Bloody Work of a Masked Man at an Ohio
Farm House.
AKRON, O., March 30-At q late hour
last night masked man entered the
farm house of Alvin NJ. Stone, near
Talmadge, few miles from this city,
and in brief space of half an hour
committed horrible butchery. When
he took his departure Stone and his
wife, both aged people. were lying
dead in bed, horribly mutilated, and
Ira Stillson. the hired man, and Emma
Stone, the eldest of the three daugh-
tiers, were unconscious from blows dealt
by the murderer. Hattie. with the
blood streaming from the wounds in
her head, managed to reach a neigh
boris house. told her story and then

bed, the neighbor, calling for help.
went to the Stone house. There the
evidences of the butchery were discov-
cred. The only person in the house
who was able to speak was Flora
Stone, aged 16, and she was badly
frightened. For this reason all she
could tell was that the man who COM
mitted the crime wore a mask over his

TiLLMAN is AMBITIOUS.

He VIII Seek the Dem ocratfc Nomination
for President and the Endorsement OF
Popuiists.
WASHINGTON, March 80 = Senator
Tillman proposes to be the leader OF
the silver men at Chicago. and has so
strengthened himself with that ele-
ment in various ways that it is not be-
lieved his supremacy will be ques-
toned. If the silver men control he
will play for the nomination, and has
every reason to believe he will sue
coed. because affairs have SO shaped
themselves, or. to give him due credit,
he has so shaped them, that with him
alone will the free silverites have a
chance of success. He will bring to
the Chicago convention positive as
surance that if he is selected the popu-
lists at their convention in St Louis,
and also the bimetallists, will ratify
his nomin alton. No other man that
the free silverites can put up can
give any such assurance. Tillman,
therefore, will be their only hope.
Senator Tillman is booked to make
speeches in ST. Louis and Denver in a
short time, and, to use the phrase of
one of his supporters, ''he is prepared
to set the west on fire." He proposes
to extend neither a right nor left
hand to the opponents of silver With
him it is to be war to the death. He
has written a letter to a South Caro-
lima paper, in which he reiterates his
intention to bolt the Chicago conven-
ton if it fails to declare for free silver.

YOUNG BURGLAR BAGGED
CapNlred After an Exciting Chase by
the Police Authorities

Detectives Steele and Goodman on
Sunday evening lodged youth of Is or
10. named Ernest Dunn, in the city jail,
and in him they think they have secured
the burglar who has of late made his
presence felt in the western portion of
the city. Dunn will probably be pros
ecuted on at least two charges, one the
burglary of Edwards grocery store on
Temple street and the other the robbery
of the drug store at the corner of Tenn
pie street and Belmont avenue last Fri
day night.
The capture was made after dark Sun
day evening. and the officers had an eX-
citing time landing their man in jail.
The detectives went out in buggy, and
Goodman went to the young mans
house and placed him under arrest. He
was walking along the street with him,
when suddenly Dunn gave lunge, broke
rolled Gown a steep embankment fully
twenty five feet high, so steep as to be
nearly straight up and down. AS 1T
happened, Steele was near the bottom,
and saw the fellow when he made off.
He followed as fast as possible, and the
fugitive was finally run to cover in a
barn. Lights were procured and he was
discovered hiding under manager,
dragged out and off to the station in tri-
umph. A large amount of plumber was
recovered including some $40 worth of
cigars taken from the drug store. Young
Dunn resided with his parents, who are
respectable people, and keenly feel the

thinks that he is a Democrat. These
three men have been prominent in the
convention Of their respective parties,
but the labor they are now engaged m
is simply an outrage. One of them is
acting a traitor to the man who was the
unanimous nominee of his party and
against whose honor. integrity and offic-
ial record not one word can be said.
The water company is making the
fight of its corporate life to defeat Mr.
Snyder and necessarily to elect Mr.. Mar
tin. 1t is proceeding to the task system
aticaily and expects to accomplish its
purpose by the introduction of side is
sues. BY the circulation of base and
foundationless stories 1t is seeking to di
vert votes from Mr.. Snyder.
But as far as the practical effect of
these stories is concerned the friends of
Mr.. Snyder have no fear. They stand
prepared to meet every one of them and
Furthermore they are on the look out for
them.
Experience, however, tells every one
that the influence of coin in local cam
paign is great, and it has been given
down to the people by one of the great
Republican authorities of California
that Wealth is king in peace or In
war" If the wealth and power of the
water company can bring it about Julius
H. Martin is the next mayor of Los An
geles.
On the other hand, if the people rise
and assert themselves, if they will de-
clare unqualifiedly for municipal own
ership of the water works. for honest and
economical government of the city, indie
pendent of the dictation Of the allied viii
lainies, NJ. P. Snyder will be elected as
mayor.
The political forces of the Southern
Pacific, further than the work they have
done in conventions, have not as yet
lined up actively for battle. They were
all-powerful in the Republican city con-
vention. Mr.. Martins managers and the
man whose successful wire-pulling Sc
cured him the nomination is in the en-
ploy of the Southern Pacific and is the
Republican boss of the Second ward.
In the Democratic city convention the
railroad influence was simply nit. 1t
was thrown as a unit against Snyder's
nomination and it was very poor show
ing for the great corporation which is
famous for handling nominating con-
ventions.
The railroad company will have nu-
merous matters coming up in the next
two years and with Mr.. Martin in the
mayors chair it feels confident that it
will have things its own way. Mr.. Mar
tin worked for the railroad company
for twenty years and his sympathies are
naturally with it. He left its employ
about year ago. but he still has sundry
relatives in its employ.
If it is DESTROYS of turning the mayors
office over to the water company and
the railroad company the thing to do is
to elect julius H. Martin.

DEMOCRATS ORGANIZE
An Executive Committee Is Named to
Conduct the Local Campaign

Chairman Telfair Creighton, after con-
sultation with the candidates, has ap-
pointed the following executive com
mittee of the Democratic city central
committee. which will conduct the cam
paign:
First ward-John Yoakum.
Second ward-M. c. Marsh.
Third ward-A. w. Fisher.
Fourth ward-Dr. D. w. Edelman.
Fifth ward-W. d. Woolwine.
Sixth ward r. w. Dromgold.
Seventh ward-W. f. Keller.
Eighth ward-A. p. Hills.
Ninth ward-M. 7. Collins.

ty committee rooms. Every member of

Water company are in the field, quietly
at work in some wards and openly at
work in at least one that has been dis
covered.
The Eighth ward is naturally Demo-
cratic, or rather anti-Republican, by
about 500 majority, and here the water
company proposes to do it's most effect
i've work to accomplish the aim it has in
view-the defeat of NJ. P. Snyder for
mayor and the election of Julius H. Mar
tin.
BY the judicious use of coin in this
ward the water company will endeavor
to materially reduce the vote of Mr. Sny-
der.
Yesterday ten hired agents of the cor
poration were placed at work in the
Eighth ward. Their instructions were to
simply poll the ward as to how the voters
stood on Mr.. Snyder's candidacy.
The idea Is to ascertain the standing
of every citizen on the mayoralty matter
and then with the list at hand the water
company will be enabled to proceed sys-
tematically to take from Snyder by
money used judiciously and by the aid
of influences that it can bring to bear
all the votes it possibly can.

names of seven of these workers in the
Eighth ward, and at the proper time it
