all Church street cars.
THE nripN of admission captc f0r

LOOKED SUSPICIOUS.
Davenport Had Been Murdered,
But 1t Was q Case of Suicide.

Coroner Lambach was summoned to
the Eldredge block in Davenport to the
rooms of Mrs. James Weldon, where the
body of Mrs. Ada McCrellis was found
dead on the floor in such a condition as
would indicate q violent death. A bot
tie containing a small amount. of car
bolic acid was found OF the mantel,
Suicide was thought to be the cause Of
death, but from the actions and mud
died statement Of Weldon. the officers
became suspicious and after a cross-ex-
animation he was taken to the station
and locked up pending a c%oroner's In
quest. An examination Of the body de-
veloped the fact that carbolic acid had
been the u of death, the mouth and
throat having been terribly burned by
the fiery liquid and the stomach being
found to contain a large quantity of the
acid. Several bruises were found on the
face of the woman, and these marks, in
addition to the poison in the stomach,
led to the belief that foul play might
have been. the cause. The jury decided
it was suicide.

GREAT COAL FIND.
Persistent Drilling Near Webstsr
City Lays Bare a Rich Bed Of
the Black Diamonds.

The greatest discovery of coal made
in the vicinity of Webster City for 49,
years resulted from prospecting made
under the direction Of President w. C.l
Wilson, of the Webster City g. South
western road, commonly known as tbs
Crooked Creek. His road now operates
the Crooked Creek coal mines at Lee
high, with an output Of about 5000
tons a month.
These mines, together with all the
other Lehigh mines, are on the west
side of the Des Moines river. On the
east side of the river are several miles
of bluffs and great hills, almost moun-
tains. Forty years ago Mr.. Wilson
thought he saw in those hills evidences
that there was coal there. He was so
strong in this belief that be purchased
a section and a half of the land and had
his men drill for coal, but always in
vain,
Two weeks ago he employed a force
of men, picked out the spot in which
he wanted them to drill, and gave them
just one order before he left: II want
you to drill until you strike coal"
They drilled. far under the usual line
and struck a vein Of coal 6h feet in
height. The coal compares well with

the busy life Of the great city came to
a sudden stop. Many houses were
cracked. The National palace was
cracked in II places, and in some places
the sidewalks were broken. The cleo

MANUFACTURERS MEET.
Fourth National Convention Begins
Its Session in Cincinnati
Over 1000 Present.

Cincinnati, Jan. 25.-There were
over 1000 prominent manufacturers of
the country present at the fourth an
nual convention here Monday. Many
additional arrivals were registered last
night, sothat the attendance will be still
larger for the next two days. While
the morning and afternoon sessions
were devoted mostly to hearing the an
nual reports of officers and committees,
yet the spirit of expansion pervaded
everything that was done, including a
future policy of increasing the mem
bership of the National Manufacturing
association during the closing year Of
the century to at least 5000 and provid-
ing such a fund in its treasury as to
make it a most potential factor in the
extension of foreign trade as well as
in American interests, including the
new possessions of this country. Presi-
dent Search used a gavel that had In
its construction samples of wood from
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
and the addresses in the presentation Of
this gavel and in its acceptance were
really the key notes of the occasion.
The national association held it's first
meeting in Cincinnati four years ago
and 1t is evidently the intention at this
meeting to reorganize it by expansion
INTO an association that will really rep
resent every manufacturing interest In
the United States, Canada, and in fact
a comprehensive pan-American organi-
cation.
