Our Dearly Beloved Senator, I. T. Reso-
lutes for Hayes-Now let him Crawl
up Something and Die, like Maggot

We see by the proceedings of the Ohio
Legislature, of last Friday. that DR.. /. T.
Monahan, the individual who misrepre-
sents this Senatorial District, had the
brass to offer for adoption batch of non
sensical nonsense, endorsing "the patri-
otic course of President Hayes, and
pledging him our earnest support"
The resolutions were adopted, all of the
Republicans and dauphools voting for
them and the Democrats against them.
We had thought that Monahan had
about quit acting the fool, and had set
tied down with the intention of making
some amends for past conduct, but it APP
pears he was only studying up plan
whereby he could render himself even
more worthless than he had been, and
we think he has done himself a firstclass
job. Now, let the Democracy of jackson
county call the worthless old cuss home
and lead him out behind dung hill and
shoot him on the spot, "burying him
where he fell, beneath his native soil"
The above Is from the Waverly Watch
man, a Democratic paper.

Was 1T ATTEMPTED SUIcIDE2-Yester-
day morning as the train was rounding
the corner of Market and Seventh streets,
a man attempted to throw himself under
the train, but was struck by the truck
and knocked to one side of the track, re-
ceiving several deep gashes in his head,
and other bruises, which rendered him
insensible. The injuries to his left arm
were such that amputation is necessary.
He was conveyed to the hospital. The
wounded man is said to bear the name Of
John Onion, and halls from Covington,
KY, from which place he is said to have
walked, on the Kentucky side. all the
way to Portsmouth, arriving here Thurs
day. 1t is stated that he has a brother
working in one of the rolling mills here,
and that last Thursday evening he told
him he intended to commit suicide. A
witness of the sad accident says the un-
| fortunate man advanced to the track,
and taking off his hat he waved it to the
bystanders, and then deliberately at
tempted to throw himself under the
wheels of the advancing train. No rea
son can be assigned for the rash act ex.
cept that he was despondent because his
mother, with whom he had been living
in Covington, Ky, had recently broken
up housekeeping, and that, with his long
and fatiguing walk, unseated his reason
and led to his attempt at selfdestruc
ton Portsmouth Times.

DEATH OF PIONEER FURNAcEMAE-Mr.
w. Z. S. McClain, proprietor of the Nc
Claim House, corner of Second and Jeffer-
son streets, died yesterday morning at a
quarter to one o'clock.
Mr.. McClain was the son Of sister of
the late Judge Salters, and was born at
Unionville, Fayette county, Pa, Sept. l6,
1911. He came to Ohio in 1881, locating
at Scioto Furnace, and was clerk and
manager of the furnace for about four
years. In 1887 he was married to Miss
Lucinda Powell, by whom he had four
children, three of whom are living.
Shortly after his marriage he removed to,
and became manager Of, Hecla Furnace.
After one or two years at Hecla, he re-
moved to Wheeleersbugh, and after few
years he went to Jackson Furnace, which
he managed four or five years In the
meantime his first wife dice, and on Dec.
90 1851, he married a widow, Mrs. Nancy
Spencer, by whom he had seven children
all of when, with his wife, survive him.
After parting with his interest in jack
son Furnace, he returned to Wheelers-
burg and kept grocery store and hotel
until April 1875, when he purchased the
property known as the White Bear Ho-
tel, corner Of Second and Jefferson
streets, in this city, which he has man
aged up to the time OF his death.
The Immediate cause of his death was
from lung-fever, he having been compel
led to take his bed last Saturday night
He injured himself last December while
cleaning heavy snow fall from his pave
ment, and has been in poor health ever
since.
The deceased became member Of the
NJ. T. Church twenty five years ago, un-
der the ministration of Rev. s. P. Cum
Minis. His funeral services will be held
in the Wheelersburg NJ. E. Church, at 9
o'clock tomorrow, and the remains will
be deposited in the family burying
ground hard by the village Ports
mouth Times.
We became acquainted with Eli Nc
Claim forty-fve years ago, when we were
a boy, at Scioto Furnace. We have occa-
ssonally met him since. When last in
Portsmouth, we called to see him. Mr..
McClain was a small, spare man, but he
possessed a vigorous constitution.

1t is now almost certain that the Scioto
Valley railroad will be completed from
Chillicothe to Portsmouth during the
present year. The contractor, Mr. Chap
man, who completed the road from Co
lumbus to Chillicothe, has been to Ports
mouth making arrangements for the
commencement of work. The original
agreement was for the completion of the
road by an early day, perhaps July l.,
1877. As the work was delayed, the sub
scribers are released, but an effort is be-
ing made to have the time extended.
We hope the people of Portsmouth will
renew their subscriptions on the zew ar
rangement.
The people of jackson county are
deeply interested in the completion Of
this road, as branch to our coal fields
would be made at once.

A horrible and distressing accident
occurred at Big Run School house in
Adams township, Tuesday noon, under
the following circumstances Two boys,
aged respectively about l6 years, sons of
Mr.. David A. Rumble and Mr.. Isaac Ma
son were preparing to take part in a
school exhibition, and on the day named
during the noon hour of school went
into the woods near the school house to
rehearse. In the course of the play
Rumble was to stab Mason with a large
knife which he had for the occasion.
Mason had his breast protected by
board, but by some means Rumble in
striking the blow missed the board and
stabbed Mason to the heart, killing him
almost instantly The parents and
friends of both parties are almost dis
tracted over his sad occurrence, and it
has cast deep gloom over the entire
We understand that no
blame whatever is attached to young
as the killing was entirely acci-
dental.-[ Marietta Times.

Frederick Douglas has been appointed
by President Hayes as Marshal of the
District of Columbia and confirmed by
the Senate. There were nine copper
head Senators mean enough to vote
against his confirmation. The Office is
worth from 1000 to $l2, 900 per year
This action of the new President does
not look much like he is going back on
the colored man. Only few years ago
Frederick Douglas was slave, according
to tho highest authority in the Demo
cratic party, piece Of property, possess
ing no rights which a white man was
bound to respect.

that Gilbert Bennett, of Webster. was
very sick, and on Tuesday we received
the following from Capt. Evans, Of Oak
Hill:

that old Gilbert Bennett. of Webster,

ninety years"
Mr. Bennett was another of those pi-

Stanley Matthews for U. S. Senator, to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the resigna-

Republican, then q Liberal" voting

nition for his valuable public services,
especially in the early days of the anti

too for the simple reason that he is well
qualified for the work to which he has

Senator Mcmillan, of Minnesota, has
received letter that sounds like voice
from the grave, protesting against a con-
ciliatory policy toward the South. On the
9th of the present month ID. A. Webber,
Tax Collector of East Feliciana Parish,

unknown. Senator Mcmillan receives
from the same Mr.. Webber the following
letter, dated March Sd, three days before
his death
my DEAR Mr.. SENATOR-I see by the
Associated Press dispatches that Presi-
dent Grant will not recognize Cove nor
Packard. 1t IS even asserted that Presi-
dent-elect Hayes is committed to such a
line of policy. If this should prove true,
if after our services to the nation we are
to be left in the hands of Nichols and
his murderers, you, Mr.. Senator, who
have had the opportunity to judge our
cause, will understand how soon the
murderers will begin their work. 1t
would be but few days work to wipe
out of existence every white Republican,
and with our downfall comes that of the
innocent negroes whose vote saved the
Nation. appeal to you, Mr.. Senator
not as Republican. but as as a friend OF
Justice, to do battle for those who are
powerless. Our lives, our property, and
the security Of our families depend upon
you, and those Of your conferers in the
Senate who understand our position
Since my return from New Orleans, and
my attendance upon your committees,

find a Republican who will be satisfac-
tory to large majority of the people

appointment, or in Csc of a contest over
the office, then | shall not hesitate to
step aside and select a person who, in
my judgment, will give satisfaction to

this kind. yet shall not consider myself

place, in a most brutal manner, shot his
little girl, two years old, through the
heart causing instant death, and attempt

left leg. No reason is known for the
fiendish act, though whisky is probably
the cause. The streets were crowded

lodged in the city prison, closely guarded.
A special grand jury at Tifin has
found two bills against Webel, one for
murder in the first degree, and one for
shooting with intent to kill.
