Case similar to Guiteau's.

The case Of James B. Graves, ON trial for
the murder of Edward p. Roden, was sub
mitted to the jury at 2:15 p. m, at Newark,
N. j., yesterday, after a charge by Judge
Depew, who instructed them that moral
insanity was simply depravity. The test
of insanity recognized by New Jersey law
is the ability of the accused to distinguish
between right and wrong. The burden of
proof is on the prisoner. If he had not
proved it to their satisfaction they must
convict. The jury came into court at sos
o'clock with a verdict of murder in the
first degree. Graves heard the verdict un-
moved. He was remanded for sentence.

me great m r.lraetlon OF tne day tne
Every day hundreds of people wend their
way TO this store and purchase can of tea
OF coffee for 81, and get with it present
worth all the way from 10 cents to $50.
The tea and coffee are both of a superior
quality, and even if there was no gift
whatever the price paid is indeed low
enough for the article itself. Elegant
watches, rings silver-services and other
costly gifts are daily drawn by the lucky
ones. Thousands of dollars are also given
away in money every day.

Revival Mt the Metropolitan Church

A series of evening meetings are held
daily at the Metropolitan Methodist Church
from 7:30 to $3.50 o'clock. The exhortations
and prayers on last evening were appro-
pirate, solemn and impressive. The church
was warm and comfortable, and all were
invited to participate in the exercises of
the meeting. Three ladies professed con-
version, and the meeting closed encourag-
ingly. There are many vacant seats which
might be filed. None need remain away
for the want of room. A good, solid, sub
slantial, common-sense revival of religion
is very much to be desired in this church,
and the present indications are favorable
for such results. 1t is to be hoped that an
humble and devout effort will be made by
all interested, and that the meetings will
be characterized throughout by that de-
corum which is so becoming in the home of
the Lord. Young men are especially in
vited-to attend the services.

AbandOniug Posters,

The Madison Square Theatre the most
successful playhouse in New York, has no
faith in large posters and bill-boards. 1t
does all of its advertising through the
legitimate channel of the newspapers, and
has reaped a rich pecuniary harvest from
the seed sown in this way. Commenting
ON this the Boston Sunday Courier says !;
advertising ON the walls belongs to an
age when newspapers were few, and should
be discontinued with other useless fashions
which have had their day. 1t may do to
herald the approach of circus with fam
ing pictures, but the unsensational drama
needs no such flashy pictorial display"

sent.mentaIism About Crime.

In recent case in Philadelphia Judge
Biddle took occasion to pay his respects TO
the tendency of sentimentalism ON the sub
ject of crime, which he declared is
gradually putting justice on the defensive.
In the trial now going on at Washington,
he said, a stranger might suppose that the
Judge, the district attorney, or, perhaps,
the President of the United States, was be-
ing tried. He certainly never would i'm
agine that IL was Guiteau.

patible with being Governor Of New

attractive in power, independence, use
fulHess, and the constant pleasure and
satisfaction of its exercise. 1t would be
the widest folly to resign it for an in

THE wheat crop Of this country the
present year will be almost unprece-
dented. The Bureau of Agriculture
places the yield at 5OOyoOO,Oe0 bushels,
while other authorities which claim to
be equally well or better informed place
it at SOC, OOe, 900 bushels or more. The
New York Commercial Bulletin pre-
diets that the crop will not be less than
$50, OO0, 900 bushels, and probably more
than 500, 100000 The discrepancy be-
tween the calculations Of this paper
and the Government Bureau is due to
the fact that, while both are practically
agreed as to-the acreage, the former
places the yield per acre considerably
above that put down by the Bureau OF
Agriculture. The Bulletin computesthe
acreage at 40, SOC, 900, and predicts that
the yield per acre will be closely in the
neighborhood of fourteen bushels. This
would give yield of 55l 100000 BUSH
els. At all events, it appears certain
that the country has wheat enough for
home consumption and the large for
eign demand which the failure of the
crop 10 England, together with the dis
turbances of foreign war, are likely to
create.

THE WHEELING AND CINCINNATI
MINERAL RAILWAY.

The SUNDAY REGISTER on yester-
day published an account Of meeting
of capitalists in Baltimore last week,
which was held for the purpose Of con-
ssdering the best and Speediest means to
he adopted for the construction OF the
above named road. All the particulars
of the enterprise were set forth at
length. The proposed road, it is said,
is to extend from Bridgeport, opposite
this city, to Cincinnati, with branches
from Senecaville, Ohio, connecting
with the Cleveland, Tuscarawas VAL
lev and Wheeling Railroad, and from
or near McCohnellsville down the valley
of the Muskingum river to Marietta.
It passes through the finest farming
region of the State of Ohio, which is al
so undertake with vast beds of coal, iron
ore, salt, fire and pottery clay, petrole-
um and limestone, Leaving the Ohio
river at Bridgeport, it viii follow the
highly cultivated valley of Wheeling
creek to st. Clairsvile; pass through
Morristown, crossing the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad at the city of GAINESVILLE.
A. This point the live stock traffic Of the
State, between Chillicothe and Barnes
willie, for Baltimore and the East can be
transferred to the Baltimore and Ohio.
At Point Pleasant, fifty-one miles from
Wheeling, it is proposed to connect
with the Cleveland and Marietta road.
After passing through ChillieOthe it
will cross and connect with the Mariet-
Ia and Cincinnati road. 1t is claimed
that il will be the shortest route from
Hillsborough to Cincinnati, and also
all Eastern cities. Right of way has
been secured nearly the entire way be-
tween the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
and the Muskingum river, dis
lance Of nearly 40 miles. The citizens
of Morgan county, Ohio, have promised
to subscribe Sl50,OO0 to the enterprise.
The line from Senecaville to Cumber-
land, 12l miles, known as the Eastern
Ohio Railroad, is now in operation and
the grading is completed for some dis
lance beyond Senecaville. 1t is pro-
posed to complete the grading to Me-
COnnellsville Immediately, and then
open the line from that point to the
Baltimore and Ohio road, a distance of
20 miles, which will be known as the
MeConnellsville division. BY this plan
the line will have the benefit of COM
petitive northern and eastern outlets by
- s%-~eaO
from Point Pleasant to The Pan HanuI,
route of the Pennsylvania Railroad a.
New ComerstOwn and also by the Bal
timore and Ohio at Campbells.
The above is simply review of the
pans and speculatiOns concerning the
read, as set forth at the recent meeting
of those interested, and we give it Tor
what it is worth.

Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
of weight in the back, loins and lower part
of the abdomen, causing the patient to sup
pose he has some affection OF the kidneys
or neighboring organs. At times, symp-
toms of indigestion are present as tiatu-
ency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture, like perspiration, producing a
very disagreeable itching, particularly at
night after getting warm in bed, is very
common attendant. Internal, External
and Itching Piles yield at once to the aap-
plication of DR.. Bosanko's Pile Remedy,
which acts directly upon the parts affected
absorbing the Tumors, allaying the intense
itching and effecting permanent cure
where all other remedies have failed. DO
not delay until the drain on the system
produces permanent disability, but try 1t
and be cured. Price, so cents. Sold by a.

THE FEDERAL BOSSES.

With all due respect to the opinion of
the REGISTER, We beg TO say that We
happen to know that the Democracy of
Wetzel is neither owned or controlled
by MessrS. HALL and WILEY, nOtwith-
standing they may have left the editor
of the REGISTER under the impression
that they "bOssedn the unterriied in
this county WCtzci Messenger.
Mr.. HART, editor of the Messenger,
you are not an ass, and you need not
try to make people believe you are.
You know that MessrS. WILEY and
HALL never attempted to give the
editor of the REGISTER the impression
that they "bOssed" the Democracy of
Wetzel, and you also know that the
editor of the REGISTER never said or
intimated that they did. In fact, the
editor of the REGISTER never
said anything on the sub
ject, and this you also know. You
quote detached sentence from cor
respondence, and then quote it as the
opinion and saying Of the editor. Be-
ing an editor yourself you know how
unfair and unprofessional this is.
Now that you have mentioned the
subject the REGISTER will point you to
case of "ring" composed of the
'bOSses" ola political machine" whose
doings you might do we'll to investigate
in the interest of pure morality and per-
sonal independence and report thereon
from time to time.
An ex-office-hOlder, one who held
fat Office at the hands of GRANT, HAYES
and ARTHUR for many years, was plae-
ed in nomination by convention led
and manipulated by Federal office
holders, for a seat in Congress. One Of
these Federal Offiee-holders was made
Chairman of the Republican Commit
tee Of this district, and it is made his
duty to "whOop up" organize and bring
to the polls the faithful of the party
and his salary is paid out of the peoples
treasury, at Washington. Another of
these prominent Federal office-holders
was made Secretary of the Com.
mittee, whose arduous labors
are also paid out of the
peoples treasury at Washington City,
and Democrats and Republicans are
alike taxed for the purpose. The ex-
penses-legitimate and illegitimate-of
the ex-ofice-holder's effort to get a seat
in Congress will also be paid out Of the
peoples treasury at Washington-and
this is one reason why the Republican
Congress refused to reduce the present
onorous burden of taxation.
When our Brother HART looks care
fully into the iOings Of this office
holders ring and makes a candid report
thereon, we shall read with it pleasure.
