AN OHIO CITY IN DANGER.
GOrGes to Gradually Move To-
ward the City.

Toledo, o., March This city is in
imminent danger Sunday. There has
been rain during the entire day, and
the ice gorges up the river have been
gradually moving down towards the
city. AT ten o'clock the ice has formed
a temporary gorge five miles above the
city. At the brige of the Toledo Rail-
way & Terminal Co., one mile below
the gorge, the water is 19 feet above
the normal stage. The gorges took out
three pieces of the Urban and Inter-
Urban Railway Co.'S bridge across the
river at Maumee city, and also did
considerable damage to the wagon
bridge at that point, but did not take
the bridge. In the city the water was
about seven feet above the normal
stage, and was rising at the rate OF
about six inches an hour. Guards are
stationed at points along the river and
are keeping the officials in this city
informed as to the situation.

AsTOUNDS THE MORMONS
The Effect of President Smiths Tes-
timony in Salt Lake.
Members of the Mormon Faith Are
Almost Paralyzed At the Reve-
IatiOn of Their Secrets.


Salt Lake City, Utah, March 6.-The
testimony given by President Smith,
head of the Mormon church, before
the senate committee, astounded both
Mormon and. GENTLE For years the
policy Of the church has been one Of
secrecy, and President Smiths action
in boldly stating that not only him
self but the rest Of the church officials
are living in open defiance of the law
has so amazed the members Of the
Mormon faith that their tongues are
almost paralyzed.
The official organ of the Mormon
church praises President Smith and
savagely attacks the anti-Smoot peo-
pie. 1t accuses Attorney Tayler Of try
ing to peer beneath the "bed clothing
of'Mormon homes and denounces him
for "prying into the private affairs of
President Smith and his fellow-p -polyga-
mists"
1t is known here that Smith was
compelled to make his confession be-
cause he had knowledge that the anti
Smoot people had clear case against
him a,d other church officials. There
was Lgthing else for him to do but
make a complete confession.

Darlington simply looked at his ac-

sat facing the jury most of the time.
and from time to time his smile re-
laxed and his face resumed its serious
look. Barrington's silent composure
at such times indicates a most remark
able self-control
Following Mr.. Gardner came Attor-
ney Wilfred Jones for the defense. He
made short talk. Then Attorney
Shelley Grover followed with the main
argument for harrington, which occu
pied over three hours. Prosecuting At

indictment charging murder by shoot
ing, drowning, choking and cutting Nc
Cams throat, the court said that there
was no evidence to support the count
charging killing by cutting the throat
with razor, and instructed that this
should not be considered.
Sketch of His Career.
The crime for which Darlington
must hang was the murder of his friend
and benefactor James T. McCann, a
well-known horseman, who befriended
the bogus English lord after his release
from the workhouse and took him into
his family. The murder occurred near
Bonfils, st. Louis county, June Is, 1903,
where Darlington lured McCann late
at night. Darlington afterward re-
turned to McCann's home in the city,
| removed his bloody clothing, and is
said to have paid assiduous court to
McCann's widow until the body of the
murdered man was found ten days
later.
harrington, who is said to have a
record as an English crook, came to
| st. Louis in December, 1902, and soon
sprung into notoriety. Representing
himself as an English lord, he became
acquainted with many prominent peo-
pie, and finally married Miss Grace
Wilhelmina Cochrane, of Kansas City,
who he evidently thought an heiress
She thought him a nobleman, and both
were deceived. harrington was kicked
out of the house by Miss Cochrane's
brother, and afterwards sent to the
workhouse for disturbing Cochrane's
peace. He was later pardoned by May.
