The Conservative STATE Convention
having made no nomination for Gov
ernor, our only choice is between the
two Republican candidates Green or
Chamberlain.
Basing our action upon the past re-
cord of the two men, we decide unhes
itatingly in favor of the former, and
think every lover of good government
will do the same.

A Self Alleged Niece OF an I'm
named Ex-pres.dent In Extreme
Poverty.
Several Brooklyn la,lies have
been interested ia the case OF u
young woman whose story seems
almost incredible, She claims to
be the niece Of nn eX-President,
cousin ola prominent and wealthy
Tn ted States official, and a sister
in law ola professor of mathelnat-
les. Her uncle, she says, was a
widower during his term of Office,
and her mother presided as the
lady Of the White House. Her
father served during the war as
a General ia the Confederate
Army. His family were scattered
by the vic.ssitudes OF fortune
Congressman Stevens of Kentucky
she says, sought employment
for her in the Government service.
She then went to Baltimore as IA
nursery governess, and afterwards
came to Brooklyn, were she says
she was married TO a man who
deceived and deserted her.
Through the influence of Mayor
Powell, who learned of her for
Torn condition, she was admitted
to a hospital. While there her
infant died. When she became
convalescent, an unknown woman,
calling upon her. proved herself
to be the lawful wife of the man
who had married The former, and
pleaded that the fellow should
be prosecuted. This was agreed
to-, and wife No. re-
NAMED and nursed No. 2.
Then the latter engaged in service
as housekeeper, but her health
again faile and she has since
been a homeless wanderer. Some
times she has been forced to 90 to
the police station houses for lodg-
ing.
Recently she has been sheltered
by acquaintance. Her story
seemed beyond belief but inves-
tigation proved itsapparent.truth
Her relatives were called upon
and acknowledged her, and
declined doing anything for her
relief, and would give no reason
for their indifference They allege
nothing against her character, nor
has anything been found to stain
her good name.
The unfortunate woman had
been informed that her marriage
was mockcry, but she insists that
it was real and true. She was
educated at the Mount de Sales
Convent Academy. She is Of low
stature, not good looking, has a
pale, scrrowful face and lustrous
gray eyes. The poor creature her

ways occurred Tuesday afternoon
about two o'clock that we ever
witnessed. 1t appears Mr.. Boltz
was taking a four horse load of
hickory timber to the axe and pick
handle mandatory, and when on
the bridge near the railroad cross
ing, the engineer of a passing en-
CINE very foolishly opened the
whistle and blew such blast that
the horses became frenzied with
fright, and turning short around,
twisted off the wagon tongue, and
so sudden and short was the turn,
that the iron links fastening the
single tree to the spreader was
broken, and the horse, a powerful
grey with the single tree attached,
ran up Queen street, keeping the
pavement on the right side, going
south, its entire distance, and
making pedestrians scamper for
dear life. The pale horse and his
rider coul d not have created more
CONSERVATION, and had it been a
sdmmer day, with the little folks
out for their airing, many would
inevitably been killed, for the
powerful maddened animal, fol-
lowed by the heavy, swinging sim
gle-tree, would not either respect
old age or tender infancy. Strange
to say, the fleeing horse and the
bouncing and humping of the sim
gle-tree frightened the horses at
tached to six wagons, all of which
were standing between Martin and
Burke streets, and only one with a
driver in attendance. Such a scam
pering we have never witnessed,
and at one time two four horse
wagons were on their sides, and
one team struck the Adams Ex-
press wagon in front of Matthew's
green grocery, and emptied its
contents on the pavement. A few
minutes after, we saw several
teams standing on Queen street
without any attendant, and with
out being hitched. In order that
officers and people may know what
the penalty is for such IN offense,
we publish the following ordi-
nance; which is section 5 of chap
ter 8 of the Ordinances of Martins
burg:
SEC. 5. If the owner or driver,
or person having charge of any
wagon, cart, dray, carriage, or
other fOur-wheeled vehicle, or of
any sled or sleigh, shall suffer the
horse or horses, or other animals
attached thereto, to run away with
the same in this town. through any
negligence or want of proper care
or shall suffer such horseor horses,
animal or animals to stand on any
street, alley or public square in
this town, without being properly
fastened by the bride or reins, or
without having some person to
watch the same and prevent their
starting, every person SO offend
ing shall forfeit and pay to the
town a fine of not less than one
nor more than ten dollars for
every snch offence.
