The bomb which burst was thrown into

other bombs were cast into the sleeping

Some months ago, John Belts, OF
Sicubenville, Ohio, horse-whipped his
wife, daughter Matte, and his married
daughter, Mrs. Grace Webster. The
affair created quite a stir at the time.
The cause of the whipping was because
he found a young man named William
Ferguson in the parlor with his daugll-
ter Matte. on his return home about
9 o'clock in the evening, against his or

anything to say to Ferguson. He first
attempted to whip Matte, when her
mother and Mrs. Webster interferred,
which caused him to turn his wrath

been visiting some months in Philadel-
phia, and returned home a few days
ago. 1t seems Ferguson met her at Al
toona, Penn, where they were married,
after which they came to S%teubenvilIo
together. The bride is worth about
$40, 900 in her own right, it having
been left her by her grandmother. Mr..
Belts has accepted the situation, since
he can not help himself. and tho Young
