Arrest Of Suspected Murderer-The
Sudden Death of Old Man Adafr-Tne


Sudden Death of Old Man Adafr-Tne
Boat Race.
The Fourth was very quietly celebrated
here. The bibulous were literally plenti-
full, but up till dark not demonstratiye
enough for sequestration at the hands ofthe
police. A number of picnics were held in
the neighborhood, which were very orderly,
well conducted affairs. Spangler Post, G..
A. r., went to Martins Ferry'On the G..
y. Lucas, and enjoyed the day until the
rain came. They speak very highly of the
entertainment they received at the hands
of their comrades and friends there, aud
will endeavor in future to reciprocate. All
in all the day was not superior in many
particulars to the ordinary Bellaire hum
drum.
Col. G. L. Poorman, went out to Burr's
Mills, last night, to address, crowd of
folks, young and old, who had picniced
during the day in the woods and at night
gave fair and festival in one of the halls
of church. The Colonefs effort was high
ly spoken of.
The Scioto landed at the wharf here,
Yesterday, having on board large number
of excurSionists from Wellsville and inter
mediate points.
Capt. jim Eberlein, of the C. & P. accom-
mediation, was off yesterday, on a visit to
Bloomfield. Capt. Lou. Oliger acted in his
absence.
The c. & P. carried more excursionists
along its line yesterday than all the other
roads in the Ohio Valley combined.
John Johnson, who has been carrying
out the role of Catholic priest, was ar
rested Monday night very much under the
influence Of liquor, and locked up. Mayor
Cooper at the morning hearing was about
to impose the usual fines the man remon-
strated and said that he had only been
taking medicine" but the presence of
several empty TASKS gave the lie to this as
sersion, and he was fined s. and costs. He
then tried to coax the Mayor to let him off
with $3.50 plain, but it was of no use and the
money was finally paid.
Officers Johnson and Nagle yesterday ar
rested Joseph Satterfield, of Marion Coun-
ty, who has been at work around here as a
farm hand. Satterfeld is wanted in Marion
County to answer the charge of murder
| preferred by Detective ALT. Burnett. He
| is a son of Samuel Satterfield, who commit
ced suicide on account of suspicion that
| be was connected with the murder of his
| fatber-in-law John. Baker, Sr. Young,Sut-
| terfield's arrest makes the seventh on the
| list of those now in custody on the charge
| of connection with this homicide. He
talked very glibly over the murder,
and the various incidents of interest connec-
ted with it. He says (which, by the way,
| is a novelty that between 800 and $500
were stolen from the chest of old man
Baker on the night of the murder. He also
says that his arrest was not unexpected to
him, as he was on the lookout last Sunday
for some information in regard to the mat
ter, having come into the city in the hope
that he would get letter from his relatives
near Warrington, advising him of any
movements. The admissions made by young
| Satterfield are new to most people, and while
| he is not supposed to be an active agent
in the murder or robbery he is wanted to
| diyulge certain important facts that
will seem to clear up the mystery that has
enyeloped the horrible crime whereby his
grandfather lost his life fifteen months ago.
] The young man took his arrest very coolly
and waived his right of extradition, will
ipgly accompanying Detective Burnett to
Wheeling whence he left for Fairmont at
2 o'clock this morning.
| Col. G. S. s. Baron, of Burr's Mills, brought
his family to this city to pass the Fourth.
We regret very much to announce the
sudden death Of James Adair, of Adair's
Station, Monroe county, in this city last
night. The old gentleman had been here
for day or two, the guest of his son.
Last night about supper time he fell over
and expired in short tune. An examine.
ton revealed the fact that his death re.
suited from apoplexy. His remains will
be taken home over the Southwestern road
to-day.
Geo. Screamer, of New Cumberland, w
Va, was arreeted for drunkenness last
night
Samuel Lovejoy was arrested yesterday
for knocking down his brother-in-law on
