Major McKinley fcHs well after the record-breaking week just closed and has the necessary energy for the week to entue, which will surpass thft one closed The Major went to the morning services at the First Methodist Church. In thf afternoon he accompanied Mrs. McKinley on her usual drive, lie alao paid his accustomed daily visit to his mother and then received a few visitors and read the papers, an occupation in which he particularly delights. Murat Halstead and ex-Congressman Finley.'of Baltimore, were guests to-day. They left this afternoon. The crowd yesterday was the largest, the Interests represented the most diversified, the programme the most varied in this remarkable campaign. The citizens in general here are tired out. There was scarcely a branch of tn.de that was not affected by the enormous crowdl Hotel and, restaurant keeper and their employes were exhaustfed and the city has not in many a day been so quiet as during this Sunday breathing spell. Captain A. T. Wimberly, Louisiana's member of the national committee, came to Canton yesterday when the demonstration was at its height and remained until this evening. He was simply amazed at the scenes on the McKinley lawn yesterday, in which ten States participated. 'Never in my experience, or in my reading," said he, "have I seen such a demonstration. It is marvelous and I can scarcely realize that you are having these calls from delegations every day." The week's programme so far as arranged to-night shows no cessation of the Canton pilgrimages. The following delegations are scheduled: Monday. Oct. 12 Citizens of the Monongahela valley. Coal Center, Pa.; miners and laborers of Roscoe, Pa.

' Soond.Money Republican Sore of 104 , Seats In tlte Honme. " WASHINGTON, Oct. 11. Chairman Babcock, of the Republican congressional committee, has given out the following statement: . "I make the claim that the sound-money TJonuhlioans are now sure of 194 seats in the next House. By this I do not mean sound-money Democrats nor is my reference intended to free-silver Republicans. At this time two years ago this committee was onlv claiming 190 sure Republican districts, but was predicting that many of the doubtful districts would return Republican members. We are in a better condition now. feeling confident of four, more votes than we did then. The result of that election gave us 244 members instead of 190. I have made what I believe to be a. conservative estimate of the situation at this time, but have chosen to make no prediction regarding fifty doubtful districts except that the najorlty will undoubtedly be represented by Republicans. As matters stand now, according to my estimate given th press several days ago the soundmonev Republicans are sure of a working majority of thirty-two. I by no means concede thrt our majority in the next House will be limited to this figure. All I care to add to this statement is that free silver will be woefully in the minority In the Fifty-fifth Congress." Claims of State Chairmen. CHICAGO, Oct. 11. The Tribune telegraphed all the chairmen of the various political parties in all the States of the Union asking their claims regarding the congressional elections this fall and how many members of the House of Representatives each one expected to return. The Republicans claim a total of 2rrf. yet to be elected; Democrats. 2J9: Populists. 24; gold Democrats, 5; silver Republicans, 3. NOT EXTITLE1) TO THE .SAME. Man Advocating: Free Silver . Should Be Called a Democrat. WASHINGTON. Oct. 11. John R. Proctor, of Kentucky, the chairman of the United States Civil-service Commission, has made public an article reviewing the history of the Democratic party's position on the question , of the gold standard. Mr. Proctor has hen at some pains to collect authentic! information regarding the coinage laws of the past, which satisfied him that the framers of the Constitution and the founders of the government were united and determined that the coined value of our gold and silver money should correspond with the market value of the bullion contained. This, Mr. I ''roc tor says, is demonstrated by the writings of Jefferson Monroe and Hamilton. Mr. Proctor quotes many hixh Democratic authorities in support of his position, and concludes by saying that many others might b eited to show that the free-silver plank In the Chicago platform Is a violation of Democratic principle mid that no man advocating nat money has a right to call himself a Democrat.

It is understood that matters of importance relating to the campaign will be considered at the meeting, but Mr. Butler wyi not state the exact purpose of the gathering.

My employer has told me it would be to my interest to vote for McKinley this year. When I asked him why, he said because it would be to his (my employer's) interest for me to vote that way; that it would make his business better if the Republican party got Into power again; that, his business being better, I would get more wages. Last presidential election he asked me to vote the Republican ticket, giving the same reasons, but not seeing it that way, I voted the Democratic ticket, and things turned out just as my employer told me they would. Although I am getting nearly the same wages as before, yet the factory does not run half the time, and I am not getting enough money to live on, though he gives me work whenever he possibly can, and that, too, in preference to men who voted, his way, because I do my work batter than they, I presume. In fact, I have learned long ago that my interests and my employer's are identical. When times are good for him they are good for me. Yet I tell you candidly I don't want to vote for McKinley, because I have always been a Democrat. I admire you, Mr. Bryan, because you are sincerely honest in your desire to see the workingman prosper. This being the case, I want to make you a proposition, which I think is perfectly reasonable and wholly possible if ycur position is correct. At Hammond, Ind.. on Wednesday, and several times previous, you said, in substance the same thing, as follows: "I want to call your attention to one thing. If under free coinage your dollars will only buy half as much, that means that your employers would get twice as much for what they produce, twice as many dollars as they do now, and If your employers get twice as many dollars as they do now then they can pay you twice as many dollars for your wages as they do now. If they love you as well after election as they seem to love you before election, when they want your votes. Now, my friends, just remember this: . Whenever your employer tells you that under free coinage your wages will only be half as much, you tell him that, you are not afraid that he will ever let you suffer, because he is loving you so much now too much to let you be jeopardized by getting poor dollars. If he tells you that while he can pay you double, but he won't do it. tell him that a man that can help you and won't do it ought not tell you that he will before elections." ; Now. 1 showed the above to my employer, and the following lines was his reply: "Although I cannot constitvite myself a county poor farm to talte care of all my employes who would suffer by a severe panic, yet you have been a good and faithful employe, and I want to see you do well as well as myself, hence I advise you to vote for McKinley, because I think it best for both our interests. But I will make you this proposition: In case Bryan Is elected, and 1 make $2 clear profit on my products instead of Jl. I promise you. on the honor of a man. that yours, as well as all the others of my employes' wages, shall be Increased proportionately, if. on the other hand, vou and all the other employes will agree that in case of Bryan's election times grow worse, so that I shall not make more than half what I do now. you will allow me to reduce your wages proportionately. We will draw up writings to that effect. Now, boys, if you want me to love vou as much after the election as I do now. it is only fair that you should love me as much as I do you." This proposition of our employer. I think, is perfectly reasonable and just. And now, Mr. Bryan. I want to make you a proposition, which you certainly ought to accept. It is this: If you will publicly declare in your speeches, and in an open letter signed by yourself, backed by the signatures of the members of the national Democratic committee, giving bond in the sum of $3.000.0tX, to be distributed to the unemployed poor in case your promise falls, that my employer, as well as all other factory owners that shall conduct their business in strictly business economy, shall make $2 clear profit on their products, to where they now make $1. then the workingmen will agree to cast their vote solidly for you. I know what I am saying, Mr. Bryan, when I make you the above promise of the support of the workingmen on these conditions. A WORKINGMAN. Indianapolis. Oct. 10. An Unworthy Candidate. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: That great Democratic newspaper, the Louisville Courier-Journal, whose circula tion penetrates the entire southern half of our Union, proclaimed the truth when it said: "No person of Mr. Bryan's intellectual and moral grade has ever been elected President or has ever before been nominated for that office by either of the great political parties." This correctly sizes the candidate, who, in mental equipment and character, falls far below the class always heretofore considered worthy of the place. If any one will scan the list of Presidents from Washington to Cleveland, and make an impartial appraisement, he wlil find no one who grades so low in intellect and public services. Mr. Bryan is so fond of talking about "classes" that he could not object to having himself classified. The candidate cannot fall below the platform on which he was nominated, and, possibly, it was made to suit his crude ideas of morality. In every civilized community there will be found laws which are aimed to protect people from the ravages of individual cases of highway robbery and punishing those found guilty. The Chicago platform advocates a grand national "holdup" by scaling debts to one-half their nominal valu?. It is true the word robbery is not usfd. but it names the method by which the crime can be accomplished payment in money worth half its face. The free and unlimited coinage of silver dollars at the ratio of 16 to 1 can mean nothing else. The creditor, robbed of his money by an act of Congress, is helpless, but. If assaulted on the highway by a footpad, he may successfully defend himself. The men who advocate the morality of that platform do not favor individual robbery, but they seem to think robbery by the Nation on a. grand scale Is commendable. The free coinage of depreciated silver dollars to enable dishonest people to scale their debts is bad enough, but there are worse things in the platform than that I instance the encouragement of mobs like the Debs rebellion in Chicago in mi, when the United States malls were stopped and interstate commerce Interrupted. The President is denounced for sending troops to suppress the rebellion without first having asked permission of the Governor of Illinois. This odious doctrine of Stales' rights, shot to death by the Union army and surrendered at ApIomattox. is stought to be revived at Chicago. In all his sjceches through the country Mr. liryan proclaimed his determination to carry out these doctrines if elected and to do so would put an end to the federal Union, for a government which cannot enforce Its laws is no government at all M.

STRICKEN IN CHURCH

Sl'DDEV DEATH OF THE MOST REV. EDWARD WHITE BEASOX, D. D., The Venerable Archbishop of Canterbury, Primate of All England, and .Metropolitan, GUEST OF MR. GLADSTONE AXD ATTENDED II A WARDEN" CHIKCH TESTER DA V MORMXG, Where II. Wan Seized with Apoplexy and Died in the Rectory a Few 311 mites Later. LONDON, Oct. 11. The. Archbishop of Canterbury was seized with apoplexy after the service commenced at Hawarden Church this morning. He was carried to the Hawarden rectory, where he died at 11:30 o'clock. The Rev. Archibald Farrar, dean of Canterbury, received a telegram from Stephen Gladstone, the rector of Hawarden Church, stating that the Archbishop of Canterbury passed away peacefully and suddenly at 11:15 o'clock. He had attended the early communion. Dean Farrar, in preaching in the cathedral this evening, referred to his forty-five years' intimacy with the deceased prelate. The Archbishop of Canterbury arrived at Hawarden on Saturday evening on his return from a visit in the north of Ireland. He appeared then to be in robust health, and expressed to Mrs. Gladstone his great gratification over his Irish tour. He arose early on Sunday and attended the early communion with his wife and others. The weather was, bitterly cold and Mrs. Gladstone did not attend the church, but at 10 o'clock the Archbishop and Mrs. Benson, Henry Gladstone, Airs. Gladstone, Mrs. Drew and Dorothy Drew went to the morning service. The whole party occupied the Gladstone pew near the chancel. Directly the service began and while the n rector, Rev. Stephen Gladstone, was reading the absolution, Archbishop Benson, who was kneeling, was seen to twitch in the arm for a minute and then he collapsed altogether. Henry Gladstone, finding that the Archbishop had had a dangerous seizure, called to the clerk and others, who carried him into the library adjoining the rectory. Doctors were hastily summoned. The stricken prelate was gasping painfully for breath, and applications of ether and other means to induce artificial respiration were resorted to. Mr. Gladstone, the rector, who had left the church when the Archbishop was carried out, returned and announced the illness to the congregation, who were waiting in painful suspense. He asked for their prayers during the- litany. All efforts to rally the distinguished patient proved vain, and he died in a few minutes. Henry Gladstone whispered the news to the rector, who announced the Archbishop's death, the news causing a profound sensation among the worshipers in the church. The hymn "Forever with the Lord" was sung, and the dead march was played, all present standing and showing themselves to be deeply affected Mrs. Gladstone conveyed the sad news to her husband, who was greatly shocked and distressed by it. Afterwards, remarking on the event, Mr. Gladstone said: "He died like a soldier." , The official medical announcement of the death to the coroner stated that It was due to apoplexy. The medical attendants concur In the opinion that heart failure caused the death, but that this was directly due to the seizure. Mrs. Benson was present at the time of her husband's death, and she afterwards went to Hawarden Castle. The bells were tolled and references were made to the death of the primate of all England in many of the churches in. the kingdom tonight. CAREER AND TRAITS. Review of the Life and Characteristics of the Archbishop. The most Rev. Edward White Benson, D. D Archbishop of Canterbury, Primate of all England, and Metropolitan, son of Edward White Benson, Esq., of Birmingham Heath, and formerly of York, was born near Birmingham, in 1S29. He was educated at King Edwards School, Birmingham and at Trinity College, Cambridge, of which he was successively scholar and fellow, and where he graduated B. A., In 1852, as a first class in classical honors, and senior Chancellor's medallist, obtaining also the place of a senor optine in the mathematical tripos. He was graduated of M. A., in 1853; B. D., in 1SG2; D. D. in IG7 and Hon. D. C. L., (Oxford), 1S84. He was for many years one of the masters m IVjgby School and he held the head mastership of Wellington College from Its first opening, in 1858, down to 1872. For several rars he was examining chaplain of the late Bishop of Lincoln, by whom he was appointed Chancellor and Canon Residentiary of Lincoln, having been a plebendary of the same cathedral for three years previous, lie was at different times select preacher to the University of Cambridge and to the University of Oxford, Hon. Chaplain to the Queen. 173. and chaplain in ordinary, 1875-1877. In December. 18i6. he was nominated by the crown, on the recommendation of the Earl of Beaconsfield. to the newly restored bishopric of Truro, and was consecrated in St. Paul's Cathedral April 2"i. 1ST7. During his occupation of the see he Iwgan the bunding of a new cathedral at Truro, of which the ouiward shell has cost over 4L100.W, much of that sum having been gathered through the energy of the Bishop. In December, 18S2. Dr. Benson was appointed by the crown, on Mr. Gladstone's recommendation, to the archbishopric of Canterbury-, in succession to Dr. lalt. Dr. Benson had published various religious works. When Dr. Benson was raised to the archbishopric of Canterbury London Truth published a sketch of the divine from which the following is taken: According to Truth the keynote of Dr. Benson's successful career was the high esteem in which he was held by the late Prince Consort. He was a remarkable man, possessing many characteristics of a great one. but his abilities were rather solid than striking. He was not a great theologian, like his old friend and schoolfellow. Dr. Lightfoot, nor a brilliant scholar, nor a great preacher in a popular sense. The power of organization, which he conspicuously manifested was hardly a sufficiently rare talent to have' marked him for his high position. But he and the Prince were a good deal thrown together in the early days of Wellington College and the excellent impression he created upon his Illustrious coadjutor had an important influence upon his ftestinv The Queen has never neglected tiiose whom the I rince honored with his regard and thus it come about that the merits of Dr Benson received signal recognition from the leaders of the two great political parties Dr. Benson was the descendant of a good old lorkshire iamiiy. but his father migrated to Birmingham, where he engaged in business. Mr. White Benson, the Primate s father, was a clever man, with a taste for natural science and for literarv pursuits. He dabbled a good deal in chemistry, and turned hi studies in that direction to account in his business. Dr. Benson's early surroundings were somewhat austere and gloomy, and he himself stated while passing a warm eulogy unon the moral effect of the writings of "eminent authors of fiction, that he was brought up among people who considered novel reading highly deleterious, if not sinful, and asked ominously such questions as. "'V.'ould you like to read a novel upon your deathbed?" But though deorecating these puritanical views, it In probable that Dr. Benson did not suffer any restraint from them as u more frivolous and boyish nature

might have done. From a lad the bent of his mind was Inclined to serious things; he alwavs loved church going and religious observances, and might almost be called a born ecclesiastic. No tradition of the Primate lingers at Cambridge University, where he proceeded with Dr. Lightfoot after leaving Birmingham school. He took a good mathematical place, was senior (classical) Chancellor's medallist, and, like Dr. Lightfoot and Dr. Wescott. became a fellow of Trinity College. But he made no particular mark at the University. It was there he made, the acquaintance of . his wife, who was his second cousin. He was appointed head master of Wellington College in 1S58. the year before his marriage. Fourteen years afterward, when he resigned his post, he quoted prophetically of his successor the proud boast of Augustus, that for a citv of bricks which he inherited, he had just left one of marble. Hi might justly have applied the quotationto himself, for when he went to Wellington the, school consisted of little more than bare walls, situate in a desolate neighborhood and containing about fourteen nupils. But he brought to bear upon the work he had undertaken such extraordinary enegry, enthusiasm and determination that he triumphed over every kind of obstacle, and made Wellington College what it is to-day. Dr. Benson appeared to possess many qualifications which fitted him for the important post of archbishop. He was a masterful man. full of almost passionate energv, with a singular power of enforcing discinline and obedience. He displayed tact and discretion on ordinary occasions, with pleasing manners and shrewd common sense. Though inclined to be a high churchman himself, he was broad and tolerant, regarding the views of others, and was totally devoid of bigotry and narrowmindedness. He was seen at his best on state and ceremonious occasions. The dangerous element in his character was a quick temoer, which flashed out when he was roused to virtuous indignation. He could not be patient with a deliberate wrongdoer, but poured upon him the vials of his wrath. His anger was volcanic, and though it was shortlived and soon passed away, it was tierce and overwhelming while it lasted. He was carried away in the whirlwind of his passion to give utterance to his sentiments with outspoken directness. - In private life Dr. Benson was genial and humorous, and an interesting and amusing companion, full of briskness, energy and "go." He was an excellent mimic, and alwavs particularly enjoyed coaching the Wellington boys for the speech day recitations, frequently showing by oractical illustrations how a humorous or comic part could be rendered. He took a great interest in literature of all kinds, n-.usic and natural history, and always encouraged games and ' athletic exercises. He- was rather short than tall. His features were regular, but large and stroiigly marked. gJviri? the impression of great power. He vat clean shaven, wore his hair somewhat long, and had a keen, penetrat'ng look nbcu: the eyes which remimbd one of Charles Kingsley. He had Iiv children three sons and two daughters. Hi-? wife is an amicable and highly accomplished lady. OTHER DEATHS.

To th Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The Journal has done its, readers and its party a common service in printing Mr. Bryan's speeches as fully and as fairly as it has. No man of average intelligence can afford to make up his mind upon a vital political -issue like the present currency problem without giving a hearing to both sides of the controversy. A party paper that disregards its obligation to be a newspaper as well, dfsgusts" its readers and weakens their confidence in the soundness of the views it fears to submit to the test of comparison with the views of an opponent. The spee'ehes of Mr. Bryan may well be regarded as the strongest and most elaborate presentation of its new creed which the Populist-Democratic combine has to offer. It is a mistake to underrate an antagonist, and it Would be, worse than futile to deny to Mr.' Bryan rare skill in presenting a wholly vicious cause attractively under the most trying conditions. Take, for examine, his Indianapolis speeches, made after, weeks of daily presentations of the same subject to audiences in a dozen different States. They wTcre entirely destitute of rational argument, It is true. They assumed everything that should have been proven,, and appealed to the prejudices of his auditors instead of their understanding; but these omissions only evinced the remarkable ability of the orator for avoiding dangerous ground. If he had undertaken to prove that the gold standard was a curse to the country, that free coinage of silver was a rational remedy, he would Inevitably have made a weak. Ineffective speech. Instead he virtually assumed that his audience conceded these two vital propositions, and tickled his hearers with caustic and yet not ungentlemanlike satire of opponents and bunkers, a topic sure to enlist the sympathy and attention of the crowd. In all the political controversies of the past forty years there' has never been a time when any party has been in such pressing need as the Democratic party now is of a candidate who knew how to abstain from serious argument and how to appeal most skillfully and attractively to the passions and prejudices that are often more potent in determining votes than convictions. Tn giving such large space to the most insidious and most powerful presentation of this now Democracy the Journal has given those of its readers who care to be fully Informed the best possible opportunity for judging of the utter futility and baselessness of a doctrine whose ablest exponent avoids argument as his weakest weapon of attack, confronts the overwhelming tide of history and experience with evidence of the inconsistency of opponents, and appeals to the cupidity and unsatisfied cravings of human nature. If Ihe highest oralo ical ab'llty can do no rro e in defense of a policy that involves certain national dishonor, what stronger proof can we ask of its utter un worthiness? Kingston, Ind., Oct. 10. J. Q. D. The German-Ameriean Retracts. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: In an issue of the Journal immediately following the publication cf the Building arid Loan Commission's report the undersigned stated that an error of J47.000 had been made in the credits of earnings given to the Gorman-American Building Associa. tion. this amount being the difference be tween the earnings apportioned on stock and the amount of earnings received during the fiscal year endb.g June 30. lSo, not including, however, any earnings beyond the receipts ofinterest. premiums and fines. This statement does the commission an injustice, and we wish to recall It. In an Interview with members of the commission the undersigned learned that the eommtes'on's report was based upon the compiled and printed report of the State Auditor and that, owing to the condensed form of the said Auditor's report and the necessary lack of detail therein given because of its voluminousness the commission was unable to know the various items which were contained under the limited number of heads -of receipts ar.d disbursement" es-pec-ially the items grouped under the head of "Miscellaneous." We can see how both the commission and the Auditor fc-im-l di'ttculty.ln arriving at an entirely satisfactory classification cf the items appearing on the. different associations' reports due to Heir diveisity ard the waat of precirw.s given the items in the individual assocla, lion's reports. . The commission's report gives our association credit for having about VJ.000 less earnings than we really have and a like amount of expenses in excess of the actual facts for that year alt of w hi' h ran be explained by raso'r s above referred to. The German-American wi classed among the expense-fund associations, while since Dec. 01. 1S4. it has Wen a. nonexiense-fund ?i.ssociatlon. This mistake occurred because our expense fund was abolished in the middle of the yeai tcvered by the reports in question. , We desire to r 'Tact our former statement. G. W. BROWV.

A Boom in the Floor Market. In these depressed times anything in the way of improvement is gratifying to note. Since wheat began to advance there has been a steady advance in the price of flour and the bakers who use hundreds of barrels a week find it no small item in the increase of their operating expenses, as today they are paying 70 to 80 cents more a barrel for flour than one month ago. The flouring mills are not running to their full capacity, but have somewhat increased their output. Local bakers are largely supplied from mills at such points as Evansville. Terre Haute and points where the output of a mill is KM) to 150 barrels a day. Xew Line in Cabinet Work. .For years past it has been the custom of local architects, whenever they wanted anything extra in the cabinet line, to send to the cabinet works of some other city.

The Etna Cabinet Company has recently Increased its capacity and Mr. Shockley, president of the company, states that it now has as many orders as It can conveniently handle; one of them consists of furnishing the Indiana National Bank, which proposes to have the largest a-hi 'most elegant banking house in its Interior west of New York.

The r v $ s .v SHE STILL LOVES SAGE BOTH OV THKM IIAVK BKKN BHIXI IMUSO WALLS A LOX TIMB. They Killed nn Inrant Slic Tried to Shield Him nl then Coiivleted Him V Pardon Cane. At the Women's Iieformatoty is IMca Cvt.ningham, " who has uee.-. thfte thiitcen years for the murder of her illegitimate child in Blackford county, and she now has a faint hope that she may be pardoned, too. if her former husband, John W. Sage, succeeds in his efforts to secure a pardon for himself. A petition for Sage's pardon Is being prepared and may be presented to the Governor this week. He was sent to the Northern Prison seven years ago for life for being an accessory to the h.iMder of this child. At his Instance Fiiy.i Cunningham, his sweetheart, drowned her Illegitimate child in LicK creek, neur Hartford City thirteen years ago. Then he married her. At the trial his wife was convicted and sentenced to the women's prison at Indianapolis for life and on her statements that Sage was entirely innocent, of the charges, he escaped trial. Several years afterwards Sage moved to Marion and soon forgot the woman in. prison at Indianapolis. He secured a divorce and became engaged to and married a woman not of the best reputation. On learning of this, Eliza swore that Sage had induced her to commit the crime and told her he would marry her If she put the child out of the way. lie was rearrested and received a life sentence, although he strenuously jlenied his guilt. He has served but seven ers of his sentence. Despite the wrong that Sage has done her, Kliza Cunnlngnam. wearing her life ai.- behind prison l.irs .it use Heformatory. still loves him with fierce intensity. She still clings to the hope that some day he and Sage may both be pardoned and reconciled and pass the rest of their lives In a home of tneir own. fcihe is very haughty in demeanor an. will not talk of the affair. At times she arpears to be morose. The managers of the prison refused to permit a Journal reporter to see her yesterday. Thirteen years ag.V. when she commltltc d the crime for which she is now serving a life sentence, Hartford City was much worked up with excitement over It. For some time previous Sage had been paying a great deal of atttention to the woman, and. according to her story, had wanted to marry her. but would not do so while an illegitimate child, which was not his. was alive. She wanted to bind it out or send it to some orphans' home, but he said that would not do: it must be made away with, or it would eventually turn ur. One day she p-it the little girl Into a sack intending to throw her into Lick creek, but the little blue eyes looked into hers ctuestioningly and the child asked: "What you doln' to do wif m', mima?" The AomanV heart failed her. and tne crime was deferred. Soon after, she claims. Sage one day placed a nitol to the woman's head and exclaimed: "If the child is not disposed of and I can t marry you. I'll see tliat nobody else does." Aroused to frenzy, the woman tooV: her little fclrl walking along the bank of Lick creek and in a secluded spot pushed her in. and the child was drowned. That night Sage and the inhuman mother were married. She had been seen by some children when she committed the crime, however, and was arrested, convicted and sentenced for life. Sage was also arrested, but she claimed he had nothing to do with the crime and he escaped Some years passed and Sage got a divorce. He then prenared to marry aeother woman. The Cunningham woman heard of it und the knowledge made her wild to thwart the nu n's plans. The I! i-;f..J canity smwl jury learned that he knew more of the crime than she had told on the stand and she was summoned before that body. She then told her story completely, implicating Sage, and he was arrested and sentenced for life. He secured another trial and got the same sentence. Three months after the woman wai arrested whe frsve birth to Sage's child while in jail. This ciild Is now living with the woman's mother neir Hartford City.
