Death OF Roswell Marsh. ESQ.,.
Meeting Of the 1Sar =. Funeral
SCrVlccS..ACcilcnt.

SrEunENvfLLE, August II.
Editors inICllIsenCcr:
Roswell Marsh, one Of the oldest cili.
zens Of this city and a lawyer Of ConSid-
cradle prominence died this morning at
his residence, on the corner OF Seventh
and North streets, after n lingering and
painful illness, at the age Of eighty-iiye.
Father Marsh, ns he was fOmil iliarly
called, came to what Ia now the city Of
Steubenville in 1919 from Vermont, and
In the year following entered the law
Office Of General Sam. Stokely as a stu
dent. we might say here that this point
Ia disputed by some, they claiming that
lie had already been admitted 10 prac.
tice previous to his arrival In this place.
We think, however, that we are correct In
our statement that he entered ms n stu.
dent, and owing TO the iatl Of there being
no member Of the bar at that time now
living, we rCsotted TO the records
and the first case we find on The
appearance docket, where he appear
as attorney was In the case Of Brown
against MGholin at the November term,
1926, in connection with General Stokely
as associate counsel. For The last len
years Mr.. Marsh has not been actively
engaged in the practice Of his profession
having suffered during that time from
paralysis which nt times so affected his
articulation that II was with difficulty
that he could lie understood. Although
his death was not unexpected yet the
announcement Of IL this morning caused
a feeling Of profound regret among his
many friends. Mr.. Marsh was one
Of oiir solid representative men, just and
liberal In all his transactions, friend ia
the iriendless, and many young and pros
porous members Of the profession can TO-
day date back their successful start in the
world to the generosity and kindness re.
ceived at his hands. lie was universally
loved, esteemed and respected in this
community for his many good qualities
Of head and heart, whose whole life was
devoted-so far as he had power--to the
advancement and prosperity. Of our city
A meeting Of the bar was held in the

from Billy Forester, the prisoner at
Joliet who recently made a statement
concerning the Nathan murder. In this

Sing to see George Ellis, then accused Of
the murder, was himself tue man who
put up the murder, and knows the names
Of the men who did the deed.

this from leaving horses unhitched on our

Fiendlsh Outrage by a Seducer

PHILADELPHIA, August ia well
known wealthy married man named John
L. Hates was before magistrate to-day
charged with a fendish aSSualt on Miss
Pemberton. II appears that Hates se'
duced her when abe was fifteen years old
and she claims that he has held her In a
life Of semi.slavery ever since. Recently
she attended a picnic without bis permiS.
sion, and when abe returned he charged
her with infdelity and knocked her
down, beat her in q brutal manner, and
then tore all the clothes of her person,
and after pouring burning fluid on her
set Gre to her and attempted to burn her
alive, but the interference Of other people
In the house prevented his contamination
Of his designs. On Friday evening last
he whipped her In q brutal manner and
said that he would disagure her 80 that
she would never be able to go out Great
efforts were made by interested parties 10
keep the details Of the affair from the
public. Hates was held In 81, 200 bail for

THE TEXAS RAILROAD.

The recent consolidation Of tin
! interests of the State Of Louisian:
and the mortgage bondholders in the
| New Orleans e. Texas Railroad wa.
generally looked upon as auguring
f;,vorably for the resumption of work
and speedy completion of the road
but former disappointments have
made us skeptical and we doubt if the
new movement will produce any diff
ferent effect from that Of . score Of
others heretotore-that is, much talk
and no work. We hope, however,
that this anticipation may prove err
roneous, as no one recognizes more
fully the Importance of railroad COM
munication with Texas than our
selves, and no paper would more
gladly hail resumption Of work up
OH our abbreviated "Texas" road.
o-called, than will the CHIEF. One
thing is apparent in connection with
this matter: no more favorable time
than the present could he chosen for
pushing this road forward. The Leg
islature of Texas recently passed an
act requiring the Texas & New Or
leans Railroad Goa corporation that
has already completed a road from
Houston to Orange, JOB miles-to ex-
tend their line to the Sabine river
within a certain time after the 18th
of this month, or forfeit their charter.
The stockholders of the company
have notified the government of their
acceptance Of the provisions of the
law referred to, and guarantee to fin
ish their road within the prescribed
delay. If the parties interested in our
local railroad will only follow the ex-
ample Of Mrs. Dombey, famed in fic-
ton, and "make an EFFORT" it seems
to US arrangements might be made to
push on to the Sabine and meet the
road which the Texas company will
build to the same stream. Our New
Orleans correspondent, in his letter of
this week, refers to movement for
combination of Northern
and Southern capitalists with view
OF securing railroad from New Or
leans to Texas, and thinks it "may
lead to practical results" We hope
it will.
