pG- Senator Voorhees,, OF Indiana, ar
rived in New York OH Saturday last.
He is reported as declaring that the Re-
publicans had the use of from $1,000
900 to 100000 in that State, the lat
ter sum, in his opinion, being near the
figures. In addition he claims that
there were at least 5000 colored men
imported into the State and voted. The
Democrats lost some votes on the tariff
issue, but Mr.. VOORHEES, says he knows
Gen. Hancock is stronger in Indiana
than the State and local tickets, and
that after the first few days Of depres-
sion the Indiana democrats will rally
and give Hancock 10000 more votes
than that party cast for the State ticket.

HD~ DR.. d. Lum, formerly Assistant
Secretary of the National Greenback
Labor Committee arrived in Washing
ton from New York, few days ago.
DR.. Lum says he has in his possession
letter purporting to have been written
by Marshal Jewell, requesting him to
come to New York to hold consulta-
ton. Lum says the object of the con-
sultation was to secure the cooperation
of the Greenback leaders with the Re-
puLlicans. He stoutly adheres to his
charges that General Weaver, the Green
back Presidential candidate, has sold
out to the Republicans, alleging that
Weaver has received from Jewell $780,
900 of $4,000 promised him for desert
ing the Greenback party in the interest
of the Republicans.

sts- BY the latest returns from the
election in this State, We learn from the
Wheeling Register, that Jackson's ma
jority over Sturgiss for Governor is l5,-
sos. The full vote stands as follows -
Jackson 5S,407, Sturgiss 1902, and
French, greenback candidate, 1926.
In 1876, Governor Mathews majority
over General Golf was 1929; this year
Mr.. Jackson leads Sturgiss 1895,
showing a Democratic gainin four years
of 3,166. And this in the face of the
most tremendous efforts on the part of
the Republicans to reduce the Demo-
cratic majority.

sD- THE S. V. Il. r. BRIDGE AT
THIS PLACE.-On the completion OF this
marniGcent structure sometime ago, we
gave TO our readers o full account OF its
construction, and we refer TO IL again
onlv to set at naught the malicious re-
port, briefly referred 10 in cur last issue,
that it was in an unsafe condition. We
fiud that this report Is not only conhn-
ed to this community and vicinity, but
we have heard it upon several occasions
el.ewhere--of course We promptly de-
MED it,
In order to know correctly what we
are speaking of, and to be able to fully
expose the falsi,y Of this absurd idea
the unsafetiness of the railroad bridge
and tre,tling over the river at this place
upon invitation of Mr.. I. 5. Lutz,
General Road Supervisor of the S. V.
r. r., we accompanied him over the
bridge on Monday afternoon last, and
personally inspected the same, as well
as having the various points and adyan-
tayes in its manner OF construction ex-
planned to us by that gentleman. While
on the bridge the southbouud freight of
about 10 cars heavily loaded passed
over, and we took particular notice that
the vibration was very slight, in fact
hardly noticeable. Mr.. Luts Informed us
that this bridge is built upon the plan
of "aafety of six" that is its strength
Is six times more than is absolutely and
necessarily required for the use to which
il Is put to.
While on the bridge, Mr.. L. measur-
ed the length of it and trestling, which
IS as follows, bridge and trestle 1l73
feet In length; bridge proper, s45 feet;
trestle, S2s feet The bridge is com.
posed of FIVE spans, 1853 1-2 feet each in
length, there are fourteen spans of trest-
ling, ranging from ! / 10 to 80 feet in
length. The bridge and trestle are
both strongly bracei with large timbers
and neavy iron rods securely fastened in
their respective places, thus making ii
one of the most substantial and strong
ly constructed bridges in the country
The idea that 1t is In an unsafe condi
ton could only have originated in 8
very weak mind, and therefore should
be regarded as of no consequence.

TERRIBLE DOMESTIC TRAGEDY "
CARROLL COUNTY, FA.-Mr Frank Al.
lison, merchant, doing business with
a young man named Hanks as partner
at w oodlawn, Carroll county, Va, near
the Grayson and Wy,he county lines,
had reason to suspect that Hanks was
too familiar with bis wife, and on
"Wednesday last he set trap by which
he fastened the guilt of both parties be
yond doubt, and which resulted in the
death OF his false friend and partner
and the mortal wounding of his faith
less wife. Mr.. Allison told his wife on
that day shat he would be absent until
the next. lie secretcd himself until
night, when he returned after bedtime
aud entered the room OF Hanks, in the
rear part of the store, which building
was in close proximity to his residence.
Here he discovered his wife and llanks
together, and commenced firing upon
them, killing Hanks instantly aud MOI
tally wounded his wife. Five shots
were fired. Allison then surrendered
himself. The family is one OF the 6rst
class, and the shock TO friends and rel.
atives is distressing"

B0- The Democrats have elected,
for two successive terms, high protec-
tive tariff man Speaker of the House OF
Representatives. They have nomina-
ted for President another citizen OF
Pennsylvania, who is in full sympathy
with the protective measures demanded
by the great manufacturing interests OF
that State, as against citizen of ONO
who is pronounced free trader. The
Democrats have also elected from that
district Democratic representative to
Congress who has always responded to
every demand for the protection OF our
home industries. BY what kind OF log
ic, then, are the democrats to be con
demned by Republicans on the tariff
record?

How ABOUT OrR COURTS From
present indications, it seems the Amend

have been ratified at the polls by the

the day they were voted on by the peo-
pie, and by their own provision. The
Judiciary system Of the State, under
which we have been operating, was de
stroyed on that day, and the new pro

the new system cannot by the terms OF

JEFFERSON COUNTY Mutual FIRE In
sURANCE CoMPANY.-This company en-
tered upon the third year of its exis-
tence last week, and has earned place
in the confidence of our people. Or
ganized to bring down the price of in
surance to its actual cost, and to protect
property-owners from such bogus con-
Germs as the Nail City, which a few
years ago was extensively patronized
here, it has been managed with great
economy and success. Mutual compa-
MES are founded upon the idea of leav-
ing the money in the pocket of the in
surer until loss is met, securing both
safety and cheapness, as the premiums
are in too many cases used to pay large
dividends to stockholders, fat salaries
to officers, or squandered in fine build
ings and vast investments. Usually,
however, sufficient cash payment is
exacted to meet ordinary losses and Pay
the small running expenses, so as TO
avoid assessments. The Jefferson Mu-
tual has met more than average num-
Der of losses dunog its two years,
promptly and without assessing its
members, and enters upon its third
year with clean sheet. During its
existence, it has paid losses to the coun-
ty on the Jail, II. Is. Davenport on
barn, A. c. Drawbaugh on store. S. +.
White (slighD on dwelling, Calvin p.
Heikes on barn, etc. 1t deserves ell
couragement, not only as home com
pany, managed by men in whom our
people confde, but because it offers
cheaper rates itself, and has brought
down the rates of foreign and stock
companies. We commend it to the
support of our people hnrle,fown

wheels, rendering 1t perfectly useless:
Not satisfied with this, several bags Of
fertilizer, left in the field at the time
work ceased for the night, were cut open
and their contents emptied on the ground
aud scattered about. IL IL to be hoped
that Capt. Dorsey will be able 10 diseoy-
err the authors OF this malicious conduct
and have them properly punished.

longing 10 one Of our citizens living east
Of the river had its leg broken, and that

who had 4 private grudge against the
