Hamilton, our Butler County Neighbor.

Hamilton, our Butler County Neighbor.
Notwithstanding the improvements Hamil-
ton has made, the progressive introduction Of
valuable &lIy draulic works, which give her great
rank as manufacturing town, We can not, in
wishing her God-spesd in the career Of an
anticipated greatness, but remember her as the
pioneer village. 1t was sixty-eght years ago
this month that Fort Hamilton was built In
the wilderness, as tho first link Of a chain of
stOckaded forts on line West from Cincinnati
or Fort Washington. 1t was built by General
ST. CLAIR, but two months previous to the
disastrous defeat of 1871. We revive an inci-
dent Of tragic interest in the early history Of
Hamilton, which, although 1t has passed into
history, 10 not current In the everyday stories
Of the present generation. No one now re-
members, and few have heard, of the sad story
of SETH BLIN, the only son Of widowed mother,
OF New York, who, with party Of six, deserted
from Tort Hamilton in the fall Of l7o2, and
reached the Ohio River, short distance below
the site of the present city Of Louisville, but
with his colleagues, GALLEHER, JOHN BRowS,
and four others, were returned by General
CLARK to the arbitrary and tyrannieal officer,
Major Rudolph, then Commander Of the troops.
The returned desertors we're tried by court
martial; the three names above were sentenced
to be hung, two were to run the gauntlet, In
dian style, and the remaining two for stipu-
lated period to be imprisoned, loaded with
heavy irons. Five hundred soldiers, it is said,
were drawn up in arms around the fatal spot,
to witness the exit Of their unfortunate COM
rades. The sufferers were young men Of spirit
and handsome appearance, in the opening
bCom OF life, with their long hair floating
over their shoulders. JoHN Brown had been
forbidden by his parents to we'd the girl ho
loved, and he took to the saddle, and became o
dragon in the wilds Of tho West, but from
harsh treatment he felt constrained to desert.
! On the sallows he alluded to his cruel oppres-
scr. The ropo that was fastened about sErH
Bins neck slipped, aud he struggled in great
pain until hid neck was broken. If the exc
cation had been delayed few hours, re-
! priavs from Gen. WILKINSON would have saved
these young men from their tragic fate.

Death of an Aged Methodist Preacher

Death of an Aged Methodist Preacher.
Rev. JACOB YouSo died suddenly on Friday

Most of his life he has devoted to preaching
as Q minister and elder of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. He was admitted on trial
October 2, 1902, when the Western Conference
was old at Cumberland, Tennessee. His first
station, 1903, was at "Barren," in the Cumber.

In 1904 he was stationed ct "Wilderness," In

Good Thing for the Seventeenth Ward

GO0d lnnS 1or the seventeenth WarG
This portion Of our city has long beon kept
back by tho devotion of its main avenue to
oonstant occupation by omnicuses and every
class Of vehicles. We believe that well-or-
dered street railroad will lessen these obstruc-
tons and increase tho value Of property. 1t
has been fortunate for the Seventeenth Ward
that the Pendleton Railroad Company b as Sc
cured It's franchises on terms SO agreeable to
the residents along the line aud to the Com
pany. We believe that the generous policy
recently pursued by the Little Miami Rail-
road Company has tended to the kind rela-
tions now existing. An iron track heretofore
has been an evaporation to the people, instead
Of being, as 1t now is, bond of union. Stock
he's been literally subscribed by residents Of
Fulton, and the people await tho commence
mant Of street railroad transit with much in
terest $4,000 more will complete thOir capi-
tai stock. We hope that some cars may be
constructed especially to accommodate the
baskets replenished to fulness OF our markets,
which the women of Fulton boar to their homes
on their return from the city proper.

ing at Washington. The prosecution have
closed up their evidence, making, it is said,
q much weaker charge than was anticipa-
ted. The defense will.try 10 show that the
murder was not premeditaied, that it was
done under the frenzy of the highest excite
ment; and will present SIcKLAs, not as the
bloody murderer, the aggressor in crime,
but as the injured, prosecuted victim of vii.

smoothed over. until he stands before the

DESPERATE FIGHT IN RAILROAD CAR.

yesterday morning from the Cleveland and
Pittsburgh Railroad, that q desperate and
bloody rencontre took place on the night
train, short distance above WelIsville, in
which one man was shot in :he leg, and
another beaten SO badly that he had to be
carried out and medical aid called. /,
seems, from all we can learn, that Captain
Moore, of this city, was occupying seat
by himself, when a farmer, living in the
vicinity of Sloan's Station, came up anc
either tread upon or kicked his leg, proba-
bly, uninienuonally. Mr.. Moore raised up
and made some offensive remark, to which
the other replied in the same tone. A cross.
firing of words continued until the farmer,
ia answer to some epilhet, struck Moore,
when the latter drew pistol and fred twice
at his assalant, lodging two balls in his
thigh. At this point one or two of the pas.
sengers, including the man that was shot,
pitched into Moore and beat him most un-
mercifully, mutilating his face and person
without stint. The excitement on the train
was most intense during the Wheel.

Holloway's Ointment and Pills
Fraud.

There are no frauds so execrable as those
which imperil health and life. Therefore
the late atte mpts to disseminate counter
feits of the above-named great balsamc
remedies are infinitely more de,estable than
tie operations of the common forger. The
victims Of scrofula, eruptions, cancers, tu-
mors. sore legs, etc., etc., throughout the
Union, look to the Ointment as the only
element of Cure. Sufferers from dyspepsia
bilious disorders, affections of the bowels,
etc., have an equally firm reliance on the
Pills. What, then should be the punishment
of the miscresnt who offers a pernicious
salve in the place of the one, and drastic
compound under the name of the other,--

ticle, see that the water-mark, Holloway,
