con-
victed was the murder of his wife.
He was a prominent minister at
Shawnee Mound, TIppecanoe county,
and the sensational charge against him
of having poisoned his wife created
widespread uotoriety. The main evil
dence against Petit was circumstantial,
involving his loss of affection for
his wife and his infatuation for
widow with means. 1t was
claimed that Petit gave his wife
strychnlne in cup of tea. Before the
poison could take effect she grew better,
and 1t was claimed that he continued to
administer the poison in medicine until
it caused her death. 1t was admitted
that strychnine had been scattered
about the house by Mrs. Petit
to kill rats, and it was the
purpose OF the defense to show
by Mrs, Ford, an aunt of Mrs. Petit,
that she had frequently cautioned her
against this indiscriminate use of the
poison. Mrs. Ford was considered the
most important witness for the defense,
but on the day set for the trial she was
absent i'll Oregon, and the defense
asked for continuance, which was re-
fused. 1t was upon this ruling that the
decision OF the lower court was reversed.

match began that either player had got
the credit of Is on the English table.
He was unfortunate in the following
frame, however, by making two
scratches, which made it necessary for
him to spot the next two balls he made.

securing IL in the following frame, run

of $50 10 517.

GREAT BATTLE TONIGHT.
Moore and Costello Both in Excel
lent Condition.

Moore and Costello Both in Excel
lent Condition.
This evening at the Twin City Ath-
letic club in Minneapolis will occur the
great scientific sparring contest between
Buffalo Costello and Dick Moore, twen-
ty rounds being the limit. Both men
have worked themselves into the best
condition, and the outcome must settle
the superiority between the two.
The first defeat out of a hun bred
or more contests is in store for one of
them, and which it is Is matter of
good deal of difference of opinion. Each
man has wide circle of admirers, who
believe that he is sure of success.
Moore, being st. Paul man, naturally
has rather more hackers here than Cos
tellO, but at the contest there will be a
good many from Chicago and Eastern
cities who will stand by Costello. 1t
will not be smuggling match, nor in any
sense barroOm performance, but
strictly scientific glove contest. Both
men are among the leaders of the latest
methods of Sparring, and are in no way
followers of the smuggling school which
has held sway since Sullivan knocked
Ryan ont at New Orleans up to within
about two years ago.
Billy Butts and John McDonough will
also amuse the audience with an eight
round scientific contest They are very
evenly matched, and the one who is
wise or lucky enough TO pick the win
ner will live IN clover for while.
A novelty will be introduced in the
shape of a number of Roman athletic
sports never before seen in the North
west. 1t will altogether be the best
athletic entertainment yet seen in this
part of the country.
