SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE.
Givzn in Ths Sorrsll Divorce Case
Bung Tribd at Millersburg O.
Millersburg, O-, March 19, —The
Gorrell diovree is the sensation ®f the
whole community north of here and
of the town. There are nearly one
bandied witnesse on hand*
Mrs, Lowther, the wife of Adam
Lowther, the man who is named 8
correspondent in the husbanl’s peti
tion, testified that she had taken her
husband away from the Gorrell hou e
two or three times, and that she had
fouad a photograph ot the Gorrell
children hidden in his stable ia this
place,
The next important witness was
Iverly Bouer, who lives near the
Gorrell residence. He gave seeming
ly straightforward testimony, about
repeated meetings between Lowther
and Mrs. Gorrell. He raised a big
sensatioa when he stated that at one
time Mrs. Gorrell asked him whose
child hoi* youngest was, naming it.
He said: “I don’t know, but I
know who it looks like.” She said;
“It’s Lowther’s; ain’t it too bad?”
The Bouer evidence is the kind that
the wife’s attorneys *re seeking to
break down, but he sustained him
self well on cross examination.
A SWARM OF SNAKES.
Ou Monday morning last, two
naee near McPhersons, were mov
ing an old fence, which had been
plaeod there shortly afteJ the war,
when one of them saw a snake
t run into a pile of brush. He ran up
to kill it, when one hundred snakes
got after him.
The other man got a stick and
tried to keep them off of him, but
! failed to do so. By frailing them
! considerably with sticks, finally
indacod them ,to go back into the
brush, The brush was then fired,
aid theiaen armed with stout
sticks took their stands on opposite
sides of the brush to await the
outpouring of snakes.
And as snakes came out tho men
succeeded in killing all but three
and these were seriously, and per
haps fatally, wounded. This thrill
ing encounter was witnessed by Ab
Snodgraßß and another fellow of
outlandish name. —Paulden New

Brother Spinks should feel

She earned a large number o f

work of dragging had been thor

A oouple of long ferry boats
were bound together, pontoon
fashion, and with drags attached,
two or three feet apart and men
well arranged along the up stream
“gunale” the boats were permitted
to drift down the river, amid
stream. Numbers of well manned
small boat* covered all space not
raked by the ferry boat drags.
But all to no purpose, and at 8
o’clock the drage were abandoned
and a number of men pitched their
ten s on the lower river and wont
into camps to await the rising of
the body.

PRINCIPAL KEEPER JONES
Made a Little Trip nF his own te the
Ureas Lumber Camp Last Sunday
And has a ffosl to say About Lux,
nry’s Lap,*’
The following interesting item up
peared ia this mornings Constitu
tion :
There have come at various and
numerous times and divers and dif
ferent sources, stories from "Gress's
•amp which have told tales of luxu
ry's lap and the ease of idleness in
the mist of convict stripes and state
criminals.
In the main these stories have been
applied t< (Harry Hill and Lord
Beresford. It has been intimated that
that they had an elegantly exclusive
convict society of their own, and that
each one of them had not only a val
et, but a negro who did for
t! em; that they had a negro to do ah
their cooking, and that they did
not wear the stripes of felons, but
continued to use citizens clothes and
carry a “handstick/*
All these stories have been very
agravafing not only to Air. G. "V.
Gress, but to Colonel Jones the prin
cipal keeper of the penetentiary. Mr.
Gress laughed at the stories, but
they worried him Colonel Junes
hardly credited then l , but thought
that a investigation might have the
result of setting all doubts at rest.
So it was that the principal keeper
of the penitentiary quietly took a
trip down the country and on Sun
day morning stepped info Gress's
•amp all unannounced and entirely
unexpected. He intended that he
should not be anticipated. Though be
found nothing amiss, the c*lonel
spent a pleasant day and left satisfied
that Harry Hill and Lord Beresford
received the same treatment ac
corded any other man who happen
ed to be so unfortunate as to be
placed in such surroundings.
When Colonel Jones stepped in
to the house occupied by Harry
Hill and Lord Beresford, he fouud
Harry Hill lying back in a chair
and a n p gro couv-ct barber at woik
on a week’s growth of a beard.
Lord Beresford, so it is said, triea
to get Harry to turn out his chin
whiskers and have them cut point
ed, but Harry has declared that
he is foreign enough in convict
stripes without making matters
worse.
As Colonel Jones entered, Lord
Beresford, who was sitting down
in a corner in his shirt sleeves,
aioseand put on his coat as a
mark of deference and politeness,
such as my lord can assume with
peculiar grace and ease, Both
Harry Hill and Lord Beresford
wore stripes, and Lord Beresford
had on the shackles which were
put on him as a mark of punish
ment for his little escapade in
Americus.
Harry Hill told Colonel Jones
that he was working hard, and
that he had a good appetite and
ate just what others did, save that
he had money with which to pur
chase such delicacies as eggs
Harry’s complexion is better, and
his skin looks healthier, despite
the fact that his hands and face
are sunburned from the exposure
that is the natual result of the
work he is put at, Although be is
atill piling lumber. Harry manages
to put in extra time at one of tho
engines, He is very ambitious, and
wants to learn how to ran a eta .
tionary engine. He t*ld Colonel
Jones that he wanted to be the
engineer in a short while, and
that he knew that he had a great
deal to learn as yet.
Beresford was very eommunicative
als<, to the colonel, and said he was
getting along finely. He spoke about
his shackles and said that he was
thoroughly ashamed that he had con
dueled himself in the manner that the
shackles indicated th’thj inert have
•neo done, He said he was trying to
act better and that he hoped to have
them off in a short while*
And it is very likely that they will
be removed before the end of the
week. Colonel Jones stated to the,
authorities at the camp that he had
no objections to the removal of the
shaek.'es, especially since the report
of his behavior was a good onr. No
extra privileges are accorded Hill
and Beresford, and Colonel Jones is
pleased with the wij* hr found •»erv
t’uing on his trip.

PETER JACKSON WILLING.
HB WARTS TO MBKT COBJCTT IV TIU
RING AGAIN.
Bt. L >uis, March, 19. —The spert
ing editor of the Star last night
received an autograph letter from
Peter Jackson the Australian col
ored heavy-weight pugilist, who
wishes to set himself right with
the public concerning the Corbett
challenge,
“I see that Mr. Brady, Corbett’s
manager, says that our side has
made so effort to find a place fo r
us to meet?’ says Jackson. “Hs
is mistaken. I know that Mr.
Davis has left the company on
a veral occasions for the purpose
of negotiating with gentlemen who
have offered to give a puree for
the me .’’ .ig of Corbett and my
self ,
My manager informs me that
Mr. Brady will not listen to rea
sonable propositions: that be
wants some club to pat up $45,000
and then put all the money in a
bank, to be forfeited in case the
battle does not occur. I djos’t be
lieve any elub in the world would
do anything ®f the kind.
“Now, so far as the date is con
cerned . I am uot particular wheth
er it be in June or July, but I
would like to have it fixed.
The only thing I am afraid of is
that Mr. Brady will spring techni
eal points to prevent the coming
logether of Mr, Corbett and myself
It would be the happiest moment
of my leis if 1 were afforded an op
portunity to get into a ring with
him
Recoleof, I don’t say that I can
beat the pompadour gentleman—
merely that I am willing to try. I
never challenged John L. when he
was the champion, nor have I
challenged Mr. Corbett; but. I
think Corbett challenged, me and
I accepted, that he would bring
about a match. All the things
toat have been printed about my
being siok are untrue. I never felt
better in my life.”
A BOY’S NARROW ESCAPE.
Hlu FATHER F3UND HIM SWIIGING
FROM A LIMB, NEARLY DEAD,
Lexington, Ky,. March 18.—A
couple of youths had a miniature
lynching bee here last night- Mr.
John Parrott, who lives at Forest
Hill, fouud his 12-year-old eon
dangling from the limb of a tree
swinging to a rope which encir
cled his neck.
Blood was gushing from the
boys nostrils and ears and he was
in a dead faint. Tho father cut
the rope’ and by applying restora
tives soon had his son in a con
scious state. The boy said that
two companions, one of whom was
Dan Slavin, became enraged at
him for some triffliug occurence
and procured a rope and, after
fastening a n -ose on it, placed it
around hie ueckj
They then threw tho rope over a
tree and yanked him up in real
lynching style. The rope was tied
to the trunk of the tree and the
buy left hanging. Mr. Parrott pro
i cured warrants for the boys' ar
rest.
