ELIHU GREGG The Court OF AP.
PEALs DENIES HIM A New TRIAL
WILL He HANG?.-The Supreme
Court of Appeals made several i'm
portant decisions on Saturday, tho
first of which was that of Elihu
Gregg, the Preston County firebug
The application for writ of error
was refused, as barred by the stat
utes, which requires that such petit
ton shall be flied within five years.
Poor old Gregg must swing Wheel
ing Register.
The Intelligencer also says: "The
Supreme Court of Appeals decided
last Saturday that there were no
grounds for the granting of writ OF
error in the case of the alleged incen-
diary, Elihu Gregg, of Preston coun-
ty, and it now only remains for the
Circuit Court Judge of that county
to resentence him to death or to fix a
day for the execution of the old sen
tence. Gregg is in jail in this city
and has been for nearly two years.
1t is very likely, however, thst execu-
tive clemency will be extended the
almost worn out old man."
When Gregg was sentenced,h he was
asked to choose between death and
the penitentiary for life. He chose
death If he still adheres to his
choice, he will, we learn, have to hang,
as his sentence cannot be committed,
or at least is likely not to be, unless
he asks it, Nobody in this county,
however, wants to see him hang

How Grain Corners are Made.

The process of cornering in wheat is
brought about by an unlimited number
of falsehoods told by those who would
not ordinarily be charged with them,
hence they work better. The house of
Corn, Barley x Co., conceive the idea
that it is its time to make a corner in
grain. 1t proceeds at once to form
ring within ring This ring consist
ing of A, b, G and d, proceeds in Au-
gust to quietly buy September wheat,
not directly. but through brokers. Be-
fore the end of August this ring, with
out any excitement, secures the control
Of the wheat in market deliverable in
September. II has sold to these parties,
and finds himself unable to extricate
himself from the position into which the
forced rise in September wheat places
him without buying of A. This com
pletes the ring, and it only remains for
II TO give his check to A for the differ
ence between the price of wheat bought
and the price Of wheat sold. This is q
margin, and that margin is obtained by
A, not by the investment Of capital,
neither by the exercise of brain power,
successfully applied to the forecasting of
the probabilities of the market, based
upon the varying influence of supply
and demand, or the still more ciTectual
influence OF favorable season or an adj

in cards az wheat, raises the bet, Is raises

dollar on change or in a gambling hell,
without having had a single chance to

Animal Life Here and Hereafter.

A lively writer propounds and an
swers a question thus: "Who says ami
mails do not have a future existence ?
Look at the chicken, for instance, who
dies aud is cooked, but his feathers on
lady's hat become bird Of paradise
Aside from the humor of the foregoing.
says an exchange. there comes ques-
ton: Why should man arrogate to him
self the sole right to live hereafter, while
all the animal kingdom is to be utterly
blotted out Of existence? Animals have
mind of a certain order, and many hui
man ways, such as exhibiting their love,
hate, belligerancy, fear disgust and ten
denotes to fun. That delicate and ex-
quisitely organized little songster who
sprung from tho warm CLINE Of the
Canaries, evinces intelligence Of no
mean order, and it is ono of the GER
tainties that its fair owner, with her
sympathetic nature, does not believe in
the humiliation Of her pet. Human
beings kill aud devour animals and gen.
orally think no more of them. Yet
these animals have the same fear Of
death and the same love Of life as man.
and upon that very fear and love in man
is based. bis hope Of another life. It'll
now generally agreed that what has been
called instinct in animals is mind, for
many of them seem to reason from cause
to effect in providing for themselves and
protecting the lives of each from assault.
Naturalists are beginning to have some
new ideas of animal existence. and some
of them think that when the Creator en-
dows anything with active animal "
lie does not mean that it shall be
terly destroyed
