STEUBENVILLE, o., November 2.
The defense Is still pounding away In
the Cramblett murder case, and big
crowds are in attendance. The case
threatens to string along till election
day. The father and mother of Cram
blett testified to alibis in their sons
behalf. A strong point against the
accused at the former trial was the
failure OF his father to go on the stand~
in his sons behalf and bolster up the
affidavit OF the invalid mother. Ste
nographers were put on to show how
witnesses for the State diyerged from
former testimony and the State went
after John Cramblett rought shod on
a number of conversations he had with
the curious minded. Several witnesses
gave statements of Miller the lie. One
witness told of Gosnelrs declaration of
high esteem for Cramblett.
At the opening in regard to the dis
pute over admission of
Declarations of Gosneu
about Cramblett, which came over
from last evening. Judge Hollings-
worth said, in substance: This case

looking over authorities, | can find

motive that Gosnell entertained opin-
lnfn "a -
marrying was concerned. The issue
OF what kind OF opinions Gosnell en-
tertained has been presented in this
case The condition of James Cos
nell's mind is put in issue. How could
the defense rebut the above issue un-
less they can present such ex-
Dressions, AS a man thinketh and feel
eth, so he speaketh?'"
Prosecutor Lewis said the State did
not hold that Gosnell opposed Cram
blett as man, but as a sutton for
his daughter.
Judge Hollingsworth: Your testl-
mony takes a wider range, and this
evidence will be admitted under the
light have in the peculiar state OF the
case"
Noah Arnold came on and testified.
He said: THAT CrambIett is a right
nice young man" Gosnell repiieda
"He Is a nice, accommodating young
man as ever / had anything 70 do
with"
]. o. Henry came on and testified
that William Miller told him be had
no conversation with cramblett after
the murder.
Stenographer Fl Stanton Peares
read from his notes OF a talk with
William Miller in Attorney Cregg's
Office, in which Miller said he had never
talked with crambIett after the MUIR
der. The state wanted TO get out OF
the witness the whole OF William
Miller's testimony, but there was strong
objection. Judge HoIlIngsworth said

THAT GIVE EVERY ASSURANCE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov 2.-B.
H. Oxley, Of West Virginia, who is on
duty at Democratic headquarters and
who has had supervision of Democratic
clubs in that State, has within the past
few days received reports from these
organizations, numbering 256 and rep
resenting a total membership of nearly
10000 voters, and from a tabulated
statement just prepared by Mr.. Oxley,
the State is shown to be Democratic
by upwards Of 1000.
Mr.. Oxley regards this information
as very reliable for two reasons. In
the first place, these club organiza-
tons, representing almost every local
ity in the State, are in position to
ascertain the sentiment of the voters,
and in the next place, when sending
his request for this information he
asked that impartial reports be sent
in. These reports from the club Or

publican managers for that State are

1t is said that so far it seems moth
ing like the results of the use of mon
eys hoped for and expected by the Re-
publican managers have been in evil
dence and it seems to be the impress
sion of those in a position to know that
nothing can stem the tide Of Democrat

at the instance of Mrs. Mackeys father,

London, Jan. is, 6 a. m.-Sir Red

getting practically his entire army
across the upper Tugela river, in the
vicinity of Springfield. The British
plans were we'll guarded and the Beers

far as known here, but the fighting is
said to have been serious since.

ninety-ninth day of the siege, and
there is no change in the situation

HIS MISTAKE.
An American Girl Gives an English.
man Little Light on
Ladies'.

"A Louisville girl, who was recently in
Germany, met young English officer who
was in the same city, and, in fact, in the
same house with her for two months, study
ing German for his promotion. Like most
Europeans he had the usual absurd ideas
about the girls of this country, who, in the
minds of the untraveled foreigner, are rather
hoyden creatures who smoke and have other
masculine traits
After dinner one day, in the early &C.
quaintance of the couple, the officer offered
the Louisville girl cigarette, and, upon her
refusing it, he said
why, l thought all the girls in the
United States smoked"
80 we do replied the girl, "but never
cigarettes; only pipes. Ii you will get that
pipe off the mantelplece in the next room |
shall be charmed to smoke with you"
Not suspecting the joke she was playing
on him, the officer brought the pipe and
filled it, and it was not until he saw the wry
faces his friend made in attempting to carry
out the joke that he appreciated the situa-
ton. He was continually telling the Ameri-
can in a tone of surprise that she was just
like the girls at home in England, and her
rejoinder was:
