The Death of John T.. Cochran.
Some Theories. How it Might have
Occurred.

Our Bridgeport correspondent, with his
usual energy has been examining into the
circumstances of the death of the young man
Cochran, who was found recently in the river
at Wheeling. He furnishes us the following:
Nothing specially new has been developed
in regard 10 the sad taking off of young Coch-
ran, found dead in the river last week. We
interviewed the dead mans brother freely in
reference to the case and learned nothing
particularly new or different from the first
published accounts of the affair, except
thls-It had appeared strange to many that
Mr.. Cochran had gone strolling up the river
alone in the evening of the day when last
seen. The fact is, he had all his plans laid to
go to Cambridge the evening Of the morning
when he came to his death. He left Bellalre
on the steamer Courier, at about 2 O'Clock in
the morning for Wheeling, and arrived at the
city at about or little after, and then,
doubtless. as he had told his friends in Bell
aire he would do, he started on his Inflated
trip to his brother-in-law, who lives mile
above Martins Ferry, on the Virginia side.
Mr. Gardner informs us that Mr.. Cochran
had written him that as he had not visited
them for long time he would be to see him
before his marriage, and was evidently on his
way thither early in the morning when he
met his d. ath. His plan was to see them
and his fathers folks that day, and take the
evening train for Cambridge, when next day
he was to be married. His hat was found
about hundred yards below where his body
was discovered 1t had evidently been in the
water, as there WAS sand in it. Still, his
brother SAYS, that while there are some suspi-
cions developing the fact of his death, it is yet
enshrouded in impenetrsble mystery. Did
the men who discovered his body floating in
the river, and towed it to Wheeling wharf, go
for the pockets of the man, and get his mon
ey, thus accounting for the absence of the
funds he was known to have about him? Ii
they did, still how came he to die and be
found in the water? If he was killed, why
did his murderers leave his valuable watch
and jewelry on his person?-or could it have
been suicide from some reason to the world
unknown, and his pockets relieved of his
money by the parties who found him, thus
accounting for the absence of that which
formed the motive for his murder?

Tie Flyers in Cleveland.

AS many of our readers take Just pride in
the success of Belmont county horses, we clip
from the Cleveland Herald, of Thursday, the
account of the great pacing race in that city,
in which ''Sleepy George the well-known
Belmont county favorite was the winner,
against some of the fastest PAGERS in the Uni.
ted States. The Herald account is as follows:
The starters in this race were Bay Sallie,
Sleepy George, Sweetzer, and Lucy, taking
positions in the order as given.
First heat-They got the word after three
or four attempts, getting off with Sweetzer
and Sleepy George a little the best of it and
nearly even, and Lucy behind. They kept
those relative positions until near the half,
when SweetZer broke, which sent George
ahead and insured him the heat. Sweetzer
soon recovered himself and shortened his dis
tance from the lead somewhat for a time, but
he broke again before the last quarter was
reached, letting Lucy and Sallie go by, and
it was only by running that he reached the
distance pole, for which he was declared dis
tanced. Lucy came in about three lengths
behind the winner. Time-:35, Ill, LAG,
2:214.
Second heat-The three survivors got off in
good shape, but long before the quarter was
reached George took good lead, with Sallie
at his wheels, and Lucy a length or so be-
hind. These positions were changed, howev.
er, beforL the half was reached by some mag
nifcent work on the part of Lucy, who sailed
up by Salie and closed up with her head
nearly to Georges wheels. From that on the
contest was grand one, and was especially
so coming up the home stretch. There was
no time on the last quarter when ths winner
had a sure thing of it, and it was only when
they came under the wire that Georges hackers
breathed freely, rs Lucy was not head be-
hind. 1fme-:35, 1:09, 1:44 2:1S.
Third heat-This heat and the race was SET
tied long before the first quarter was reached.
George pulled in ahead, and Lucy came up to
his wheels, but in pulling out to get around
Lucy broke, which threw her away back so
as to render her chances hopeless so far as the
first place was concerned. The only contest
then was bet ween Lucy and Sallie for second
place, Sallie's driver applying the whip Wig
nrously up the home stretch, but TO no purpose,
as Lucy came in length ahead. Time :35,
1:22, 1:47, 2:214.

The Soldiers and Sailors Reunion at New

THEY have torn down their old Jail in Mon
roe county and are rebuilding. Outlaws in
that region apparently expecting that the de-
struction of the jail would keep them out Of
the clutches OF the law, have recently been
guilty of some high-banded outrages. Last
week brute in the shape of man named
Joseph Kurig, was arrested and breght to Our
Jail, charged with attempting a rape upon a
little girl aged four years and ten months old.
On the same day he attacked a young lady
upon the public road and made persistent
and desperate attempt to. outrage her person,
throwing her down three times, but she sue
ceeded after fierce struggle in freeing her
self from his grasp and telling him to the
earth with a stone and escaped. The Woods
field Spirit says that Kurig is about so years
of age, and is possessed of as villainous 6
countenance as was ever formed by the Crea
tor, or fashioned by the hand of man. The
public is to be congratulated that such char
acter is now where he can do no harm.

The body of man was found on Tuesday
morning in the c. & r. railroad cut in the 5th
Ward, Bellaire, most terribly mangled-the
chest, one shoulder and one leg being literally
crushed and a hole in the back part of his
head An inquest was held by Coroner Gar
rett, and the remains proved to be those of
Michael Tucker an employe Of the BenwOod
blast furnace but a resident of Bellaire; he
was up at Wheeling on Aenday drawing his
pay when he unfortunately became intoxi-
Gated and hadte be led of the ferry beat on
the Ohio shore. He was last seen alive walk
ing down the river road little before dark,
and at the upper end of Gravel Hill left the
road and took the railroad track, down which
he walked about midway when he probably
sat down OF laid down on the track and was
struck by the downs s: 80 train and was thrown
up the bank, rolling back into the side ditch
where he was found at daylight in the morn,
ing. Another theory is that he was foully
dealt with as the engineer of the train, al
though keeping a sharp lookout, discovered
no obstacle on the track. he leaves wife
and four children. sz.. - --r

LAss Friday an old school house short
distance west of Flushing, occupied by a
widow named Smith as residence, caught
fire, it is supposed, from the explosion of
kerosene lamp, during her absence, and burn
ed to the ground. But for the timely dis
covery of the fire by neighbor lady, two
small children, who were asleep and locked in
the house, would have burned to death. The
bed clothing was on fire, when the door was
hursted open, and the children rescued. An
other warning to mothers not TO leave small
children in a house alone.

ALTHOUGH wool only brings about IS ceHts
per pound, farmers are now securing the
country for more sheep. Hay, grain, pasture
and wintering for sheep is in such abundance
that it is highly necessary to look up stock OF
some kind to consume it, and at the same
time bring in creditable revenue. The
price is not remarkable, but the trade is lively
and great many are changing hands.
