ANOTHER BLUNDER
No Funds Available For The
Salaries and Expenses OF
Estate Board.

Columbus, May 4.--Another blunder Of
the late general assembly came to light
yesterday. 1t develops that there are
no funds available for the salaries and
expenses of the state board Of examin-
ers of stationary engineers.
George M. Collier, Of Cleveland, who
was appointed chief examiner by Gov.
Nash, In a conversation with Chief
Clerk German Of the auditor Of states
office, incidentally remarked that he
would shortly want some of the fur
niture to fit out his Office. Mr. German
looked up the law creating the board
and found that the section making pro-
vision for the salary and expenses Of
members was not In accordance with
the legal requirements, and told Mr..
Collier that he could not honor any
voucher that might be presented by him
under this law, either for salary or ex-
penses.
Mr.. Collier, Of course, was taken off
his feet. but he said he could do moth
ing further until he had conferred with
the governor. Mr.. German says that
unless the state emergency board comes
to Golfers rescue nothing can be DONE
1t Is believed, however, that the board
will authorize a deficiency sufficient to
cover the expenses Of the department
until the legislature meets and can
make 1t good.

FATAL FEUD
NEAR AKRON
One Man is Dead and Three Are
Under Arrest.
4 BLOODY DAY OF CRIME.
Summit County the Scene of an AFFAIR
That Rivals the Tales OF Some of
Kentucky's Bloodiest
Deeds.

Akron, May 5.-Four prominent Cop
ley township farmers engaged in des-
perate fight in the road near their
two others are in the city prison here
charged with murder.
The dead man Is Sylvester Hull. The
two prisoners are Gideon Carr and his
son, Edward Carr. Hull died an hour
and half after the melee in the Office
Of DR.. C. E. Cranz in this city, and a
post-mortem showed that he had sus-
tained a badly fractured skull, the re-
suit of heavy blow from a pick handle.
There had been bad blood between the
families for several years, and they
have been engaged in bitter litigation
in the local courts over the title to GER
tain property in which both are inter-
ested by inheritance. The families are
related and live on adjoining farms.
Thursday the Carrs attempted to
build a fence across a road that had
been used by the Hull family for fifty
years as means of egress from their
farm on to the public highway. The
Hulls protested and a fight ensued.
Sylvester Hull came to this city and
had the Carrs arrested on charge of
assault and battery. They were brought
in and gave bond, the trial being set for
Friday morning.
Early Friday morning Hull started
with his wife and children in his buggy
to attend the trial. He was accompan-
| led by Frank Bramley, a brotherin-
law, and his wife in another buggy.
AS they drove out they came upon a
rail fence built across the road, with the
Carrs guarding it,
Mrs. Hull and Mrs. Bramley attempt
ed to lower the fence, but the Cars
| linterfered, and, 1t is alleged, at once
made an attack upon Hull and Bramley.
Edward Carr. 1t is alleged, struck Carr
on the head with heavy pick handle.
The fight became general and ali the
participants were more or less injured
The Carrs retired after a few min
utes and Hull managed to drag himself
into his buggy. He was brought to this
city as quickly as possible, but was un-
conscious when he arrived. He was
carried into DR.. Cranz's Office in the 1.
o. o. F. temple. The family was pres
ent, and the death scene was very af-
fecting. He died shortly without recov-
| ering consciousness. He leaves widow
and two children. He was 35 years old
Immediately after Hull's death Sher-
iff Kelly, with two officers, drove to the
Carr residence in Copley and found both
men engaged in dressing the bruises
and wounds received in the fight. They
were placed under arrest and brought
to this city. where they were locked up
in the city prison. They will be ar
raigned today before Mayor w. e.
Young. The younger Carr is in pre-
carious condition, and is suffering Sc
verely from his wounds.

ried and taught the use of the deadliest
poison invented by humanity. Nor is
there in the prosecution of this Internal
traffic the faintest pretence Of con-
sideration for the destined victims. The
drink vended among the heather is the
most abominable, the fiercest the most
deadly stuff distilled. When Mauritius
became a sugar colony the rum made
there was unfit for expectation to Eng
land. So it was sent to Madagascar;
and when the frightful results in crime
and disease led the Malagassy king to
prohibit the importation, the Mauri-
titus merchants complained, the English
government interfered, and free rum
was forced upon the island. In the
same manner opium was forced upon
China at the point of the bayonet. With
less effrontery, but equal absence of
principle, British liquor has been push
ed thought the valley of the Congo, and
the missionaries have been driven to
confess that against this foe they could
make no headway.
From time to time inquiries are made
as to the rapid decay of the native
races brought into contact with Euro
peans. Undoubtedly the chief cause Of
this decline is the European drink traf-
fic. 1t has poisoned the sources of life
in almost every savage habit. 1t has
nullified every honest effort to spread
christianity. 1t has given the lie to the
statements of the missionaries. 1t has
reinforced every vicious and demor-
alizing influence already in existence.
1t has caused the more intelligent
heather to reject the proffered religion
of a people who, while praising God
with their mouths, worship the devil
with their hands. The awful contrast
between christian profession and prac-
tice was never so nakedly thrown into
high relief as in this matter. 1t Is an
enormous stain upon the page of Eng
lands progress, and 1t conveys to the
clearsighted as omnious a threat as the
luminous message that disordered Bel

LOCALIZED EVIL NO. 9.
John Danner Writes Interest
ingly On the Liquor Traffic
Law,

The following is from the New York
Tribune, of 1888, when the editor spoke
as follows:
This is England's jubilee year, but
in commemorating the glories of the
Victoria epoch of her panegyrists have
undertaken to expatiate upon the ef-
fects of fifty years of progress" upon
her subject races. Yet when the bal
ance sheet Is struck by which the true
status of the nation is determined, there
will be no suppression of the facts which
which today are so smoothly CLOSED
over or ignored; but the black and
bloody swath moved through score
Of uncivilized peoples by the shameless
persistence of British greed, acting up
on the heather through British drink,
will be laid to the account of the guilty.
One voice indeed, that Of Archdeacon
Farrar, has lately been raised in reproof
and admonition. In the "Contempor-
ary Review" for the current month, un-
der the caption Africa and the drink
trade" he brings together a mass of
damnatory evidence. He shows, what
what unhappily was no news, that the
same country which at the beginning
of the century made so noble a self
sacrifice to strike down African slavery
toward the close Of the same century
has identified herself with a so-called
commercial movement which has al
ready brought conditions worse than
those of slavery to the Dark Continent.
and which threaten to plunge the
entire population of that vast area into
hopeless ruin and decay.
But England's drink has demoraliz-
ed many peoples besides those of Africa.
Wherever the English traders keel
floats or his foot treads, the alcoholic
pestilence breaks out. There is scarce
an island in the great archipelagoes,
in the Malay, Paupan, Melanesian,
Micronesian groups where the rum
bottle has not made more progress than

conquered or colonized by England

Alliance, May 4.-About 5:45 o'clock
Thursday evening a fire took place in
the coal vault of the j. B. Baughman's
grocery store, corner of Arch avenue
and Main street. The vault is located
under the sidewalk on Arch avenue. and
Herbert HOLES, a fourteen years old
boy who clerks for Mr.. Baughman, went
to the coal vault to get gasoline for
a customer. Mr.. Baughman had sew
eral cans of gasoline and a large tank
Of carbon oil in this small vault. In
some unexplainable way when HOLES
was letting the gasoline out into a
measure, 1t took fire instaptaneously
and the flames rolled up all about him.
He was frightened terribly and ran up
stairs and gave the alarm. The fire de-
partment was called and the firemen
were soon upon the scene. Extinguish-
ing such fire was very perilous task.
The only access to the fire was a small
door at the foot of the stairway and an
opening on the sidewalk. Notwith-
standing the danger Of an explosion, the
firemen went at the fire with the chem
ical extinguishers and soon had the
flames under control. The gasoline
cans and the oil tank were then carried
out while the infiammable liquid was al
most at boiling heat, and the top of the
tank was melted off with the intense
heat.
The damage to the vault Is not ex-
tensive. HOLES was singed about the
face and hands and one Of his feet was
burned to blister.
CHILDREN POISONED.
Wilbur, Ruth and Harold. three small
children of Prof. and Mrs. Owen Crist,
of the Sixth ward, Alliance, were badly
poisoned by eating cheese Wednesday
afternoon. The cheese was purchased
at local grocery and was eaten by
the children for dinner. Soon afterward
Mrs. Crist went down to the business
portion Of the city on an errand and left
the children alone. On her return she
was astonished to find the children all
deathly sick. DR.. Douglass was sum-
moned and worked with the little suf-
ferers until about 9 o'clock before he
considered them out of danger. They
each vomited violently and one Of
them almost went into commissions.
The children are now entirely out Of
danger and are recovering nicely.
The cheese WITS examined and was
found to contain tyrotoxicon. Prof.
Crist belongs to the faculty of Mt I'm
ion college. ]. D. HART.

PRESERVING CLIFF wELLiNos
Movements to Turn Colorado Region
 Into National Park.

From the Denver Republican: As s result of meeting held recently at the residence of Henry Van Kleecls, a bill making the cliff dwellings region in the southwestern part of Colorado national park will in all probability be introduced at the next convention of congress. Congressman John F. shaf- roth, Judge George T. Sumner, Booth Malone and Dr. Camden NJ. Cobern. with the host, constituted the meeting. Congressman Shafroth went over the details of passing such a bill, and the other men present, all of whom have been or t ground, recapituated all theF gathered concerning the intefas ruins below Durango. Granting tA the people living in the agricultural country contiguous to the cliff dwellings made no objections to the settinf aside of the land contain ing these prehistoric buildings, and he had received almost an assurance that they would not, Mr. shafroth saw 10 impeachment in the way of passing the bill. Maps and pictures of the ground and ruins were carefully gone over and studied. While the dimensions of the area were not specified, it is thought that fifteen miles, running northeast and southwest, by four or five miles wide, will include the most important ground without infringing on any pre- cious minerals or agricultural land. Mir, Shafroth made copious notes to take with him to Washington and will work for the passage of the bill. He advises that no appropriation be asked for in the first measure. It will be sought to make some provision for the eare-tak- ing of the ruins. Excavations must be made scientifically and will be restrict ed by license. MT. Shafroth will try to enlist the interest of the Smithsonian inatitution. The matter will be pushed with all possible speed. At the present time two large exploring parties of 100 members each are being organized
 -one fn San Francisco and one in the east-to visit the Marcos canyon and exeavate in the ruins.
