m blood'Stslncd soap on which was .- some
balr. He told of the footprints on the
blood stained floor, and upon being shown
pieces of the flooring that had been taken up

Chicaoo, Not. 9 la the Cronln trial yester
day Mrs. John Lindgrea. a dsughWr of Jonas

while he wouldn't swear that Coughlln and
Kunie were tbe ones, on account of his never

holz's evidence because; bis name was.

Tbe court. overrated .the objection, but
permitted the defense to postpone their
croRS-e'xamination. I'
Charles lierchmer, a tailor, who keeps
a shoD near Buohholz's saloon was then
called. 'Ills testimony corroborated that
of Buchhola that Kunze boarded there
some time, and was known as John
Kaiser. Frank O. Washburne, a saloon-
keepor at 1820 Wellington avenue, saw
Kunze and O'Sulllvan at bis aa'Tonaome

flushed . while Klahre waa giving his
testimonv. On cross-examination Klahre
said it was May Oth when Burke brought

Bpcrirs.
Mike Gilbert, a sower cleaner, testi
fied to finding Cronin's effects lost t rt
day, and then the clothes and instru
menu of the murdered physician were
brought into the court room. There
was a buzz of excitement irom toe spec
tator's benches as the tell-tale relics
were lugged in, and the clerk was com
pelled to wield bis gavel vigorously to
Induce tho crowd, which had risen to
catch a glimpse of them as they were
exposed to tbe view of the lury, to sit
down. Tho prisoners, savo lleggs, who
scarcely looked at them, evinced as
much cariosity as tho spectators. Chief
of Police Hubbard read the card and
several prescriptions of the doctor's

: A CROSSETITION
Filed in th Suit of th'. Boston Safe De
- posit and Trust Company Against th
.,. Ohio Western Coal nod Iron Company
, UK win lame a Sensation.'. , -
1 Cqi.tjmhus, 0., Nov. ,12. A pp'ocial' to
the Press from Logan, 0 says: Some
weeks airo the Boston fiafn iVnnalt anil
Trust Company filed Buit'in tbenocklrii
County common pleas court, to foreclose
a mortgage securing the bonds of tbe
Ohio & Western Coal arid Iron Company;
Whose recent failure Is still so severely
felt throughout tbe valley, Monday the
nwor apd oross-petition of W. D. Lee
was iimif, ana u.Diag iajr tomans a wias
sensation and to exnose to the nublls
curiosity some of the interesting history
t the various ooal speculations in this
part of the country. . . . . . . !
'The OhloA Western Coal arid' Iron
Company was formed on the ruins of the
nooKing tool ana- iron wmpsny, the,
Buohtel Iron .Company, the XX Comi
paoy, the Hop Furnace Company and
the Standard Coal and Iron . Company;
tbe last named havlnir been the Imme
diate predecessor pf the Ohio &. Wostn
ern,. , These companies . were owned by
.various eastern capitalists, ,nd included
among their projectors s number of well
known public men, as well as a number
oi men who were equally as well known
bn account of their bold speculation in
tne mineral rusouror-s oi this State.
Among the latter, and by far the most
prominent, was WtE. Lee, formerly of
Newark, O., but now a resident of New
lor it. whose answer and cross-petition.
now ton file, Is of s mput interesting
zharaotor. .. The 'answer.-. oovers fifty
pages pf type-written manor and fully
seta out the scheme by whloh the new
company, which had no! exlstenoe, his
tory or capital of .' its own', obtained the
title to 6,000 acres of. land in consider
ation of assuming the liabilities upon it
and which were to be paid by bonds, se
cured in turn by a mortgage on the iden
tical property transferred from the old
companies to the new. . t . r
Among the creditors of the old com
panies was W. D. Lee, who, by the
terras of the agreement, was to receive
the enormous sum of SI. 803.250 in bonds
of tbe Ohio & Western. These bonds
wore to be a part of the authorized issue
of $3,500,000, secured by mortgages to
the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Com
pany, Which is about to be foreclosed.
Lee claims, however, that the bonds
were never Issued to him but put in
soak or sold by J. M. Oliddbn, the presi
dent of the company, of Ulidden &
Curtis, whose failure a year ago precl
niteted the ruin of the Ohio A Western,
It is also charged that bonds woro fraud
ulently Issued to other parties without
consideration and accepted by them in
Daa lattn. The answer insists on these
bonds and the ones converted to the use
of Glldden being turned over to Mr. Lee
so that he may pro-rate with other
creditors who hold their bonds in good
faith, out of the proceeds- of the mort
gaged premises, which Include about
6,000 acres of coal lands in Athens,
Hocking and Perry oounties.
The great mineral resources owned by
the Ohio A Western in these three coun
ties has necessarily been inactive since
its failure, which has, therefore, been
most far-reaching In Its extent and char
actor and has greatly depressed the in
dustries and enterprises of the Hocking
valley and a speedy decision of this suit
Is anxiously looked forward to by our
people.

I had boen encaged bv the house as stock
elerlc only a low weeks, writes corre
spondent of the American - Commercial
Traveller, when one day tbe bead of ths
firm came to me and said : "Well, Mr.
Blank, how would you like to go out on the
roadl" "First-rate," said L "I have not
had any 'experience, but I thick I can get
along; any way, I should like to try ft" So
it wss agreed that 1 should make my first
trip tho next week.' Howl looked forward
to that day when I should pick up my
"grip" and launch out into the world s full
fledged traveling-man. 1 My headquarters
were at Sk Paul, and for that town I put
out)uatesthesun was sinking one bright
day In the month of July. A large number
of my newly joined brothers were On board
the train, laughing and joking, as 1 after
ward found out, as only traveling-men can.
It was just dark when the train stopped at
a little depot some eighty miles from the
place where I started.' A number of
passengers got on and off. ' Among the in
oomers was an old man - carrying an
old-fashioned carpet-bag in one hand
and a round parcel in the other. He
seated himself just opposite to where I wss
sitting, and gazed around with abowildered
look. It was quite evident that he was not
accustomed to this mode of travel Pres
ently the conductor's voice is heard in
"Tickets, please; got your tickets ready."
Ths old gentleman starts, a blank look
comes in his face, his trembling hand is
thrust first Into one pocket, then another.
The carpet-bag Is opened and searched thor
oughly. The little round package Is opened.
but reveals nothing but sdry loaf of Vienna
bread. Pockets are searched again, bet to
no avail; be has l"st his ticket The con
ductor passes on, promising to come around
again. A traveling man steps up to the
now prostrate form, and, patting him on
the back, asks his story. The perspiration
stood on the old man's brow, his eyes were
wet with tears, and amid sobs he told his
story. He was a Dakota farmer; bis par
ents had both died one week ago that day
He was telegraphed to come, but could
not raise money enough to pay car
farea distance of about ' 1,300
miles. Including return. A traveling sales
man who knew him to be a poor but honest
man had said to him : "Here, take my mile
age book; go and bury your father and
mother, and when you return give me bock
the book and pay me for what you use
whenever you can." Thus It was that the
old man was enabled to see his father and
mother before they were laid away. This,
which was a 2,000 mile book, was th one he
lost. He had sixty cents in his pockot, a
loaf of dry Vionna bread by his side, a wife
and six children at home, 600 miles away,
and no ticket. This was the story which
touched the heart of the traveling man.
I'll subscribe nve dollars, boys," said th
nowly-made brother. "So will I," said an
other, and in live minutes thirty-four dol
lars, taken from the pockets of traveling
salesmen, was banded to tbe old man
to pay his fore and koep what was ovor.
lie could not thank bis rescuers his heart
was too full; great tears rolled down his
check and his head was hung with the
thought that he was now dependent upon
charity. The conductor returned for his
lure, and humbly the poor old man was
tendering him the money when his eyes fell
on something on the floor. It was ttie mile
age hook. -With a yell be bounded"down on
it. "Thank God, I am saved from charity.
Sir, oh I sir, here is your money. I have
found my ticket," and the glistening eyes
soon like lire. He could not be prevailed
upon to take tbe money nor could he pour
blessings enough upon tbe heads of his
newly-found friends.
The money was finally handed back to the
contributors and tbe last we saw of the old
gontlemoa from Dakota ho was sitting in
tho smoking-car, happy as a king, whiling
uway the hours with a loaf of dry Vienna
bread.
THE CHRONIC BORROWER.
A Woman Who Is a KuUane to Bar
friend! and Hi Community.
A woman who is always "just out" of the
small wares of tbe kitchen is s nuisance to
the community, says tbe Yaukee Blade.
She will run in on you at any and all hours,
mid want to borrow just a little sugar, or
spice, till she can send to tbe grocer's. She
really did not know she was anywhere near
out until she went about bcr cooking, and
tuen she found sbe hadn't a dust of sugar
tn tbe house, und Lot s soul around any
where that sho could sond out after any.
And she will tell you that sbe docs so hate
(o troublo you ; for if there Is any thing on
earth sho dislikes to do It is to borrow and
tho never does It wbon shooan help it; but
now bor pie-crusts are all on tho plates, and
sho was obliged to, boc-ause she could not
spare time to run to tbe grocer's. And she
Will sit down In your xltcuen half an hour.
and ask about everybody in town; and,
Licanrlii'o, siio will tako tn aocouut of
every thing her eyes full on, and collect
capital for endless gossip as to your habits
mm methods.
Whoa the borrower returns whitt she
borrows it Is always In a little smaller
measure, If, Inoeed.'she returns It at all.
And you mny oonyratnlate yourself if you
ret half what belongs to you. A regulur
borrower will borrow every thing, from a
niece of suit fish for breakfast down to your
buy, if you hove one.
Tho book borrower is even s greater
nuisance than tiio woman who borrows
h msi'hold supplies. Sho never hesitates to
ask for tne choicest or costliest books in
your house. And sbe seems to think thut
sho confers a favor on you by so asking.
And If you are foolish enough to lend, the
possibility Is that you will have to go after
tno books In question, and you will find on
l!ng so that she bos lent them to some
Inend of hers, who wanted to read them,
und sho will tell you that sho know you
vnuld be willing for you are so ' good
natured. Never have a borrower for a
neighbor if you can help it.
