Some days ago the body of a man was

Odessa, New Castle county, Delaware, and

he was foully dealt with and robbed, and

THE NEWSPAPER NATIONAL CAPITAL VI
Ashtabula telegraph. (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1874-1880, 1874-02-21
ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.
From the Geneva Times.

rEOm Ln6 GeueVd 1lIues
Caleb Chapman the Oldest citizen
of Morgan, Ashtabula county, Ohio,
passed away at his residence in Nor
gan on the 9th inst, in the 8Oth
year of his age.
He was among those of whom the
citizens of Morgan make earnest
and honorable mention, as among
the hardy pioneers of this county,
who dared the forest solitude and
cheerfully welcomed the hardships
and tolls, and bore the privations
necessary to establishing the first
homes in this, their wilderness coun-
try.
Young Chapman came to Morgan
in the Spring of 18O4-seventy years
ago. Without capital, save strong
hands, steady industrious habits,
stern courage and idomitable perse-
verence, he set himself to lay the
foundations of home IN the wilder
ness.
Casting about for an investment
of his practical capital he stlpula-
ted with one of the early land hold
ers for one hundred acres of wild
land for the consideration of chop
ping and clearing eighteen acres.
With this heavy, honest toll he tri-
umphed over his first want, and laid
the foundation of his forest home.
Here he erected his log cabin and
garnished it with the romantic ac-
Compartments of pioneer house
keeping. He on the last of Decem-
Der, 1911, married Deborah Knowl-
town, of Morgan, and established
his mistress of this home of toll
and promise. With time, persever-
ing industry, and economy their
wilderness home was made to bud
and blossom as the rose; fully de-
veloping in early promise.
Caleb Chapman was a man of
sterling integrity, against whose
fidelity to truth and honor no MUIR
muir is heard.
He was among those who lost
heavily by the failure of the Ashta-
bula 6 New Lisbon Railroad com
pany, which did not, however, ma
terially embarrass him.
By persevering honest toll he ac-
quired an easy competence for his
declining years and leaves his be-
reaved companion, of more than
three score years, with a full hand
for all the comforts and needful
luxuries for the happy filling up of
the remanent of life.
Mr.. Chapman commenced his re-
ligious career more than half a
century ago, connecting himself
with the old Presbyterian church,
under the pastorate of Rev. H. G.
Cewles. Upon the reorganization
of the church, Mr.. Chapman cher
ishing his preferences for the old
Presbyterian church, declined en-
tering the new organization.
During the last years of his life,
severe deafness nearly deprived him
of the pleasures of social intercourse.
In this bereavement, he betook him
self to that higher intercourse of
communing with God through his
word, which he made his almost
constant companion. In speaking
of his own religious state, he ex-
pressed great self-distrust and yet
had clinging trust in the only
Savior of sinners, saying, 81 am
nothing and can do nothing of my
self-my only trust is in the great
Savior of sinners" With him, the
voyage of life is past, and we trust
his anchor holds secure within the
vale. COM.

The Gear of Russia is like Rever-
dy johnson and other ordinary NOR
tails in a proneness to make extrava-
giant speeches after a good dinner.
At the banquet on Sunday, when he
entertained the Prince of Wales and
the Emperor of Austria, Alexander,
who must have been drinking deeply
of Russian tea, made a speech prom
ising that he, Francis Joseph, Victo-
ria, and William would preserve the
peace of the world. Francis Joseph
said ditto, and the Prince of Wales,
too much affected for speech, bowed
a silent assent. The scene was one
of solemn Joy, and seems to have
been undisturbed either by memories
of Sebastopol, or Sadowa, or Sedan,
or by any thought of Russian and
British rivalries in the East, or the
fast-growing feeling in Germany
that France must be whipped again,
or any such trifes which will have
quite as much to do with the future
peace of the world as the royal good
humor that follows royal good din

DARING forgeries were thrust
upon the members of the New York
Stock Exchange, on Tuesday, which,
had the authors intent been success
full, would have played havoc with
values on 'Change. Letters pur-
porting to have been written by
VIM. Orton, President of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company, and
]. Z. Cox, President of the Toledo,
Wabash and Western Railroad Co..
announcing an increased issue of
stock, were handed to the presiding
officer of the Exchange on that day,
who happened to be Moses H. Whee-
lock, Vice President, and they were
read after the second call of stocks.
Fortunately the forgeries failed of
their object.

ENJoNED-A correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial has inter-
viewed Judge Stafford of Hillsboro,
O., who granted the injunction
against the praying women of that
town, upon the application of W. FL.
Dunn, the druggist. Judge Stafford
did not hesitate to declare that he
granted the injunction because the
singing and praying were a public
nuisance. According to Judge SAT-
ford, DR.. Dunn has one of the largest
and most costly drug stores in the
State. He has never sold liquors to
be drank upon the premises, or to
minors and drunkards, and his sales
are in quantities greater or smaller,
as NAV be incidental to his general
business. The Judge stated that
there was no objection to singing and
praying when they were conducted
so as not to disturb private rights or
public tranquility, and added:
When such worship is made the
pretext of breaking up a mans law
fal trade; or interfering with the qui-
ct and peaceful enjoyment of his own
property; of bringing him into pub
lie ridicule and disgrace; of defam-
ing his calling and character, and
this without intermission for six
consecutive weeks in the storms and
cold of winter, creating heartburn
ings among neighbors, defamation of
private character, and an unsettled
state of society, that, sir, is a nui-
sance
