Mrs. Harriet Rigby of Glenn Eastou Takes
Paris Green and Death is the Result.
Wednesday added another to the list
of thos e, who, weary of the world and
its WAYS, have made for themselves a
way out of it. The person was Mrs.
Harriet Rigby, some fifty.five years old,
wife OF Thos Rigby, residing near Glenn
Easton. Mrs Rigby had been quite
shattered in mind for some time past,
although much worse at some times
than at others. Two weeks ago Mr.. r.
brought her to visit friends in Marshall
and Ohio counties near the division line.
She returned home at the close of last
week.
While here she was considt rably
troubled over the information thar her
son George, who is boiler in the Ben
wood mill, was leading somewhat dis
sipated life, and who she thought had
not been tresting her as dutlful son
should. On Monday after her return
home she took dose of Paris green,
from the effects of which she died some
time Wednesday. On Wednesday even
ing the remains were taken to the ISL
dence OF her brother iu-law, MIR. VIM.
Whitemore, in Marshall county, above
Benwood, where the funeral took place
yesterday afternoon.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
A Gentleman Visiting in the City is Miss
ing,

ing
There is at present a case o. mystic
rious disappearance in the northern
part OF the city that is attracting consid-
cradle attention. For some time past
Mr.. Thomas A. Moore and wife, of New
Jersey, have been visiting their rela-
tons, the family OF Mr.. VIM. S. Tippett,
at No. 1857 Main street.
Last Tuesday morning Mr.. Moore left
the house after writing several letters,
which he told his wife he was going to
pest. Since then she has seen or heard
nothing OF him, except a rumOr To- the
effect That he had been SEN in North
Wheeling displaying q large roll OF
money TO a crowd OF men.
Mr.. Moore ia man about ) feet 10
inches in height and vas dressed in a
black suit aud wore silk hat and had
considerable money with him when he
left. He also wears A sandy mousiache
stresked with gray.
His wife and friends are very anxious
concerning his whereabouts and would
be thankful for any information on the
same. They have some suspicious that
all is not right.
Since the above has been pnt in type
1t is learned that the party has been on
a tear, and has been spending his time
in Jacob Wilhelm's saloon in the Eighth
ward, when he was last night, having
been there since Tuesday night.

In addition to the preferred creditors,
Joseph Spciiei II Co, Maxwell X Is
ham and Neiil Il Ellingham were caught
rather strong, and several smaller claims
are to be heard nom. For some time
past drafts have been coming back on
Behrens, and the business has been run
ming sadly down.
The stock in the store is pretty well
sold out, but there is yet considerable
tea aud coffee left, 10 say nothing OF
smaller articles and the fixtures. His
liabilities are largely in excess oil his
assests.
Behrens was not seen after II o'clock
aud it is supposed he has gone TO Bel.
laire. Thus another failure is added TO
Wheeling's very small list.

The opal mines of Queensland
bid fair To rival at no distant day
the far-famed repositories Of that
gem in Hungary. Opals have
been found in many localities, but
have not yet been worked to a
profit. Those obtained from Lis
towel Downs were beautiful ia ap-
pearance, but too thin and scaly
to possess much market value. \
resident of Wiaton has recently
discovered some opal ground
which promises to be really remu'
nerative, and has fonnd some speci'
mems, among which Is solid angu'
lar cream-colored specimen or
which great reliance is placed. i
is said to indicate great heat, anC
to afford strong grounds for believ
ing that large-sized Commercial
opals will be found beneath th'
surface.

The TeIegraphic Deal.

1t is understood the telegraphic
combination was effected on
basis of SS0,000,OO0 capital for the
new company of which the West
ern Unien is to have S5S,O00,O00;
American Union, Slj, 100000; and
the Atlantic and Pacific. S1,000,-
900. The present capital Of the
Western Union is about $4l, ,O0O,-
900; of the American Union, Sl5,-
100000; of the Atlantic and Pa
cifc, sl4,000,OO0. Thus it will be
seen that Western Union gets a
scrip dividend of 40 per cent.
The American Union goes in at
psr and the Atlantic and Pacific
is put in at 80. 1t is undeniable
saws the Graphic, that this move
ment has been engineered through
out by Jay Gould, who to-day
holds a greatly preponderating
control of the entire telegraph
system of the country. 1t is a
movement in which he has check
mated his opponents completely,
and it is estimated that his profits
sum up into the millions. The
present movement in telegraph
stocks was begun in the latter part
of November by Vanderbilt, who
ran the stock up from about par to
IO4J to enable him to unload,
which he did all the way down to
90, as he saw the preparations the
rival line was making for severe
and protracted competition. From
90 the stock was carried down
some IS per cent. by Goulds
short sales. The speculative
movement lay dormant for few
DAYS, but assumed activity by the
sale of one block of 10000 shares
at 7SJ, seller 60 days, and another
of 10000 shares On similar op-
ton at rs. Wall street was mys-
tilted as to the purport of the
transaction, but the spectators
generally were induced to put out
heavy lines of shorts. From this
point the stock began to advance,
, and immense transactions were
the order of the day. There Is
little doubt but that Gould and
Vanderbilt have been acting in
concert in a buying movement
although it is believed that Gould
is by far the largest buyer, as he
appears to have dictated the set
tlement which was made on the
18th. The first section of the new
American Union cables will prob
ably be laid i'll May, and the whole
system be finished in November
Whatever is the spshot of th'
amalgamation project of the lanc
lines here, says New York dis
patch Of the 14th, these new ca
bles will certainly be laid, as ther
is a demand for more wires to Eu
rope, and the property will Away
be in request, owing to the in
creased demand for cable facilities
The old cable companies hav,
offered the projectors OF new cable
every inducement to discontinue
their plans.

w. |. Chamberlin the secretary of the
Ohio board Of agriculture writes letter
H. the OHIO Farmer on the above subject
from which we clip Il paragraph or two.
Mt, Cnambcrin takes his dta chiefly from
Mr.. Bail"y's book, and from that stand
point we think he is jus flied in his conrlu-
sions, though from more extended knowl-
edge and better authority he may change
his conclusions:
EDS, FARMER:-My opinion was often
asked at farmers institutes last winter
whether it would pay for farmers in Ohio
to experiment with ensla re; amt my uni
form answer was, go slown EnslaQe
just now is having lis " boom" aud some
times, on down gra'Ie, the " lock- is the
most useful part of the wagon, and the
hrecchng is the best part of the harness.
Possibly IS tons OF corn fodder can be
grown On an acre, but it will not be done
"ca,ily u nor will it he "an average crop >
Still further, the manure or richness O.
soil hat will yield 70 tons Of corn fodder
per acre will yield more than tt00 tons OF
hdy, and the labor Il CURED to till and en-
sllHgr it will more tLan mOIO, nuke dNt
store tWO tons of han. SliIl further, if til,
fodder is worth hom 10 to 1S8 times a
much rs the hay, then il has tGhtuSted The

hay. Hence the gross injustice OF com
pairing sava9ely exhaustive crop requir
my much labor (Corn-iOdder) with a re-
Operative o e requiring little Labor (timo

These things seem to Indicate that DR.

that we should not risk extensive expert

Buy the tar paper in sheets from the
drug store, 1t costs fifty cents for q dozen
large sheets. Have the wooden articles
well brushed, and wipe off with little
diluted ammonia any g ease spots, as those
are the places where it is most likely the
moth will have laid its eggs. That is the
reason that moth holes are frequently
found on the front of the waistcoat or front
breadths Of the dress you see any sus,
picious looking white films upon the cloth
secure against these y pressing them
with II hot iron over damp cloth. 1t is
claimed by some that the tar paper not
only will keep out mo hS, but that it will
even destroy the grub. But this is not
sure, SO take care that there are no moth
films or white specks upon the garments
you put away, and you may safely trust
the tar paper to keep them out. The
most delicate white woolens and furs can
he laid away in this paper without any
protection. AS the tar does not rub off,
The leading lailors put away their winter
goods in tar paper. For the large fur
lined garments, ii you send these to II
rusty furrIcr, he will insure them. If
you do not care to do this, envelop the
cloak its full length with tar paper, and
then sew itup in II coarse linen bag, hang
ing it up as if it was Il canvas covered
ham. The coarse, glossy, gray linen that
comes 50 cheap for listers and summer
coats is the right thing, as it is slippery
enough to repel the moths; moths like soft
nests, and do not like linen fiber. The
tar paper alone is sufficient if you put the
clonk away in chest. If you hang it up
It is best to have II bag for it.
We have not been troubled with moths,
when the furs or wooens were put up In

GREEN OATS FOR FoDDER.-W. A.
Armstrong. of Elmira, writes as follows
in the New York Tribune:
| have fed many crops cut when the
grain was nearly full, a period indicated
to the eye by the gray appearance of the
field At this stage there is almost COM
pleled growth, but the ripening process
has not begun; the sap is in the stalks and
the heads almost formed. After willing
in the swath few hours in good weather
longer time in poor weather TOR curing
the oats are bound in sheaves OF mOder
ate size and at once set up twO-by-two in
shocks, where they are left until dry
enough TO draw in, the degree Of curing
dependent somewhat on the conditions oil
storage. II the sheaves are to be put on
scaffolds and not packed TO great depth
little care need be taken TO secure thor
ough curing in the field. Now as to value
must say that oats so gathered are worth
more for feeding mlch cows than the best
hay, if made part of the daily supply
have never fed exclusively on oats
Cows in milk, and doing well on good
hay, will at once show increased yield
when given suitable allowance oil oats,
cut green and used in the way | have tie
scrbed, and they will eat all the straw AS
Clearly as they consume the best hay
The fodder is also good for horses, better
than ripe oats for horses not steadily EN-
ploycd, for they keep the coat good and
digestion unimpaired.
