Hon. Cyrus Beard, the man nom

the best lawyers in the state. He was
formerly a law partner of Senator

ing clear to the bottom of a legal prop
osition. Mr.. Boards home is at
Evanston, the fountain head for su-
preme court candidates, and in that
community he is honored and respect
ed by all the people. 1t is perhaps
logical that he should try conclusions
with a man from his own town. From
the information at hand, there would
appear to be no eason why Hon.
Cyrus Beard should not cast the full

Suicide Thought to Have Poisoned
 His Wife.
 GLENS FALLS, N. Y., Jan. 2(-It is strongly suspected by the authorities here that Edmund Loveland, who died suddenly here, committed suicide by poison after having poisoned his wife, who died yesterday without medical at tendance. Immediately after the wom- ans death Loveland attributed her ill., ness to eating pork and declared that he had in vain tried to get physician to attend her. Loveland appeared to be much perturbed when the coroner took charge of the body and announced that an autopsy would be performed.
 While preparations for the autopsy were being made Loveland was taken ill and died with symptoms of poison ing within two hours. An analysis will be made of the stomachs of both Neigh bors of the Lovelands say that the cou- pie were drinking together during the greater part of the night.

GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN.

GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN. entered his grandfather's office in the shipping business in 1S44 and the next year was at the head of the Liverpool office.
 In 1858, after having been very sue cessful in business in Australia, he went to London and foated the bonds; of the Atlantic and Great Western rail- road. He interested English capitalists in the project of starting street rail- ways in London, but his intense parti- sanship during the civil war in this country caused revulsion of feeling.
 During the Beecher- Triton trial he made himself famous in his attacks on Beecher and was imprisoned in the Tombs six months for indecent writing In 1863, after having organized the Un- ion Pacific railroad, he broke ground for the first construction work at Oma- ha

 The examination of the building com missioner was so severe that Assistant Corporation Counsel Rothman inter fered in defense of MT. Williams. A clash with the coroner resulted. The witness was not permitted to testify as to his competency, and with cold sweat glistening on his forehead he left the stand after as bad 'a e;Ir as any wit ness has experien, u at the hands ot the jury and the coroner.
 Eight more churches and number of halls have been closed by order of City Building Commissioner Williams for violation of the city ordinances.

 Russian DavAsion Bound North
 ward-Thrsatentng Outlook. B WASHINGTON. Jan. 2f.-A dispatch from Seoul says Russia complains that Korean soldiers are causing trouble Korea answers that Russia must moi interfere.
 The tension in Seoul is increasing, and the native press, which probably is in- spired, ig more bitter against foreigners than formerly. The emperor's trusted advisers have daily council. The Rus sian and English legations have in. creased their guards by sixteen. The Japanese are buying and storing much rice in northern Korea. The ginseng trade is dead
 The Korean General Yihak Kiun, whose sympathies are pro Russian, has made yelled threat against foreigners.
 Additional advices received over night at the state department from the east came from Minister Allen, at Seoul. He reports that Korea is in a panicky condition, and there is ap- prehension of a riotous outbreak at any moment
 The intimation is conveyed that in- teresEad foreign emissaries are at the bottom of these disturbances, the re- suit of which may be to afford an ex- cuse f6r intervention and the placing of large forces in Korea, thus precipi- tating hostile collision between Rus sia and Japan.
 It is understood that the matter of Re-enforeing the United States lega- fion guard at Seoul will be left to the mutual arrangement of MT. Allen anC Rear Admiral Evans.
 Reports from Port Arthur say that 1000 Russian troops left there today, bound northward Otherwise city life is normal, and there has been no exo- dus of families.
 Applications by correspondents desir- ing to accompany the forces were met 7 with a reply that hostilities are not expected, and therefore 1t would be premature to issue permits.
 The authorities here state definitely that Russia has no intention or desire to interfere in Korea, even should Ja- pan continue to land small bodies of troops there in contravention of the existing treaties, as the Russians as Sert the Japanese are doing, under the pretexk that they are only railway guards.

Battle at Boswell Between Miners and Sheriff s Officers.
LABOR RIOT MAY END WITH DEATHS
Meyersda1e Company's Men Held Up Train With Strike Breakers, and Fifteen Were Hurt In the
 Fight Which Ensued.

@nr Fight Which Ensued.
 JOHNSTOWN, Pa, Jan. 2f. = In 9 battle at Boswell, near here, between strike breakers and deputy sheriffs on the one side and sympathizers of strik ing coal miners on the other at least two men were fatally wounded, three or four seriously hurt and half score slightly injured.
 More than 100 shots were fired from revolvers, shotguns and rifles, and 1t was feared for time that the trouble would get beyond the control of the To- cal authorities. s..
 4 The trouble began at Zimmerman, near Boswell, where the employees of the Meyersdale Coal company are on strike. A train bearing squad of strike breakers was held up there by rioters. who went through it and tried to get the strike breakers to leave.
 Sheriff Coleman, with his force of fif- ty deputies at Boswell, arrested thirty i've of the men and women who took part in the riot, and they were given a hearing before Justices Ickes and Bauch. The justices fixed the bail at $2,O00 each, which the strikers are hard ly able to furnish, and those who are held for court were brought to Somer- set on special train. In roundup the detectives visited in body all the places where the rioters are harbored, gathering them in as they went, and the posse met with no resistance. One of the men caught is said to be the man who shot Deputy William Begley. Dep uty George Saylor, who is thought to be mortally wounded, is still living, but is in q very critical condition. 1t was stated by Deputy Sheriff Begley that more arrests would be made. The sit uation i'll the town warrants the belief that the disorder on the part of the strikers is at an end
