Death of Mrs. Betsy Robson.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 22.-The death of
Mrs. Betsy Robson occurred Sunday
morning at her home in Mentor. She
was born in New York state in 1916,
and was the widow of DR.. j. p. Robi-
son. With her parents she settled in
Bedford in 1881. Dr. and Mrs. Robson
were close friends of Gen. j. A. Gar
field and assisted him materially in the
early days of his career. During the
war the Quintinkle club was formed by
DIR. and Mrs. Robson, Gen. Garfield,
Rev. j. II. Jones, of Bedford, and Rev.
Isaac Errett, of Cincinnati. Each mem
Der was pledged to support the others
in time of sickness or other trouble.
Annual meetings were held until the
death of DR.. Robson in 1889. Rev. DIR.
Jones is the only surviving member of
the club

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
Close of the Conference at Minneapolis
The Bishops Pastoral Address.

Close OF the Conference at Minneapolis
The Bishops Pastoral Address.
MINNEAPoLIs, Oct. 23.-The pastoral
address of the bishops of the Protes-
tant Episcopal church was given out
yesterday. It is largely routine in
character, the most interesting points
being those in reference to the mas
sacro of Christian missionaries in China
and the Sunday observance law. In
reference to the latter matter the ad-
dress says:
Recent events in some parts of our
country compel us to call your earnest
attention to n widely spread and deter
mined attack upon the use and the pur-
pose of the weekly day of rest known
from the beginning of the Christian era
as the Lords day. 1t is declared in the
law of God to be His own day, and by
the Saviour of Man to be made for
man 1t is protected by divine com
mand and by the perpetual sanctity of
human right. Men may and ought to
worship God every day; but for the
greater assurance of this duty one day
in seven has, with the formal sanction
of all Christian civilization, been set

der cannot be disturbed without grave
evils to the individual and the family,
to society and the state"
The convention on this, its last day,
showed an apparent minority of dele
gates remaining, evidently only enough
remaining to constitute quorum for
the winding up of necessary business
details. A message was received from
the house of bishops containing joint
resolution constituting the missionary
district of northern Texas. Action
was concurred in without debate. DIR.
Hoffman, of New York, moved that a
committee be appointed to inform the
house of bishops that the house ot
deputies had concluded it's business
and was ready to adjourn. A message
from the house of bishops announced
its recession from it's action concerning
the binding of the hymnal with the
book of common prayer.
Gethsemane church was crowded al
the joint meeting of the two houses il
the afternoon at 3 o'clock. The pas
toral letter was read and the Episcopa
general conference of 1895 closed sine
| die with the usual services.

A Very Polite burglar.

DATToN, Oct. 19.-Mrs. Ella Patter-
son stepped into her room at the fe-
male seminary and was confronted by
burglar. The burglar had toilet
case full of her jewels in his hand, and
this made the woman mad. She shut
the door and showed fight. The burg
lar laughed at her anger, closed the
case and put it under his arm, whipped
out a revolver, pushed her away from
the door, kissed his fingers at her and
disappeared down the stairs. Mrs.
Patterson followed to the street as
quickly as possible, but the fellow es-
capped in the darkness.

Disastrous Fire.

GENEVA, Oct. 1s.-The Enterprise
Manufacturing Company's works,
owned by Knapp & Pratt, were de-
stroyed by fire early Thursday morn
ing The FIRE originated from stove
in the foundry building. The main
building, timing department, foundry
and engine room were completely de-
stroyed, only the walls and stack
standing. The total loss on buildings
and contents will foot up $4,000 or
$25, 600, on which there was an insur-
ance of $4,000. The company manu-
factured hardware specialties. About
thirty men are thrown out of employ
ment. The works will be rebuilt

ject of his book and current politics,
Senator Sherman said: 1.-The review of

warrant any such construction. | was

Tin Plate Industry.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Special Treas
ury Agent Aver has submitted his re-
port covering the tin plate industry of
the United States for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1895. The facts pre-
sented show marked increase in tie
number of mills for rolling the steel
sheets or black-plates which form the
body of commercial tin and terne
plates; terne plates being plates which
are coated with mixture of tin and
which are generally used for roofing
purposes. The largely increased con-
sumption of steel sheets from Ameri-
can rolling mills, indicates not only
the accelerated growth of this branch of
the industry but an actual preference
for American rolled sheetR

Alarming Ravages of typhoid Fever.

COLUMBUS, Oct. 1s.-The prevalence
of typhoid fever throughout the state
has become alarming. The fall of the
year is always most prolific in this
scourge, but this fall seems to be
eclipsing all previous records. The san
itary condition of the state is bad. The
lack of water and impure quality of
what little water there is has produced
serious condition of affairs. Deaths
from typhoid are being constantly re-
ported, and every day scores are striclS-
en- down. Towns and cities along the
rivers and lakes, where the water sup
ply is abundant but polluted, have
been suffering more than communities

AURORA, ILL.,, Oct. 22.-Edna Brown
German, of Kaneville, and her famous
letter chain for the cancelled stamps,
has come into public notice again. The
Volume of letters which the chain had
caused to pour into the little Kaneville
post Office for time at the rate OF
1000 per day, had dwindled down to
almost nothing until week ago. Now
letters are beginning to come from En-
gland, the chain in some way having
been put in circulation there and the
number received daily is about 500.
They are stacked up against the walls,
piled in rows, slowed away in dry
goods boxes, grain sacks filled with
them and great pile of unopened
ones in the center of the large room,
the size of haycock.
While it is proving nuisance both
to Mrs. German and the postmaster, in
the end it will not prove Improbable

Rebuttal Testimony Proves Damaging to
the Prisoner-The Defense Rests.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23.-Gen. Dick
inson announced yesterday in the Dur
rant trial that the defense rested its
case and the prosecution Immediately
began to put in its testimony in rebut-
tai. This was damaging to Durrant
and included evidence as to the notes
of DR.. Cheney's lecture on the after
noon of Blanche Lamont's disappear
ance which he obtained from a fellow
student. Five trustees of che Enan-
uel Baptist church were called and de-
MED that they had about the time of
the murder, given any instructions to
Durrant to repair the electrical appa-
ratus of the church. They admitted
that previous to that he had been re-
quested to make repairs and in Janu-
ary had been asked to correct defect
in the apparatus connected with some
bells, but none of them had spoken to
Duerant at any time about repairing
the sun burners. The prosecution ex-
poets to begin its argument this week.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 90. - Yesterday
morning at 9 a. m. the formal three
days session of the sixth annual con-
ference of the Unitarian and other
Christian churches was opened in this
city. In the absence of Senator Hoar,
of Massachusetts,, Dorman b. Eaton,
of New York, presided. The opening
address of Rev. George Bachelor,
chairman of the national conference,
was an exhaustive history of the prog
ress of Unitarian organization in the
United States. The convention adopted
the following resolutions presented by
Dr. Bachelor:
Resolved. That the serious and increasing
corruption and venality developed in recent
years in connection with the government OF
American cities has not only made good munic-
ipal administration much more difficult and
costly but has so obstructed the advancement
both OF morality and religion as to make 1t a
grave duty OF all friends OF municipal reform
TO exert themselves for the arrest of such evils
in the future, and to make common cause in
urging all good citizens to discard mere party
spirit and interests and to unite in common ef-
Tort Tor GOOD municipal government, without
regard to their party affiliations.
Resolved, That this congress wishes to ex-
press its profound sense OF bhe serious nature
Of those evils which have their origin in habits
OF intemperance and In the demorali2ing intiu-
ence of the trafic in Intoxicating drinks. These
evils not only cause the needless expenditure
Of vast sums of money without useful results
the serious impairment OF physical and mental
energies, the general debasement of character
and much Of the corruption in politics and
government but they are also a chief obstruc-
tion to the triumph of morality and religion q
reproachment to enlightened and Christian
