HANCOCK Mich, Nov. l9-John Griff,
arrested on suspicion of having murdered
Fred Kramer and wife month ago,
signed a long deposition, in which he de-
mics having committed the crime, but ac-
cuses Ling Sam, Charles Mcdonald and a
man named Kelly of having committed
the crime, claiming that a woman with
whom Kelly lives told him so. The men
have all been arrested and deny the crime,
but do not tell satisfactory story and
will be put i'm the sweat box. Gritf passed
"A very bad night in Jail and toward morn
ing went into commissions.
He begged the sheriff to give him can
die to light his cell, saying that as long as
there was light he was all right, but that
he saw things in the dark and was afraid
that he would kill himself if left alone in
the dark The authorities feel certain
they have the right man in Griff, but say
the others may have been implicated also.

cred west of the city. Ii turned out to

During the first nine months of this
year our imports of dutiable goods were
$110, 46S, 966 greater than during the
corresponding months of 1894 The bulk
of these goods was such as can be made
in our own factories. Instead, they were
made in foreign factories. Work that
should have been done by American la
Dor was done by foreign labor. Wages
that should have been paid to Ameri-
cans were paid to foreigners. Assuming
that only half the value of these goods
represents their labor cost, then Ameri-
can labor has lost upward Of e66, 000,-
Oe0 in nine months of this year.

Crude Naphtha i'm Flames.

WHITING, Ind, Nov. 2o.-Thirty thou
sand barrels of crude naphtha went up in
smoke at the Standard Oil company's
works in a fire caused by an explosion Of
the accumulated gases in the big tank.
Three pumps were attached TO the tank at
midnight and every inch of hose owned by
the company was put into play. In this
way the fire was confined to the one tank
and the loss of hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of oil was averted. As it
is. the loss will reach nearly $5O.OOO

Nine months Value Of exports

During the first nine months of 1890
goods were, of course, being rushed to
your side TO avoid the tariff, but the
demand experienced even during that
exciting period was not equal 10 that
during the first nine months of the pres
ent year, and comparison will disclose
an excess of exports in favor of 1895 to
the extent of 1858, 195. To take an even
more extensive survey of the situation,
going back SO far as the year 1864 and
considering the figures for each inter
vening IL months, ii will be found that
only on three occasions during those 30
years has four millions sterling been
touched in the value of exports from
Bradford. In 1888 they reached "a, 1885,
9S4 in 1889, "a. 1922, 406, and in 1890,
"a, l12,61S Hence only once since 1864
have the exports for an entire year ex-
ceeded the total for the first nine months
of 1895. YANKEE
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1895-11-22

These figures exhibit some remarka-
BILE increases in the exports of wooden
manufactures from Bradford under the
German tariff during the IL months
ending Aug. 81, 1895. They were 6, 447
per cent larger than in the previous IL
months.
Bradford's exports of carpets and rugs
were S13 per cent larger in 1895, and
this with free wool in the United States
Bradford s exports of worsted coatings
were 437 per cent larger; of worsted
per cent; of wooden stuffs the increase
was 276 per cent, and in the sundry
articles of wooden manufacture there
was an increase of 100 per cent.
This is the actual result of our free
trade in raw wool Our wooden manu-
facturers were promised that, with free
wool, they would be enabled not only
to control the American market, but
also TO capture the trade in wooden
manufactures in the markets of the
world. The result, however, is that one
little wooden manufacturing district in
England is capturing the entire wooden
trade of the United States. The breach
in our wall of protection is proving
quite fatal both TO the producers of raw
wool and of wooden goods.
Worsted coatings, for the first time
this year, command the head of the list,
and what amount of labor is spent in
putting together fl72, 4S4 los. I'd.
worth Of goods must indeed be great.
But while the returns for one month
speak loudly, its voice is most stentori-
an when we consider what has been
done during the quarter ending Sept.
30, and also for the three quarters end
ing same date. Let the following COM
parison speak for itself:
Exports for September quar-
ter. ......... 81, $40. 4l3 Is lOd
Exports for June quarter. l,20,0l9 les Id
Exports for March quarter. l,3s9,74s IS Cd
Comparing these returns with the cor
responding quarters OF 1894, when the
Mckinley tariff was in operation, they
show the following increases:
Increase for September quarter. g, 2l9, $50
Increase for June quarter .......... LOAF ,5l9
Increase for March quarter ........... LIZ ,745
The quarterly average when the 1856
tariff was in force was 81 ,O33, 600 odd,
and when McKinleyism reigned it fell
to 1888, 900 odd What differencel
For the nine months of the year end
ing Sept. 30 the Bradford exports to
your side have totaled the gigantic sum
of "a, 30S, 965 las. 3D., whereas the to-
tai for last year mckinley year, was
but 81 ,6SS, 1l9-the increase for 1895
over the nine corresponding months of
1894 having been so far G3, 1888, 1916 1885,
1t requires, however, more than a COM
parison with the preceding year to form
proper estimate of the present deal
ings of Bradford with your side. The
Mckinley tariff greatly reduced the de-
mand for textiles from this side, and it is
therefore necessary to go beyond October,
1890, the period when it came into OPP
GRAFTON, TO make fair comparison. AS
an assistance to this end give the total
exports from Bradford to the United
States during the time the Mckinley
act was in force and four years previ-
ously. The figures are for the first nine
months Of each year:

SKULL ON ITS ANTLERS.
Story About Big Buck Deer Explained
at Last.

ATLANTA, Mich, Nov l6.-A story is
told in these part about big buck deer
with white halo around his head A
hunter from Clyde, o., was near enough
TO see white ball on the bucks head be-
tween the antlers. but he had heard the
story about the divinely protected deer
and did not shoot him. Many refused to
believe the story, thinking it bit of SUI
perstition, until the other day when a
hunter on his way from Mckinley to this
place, brought in pair of monster ant
lers. Impaled between them by several
prongs was the skull Of a full grown hui
man being. The CHASTITY empty eye SOCK
cts were fastened SO tightly as to resist all
efforts TO remove them. The skull was
nearly white from exposure. 1t looks as
il it had been ten years exposed to the
weather.

DETROIT Nov. 10 .-The terribly man.
gled remains of Luther II. Beecher, %
years OF age, and a member of one of the
most prominent families in Detroit, were
brought to his home. The body had been
run over by a Michigan Central train

that Mr. Beecher was murdered and
robbed and the body laid on the track to
cover up the crime. His watch, shoes
and $50, the contents OF his purse, are
missing. The perpetrators of the crime
are as yet unknown Two tramps were
arrested at Vassar on suspicion, but later
were released There is nothing to indi-
cate suicide. Beecher was making a
bicycle trip from Detroit, supposedly TO
Maysville and was seen at the next sta
ton two hours before the fatal train
passed. The engineer saw the body, but
not in time To stop the train.
