Editors Intelllgencer:
The residence Of Prof. W. X. Pendleton,
Bethany, was entered by burglar about
midnight last night. He gained an en-.
trance through pantry window. Several
members Of the family heard him going
about the house and thought It was one OF
the household, until they made a noise,
when the burglar made his escape. He
was seen by a member Of the family as he
was taking his departure, and answers the
description pretty well Of strange man
who introduced himself into the dwelling
Of Prof. Pendleton on the evening OF the
marriage Of his daughter, and was prompt
ly invited to leave. An examination re.
vealed the fact that the burglar had sue
ceeded in getting possession OF the follow
ing articles:
A diamond ring with the monogram
"P. LIZ valued at three hundred dollars;
O gold band ring with opal set, valued at
sixty dollars; bracelet bearing the initials
&c. Fl. p" and the name "Maud." Two
open-faced, 0ld style gold watches, valued
at one hundred dollars each; a lady's gold
chain with slide, set with pearls; a gen.
tleman's plain gold chain, composed OF
fine links, the two valued at one hundred
and fifty dollars.
Miss Daisy Crothers, who has been III
for some time, is going abou: again.
Politics is considerably talked OF herea-
bouts. Scouts are around, to ascertain the
public mind 30 far as local elections and
Offices are concerned. AS to the presi-
dency there seems to be among Repub-
licans very warm feeling for Blaine, and
about like number for Sherman; as 10
Grant there are quite number in favor OF
him, because he Is such strong man."
Several very good Republicans have said
within the last week, that "they did not
want Grant"
DR.. Thomas Fl. Logan, OF Wheeling, is
spoken OF as candidate for Governor.
For the House OF Delegates we have heard
no one mentioned. Leander Browning,
Of Gross Greek township, was spoken OF
at the last election. He would be suita-
BILE man to represent this county In the
House OF Delegates.
There has been but little said as regards
State Senator, as bysomearra 1t is
said that Hancock county has the choice
this time. We have been informed that
county has had the choice OF
six times, while Brooke has had
he choice only four times. Whether this
d correct or not we will notsay. We give
Il as we received 1t. II such is the case,
Brooke ought to have the choice now to
get even. W. II. Tarr, who filled the office
of State Senator the last term, has been
talked OF as suitable Demo-
cratic candidate for reelection, had Brooke
county the choice.
Mr.. Tarr has host Of friends outside OF
his own party who would be glad to see
him sent back to the Legislature. We
have heard no Republican spoken OF for
The position above referred to.
, l. @. Wright, who was mentioned in our
lost as being q prospective candidate for
Prosecuting Attorney on the Greenback
ticket, kicks and says he is no aspirant for
office. IN ~
John McNally, who was announced at
the same time as candidate on the
Greenback ticket for the House OF Dele
gates, don't want to 60. John says all he
wants is plenty OF work and one chance
ut sending some one else.
John o. Palmer don't 60 back on being
the Granger-Lawyer candidate for Con-
yress. Palmer is good lawyer, moder-
ate Democrat, a successful farmer, a good
citizen, full al fun, don't get mad, and an
admirer Of General Grant, and II he will
bring himself out in due form and ticket
himself for the race his political brethren,
Z they can whip the Republicans, cannot
10 better than send John to Washington,
DO.
We have not seen "Uncle Joe" since
he came back from the Parkersburg Con-
vention. 1t is generally understood that
he Greenback party are strongly in favor
of him for Governor. 6. BIC.
