MISS COSTLOW
GIVES HIM UP.
Says She Is Through With Her
Former Lover.
SHE BELIEVES HIM GUILTY
Omcers Call to Make Certain She Has
Turned Over All the Money
Left In Her Care BY
Ferrell.

Columbus, Aug. 17.-Miss Lillian Mae
Costlow, the young lady who was en-
gagged to Express Robber Ferrell, in
formed Chief Tyler last evening that
she was through with Ferrell and had
severed all connections with him, she
being convinced of his responsibility In
the recent d-blooded murder.
The chief was at the residence Of her
father last evening, at the request of
the father of the young lady, who de-
sired him to see for himself what
articles the young man had purchased
for his daughter. He found that he
had presented her with a wedding ring
and lot of fancy articles for decorat-
ing their rooms. What disposition will
be made Of these articles will be decided
later.
Patrick Costlow, the father, called at
police headquarters, in reference to the
published statement that there was
possibly shortage in the amount of
money recovered and that taken by
Ferrell. Mr.. Costlow was very anxious
that some police official, as we'll as
someone connected with the express
company, should call at his home to-
day and make a personal examination
of all the effects brought there by Fer
rell at the time of his visits to his
daughter.
Ferrell in his statements made to the
police, claimed that he gave Miss
Costlow a stated sum of money and
that amount she has turned over to the
detectives. The request made by her
father is for the purpose Of having the
officials satisfy themselves that all
money left with his daughter has been
accounted for.
Mr.. Costlow informed Chief Tyler
that his wife and daughter were get
ting along nicely. and that all danger
Of serious results from the trying ordeal
through which they had passed was
now over.
Ike Warner, the Adams Express mes
senger who carried Rosslyn Ferrell to
Urbana in his express car just prior
to the robbery and murder Of Messen-
ger Lane, has been discharged by
the company after thorough investi-
cation by Superintendent Curtis and
Chief Clerk Brosius.
Several other violations of the COM
pany's rules have been brought to light
through the Ferrell tragedy, and 1t Is
possible other discharges or suspensions
may follow.

STARK COUNTY DEMOCRAT TUESDAY, AUGUST 81, 1900.

5000 East Liverpoolites thronged Col.
Taylor's lawn, and a band which ac-
companied the crowd struck up a spir-
tied air. The governor soon appeared
on Mr.. Taylors front porch, and State
Senator w. v. Blake introduced him.
Gov. Nash said:
II knew William Mckinley well as
a friend before he was governor of this
state, and 1 knew him afterward. 1
expected that he would make a pretty
good president. was disappointed in
this, for he made thousand times bet
ter president than 1 expected he would
do. The Democrats ought not to fear
William Mckinley. You knew him as o
boy in your district. You knew him as
he went forth to war, and you know his
record. You knew him as your repre-
sentative in congress, and ysu know
that IL there ever was an honest pat
riot 1t was william Mckinley. You
know his love Of country has been tried.
He would never raise a finger to lessen
the liberty Of any people.
II am anxious that the Republican
party succeed this fall In electing Will
liam Mckinley. Why? Because great
questions face the nation. In the near
future these questions are to be deter
mined. 1t is time to be anxious. We
see today the soldiers OF the United
States side by side with the soldiers OF
England, France, japan and Russia, in
China. No one can foresee the future
My experience with the Democratic
party, and what know Of Mckinley
and the Republican party, leads me to
wish to have these questions settled by
the Republican rather than by the
Democratic party"

President Mckinley Not Taking

Italians Arrested and Accused of Coming &

Assassinating the
President.

[News-Democrat Leased Wire Service ]
Washington, Aug. 1S.-No extra pre-
cautions to save President Mckinley
from assassination have been taken
since the arrest in New York Of An
archist Natalie Maresca, who is said
to have sailed from Naples for the ex-
press purpose of killing him. 1t has
been noted, however, that the president
has discontinued his daily morning
walks and drives since his return from
Canton.

for a dozen others who belong to the
same gang, the officials are keeping
their plans we'll under cover.

came, while Guida is being held until
MS TeCOTu Cdu NC lohSo Aheo'
On August / Chief Wilkie received
information from Naples that Moresca
had sailed from that port for New York
on the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II, and
that he was suspected of being an An
archist who might give trouble to the
law officers in the United States. At
the same time he was informed that
the source Of this information about
Moresca was not entirely reliable.
The chief at once set about learning
as much as possible about Moresca. He
could not learn that he was an An
archist or that he came to the United
States to carry out any Anarchist plot,
but he found that he was a former con-
vict, and as such was not entitled to
admission into the United States under
the immigration laws. Accordingly.
when the Kaiser Wilhelm III reached
New York yesterday she was boarded
by w. p. Hazen, in charge Of the New
York office of the secret service, and
Moresca was identified from a descrip-
tion that had been obtained by Chief
Wilkie. He was turned over to the
immigrant authorities with the evil
dence Of his criminal record, and will
be carried back to Naples when the
steamer returns.

SAFETY DEVICES
Ordered Where Railroads Cross
Counties of the State-Set-
tling For Taxes.

From Staff Correspondent.
Columbus, Aug. 18.-Canton people
will be interested in a decision given by
Attorney General Sheets, today, in
which he holds that where a railroad
company, either steam or electric, seeks
to cross, at grade, another railroad,
the railroad commissioner has authority
to order O safety device to be put In
at the cost Of the company seeking to
cross the tracks Of other railroads.
Such device Is to be maintained jointly
by the two companies. The ruling does
not include the appointment of a
watchman, this not being a safety de-
vice.
While the commissioner Of railroads
cannot arbitrarily and without reason
order any kind Of safety device or inter-
locker, he is given q wide discretion,
and unless it Is abused there Is no ap-
peal from his decision. If the COM
missioner Is of the opinion, based on
the peculiarities of any crossing, that
there ought to be a combination Of the
safety device and gates, the railroad
companies must submit to his judg-
ment.
TAX SETTLEMENTS.
Eleven counties settled with the state
auditor today with taxes for the past
six months. Columbiana county was
among the number, paying $1S,354.O1.
Stark county has not paid UP yet. All
taxes are to be forwarded by not later
than September 1.
Labor Commissioner Ratchford is at
Toledo on business. His stenographer,
Miss Nellie Sheehan, leaves Saturday
to spend vacation of two weeks at
her home at Massillon.
Adjutant General Gyger Is seriously
i'll at his home on Neil avenue. The
enervating effect Of his recent attack
Of pneumonia it is thought, is respon-
sible for his present condition.
