Biddy McAuliff of Riverdale ad-
dition, brakeman on the River
division of the @. III. V. g. Il. Ry.,
on Monday while doing some work
about his train while 1t was In
motion at small station called
Durgan in Gallia county had the
misfortune to slip and fall in such
a manner as to throw his left arm
under the wheels of the moving
train, eight wheels passing over
his arm before being rescued from
his perilous position. He was
brought to Logan and taken to the
Office ofDr. Campbell, the company
physician who found the member
so badly crushed that amputation
Of the arm between the wrist and
elbow had to be resorted to. After
dressing the amputated member
he was removed to his home where
at this writing he is reported as
getting along nicely.

SPA|N'S AGONY At IN END
The Peace Treaty Has Been
Finished and is Ready
to Sign.
OF FOURTEEN ARTICLES.
Each Side Accepted Notifications of
Original American Draft Pro-
posed by the Other.

Skeleton of tho Document-Matters Not
Connect cd with tho Pretocol Not Raised
United States to Return All spanish
patriate the Spanish Troops.
Paris, Dec. 10.-"A final, definitive
treaty of peace, containing fourteen
articles has been agreed upon. The
Americans said that their labors were
finished and that nothing remained bur
to engross and sign the treaty. Mat
ters not connected with the protocol
have not been raised, having been left
until after the resumption of diplo-
matte relations between Spain and the
United STATES.
The Americans held conference and
agreed to keep the treaty absolutely
secret until it Is reported to the
Senate.
Senor Ojeda, Secretary of the Span
ish Commission, who has taken his
countrys mis-. .ortune greatly to heart,
was Ill with cold and confined to his
bed. Senor iIaurrutia, member OF
the commission, acted as secretary in
his absence.
There is reason to believe that the
number of articles will be fourteen a
skeleton Of which is apprehended:
First-The REIMBURSEMENT of Cuba.
Second-The cession of Porto Rico,
the other Spanish West Indian islands
and Guam.
Third-The cession OF the Philippines
and the payment of $20,000,000 by the
United States
Fourth-The release of prisoners of
war and the evacuation of the Philip
pines.
The fifth article deals with the re-
turn of public archives and documents
and regulates the terms concerning the
surrender Of public buildings and
property.
The sixth article, treats Of the ma
tional status of Spaniards remaining
In the ceded territory.
The seventh provides for the mutual
abandonment of all indemnity for ma
tional or private claims.
The eight comedies privileges for ten
years to ships under the Spanish flag
trading with the Philippines.
The foregoing are the essential arti-
cles and will be probably as numbered.
Though the order of the subsequent
articles has not been determined, the
ninth will possibly arrange for the
release of all political prisoners con-
nected with the insurrection.
In the tenth the United States will
"advise the Cuban Government to ac-
cept the obligations falling on it under
this treaty"
The eleventh provides for religious
| liberty.
The twelfth deals with the powers
and Jurisdictions of Consuls.
The thirteenth treats of copyright
| patents and port charges.
| In the fourteenth the coilImissioIs re
| pectively recommended the ratification
of the treaty by the Senate and the
| Queen Regent.
The United States undertakes to re-
turn all the Spanish arms and flags
from the Philippines, and also to re-
patriate from the islands, at the eX
pense of the United States Govern.
ment, all the Spanish troops.

well-that of the republic Of Cuba. At

beginning Of the passage still third,

nine members of Battery Z, Sixth
United States Artillery, with three non.
commissioned officers, under command
of Lieut.. Copp. Gen. Miles, who hud
known and respected Gen. Garcia, de-
tailed the guard of honor as soon as he
heard Of his death, and later called
himself to leave his condolences
The news of Gen. Garcia's death
spread rapidly throughout the city.
President Mckinley sent a lette- 10
Gen. Garcia's son conveying an ex-
preston of warmest sympathy.
Gen. Garcia's death was feared, but
was unexpected. For forty years ae
had lived an existence which Injured
him to every hardship Of the field and
camp. He had passed through battles
and plaques, faced bullets and fevers.
and when he was attacked by a cold
while stopping in New York, he laugh
ed at the physicians who warned him
Of the danger attending a neglected
cough. Neither he nor his devoted
friends believed 1t was In the book Of
Fate that now, at the elimination of
his career and the beginning Of the
fulfilment of his most cherished hopes,
he could be stricken down. He was on
q visit to the great republic which hnd
rescued his oppressed native land, 10

greater nations in the sisterhood Of
republics be given 1t. He did not be-
lieve that after having passed through
as many perils it was destined tnat he
should die on the threshold of his final
triumph. So he neglected his cold until
1t developed into severe attack of
pneumonia.
He declined rapidly without realizing
how fast the end approached. On Fri.
day there was slight rally and hope
was revived. On Saturday he grew
worse, and for twelve hours before his
death he struggled violently and pitt
fully. Gradually his lungs refused 20
perform their functions and the air
cells became filled with carbonic acid
gas. Fortunately he was unconscious.
but his struggles for breath were very
painful to witness. He was asphyxi-
ated. In less than four days the dis.
ease, new to him had conquered.

Ed. l.. Davenport is Dead.
The Popular Printer and Editor Pass
ed to His Long Home on
Tuesday Evening.

Perhaps never more shocked was
q community than on Tuesday even-
ing when IL was noised from person
to person upon our streets, that our
townsman and popular editor, Ed.
L. Davenport, had suddenly died.
About three weeks ago Mr.. Daven-
port fell upon the slippery side walk
and sustained broken limb. We
called on him often and he was
cheerful and bearing his misfortune
admirably. At two o'clock on the
afternoon he died we called at his
home and assisted In raising him up
In bed 80 that he could lay more
comfortably, and he was cheerful
and seemed to be getting along nice
ly. At o'clock, while he was talk
ing to his wife, be suddenly put his
hand over his breast ana complained
of an awful pain, which was followed
by q convulsion. On the arrival at his
bedside few minutes later of his
daughter, Mrs. ]. X. Rochester, he
seemed to rally, and talked to her
pleasantly. A few minutes later he
closed his eyes, and had passed
l.
transition. The funeral service took
place this after noon from his home,
conducted by Rev. N. w. Good.
Ed Davenport was for years, fore
man and city editor of the Republi-
can Gazette. He was good printer
a popular and universally known ed
| itor. There was not man woman
or child In Logan but that knew Ed.
Davenport. He was fond of child
rem. No little urchin escaped his
notice. He would take them into
his arms, carry them down street,
and bring them back happily to their
mammas, besmeared with candy
and fruits. All the little children in
the neighborhood lovsd him, and
many young wives in our city today,
deeply sorrow in the death of "Fod-
die" Davenport, for when they were
toddling little children they watch
ed for him, as they would for a
Santa Claus and never were they
disappointed.
| Ed Davenport was prominently
connected with the publishing of the
Cincinnati Enquirer in that city in
his younger days. During the civil
war he was brave soldier, probably
one Of the youngest in the service
and distinguished himself with hon.
or at the blowing up Of the Sultana

the sufferings Of the surviving in.

prominently connected in this city
Has held many local offices and pub

Anderson Will Try for the Minute
 Mark in Chicago.

New York, Jan. 19-Anderson, famous for his bicycle rides beh nd steam engines, will appear in Chi cago on Decoration Day and again seek to beat the minute mark. In a letter received from him today by c. c. Ingraham, Anderson says:
 'I have the mile minute lee in my bonnet again. I am going to try and arrange for a mile run with a steam engine to pace me in Chicago May 30. This is no idle talk, but on the square, as I have things practi- cally fixed already. I vii le- ycu know the details a little later. have decided to put the whole affair into your hands for a final arrange ment."
 In the coming trial the use of coke for fuel and mechanical contrivances to prevent the escape of the ci ider S will materially aid him. The track between the rails at St. Louis was poorly constructed, and the jaTring of the engine and the one coach 50 dis turbed it that travel was made d ff1- cult. It is possible that a strip Of asphalt may be substituted for the board speedway.
