 Princeton, N. J., Dec. "A, 1901.
 My Dear MT. Strauss-Your letter of the 18th inst is at hand. Illness has con fined me to my room for almost five weeks, and I am now hardly able to sit up and write this.

My reflections have made IL ClcdI tO lllc tIidL l dCCtpI lHc place assigned to me. and I do so with an earnest wish that those selected to actively represent the purposes and mo- lives of your conference may not labor in vain.
 Yours very truly,
 GROVER CLEVELAND"

ALBAUGH
INTERESTED
Lisbon Paper Discusses
Dennis Case.
WAS A PARTNERSHIP
And the Jury Was Unable to De-
termine Which Should be
Held Most Respon-
sibIe,

The NewsDemocrat recently printed
the doings of the court in Lisbon con-
corning the case of A. T. Dennis charg-
ed with soliciting insurance for a COM
pany not authorized to do business in
the state. The Lisbon Buckeye State
has the following to say of the case:
1t was charged htat last July Dennis
insured the general store of Robert
Treffinger, at Millport, in the Mercan-
tile Fire Insurance company and in the
Commercial Fire Insurance company,
of Delaware, neither of which COM
panies have any legal standing in this
state. The seriousness of the position
in which Dennis found himself is ao-
parent when it is remembered that the
penalty for the offense is a fine of not
more than one thousand dollars and i'm
prisonment for not more than year.
The defense made was the allegation
that Dennis had originally placed the
Treffinger insurance with a reputable
company, but the company afterward
ordered the risk cancelled as being too
great, and Dennis then, in pursuance
of his promise to place the insurance
with other reputable companies, sent

the risk to his partner In Canton. q
son of Judge Albaugh, who, unknown
to the defendant, placed the insurance
in wild cat companies. Soon after
the transaction Dennis and Albaugh,
Jr., dissolved partnership, and Dennis,
as he says, knew nothing Of the mat
ter until the accusation was made
against him. This feature of the case
would place young Albaugh in pre-
carious position, as it rendered him
liable to prosecution in Stark county.
This accounted for the appearance of
Judge Albaugh as assistant to the
prosecutor in the case. He realized
that the conviction of Dennis would
relieve his son of an embarrassing re-
sponsibility, and, naturally enough,
he gave his best efforts toward con-
summation so earnestly wished. The
case was given to the jury early In the
afternoon of Friday, which body, after
wrestling with the problems involved
for eight hours, gave 1t up and an
nounced to the court that they were
unable to agree, and were discharged.
1t is understood that they stood seven
for conviction to five for acquittal from
the first ballot to the last The ques-
ton that seemed to bother them
most was the extent to which men,
ber of firm can hold the other parties
to the partnership responsible in an
action involving a violation of the law.

AFFECTING SCENE.
Child Refused to Leave lts
Father and the Case Was
Continued.

Cincinnati, April Am affecting
scene, one that evoked tears of sympa-
thy from Judge Tarvin and every at
torney in the room, was witnessed when
the court ordered Horace Greenwell to
give his seven-year-old child, Hazel, to
his divorced wife, Mary Greenwich
The distressed father replied that the
child was at his side, subject to the
demands of the mother, but he, as the
father, could not and would not COM
pei the child to leave him. The mother
then called for the babe. but the little
one, clung to her father and absolutely
refused to leave him, crying pitoously,
and begging the father not to leave her,
but to take her with him.
The sheriff was directed to hand the
child over, but the strong arms Of that
official were not sufficient to break the
embraced arms of the little tot from her
fathers neck. The plea Of grandmother
nor mother could not affect the child.
and, with tears in his eyes, Judge
Tarvin continued the case until April
10, to give the father time to make fur
ther reply to the case, the child to re-
main with him until that time.

CORONER MAKES FINDING
NOW IN THE HANDS or THE STATE
ATTORNEY.

VIII be Made Public fter
| a Week of Hard Work the Coroner Has
| on the Rathbun Poison Mystery
| Counsel Retained for tho MRS. Rnth-
| bun.
Counsel has been retained for Mrs.
Rathbun, who is held at the Jail on the
coroners warrant as a suspect in the
death of William Rathbunr the brake
| man who died week ago last Friday
by drinking poisoned coffee. Yester-
day morning Walter Rathbun, the son
of the woman who is held, called on
Judge Blydenburgh and retained him to
defend his mother.
Judge Blydenburgh went to the Jail
and had a conversation with the woman
and yesterday afternoon said that from
what she told him there was nothing
that would indicate or even intimate
that she had made a confession of any
completely in the crime, If one has been
committed.
About 4:30 yesterday afternoon Attor-
ney Bishop, counsel for Hart, who Is
also held at the Jail, had consultation
with Judge Blydenburgh. Neither would
say what had TRANSFERRED behind the
closed DOORS but Judge Blydenburgh
did say that until he was aware of the
position of the coroner on the matter
he could say nothing for publication.
The coroner was found in the office of
State Attorney Williams about quarter
of five and with him was the stenogra-
pher who has taken the notes In the in
quest The coroner said emphatically
that there would be nothing before this
afternoon Later in the evening State
Attorney Williams said there would be
nothing to-day at all. and from this 1t
is assumed that tomorrow matters VIII
reach climax in the issuance OF bench
warrants
This step would ordinarily not be talk
en- but for the fact that both Hart and
Mrs Rathbun are held on warrants tax
en- out by the coroner and they are void
twenty-four hours after the coroner for
mally files his finding with the state at
torney. Should that be done bsfore 10
O clock to-day there would be posi-
bility Of the counsel for both Hart ana
Mrs. Rathbun demanding their release.
On the other hand, If matters are held
up until tomorrow morning, as they
are undoubtedly being done, then a
bench warrant may, and in all proba-
bility will, be issued.
The insurance money in the hands OF
the John Hancock Life Insurance COM
pany has been garnisheed to the extent
of $3.50 by Attorney Carl +. Stahl, attor-
ney for the undertakes who had charge

also to produce in the minds of report

latter is not to be ranked lightly. Be-
cause a man has treated me well, and
sought to help me in my work. I have
many times worked over what he said
in struggling fashion into a we'll

1T a paper be specially important,
and likely to be wanted verbatim, a

for not being prepared with such cop
les for the use of reporters"
To this the editr may aodd in life

currence. Most errors come from I'M
