Solid Truth and Reason.

1t is of the greatest importance to one
seeking business prosperity to be as
truthful in his advertising as he ought
to be in his private life. Many, howev.

wares in such glowing characters that
the customer becomes disgusted on
meeting the reality face to face. This
is mistake that wish to avoid. "Plain
truth needs no flowers of speech" Real.

extol our goods to the skies, nor do we
paint their merits in the perfect
colors of rainbow splendor, but merely

Edward Johnston and Alfaretta Dun

A QUIET little wedding occurred at
the residence of Mr.. Henry Meyer, in
this place, on Wednesday evening of last
week, when Mr.. John P. Barton and
Mrs. Annie E. Pratt, were pronounced
man and wife, by Rev. S. F. Minor, of
the M E. Church. None but relatives
of the parties were present. The con-
tracing parties are well known in this
vicinity-Mr. Barton, the groom being
a son of Judge Jesse Barton, of Cole :
rain, and the bride Mrs. Pratt, the wild
ow of the late Jos. G. Pratt, and daugh-
ter of Henry Meyer, Esq. The usual
bridal tour was dispensed with, and the
happy couple went at once to their fu :
ture home, next door east of the Nation
al Hotel. May happiness and prosperi--
ty attend them.

FIFTY-SIX BODIES
Is the Number Recovered from the
Late SciotO Disaster.

The search in the Ohio river for the
bodies Of the victims of the Scioto dis.
aster has been vigorously prosecuted
and now all the missing, with the eXcep-
tion of one from East Liverpool and two
doubtful, have been found. The great
excitement at Wellsville and East Liver
pool has now settled down into the
pangs of solid sorrow. Springhill Gem
etery, Wellsville, bears witness with
twenty-nine new-made graves, to one of
the most horrible accidents that has ever
happened. And the Wellsville dead
only exceed those of East Liverpool by
four or five. The total number of bodies
found is fifty-six, with two yet missing.
The scenes at Wellsville and East
Liverpool. while the dead were being
buried, were sad in the extreme. The
whole city of Wellsville went into
mourning on Sabbath, and nine funerals
took place at one time.
Some of the bodies were in such an
extreme state of decay when found
that they had to be buried Immediately
after their arrival and Identification, and
on Sundey night seven funerals took
place by torch-light.
had visited the scene of the accident up
to Monday evening, although practically
nothing was to be seen.
The dead, according to arrangement,
were all transferred to temporary
morgue established in the Missouri
House at Wellsville, until identified.
Pilot David Keller, of the SciotO, has
been arrested, and is on bail. A war
rant has also been sworn out for Pilot
Long, of the Lomas, but at last advices
he had not been arrested.
The John Lomas was tied up at the
wharf in Wheeling on Saturday to
satisfy claim of $4,000 for damages,
alleged to have been caused the Sciote.
The suit was brought by the attorney for
the Wheeling, Parkersburg and Cincin-
natl transportation Company.
Artists representing Harper's Weekly
and Frank Leslie's Weekly were upon
the scene of disaster last week, and it is
presumed that these publications will

IT seems that Martin Cowen and Miss
Estelle Close wanted to get married, and
accordingly they entered into an agree
ment to that effect last Saturday eve
ming. On Monday Martin went to the
residence of Mr.. John 5. Close, father OF
the expectant bride, and made known
the arrangement between the fair daugh-
ter and himself, when he was informed
that nothing would induce them to agree
to such partnership, and he was for
hidden the house. The second time
Martin returned and found Mr.. Close in
the harvest field, where he undertook to
PROFOUND the law, but the stern father
refused to listen, and again asked him
to retire from his domain. He then went
to the house, and found the girl of his
cheice standing in the doorway, and told
her that he would be out for her that
evening, and she replied sail right" APP
plication was made to Judge Kelly for
a writ-of hGbeGs corpus, and accompa-
MED by Sheriff Hilles, the expectant
groom appeared at the Close farm il a
cab about ~ o'clock in the evening,
when the writ commanding the Sheriff
to bring the body of Estelle Close before
his Honor, the Judge, was read to the
father and daughter. Before the Sher
iff took the young lady from her home,
every effort was made to dissuade her
from carrying out her intentions, and a
weeping mother and pleading father
implored her to postpone the matter, but
all to no avail, and she declared that she
would unite her fortunes at once with
those of the man she loved. The Sher-
iff accompanied the young lady to the.
carriage, in which sat her persevering
lover, and the party were driven to the
residence of Judge Kelly, where they ar
rived about o'clock at night. Shortly
afterWard Mr.. and Mrs. Close made
their appearance, and an investigation
was had as to whether the young lady
was restrained of her personal liberty.
Mr.. Close claimed that his aim was to
restrain Mr.. Cowen, and that while he
objected vigorously to the marriage, he
was not of the opinion that he had TAX
en- away the liberties of the daughter.
Judge Kelly expounded the law, and
told the parents that if their daughter
was of lawful age, (Which was admit
ted,) she had a right to elect for herself,
even against their will. When it was
ascertained that further objection was
useless, it was agreed that the writ
should be returned at the costs of Mr..
Cowen, and the couple went to the resi-
dence of F. NJ. Cowen, where they were
duly married, by Rev. Thos. Balph. Yer

On Friday of last week the coach on
the Northern railroad jumped the track
at point about midway between this
place and Barton's, and was precipita-
ted down an embankment fifteen or
twenty feet high, making full revolu-
tion in it's descent. Three ladies and
James, the little son of Rev. Robert
Alexander, were in the car when it went
over, and stayed with it until it landed
in the bed of the stream at the foot of
the bank. Jimmie came out of the
wreck uninjured and smiling. While all
of the ladies were shocked at the turn"
of affairs, but one of them was seriously
hurt-Mrs. Sarah Mcconnell, of Uhrichs-
vile, who had one bone in each of her
wrists broken. Mrs. Bryant, of the same
place, was bruised somewhat, but was
not disabled in any way. The other lady
had an axle sprained. The injured par
ties were taken on the engine to the res
idence of Mr.. W. S. Taggart at Barton's,
when it returned to this place and DIR.
Geo. A. Close was sent to render medical
assistance to Mrs. Mcconnell, and the
fractures were reduced and she returned
home on the evening train. Advices
from her on Tuesday are to the effect
that she is as well as could be expected
with hurt of such character. Spread

the accident by both the conductor and
engineer who are both experienced rail.
