At the I dfath he was president of the at Sandusky. The charred a man were found on the trucks of a burned freight car by C. P. section men at Smith Ferry yesterday. Two freight aars standing on a siding took fire mysteriously Wednesday night about 10 o'clock and burned down to the trucks before the flames were extinguished.

At the time there was no thought that one of them contained a human occu pant and it was not until yesterday morning when some of the railroad employes were going to work that the remains were discovered. The bones were burned almost beyond recognition, but. enough of the skull, shoulders and backbone were left to positively identify them as the framework of a man. Buckles, presum ably on a belt worn by the victim were also found. The fragments were picked up and taken to a tool house where they were put away until the arrival of Coroner Gormley from Mon aca, who was summoned by telephone After viewing the remains they were taken away by the eoroner.

The general supposition is that the man was a tramp who crawled into one of the cars to sleep. It is a habit of tramps on cold nights to got into a box car and shut the doors, after which they heat the interior by burn ing a few newspapers on the floor The victim might have done this and thus set fire to the car. Or possibly he was intoxicated and set the car on fire by careless smoking. At first it was feared that the vie tim might be Raymond, the 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.

Harry Dawson, who ran away from home about week ago. Young Dawson was seen in Ferry Wednesday evening and it was thought that he might pos sibly have gone to the box car because he was afraid to go home. He was located later, however, and stat ed that he had slept all night in an old boiler on the hill near Glasgow. It will doubtless never be known who the cremated man was, as he was apparently alone and identification of the remains, which only weigh 10 or 15 pounds, is absolutely impossible.

AFRAID OF EQUINE GHOSTS While investigating the case of alleged poisoning of a horse belonging to Ben Standford, of California Hollow', Sanitary Policeman Burgess this morning discovered that the anima! had been killed, a knife having severed its throat, and that gome people were attaching the blame to Cassius Starkey. By whom the horse was killed is not known.

Starkey stoutly denies the allegation that he killed it and to prove his assertion told the officer of a weird experience he had in killing one horse. You see, Mr. Burgess, they say I killed that said Starkey, "it is not so. I will never kill another horse so long as 1 live, because it is bad luck. Since I killed the last horse I have had nothing but bad luck and it pay.

tell you all about that horse. One day a man in this town asked me to take his horse out in the country and kill it. He said it was too old for work and he wanted to get rid of It. Offering me good pay for the job, I accepted and took the ani mal several miles out of town. When 1 got to a rather secluded place I took a club and knocked the horse down.

I then took a 38-caliber revolver and fired two shots into his hrain. He was motionless, but to make sure I took a knife and cut bis Continued on Eighth Page.

GREAT INTEREST IN THE TRIAL THE LAW WILL NOT PERM! DISCUSSION OFJHSPUTE Held Last Night By Two men and a Railroad Representative. THE POINTS TO BE DECIDED Only two members of the city council appeared at the city hull last evening to confer with Attorney James F. Carey and Engineer Culbertson, of the Pennsylvania railroad, concerning the railroad ordinance which was passed many months ago and which has not been lived up to. it seems that the clerk was not Instructed to call a meeting and though he knew the officials were here for the purpose of settling some long standing disputes no attempt was made to get the body together. Councilraen Bullock and Croxall read in the Evening Review that the officials were in the city and they had enough interest in the municipal affairs to meet the gentlemen.

For an hour or more the quartet discussed the provisions of the ordinance which the company has been ignoring, and while nothing definite was accomplished, the officials talked as if it would not be a hard matter to adjust the differences if council will meet them Attorney Carey told the councilmen that he thought it would not he difficult for the city to get a crossing at Myrtle avenue in the East End. All that is necessary is to prove that a crossing is a necessity. A discussion of the Elizabeth street From the fact that William G. Dorff received more votes In the township outside of East Liverpool city, than did Chris Horton, hundreds of people tie lleve him to have been elected to the office of township treasurer and many friends of the potilar young man have been estendlng congratulations The situation proved very puzzling to city officials and politicians until the law was inquired into. Mr.

Horton, the Republican nomi nCe, carried the city overwhelmingly over his Democratic opponent, Dorff, hut in the township, where less than 100 votes were cast, Dorff had hare majority in the unofficial coant Home of his Dermsratle friends once sef up the claim that he is entl tied to the township office The claim was upon the be lief that the city proper has nothing to do with township affairs, it is only a party custom to nominate one eandi date for the city and township treas urershlps and Mr. frlondH be lleved that the electors In the city proper had no right to participate in the of the latter official. It was reasoned (hat electors In the city have no voice in the election of the township assessors and road supervis ors that the same rule applied to the office in question. Although prominent Republicans poo-hooed the claim, it was not until City Solicitor Davidson was appealed to that a final decision was obtained Many years ago Ihe same question was raised In Mt. Vernon, where electors in Fairfield township, outside of Mt.

Vernon city, voted on a set of candidates for township trustees. An other set of andldates was voted on In Mt Vernon and the dispute was carried up to the supreme court. The derision, founded in the seventeenth Ohio state report, is succinctly as fo! lows: of a city are not entitled to vote for assessors and of highways as officers of the town ship, hut In the offices of township trustees, clerk, treasurer, justice of the peace and constable, electors of a city have in some or all resjswts a like in terest with the electors of the town Mr. Dorff stated this afternoon tha he was not making any claim to the office and that he had not investigated the matter. I am entitled to the office not lie he said.
