INFANTICIDE.-In the absence of any
camp-meeting, Burr's Mills has come tC
the front with a sensation, which will
probably last them until August. Or
Tuesday night of last week a young
| woman named Anna Morehead, aged
about 10 years, the daughter of poor but
respectable parents, gave birth to an i'll
legitimate child. She chose as her lying
in place the garden attached to theiI
humble home, where about eleven O'Clock
at night, unattended and alone, she be-
came mother, after which she went
back in the house. According to the
story of the girl, the new born babe was
left where it was born, upon the. cold
earth with no cover save the canopy OF
heaven, until about four o'clock in the
morning, when she returned to the gar
den and carried the child to a straw pile
close by and concealed it. The next morn
ing about 8 o'clock the mother of the girl,
being in the neighborhood of the straw
pile, discovered dead infant half un-
covered in the straw. Having noticed
some strange actions on the part of her
daughter that morning, the truth flashed
upon her mind that it was her, child,
and she was accused of its maternity.
which she at once acknowledged. The
body was taken to the house and neigh
bors were apprised of the affair, and af-
ter consultation, it was determined to
advise the Coroner and have an inquest
over the body. Accordingly, Esquire
John Twinen was sent for and Coro-
ner's inquest was held. Marks of yio-
lence were shown upon the bOdy-there
being a cut on the head, and the discol-
oratiOn of its neck, indicated that it had
been choked. The medical skill of Drs.
Schooley and Grafton was brought into
requisition, and a post mortem was held.
An examination of the lungs showed
that atmospheric air had been inhaled.
and that the probabilities were that the
child had been born alive. Acritical
examination of the girl by the ju-
ry was had, but she disclaimed any
violence. It's paternity was placed to
the credit of L. C.. Talbert, who has re-
Gently married minister's daughter in
Noble county, and son of Wm Talbert,
where the unfortunate girl had resided
for some time as domestic.
On Thursday the jury returned YER
dict that the deceased came to its death
by violence or neglect at the hands of
its mother, but owing to the condition
of the girl, no warrant of arrest was is
sued, and on the following Monday night
she left home, probably to get out of the
clutches of the law A compromise was
effected with the reputed father, he pay
ing costs of burial, $15, to the father for
his trouble, $40 to the physician, and
$40 to the girl. a'

it struck tree near by and was diverted
from its course, the blade entering his
limb, making frigbtful cash four or
five inches long, and seyering an artery
causing the blood to flow profusely. DIR.
]. G. Cope was summoned as soon as
possible and rendered medical aid, and at
last accounts, although the little sufferer
was much exhausted from loss of blood,
he was getting along as well as could be
expected.

In reply to an inquiry by the Collector
Of Internal Revenue Of Camden, New
Jersey, the Commissioner of internal
Revenue has decided that cigar manu-
facturer may sell leaf tobacco arter pay
ing 1925 special license taxes. This is
done under the act of March ], 1879, and
the Commissioner says: This being a
pfOYiso. it must be construed explicitly,
and unless the terms of that proyiso be
exactly complied with the seller of leaf
tobacco is liable to pay a license of $500
as retail dealer in leaf tobocco. In
other words, the tobacco can only be
sold to cigar manufacturers for their
own use in making cigars, and the most
stringent regulations are provided to
make the seller of leaf certain of the in.
tended disposition of the tobacco.

Falling Leaves.

Our well known citizen and probably
the oldest man in this region of Ohio
Humphrey Alexander, died ON Saturday
night at 91s O'Clock He was born in
1856 near Little York, York county, Pa
When he was 21 years of age, in 1907
he came to the neighbOrhOod of st
tClairsville, since which time he has
been a resident OF this region. From
1926 to 1928 he WAS engaged in mer-
chandising in Mt. Pleasant, but owing
to i'll health he was compelled to relin-
quislf it and return to a farm near the
river. Afterwards he purchased farm
north of this place and resided there
until about 20 years ago, he retired from
active business and removed to St
Clairsville where he resided until his
death.
About ten years after the organization
of the Presbyterian church of this place,
under the pastorate of Rev. Anderson,
he connected himself with that church,
and was an Elder in the same until he
severed his connection with it during
|
year 1884, on account of difference of
views on the subject of psalmody between
himself and church authorities. He
then connected himself with the Seces-
sion church at Mt. Pleasant, which to-
gether with the Associate Reformed
church constitute the present U. p.
church, of which he was a member and
Elder for many years previous to his
decease. He was warmly attached to
his religious belief and was well versed
in ecclesiastical affairs.
Politically he was reared Democrat,
and acted with that party until the be-
ginning of the anti-slavery agitation,
about the year 1S45, when he became a
Free Soiler, and afterwards an ardent
Republican. He loved his country with
a patriots love, and was interested up to
his latest DAYS, in her welfare. In many
regards he was more than an ordinary
man. He was close student of Scrip
ture, familiariZing himself with its
teachings, and committing much of it to
memory, and after increasing infirmities
had blOtted almost everything else from
memOry'S tablet, he could repeat con-
cisely and accurately many favorite
Psalms and passages of the Bible
In his life he was consistent, exem-
plary Christian, an honorable. office
bearer in the Church, and a modest, un-
ostentatious and worthy citizen Two
children, DR.. John Alexander, of Nc
Connellsville, and daughter, Mrs.
Brownlee, are left to mourn his loss.
We but express the common sentiment
when we add that they have the sincere
coincidence of the community.
