iosTwiri® 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.

There is but one sur. way out, and that is to eliminate th. taint from the blood.

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.
