Nrs. President McKinley’s
Brother
SHOT SY A WOMAN
Jealous Os A Widow, She Shot
Saxton To Death.
Canton 0., Oct B.—George D.
Saxton, a brother of Mrs. McKin
ley. was shot dead at 6:10 o’clock
last evening in front of the resi
dence of Mrs. Eva B. Althouse,
widow of the late George Althouse.
No. 319 Lincoln a\enue, where he
is presumed to have gone to make
a call. Five shots were fired, three
of which entered his body, and
Mrs. Anna C. George has been
placed under arrest on suspicion
of being the murderess,
Saxton was unconscious when
neighbors arrived and began in
vestigating the cause of the shoot
ing, and was dead when the phy
sicians and officers arrived.
The physicians have expressed
the opinion that death was instan
taneous. three bullets having en
tered vital spot. The position of
the body indicated that he had
been on the steps of the Althouse
resid* nee when the shots were fired,
The body was taken.to an under
taking room and placed in charge
of the coroner. Immediately after
the autopsy it will betaken to the
home of M, C. Barber, a brother
in-law, where Saxton, who was
unmarried, made his home.
Mrs. Saxton left the Barber home
about 6 o’clock, rid'ng his bicycle,
and this was the last seen of him
by his friends. The Althouse home
was dark and locked and the neigh
bors said Mrs. Althouse bad not
been at home for the past three
days. One of the neighbors said a
woman supposed to have done the
shooting passed back of the house.
Mr. George took her supper as
usual at a downtown restaurant,
and some time later was on a west
bound ear, and, according to the
motorman’s story, got of! at Haz
lett avenue, near the Althouse
home. About 9 o’clock she was ar
rested by the police officers and
locked up. Trouble in locating her
was due principally to the fact
that she moved from her old home
yesterday.
Mrs. George is the divorced wife
of Sample C. George, who former
ly was a tenant of Saxton’s in his
downtown business block, con
ducting a dress making business.
Her divorce was obtained in
Dakota and a proceeding later
tiled in local courts by the hus
band against Sixton, charging
that Saxton had sent her there to
secure the divorce, the proceeding
here being a suit for damages for
the alleged alienation of the wife’s
affec'ion.
This cate has been through a 1
the intermediate courts, and was
passed upon by the state supreme
court on an interpleading and
finally remanded for bearing on
its merits here. Before this occur -
red, and on Wednesday, a settle
ment was effected, Saxtcn paying
George 11,825 on the claim set up
of $20,000 for damages.
Mrs. George has also had sevtral
cases against Saxton, claiming the
detention of furniture, the defense
of Saxton being that the articles
were held far overdue rent in the
rooms.
Mrs. Althouse, in front of whose
house the shooting occurred, sev
eral months ago began peace pro
ceedings against Mrs. George al
leging* that her life had been
threatened.
It is common talk that Mrs.
George made frequent threats of
taking Saxton’s life. Many of these
threats were sent through the
mails, and the federal grand jury,
sitting io Cleveland last fall, in
dicted her for alleged improper
use of the mails. Mrs .George gave
bond in this case, and the indict
ment so far as is known here, is
SCROFULA
It is Foul Blood’s Advertise
ment
But It la Soon Cured by Hood’s
Sarsaparilla.
Yu, Scrofula, if anything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. It is the
•courge of the world offensive, paLlul,
debilitating, stubborn and well n’yi
■nondurable.
Outward applications do not cure, the}
only drive the dilllculty to now quarter.
Emollients may palliate, they canuo.
abolish the evil. There is but one sur.
way out, and that is to eliminate th.
taint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect title
and It la the only one that, so far aa w
know, has almost invariably succeeded -
•ven where the system has been poiaonei
by long years of taint and the ravages U
be repaired are tremendous. That remed}
la Hood’s Horsaparllla. Read this:
“ My daughter wm (till ic ted with im
pure blood. There were running acret
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see t hat they did any good.
A friend told me about Hood’s Sarsapa
rilla and I began giving the girl this med
(cine. The result was that she was per
fectly cured after taking a few bottlea.
She has had no symptoms of scrofula
•ores since that time. ’ MARIETTA M.

Simple C. George, the husband
is now reported to have laen mar
riad to a second wife for more than
a year and the marriage aas kept
secret until after the settlement
with Saxton. As soon as George
got his damage money he an
nounced his marriage. Mrs Geo.’ir
claims Saxton deceived her and
deserted her for another.

ODE TO COMMAND.
Will Carry Hie First Expedi
tion to Cilba.
GENERAL FITZHUGH LEE
Will Follow, Leading the Sec.
ond Army.
Washington, Oct. B.— The
war department has completed
its plans of the departure of the
second expedition of troops to
garrison Cuba. The first divis
ion is already under orders and
should be started with’n a very
few days from the Southern
ports near their camping
grounds.
The First division starts un
der command of Brigadier Gen’l
L. H. Carpenter, U. S. V., who
commands the cavalry brigade
composed of the Seventh and
Eighth United States cavalry
He will hold his command of
the entire division simply by
reason of his senority over Brig
adier General Snyder and
Brigadier General Williston and
in the end a permanent desig
nation must be made of a di
vision commander.
It is the intention of the war
department that Major General
Wade, now president of the
military evacuation commission,
shall command the entire force
of United States troops assigned
to duty in Cuba, but he will
scarcely take active command
until he has completed his du
ties m ith tne commission.
The Second division will
comprise all the troops now
under tha command of Maj or
General Fitzhugh Lee. These
troops are stationed at Jackson
ville, and the force comprises
the following regiments—all
volunteer troops:
The Second, Fourth and Ninth
Illinois infantry. One Hundred
and Sixty-first Indiana infan
try, Second Louisiana infantry,
Sixth Missouri infantry, Third
Nebraska infantry, (Bryan’s
an’s rigiment), First North Car
olina infantry, Second South
Carolina infantry, First Texas
Infantry, Fourth Virginia in
fantry and the Second United
States volunteer battery.
The general orders, which
will be issued to this division,
are to begin the movement the
last of this month or as soon
thereafter as practicable.
The indications are that the
troops will be sent, not in a
body, but in small regimental
and brigade commands, and
that these will be landed first on
the western coast ’and perhaps
in part of the south, probably at
Batabano.
The animating purpose is to
reduce the chances of hostile
clashing between the retiring
Spanish troops and the incom
ing American forces, by keep
ing back the latter until the
Spaniards have been deported.
About the time the movement
of the Lee command begins, an
other movement will take place
of troops now in the middle
states toward the southern
camps, which have been selected
by the Schwan board, lying in
Georgia, South Carolina and
Alabama.
This will result in the aban
donment of the camps at Middle
town, Pa.; Lexington, Ky., and
Knoxville, Tenn. The southern
camps are to be laid odt .in the
best form, with all the improve
ments that the experience of the
last summer has dictated. Where
ever permanent buildings will
conduce to the comfort and

health of troops they are to be
erected, although the command
ing officers are to keep in
mind at all times the propriety
of avoiding enervation of the
men by keeping them too closely
in doors and away from camp
life.

fl CELESTIAL HORROR
An Awful Conflagration at Han
kow, China.
L n lon, Oct. 8. —A special
dispatch from Shanghai says
that fire Sunday destroyed over
• a square mile of the city of Hnn-
I kow. It is feared that 1,000
lives are lost.
Hankow is a treaty port on
the Yang Tse Kiang, at the
mouth of one of its tributaries,
700 miles from the sea. The city
forms, with Han Hang and Woo
Chang, the capital of Hoo Poo,
all in sight of one another, and
separated only by the river, one
of the greatest commercial cen
ters in the world.
Hue estimates their united
population as 8,000,000, but
they suffered much in the Pao
Ping wars. Hankow is one
terminus of the proposed Peking-
Hankow railway.
