word or two from us, as our paper circu

this case all the success possible.
From the Moundsville Reporter.
We are indebted to sheriff Brookover,
OF New Martiusville for the following
facts:
About . o'clock A. n, on Thursday
last, q number oil persons disguised and
armed went TO the house Of John Jen-
nipgs, in Wetzel county, and shot him
dead in his tracks. His wife fought
them with an axe, and in the melee
was wounded in the hip and in the arm.

under the protection Of an armed force
under Sheriff Brookover' Dr.. Priest
accompanied the party and dressed Mrs
Jennings wounds, but expresses doubts
as to her recovery. The worst feature
about the who'd matter is that
they did not succeed in catching the
younger members Of this thieving and
numbering band. Things are in such .
condition that some more work Of this
kind is absolutely necessary. The
lynchers left written notices for the
other members Of the gang to leave the
country on the penalty Of their lives.
We hourly expect to hear OF other
scenes OF like nature. for the best citi-
zeus OF the county endorse this act and
will protect the parties engaged, feeling
that it is war to the knife, and that as
the law has failed to protect their per-
sons and their property, that they must
take the law into their own hands, and
although we are friendly to law and
order, we cannot but sympathize with
these men and endorse the course they
they have decided upon.

The suit OF Mrs. Eliza Goss against

pany, which has been on trial at Bal
timore for some time past, has resulted
in verdict for the plaintiff in the sum
OF 5000, the amount Of policy on the
life OF her husband The case Is a very
remarkable one. Goss was o young
mechanic who earned not to exceed SIS

life for SO, 900 in four different COM
panies. Soon after his shop was burn.

the ashes. On the day previous to this
Goss went to q bank, where he bad q

insurance companies regarded the cir
cumstance as suspicious, and determin-

body found in the ruins OF the burnt
shop wss not that OF Goss, and chat the
whole affair was a conspiracy to de-
fraud the companies. The trial lasted
ten days, and resulted, as above stated
in verdict for the widow.

CINCINNATI.
A Clergyman In Trouble.

CINCINNATI, June 12.-Some eighteen
months ago the Rev. Stephen Morgan,
pastor of the Cheviot Baptist Church in
the suburbs Of this city. was convicted
Of stealing books from the public libra
ry. Mr.. Morgan was a very young
man and the sentence OF the court was
held. The church, however, suspended
him for one year. Six months ago he
was restored to full fellowship in the
church, and installed as pastor of the
Baptist Church at Ludlow, Kentucky,
nearly opposite here. A week ago re-
ports were put in circulation that Mr..
Morgan was guilty Of indecent conduct
TO a lady member of bis church. An
investigating committee took the mat
ter in hand, aud although the nature
and extent OF Mr.. Morgan's offences
have not been made public, still they
were in all probability Of 9 serious ma
ture, as the church has Suspended him
for three years.

What the F00r Lord Mayor OF Lon
don Endures.

London Cor. OF the Chicago Tribune.
The corporation Of London is one o
the sturdiest Of English shams. 1t ii
enormously rich; 1t is very old; it ap'
peals to the conservative feeling which
is uppermost in English society; and
above all, it gives dinners to the
right people. There is no exsggeratior
in saying it owes its immunity from
reform to the judiciousness OF its ban
quets. Once more it is threatened. Mr.
Gladstone intimates that next year, an
attempt will be made in right earnest,
to form municipality for the whole oi
London: and that the charities now in
the hands OF the little clique called AL
dermen and Common Councilmen, will
be everhauled and redistributed. Every
body knows that the "City Of London"
is q tiny parish in the middle OF London /;
and that the Lord Mayor Of London"
is Lord Mayor OF only few streets.
But then his turtle is 30 good; his
punch is an aristocratic production, and
Chateau Margsux, as 1 was able to
ascertain last night, is fit for the big
gest Mayor in the universe.
The Duke OF Edinburg was coming
to our banquet, go the city danes
adorned themselves in the richest Of
their stuffs AS the carriages drew up
at the Mansion House a sharp-looking
crowd, kept back by the police, was
able to criticise the form and the fash
ion which were ''set down" under the
canopy. Ascending the carpeted way,
one was soon in the hands OF gorgeous
footmen, six feet two inches in height,
resplendent in gold braid, and with
heads thickly white with liberal de-
posits of hair powder. You follow other
couples through saloon after saloon,
passing the band of the Coldstream
Guards on your right, until you reach
the reception room.
What q weary round it is! Fre-
quently he has fifty or sixty people to
breakfast with him, thirty or forty to
lunch, and four or five hundred 10 din

times q week. How does he survive 2
Most Lord Mayors in my day have
emerged" from their Mayoralty with
sunken frames and bloated cheeks. A
year or two later, they hobble; four years,
and they are martyrs to the gout. Sir
Sydney Waterlow, the present Mayor,
is q sensible man; and 1 noticed that,
at last nights dinner, he ate little else
than bread. Can he have force
enough of will to resist his own luxu-
ries night after night? He is
heterodox, l know, in many
things, but this would be too new.
Meanwhile, there he stands, at the
top of the room, bearing on his shoul-
ders sbsurdly msnufacterd robes and
any amount OF chains. By his side is
his wife. a lady in whose features i'll
health is but too plainly apparent; and
next TO her is their daughter, q pretty
girl in white and blue, with q high ruff,
like that Of the portraits Of Queen Eliz-
abeth. Before you reach them your
name is insisted upon, aud then shout.
ed out as you walk nearer the Mayor.
Having extricated yourself and your
companion in the ordinary way. you
stand on one side and watch your suc-
cessors arrive. When the Duke is an-
nouneed the Lord Mayor and two or
three attendants proceed to meet him.

Comptroller Hodges, OF South Caro-

damus case, charges that a correct reg
istry OF all bonds oithe State, which
exhibits the number and amount there
of that has not been kept at the State
Treasury; that said registry does moi
exhibit the number and amount OF al
bonds which were redeemed by sub
stitution OF other bonds known az
conversion bonds; that said registry
does not exhibit the number and amount
of such redeemed bonds as were after
wards re.issued and are now outstaud-
ing without authority OF law; that the
duty of examining such registry does
not devolve upon him and cannot be
forced by nandamus, and that if it were
his duty to make such inquiry. it would
not furnish the requisite date for the
performance Of the duty demanded.
The argument commences to-day at
Columbia. The State authorities are
confident OF maintaining their position.
