AN OHIO MURDER.
A Woman's Confession May Lead to
Conviction of the Criminals.

WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE (O),
Oct. 6.-Eleven years ago Louis Ball
was foully murdered here, his head be-
ing cut off with a razor and his head
and body laid across the railroad track
in such a manner as to appear that he
had been killed by a train. Abraham
Huffman was arrested for the crime,
but was released for lack of convicting
evidence. Others were suspected, but
it looks now as if the deathbed confess
sion of Mrs. Jeffreys of Hilsboro. o.,
just made in the presence of four per-
sons whom she called to her death
chamber. will reveal the identity of the
murderer.
Mrs. Jeffreys implicated herself. an
other woman and four men, giving
their names. She said that she held
Balls head while a man cut it off with
a razor; that the blood was allowed to
flow into a tub, which was afterwards
concealed under a house, and that the
other woman held Ball on her Ian
while his head was being cut off. The
men carried the body and head to the
railroad track to cover UP the crime.
The persons implicated live in and
about the city. Detectives have gone
to Highlands County for additional ev-
idence, and a big sensation is looked
for to-day.

in Wisconsin,.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. Gone man
killed, three cars burned and a Iocomo-
tive wrecked was the result of a col
Hslon between a passenger and a
freight train on the Chicago and North
western Railroad, about seven miles
south of Milwaukee at an early hour 10
day
The trains which collided were the
passenger train No. II, which leaves
Chicago nightly at 1870 D. m, and an
extra freight, both north bound. The
freight train was standing on the main
track, and the accident was caused by
failure of Engineer Lane of the pas
serger to notice a block danger sig
nal.
The passenger train crashed into the
freight, t. lescoped the caboose and set
it on fire. THE locomotive toppled over
sideways, burying Fireman Thomas
Duckwall, whose dead body was taken
out several hours later The engineer
escaped.
The flames communicated to the mail
car and also a freight car containing
tea next to the caboose, the three being
destroyed All the mail, with the eX-
ception of one or two sacks, was saved,
and the mail clerks escaped unhurt
The passenger train was in charge of
Conductor H. S. Smith, Conductor w.

Camp Thomas, General Boynton VOL
unteered the suggestion that there had
been no complaints from Southern SOL
dfers in the camp. And" he contin-
uei, Il do not believe we would have
heard half the outcry that has been
raisedf if ALL thei soldiers had been from
the South
General Dodge said that only two or
three charges had been received from
the South, and they We're not from
soldiers.
The testimony of General Boynton
concluded, the commission adjourned
until afternoon.
General Fftzhugh Lee was before the
committee at its afternoon session.
General Lee had no complaint to make
in regard to supplies. In June, while
the expeditions were being gotten off,
there was some delay, but this was
natural, and since them supplies of all
kinds had come with regularity and in
abundance.
There have, of course" he said,
"been some complaints. Soldiers are
like schoolboys; they sometimes COM
plain even when there is no occasion
for complaint"
He thought the army ration was
abundant, and in the main well suited
to a campaign in a tropical climate
Yet he thought some changes might
be made. For instance, it would be
better to send live animals to CubG.
than to send refrigerator meat, as at
present. According to his ideas, the
men should have more fruit and less
meat. During the course of the ques-
tioning it developed that General Lee
was notified that he would be expected
to move his corps to Cuba in the vi
cinity of Havana about the 1st of No
vember, and that he considered his
troops properly equipped for the cam
paign.
The Spanish uniforms he thought
better adapted to a tropical climate
than ours, as they We're cool and could
be washed. He was fearful that the
shirts and blouses of our men would
be found. too heavy for comfort
General Lee, made the significant an
nouncement that he was counting upon
landing in a friendly country, as he
had received direct information that
the American troops would be well
coined, not only by the Cubans but by
the Spaniards as we'll. Pc said the
conservative and property-owning
Spaniards were especially desirous to
have the American troops come for
the preservation of order The health
of his, troops had been good-only about
? per cent being sick

CHAPLAIN MCINTYRE.
Proceedings Before the Court Mar

DENVER, Oct. 6.-When the court
martial trial of Chaplain Mcintyre OF
the battleship Oregon was called this
morning, DR.. W. Z. Wilson, the at
tending physician of the accused an
nounced that his patient was suffering
from nervous prostration which made
it impossible for him to appear. Re-
storative remedies were being admins
tered, however, and he might be able
to appear by IL o'clock. Court took
recess until that hour
Upon the reassembling Of the court
the Chaplain was in his seat. DR.. w.
E. Wilson, who testified as an expert
yesterday, gave further expert testi-
mony. He gave the opinion that the
condition of Chaplain McIntyrc's s
nerves when he reached Denver or the
effect of eighteen grains of quinine or
of an ounce of brandy would have had
a tendency to incapaciate the Chaplain
for connected and orderly mental ac-
tivity
AT the afternoon session Attorneys
Doud and Cranston, for the Defense
argued the question raised yesterday
as to the competency of testimony pro-
posed to be introduced by the prose-
cution for the purpose of impeaching
the credibility of the defendant.
The Judge Advocate had asked Chap
lain Mcintyre about conversations he
had had prior to the date of the lee
ture, the purpose being to prove that
he had previously made statements
similar to those alleged to have been
made in the lecture.
Chaplain Mcintyre denied the alleged
conversations, and the prosecution indi-
Gated the intention of introducing evil
dence to contradict his testimony.
The attorneys for the defense took
the ground that such evidence was inn
proper. long argument followed
The court overruled the objection,
and then adjourned for the day.
