A WOMAN In 1T.
New Philadelphia Man Takes
the Paris Green Route to
the Great Beyond.

Canal Dover, O., Sept. 11.-Edward
Mcintosh, a well known resident Of New
Philadelphia, respondent because he
had lost his position, and the affection
of the woman he loved, committed sui
eide yesterday by taking paris green,
after an alleged attempt to poison his
sweetheart.
Since the sale Of the New Philadel-
phia Iron and Steel company to the
trust Mcintosh has been out of work.
He had been paying attention to a well
known New Philadelphia young lady,
who, 1t apears, did not return his af-
fection.
Early yesterday morning Mcintosh
called at the home Of d. Jones, who
lives near his lodging place, and ap-
peared to be i'll. An effort was made to
relieve him when he hurriedly left the
house. Shortly after daybreak as Mr..
Jones was leaving the house, he found
Mcintosh lying dead on the lawn. Some
paris green was found on his clothing.
Later in the day evidence of paris green
was found in the we'll water used by
the family Of the young lady to whom
Mcintosh had been paying attentions.
The dead man is aged 35 years. He
is brother to Mrs. George Reeves, wife
OF the well known Alliance, Ohio, man.
ufacturer, and an uncle to AL. Reeves,
formerly manager of the New Phila-
delphia Iron and Steel company.

from their moorings, and stranded In
the bay. The Kendall Castle was car
ried over the fiat from the Thirty-third
street wharf to Texas City, and lies in
the wreckage of the Inman pier. The
Norwegian steamer Gyller Is stranded
between Texas City and Virginia Point.
An ocean liner was sailed around
through the west bay, crashed through
the bay bridges, and Is now lying in
few feet Of water near the wreckage
of the railroad bridges. The steamship
Tauton was carried across Pelican Point
and is stranded about ten miles UP the
east bay. The Mallory steamer Alamo
was torn from her wharf and dashed
upon Pelican Flats and against the bow
Of the British steamer Red Cross,
The stern of the Alamo Is stove in and
the. bow of the Red Cross Is crushed.
Down in the channels to the Jetties
other ocean steamships lie grounded.
Some schooners, barges and smaller
craft are strewn bottom side up along
the piers. The tug Louise, of the Hous-
ton Direct Navigation Company, is also

dead and missing and to get anything
near an approximate idea of the mon
etary loss. 1t Is safe to assume that
one half Of the property Of the city IL
wiped out, and that one-half Of the res
idents have to face absolute poverty.
"The wreckage from Galveston litter'

into them, after about 20 minutes
deadly firing.
WE CHARGED THEM

WE C1AHrbD THEM
Down into the ravine we plunged, and
up over the rocks on the opposite side,
which brought us almost face to face
with the foe. They could not stand
that, for our fire was terribly accurate
at such short range. Not shot went
wide of the mark. We cut them down
like grass while they were retreatng,
Following them for eight miles over
hills and mountains, and breaking them
up badly. They will not organize soon
again there.
"On our return to town, the colonel
| ordered all supplies and commissary to
be burned. We burned over so carloads
| of rice and corn, and confiscated a lot
| of army medical chests. We came
back at o'clock in the afternoon, with
| about 100 prisoners. We had no cas-
| ualties whatever, while the insurgents
had 154 killed and over 200 wounded.
We also captured quite a number of
rifles and ammunition.
| Since that, things have been very
quite. Headquarters and the band of
the 2Sth were ordered to this place,
where we arrived on the Goth inst. The
third battalion has been detained here
since April 25. This Is very good
town. We are but 80 miles from the
city of Manila, thus affording us more
and better supplies.
POOR FOOD.
At Taal we had fresh meat three times
during our entire stay there-eleven
weeks. Here we get it three days out
of seven. Our boys were all pretty we'll
run down owing to the hard work we
had done at Taal, beside not getting the
, proper rations Taal is quite distance
, from Manila, and 1t is not very often Il
boat goes there. Many of our boys are
In the hospitals with dysentery, due to
a great extent to the rations they are
! getting. One would think that our gov
ernment would look into such matters
a little more closely, as her troops are
everything to her in this country. If
this is to keep on Uncle Sam will be
. short of soldiers before long. The VOL
unteer regiments will be mustered out
before long, and don't know of any in
o our regiment who cares to re-enlisr.
So it Is with the other regiments that I
have run across on the island. I for
one have been having good health, but
my case Is an exception. I have been
e buying chicken and eggs from the ma
n tives, so the government ration was
f only a secondary consideration with
4 me.
: II think I will be home about Feb
d ruary or March, If not sooner. They
e are going to commence sending the
r volunteer regiments home in Novem-
e ber, but I don't know whether we will
:, be the first or not. Regards to all my

CONDEMN M'KINLEY.
Methodist PrOtestants Attack
the Administrations Can
teen Policy.

Coshocton, Sept. 11.-When the Mus
kingum conference Of the Methodist
Protestant church was about to wind
UP the business of it's annual session
in this place the temperance people
created a sensation by introducing res
olutions condemning President McKin.
ley. They follow:
1--WE condemn the present admins
tration, which in the face Of full power
to prevent it, has allowed the liquor
traffic to extend its withering curse
over the insular possessions and de-
Tendencies Of our government, which
thus lends itself to the destruction of
the helpless millions it has pledged its
honor to protect. We desire to express
our disapproval Of the army canteen
and heartily condemn the action Of the
administration in allowing it to exist
despite the recommendation Of leading
generals of the army and all other per-
sons not in sympathy with the liquor
interests.
1--WE condemn the president for his
notification Of the anti-canteen law
and submit that such action is dan
gerous to the liberties of the people
and without precedent in the history
of our country. We affirm that in his
personal habits and official acts he has
betrayed the interests Of temper
ance and rendered himself unworthy
of the support Of Christian men,"
The resolutions passed after vigorous
debate. Muskingum conference EN-
braces all territory in Ohio east Of San
dusky and Scioto rivers, and contains
150 churches.

THE MINERVA TUNNEL,
The Fire Is SmOthered Out At
Last, But Now There's
Another Problem.

Alliance, Sept 12-The fire in the tun-
uel near Minerva on the o. r. & L. E.
road, which has been burning since
Wednesday night, was extinguished
Monday.
An attempt was made Friday to
smother the fire by closing both ends of
the tunnel. In order to do this the
workmen placed huge charge of dyna-
mite in the north end, hoping to close
the entrance by blowing the earth
down from above. The project proved
more successful than was expected at
first. The end Of the tunnel was closed
and in addition to this an opening was
made to the surface of the hill above
the tunnel, a distance of forty or fifty
feet, by the exploson. This made an
escape for the smoke which began to
issue from the opening as 1t would from
an air course in a coal shaft. The orig
inal project was abandoned, as smoke
soon cleared away sufficiently for the
workmen to enter the tunnel and ex-
tinguish the fire.
The problem now that confronts the
company is the clearing of the earth
from the tunnel and arching it for fu-
ture service.
The tunnel Is about five hundred feet
long, and the timber was consumed for
about 100 feet from the north end. The
workmen Will begin repairing the tunnel
at once. 1t Is proposed that part of the
hill above the entrance be removed, and
the remainder OF the damaged portion
will be repaired with timber. The dis
aster will cause heavy loss to the COM
pany.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 11.-Republicans
carried this state yesterday by plural
ity of about 31,70O. The vote for gov
ernor was about 73,600 for Hill, Repub-
lican, to 41,9O0 for Lord, Democratic.
These figures are based on the returns
from about three-fourths of the cities
and towns in the state.
Four Republican congressmen-Lit-
tlefield, Allen, Burleigh and Boutelle--
all received substantial majorities
Boutelle ran particularly well in his
district.
In the legislature one Democratic
senator was elected. About three.
fourths Of the members Of the lower
branch will be Republicans. This leg
islature will re-elect Hon. William Il
Frye to the United States senate.
Returns from 2OC towns and pIanta
tions out of 312 districts give Hill
Rep, 43,734; Lord. DEM, 24,167. Sam'
places four years ago gave Powers
Rep, 4S,762, and Frank, DEM, 19,43o
This shows a Republican loss of II pc
cent. and Democratic gain of 20 pc
cent.
On this basis 1t Is estimated tina
the Republican plurality this yea
will be about 2,291.

Kentucky Republican Methods.

Kentucky Republican Methods.
The kentucky capital is full of
hired thugs, who are there for the
purpose of backing up by force, if
need be, the scheme of the Repub-
lioan leaders to maintain their grip
ON the State offices regardless of
the proceedings in the Legislature
and also to intimidate the latter
body.
These thugs are almost openly
under the care of the new Republi-
can officials For example, two Of
them, Threlkell and Brockman by
name, we're arrested in the Ken
lucky capital for drunkenness
and carrying concealed weapons.
When they we're presented in the
police court the next morning a
messenger arrived on the scene
bearing pardons for the two men
from Gov. Taylor The men had
always expressed desire to plead
guilty, but the judge was forced to
dismiss them without even the for
mality of trial. When Threlkell
was arrested letter was found on
his person addressed to Gov. Tay-
lor, commencing Threlkell to the
governors care as long as he was
needed, and promising to send
money to pay his board.
These are sample of the meth
dds of the Republican leaders in
Kentucky. 1t is not a matter for
wonder that the good people of
that State arose and voted them out
of power at the recent election. 1t
is to be hoped for the good name
of the State and its future that the
will of the people, as expressed at
the polls, will prevail, Wheeling

were concentrated, concealed behind
immense boulders strewn thickly over
the hill The artillery opened the at
tack and the batteries worked contin-
uously, pouring tons of shrapncl
among the Beers, who devoted their
attention to musketry firing on the
British infantry.
The Beers stuck to their rocky fast
nesses with the greatest tenacity, and
at the conclusion of the day the Brit
ish had only advanced across few
ridges. The Beers apparently have
few guns, and they did little damage.
