THE spring elections occur only three
weeks hence. The Republicans of the
various election precincts of this county
should bestir themselves at an early day,
and see that good and acceptable men
are put in nomination for the offices
to be filled. The national administra-
tien starts out hopefully, and the signs
of the times augur continued Republican
ascendancy at the elections; but we can
not rely upon this in Belmont county
unless we exercise prudence and care in
making our local nominations, and con-
tinue an aggressive warfare upon the
opposition. The place to commence this
is at the spring elections. Secure good
tickets everywhere next month. use all
fair means to elect them, and then when
the time comes pursue the same course
concerning county nominations, and
Belmont will not occupy the place of a
hanger-on TO the effete so-called Demo
cratic party, but instead will take front
rank in the progressive, wide-awake Re
publican column, where she fairly be
longs.

AT New Philadelphia, Tuscarawas
county, on Sunday, the jury returned a
verdict in the second degree in the case
of Mrs. Ellen Athey, who some months
ago, prompted by jealousy, chopped to
pieces a young woman named Mary Sc
neff, and hid the remains in an ash-pile.
The defendant confessed the crime on
the witness stand at the close of the
trial. The verdict means Imprisonment
for life. In the preliminary stages of
this case motion was made by the pris-
oner's counsel to change the place of
trial, because of the state of public feel
ing, but Judge Patrick Eeld that out of
the entire male population of Tusca-
rawas county, there was certainly
enough jurors to. be found who would
hear and determine the cause impartial
ly, and therefore overruled the motion.

A CASE of Some local interest was
tried in the common pleas Monday and
Tuesday. IL appears that in the spring
of 1877, one Joshua Williams became a
tenant OH the farm of William S. Camp
Drl. southwest of town, and remained
there three years. About the time Will
liamS left the farm some trouble occur
rei between the parties concerning a
settlement, which eliminated in law
suit. Williams claimed a small sum
from Campbell, while the latter set up
an offset of one hundred dollars or more.
Of this he got Sl00. Thereupon his
dander arose, and he made affidavit
against Williams, charging him with the
larceny of quantity of hay. This he
failed to sustain, and thereupon Will
liams brought civil action for mali
cious prosecution. The denOuement of
the testimony in this case was the call
ing of divers well-known citizens to inn
peach Alexander c. Downing, one of
Campbell's witnesses, and his brother-in-
law. This feature struck the counsel
for defendant hard blow, and produced
considerable squirming, The case went
to the jury yesterday morning.

THE motion for a change of venue in
the case of Ohio VS.. Weir, indicted for
murder, was filed Tuesday afternoon,
accompanied by the affidavits of James
Weir, G. l.. Poorman, G. Troll, L. Dan
ford, and st. Clair Kelly, and copies of
the Gazette and CHRONICLE containing
accounts of the homicide. Gen. Weir's
affidavit sets forth that the newspapers
of this town published reports of the
homicide and of what witnesses said,
that they reflected on the accused, and
that be can not, in his opinion, obtain a
fair and impartial trial here. Messrs
Danford and Kelly, counsel for the pris-
oner, say great feeling exists here, and
in their opinion lie can not get fair
trial here. Conrad Troll says feeling
exists here which, in his opinion, will
prevent a fair trial. Col. Poorman says
he is publisher of newspaper at Bell
aire, has heard this case talked about,
and thinks Weir can not get Il fair trial
here. Mayer and klotz, c. C. Cratty,and
f. NJ. Sniyely concur in Poorman's af-
fidavit.
This motion must be disposed OF at an
early day, else the case must go over to
the next term. The indictment is for
murder in the first degree, and the Oh
tanning of jury is attended with coll
siderable formality. The Sheriff is al
lowed fifteen days to subpoena the jury
after it is drawn. and three days are al
lowed for furnishing the accused with
the names of the jurors.
At the fall term Weir obtained con-
tinuance Of Il felony case against hin,
on the ground that one Harry Wright,
an important witness, WAS absent
Wright himself was then d fugitive from
justice, and there was not much proba
bility of his returning. Following this
Weir killed Riggs, who testified against
him i'll his preliminary hearing on the
charge for which he was first indicted
Numerous counter affidavits have been
filed by by counsel for the State. The
motion will be heard this evening. Ex-
