~ Poor GAuMER, of the St. Clsirs-
vile Gasettc. His silly statement that
promises of sales were made him il be
would support Judge OKEr, has less
reason in it than his idiotic "a plan." !"
Where the characters Of Judge OKEH
and GAUMER for truth are known, no
defense whatever, OF the former, is nec-
esssry, but some one, unacquainted with
GAUMER might see his statement and
think 1t contsined some truth. For
such this is written, that the statement
Is one Of GAUMER's manufactured false
hoods. Again, we assert that no friends
OF Judge OKEY were authorized to, or
did make him any such proposition
Now, let him back his statement with
names and we will prove bv his own
witnesses that they not only did not
make such q proposition to him but
never even thought Of doing so. The
defeat of his "54 plan" hurts him badly.

Special Correspondence of the Register.
ST. CLAIRsvILLE, Oct. 25.-The NOR
tai remains of Gen. James Weir were
this afternoon consigned to their last
resting place In the Union cemetery, bv
the side of his two wives and six chill
dren, who have preceded him to the
grave. The only member OF the family
left to follow the old man to the GENE.
terry was the little daughter Ada. What
an end for q once eminent and respect.
ed man to bring his family to! Six
children in the grave, two are murder
ers, one In prison cell, the other fu-
gitive from justice, and himself the vic
tim Of murderous blow from his own
son. This is the fruit OF nurtuting a
family In crime and iniauity
The funeral services at the house were
solemn and impressive. A portion OF
the Scriptures was read by Rev. Thos.
Balph, OF the u. P. Church, and PRAYER
was offered by Rev. Alexander, of the
Presbyterian Church.
The Masonic fraternity then took
charge OF the remains and conducted
the funeral In accordance with the uss-
ges of that order. The members of the
bar attended the funeral In q body. A
large number OF citizens we're also In
attendance.
The search for the murderer was con
tinued last night, but without success.
1t is pretty well known that up to last
night be was secreted about mile west
of town, where his father owns q piece
Of land, but he is probably far enough
away from here now. Descriptions
OF the murderer have been sent to
all points around US, and the Sberi.l has
offered reward OF 6150 for his arrest.
The Town Marshal and his aids are
severely condemned for neglecting to
arrest Weir before he left. They were
notified to make the arrest, but refused
for the reason that they hadn't the

The Population or london.

According to the recent census the popu-
lation of London is {, 814,571. In 1861 there
were in London 159, 421 dwelling houses and
2,803, 034 people, in the next ten years the
number of houses and inhabitants had in
creased about 90 per cent. In April, 1871, the
time of taking the census, there were found
to be in London At, 348 dwelling-houses ar d
1921, 804 inhabitants. The rate Of increase
during the past ten years has not been less
than during the preceding decade.
There is much to be said, however, about
the bigness Of London. The territory in
cluded within the city limits takes in the
city of Westminster, the Borough of South
wark and any number Of hamlets. Besides,
in the census all the inhabitants of dozens of
suburbs, such as Kensington, Chelsea, Black
heath and dozens of others are enumerated
as citizens Of London. The area Is about 122
square miles.
The city is divided into twenty-five wards,
and in each ward an alderman is elected for
life. The common council, however, con-
sists Of 206 members. The police force num-
bers between 5000 and 6, ZOO men. There are
so, 900 miles Of roadway within the limits,
and most Of them, having been laid out fifty
years ago., are narrow and mean.
London has a $4,000 a year bishop, up
wards Of 1 900 schools of all kinds, seventy
almshouses, and about 200 hospitals, 1000
solicitors and attorneys, and over 1000 bar
%risters. There are not less than ZOO omni-
buses and 5000 cabs IN the 60 each day.

A Fish s1ory.

Mrs. Juliet Corson prepared a fish dinner
for some New Workers the other dey, but
her art did not soothe the savage breast
enough to prevent the diners from telling
stories after their meal. One gentleman said
ii six hours he had caught 5000 trout an
mother said that last summer, off Fire Island,
he took blue fish that weighed $50 pounds !;
and third, who didn't look like q confined
liar, remarked that while fishing for bass
near Nantucket some time ago, eight bass
got on his line at one time and pulled so
hard that he had to get a horse to help him
haul in. These three fisherman turned to a
fourth, who-had sat quietly during the story
telling, and one said "Perhaps you don't
believe us-perhaps these stories don't int :
est you ?" "Oh, yes they do" said the
quiet little man, " for I'm something Of .

HOW q Bishop Walezea.

The Mormon church looks with disfavor
on the familiarities Of certain styles Of mod
ern dancing, and the bishops have sought to
regulate this matter among the young and
giddier saints. AT a dance in Salt Lake re-
Gently, the bishop expressed himself as high
ly displeesed with round dancing. He said
that it was condemned by the priesthood,
and if the saints could not get along without
the round dances they had better 60 home.
The young folks demonstrated with him, but
all to no purpose. IF you must waltz, let
me show you how to do it, = said he, and he
got on the floor with acne hundred and eigh-
ty-three pound blonde. The band struck up
the "Blue Danube" and away they slid.
Down the hall glide the bishop and the
blonde; the tips of their fingers touch and
cruel space is between them. This was the
church method-the priestly improved arms
length waltz, Soon there was a slight con-
traction Of the arms, and the space between
them gradually decreased. Presently one
arm encircled the fair one. The blonde was
the first to give way, and her cheek looked
like q sunf1ower in a turnip field as it rested
on the shoulder of the man of God. Round
and round went they, and the fascinating,
wierd-like strain foated like heavenly music
to his soul. Forgotten was the round dance
dogma Of the church, and by the calm smile
that stole across his face we knew that theol-
ogy was defeated and one man at least utterly
Indifferent to future punishment.

Proof OF Animal life In other Planets.
[LOndon telegraph

-SL4s8S1 ASIG5l aDII %@@
Two interesting problems which have long
perplexed the scientific world appear to have
been at last definitely solved BY the eminent
geologist, Or. Hahn. The questions are, first,
whether or not celestial bodies other than the
earth belonging to our solar system are in
habited by animate beings; and, secondly,
whether the meteoric stones from time to
time cast upon the surface Of this globe eman-
ate from incandescent comets, or from yolca-
mic planets. That they at no time formed a
part OF the earth itself has been conclusiYely
demonstrated.
DIR. Hahn has recently completed a series
Of investigations upon some OF the huge me-
teoTic stones that fell from the skies in Hun
gary during the summer Of 1866. Thin lam
ina Of these mysterious bodies, subjected to
examination under a powerful microscope,
have been found to contain cora1line and
spoDgous formations, and to reveal unmis-
takble traces of the lower forms Of yegeta-
ton. All the organisms, animal and Yegeta-

one of what is technically termed ssprimary

that world IS proved by the fact that the tiny

not have existed in comets, at least if the as
sumption be correct that these are in a state
