Findlay, 0., Oct, 12—When the trial bt the Standard Oil company of Ohio tor conspiracy against trade was re- sumed counsel for the defense re- sumed their fight against the admis- sion of the certificate showing the eharacter of the Standard Oil company erganization in New Jersey. The certificate which the prosecu- tion sought to place before the jury Is a transcript of the record in the sec- retary of state’s office of New Jersey and shows that in 1892 the company Increased its board of directors from three to nine. This, it was claimed by the prosecution, was done that Mr. Rockefeller and his nine colleagues on the board of directors in the Standard 0il trust might be elected on the New Jersey board. After an hour and a half Judge Judge Banker overruled the objection of attorneys for the defense and ad- mitted as evidence the New Jersey cer- tificate showing the increase in the directors in the Standard of that state. The prosecution next offered in evi- dence the amendments to the charter of the New Jersey company made June 16, 1809, whereby its capital was in- oreased to $110,000,000 and authority glven it to purchase the stock of other corporations, thus creating it a hold- ing company. CHURCH Gruesome Discovery Under M. & I. Tracks Supposed to Be Remains of Indian. Considerable excitement has been created by the finding of a human skeleton at the point where the excavation was made under the M. & I. railway tracks for the outlet of the sewer into the river. The workmen were excavating when one of them unearthed the uncanny bones that had evident- ly been buried for many years. The skeleton was complete, ex- cept a portion of the lower jiw, and it is presumed the bones are those of an Indian, and it is known that there was an Indian burial ground, years ago, on the shore of Lake Bemidji, near where the skeleton was found. The finding of moose bones and the tooth of a bear lend to the Indian theory, as the Indians of the olden times always placed rations in the graves of their dead that they might have sus- tenance during their long trip to the “happy hunting ground.” M. D. Stoner. city engineer, states that he found five skeletons when the M. & I railway was built along the shore, 81X years ago. Some of the employes who worked on the sewer are em- phatic in expressing their beliet that the remains are those of a white man and are insisting on holding a wake over the bones tomorrow evening. ISSUE Liberal Government to Cross Swords With the Vatican. Madrid, Oct. 12—Upon the reassem- bling of the cortes Oct. 20 the Vatican and the Liberal government of Mar- shal Lopez Dominguez will cross swords over the church issue. While the actual question of the separation of church and state in Spain, the stronghold of Catholicism, is not to be immedlately raised as in France, the democratic programme of the Liberals is distinctively anti-clerical and if it progresses successfully is sure to ul- timately lead to an open fight for the severance of the ties which bind the Vatican and the Bourbon dynasty.

EX- PECTED TO DELAY DEVEL. OPMENT OF ISLAND. JEFAULTER A FRIEND OF GOMEZ BTOLEN FUNDS MAY HAVE BEEN UBED TO PRQMNCTE THE RE- CENT RECELLION. New York, Oct. 12.—News of the failure of J. M. Ceballcs & Co., with liabilities of from $3,000,000 to $4,000,- 000, was a great surprise to the bank- Ing and commission houses in the the house was regarded as the most aggressive merchant and banker in the Ouban-American trade. Ceballos & Co. spread their vast en- terprises over the West Indies, South America and as far as Spain. Sllveira & Co.,, of which Manuel Silveira, whose alleged defaloation of $1,000,000 caused the failure, has been for many years thelr agent in the Latin-Amer- lean countries. Silveira & Co. were bankers and merchants in Havana and the firm was considered a bulwark of financial responsibility. The two firms were in the van of the big developing com- panies on which Cuba relied for her future prosperity. B Juan M. Ceballos, the head of Ce- ballos & Co., has been for years prom- inently identified with many interna- v‘;mnl enterprises. He has had few ‘all street connections and his house was regarded as not so much a Wall streat concern as a promoter of Latin- American enterprises. The effect of the assignment on local firms is prob- lematical. Blow to Cuban Development. The failure is considered certain to have a damagling effect upon business In Cuba. Among other things it means the abandonment of a comprehensive Cuban raflroad scheme, which contem- plated the construction of an entire ew railroad system reaching all the ‘eballos properties and covering all that large part of the island now with lnadequate transportation facilities.. Manuel Silveira’s firm has had “an excellent standing in Cuba. The firm Is one of “merchant bankers,” the bus- Iness consisting of handling merchan- dise of various sorts instead of secur- ities, like American banking houses. ''The firm is the largest importer of cattle into Cuba, bringing in cattle from Venezuela, Texas and Colombia, and it was on one of his cattle boats, a craft of 2,000 tons burden, that Sil- veira, with his family, left Havana on Oct. 2. On2 of his speculations, in which Mr. Ceballos is sald to have been associated with him, was the pur- chase after the war which freed Cuba from Spaunish control of a large mass of soldiers’ warrants, which he got for little money, but which subsequently were redeemed at par and 6 per cent Interest. He oleared a large sum by this operation. Large Sums of Cash on Hand. As the financial agent of Ceballos & Co. Bilveira’s firm handled money in bulk and often had on hand an excess consisting of more than a million dol- lars. Ceballos & Co. were the business agents for many New York firms and Individuals interested in Cuban pro- jeots and in this business handled large sums of money for their cus- tomers. At the Hotel -America, where Cu- bans and Spaniards make their home, the opinion among all who would ex- press their sentiments was that the expected had happened. They said that Sfiveira had employed Jose Mig- uel Gomez, the Liberal candidate for brought on the recent reyolution, as general administrator of a vast sugar plantation in the province of Puerto Principe. “And the way they spent money on that plantation,” said one, “was amaz- Ing. They spent many thousands of dollars just as if they were building a palace.” The suggestion was made that Sil- veira might have lost a lot of money In promoting the recent revolution. CHANGED BOATS AT SEA. Havana Defaulter No Longer on the Carmelina. New York, Oct. 12.—Manuel Silvei- ra, the defaulting Havana agent for the firm of J. M. Ceballos & Co., is not on board the steamer Carmelina, upon which he left Havana Oct. 2, but on another steamer which he boarded at sea two days after leaving the Cu- ban capital, according to information which was given out here. It is said that the present whereabouts of the Carmelina is known.and that the des- tination of the other steamer, to which Bllveira and his family were trans- Yerred, also is known. .

MAY PROSECUTE ARMOURS, Packers Alleged to Have Sold Doc- tored Meats. Philadelphia, Oct. 12.—Action by the ‘federal authorities against Armour & Co. will be urged by State Dairy and Food Commissioner Warren, who this week caused warrants to be issued for the arrest of several of the company's agents in this city on the charge of exposing for sale hams and other meats containing boric acid.” Assist- ant Dairy and Food Commissioner Oliver D, Schick and N.

WEAVER FIRES ONE MORE DIRECTOR‘ OF PUBLIC WORKS LET OUT BY THE MAYOR OF PHILADELPHIA, Philadelphia, Oct. 12.—At the " re- quest of;-Mayor Weaver Thomas L. Hicks, director of tlie’ department of publicworks, has sent his resignation to the mayor to take effect at once. The cause leading up to the resigna- tion dates back to the City Party con- vention which nominated D. Clarence Gibbonay for the office of district at- torney. The mayor’s candidate was Frederick J. Shever. Three weeks ago the mayor removed Colonel Shel- den Potter, director of the. department of public safety, because that official would 'not dismiss the superintendent of police, who was accused by the mayor of taking a too great interest in Mr. Gibboney’s nomination. In his letter requesting Mr. Hicks' resignation the mayor accuses M Hicks -of being too friendly to a cer- tain political faction and asserts that the director had expressed contempt for the City Party and all reformers. The’ director made a sharp reply in which he said: . “I beg to say that the conclusion you draw regarding my attitude toward the City Party and all reformers can only be construed as a reflection upon your JIntelligence. At the time of dle- tating your letter you must have known your assertions were unwar- ranted"and without justification.” CHARGED WITH MURDER, Young ‘Farmer "Alleged to Have Pro- cured Poison for Sweetheart. Deshler, O., Oct. 12—Orson Broka, a youing farmer, has been arrested on a warrant charging him with murder in the first degree.

The charge of murder was not changed. The trouble is said to have arisen over the objections of the parents of the couple to the match. FATHER'S TRAIN KILLS CHILD.

DOES NOT APPROVE HEARST. Cléveland “Startled” by Democracy’s Selection in New York State.

The state- ment follows: “It is difficult for me to overcome my reluctance to express my views of the present political situation in the state of New York and yet I can never lose the interest in her political wel- lare which has grown ont of my long residence there and my active par- ticipation in her political movements. “I confess 1 was exceedingly sur- prised by the outcome of the recent Democratic convention. Though I was not near enough to be in touch with the inciden*s leading up to this result, being absent on my vacation and giv- ing little attention to political occur- rences, my estimate of the conserva- tive good judgment of the Demacracy of the state and my conception of Democratic principles and purposes were such that I was profoundly, startled by the selection made of.a candidate to represent them in the pending canvass. “Of course, every voter of the state must settle with his own conscience in determining his action in this emer- gency, but I cannot but regard the Democratic situation presented to my old associates in New York as an af- flictive one.” stgatements.
