ling disclosures made by Thos. Graham
in the Camden, N. j., murder case have
awakened the liyeliest interest both here
aud in Camden. The police authorities
have been at work all day running out
the points in the confession, and tonight
the Prosecuting Attorney says that all Of
Graham's statements have been found 10
be true; that Graham even mentioned
matters which they knew nothing Of, and
these have also been verified. The case
now, so the Prosecutor OF Pleas says, is
ready for trial.
The trial Of Blasius Pistorius for the
murder Of Isaac Jacquett, at Norristown,
in July, 1876, was concluded 10 day, by a
verdict Of guilty Of murder in the first
degree. This Ia the second time that
pistorius has been tried for his life for
the same crime. After being found gull.
ty OF murder in the first degree in Mont.
gomery county, was appealed to the Su.
preme Court on the ground that the de-
fendant having been Catholic priest,
the religious prejudice prevented a fair
trial.

The Business Prospects OF Mar.
tins Ferry.

From the News.
It ia the general impression that the
outlook for the business Of Martins Ferry
ia better than at any time since the close
OF the war, or, in TACT, than II has ever
been. The Ohio City Nail Mill has been
purchased by company composed ot q
lew practical iron men ot Wheeling,
Bellaire and elsewhere, who are thor
ouehly conyersant with the business,
with abundant capital to enlarge and sue
cessfully carry on the business. The
reputation OF these gentlemen as careful,
experienced, practical manufacturers will
give this establishment u reputation
which II has never possessed; and the
very reduced price at which II has been
purchased, and the facilities ior the man.
ufacture OF cheap nails are almost certain
TO insure profitable business from the
start.
The very extensive and complete estab'
lishment heretofore known as the Excel
slor Glass Works has also changed hands.
hayinR been purchased by company Of
Wheeling capitalists and a large number
Of our best citizens, including several
gentlemen thoroughly acquainted with
the business, at perhaps % per cent OF It's
original cost; and backed up by perhaps
the largest capital Of any manufacturing
establishment either 10 Wheeling or on
this side Of the river; its success Is as
near assured as any manufacturing es-
tablishment can be.

Mr.. Calkins-The gentleman (Clymer)
has said that 1t would take wiser man
than he to tell where all the money for
the navy went 70. The gentleman has q
national reputation for being the great
Congressional explorer, and II he can't
tell I give II up.
Mr.. Banks said he had known OF the
speech made by the gentleman (Clymer);
for more than thirty years II had always
been made by the party out OF power and
the condition Of things had always been
defended by the party In power, but there
was nothing more evident than that the
United States Government should be
ready to take such position as It's honor
and interests would require; the time
was not far distant when 1t would be
obliged to defend on the seas It's flag and
its maratime rights, and 1t should be at
least prepared to d. so; the small
appropriation Of Sl,5000OO for the
construction and repair Of vessels was
not such an appropriation as should be
made. II there was anything discredita.
Bile in regard to the navy, 1t was in
such proposition. After further dis.
cussion Mr.. Danfords amendment was
rejected.
The Committee rose and reported the
bill without a single amendment, and It
was Immediately passed by the House.
Mr.. Hewitt, Of Alabama, moved 10 set
aside the regular order OF business Of the

up the Mexican pension bill. Rejected.

NnrNnsvu1r March 81.


ElItors Intellisencer.
Hon. G. s. McFadden is now moving
into bis fine new hotel. Having failed to
rent It, he takes charge Of It himself,
which is just as it should be, We think,
for he can make 1t pay, II any one can,
and Mac will be an obliging and accom-
modating landlord. Whether there will
be formal opening Of the house or not,
am not prepared to say, but suppose
that quiet possession will be taken, and
everybody seeing fit to stop will be made
at home at once.
The young gentlemen who were 80
sympathetic and congratulatory to their
friend, G. U. knight, who did no more
than any young man should do under the
circumstances, and what nearly all Of them
should have done long ago, are in some
respects to be pitied. 1t ia q we'll known

able young ladies in town 10 where there
is one gent, and any Of thesecould be had
for the pains Of asking, and still these
young men advertise themselves as
candidates ready for the halter
or rather victims for the altar.
They are to be pitied il they are really in
earnest, for they might have been mar
ried long ago. But We would advice
young ladies from distance not TO be
caught by the advertisement, for the Ia
dies at home have sworn almost that they
shall not 90 away from Moundsyille TO
hunt wives, while there ia such an abnnd-
ance OF good material athome. But boys

dings in the very best ot style and charge
you not one cent.
AS the first OF April approaches, nov
ing has already begun and will continue
until after that eventiul day. As far as
can learn there will be no vacant houses
this year in Moundsville, and a number
who could not rent satisfactorily are
building houses OF their own. This sure.
ly speaks well for our place. when we
hear from so many sources that there are
80 many vacant houses.
VIM. Blake, Esq, is erecting very
large brick building in the Upper Ward.
The building will contain II rooms, and
Ia designed Tor two families. It will be a
model Of neatness and convenience, and
it is Just the kind Of houses we need to
rent 10 those who come 10 sojourn but a
short lime with us. We hope to see many
more such soon.
The hardware establishment Of Richard
Ferrel, just opened in the Upper Ward,
Is about as complete store Of the kind
as is generally seen, and he has lots Of
customers.
