OBITUARY. John Zimmerman, son of Henry and Catherine Zimmerman, §Was born in Petersburg, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. August 1-5, 1840, and died at Rensselaer, Ind., July 17, 1910. His age was 69 years, 11 months and 2 days. He was married to Elizabeth Cline at Medway, Clarke county, Ohio, in Feb. 1865. To them were born five children, three sons and two daughters, Cora, Henry, Bion, Jay, and Mattie, who died in childhood. After marriage he lived in Medway, Ohio, for a year, when he returned to Pennsylvania, living at his old home a year. He then came with his wife again into Ohio where they remained for three years, when they came to Dayton, Ind. In November, 1871, they came to Rensselaer which continued to be his home until the time of his death, having been a resident here for 38 years. , His father was a brushmaker, which trade he learned and followed for a time. After the close of the war he learned tailoring, which occupation he followed the remainder of his life. When the war broke out he answered the call of his country and enlisted in the 9th Pa., Cavalry in April. 1861, and served until the close of .the war. Mr. Zimmerman was not a member of any organization whatsoever. His parents were Dunkards and his preferences were for this religious society had he united with any. It may be said for Mr. Zimmerman that he was honest and industrious. His business was of first importance to him and was never neglected. He was careful to. live in his means and paid promptly his honest debts. He was tempo rate in hie habits, neat and cleanly in person and coveted the friendship of all. He had been in poor health for some time, though he was able to attend to business until on Tuesday, June 28, when he was stricken with paralysis. From this he rallied, but on Sunday, July 10, he grew' wors*-, having a second stroke. As a result of this he passed into a semi-con-scious state from which he never rallied, passing gently away at 10 o'clock on Sunday, July 17. •Mr. Zimmerman leaves to mourn bis departure a wife, a daughter, three sons, a grandchild, two sisters —‘Mrs, Elias Cline of Indianapolis and Mrs. Mollie Bingham of Medway.

BONILLA FORCES CAPTURE A TOWN

Ceiba Attacked and Taken in Honduras Revolution. SOVERNMENT CENSORS NEWS Warfare Precipitated Prematurely It la Thought by Action .of President Davila—Uprising Set for the 25th Day of July. New Orleans. July 22. —A cablegram from Puerto Barrios, Honduras, announces that the long expected revolution in the interest of the deposed president. Manuel Bonilla, began at Oeiba on the Atlantic coast, when a small party of revolutionists took possession of the town, overpowering the government troops. The greatest excitement ensued throughout the republic in consequence, and martial law was at once proclaimed. The government took steps to prevent the news being circulated, and it is not likely that anything important will come from Honduras until a decisive battle suppresses the revolution or the revolutionists win control. The revolution is considered premature here. A general iising had been arranged for next Mofiday, July 25, when it was to have begun simultaneously at Tryillo and Puerto Barrios, strategic points, thus confusing the government. Gen. O'Kelly Bartia, half Irish, half Latin Ament's n, is leading the revolution at Ceiba. He was himself a candidate for president of Honduras, but gave up liis ambition to join force* with Bonilla. The latter visited Ceiba secretly front Belize, where he is in exile, some weeks ago. and put up the arms and ammunition for the revolution from the steamer ITstein It is believed that the government got wind of the proposed revolution and by its violence and arbitary action forced a premature outbreak. Ex-President Bonilla, in whose interest this new revolution has been started, came to New Orleans some weeks ago for the purpose of holding a general conference of revolutionary leaders. It was the intention at that time to start a revolution, but the then misfortunes of the Estrada government caused Bonilla and his friends to postpone action and they sent their money and sympathy and 1;000 rifles to the Nicaraguan revolutionists.

PRESIDENT RAWN OF MONON IS KILLED

Mystery Shrouds Death of the Railway Chief i Varoius theories exist as to the manner in which Ira G. Rawn, president of Jthe Monon railroad, was killed in his summer home at Winnetka. Members of the family present at the time say he was murdered by a burglar. Otners hold to the burglar theory, believe • k Mr- Rawn may have started down stairs to meet a man, supposed to be in the house, but that instead of being shot by the burglar, he tripped in his night robe and accidentally pulled the trigger of his own revolver as he was falling. A third story, which is presented by members of the family and by subordinate officials of the Monon, was the Mr, Rawn took his own life, being prompted by worry and sleeplesness over scandals which have developed in the last few weeks In the affairs of the Western Indiana road of

which lawn is a director, and of the Illinois Central of which he was vice president in charge of operaton until last fall just shortly before startling charges of graft became known in the official directorate of the Illinois Central road. Mrs. Rawn says she was awakened shortly after 1 o’clock in the morning by a noise as of someone at a door downstairs. She told Mr. Rawn of the noise and he took his revolver, against her protest, and started quietly down the front stairway in his night dress. Mrs. Rawn followed to the head of the stairways. Two shots were fired, she said, and her husband fell moaning down the stairway. Mr. Rawn lived only a few minutes and was unable to explain how he had been shot. An examination of the revolver he carried disclosed that It contained one empty cartridge. No bullet was found to substantiate the firing of a second shot. Members of the family suggested that the burglar also was shot, but not in a vital place. In support of this idea they pointed to spots on a cement walk leading from the house, close examination of which disclosed that they were in all probability paint. The burglar clew is being pursued on the theory that no practiced night prowler is the guilty man. Coroner Hoffman, after examining the night robe and wounds of the dead man. said the shot was fired from a weapon not over twi or three feet away. Powder burns indicated this.This distance does not accord with the version given by family members. Still another clew is that Mr. Rawn was the victim of an enemy who wished to get him out of the way for business reasons. In this connection the Illinois Central scandal is mentioned. Mr. Rawn was operating vice president of that load at the time the tradulent car repair contracts came to light. A short time afterward he left the road and became president of the Monon. Mr. Rawn was to have appeared next Tuesday as a witness in the Illinois Central cases which has twice been postponed at his suggestion. Mr. Rawn also is supposed to have known more than was comfortable for some who are involved In the affairs of the Western Indiana. On the ground that some one feared the revelations Mr. Rawn might make regarding these matters, the business enemy theory is based.

COMMISSION OUTLINES PLAN

Freight Rate Increase Generally Wilt Be Upheld Pending Investigation. The interstate commerce commission, sitting in Washington, has determined upon the course it will pursue toward the recent general advances in freight rates by the railroads of the country. The commission will suspend all rates which in its opinion have been advanced solely for the purpose of increasing revenues of the roads. This will include all the class rates. As to the commodity rates, the commission will make certain distinctions. Rates which have been boosted for the purpose of readjusting schedules between localities and not on a revenue raising basis, will not be suspended. Generally speaking, however the more important schedules of increases will be held up by the commission. pending an investigation into their reasonableness
