RHETORICAL FIREWORKS.

Mr.. Thompson, at the opening of
court, spoke in his own defense for
about two hours. His style was high
ly rhetorical with argument interlard-
ed. The opening sentences are a fair
example, thus:
We have travelled considerable
distance in this case, from the pubic
archives of Washington to the alkali
plains of Arizona, to the Isle of Tahiti
and back again here. Argument has
taken us to the shores of the Celestial
Empire and within the theatres of that
realm, following the pot of gold.
This suit is one of the largest that
a lawyer could try. Judge Weaver has
kindly conceded that we are not now
following the pot of gold, but some
thing infinitely dearer.

MACON STARTED IT.

The respondent went into the gen.
esis of the case, making out that the
charges were the result of ]. Alfred
Magoon having been personally stung
in an alteration in the trial of Ro-
pert VS.. Sumner. Coming down 10 the
Attorney Generals part, he said his
report condemned and eXonerated in
a single breath. Geo. A. Davis was
condemned because he received $500
for working faithfully and hard for
his clients. Magoon was bathed in
quasi-judicial whitewash. If Ma
goon's testimony was taken as true
it amounted to nothing.
AS the matter was sifted down in
this trial it came to question of
whom did Humphreys, Thompson &
Watson represent, and how did they
represent. Mr.. Thompson referred to
a proposition of the Assistant Attor-
accused of unprofessional conduct in
relation to Sumner, yet if found to
have been negligent of the interests
of the Ellises they should be dis
barred
The prosecution thus had jettisoned
their original contention and were
providing for ground to stand upon in
any event. They did not claim the
humane provision of the criminal law
which required the proving of charges
beyond the shadow of a doubt. but
they did claim that the evidence must
be clear and satisfactory.
BRAKES OFF.
Mr. Thompson broke through all re-
straint of the traditional calmness of
a supreme court when he reverted
again to Magoon. Here is an almost
verbatim example:

charges in this case. Magooni Moved

TWO DEAD AND

fatal Eff cts Of Raw Pork Dict
-Ye ungst WIN Family is
Stricken.

Youngstown, Jan. 26.-Two weeks
ago Joseph Fallow died from an at
tac]: of trichinosis, the result of eat
ing raw pork and his wife, who was
also i'll at the time, passed away Sun
day from the same disease. A FIVE
year-old son of the young couple is i'll
from the same cause at the hospital,
and the disease has made such progress
that fatal termination is expected.
Fallow was foreman of gang of
furnace lahorers In the employ of the
Brier Hill Iron and Coal company, and
the couple. being very thrifty, owned
a neat home. To the physicians they
admitted eating raw pork for about
a week before being taken Ill, assert
ing that they preferred it that way to
being cooked. Thus far no other cases
have developed in the locality where
they resided.

NEW SUBWAY
Improvement for Benefit Of Passenger
Traffic Soon to be
Built.
Will also RAVE FOURTH TRACK.

A subway under the tracks of the
Pennsylvania at the Canton station is
under consideration by the company.
A fourth track, to be finished next
spring, is under course of construction
now at the Pennsylvania yards, and
when this is complete subway will
be necessary to enable the passengers
to get from the station to the last
track, In case a train should be stand
ing on any one of the tracks between
the station and the train on one of the
outer tracks.
This improver-Snt has been consid-
cred advisable IN view of the fact that
both freight and passenger trains stop
at the local station and sometimes con-
siderable inconvenience arises from the
blocking OF the passage to the outer
track. This will be wholly overcome
by the construction of the subway,
which will permit of passage under the
trains with an opening at each track.
The work will probably be started
within few weeks.

WANTED INSIDE PRICE
ON RAILROAD TICKET
Foreigner at Wheeling Office
Evidently Thought Hgsnt
Nseded the Money.

Patrons of the Wheeling road were
amused Monday morning by the ef-
forts of foreigner, who tried to drive
a hard bargain with the agent. Har-
ry Lawson, for a ticket to Kent.
This David Harum of sunny Italy
at first cautiously offered fifteen cents
for the ticket which is sold at eighty
cents. Agent Lawson courteously in
formed him that the ticket market in
Canton was brisk of late and the
Wheeling could not possibly part with
a ticket for less than the stipulated
price. The man smiled a joyous care
free smile, and, with a knowing wink,
raised his previous offer to a quarter.
Even this generous offer failed to
tempt Mr.. Lawson to an exchange of
commodities and 1t was some time be-
fore he could convince the man that
nothing less than the full amount
could secure the coveted past-board.
Finally it gradually dawned upon the
alien that it was OF small moment to
the Wheeling whether he Travelled
over the road or not. and after re-
peatedly increased offers, made first
at one window and afterwards at the
other, he delivered over the full
amount and got his ticket.

county is part. Senator Wilhelm, re-
Gently deceased, represented this dis

Pninesville, was speaker, wishes to re-
turn to the legislature as state sena-
tor and will be candidate for the
nomination against Pollock. A third
contestant in this field is Judge Dc

He bases his claim for the nomination
on the fact that Carroll county has
apparently been neglected of late while

Stark, has had monopoly on the state

PRESERVED
HER PURITY
At Point Of ReyolYer--Mrs. Thoms-
terIy's Startling Story.
GAPING CROWD LISTENS TO DETAILS

Mrs. Helen Thornsberry, the defend
ant in the divorce case brought by
her husband, David Thornsberry, testi-
fed Monday morning that she had de-
Tended her virgin purity with a revol-
yer during almost all of the ten years
OF her married life. She stated that
an agreement had been reached be-
tween her and Thornsbery before
their marriage that the ordinary re-
latioue of man and wife should not
be observed, and that he was SO anx-
ions to secure home that he entered
into the agreement, the condition of
which were fixed by himself.
Shortly after their marriage the hus-
band attempted to violate the agree
ment and she in order to protect her
self had her brother buy a revolver.
This she loaded and placed under her
pillow and had constant recourse to it
in order to compel her husband to
feep faith with her.
Tiis attentions became so strenuous
that she finally at the point of the re-
volver chased him out of her bed
room and for many years while they
still lived together he was not al
lowed to enter the sacred precincts
of her apartments. She admitted that
she frequently threatened to kill him
and that by only such threats could he
be compelled to cease his annoyances.
While this testimony was being given
the hundred or more ladies and girls
in the court room almost held their
breath. The only sound that could be
heard was the low voice OF the woman
as she recounted her woes.
Prior TO reaching this sensational
part of her testimony, the wife told
how she bought the furniture for the
home and paid 6or lit by washing One
bill $50 she washed out week after
week. In the first three, years of their
married life they moved ten times, be-
cause the husband would not pay the

FATALLY HIJRT

Engineer John Satterfield, of the

in a wreck at the transfer switch of
the Ohio Central and c., H. & ID. In
Toledo Saturday. There is a short
curve in the switch coming down from
the Ohio Central to the c., H. & ID. and
Engineer Satterfield was backing his
engine down this grade, trailing a
number of cars. At the same time a
train on the c., II. & ID. was being
hacked up, and the crash came. The
fireman jumped, and Engineer Satter-
field was warned, but 1t Is not known
whether he attempted to jump or not.
The tender was jammed up into the
engine cab by the force Of the COLI
sion, and a number of cars were de-
rallied. Engineer Satterfeld was found
with broken back lying about 2
feet from his engine. Coroner Storz
viewed the body and will inquire fully
into the manner of the accident.

searching questions hurled at her by
Attorney Sterling.
During the wfe's testimony, the hus-
band sat at the counsel table making
half inaudable remarks in an under
tone, and showed great excitement.
His actions during Blair's testimony
were the same, and occasionally a
word not complimentary would slip
from between his tightly set teeth.
After the wife had completed her
story, number of other witnesses
were placed upon the stand to testify
as to the character of Mrs. Thorns-
berry. It is expected that the testi-
mony will all be completed Monday,
unless the rebuttal takes longer than
is anticipated.
