tell where in the city Mrs. Dimmick lived.

Harrison had been consulted and had ac-

General Harrison himself was not at
home to any one, Friday evening Neither

the Mckee or Russell Harrison families.
and so there was an abundance of gossip
floating about, all interesting, but all
purely speculative Anticipating the an
nouncement and the publicity that was
sure to follow, Mrs Dimmick had left tho
home of her sister, Mrs. Parker at No. 40
East 3Sth street, early Thursday, for the
house of Il friend.
The friendship existing: between Gen
eral Harrison and Mrs. Dimmick began
many years sinca Forty-onc years ago the
general, then only a graduate from the
Miami university, married the daughter
of the Rev John W. Scott, who was pro
fessor of chemistry In the institution His
father gave him $500 with which to begin
life on, and with only that, his talents and
the help of his wife, he built up his
fortune. Mrs. Harrison was supreme in
the household. The present Mrs. Dim
mick was her favorite niece. She practi-
cally was adopted by the Harrisons, and
grew up as one of the family until a hus-
band claimed her

lHE CHAIN SLIPPED.
Peculiar and UnintentionaI
Suicide of Fayette Man.
Charles Dyke, Wishing to Frighten
Family, Makes a Bluff at Hanging.
The Chain Slips. Dyke Soon straneIes and Is
Dead When Found.

"aterville, Jan. -tSpecial) )-Coro.
ner W. W. Edwards in conversation with
the journal Saturday evening, gave what
he believes to be the facts regarding the
death of the late Charles Dyke of Fayettc.
1t will be remembered by the Journal
readers that the body of Dyke was kept in
church for seven days awaiting the az
tion of coroner, the selectmen not being
willing to allow the body buried until a
coroner had examined into the case
Finally Mr.. Edwards was called and
found that there was sentiment abroad
in the land in favor of the foul play theory.
Mr.. Edwards soon ascertaned that
Dyke had had quarrel with a man, the
morning of the day he was found dead
and that there was a bruise on the cheek
where 1t IS said Dyke had been struck.
Mr.. Edwards came to the conclusion
that Dyke did not intend to harg bimself,
but thought he would scara his family,
who had sided against him in the morn
ing's quarrel.
Dyke took rope on the end CT which
were several links of chain and Il hook.
passed the links around his neck and
hooked onto the rope then leaned forward
to choke himself SO that if discovered he
would have the appearance Of being hung
BY leaning forward the hook had slipped
down close to the back of bis neck, out of
his reach, and the unfortunate man
strangled to death, having un,ntentionally
suicide
Dykes friends know of no reason why
he should commit suicide, and cannot now
accept any other reason for the result than
that it was accidental death

All Stories of Weakening Of Triple

Berlin. Jan. l9.-All stories in circula-

utterly without foundation. None Of the
powers concerned, according to this au-

Both the Berlin and Vienna govern

an unsettled condition of trade that it
will take years to straighten out before

PHILADELPHIA, April 1.-James
NJ. Swank, general manager OF the
American Iron and Steel Association, in
response to request from the Asgoci-
ated Press for a statement regarding
the rumored combination Of steel COM
paries, said to-day: II have no definite
information about q pooling arrange
ncnt. but any arrangement among man
ufacturers Is iustthable that secures n
fnir reward for capital and labor and
does not unfairly advance prices. There
is no danger that prices will be thus ad-
yanced. Our iron and steel manufnc-
turers have never yet taken undue ud-
vantage OF their customers"
The numerous financial failures
among Iron and steel manufacturers
during the last three years prove that
the price OF iron and steel, with the eN-
ception Of the short-llYed boom Of last
summer, have been too low TO be profit
able to capital and insure good wages
10 labor. The prices OF coal and coke
and iron ore have also been too low
for, all concerned In their production.
Tho prlces Of these raw materials and
az the finished products derived from
them have been lower than ever before
known in this country Recently the
prices OF raw materials have been ma
tcrlnily advanced by concert OF action
among producers, and this action has
made ft absolutely necessary that the
manufacturers OF iron and steel shrould
also materially advance the price OF

Election day in this state proved an
ideal one for the voter, and throughout
the state the indications are those of
a very heavy vote. A strange feature
has been the disappearance OF a con-

have been entirely on local issues.
With only iive districts in the state
to hear from at midnight, Governor
Lippett is reelected by a plurality Of
over 10000. The total vote, with five
missing districts, is as follows:
For governor-Lippett, Rep, 25,l15;

NEW YORK, April l.--Representa-
tiyes OF the iron and steel industries Of
the United States will hold meeting
In this city tomorrow, probably at the
Hotel Savoy. At that meeting some
thing may be done regarding the regu-
latlon OF prices OF iron and steel. The
recent advance In the prices OF steel
bliletS and rails was made necessary.
II was said by an iron man here to-
dav, by reason of the increase In the
price OF iron ore which recently won't
into effect. Some such advance In the
price OF billcts and rails would have
been Ecnorally made irrespective OF
whether there was n steel pool or not.
