PERILS OF THE FISHERIES.
Loss of Life and Wrecks Dur
ing the Past Year.

BcSroX, December "a carefully
prepared report from Gloucester, Mass,
gives a feariul record of men lost in the
fisheries from that port, and of vessels
wrecked during the past year. The
is concerned, is entirely un-
precedented in the history
Of business. Scarcely a week during
the year but has witnessed some de-
struction. Thirteen vessels went down,
l43 men drowned, 56 women widowed
and $50 children were made fathcrless
by single February gale SoOverwhelm-
ing calamity cSuld not fail to awaken
fieneraI sympathy, and S2S,2l6 was
contributed to feed, clOthe and shelter
the survivors OF the lost mariners. The
February gale, however, furnishes but a
part of the direful history OF the Glou-
ceSter fisheries of 1879. In all, thirty
vessels, aggregating 1880 tons,
comprising over one-tenth part
of fishing tonnage OF the port, valued at
SllS,7S9 sailed TO return no more, and
24O lives were lost, leaving IS widows
and PIG fatherless children. There are
also two vessels now absent, for which
fears are entertained for their safety,
the Andrew Leighton and Harry G..
Mackey. If these do not soon return IL
will add % more 10 the number, swell
ing the fearful aggregate to 264 lives.
Since 1880. when the Georges fishery
first commenced, there have been lost
from this port 2,llS men and 4O5 yes
sells, valued at 81 1896, ,S99.

Common Sense VS.. Phariseeism

Correspondence OF the Register.
The title awarded by the htc'lgca-
Ger to the last Sundays audience at the
Opera House as being a boisterous one,
bowling and surging in the streets be-
fore the doors were opened, is hardly an
appropriate one. We claim that the
audience was made up by three-quarters
of workmen, one-eighth aristocracy and
one-eight OF boys, the latter occupying
tbs gallery. Now, il scven-eighths of
the auditors are to be made responsible
for the lewdness of few boys, and
epithets applied to them that be-
long to a mob, we would remind
the htsliqencer that the majority
OF said auditors constitute our best cit-
zens, that they are possessed of intelli-
gence and consequently read the news
papers, but may not be willing TO pat
rOniZe sheet not in coincidence with
their views. The show was, we have 10
acknowledge, a humbug, such as we
|. claim all spiritualism to be. Ii decent
theatrical play had been presented, we
could see no harm and no injustice
done thereby to the sacreduces OF Sun
day. The orthodox ideas OF the past
are diminishing, and cannot be applied
TO the majority of the present pOpulace.
Ii a person attends his church on the
Sabbath morning, gives sincere devotion
10 his religion, what harm could there
be done by attending decent theatrical
performance on Sunday night, and even
use the voice to express appreciation or
disapprOval thereof? For my part, !
wish to know whether an entertainment
on Sunday does the most harm to the
saCredness OF the Sabbath or the spicy
items written on the subject by the edi-
tor OF the IHteliigencsr for Monday morn
ing's iSsue7 Prof. Cook gave his exhi-
bitIon for money and the editor wrote
his items for money. Where is the dii-
ference? Cincinnati has at present put
a stop TO all shows on Sunday, that we
know; but we also know that she was
compelled so TO do on account of too
many variety dens OF the lowest grade
being there in existence. Ii such had
never sprung up, the Cincinnatians
would have had no objections to other
theatrical institutions. The whole
thing, however, is but a spasmodic
stoppage, and will be going on, may be
with the exception OF the disreputable
shows as usual in a short time. The
bigoted, illiberal views to spend the Sun
day from morning until late at night in
worshipping, doing away with all amuse-
ments OF any sort, is only adhered to by
a few reformed red-noses and crusaders,
and three-fourths of our citizens, like the
intellight workingmen, are adverse to
be led by the above type, as they per
haps have not so many sins 10 atone for,
and can afford to, although being strict
religious believers, enjoy little pleasure
on Sunday. WoRKINGNAN.

Report of the Grand Jury-In-
cendiary Burnings-NO Excite
ment, but a Calm Determine
ton to See Justice Done.
WELIsBuRG. December 9

WELLsBURG, December ..
The Grand Jury returned into court
the following indictments: State of West
Virginia VS.. II. j. Barbour, alias VIM.
Johnson, alias w. Barton, felony; State
ofWest Virginia VS.. Barney c. Jones, ,fel-
ony; State OF West Virginia VS.. Mrs.
Eliza J. st. Clair, false swearing; and
various indictments against Thomas
Cheek, George Fletcher, James john
son, Thomas Bell, David Parkinson and
George A. Parkinson, for arson and
burglary. David Parkinson, George A.
Parkinson, Thomas Cheek and James
Johnson are charged with burglarizing
the store of George Curtis in Bethany;
Thomas Cheek, George Fletcher, James
Johnson and Thomas Bell are charged
with setting fire to the stable OF John T.
Lauck, in Bethany; d. Parkinson, q. \.
Parkinson, Cheek and Johnson are
charged with another burglary OF the
store Of &. c. Curtis;
Thomas Cheek is charged with
burning Col. Campbel's barn, and
David Parkinson and Cheek are charged
with setting fire to Bethany College.
None OF the cases have as yet been set
for trial, except Barbour aias Johnson,
&c, which, being reported by the grand
Jury at nine o'clock Tuesday morning,
was set for trial the same day at one
o'clock, at which hour jury was inn
paneled and the case tried and sub
mitted, bat at the hour of closing our
report no verdict was rendered. The
ohense charged is the felonious taking of
a team of horses and buggy from
Speidel's llivery stable in Wellsburg. on
October lst, full account of which has
heretofore appeared in the REGISTER.
The local in Tuesdays HteUigcncer,
based on information given by gentle
man from Wheeling, who was in Wells
burg on Monday, stating that Wells
burg and the residents OF this county are
very much excited over the inCendiary
cases, is not correct, and nothing Oc-
CURED on Monday that would warrant
such statement. The people of Brooke
county are not given to undue excite
ment in any emergency, and they are not
so now. While they deplore these crimes
that have stained the fair reputation
OF our county, yet they want only the
guilty punished, and the innocent set
free. They want everything connected
with these incendiary cases thoroughly
Investigated, in order that justice may
be done, as well to the peace OF the
county as to individuals, and they will
give every man fair trial.
AS we stated on yesterday there were
lew persons,in town Monday, outside OF
Jurors and witnesses, and everything
passed off pleasantly. The people have
committed their cause TO the court and
jury and rest easy.

ayers Sold Out the Ticket OF
IS7G-The Grant Boom Boom
ing i'm Indiana.
Correspondence Of the Enquirer.
INDIANAPOLIs, IND, Dec. 6, 1879.
Governor Hendricks returned from
Washington last night, and was en-
gagged in the United States Courts all
day. l saw him this evening for few
minutes, during which submitted the
following question:
Governor, the Enquirer and other
papers have proposed a ticket OF Mr..
SEYMOUR and yourself. They all admit
your right to the Presidential nomina-
ton, but think you should sacrifice
your claimsfOr the party, and accept the
second place on the ticketF'
Il do not want the Vice Presidency"
he answered; "and have said it could
not be required of me To accept nomi-
nation for il. Any talk OF myself for
that place is wasted. The question OF
my making any supposed sacrifice Tor
my party has two sides. | was willing
To Weld To the wishes of the party IN
1876, and was elected. The Republi-
can managers said their candidate was
elected, and they meant to inaugurate
him. The Democratic managers sub
mitted the rights and decision of the
majority toa trial by politicians, giving
the other side majority OF the jury.
These are the facts, and the people
know them. think any good man can
be elected by the Democrats, and the
party shall have all the aid and intiu.
ence / can gixe to its nomineers. do
not regard myself as anecessily TO party
success.
The above is his answer verbatim. As
to the last sentence of his remark, |
must say that differ with him. II In
diana Is a necessity to Democratic sue
cess in 1850, then Mr.. Hendricks is a
necessity 10 the party. He, as part OF
the ticket, can carry Indiana, but no
other Democrat can. Mr. Bayard could
not carry the State by thirty thousand
votes. The same may be said OF any OF
the other gentlemen who have been
named, if Hendricks should not be on
the ticket; and as he refuses to accept
the second place, the party managers
can give the nomination TO whom they
list, but at their own risk. | happen TO
know a large number of conservative
Democrats who will vote the Republi-
can ticket if he is not nominated.
Gen. Grant
Will get the Indiana delegation in the
National Convention solid. The COM
bined influence of all the managers in
the State cannot resist the tide which
has set in for him. The people know
that he will accept the nomination, be-
cause ii he would not he would have
said so long ago, and thus relieved the
minds of other aspirants. Ii any one
doubts that the Grant boom has covered
the whole field in this State, let him
come here next Tuesday, and he will be
convinced.

Stanley Matthews Views on the Politica


New York, December The IIOrlfs
Washington special SAYS: stanley
Matthews left last night for Ohio. He
stated that he had no doubt General
Grant would be candidate for the
nomination OF the Republican conven-
ton, and believed he would get it. He
thought Ohio would present and sup
port Mr.. Sherman, but believed General
Grant would receive the support OF New
York, Pennsylvania and part OF New
England. He thought the outlying
States in the West and on the Pacific
slope would favor Blaine. He
stated he had noticed some
decline in the Grant tide since he ar
rived in Chicago, but was OF tine opinion
il wOuld rise and bear him successfully
into the Presidency. He believed the
South would be for Grant in the con-
yention, though Mr.. Sherman's candi-
dacy might somewhat divide il. As to
the Senatorial contest in his own state,
he was Of the opinion that the fight
would be ultimately narrowed 10 a con-
test between Garfield and himself. Gov.
Foster and Secretary Sherman professed
neutrality, and be believed them sim
cere in their profession. Both OF them
were out OF the race in any and every
contingency
