founding Revelations!

Since our last issue some matters have
come to light, relating to the County
lntirmary, which are not calculated to
impress the taxpayers of this county
very favorably.
Justice to the tax payers, demands,
we think. that these matters should be
laid before them:
THE STATE OF OH1c, MONROE COUNTY, SIS
George s. Weisend being first duly
sworn, says: That in the month of
March, 1871. myself and Frederick j.
Burkhart, as guardian Of George M.
Weisend, were negotiating with Jacob
c. Yoho and Jesse Jackson, as Directors
of the County Ipfirmary, for the support
and maintenance of George NJ. Weisend,
and said Toho and Jackson demanded
for their own use and benefit about 2 Or
3 hundred dollars in addition to the
amount to he paid for the county, which
sums we refused to pay but we did pay
Jesse Jackson the sum of one hundred
dollars for the private use of him ami
Jacob c. Yoho equally, and they re-
quested and required, that we should
keep the transaction secret and not dis
close it to any one.

Stokes. ]
A short sketch Of his Life.

Is s =
In view Of the recent trial and convection
of Edward $. Stekcsst Tor the murder OF Col.
James Fisk, and the unusual interest mani
fcssetl in tile matter. tile following in regard
TO the former career of the murderer will
not he out of place !: Il.
According to The Chicago Tribune Edward
Stiles Stokes. born hi 1889. is the son of Ed
ward 1t. stokes. a retired New 4 ork n1er-
chant, andis The eldest oi five children. RTE
Ifamily had the advantage of wealth, luxury
and culture. Edward became connected
with an extenslveoil refinery at Hunters
Point; the compans fell into diliicuities, and
a. this Junctnrt 3sm Fix appeared. IA com
pact WIS struck between the two; success
followed. and in 1864 Stokes married the
daughter Of jaw. Southwick. a prominent
furniture dealer in New York, and one of
the oldest and wealthiest i'm the city
Here Josie Mansfislf appeared on the
scene, III intimate association with both
Fisk and Stokes. resulting in a quarrel be-
tween the two men, and the shooting OF the
former by the latter. l #5y-
The relations between Stokes md Mans
field became so disgracefui and shameless
that g the fatller-ili-law, Southwiek. sent his
daughter and his child to Europe in 1871, to
remove her from the scenes of the scandal.
It is said that the same steamer that took
news to Europe of the murder of Fisk by
Stokes carried divorce, procured by her
family, for his wife, who still remains
abroad" 5t f III 4=a8E
Stokes, senior, after thirty years of retire
ment, wealth ard luxury, In his old age is
bankrupt and homeless. One daughter died
two weeks after marriage, another, married
to Mr.. Sutton, attached herself SO strong
IL to the fortunes of her brother that her
husbafdv discarded her, and she took refuge
with her aged, poverty stricken parents
Another son, d young man of great promise,
died two months sirec OF grief ard shame.
The complete liat of fnaocent and suffering
victims by the Stokes folies, crimes, dis
grace and misiortunes includes some Of the
best known and esteemed OF New York fam
ilies. Verify, the way of transgrcssors is
hard, not only to themselves, buttto others
less guilty and possibly altogether innocent.
There is nothing safe, healthy and honorable
but that which is inst and right. y

FEATHER WEIGHT PUGILTsT.

From the Turf, Field and Farm.
DR.. Mary E. Walker, if we my believe
a Washington correspondent, was the here
inc of scene few days ago when she
made muscular demonstration that would
have done credit to a feather weight of the
prize ring. Two rows of seats in one of
the gentlemen's gall ries of the House of
Representatives were set apart for ladies.
DR.. Walker, though not dressed as lady,
sought to occupy one of these seats. The
doorkeeper in charge stopped her, when she
Indignantly asked if she was not a lady?
He replied that he dii not know, and NUT
tered something about examination, when
the fiery little doctor let drive at him with
her fist, planting a blow squarely on his
nose. The argument, ifnot convincing, Sc
cured the right of way, and the feat her.
weight marched triumphly 10 the coveted
seat. This incident reminds us of another
scene,!in which the belligerent spirit of the
Doctor was made manifest. In the lobby
of the Louisville Post-office big washer
woman with brogue decidedly Irish ad-
dressed a sneering remark to the Doctor,
who was then arrayed in halflmilitary
uniform, wearing upon her shoulders the
straps of a Major. The washerwoman was
four times the size of Walker, nevertheless
the little body resented the insult with a
blow. She carried an umbrella in her hand,
and when the big woman rushed at her full
of anger, she hoisted this umbrella and
made it serve as shield. She danced be-
hind it screaming defiance, while her burly
opponent Vainly tried to execute flank
movement and take her revenge. 1t was a
ludicrous scene, and had not the police in
terfered il might have proved disastrous to
the Doctor. As the Walker is about at the
end of her rope in her great role OF refor-
mer, and as she seems to be not only will
ing, but able to fight on slight provocation,
why do not some of the magnates of the
prize ring secure her for star engagement?
She would draw well, and soon might de-
monstrate her right to be recognizedcas the
