BIDS FOR THE COUNTY
COAL SUPPLY
RECEIVED

The county commissioners received
bids Monday for coal for use at the
court house and jail. Four dealers
put in bids and all quoted low rates.
The Steiner Coal company was low
est, but as yet no action has been
taken by the commissioners. The bids
were on various grades OF coal and the
quality will be considered before the
contract is let All coal Is to be
weighed upon the county scales and be
delivered, The bids were as follows
Warwick & Spelman, $3.50 to $1.7o
on Goshen and Shanesville lump.
G. A. Williams, $1.96 for Coshocton
lump, $140 for nut.
Steiner Coal Co., Coshocton lump
sl79; nut $1.32; Goshen hill lump
$1.62; nut $127; other grades Of coal
from $115 to $212.
d. l.. st. John, for the Big Vein
Coal Co., $1.75 to $240.
The Goshen hill coal has been used
for some time at the court house and
is also used at the waterworks pump

steam coal. The probabilities are that
1t will be selected owing to the low
price. These bids are expected to save
the county money.

Washington, Dec. 12.-GeoTge Rey-

of the Smoot hearing this afternoon.
Counsel Tayler for the Protestants
endeavored to find out from him some
thing from the records of the church,

Seventies" being practically the sec
retary of the church. The witness s
answers were evidently not satisfac.

to a catechism of the witness upon
Brigham Young's writings. The ques-
tions called upon witness for express
sion of opinion as 10 Youngs meaning

sermon he told the Mormon women
they could obey the law of the church
or be "set free" The witness said
that Young was angry and did not
mean what he said. .ah-E-,.
The witness stated that the presl.
dent only granted divorce in cases
wherein divorces had be:n granted by
the courts.
Counsel Tayler introduced con-
tract between George T. Watson and

the parties agreed to separate and live

Have you any daughters married?"
"One. to Benjamin F. Clough, of

.EXL|NE CASE IS SENSATIONAL
Sister of the Dead Woman Tells of Damaging Ad-
missions Which She Claims To Have Heard
the Doctor Make.

Mrs Verne Cable of Canton gave
sensational testimony in the Exline
case Monday afternoon. She was al
lowed to testify to conversation
which she claimed to nave had with
Or. Exline in her fathers barbershop
at Sparta a day or two before her
sister, Miss Emma Carnes, died. 1t
was in the presence OF her father,
John w. Carnes, and Dr. Klingel-
smith. This was the testimony that
was attempted to be introduced earlier
in the trial but which was ruled out
until the foundation for it had been
laid.
Mrs. Cable while on the stand said:
Il went up to DR.. Exline in my faith
er's shop and asked MIN If there was
any hope for Emma. He said that
there was not Then | said You
killed my sister and you did 1t for $40.
"Dr Exline replied to me and said,
How dare you soy that to me?
"Dr. Klingelsm.th then said to him,
'Yes, you did
"Exline then said, Well, perhaps l
did and If you want to have the law
on me I'll have to stand it,
At another time she claimed that
she charged the doctor with her sis-
ter's trouble and that he had said he
did 1t out Of sympathy for the girl.
This was the most sensational evi-
dence yet given. The state claims that
this testimony will be corroborated by
both DR.. Kllngelsmith and Mr..
Carnes.
In cross examination an effort was
made to show that Emma Carnes
had visited DR.. Klingelsmith some
time before her illness, but Mrs. Cable
said that she did not know when II
was. She said that her sister was sicI,
about four weeks before she died.
DR. Dewitt, who was called in con.
sultation o week or two before the
woman died stated that death was
due to blood poisoning resulting from
some infection. He heard some con
troversy between Exlin,, and Klingel
smith on one occasion while there
but could not recall the details of II

band, did not leave the United States
because of any connection he may
have had with her financial affairs In
fact, he left for Europe on health
searching trip many weeks before
there WAS any intimation Of Mrs.
Chadwick's present difficulties.
"Secondly-She wishes to state to
the public that since her arrest sac
has mad many offers of Daii, but be-
cause these offers came from personal
friends she declined to accept them. in
asmuch as unpleasant notoriety must
necessarily attach itself to any one

Lawyer Carpenter added that his

whether she will stay in this city or
will return to Cleveland without

ROBERT TERRY DEAD.
Succumbs to His Seif.lnlieted Wound
After Days of Suffering.

Mr.. Robert Terry who shot himself
on Wednesday night, November 30th,
died at II O'Clock last Wednesday at
the Mood Osteen Infirmary. He shot
himself in the right chest with a
44-callbre revolver, and while the
wound was pronounced extremely dan
gerous several days his condition
was so favorable that his recovery was
hoped. But first part Of the,week there
was q change for the worse and while
he rallied slightly Wednesday morning,
there was no real improvement, and
during the afternoon and night he
steadily grew worse until the end
came Thursday. The deceased was
son Of Mr.. John 81. Terry, of this
county, and was in his twenty eighth
year. He had many friends in this
city and county who we're inexpressi-
bly, shocked when they heard of his
attempt to take his own life, and his
death will be genuinely regretted by
all who knew him.
He stated when he regained con-
sciousness the day after the shooting
that he had not the slightesg recollec-
tion of shooting himself and that
there was no reason for his doing so.
The only explanation he could offer
was that he bad been drinking for sew
real days more than he had ever done
before and that he shot himself while
crazed from drink
The case is one of the saddest that
has occurred in this community in a
long time, for there could be nothing
sadder than for young man in his
prime to be cut down by his own hand.
The funeral of Mr.. Robert Terry
was held at Bethel church, near Os-
veon. at u O'Clock Friday

CONCERNING TABLES.

Taken all in all, the square table
with solid centre support and corner
legs that are strong without being
"lnInpy" and graceful without orna-
ment, is the best for general use. AS
dining room and library furniture
yields far less to the influence of fash
isin than does that for the drawing
room, it should be selected Ior its rich
woods, its fine construction, its solid
.ity and character. All cheap vulgari-
ties of ornament should be eschewed.
and especially that which is glued on.
Rough carving is least Objectionable,
though a handsomely grained wood
with no ornament save its own fine
coloring is far richer. Two favorite
woods for heavy dining room and Ii
brary tables are oak and mahogany
The former is toned in golden, dark
oak, Flemish brown, or cathedral
green, and is seen either in a high
shellac or a wax finish. The favorite
width for a library table is thirty
four inches; for the dining table, from
forty-fve to Gfty-four inches.-Har-
per's Bazaar.
