every susceptible female who would pay any Nt

All day they continued to parade the streets,

hotel steps and gaze sweetly and hally on
every handsome female passer; this programme
was continued until night, aud Ia the evening,
after having managed to srrape acquaintance

A SHOOTING MATINEE.


An Old Man and His Pepper Bo1-Stng Hey, The

There lives in the First ward, on Walnut street
extension, near Charles street. an aged and peace.
able couple named Andress; the old man is the
father'in,law Of John Volzer, and for some time
kept sort of a half loaded beer saloon at his
place above named, but some time ago he closed
out his last eighth OF beer and quit the business.
Andreas is a harmless old man and of good re.
pute among his neighbors and has never earned
a reputation for anything beyond the ordinary
as found In the life Of an old man living alone
with his spouse. Last Sunday evening though,
there came an event which aroused all the bust
ness qualifications the old man retains, and the
way he settled the affair will be found related be.
low. Upon that evening two young fellows Of the
genus rough, who wear the inns of their slouch
hats curled up behind, spit over their shoulders
and address their c0nireres as "Cul," came to the
r, ,sidence of Andreas and crowded themselves in
as unwelcOme guests; they were respectively
Charlie Mccormick and Hub Reed, or Reith, as
some call him. and after forcing their way into
the old mans house they remained for time,
causing all the annoyance they could and con
duCting themselves In very disOrderly manner,
throwing dog on the old man, upsetting chairs
and, after the custom of Texas desperadoes intlm.
idatins the old couple Finally, when iorbearance
ceased to be common sense, the old man retired
to the armOry of his castle and taking an old
shooter of the antique pepper box style ten inch
bOTe and carrying bomb Shells more or less, per
susded the young whoopers to vacate the rancho
at its muzze. They did not go far however, but
hunted up couple Of clubs on the outside and
returned to the house demanding imittance and
batterlng the door for emphasis; the old man went
to the door and from the inside warned them
away and threatened to make cullenders of their
skulls If they cavorted about there much longer;
they didn't Sc m to mind the cullendar business
and continued to cavort, seating time on the door
with their clubs: pretty soon the old mans Ger.
manic chOler got clear up under his ears and
nearly chOked him, and just at this juneture he
opened the door partly and thrusting forth his
gun blazed away at the whole lower end of the
First ward; the old swamp angel was loaded with
buckshot, aud there was flash and a report that
aroused the deuizens Of the whole neighborEood;
the two young marsuders were in the way and in
a mement the report and the flash were followed
by groans and curses and Mccormick and his
partner got home to their beds somehow as soon
as possible the former minus one eye and with
number of shot wounds on his person, and the
latter with some buckshOt scratches on his face.
All the neighbors down there are of the opinion
that the old man gave the roughs the kind Of
bath they were looking for, aud it is not probable
they will trouble him again very soon.

COMMON PLEAS "


The trial OF George Mann for irssdef Of
Whatmath, near Alliance, lalt Jun began on
Monday. On Tuesday forenoon the, jury was
completed and the trial began. The charge is
murder in the first degree. IT seems that What
math was a citizen of Philadelphia, and>Helng
out Of work had gone West to find employment,
but finding none started home, but running short
ofmoneyr was working his way East and fell in
with Mann and 0hr, who accompanied him.
They managed TO ride nights on freight trains,
and Mr.. Whatmaths money found the proVis'
Ions. They arrived in Alliance In the morning,
and buying supplies proceeded to the woods
northeast Of Alliance and breakfssted; after
which they lay down to sleep. Sometime in the
forenoon, Whatmath came to dwelling near the
woods, with nothing on but his shirt and his
head horribly crushed and beaten. He was
horrible sight and could otsay much by way OF
explanation. He soon became unconscious and
expired in few hours Mann and Ohr were at
once suspected. The three had been seen going
to the woods, and the two had been seen going
east on the track. Marshal Kingsbury at once
started east in buggy and arrived at the first
station before they did. They were arrested and
have since been duly arraigued 1t seems after
being, as was supposed killed outright, What.
math was robbed of his money about five dollars,
his watch, and stripped Of his clothing. Mrs.
Whatmath, widow of the murdered man. is in
this city. From all we have heard, Mr. What.
math was a decent and industrious man.
The case of Ohio VS.. Chas. Hoffman, was tried
last week, taking two days, The charge was
grand larceny, and defendant had been in jail
since last May, The jury brought in a verdict Of
mot guilty" and Hoffman was told to go.

Committee.

Last week W. W. Durand, agentfOr all of mana
ger Jack Haverly's amusement enterprises, was in
the city aud while here he adorned many show
windows with fine Autographs. On Monday last
young man named De GarnO, who is really pro-
gramme agent for Hooley & Emerson's minstrels,
went about town and representing himself as one
of Haverly's men, ordered all the Autographs of
Haverys to be removed promising to return
some day soon and replace them. When 1t is con.
sidered that one of Haverly's enterprises is the
mastodon minstrelR, and that there exists con-
siderable degree of rivalry between the two large
parties, this trick Of Charles A, DeGarno may be
Iooked upon as just little dirty. The Haverly
Autographs were wanted out of the way, at least
until after Emerson showed, and as they have not
been replaced 1t is probable that Mr., Durapd will
fly off at moral tangent when he hears of his
work being undone in such a manner.

ABsCoNDs.-Nr. Msrkley Of Baer & Markley,
mlllers at Beach City, in this county, absconded
few days ago, owing farmers heavily for wheat
1t seems he paid FIVE to eight cents per bushel
more for wheat than the market price, and gave
thirty day checks on the bank, and these checks
were generally csshed by the owners endorsing
them thus making themselves liable to pay if
MaIkley does not. The indebtedness thus far as
certained is over seven thousand dollars, He
leaves wife and four children. Markley located
there two years ago. Many farmers lose from two
to twelve hundred dollars Putnam Bros. of VII.

Bal;zy seven hundred; J. M. steller, six hundred
and Peter strouse, seven hundred. 1t is a severe
calamity to many worthy men.

the young folks acquitted themselves well Some
Of the recitations we're not only well chosen, but
also well delivered The singing also exhibited
good taste and fair skill. We enjoyed the exhibit

make Canton place of general headquarters in.
