THE ENGINEER
Is RESPONSIBLE. $
Acting Coroner Files His Ver-
dict In the Alliance Case.
SAYS ENGINEER AT FAULT.
Declares That He Made No Attempt to
slacken the Speed of Pennsylvania
Train hut Went Ahead
at Full Speed.

Justice Simon Johnson, Of Alliance.
who officiated as coroner in the case Of
Otis Weaver. the fireman who was killed
by the collision at the A. & N. and c.
& p, Pennsylvania company, crossing
at Alliance, June %, on Friday filed his
verdict in the case with the testimony.
The coroner'H verdict fixes the blame
on the engineer Of the Pennsylvania
train. Tho verdict finds the facts to be
that the deceased was fireman on an en-
gine on the A. & N. road that was back
ing down toward the c. & p. crossing
with train. The A. & N. road had the
target and the right Of way. AS 1t
reached the crossing the Cleveland flyer
came up on the c. G. p. tracks at a 25
mile an hour clip. The verdict finds
that the c. & p. train had no right Of
way but that the engineer ignored the
target and apparently paid no attention
to It, and without slackening his speed
rushed upon the crossing and struck
the train Of the A. C N. road. Weaver
was thrown and crushed, death result
ing almost instantly.

WILL DESPERATE FLAG.
Republican Managers Prepare
to Deface 1t With
Candidates.

Republican managers in Chicago are
preparing to use the American flag for
advertising purposes, as they did in
1896, in spite of the approbrium cast on
their actions by the Illinois legislature.
Within few days the several thousand
banners to which were sewn pictures of
Mckinley and Hobart four years ago
are to be resurrected and prepared for
service. The likenesses of Mckinley
have lost none of their original lustre,
while little time will be lost in replacing
Hobart's picture with that of Roose-
welt.
Until recently, when Judge Gibbons
declared the flag law unconstitutional,
the Republican leaders had no hope of
pressing their old cambric into service
again. The prosecutions started by
private individuals for the most part
against BARRIERS and small mercantile
houses in order to secure a portion of
the fine provided for stirred up a storm
of opposition. Numerous arrests were
made for alleged violations of the law
and heaviest penalties exacted. Finally
the law was declared a bad one.
Alderman Coughlin threatens in any
event, to make fight on this desecra-
tion of the flag. He says he will have
an order passed in the council which
will be quite as effective as the useless
statute, without subjecting innocent
people to punishment or inconvenience.

HE WANTS DETECTIVES,
Commissioners Say They Will Spend
No More Money on the Case.
A SPECIAL GRAND JURY
WI Not He Called, Because OF That Hole
In the Rear of the jail which Al
Vowed Shorthand and Gallagher
to Make Their Exit to
Freedom.

Prosecutor Day says there will be no
special grand jury called this term Of
court. The day before Shorthand and
Gallagher crawled out of the window
and skipped he was preparing preoipe
for q special grand jury to consider
their cases but when they escaped there
was no need for one.
Another matter that the prosecutor
vas working up was the indicting Of
some more of the Hartong murderers.
The matter was presented to the county
commissioners and they were asked to
snke steps looking toward the hiring Of
. detective for the purpose Of running
down the balance of the guilty ones but
the commissioners refused to put up the
money and so the case has been drop
ped.
Mr.. Day states that nothing further
viii be done on the Hartong case and
the three who helped Henderson will
he allowed to pursue their ways in
pence. The prosecutor would like to
go after them but feels that it would
be useless unless money is provided for
detectives.

CYRUS FREASE.
A Former Stark County Man ;
Dies in Oklahoma After a
Long Illness.

Captain Cyrus Frease, former Stark
county man, died Thursday evening at
Kremlin, Oklahoma, after an illness of
several months. Cyrus Frease was a
brother Of Judge Joseph Frease and
w. H. Frease Of this city.
In 1890, he with 30 other prominent
citizens of Stevans county, Kansas,
were convicted in a Texas court Of
murders in the No Mans Land cases,
which resulted from a county seat fight.
The case of Cyrus Frease was taken to
the U. s. supreme court by Judges Day
and Frease, of this city, and the sem
tence was set aside and a new trial
granted and afterwards the indictment
was nollied, the attorney general stat
ing there was no evidence against Capt.
Frease. During his visits east after his
persecution he was given sympathetic
receptions at his old home.
The funeral will be held at Hutchin-
son, Kansas, on Sunday. OF late years
Capt. Frease has been a successful
grain dealer and merchant in Okla
homa.

HOME SADDENED.
Anna E. YOst, Wife of John L.
YOst Dies Thursday Evening
After a Long Illness.

Another home was saddened Thurs
day evening at $3.50 o'clock when the
death angel entered the portal and took
from earth all that was mortal
of Anna E., the beloved wife Of
John L. Yost. The family reside at
n. 40S Brown avenue. Mrs. Yost, whose
maiden name was Anna E. Maurer was
Born Al years ago, at Osnaburg. In 1885
she was married to Mr.. Yost. Three
roreas children, Grace Pearl, aged 13,
Melvin John 10, and Clara, years, and
the husband, survive her. The disease
which caused the death of Mrs. Yost
baffied the skill Of eighteen of the most
renowned hpysicians and surgeons in
Ohio, who, with but one exception,
had been unable to give it diagnosis,
who pronounced it the most remarka-
bile case ever known in Canton. 1t is
thought to have been the Hotchkin dis
ease, which is very rare. About two
years ago Mrs. Yost one day felt an
itching sensation Of the heels, which
became very irritable as it progressed
through the body toward the head. 1t
took eight months from time of start
ing until it reached the head, when
II started upon it's downward course.
Passing from the head it lodged in the
stomach, and dropsy began to develop
about this time and the patient grad
Ually grew worse. About six weeks ago
she became very i'll and it was thought
at that time that death was very near,
but she rallied and became much better.
II was known that she could not live,
and she was so advised by the physi-
clans in attendance. But Mrs. Yost
would not believe it, until Thursday
morning, when she seemed to feel that
she could not live, she became resigned
and passed peacefully away. She was
q devout Catholic, much interested in
her church, and very liberal In order
to determine the nature and real cause
pf the disease an autopsy was held this,
Friday, afternoon at o'clock by sew
eral physicians who had attended the
iady through her illness. The results Of
the autopsy will be announced later.
