DErATlMl, III., Oct. 5.—Kvrrythlnff is ready for an early trial of the Fred Majfill-Pay Graham murder case, which has been brought to Macon County <»n change >t' venue from DeVVitt County. The ease is the second' on the criminal docket, which will be the tirst to be taken up when court meets next Monday. The attorneys for the defense say the accused are ready to face the bar >f Justice, and are confident that the result of the trial will be a complete vindication. On the other hand, Prosecuting Attorney Miller, of De- Wilt County, who is in active charge of the prosecution, believes that he has a strong case, particularly against Magi II. Whatever the result may be, th«' trial is b »un.l to attract as much attention as ever centered In a criminal case in this part of the State of Illinois. Fred Magill and his wife, formerly Fay Graham, come from two of the most prominent families n the State Magill and his first wife had never been able to get along and it was c minion talk that he was paying attention to other women of Clinton, especially Miss Fay Graham, who had acted as his stenographer. On Ma> of this year Mrs. Magill, who was familiarly known as "Pet" Magill. was at her home In Clint >n, and it was at tlrst supposed that she had committed suicide. The circumstances surrounding the ; case were of a strange nature, but the authorities paid no attention to it until news came to Clinton that Fred Magill and Fay Graham had been married In Denver, and this but a little over f >ur weeks after his first wife's death. It developed that a few days after the death of his wife Magill had disposed of his property, drew his money from his father's estate and with Miss Graham and his daughter. Marguerite, aged seventeen, left Clinton. Miss Graham, who Is the daughter of W. W. Graham. a well-known resident of ciint.>11, led her parents to believe that she was going to Chicago to secure work as a stenographer, and might also visit relatives in Kankakee. When word was yecelved that the couple had been married in Denver on July f» an active investigation was started by the Clinton authorities and the result was that Magill and his bride were arrested in San Die# >, Cal.. on July 13. anfl brought baek t.o Clinton and Indicted by the grand Jury.

Immediately after the explosion the factory took fire and several boats anchored beside it. which were filled with explosives, were totally destroyed.EUI; (ILLS BROTHER PITTSBURG, Oct. 5.—With the charge of $23,000,000 for improving and enlarging the Pittsburg terminals 'during the past five years the Pennsylvania Railroad Company officials are authority for the statement that plyans will soon be under day, of a definite character, for the electrification of its entire terminal system in Pittsburg at the expenditure of many millions. At first, it is said, the changes will be made in a limited manner and then be gradually extended until the entire system is operated exclusively by electric power. Officials in Pittsburg, while not prepared to give out more than a general idea of what was in prospect, admitted that the advent of President James McCrea had'caused a greater activity along the line of electrification, and the moment the company had lightened its financial burden in connection with the New York terminal work it would take up the more active development of electric power. Only tentative plans have been discussed for Pittsburg, but these are interesting as they provide for the extension of electric power, either third rail or overhead, from Pitcaird on the main line to outlying points on both the Panhandle and the Fort Wayne divisions. The purpose is to have the steam locomotive drop the traini at those points and the trains drawn through the city by smokeless »nd noiseless machines. At first, it is feaid, only" passenger trains will be handled, but the ultimate idea is to have all trains moved in the same manner. In gathering this information officials of the Pennsylvania went into a general discussion of the difficulties of electrification under any of the known systems. From their statements it is regarded as certain they do not yet consider all of the intricate problems >f such a radical change solved. Howiver, this much was told to the Dis- itch from these officials. A system of electric motive power las been adopted for the New .York erminals which is believed to be the nost perfect yet discovered and which vill form the basis for further extenions. The first of these extensions trill be from New York to Philadel>hia, and probably 25 miles west of Philadelphia, beyond which steam >ower will be used. The second step to be In Pittsburg, as outlined, and gradual extensions eastward will be nade to meet the eastern work.

Oct. 5. -President I loose veil's bear hunt has begun. The Missouri Pacific special train bearing the PresLU nt from Memphis, arrived here this morning. This station is al>out twelve miles from where th«* chief executive will have his camp pitched In the wilderness. The president is the guest of John Mellhenny, Civil Service Commissioner from Louisiana. Shortly after the arrival of the train the party, all on horseback, with guides, started for the camp. The President has barred newspaper men from the camp. Some of the reporters had made arrangements to stop with the host of the President as guests, but Roosevelt gave the word and the invitations to the scribes were recalled. The correspondents that always accompany the President were not even allowed to come on the special train with him. STUDENTS INJURED Several Seriously Hurt In C lass llusli ut University ol' Michigan Today. A legal battle that will test the proposition whether or not the acts of a set of county officials are binding on their successors Is about to be Instituted l>> Constable-Undertaker D. \V. Bennett, of Bennozette, who claims to have proof that the man who was killed on the railroad at Dents Hun about two weeks ago was the outlaw .Jamison. The commissioners of Clinton county had offered $4 00 reward for Jamison's body, dead or alive. According to dispatches sent out from Do Hois the body was fully Identified as that of the murderer. Later the remains were placed in charge of Mr. Bennett, the undertaker at Beiine/.ette, by the coroner and county commissioners of Elk county and he accordingly prepared them for burial. No one .claimed the body and Mr*. Bennett had interment made in the legal way, but before doing so he secured a number of reliable witnesses. who, he stated, fully Identified the corpse as Jamison. After the burial he went to Lock Haven for the reward, saying he would have the body exhumed if there was any doubt In the minds of the Clinton county commissioners as to the identity. Mr. Bennett's claim was not kindly received by the Clinton county commissioners, however. They had various excuses to offer for not paying the money, the chief one being that they had offered no reward for Jamison, either dead or alive. This is probably true of the present board of commissioners, but it is admitted that a former board did offer a reward. The commissioners claim, however, that the offer was withdrawn. but whether they can produce records showing that such was the case remains ito be seen.
