TOWNSHIP CRIME.
Man Drained with O Club.

A Bellaire special to the Register If
Tuesday gives the following account of
another murder, which was committed
at the mouth of Pipe creek. in York
township, on last Saturday evening:
York township, this county,ha added
another brutal murder to the already
black record of the past year. Henry
Bellville and Joseph Doty, both resi-
dents of the township named, have not
been good friends for long time. and
on Saturday evening last the two men
met on the road, and the bloody encoun-
ter that it has been expected would fol-
low their meeting in an out-of-the-way
place, ensued.
Bellville has repeatedly made the
threat that he would kill Doty if he
ever had an opportunity 1t came on
Saturday evening when the two men
met.
Bellville was armed with a heavy
club. They fought for their lives, and
both men were covered with blood, Bell.
vile being the attacking party. Finally,
after long struggle, Bellville gave Do
ty a we'll directed blow on the head with
his club which felled him to the ground
insensible.
Bellville left at once and has so far
made good his escape. He left Doty ly-
ing on the road insensible, where he was
found by some parties sometime after
ward. He was removed to his home
and cared for, but the blow had fractured
his skull. and he died on Sunday night
in horrible agony.
The murderer has not been apprehend-
ed. and up to this time the matter has
been kept unusually quiet, but the York
people are greatly incensed.
and diligent search will be made to
bring the guilty man into the courts.

THE New York Association of Brow
ers, by formal resolution, has determin-
ed to serve no more beer to customers
on Sunday. Mr.. Katzenmayar, secretary
of the association, says that the rule will
be strictly enforced. He assigns two
reasons for this determination on the
part of the brewers, the drst of which
is that their drivers need rest on one
day out of the seven; and the second,
that some respect should be shown to
church-going people. 1t Is not right, he
says, TO have beer wagons rattling thro'
the streets on Sunday when people are
engaged in prayer, and adds that the
brewers are determined, so far as they
possess influence. to have the day re-
spected. This action is highly commen-
dable, and it might be followed with
profit not only by the brewers of Ohio,
but by all those who vend beer or liquor
in large or small quantities in this state.

18th District Congressional Con-
YentiOn.

A few weeks ago We noticed editori-
ally the very able tariff speech of Hon.
]. T. Updegraff, of the nth District.
The Congressional Convention for that
district has just been held at st. Clairs-
vile, Belmont county, aud lasted three
days. Mr.. Updegraff had q large plu-
rality of the popular vote and of the
delegates in convention, but when he
had received within five votes of enough
to nominate, the friends of the other
candidates, seeing he was about to be
nominated, combined their forces and
carried motion for final adjourn
ment, leaving the work of the cenven-
tion unfinished. We take no part in
politics, but we rejoice to see both par
ties, especially in the great agricultural
districts, nominate men who recognize
the claims of the interest of agriculture.
No man in Congress has pressed them
with greater ability and earnestness
than Mr.. Updegraff. and we believe it
will be for the interest of the manufac-
turing and agricultural sections of the
State which he represents, to continue
him in position where he has already
earned recognition as one of the leaders |
in the movement to give to agricultural
interests some of the attention their |
Importance demands

THERE is a boom here among the
young Democracy in favor of our edito-
rial friend Mr.. G. n. Gaumer of the Ga
zette being nominated by the Democra-
cy for Congress. The idea of the "old
10th Ohio" being represented by such a
fierce Democrat as the editor Of the
Gazette Ia perfectly horrifying to Re
publicans, but if we are to have Dem
acratic congressman, as some of the
anti-U Updegraff men promise in case of
Mr.. US nomination, give US brother
Gaumer.

PooRMAN complains of "the contempt
ible attack upen Hon. L. Danford" by
telegraphic correspondents from this
place to the Commercial and Journal,
during the recent convention. Poorman
is the last man to talk of "contemptible
attacks" upon Mr.. Danford, for he is the
father of them all. A few years ago
there was nothing too virulent and
mean for him 10 say of Mr.. D., as the
people of every township in this Con-
gressional District will attest. His
abuse was withoat limit, and his loud
mouthed denunciations disgusted Dem
ocrats and Republicans alike. The story
as we read it in the Commercial was the
common talk at st. Clairsville the last
day of the convention, and was much
the same as related by Jones, the party
sought to be victimized for the purpose
of completing the bribery programme.
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1882-07-06

Mr.. PooRMAN has peculiar notions
about strengthening the Republican
party of this county. In his opinion the
way to do this is for all Republicans of
the county to unite in an attempt to
nominate for Congress the aforesaid
Poorman, lately candidate on the
Democratic ticket for the same place,
and six months ago a violent supporter
of the Democratic candidate for Repre-
sentative in the Legislature. Other Re-
publicans, perhaps just as patriotic and
unselfish as PoormaD, differ in opinion
with him in this particular, and there
upon he berstes them ronndly. 1t is
very painful to have to say so, but the
opinion seems to prevail that the afore-
said Poorman will not soon represent
this district in congress.

PooRMAN has returned to his blather
about Belmont county man." mean
ing, of course, the aforesaid Poorman.
This county had Belmont county
man" a few years ago, and it strikes
many people now that it is not just the
time for Belmont to "hog" the congress
sional nomination. 1t makes no difference
to the masses of Republicans where the
Representative lives, 30 he truly and
faithfully represents his constituents
and the sooner all Republicans get rid
of the kind of county pride" Poorman
talks of, the stronger and better the
party will be. The Republican party
has higher and nobler purpose than the
mere distribution of Offices around
among hungry aspirants.

or fractured, as the surgeons at first sup
posed, but there was rupture of the
steIno cleidO mastoid muscle on both
sides. as well as of the thyro hyoid mem
brane. 1t follows, therefore, that death
resulted from suffocatien and not from
the dislocation of the spinal vertebras.
A partial examination was made of the
abdominal yiscera, but it had not been
completed at the time the autopsy was
suspended. The spleen was found to be
considerably enlarged, its weight being
eighteen ounces, or more than twice that
of the normal spleen. The other alb
dominal organs, as far as they were ex-
anined, presented no unusual features.

THE st. Clairsville Gazette is fearful
lest Congressman Updegraff should be
re-nominated, and is doing what is In its
power to prevent it. The Gazette sighs
for less able Representative in the
halls of Congress. The Democratic
press of the district is very generally
opposed to Updegraff. and that ought to
furnish very good reason for Republi-
cans to favor him.
