mans In COurt.
Nsw CUMBERLAND, W. Va, March 81.
The Circuit Court is in session at
Fairview, and quite number OF our
citizens have been called as witnesses
on the most important criminal case on
the docket. Last July two young men
named Cameron and Coddy went to a
picnic on Deep Gut, about mile from
town, and, being full OF whisky, con-
cluded to raise row, which they did
successfully. After some shooting,
throwing stones. the free use OF knuck-
lers, etc, they succeeded in clearing the
green, so they are now being tried for
this crime, with the probability ofreach-
ing the interior OF the countv Jail
Numerous papers through the coun-
try have published sensational accounts
concerning the sale of paupers in this
county. We of Hancock county know
OF the existence OF the evil, for such it is,
bat then the correspondents held out
the impression that the poor OF our
county are quite numerous, which is
not the case. Tne sum total OF all those
who are sold or contracted for in the
comfy are only about eight or ten; but
even this is no excuse for the inhumsn-
Nv As 1t has existed and continues to
exist. The only excuse offered for this
practice is that it will entail a heavy
burlen OF taxation upon the people 10
provide house suitable to sccommodat /,
mem. Three years ago when the
County Court granted the people
the privilege OF voting upon
tie project Of huying suitable farm and
building a house the matter Was dis.
Gu ssrd pro aud con through the press,
and was thoroughly ventilated, SO that
the people voted intellisently upon the
Or Jet. The Poor Commissioner then
asked for instructions from the county
court and received consent 10 proceed
and buy suirabl. farm. Bat they not
only disrsgaried the voice Of the peo-
pie, but the instructions of the court.
So the whole blame for this inhuman
practice rests upon the heads OF those
officials who disregarded the mandates
Of the people and the court. The peo-
pie of Hancock county abhor the inhu.
man practice OF selling the poor OF the
county and will take measures to rem
edy the evil.

HIS LOST EVELYN.
Strange Antics Of a Demented
Man.


CINCINNATI, March 3i.-H. II. Dovle,
a middle aged man, representing CHI
cago furniture firm, boarded the steamer
Potomac night before last at lronton,
and after paying his fare was shown 10 q
stateroon, into which he retired, taxing
with him small valise. In few min
utes he came out. and, going to Clerk
Phister, demanded the latter's assist
ance in a delicate undertaking. He said
that a man had his wife prs
oner in one Of the state-rooms,
and he wanted the door broken
down, so that he might assert MS
martial rights He was assured by the
polite clerk that he must be mistaken,
no lady aud gentleman having been as
signed TO one state,room on that trlp'
Dovle insisted, however, that he was
not mistaken, and created considerable
sensation on board by rushing from
state room 10 state room, and cailing
meanwhile for Evelyn" Evelyn did
not answer. and Doyle was persuaded to
enter his state room, and the door was
locked. He cried loudly for liberty, and
finally crept out OF a rear WIN
dow. Re-entering the saloon ne
again demanded his wife, and
kept up such racket that the pas
sengers were aroused, and crowded out
of their state-roOms to see the iun.
DOYLE was quieted at last, but early yes,
terday morning he "had 'em again.
He placed himself in front oil vacant
state. room, and held an imaginary con-
.....,o, ,b.,uyb tho 10y. hole with
EVELYN. whom he insisted WAS inside in
the custody OF three men. who were
about to outrage her person He beg
ged these imaginary men to spare his
darling wife, and, emptying his pockets
Of loose change, sought to brihe them
by dropping the coin into the state,
room over the trausom. Doyle appeared
to be rational on every other subject,
and when the boat reached here he WAS
allowed TO 90 his way.
