Wanted for Murder
Sheriff Sawyer received a dispatch yesterday
afternoon from Sheriff A. J. Walsh of Beaver Falls, Pa.,
saying that he was coming on the next train to take charge of
Confer & Davison held for murder in the case of Doyle,
shot at Beaver Falls Saturday night. Chief of Police White

return with their prisoners this afternoon. According to
White's version of the affray Confer had recently opened
a gambling room in a house which was once occupied by a woman of ill
repute and that Doyle and two companions went there last
Saturday night under the impression that the woman still lived
there. In some manner an alteration ensued and in the melee
Doyle was shot.
David lived at New Brighton, across the river
from Beaver Falls, and sometimes worked in a rolling ill.

TEXAS FEVER IN CHICAGO
The Dreaded Cattle Disease Among the Dairy Cows.
CHICAGO, July 29. - Texas fever has made its appearance among
the cows near the city limits in a portion of the twenty-eighth
ward, this city, and about twenty of them have died from the effects
of that disease. Inspectors of the health department have made
a post mortem examination in several cases and pronounce the disease
true Texan fever. The supposition is that animals contracted
it from refuse which dropped from railroad cars in which Texas
cattle were being transferred into this city. The officers of
the department say that the only means of preventing the disease
from spreading to all the cattle in the neighborhood is to shut them
up until frost comes next fall.

BROUGHT HERE FOR BURIAL FROM PEORIA - HE WAS A WELL KNOWN
CLEVELANDER.
Col. O. C. SCOVILLE of this city died at Peoria,
Ill., on Friday at the age of seventy years.
Mr. SCOVILLE was taken sick about two months
ago. His sister, Mrs. BEEMIS, who lives in the western
part of New York, and his daughters, Mrs. CORNING of Peoria
and Mrs. GIBSON of Chicago, were called to his bedside.
He recovered sufficiently to go to Peoria, and it was believed that
the climate of that section would assist in his improvement.
His trouble was dropsy and Bright's disease.
Philo SCOVILLE, the father of Col. SCOVILLE,
was proprietor of the old Franklin hotel, where the boy was born in
1823. He took a whaling trip with Capt. George
WOLVERTON in 1840, and engaged in other seafaring work. AT
various times he conducted a printing office and a cooper shop, and
during the gold excitement went to California.
The remains will be brought to this city, and the
funeral services will be held at the residence of his son,
Charles P. SCOVILLE, No. 464 Russell Avenue, at 3 p.m. Sunday.

ONCE
MORE. THE EARLY SETTLERS MEET AGAIN WITH THINNED RANKS.
FORTY-SIX DIED LAST YEAR
Interesting Record of Another Year's
History - A Memorable Occasion to Those Who Participated - Officers
Elected.
Rows of white haired men with
that ruggedness of physical appearance that characterizes the faces in
the famous painting of "The Waterloo Veterans," flanked by noble
looking women, whose sharp faces lacked the bloom of half a century
ago, but which still shone bright with the beauty of their strong New
England character, gathered in the Army and Navy hall on Monday
morning to take part in the fifteenth annual meeting of the Early
Settlers' association of Cuyahoga county.
The absence of that enthusiastic early settler, Col. Richard C.
PARSONS, was in a part substituted by Vice President George F.
MARSHALL. On the platform were the venerable Mrs. J. H. HARRIS,
Rev. Lathrop COOLEY, Father H. M. ADDISON, H. C. HAWKINS, Solon
BURGESS and the members of that venerable quartet, the Arions, without
whose presence no Early Settlers meeting would be complete.
The Hon. H. J. WILLIAMS called the meeting to order and the Rev. Dr.
M. L. BERGER made the opening prayer. The Arions sang "Auld Lang
Syne."
The Hon. A. J. WILLIAMS then read
the following review of the year:
"Many of
those who have so contributed to our pioneer local history as
preserved in the 'annals' of the association have gone hence.
But history is continuous. When the Indian disappeared, and the
bear, the wolf, the deer and the wild turkey were no longer seen on
the western reserve; and when the forest was cleared and the cottage
took the place of the log cabin and the experience of the pioneer of
those days became recorded in the 'annals' of our association, then
what? Are the early settlers all gone, and is early settlers'
history all written up? No. As early settlers of the next
generation come in and take their place.
"Our membership increased from year to year, until at our last
meeting, with the thirty-six who then joined, there had been enrolled
1,026. Nine have joined since, making our total membership,
including those who have passed away, 1,035. Of this number 352
died before our meeting of last year; and since July 22, 1893, as
appears from the list following, given by our secretary, Henry C.
HAWKINS, we chronicle 46 more- leaving a present membership of 637.
At the meeting of the association in the year 1892 the executive
committee's report showed that forty-three members of our association
had died within the preceding year.
At our
meeting last year the report showed twenty-eight deaths of members
from July 22, 1892, to July 22, 1893.
Now
we report that since our last meeting forty-six of our members have
passed away, as follows:

The chair then stated that at a special
meeting of the executive committee resolutions in memory of the late
Vice President John H. SARGENT had been passed and that Mr. George F.
MARSHALL had been unanimously elected to fill the position in the
association left vacant by the deceased.
On motion of Col. O. J. HODGE the following offiers were elected for
the ensuing year: President, Col. R. C. PAQRSONS; vice
president, Mrs. J. A. HARRIS and George F. MARSHALL; secretary, H. C.
HAWKINS; treasurer, Solon BURGESS; chaplain, Rev. Lewis BURTON;
marshall, H. M. ADDISON; executive committee, Hon. A. J. WILLIAMS, R.
T. LYON, Darwin ADAMS, George F. MARSHALL, W. S. DODGE, Solon BURGESS,
W. S. KERRUISH and Boliver BUTTS.
The Rev.
Lathrop COOLEY then made a short address in which he gave some
interesting incidents of early life in Cleveland. The Arions
sang several old-fashioned songs and at noon the members repaired to
dinner which was served in the building.
It only required a good, old-fashioned luncheon, with plenty of
substantials topped off with home made doughnuts and coffee, to put
the men in an excellent degree of health and spirits. When the
members got back in the hall there was an hour for social conversation
and the stories that were told would have made old Peter PARLEY
envious of his reputation as a recounter. Father ADDISON glided
about as nimbly as a boy in a roller rink distributing circulars of
his Fresh Air camp. Mrs. HARRIS compared notes with Judge WHITE,
Luther R. PRENTISS, who said he was told that he was born in New
Hampshire in 1803, but has his doubts about it, and Mrs. A. H. NORTON,
who was born in the same year, were centers of interesting groups of
friends.
As 2 o'[clock seemed to be a good
while in arriving the venerable Jon REEVE moved that hereafter the
Early Settlers do business by God's time, as they were brought up
under it and did not want any new-fangled ideas now. The motion
was carried unanimously.
Mr. J. F. ISHAM
sang "Oh, Happy Day" and Judge Henry C. WHITE was introduced. He
received a cordial reception and said:
"
'Rough are the stops, slow hewn in flintiest rocks, that states climb
to power by.'
"I know of no more fitting
sentiment for this occasion than this by LOWELL:
" 'Or slender life runs rippling by and
Into the silent hollow of the past;
What
is there that abides
To make the next age
better than the last?
"One hundred years
ago today a great struggle was going on for mastery in this western
country. A hundred years ago today 'Mad Anthony' WAYNE of
Pennsylvania was leading the young American army under its infant flag
with its thirteen stars, one for each year as well, as state, while
Charles SCOTT of Kentucky and his 1,000 men were fighting in Ohio.
On the rapids of the maumee stood a British fort under a British flag,
as there was at Detroit and Mackinac. They were to collect
tribute from the debtor class in America. A hundred years ago
today George WASHINGTON was never more tried. You say all was
peace, but war was in the land and 15000 armed men were in rebellion
growing out of economic and revenue questions of the day, and George
WASHINGTON issued not one proclamation as President CLEVELAND did, but
three proclamations, calling on the loyal governors of Pennsylvania
and New York to aid him in putting down lawlessness. They did
send out thousands of hardy militiamen across the mountains. And
let me read you George WASHINGTON's congratulations to the army on the
putting down of the revolution:
" ' While
there is cause to lament,' he said, 'that occurrences of this nature
should have disgraced the name or interrupted the tranquility of any
part of our community, or should have diverted to a new application
any portion of the public resources, there are not wanting real and
substantial consolations for the misfortune. It has demonstrated
that our prosperity rests on solid foundations, by furnishing an
additional proof that my fellow citizens understand the true
principles of government and liberty; that they feel their inseparable
union; that, notwithstanding all the devices which have been used to
sway them from their interest and duty, they are now as ready to
maintain the authority of the laws against licentious invasions as
they were to defend their rights against usurpation.'
"And so the whisky rebellion of 1794 was put down 100 years ago.
And so, you see, history is repeating itself and I am here today to
rejoice that we have an army in the United States and that we have a
president in the chair at Washington who dares to call for armed force
to put down crime and lawlessness. (Applause)
"You remember that it was only 100 years ago that the reign of terror
fell across this country like a great pall, because of the fact that
this rebellion was founded in that spirit of Jacobinism that had its
rise in teh French revolution. The difference is that today
there are five imperial states in this northwest territory where we
formerly had a few scattered settlements.
"In 1788 Arthur St. Clair had opened this northwest territory.
He had called the Indians together to arrange a friendly opening of
the land.
"I wish I could tell you about
these great land companies of that day. We inveigh today against
private corporation and trusts and they are baneful, but a hundred
years ago these great companies were far worse. Benjamin
Franklin saw the future of America in the vast imperial territory of
the northwest. George WASHINGTON, with his compass and
theodolite, understood the west, but aside from these two men there
were very few men who understood the grand future of America. It
is wonderful how this great tide of population was dashed against the
headlands and swept in the inlets of this great western country until
it meets the returning tide from the Pacific.
"But the Indian possessed the land then. New Nothing remains to
tell of them except the names of our great rivers - the Maumee and the
Tuscarawas and Cuyahoga and if you would go down to the Cuyahoga now
you would wish the Indians had taken the Cuyahoga with them. But
whatever we may say in poetry of the red man the early settler had
prose experiences with them that were much more true and just then the
poetry.
"Ohio ought to be a patriotic
state. Why, the first settlers at Marietta contained fifty-eight
revolutionary soldiers, with grand old Rufus PUTNAM of Massachusetts
at their head.
"But I am here to tell you
something about the great final struggle. And I want to say
something about the army of the United States. One hundred years
ago the army of the United States consisted of one regiment under Gen.
Josiah HAMAR of Kentucky. In 1792 when HARMAR's had been
defeated a resident of Washington gave into the hands of Arthur St.
CLAIR, the olive branch and the sword of Bunker Hill, and told him to
go out and recover this territory. At old Ft. Recovery he
suffered a terrific defeat. Washington filled with rage and
grief at first against his general, but, waiting for St. CLAIR, heard
the details from him and asked forgiveness for his first misjudgment
of his old revolutionary comrade.
"Then
Anthony WAYNE, the Sheridan of the revolution - 'Mad Anthony,' as the
soldiers called him, but a cultivated gentleman - was placed in
command. Then this army of 5,000 men, with all its subsistence,
felling trees and making its own roads, marched through the
wilderness, building its own stockades each night, until they reached
Ft. Recovery, and 100 years ago in Preble county, at Ft. Greenville,
they joined with the citizen soldiery of Kentucky and Aug. 20, 1794,
they fought the battle of Fallen Timber. LITTLE TURTLE, the
Indian chief, was defeated and a treaty was formed, the Indians
evacuated, and for fifteen years peace followed. So it was that
100 years ago this great triumph of civilization was gained for this
great northwest territory."
Judge WHITE
closed by reading a few verses of an old poem called "On the Banks of
Old Maumee," which quite brought down the house.
A unanimous vote of thanks was extended to Judge WHITE, and Mr. ISHAM
sang "The Beautiful City."
Judge S. O.
GRISWOLD, formerly of thsi city, but now of Connecticut, followed with
a brief address, and the meeting closed by singing "America" and
the
benediction pronounced by the Rev. Dr. M. L. BERGER.

Evidence of Murder is Found.
Mrs. McClellan Was Probably Beaten to Death at Conneaut, Ohio.
Cleveland, Ohio, June 2. - Mrs. Elanor
McClellan was found dead on the lake shore at Conneaut, Ohio last
Sunday morning, and it is now believed that she was murdered.
Mrs. McClellan, who was about 50 years old, was formerly a school
teacher at some place in New York, but had been employed as a domestic
in this city for some time. She disappeared a few days ago.
Before her body was found at Conneaut she told several persons with
whom she came in contact that she had run away from Cleveland to
escape her divorced husband. She had evidently been struck on
the head with some blunt instrument. The coroner today decided
that she had come to her death at the hands of an unknown person.
The police are trying to find a clew to the murderer.

loves and lives, is compared to Johann Hoch, the arch bigamist
recently hanged in Chicago by Prosecuting Attorney Wickham, of
Huron County, who arrived in Cleveland this afternoon with Sheriff
Snyder to begin their quest for the fugitive.
"I consider Reynolds a character with a similar
mania for marriage,
said Mr. Wickham. "I shall not be surprised if several other
women who supposed themselves his wife are discovered through the
publicity now being given the case. The theory that the little
girl in Pennsylvania is the daughter of still another bigamous wife I
consider quite plausible."
The Norwalk officers went to Central Station on arrival
and held a conference with Inspector Rowe, asking him formally
to detain Reynolds should he return here. Prosecutor
Wickham said later that circulars with Reynold's picture,
which the police here have, would be sent to police departments
thoroughout the country, with a request for his arrest.

YEAR'S FIRES IN OHIO CAUSE 25 DEATHS
State Marshall Issues Warning, Citing Cost of Carelessness.
Plain Dealer - Bureau, 22 S. High Street, Columbus, Dec.
20.
More than 250 people were burned to death in Ohio in
1919; and more than 400 were injured. According to reports
made public today by William J. Leonard, state fire marshal.
Of the dead, seventy-four were babies or children and
nineteen were aged people. The majority of the children were
killed either in the morning when they sought the warm fire in their
nighties, or at night when they were ready for the "sand man," says
Mr. Leonard.
When the mercury drops, the death rate from fire
goes up.
"Four children left alone when mother went to the
grocery or to the neighbors lost their lives, and two were injured.
Four aged persons were burned to death while alone in the house.
In over 95 per cent, of the total casualties, the element of
carelessness entered, the report declares.
The causes of the deaths ranged anywhere from suicide,
murder and the "going bad" of an airplane engine in mid air, to
playing with matches and to the most prolific cause of all - the
open fire.
"The four man causes of the home tragedies were open,
unscreened fires, gasoline, kerosene and oils. _____ and

OHIO GIRL IN BIGAMY CHARGE AGAINST GRAFTON
Declares Pittsburg Heir Married Her After Whirlwind Courtship.
NEW YORK, April 5. - Three witnesses told a supreme court grand
jury today what they knew about charges that Joseph Donald
Grafton, son of a wealthy Pittsburg furniture manufacturer,
committed bigamy by wedding Peggy Davis, 17, "Follies girl,"
last December three weeks after he had married Ellen Curley
McIntyre of Youngstown, O.
Mrs. McIntyre-Grafton was the first witness.
The others were Mrs. Capitola P. Laird, mother of Peggy
Davis and Albert A. Shepard, who works on a trade paper.
Grafton's marriage to Miss McIntyre the
latter told reporters after she appeared before the grand jury
occurred despite the objections of her family and followed a
whirlwind courtship during which she broke off her engagement to a
boyhood chum.
While on their honeymoon in Cleveland and New York, the
girl declared she wrote her parents and obtained $300 because
Grafton said money from his home had been held up as the result
of an affair he had with an actress.
Mrs. Laird told interviewers that Grafton
denied that he had been married to anyone else when he and Peggy
were wedded in New York last December. The couple had started
housekeeping in Troy, N. Y., she said, when Grafton
disappeared.
