BufCalc. June 2S.-It now appears
that six-year old Mary Murphy, whose
bound body was found in Forest Lawn
cemetery lake was not only murdered
but outraged. Mary disappeared ten
days ago and it was supposed she had
been kidnapped.
The city council offered reward Of
81 1000 for her recovery. Her father
was once in the asylum since his child
disappeared. He has been strangely i'll
at ease. He disappeared occasionally
hours at a time and on returning
said he had been working on the case.
When questioned last night and this
morning he said the child had been
thrown into the lake from Delaware
avenue.
How do you know" he was asked.
That's the only way they could have
got rid OF the body" he answered.

Arranged.
(Staff Specially

East Liverpool. June 2S.-The sltua-
tion here in regard to the new scale
for the operatives for next year has
clarified to some extent. A conference
between the committees of the opera

just the matter and the conference
broke up with an ultimatum from the
manufacturers that they would not
make a single concession.
This result is being communicated
to the locals and they are asked to
vote upon further instructions to their
committee. This vote will be COM
pleted the first of the week.
Today it is learned, however. thai
there is disposition on the part Of
both the operatives and manufactures
to get together in another conference
the first of the week. when an AUST

WELL LIGHTED
Is Town Of Shreve Where Rival
Electric Com pa nies Seek
Contract.

Wooster, O., June 2S.-~Shreve, Wayne
county, is undoubtedly the best lighted
town in America, and the beauty of it
all is that it does not cost the taxpay-
ers one penny. There are two electric
Lighting companies in the village, and
rather than let one of the concerns get
a contract from the authorities for
street lighting both companies vie
with each other in putting up street
lights wherever and whenever the
lights are wanted.
The competition between the COM
panies is very strong in their efforts for
contracts for residence lighting. No
attempt is made to have a regular
price. Even the poorest classes in the
place, men who work on the railway
section and day laborers. have their
homes lighted by .incandescents. The
lights on the streets are so numerous
at night that the town is actually al
most as light as day.

RAILWAY WAR
G a " Sc d Pennsylvania
System to Abandon
Western Union.

New YORK, June 2S.-The action Of
the Pennsylvania railroad company in
making contract with the Postal COM
pany for the telegraph service upon its
system which the Western Union has
always had, is due TO arailroad quarrel.
The Gould family, which controls the
Western Union company, has recently
bought up the Western Maryland and
Virginia Central railway company, and
thus established a tidewater outlet for
the Wabash system at Baltimore. I'm
til now. and for the past two years,
since it obtained control of the Balti-
more and Ohio and entered into a
treaty of alliance with the Vanderbilts,
ttU Pennsylvania has regulated
freights between Chicago and the sea-
board. The new Gould connections
will spoil the monopoly and create an
other line from Pittsburg as well as
Chicago, st. Louis and other western
points.
There has been great deal of quiet
controversy over the situation between
the Goulds and the Pennsylvania peo-
pie. but they have not yet been able
to reach an agreement. and the Penn
sylvania board of directors have de-
clared war. Their first step Is to de-
prive the Western Union company OF
the use of the telegraph lines upon the
entire Pennsylvania system, not les;
that 1000 miles. and touching several
thousand towns and villages, each Of
which furnished more or less business
| This will compel the Western Unior
company to abandon that important
field or duplicate the plant at the cost
of many millions of dollars.

(From a STAFF correspondent.)

(From STAFF Correspondent)
Columbus, June Ex-Governor Nash
met with the state officials Friday 10
discuss the matter of an extra session
of the legislature. Tho sweeping de-
cisions of the supreme court have de,
stroyed the whole fabric of city gov
ernments of the state and there is
nothing left for the legislature to do
but to reconvenc and devise some sys-
TEN OF government, uniform in appli-
cation, for all municipalities. The ac-
tion of the supreme court has plunged
into utter chaos the character form
of government of the municipalities
and affects all special legislation of
every known character. Every special
act on the statute books is declared in
valid.
The far-reaching effect of the deci-
sions is beginning to dawn with full
force upon the people and Is filling
them with CONSERVATION. There is
hardly a city, village or hamlet in
tho state which has some form OF spec
ial legislation which is invalidatcd.
The legislature has herculean task
before 1t. 1t must, perforce practic-
ally reconstruct the entire system Of
government for Ohio cities.
It is stated that Governor Nash med
itates appointing commission to be
composed of leading members Of the
bar to draft code which will pro-
vide form of general government
and submit the same to the legislature.
NASH is TROUBLED.
Governor Nash Is very much per-
turbed over the turn affairs has taken.
He Is celebrating on the situation
and expects to announce in week or
SO when he will issue a call for the
assembling OF the legislative solons.
He will submit a message at the open
ing of the session recommending tho
action which, in his judgment. no
thinks the legislature should take.
There have been five extraordinary
sessions Of the legislature since Ohio
was admitted to statehood. The last
was convened by Governor Campbell,
October IA. 1890, for the purpose of
passing an act reorgauizing the gov
ernment of Cincinnati. The legislature
had its work for nothing for the su-
preme court declared the act unconsti-
tutional. The reconvening of the leg
islature will create big expense bill
for the state. While the members
will receive no extra compensation
