vile, yesterday sentenced to five years
in the peDitentiary for performing a
criminal operation upon Phoebe Nc
Keowan, his Is year old housekeeper,
was received at the ponitcntiary late
Tuesday evening. The only statement

convicted. The case was full of revolt
irg details. Judge W. s. Metcalte was

cuont appeal to the judge to set aside
the verdict. Molten fof a new trial
was overruled The case has attracted
widespread attention. Rev. Hungats
was pastor of the Tenth Avenue Baptist

Columbus, April l. - There is un-
mistakable evidence that the next Re-
publican state convention will be
held in this city. About three weeks
ago Hon. Smith w. Bennett, candidate
for Republican nomination for altor-
ney general, sought to engage rooms
at the Neil house, but as the manager
was absent he concluded there was no
hurry and made no immediate effort
to close a contract for them. Satur-
day he dropped in and found, to his
great, surprise, he had procrastinated
too long. Every good room had been
been let to aspirants
for favors at the hands of the Repub-
lican convention. Some close figur-
ing was done and by stretching a
point room, with limited accommo-
datlons on the second floor was Sc
cured for Mr.. Bennett.
The early scramble for rooms istak-
en- to mean that this city will get the
big convention. Attorney General
Sheets, who cherishe3 within his
bosom a desire to improve the COM
plexion of the bench Of the supreme
court, is unprovided with a room. He
was of the opinion that one could
be had at any old time merely for the
asking; but as matters stand now he
will have to either buy off some can
didate who has already engaged
rooms or else be content with a cor
ner Of the house, of by dimensions
or thereabouts. The committee has
not fixed the time and place for the
but ii is evident the candi-
dates have been given a tip that Co.
lumbus will be the place.
The Ohio exposition commission
met in this city recently and approv-
ed plans for the building in which the
exhibits of this state will be shown at
the st. Louis fair. 1t will be a mag
structure. The architecture
will be French renaissance. The di-
will be 1S0x90 feet and there
will be spacious porticos and porches.
The building will stand on an elevation
be two stories high and have three
story dome. On the first floor there
will be halls running in four directions
through the building, and on tho sec
cnl floor special rooms Will be reserved
for the members of the commission and
Ihe state officers. The building will
DC general headquarters for Ohio peo-
pie. The cost must not exceed $35, 900. |
Frank l.. Packard OF Columbus, who
las designed many state buildings, is
The architect. Ii is not likely that an
ohio regiment will he sent to attend |
he dedicatorial exercises on April 80, |
next, the state emergency board de-
lining to make an appropriation, there
ceing no warrant In law to make one,
md while the exposition commission |
;ould pay the expenses out of the $75,- |
700 appropriation, II will probably not |
Ia SO, lest it might cause a short
age.
The story comes from Cincinnati that
4 Mayor Fleishmann is reelected may |
or OF that city that he will be the can
iidate OF George B. Cox, of Cincinnati, |
'or the Republican nomination for gov
ernor and will be the only candidate
against Myron T. Herrick of Cleveland. |
The report has some semblance to |
when 1t is considered that
Fleischman was averse to standing for |
term as mayor. but was per-
suaded ID reconsider and enter the race
Dy Cox and his henchmen. Contem-
poraneously tits reported that Senator
W. G. Harding, of Marion, and Albert
Douglass, OF Chillicothe, would retire
rom the race for governor before the
