PARKERsBURG, April 22.-AS iRtimated.in
the account OF the Chemical Fiber Com
pany's embarrassment, published in the
REGISTER OF a recent date the creditors,
who, by the deed of trust mentioned, were
left out in the cold, have taken steps to
secure their claims by entering suit against
the company, and Sheriff Smith levied upon
the mill and all property found on the
premises. Owing to large amount of pulp
in process OF man ufacture the works were
allowed to remainin operation until to-day,
noon, when the factory was closed and
will probably remain so until the question
of the velicity of the deed of trust is
decided by the courts. 1t is thought
by some that compromise will be made
and the works resum" operations shortly
as several of the largest creditors seem to
prefer this, to awaiting the delay usually
experienced in matters OF this kind coming
before legal tribunal.
A. c. Henderson,, an employee OF Cam.
den & Co., this city, committed suicide yes
terday evening, about 4 O'Clock, by drown
ing himself in the Little Kanawha river, at
Mattingsly Ferry. 1t appears that he had
been slightly i'll during the week, but yes
terday was able 10 walk out. His wife no.
ticed that his mind was notin its usual con-
dition during the forenoon, and while at dim
ner he remarked that this Is the last meal

the house until near o'clock, when he left
and walked deliberately to the river and
threw himself backward into the water.
Some bows who were engaged IN fishlng
near the spot, gave the alarm, and his body
was recovered in few minutes, but lie
was extinct and all efforts to resuscitate
him were unavailing. He leaves wife and
three children the youngest only three
weeks old in rather limited circumS StanceS
4 we'll known gentleman OF this city who
would not be pleased to see his name pub
lished as "a wife beatcr," had better be
cautious or his name mi ght be noted in the
REGISTER in that connection. 1t seems that
few dayS ago the wife of the
gent referred to found certain
lady OF questionable repute in her
husbands office under rather suspicious
circumstances and it is alleged that she
insuted on the above mentioned l-ofq-r,
for which offence the well known gent pro
ceedcd to chaStiSe his wife and actually
kicked her from the dining room to the
kitchen.
Col. Jake Kemplc, OF your city, reached
Parkersburg on Wednesday last. 1t is
thought that the Colonel came here for a
good time" and from all reports is enjoy
ing himself hugely. The last seen OF the
Colonel. this afternoon, he was promenad-
ing Second street with an eX.polceman on
one arm and we'll known young bank
teller on the other, and from all appear
anCcs the trio were happy.
The burglar j. abroad in our city again.
A safe in the Office of Chancellor Il Hawks
was broken open last night, and about Sl5o
stolen. An entrance was effected by pry-
ing of a wooden shutter and cutting n
small hole hole in pane Of glass near the
sash fastener which was easily turned, ana
the burglars entered with very little nOlNe.
With a large slCdge taken from Logan "
Co.'S blacksmith shop, the knob connecting
with the combination lock was broken OIL
and an easy entrance to the safe effected
There was about $50 in the drawer, so OF
this heinz q bank note which was dropped
on the floor and missed by the thieves. The
remainder consisted of silver com, nlckies,
! &c. and was carried OntSide where the
drawer was found this morning. 1t l.
thought that the Job was the work OF gang
which las been operating in Moundsville
and other points recently. Capt Mehen,
of the police force, has had reason to NuS'
peCt that our city would be visited by some
Of the above mentioned gang, and requested
our merchants and others here to use more
than the usual precaution to guard against
the thieves. but with all this care they have
