Mr.. GETTINGER AND THE
USURY BILL.

We last week gave the vote in the
House Of Delegates, on the Usury
Bill in which it appears that Mr..
Gettinger voted against the bill. 1t
is but justice to say that Mr.. G.. in
casting his vote explained by saying
he had determined in Difference to
the wish of large number, possibly
a majority of those who elected him,
to vote for the bill, recognizing as he
did, the representation duty of a
member in it's fullest sense, but by a
recent decision Of the U. s. Supreme
Court it had declared that National
Banks could not be subject to the
resolution of the States with refer
ence to Usury, further than to for
fixture Of the excess of interest, and
as this bill declares the bond and
interest forfeited, it wouldbe making
privileged class of the National
Banks, and therefore could not sup
port it, and believed that his people if
aware of this decision, would not
desire him to do so.

Four Wives Of Unusual
Beauty.

BROOKLYN, Dec. 30.-Mr. Thos.
w, Field, Superintendent of Pub =
lie Schools, was married last even
ing to Miss Alice Martin.
This is Mr.. Fields fourth mar
riage, and each one of his wives
have been women of unusual per-
sonal beauty His first wife,
Miss Charlotte Weir, was sister
to the artist, and her fame as a
beautiful woman has been pre-
served in the vignette on the
back of the $50 greenback which
was drawn by her brother. The
second Mrs. Field was Miss Anna
futile, a school teacher.
The marriage was in Newburgh,
and Immediately after the cere-
mony the pair took the train for
New York. The train was run
into by another train; several cars
were telescoped, and the beauti-
full bride of a few hours was killed.
1t was one of the most dis strous
railway accidents known in this
country, resulting in a terrible
loss of life. Mr.. Field escaped
uninjured.
He sued the company?for S., 900
for the death of his wife, and OBJ
tanned judgment in the lower
courts, but one appeal it was set
aside on the novel plea of the nom
consummation of the marriage.
Mr.. Fields third wife was Miss
Emeline Van Sicklen. whom he
welded when she was sixteen
years old. From her he was re-
Gently divorced. Miss Martin,
who was last night made Mrs.
Field, is lady of fine accomplish
mentS and attractive beauty.

~ the Editors Of the Independent
Allow citizens of Strinesville
through the columns of your valua-
BILE paper to reply to a cOmmunica-
tion in your paper of the 28th, in re-
ference to lawlessness in Strinesville.
The author Of that article cannot be
a citizen of Strinesville. If he is he
does not know what part Of Martins
burg constitutes Strinesville. He
must remember that that part of the
town that he compares to Give
Points," New York is not nor never
was in Strinesville. That place
which he compares to Five Points is
the s. w. corner Of Queen and Mar
tin streets. Pass that corner when
you will you can hear blackguard-
ing, both by men and boys; now sir
as for Strinesville the author of that
article and the public must know
that Strinesville commences at ID. G.
Byer's alley, and all north of that
alley constitutes Strinesville, east of
that alley is and always was known
as MartinSburg and as for the par
ents Of those blackguards as he terms
them we will say something for them.
Those children are like the author of
the five points article. When boy
he was comfortable when III sight
of his parents, but when out of sight
the devil himself could not control
him. Now sir as for Strinesville to
bear the opprobrium of unciviliza-
ton and unrespectability we want
the author of the five points article
to understand that there are as re-
spectacle and as civilized people liv-
ing in Strinesville as there are in
Martinsburg. Now sir as for rowdy-
ism and lawlessness we never had
any of it in Strinesville either by
white OF colored citizens, only what
was done by roughs from up town.
AS for the boys depreciating the
value of property in Strinesville they
never will do it ! Not Strinesville
boys, no never. If the citizens of
Martinsburg don't believe it let them
visit us often, late and early, and
they will find out how the boys of
Strinesville are raised. AS for police
we don't see them but twice year
that is when they go around posting
up tax notices. We don't want
them. We have no use for them.
We citizens of Strinesville are a law
abiding set of people.
