SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM SUPPORTS STATE'S RIGHTS Senator Foraker Opposes Broadening Scope of Constitution. Hillsboro, O., Sept. 2).—United States Senator Joseph B. Foraker, ad- dressing several thousand residents and former residents of his native county of Highland, viewed with glarm the desire, which, he claims, is prevalent in certain parts of the coun- try, for a change to broaden inter- pretation of the national Constitution. Benator Foraker supported “state’s rights” as opposed to “centralization of power” by saying that “no greater calamity could befall this country than for it so to change its Constitution as to authorize the federal government to deal with all or any considerable part of the subjects over which the states reserve control.

Toluca, Mex., Sept. 2.\\—Eleven per- sons were killed and twelve others were injured by the explosion of a boller in the ferrer factory at Asorri- dero, state of Michcan.

FIVE PERSONS ARE JAILED Zion City Parhamites Charged With Manslaughter in Torturing to Death an Aged Woman Whom They Were Giving “Treatment.” Chicago, Sept. 2 .—Five persons, members of the sect of Parhamites, are under arrest in Zion City accused of torturing to death Mrs. Lotitia Greenhaulgh, sixty-four years old, to show thelr beliet in“The religion they profess. Those under arrest are Walter and Jennie Greenhaulgh, son and daughter of the woman; Harold Mitchell, Mrs. Harold Mitchell and a Mrs. Smith. All are charged with manslaughter. Mrs. Greenhaulgh had been for twenty years an invalid, suffering from paralysis and rheumatism. The sect of Parhamites was founded about a year ago by Charles F. Par- ham and numbers about 200. The members originally belonged to Dow- ie’s church and believe in the gift of ‘ongues and especially in diabolical possession. It is thelr theory that sickness i3 an evidence of the posses- sion of the body by evil spirits. The condition of Mrs. Greenhaulgh convinced her son and daughter and the three persons arrested with them that she must be rossessed of the devil and they determined to exorcise the evil spirit. The five knelt by the bedside and, after prayer, commenced their work. The arms of Mrs. Green- haulgh, stiffened by rheumatism, were jerked and twisted about in order that the devil might be driven out. The cries of the aged woman Were consid- ered to be those of an evil spirit and were greeted with triumphant shouts. After a course of this violent treat- ment Mrs. Greenhaulgh not only be- came so weak that she could not use her limbs but became incapable of making any motion. Then her neck was twisted and for some time this treatment was kept up. Son Testifles at Hearing. ‘Walter Greenhaulgh testified at the coroner’s inquest that Mitchell and his wife recently had a “vision” in which Mitchell was ordered to quit work and devote his time to casting out demons from the sick. Young Greenhaulgh declared that his mother’s consent was obtained before the treatment was be- gun. He asserted that hypnotic passes were made before his mother’s face and then followed the muscular force, which, he said, was strongly resisted by the “demons.” Mrs. Smith’s part in the treatment, according to the testimony before the coroner’s jury, consisted in raising Mrs. Greenhaulgh’s head and holding her while Mitchell and his wife at- tempted to straighten the woman’s umbs, which had been twisted by years of rheumatism. Greenhaulgh broke down and cried as he told his story. He declared that for some time his mother bore the treatment bravely, but at last the agony became so great that she could not restrain herself and shrieked, “Oh, Lord, help me,” a number of times. According to Greenhaulgh Mitchell said that her cries must not he heard by outsiders and he put his hand across her mouth to smother them. The five worked over the vietim until she dled. After that, according to Greenhaulgh, Mrs. Smith became the leader in a “resurrection scene.” In this efforts were made to restore the dead woman to life. When these efforts had failed the announcement of her death was made. The case Wwill be further investi- gated by the authorities. SUED ON OLD CLAIM.

New York, Sept. 2.,—A team of oxen drawing a “prairle schooner,” the driver of which was a rugged.look- Ing old: man who wore typical Western garb, including & sombrero, attracted yreat - crowds’on Broadway. The vehicle and the driver were not only I striking~gontrast ‘with the jam of itomgbileks and carriages on the “great white way,” but they were a decided’ novelty' in New York. The driver ‘was Ezra Meekér, a ploneer of the Oregon trail, who had returned over the trall he followed to the West half a century ago. All along River- side drive from Grant's tomb to Sev- enty-second street Meeker was fol- lowed by an interested and curlous throng. When Broadway was reached the crowd was so dense that the oxen, which the hale old man afterward de- scribed as Dave and Dandy, had a bard time to make any headway. Meeker’s trip ended at last at the Bat- tery. He had come all the way from Puyallup, Wash,, to New York in 626 days, Meeker's object in making his unique journey 1s to persuade the gov- ernment to build a national highway from East to West.

FORCED TO LEASE MINES Mexican Multi-Millionaire Pressed by Creditors. Chicago, Sept. 2).—A special to the Record-Herald from New York says: Pedro Alvarado, a Mexican peon, who took millions from the Alvarado sllver mines of Parral, Mex., once offered to pay the Mexican national debt and astonished three continents by his lavish display of wealth, is now in debt and has been compelled to realize upon his famous mine. He owes about $500,000 and because he refused to mortgage or sell any of his assets creditors prevailed upon him to lease the mine, from which he has taken nearly $18,000,000. It was about a year ago that Alva- rado offered to pay off the national debt of Mexico. The offer was re- fused and the Mexican kept on buy- ing silver mines and $20,000 rugs, con- structing handsome hotels near his mines and giving away large sums of money. During this time the silver mine was being filled with water and his royalties became smaller as work was curtailed. Now the young man finds that he is in need of funds and cred- itors are pressing him for their money. BLAMES FRENCH ENEMIES Pope Anxious as to Outcame of Italian Demonstration. Rome, Sept. 2\ —Anxiety is felt at the Vatican as to the outcome of the demonstrations over the thirty-sev- enth anniversary of the fall of the temporal power of the papacy and the capture of Rome by the Italians. Every year processions and demon- strations are indulged in, but on this occasion the event has taken a de- cidedly anti-clerical turn, under the inspiration of the extreme parties, and at the Vatican it is feared it may lead to serious complications. The general feeling in Vatican circles is that the whole revival of anti-clerical- Ism is due to the direct influence of the French enemies of the papacy, working especially through Free Ma- sonry and doing all in their power to start in the Italian peninsula an agi- tation against the church similar to that in France. Hints are even made that considerable sums of money have been contributed for this purpose. Roman citizens in general depre- cate such a campaign and believe that the extraordinary precautions of the government will obviate any serious trouble. SHOT DOWN BY OFFICER Negro Killed After Terrorizing an Illi- nois Town. Collinsville, Tll, Sept. 2 .—After running rampant through the streets here, chasing people into their homes at the point of a revolver and clear- ing saloons of patrons, George White, a negro, was shot and instantly killed by Deputy Skerift Will Blake. White owned a saloon in the outskirts. He appeared on the streets with a revol- ver and after terrorizing the town he retreated to his saloon, barricaded the door and refused to submit to arrest.

Others Heroically Face Death in Effort to Save Comrade. Baltimore, Sept. 2).—Peter Joyce and Howard Smith, the latter a col- ored man, lost their lives at the bot- tom of a deep hole being dug to make a sewer connection. Joyce entered the excavation first and was instantly overcome. Smith, seeing Joyce’s plight, immediately -went to his res- cue, only to be similarly overcome. In succession two other workmen risked their lives in the hope of sav- ing the two at the bottom of the hole. Each of these were lowered into the excavation by ropes and each just succeeded, before losing conscious- ness, in attaching a rope to one of the first two who had gone down into the pit, both of whom, however, were dead when brought to the surface. Gas accumulating over night was the cause of the double tragedy. MINERS ARE ENTOMBED. Little Hope Entertained for Men in Burning Shaft.
