An Affecting Scene.

Yesterday, Theodore Wallace, father
of the lynched John w. Wallace, and
George Wallace, who Is in jail here
awaiting his trial, which will begin
shortly in Wetzel county, arrived in tie
city and is stopping with his brother,
Alexander Wallace, lookup keeper.
Mr.. Wallace is about five feet six inches
in height, is forty-nine years OF age,
has iron gray beard and
hair spotted with gray. He
has q prominent forehead and very In
telligent countensnce. He is not an ed
ucsted man, but talks exceedingly well,
80 we'll that one would believe him to be
a man far ahead of the average farmer
in education. When he visited the Jail
to see his son George, those wlo wit
messed the meeting report it as an affect
lug scene. Both are said to have wept
freely. Mr.. Wallace is thoroughly con-
WINGED that George was not cogniZant OF
the fact of the murder before the deed
was committed by John, whom Mr.. Wal
lace believes to be the guilty one. He
saws that he will spend all he
has in order to clear George, but
would not have done anything for John,
had he been allowed to live TO have 4
trial, although he regretted very much
that John had been lyncbed without a
lawful hearing. Our informant, who re-
ports having conversation with Mrs.
Wallace, mother of the unfortunate
John, says that she told him that John
was al ways kind hearted boy to her and
his sisters, never having spoken an
ugly or cross word to either Of them.
Mr.. Wallace is here for the purpose of
securing legal counsel for his son George.

He Wanted to Die.

A young man who Is about nineteen
years of age, and who resides on Market
street between Eleventh and Twelfth.
concluded yesterday that he had lived
and suffered long enough. Shortly after
dinner behaving first disposed OF q
hearty mesl-started around to bid some
of his friends and associates last fare
well To each one he told his
designs, and hoped that one day he
with the rest, might meet in q
better world. where sin and sorrow were
strangers TO the inhabitants. Each one
to whom he talked, trested the whole
thing rs an attempt to joke. When he
was through bidding his friends farewell,
he started out TO the Peninsula grave
ys.d, where he afterwards told friend
that had followed him, that he intended
to commit suicide at his mother, grave.
His friend succeeded in getting him to
return home, but he had not been their
long, before he left and started up Mar
ket street TO Twelfth then toward the
Suspension bridge, with the determina
ton, we suppose, to end life's fttul fever
by sailing from the bridge into eter-
nifty by means OF the river. In
this he was prevented by
the before mentioned friend whom
we saw chasing him around the brick
piles on Tenth street, st the old Grant
House ruins. Probably by the time he
had run around the brick pile several
times, he became so much heated that
he feared to jump into the river lest he
should suffer from cold. We would
advise the young man to desist from
committing the rash act, unless he de.
sires to have his name appear in print,
which we will surely place there If he
persists in his desire TO destroy his own
life.

STEUBENvILLE, 0 March &c.
A very sad and fatal accident happen.
cd Yesterday forenoon to Mr.. James w.
Morrow, a well-known farmer of Han
cock county, w. Va, residing near Free
mans Landing. lie was cutting timber
on his place and hauling it to saw mill
near by, and left the woods with
log sixteen feet in length
and two feet in diameter,
chained on timber sled, the rear end
dragging on the ground. Mr.. Morrow
Was seated upon the log, driving, when
he came to a slaDting place in the road
which caused the s.ed to tilt over and
the log to roll of. 1t .ell directly across
Mr.. Morrow and crushed the life cut Of
him. No one witnessed the accident,
but some people living near, noticing hi,
team standing for some time at the place,
and seeing no one around them, went
over to learn what the matter was. AS
no internal injury was discovered, it is
supposed that he was smothered TO death.
Mr.. Morrow was about 43 years Of age,
and in 1869 was married to Miss Emma
Trago, IN St. Paul's Church, this city, a
sister of Mrs. w. A. Walden. He had
three children, all boys, the eldest about
eight years Of age and the youngest two.
The deceased was we'll known in this
city. He will be buried in Stone Church
graveyard tomorrow, on Cave Hill.
A suit for $4,000 damages will be
tried in our Common Pleas Court next
term, Frank Powell, by his next friend,
Henry Powell, brings suit aginst the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, oper-
ating the Cleveland and Pitts burgh
road, for injuries received about one year
ago at Browns station, few miles above
this city. At tie time stated, he
(the plaintitf), who ia about eight years of
age, had his right arm cut off, the left
arm and the rest Of his body badly mu-
tllated by being thrown beneath the
wheels OF q moving train. VIM. ?.
Hays and w, A. Owesney, ESls., are for
the plaintiff and Hon. j. Dunbar and
George Reilly, Esq. tor the defendant.
The fight for the next Republican Con-
gressonal nomination in this district il,
becoming lively. The most prominent
aspirsnts in this county are DR.. L. Upde-
graf, OF Mt Plessant, ond Hon. j. Dun
bar, OF this city. Both are trimming
Their sails and getting ready for
the race. 1t is going to be pull
Dick, pull Devil" between them. So
eager are they to gain vantage over each
other that they don't appear to consider
that there arc any opponents outside of
this county. Both are very good men
and will command strong support In
their party, but if they don't pay more
attention TO other candidates outside Of
this county and less to antsgonizing each
other, some one from Belmont or hsr-
rison will step in and leave them both
out in the cold. Perhaps it would be as
we'll, however, for that might cave them
the disappointment OF being defeated at
the general election next fall.
