GROSVENOR IS DEFEATED.

Veteran Co narre um an. and Party Leader Fails of Renoinlnatlon. The political world received a shock when tho Republican convention of the Eleventh Congressional District of Ohio refused to renominate General Charles II. Grosvenor, known by his long tenure of office as the "Sage of Athoas'' and "Old Statistics." General Grosvenor, who is now serving his tenth term in Congress, Is one of the floor leaders of the House of Representatives, and while politicians all over the county knew, the veteran had a contest on his hands It was believed he would be returned. As tb? district is normally Republican by 10,000 the nomination is considered equivalent to election. General Grosvenor belongs to the old school of politicians. He was born in 1S33 and came out of the Rebellion a brevet brigadier general of volunteers, ne practiced law, but politics has been his profession for twenty years, and he soon made a wide reputation as one of the most forceful speakers in the list of Republican spellbinders. During the two McKinley campaigns General Grosvenor made a hit by predicting Republican success, naming the States the party would carry and guessing the respective pluralities. These feats won him the nickname "Old Statistics." In Congress he is called the "Sage of Athens," as his home Is at Athens, O. General Grosvenor was elected to Congress first ir. 1SS4 and has served continuously sin?e then, with the ex-' ception of 'the Fifty-second Congress, being defeated In 1892 when the Democrats swept the country and elected G rover Cleveland. Ills long scries made him a power at Washington and with Speaker Cannon, Payne of New York, Dalzell of Pennsylvania and Hepburn of Iowa he is considered one of the wheel horses of the Republican organization. General Grosvenor was a delegate at large to the national conventions of 1S9G and 1900. He is chairman of the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries. Mr. Douglas, who beat General Grosvenor, is a lawyer, 53 years old, dad a good orator. He has dominated the politics of Ross County for years.

In 189G he was a presidential elector on the McKinley ticket Mr. Douglas is a graduate of Kenyon College, class of 1872, and of the Harvard Law School. OHIO RULER A PHYSICAL WRECK Physician Testifies Pattison Cannot Attend to Basiness. In habeas corpus proceedings in the Common Tleas Court at Columbus, Ohio the other day Dr. E. J. Wilson, the attending physician, testified that Governor Pattison, because of his bodily illness, is incapable of sustained attention to any subject. To a question put a moment later, he said that the Governor was sane, but that he was so weakened in brain and body that he could not give to any subject continued thought It Is said ou tbc best authority that the family of the Governor is anxious that be resign and devote hirjself to seeking health. The testimony of the Governor's physician created a profund sensation, and in every place where public men are congregated is the whole subject of conversation. The testimony that he Is incapable of sustained thought la of grave consequence to the people, and there Is universal fear that the newly elected executive may never be able co carry out his plans of government. R I DER'S TUBULAR BOAT. Motor Which Max DrlTe Steuatshlps 150 Miles an Ilonr. Herbert E. Rider, the well-known inventor, who was identified with the prevailing underground trolley system, recently has perfected the model of a boat motor which he believes will eventually drive steamships at the rate of 100 or 150 miles an hour. This new motor consists of a pipe running through the vessel lengthwise below the water line and open at both ends. Attached to the pipe about one-third from the after end is a cylinder of the same diameter as the pipe and about three times as long. The bottom of this cylinder is attached to the main pipe by a pipe curving toward the stern. The cylinder, in operation, is charged with gas vaporized from kerosene. When exploded by a sparker the force is exerted through the pipe at the stern of the boat, giving a tremendous kick, at the same time causing a vacuum at the forward end of the main pipe into which the water rushes. This results in what the inventor calls a continuous water cable. An 18-foot model of a boat is to be exhibited at the Sportsman's show. It has three cylinders, two for driving and one for reversing. The explosions can be regulated as in an automobile. A Garaare in Every Flat. The latest scheme for making apartment houses attractive to wealthy residents of Chicago has ju?t been announced by the Aermotor Company. The projected structure is seven stories high, with an elevator capable of lifting the largest automobile and its occupants to any floor. On each floor Is a large garage and quarters for the chauffeur and sen ants. Joseph M. Hastings, the Pittsburg contractor driven to the wall by the fiilure of the Enterprise Nations! bank of Allegheny, died in a sanitarium at Summit, N. J.

FATHER GAPON IS UNMASKED.

Ttevealed na Tool of Rasnian Government Agralnst Revolutionists. St Petersburg dispatches say that through the dis;ipicarance of the journalist, MatushciLsky, the press agent and real brains of the Father Gapon movement, the disclosure has been made that the moderate labor organization, which Gapon established in St. Petersburg after the publication of the imperial manifsto of Oct. CO, 1905, was subsidized by the government. Russian officials supplied the funds for the rent of its clubhouse and literature. Radical circles are elated over the revelation, which was made In an open letter by the president of the Putlloff section of the organization, complaining that $12,000 of the funds furnished through M. Timlriazeff, until recently minister of commerce, had not reached the treasury. The socialists claim that this spells the downfall of the conservative opposition to the full revolutionary program among the workmen. It is now shown that Gapon really played a minor role In the formidable movement of January, 1905, and that Matushensky was the director of the campaign which mystified both the police and the old-time revolutionists. Matushensky was the author of the great petition with which the workingmen were marching to the winter palace on Red Sunday, Jan. 22. 1905, to present to the emperor when the troops fired on them. A curious commentary on the conditions prevailing Is the cabinet's action In opening clubhouses, for which the government furnished the money, when up to the present Interior Minister FATHER GAFOSr. Durnovo has not permitted assemblies of conservative workmen, which are dispersed as rigorously as those of the socialists. PLAN DIVORCE STRINGENCY. Conference Wants Tvro-Year Limit fn Place of Residence. Divorce colonies were given a severe Jolt by the congress on uniform divorce laws in Washington, which decided by a considerable majority that not less than two years residence should be required of a plaintiff who has changed his or her State domicile since the cause of divorce arose. Another resolution reported by the committee on resolutions, which was adopted after a warm discussion, provides: "An innocent and injured party, husband or wife, seeding a divorce should not be compelled to ask for a dissolution of the bonds of matrimony, but should be allowed, at his or her option, to apply for divorce from bed and board. Thereford divorces a mensa should be retained where already existing and provided for in States where no such rights exist" The congress also expressed itself in favor of hearing all divorce cases in open court and not before any delegated representative, holding that publicity would tend to do away with collusion and to decrease the number of suits. Other resolutions adopted provide for the classification of causes for divorce into groups that would be accepted by the several States; declare that when conviction for crime is made a cause for divorce it should involve two years' continuous imprisonment; that no decree should be given for insanity arising after marriage, nor for desertion unless persisted in for two years: that defendants in suits should be given full and fair notice, and that anyone named as a co-respondent should in all cases be given an opportunity to intervene.

JOHN HOCH IS HANGED !

NOTORIOUS CRIMINAL MEETS FATE DEFIANTLY. All the Delays of the Law Are Resorted To, and Prisoner's Hope Lasts Till Noose Is Fixed -- Some Hoch History. Johann Hoch, bigamist, robber and poisoner of women, paid the penalty of his crimes, when he was hanged in Chicago Friday. His neck was broken by the fall. Hoch hoped for a reprieve to the last and resigned himself to his fate only when the hangman's noose tightened about his neck. A crowd surpassing any gathering at JOHANN HOCH. an execution In Chicago since the anarchists were hanged in 1887, and as large as that of 1887, surrounded the jail. It numbered thousands. Curiosity to see what they could of the incidents surrounding Hoch's last moments attracted the crowd. The crowds openly gambled on Hoch's fate, many believing with the condemned man that he would again escape the noose. A final effort almost without precedent in Illinois was made in Hoch's behalf a few hours before the time set for the execution. A petition was filed in the United States Circuit Court by Hoch's attorneys, asking that the Federal court interfere to save the condemned man. The petition stated the State authorities were endeavoring to execute Hoch in violation of the fourteenth amendment of the constitution, without due process of law. This move served only to delay the execution. It was the last act in the desperate legal fight, waged by Hoch and his attorneys to secure a new trial or a pardon, which resulted in placing Hoch three times in the shadow of the gallows instead of once, and extending his life eight months. Hoch's Life a Mystery. Mystery that has defied all past efforts to solve surround the early life of Johann Hoch. He is believed to have been born in Horweiller-Bingen-on-the-Rhine, Germany, in 1863. When he grew into manhood he left his native town and returned in three years, marrying Mrs. Joseph Huff. He was first indicted for fraud in connection with a petition in bankruptcy which he filed. Hoch fled to a distant village, where he is said to have married again, but after securing the second wife's fortune he fled to America in 1895. He lived three months in New York and went under the name of Joseph Huff. Then he went to Wheeling, W. Va., where he married a widow who owned a saloon. In one month she was dead and Hoch had two saloons. An inquiry followed her death and Hoch fled after leaving his clothes on the banks of the Ohio river, to them attached a note stating that he had committed suicide. The same year he came to Chicago and opened a saloon, where he met Bruno Leckner and was introduced to Mrs. Martha Steinbrecher, whom he married. Thirty days after she died. Then followed roamings all over the country, in which he is said to have married numerous women in various cities. He was in and out of Chicago much of the time, and in Cincinnati he married Mrs. Mary Bartels. When she died a month after the funeral was turned into a feast by Hoch. He left Cincinnati without paying the funeral expenses. Ire returned to Chicago and was convicted in Judge Baker's court of selling mortgaged furniture. In 1897 he was sent to the house of correction for that offense and served one year. For two or three years he worked in the Pullman car works. The beginning of the end came when he married Marie Walcker, a widow. She answered a matrimonial advertisement in a German newspaper. She conducted a small candy factory, but disposed of it at the request of Hoch, who induced her to give him the proceeds of the sale. With her death followed his marriage to her sister, Mrs. Fischer-Hoch, and his subsequent disappearance and, exposure. Hoch's downfall began with his departure from Chicago with $700 that belonged to his last wife, Mrs. Fischer-Hoch. She was married to him the day after his former wife, her sister, died. He left her early in January, and the investigation followed that led to Hoch's arrest in New York. Hoch was placed on trial in Chicago April 19, 1905, for the murder of Marie Walcker-Hoch and was found guilty May 19. The jury was out thirty minutes. Short News Notes.
