MURDER

Judge Townsend in his charge
to the grand jury yesterday gave
the petit jury some good advice,
which he remarked be hoped
some Of the petit jury would hear.
His honor, in his own language
said that crime was rampant in
the territory, that petit juries
were not thoroughly impressed
with the responsibility resting
upon them in making up a YER
dict Of guilty, and that until they
awaken to the fact that some
hangings were bad at their hands
the courts could do but little to
control the crime Of murder. He
said the iuries were so tenacious
Of giving every reasonable doubt
that they stretched the evidence
against the government. This is
not the judges language, but the
gist, the substance Of it, and the
judge is certainly right. lie said
an extra session Of the court
would be held at Pauls Valley,
we're IS cases Of murder we're on
the docket. The courts, be said
were striving to clear the over
loaded docket, and that the couvts
would do their duty if the juries
would do theirs. It is hoped the
petit jurors who were in the
room, heard the warning and
will do their duty at this term
where there are three cases Of
murder on the docket.

ten years Mrs. Elizabeth p. Madison,
a respected lady of this place, has
suffered most severely with Kidney
trouble complicated with derange-

rheumatism, another painful result
of deranged Kidneys, added it's tor
lures to her burden of pain.
Treatments and medicines without
number were tried; physicians also
exhausted their skill, but all to no
purpose.
At this stage of the case a treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills was re-
sorted to and the results were simply
miraculous, from the very first box
an improvement was noticed and the
continued treatment resulted in a
complete cure.
This remarkable cure created a de-
cided sensation in the neighborhood
because of the complications of the
case as well as its severity and APP
parent horelessness.
Upon investigation Dodd's Kidney
Pills are found to be the only rem
edy that has ever cured Bright's Dis

hitherto incurable diseases are read

East Liverpool, O., Oct. IA large
reservoir, containing 10,000,00 gall
Ions of water, burst, yesterday, and
caused great damage. No lives were
lost, but a score of people had mar
row escapes. The money loss will
reach probably $15O,00O,
The reservoir, which is owned by
the city and which was only com
pleted a few days ago, was filed yes
terday morning for the first time. It
was taxed to it's utmost capacity when
the break occurred.
a gang of laborers were laying
pipes in a ditch near the wall which
gave way and miraculously escaped
death.
The basin is located 500 feet above
the pumping station on the highest
hill in the city. A number of houses
are located on the hillside,
between the reservoir and the
city proper. When the wall
gave way the water shot down the
incline with a mighty roar, the noise
made warning the occupants of the
endangered houses, who rushed to a
place of safety in time to save them
selves.
A party of children were playing il
a road directly in the path of the tor
REM and, though caught by a portion
of the rushing water, were rescued
before drowning. Dozens of large
trees were torn from their roots and
carried down the hillside with light
ming rapidity, being jammed with ter
rife force against the walls of the
Harker Pottery Co.. plant. The main
building, with several smaller struc-
lures, was badly wrecked. Two large
kilns and sheds were dashed to pieces,
and $4,000 worth of wares ruined.
The tracks of the Cleveland & Pitts
burg railroad were covered with thou
sands of tons of debris, and traffic is
blocked.
The street car line running parallel
with the railroad, suffered severely,
and traffic on a half-mile of the track
has been abandoned. The pumping
station was in the direct path of the
flood, and filed with wreckage which
so damaged the engines that they can
not be used. Several houses were
moved from their foundations. The
loss is estimated at 800, 900 to $780,.

THE DEADLY BLACK A N
Father and Two Sons Meet Death FROM
Black Damp In 3 Coal Mine
Air Shaft.

Connelsville, Pa, Oct. 14.-Three
ives went out in a little air shaft,
only two feet in diameter and 90 feet
deep, but filed with deadly damp
deep, but filed with deadly black
damp at the mines of the Juniata Coal
Co., near Juniataville, yesterday. The
dead are: John Gilleland, a miner,
aged SO, and his two sons, James and
Winfield. aged IL and Is, respectively.
All three bodies were recovered. but
in the effort John Nicholson, mine
foreman at Juniataville, and John
Baker, a mine fire boss. were serious
ly overcome by black damp.
Near the home of the Gillelands is q
deserted air shaft. Yesterday two of
the boys were playing around the
shaft, which is boarded up for about
two feet from the ground. James
climbed to the top, shouting to his
brother. Then he leaned over the
top of the shaft. A sudden gust of
the deadly fumes struck him, and with
a scream he fell forward into the
pit. His brother rushed to the top of
the shaft and started down a rickety
ladder that years ago served the min
erS with means of descent.
From the home, not many yards
away, the elder Gilleland saw his boys
go down the shaft. Realizing their
danger he rushed to the pit, and, re-
CARELESS of his own safety, hurried
down the hole. By this time a number
of other inmates of the house hurried
to the shaft. They went to the top
and peered in, but only faint groans
were heard. About half way down
the little shaft the body of the father
had lodged. His white face and CLASSY
eyes turned up. The light and air
told that the gas had done its work
quickly and well.
With lightning rapidity the news of
the tragedy spread over the farms of
Dunbar and Franklin townships, and
in a few hours the whole countryside
had fiocked to the scene of the disas-
ter. The difficult problem of how to
descend the death trap to the
bodies was finally solved by John
Nicholson. mine foreman, who rugged
up a farmers tanning mill, used for
cleaning wheat, in such Il way as to
fan pure air into the hole. Nicholson
and John Baker, who had for years
worked beside Gilleland, were then
lowered into the shaft with ropes
around their bodies. Gilleland's body
was soon hoisted to the top from
where it had lodged, and at the bot
tom were found the bodies of the two
boys entwined in a death embrace.
After the dead came the to
the surface, and as soon as they
reached the pure air, the terrible eff.
feet of the gas vas evident, and both
tainted. Late last night physicians
said the men were in a serious con-
dition. Gilleland leaves a wife and
several children.

THE YEARS WHEAT CROP.
Three General Estimates that Vary
but Little, Show Increase Over
Last Years Crop.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE depart
ment of agriculture announces that
the three most important estimates
of the worlds wheat crop of 1901 SO
far made agree that the crop is larger
than hat of either of the two pre-
ceeding years. The estimates follow:
Hungarian ministry of agriculture,
2,671, 800, 700 bushels of 60 pounds;
Beerbohm's corn list, of London, g.
I'll, COG, 900 bushels of 60 pounds, and
Bulletin des Halles, of Paris. 2,790,-
$4,000 Winchester bushels. Our de-
partment withholds its opinion as to
the degree i'll which the worlds crop
has been approximated in any of
these estimates until a considerably
larger number of official returns is
available.
The official Hungarian estimates
say the crop exceeds last years by
209,S ISL 900 bushels of 60 pounds, or
by 2~12,43O,000 Winchester bushels.
According to Beerbohm the excess
over last years crop is 200, 200, 900
bushels of 60 pounds, and according
to the Bulletin des Halles, the excess
is 1876, 777,0 900 Winchester bushels. The
principal increase is credited to the
United States, Canada and India,
though various countries are credit
ed with larger crops than they had
in 1900.
