pnIanned lis wife.

The sensational investigation of the
death of Mrs. w. III. Thacker, of Ben
zonia, whose body was eXhumed after
burial because of the suspicious incl
dents previous TO her death, makes
n strong case against the husband.
Thacker was enamored of former
servant girl and she had at one time
been the cause of very strained rela-
tions between Thacker and his family.
During Mrs Hackers last hours she
developed the strongest symptoms OF
arsenical poison and the only thing
she had eaten was bowl of graham
mush prepared by her husband. These
incidents taken together caused the
citizens to talk and as result the body
was exhumed and an analysis by Prof,
Gomberg, of Ann Arbor, revealed
arsenic in the stomach, liver and brain.
The coroners jury after hearing the
testimony rendered a verdict that:
1.-The said Anna Thacher came TO her
death by arsenical poison administered
by her husband, w. ii. Thacker, at hSs-
home in said township of Benzonia.N

COAL STRIKE TO END.
A COMMITTEES OF OPERATORS
AND MINERS AGREE.
Being Decided Upon to go into Effect
ern Illinois In 1t.

Columbus, o: The Joint committee
on scale, composed of operators and
miners, after working three days came
to an understanding. Each side ex-
pressed a feeling that circumstances
elsewhere had placed an agreement
here in jeopardy, but each would try
to effect an agreement if possible.
On the third day at the close of a
long executive session, the scale com
mittee announced that an agreement
had been reached. The compromise
was on basis of go cents for Ohio and
90 for western Pennsylvania. The
agreement to take effect June IS, the
miners desiring to have Il week TO sub
nit the matter to the various districts,
as much opposition to the compromise
is expected and the miners will have
to be prepared to accept it.
At the joint conference in the even
ing the agreement was ratified. A. A..
Adams, president of the Ohio miners,
who was member of the scale com
mittee, refused to sign the agreement.
The settlement, however. is final. The
scale agreed upon is as follows: Pitts
burg, thin vein, 90 cents; thick vein,
So cents; Hooking Valley, 60 cents;
lnuland, DlLulnlnOuS, bO CtuLS' Huldud
block, 20 cents; Streator, ILL.,. 62 y
cents for summer and 20 cents for
winter; Bloomington, H., 77H cents
for summer and 81 cents for winter;
Lasalle and Spring Valley, H., ~ \
cents for summer and so cents for
winter. Other sections in northern
Illinois fields at prices relative to the
above.
The scale of prices will be in effect
and bind both parties thereto, Begin
ming June Is. 1894, and continuing
until May 1, 1895; provided that the
above named scale of prices for the
Pittsburg district shall be generally
recognized and observed. The operat-
ors and miners shall cooperate in their
efforts To secure a general observance
of said prices, and if during the period
covered by this agreement general
recognition Of the prices named herein
cannot be secured. either party TO this
agreement may call meeting of the
Joint board of arbitration and deter
mine whether the agreement has been
sufficiently complied with TO warrant
its continuance.

Destructive Forest Fires.

Specials from Ishpeming: A general
panic is in progress in this region due
TO the depredations of forest fires.
Sldnaw, numbering town situated on
the Duluth, South Shore x Atlantic
railway, is terribly scorched, and Hub
bells extensive saw mill plant is COM
pletely wiped out. The greedy flames
were seen advancing upon Nestoria,
and the little village at the junction
only escaped certain destruction by a
favorable turn of wind Two bridges
Immediately west of Nestoria have
fallen prey to the flames thus sus-
pending all freight traffic on that
branch of the road, and a number of
cars were also burned.
Clowrey, on the extension of the Chi
cago g. Northwestern, is being sur
rounded by a veritable lake OF fire. All
cars have been switched out by the
road and preparations are being made
for the worst. j. c. Fowles' lumber
output for the past season remains
stacked in large piles at Clowrey and
it seems doomed to go up in smoke.
The loss of property already aggre-
gates thousands of dollars and the fire
shows no signs of abatement.
Marquette: Forest fires are giving
serious trouble. The depot, hotel, n
large store and several dwellings at
Sagola, village 80 miles north of Iron
Mountain on the Chicago, Minneapolis
81 st. Paul road were burned, also
about 81 900 worth Of shingles and ties.
The timber is very dry and the grass

smoke hang over the hills and darken

have not been seen for days. If heavy
rains do not soon fall the loss of prop
erty will be enormous and in some
places even life is il imminent danger.
The numbering town of RRbicoa,

stroyed by fire. A store and five dwcll-
ings were burned, including the tele-
graph Office The wind changed in

Before the DAYS of Anaesthet,c,.

The introduction Of anesthetics
marked great era in the progress
OF surgery. Before the effects OF
chloroform and ether were known it
was the great object Of the surgeons
to operate as rapidly as possible, so
as to keep the patient in pain as
little time as possible. No time was
wasted In elaboration, and the knife
and saw were used without stopping
to check the flow OF blood. But that
has all been changed. Now the pa
tient breathes in tho vapor OF an
anasthetic for few minutes. and
sinking into a deep sleep, lies a
motionless, unconscious body, upon
which the operator can work care
fully and deliberately. He knows
that he is causing no pain, and can
take oil the time necessary to mako
the careful explorations and carry
out the numerous precautions which
are now known to be necessary TO
secure tho best results

A HOT BATTLE.

strikers Kidnap -Four workmen and n
Fight with Deputies Follows
Four Americans who had been work
ing in the FriclS Coke company's works
at Valley, Pa, went to New Haven
TO take the cars for az visit TO
their homes at Uniontown. A mob
of strikers-all Slavs and Huns-from
the works about New Haven, discov-
cred who the men were and surrounded
them, beating them numerically.
Tags bearing the inscription black
legs" were fastened on their backs and
their clothes were covered with chalk
marks. The strikers then marched
their captives around TO the different
works and held them up as samples of
scabs.
The four prisoners were subjected to
all manner of insults and indignities
and were especially ill-treated when
their captors marched them TO their
homes, where the women and children
slapped and spat upon them and called
them vile names. The women at every
plant they passed were the most vio-
lent in their abuse of the ''scabs" and
the little children screamed "blacb-
legs at them and struck them with
their tiny fists.
The Fricll company heard of the per-
ilous position their workmen were in
and called on Sheriff Wilhelm TO re-
lease the men from the custody of the
mob. Deputy Matt Allen and six men
were sent to New Haven. They were
misled by false information, the friends
of the strikers battling them at every
turn, but they followed every clue
they could find and were securing the
country all night and at daylight they
arrived at Lemont almost exhausted.
Very early hundreds of strikers as
sembled on the commons and when the
deputies came up and demanded the
release of the kidnapped workmen the
mob raised howl and surrounded the
seven officers. Allen warned the mob
TO keep back, but the reply was vol
ley of stones and one shot was fired
full ut Aliens Lea /. Allen called
upon his men to fire, and the battle
was on. The deputies retreated
slowly to the end of the grounds and
made a stand. Three strikers went
down and the mob recoiled; the
deputies did not continue the fight.
although their forces were reinforced
by the arrival of 10 more officers.
Fully 60 shots were fired on each side,
beside wagon load of stones and
clubs, yet none of the deputies were
seriously hurt. Unbiased testimony
is in the main to the effect that the
mob not only provoked but compelled
the deputies TO fire on them.
One striker killed in his boots, two
others dying and another shot through
is the result of the battle. A large
number must have been wounded, but
as they were carried away the number
cannot be told.
The deputies identified six of the
more active strikers in the fight and
subsequently arrested them, and zoe
more arrests will follow. Another de-
tachment of deputies were at once
formed to go in search of the four men
held prisoners by the strikers, but not
trace of them has been seen. and it is
feared that they have been murdered
by the strikers in revenge.

OHIO REPUBLICANS
Name Candidates for Several State ON
ces and Pass RESOLUTIONS.

The Ohio Republican state conven-
ton was held at Columbus with ex-
Secretary Charles Foster as permanent
chairman. Gov. Foster recounted the
unparalleled prosperity of the country
on the day of the national election in
1892; praised the Mckinley law and
Tom Reeds quorum counting rulings;
said that from the very day of Cleve-
lands election business confidence be-
gan to be impaired, and business con-
ditions have continued on the decline
from bad to worse ever since.
Gov. Mckinley was given an ovation
on entering the hall: Auditor of State
Poe read the report on resolutions,
which was adopted with frequent APP
plause. The platform reafiirms the
principles of the Republican national
convention of 1892 and indorses the
administration of Gov. Mckinley;
praises the Mckinley bill as the ablest
expression of patriotic principle of
protection yet enacted; denounces the
Wilson tariff bill, the senate amend
ments and the compromise" substi-
tute; denounces the attempts TO
destroy reciprocity; denounced the Ha-
waiian policy of the present admins
tration, and the pension policy; de-
mands legislation to restrict undesir-
able emigration; and favors bimetallism
and advocates such policy as will, by
| discriminating legislation or other
wise, most speedily restore to silver its
| rightful place as money metal.
When tho balloting for candidates
| had ended the result was: 5. NJ. Taylor
was renominated for secretary of
state no opposition. John A. Shanck,
of Dayton, was nominated for Judge
on the third ballot over +. J. Dickman,
candidate for denomination, and John
A. Price. c. l.. Groce was renominated
for board of public works. and o. r..
| Carson for school commissioner. The
state central committee, after the con-
vention was over, selected Major c. w.
f. Dick, of Akron, as chairman of the
executive committee; John X. Molloy,
of Columbus, secretary, and William
Burdell. of Columbus, treasurer. The
other members of the executive COM
mittee will be chosen later.
