CLEVELAND, O., March GA Leader
special from Youngstown contains til
following:
Charles NJ. Sterling, who was to have
been hung tomorrow March 2S) for the
murder two years ago Of a young German
girl named Lizzie Grumbacker, was yes
terday respited by Governor Young until
the 2lst Of April next. The mystery
which has surrounded the accused was
to-day intensified by parties who claim to
be his mother and brother, from Max
well, Ontario, arriving in town and visit
ing him in Jail. He has since his second
trial claimed that his parents resided
there, and gave the names Of different
members Of the family, and to-day wher
his supposed mother was taken in hil
presence she rushed forward to embrac,
him, when he coolly drew back saying
she was not his mother, he never knew
her, had never seen her and had never
been in MAXWELL that his name was moi
Charles Sterling and that he had invented
the story he has told so often; that he was
intimate with the real Charles NJ. Ster.
ling and has assumed his name. Mrs,
Sterling is positive this is her son, though
he left home seven years ago. The
mother tried to mention incidents thai
would make him remember her, and be,
sought him not to add this 10 the crime
Of which he is accused, and with tears i'm

Transfer OF Freight Across the
River.

A party OF officials connected with the
Cleveland & Pittsburgh Railroad came
down in special car yesterday morning,
and spent part Of the day reconnoitering
the shore above and below Martins
Ferry with a view to ascertaining the
feaBibility Of transferring coke and ore in
bulk across the river to the mills and
furnaces on this side.
Although this project Is not a new one
by any means with the c. & ?. people, yet
it is supposed that the interest lately
stirred up by the prospective extension
Of the Tuscarawas Valley road to West
Wheeling, and the talked Of transfer ol
freight on flats TO this side from that
point, has something to do with the visit
Of yesterday. We ventured to suggest the
other day to the c. &P. officials that now
was good opportunity for them 10 come
down gracefully, while yet there was time
to ingratiate themselves in the affections
Of the iron men, and not wait until the
TuscarOwas Valley road was built before
providing some better means Of supplying
their heavy customers on this side of the
river.
There are those who nistrust that the
visit Of the Cleveland and Pittsburgh
officers does not really mean business, but
is rather Intended as blind to put u
damper on the interest Of Wheeling in
the completion Of the TuscarawaR Val
ley road. 1t is intimaled that nothing
will be done, although Il show OF doing
something win be made, and that il the
rival project falls through we will be
left just as we are now. This is not d
very complimentary view of yesterdays
visit but it ia one that has good deal oil
human nature in il. Such strategic Wis.
its have occurred beiore'in the experience
ofmankind, and they are always liable to
occur again.
AT all events, whether the c. &P.
people really mean business or not, the
friends OF the Tuscarawas Valley road
are not likely to let their interest die
down on that account. They are now
arranging for an excursion over the line
next Monday from UrichsviIle to the
Lake, and expect to take good number
Of Wheeling and bridgeport business
men over the road in special car
starting from Mingo on the Panhandle
road.
