CINCINNATI. - John M. Pattison, governor of Ohio, died at his homo in Milford, suburb of this city, at 4:20 o'clock in the afternoon. That tho death of the governor was entirely unexpected was evident when it is remembered that in a contest over the requisition of Ells worth Liverpool in the courts in this city, both of the governor's physi cians appeared to testily that his condition was such that he was able to transact ollicial business. His private secretary, L. li. Ilouck, also testified to his good condition, explaining that lie had recently gone over much business with him. Although there has been for months an expressed fear that Governor l'attison would not be able to return to his ollico at Columbus, the cheer ful statements from his sick room tended to create a belief that any fatal outcome of his prolonged sick ness would be long deferred. Not at any time a man of powerful physique, Governor Pattison entered upon tho responsibilities of his oilioc in a somewhat weakened condition, 'the strain of the political campaign having so sworn on him that a trip to the south was taken in November and December in the hope of regain ing his health. However, when he returned, he was still weak and under tho advice of his physician, his part of the inauguration ceremonies was gone through with the utmost care. A glass covering was provided for tne reviewing stand that he might be protected from tho stormy January winds and through that he reviewed one of tho most elaborate parades that has'evor graced the inauguration of any Ohio governor. He then went to his home, from which he only emerged for a few short walks, until brought to this city on a special train on the night of April 5. lie continued to oversee the work of his office and through his private secretary, Louis li. Ilouck. who had been his running mate on the demo cratic ticket, transacted considerable public business, even when unable to arise from his bed. As soon as his condition permitted, he was brought to Cincinnati. spondim: several .ii.no 111 a nospnai, anu a week ago he was brought to hie country homo at AliiTord. He has jbeen reported as steadily gaining since then, although a report was current that he had suffered a relapse. John M.

Nearly three hundred people were crowded into tho court room to hear the testimony given in the neadiey muruer pre liminary trial wherein Jess Headloy, is accused of killing his father near Craig, Neb., May 15. On motion of County Attorney Taylor, Noah P. Headloy, tho younger boy, was dis charged as there seemed to be no evidence whatever that he wbb in any way connected with the crime. County Coroner Ward was the iirst witness called. He testified that he lirst saw tho dead man '.on the morn ing of June 0 lying in the water with one arm fastened to a wire fence in such a manner as to leave his legs and trunk partly out of the water, while his head was completely covered up. The muscles the face of and his hair were gone and when the body was raised out of the water the skull flew open. Py the time it was examined there was not a thing left inside. Dr. Ward made a thorough cxamin tion of tho skull and found several places where small shot had hit it. He was positive that death was caused by a shot gun. Mrs. Headley identilied the cloth ing as being that of her husband. Noah Headley tcstilied that he wps in the iield harrowing, and some time between 8 and 0 o'clock on tho morning of May 15, he heard the sound of a shot over in the direction of the houso and that Jess did not come out to work until nearly 11 o'clock. Victor Johnon, a boy about fifteen, said lie was in the Hold harrowing about eighty rods from the Headley homo on the morning ol May 15 and that ho saw some one leave tho Headley homo whom time he took to be Jess, pushing a handcar over towards Pell creek. Sheriff Phipps was the last witness and he wns asked to repeat the con versation had between the defendant, the county attorney and himself in tho jail on the day following tho arrest of the two boys. The sub stance of the conversation was this: Jess admitted that he killed his father, that ho did it with a shot gun ar.d that he dumped the budy into the creek. The state and defense both waived argument and Judge Bar Id: bound Jess Headley over to the district court without bail. A Orrut Uproar ST.

Tho president expressed dissatis faction at the action of tho senate in supporting his plan for a lock canal. U- has been convinced for several dayn that tho lock typo would bo adopted. A careful canvass of tho senate had boon made and ho was assured that there would bo a safe majority in favor of tho lock typo which he had advocated since the report of tho engineers' commission was received. It was pointed out at tho white house that practically the same sena tors who voted against the lock canal project also were opposed to tho Panama treaty and so recorded their votes. The president regards tho vote of congress on the lock tpyo of canal as a vote of confidence. Orders will be issued in a few days to push the work as rapidly as possible and it is an nounced that before tho summer is far advanced as many men and as much machinery as can be profitably employed will be making the dirt lly.
