DIES MONIES MYSTERY.
Girl Believed to Have Been Dragged,
Then DROWNED.


DIES MONIES. Ia. oct. A.-The death
Of Mabel Schofield. whose body was
found in the Des Moines river Sunday,
has been a complete mystery until to-
day. 1t is now believed she was drug
ged and then thrown into the river.
The coroner's jury has been holding Sc
cret sessions, which are not concluded.
Three men. all of good standing in the
community, have testified that Sunday
afternoon they sawa boat come down the
river in which were two men and wo-
man. the woman lying on the bottom of
the boat motIonless. The men were
talking 10 her, but she did not move.
When they saw the schofeld girl, they
testified positively that her clothes were
the same as those of the woman in the
boat. 1t is established by the phyisl-
clan that she did not die from drown
ing, as the condition OF the body proves
this. The officers believe she was
chloroformed and then thrown in the
river. There Is no clue to the identity
OF her companions in the boat.

MoundsvIlle, Benwood & Wheeling
Railway Company at last nights meet

sired by the company was not present.
ed, but there was a test vote In the
company's favor on the adoption Of a
report declaring for the abandonment
Of the dangerous crossing at the Wheel
ing steel works. The ordinance will
come up at future meeting.
The council chamber was packed with
citizens interested in the proposed re-
moval OF the tracks from Main street
to the Kentucky Heights location.
and the meeting was breezy though
comparatively brle:. Mr.. sauers was
the only councilman absent, those pres
ent being Messrs. seabright, Holder
mann, Barrett, Hepe, Dolan, Geraghty
and Cuslck. Mayor Shepard presided
with considerable grace from his seat
on window sill, chairs being at a
premium. The company was repre-
sented by General Manager and secre-
tary Alfred PAUL, and its Benwood at
torney, Josiah Sinclair. The committee
appointed at the citizens Indignation
meeting to lay Us protest before cOun-
Gil, had as Its spokesman, Mr.. William
Hail.
The skirmish opened with Mr.. Halls
statement Of the situation, he detailing
the injury the track transfer would do
to business men in the vicinity Of the
present tracks. 1fessrs. Sinclair and
PAUL replied on behalf of the company.
The test Of strength came on Mr.. Gu
slck's motion to have a councllmanic
committee confer with five citizens rela-
tive to the crossing. On the call for
votes by the mayor, Mr.. Holdermann
said he wasn't ready to vote just then.
His vote was demanded and it was the
deciding factor in defeating the cusIck
motion. The vote STOOD:
Ayes-cuslck, seabright and Gtragh-
ty; total, 3.
Noes-Dolan, Hepe, Barrett and Hol-
hermann; total. 4.
Then Mr.. Cusick moved to withdraw
the ordinance from the committees
hands and return 1t to the company. 1t
was lost on the same numerical test,
The Joint committee on streets, alleys
and grades and ordinances and rules
hadn't other than verbal report, but
in concurrence with councils rules
Mayor Shepard insisted on a written
report. In few minutes, Chairman
Geraghty reduced the report to writing.
The report stated that the committee
recommended the abandonment Of the
crossing at the Wheeling steel works,
II it entaIled no injury to the welfare
Of the town. The report was adopted
without dissenting voice. the opposi-
ton apparently being satisfied with the
preceding test votes.
This matter decided, other matters of
less Importance were acted on. A petit
ton asking a postponement Of action
on an increase Of electric light rates
was needed, and adjournment soon fol-
lowed.
The result was disappointing to the
opponents of the track transfer. but the
fight will be renewed when the ordi-
nance is presented. The proposed new
line will extend to sixth street, along
the hillside, stopping at point oppo-
site the ferry landing.

Business transacted by the city cOun-
ell last evening was largely routine.
The ordinance granting the Wheeling
Railway Company franchise for new
lower South Side loop and q new piece
OF track on Cromwell street, Island, did
not come UP for action by council, as
had been anticipated. A large dslega-
ton Of Islanders was disappointed over
this development. It was stated by
Chairman Mccormick, of the committee
on ordinances which acted favorably
on the ordinance last week, that 1t had
been, referred to Solicitor NesbItt for
review.

Golden Globe: Before the elect
ion of 1900 comes we are to see
some wonderful political changes
inColorado and in jefferson county.
Several of the leaders in the Sill
yer Republican party are now
hedging and openly saying that
they will be with the old party in
1900 Senator Teller and A. NJ
Stevenson will in all probability
ally themselves with the democrat
ic party, but the bulk of the other
leaders are coming back. The
democrats who now have hold of the
political reins in Colorado purpose
to go it alone, as they believe from
the result of the Denver city cleo
ton that they hold the key to the
situation. Fusion is dead dnck
in Colorado, but it may quack
along through the coming fall
election Il order to die without
premature haste. The Globe con-
graduates the Republicans of JEFF
ferson county on the bright outlook.
Fusion in this county has made
such lamentable failure, with so
many promises unfulfilled, so many
blunders, and has been so unsatis-
factory that the people are dis
gusted. Fusion in jefferson
county has shown how politicians
will make chameleons of themselves
and go back on principal and
everything desirable in human
action in order to gain their ends.
We ask the Republicans of old
jefferson county to stand shoulder
to shoulder aud they will be irwin
cible. We ask all Republicans who
honestly believed they were doing
a good act when they deserted
their party TO come back nome,
Doubtless they believed that they
we e working against a gang when
they voted the fusion ticket, but
it is certainly .now apparent to
all of them that they simply GUST
ed one gang aud put another gang
in power and close corporation
it is at that. What we want ia
Colorado and in Jefferson county
is an honest administration by the
peoples servants and an economic
al expenditure of money, That
is what we had before the election
last fall and while the present Off
cials are honest and will do their
The Florence daily tribune., 1899-06-19

)est yet the disappointments and
mistakes that have occurred since
asst fall have shown that nothing
las been gained by fusion success.
rhe coming battles are between
he Republican and Democratic
parties in Colorado. The result
we do not fear, for Colorado and
Jefferson county are Republican
by a good margin.
