SEEKING DEATH IN THE RIVER.
A Man Who Did Not Dare To Fac0 SorlO
Charges Against Him.

"A Man Who Did Not Daro To Faco Serious
Charges against Him.
A most shocking story of crime is de-
velOped ut MekeespOrt. Robbins u Co.'s
coal road is located on the MODOngahela
river, q short distance above the city, and
Sunday morning at five o'clock tho mutt
lated body of Edward COulsOn was found
floating among the coal boats at that
point. In August last COulsOn married
Jeanette Jenkins, and shortly thereafter
Julia Crawford, handsome girl Of IL
years, made a serious charge against him.
COulson succeeded in persuading her to let
tho matter drop, confessed his guilt to his
wife and was forgiven. All was quiet then
until Saturday, October21, when COulsOn's =
sister Lizzie, aged 20 years, preferred
another serious charge against him. Whom
Cuulson's wife heard of this abe went to
him and said, with tears in her eyes :
"This is worse case against you now
than tho Crawford girl case" He was
shaving himself at tho time, and when in
answer to his queries his wife told him
what was the matter ho grabbed the razor
and ran out of the house and was never
again seen alive by any ono, SO far as is
known.
Sunday morning, just about the time
his body was found, his sister, who was
confined in house only a few hundred
from the spot, gave birth to child. The
dead mans body still lies uncarcd for in
the mud at the rivers age.

Useless Efforts.

There is no doubt that whatever slim
ulation can be given by machine meth
DDS to the machine Republican ticket
will .be administered to it whatever
money can do, and agents bought by
money, will he done. BY these methods
many campaign has been Won, and
those who have SO often been sue
cessful with them are 10th to believe that
the case they are now treating is beyond
their efficacy, as it certainly is. There
is but a certain number of men who can
he bought and but a certain proportion
of fraud that can he successful. The
votes needed to be obtained in this way
in this election to make Beaver governor
are too many, and no apprehension need
he felt that they will be got.
The old device of providing a betting
fund is being freely used, and men are
found who are willing to wager even
money on Beavers success. The fact
that his chance is nowhere considered to
be anything like an even one, is sufi-
cient proof that these men, if they are
ordinarily sensible people, are not Offer
ing their own money, but are simply
the agents of corruption fund.
Our local colums tell of the theft Of a
collectors tax receipts, which are found
to be in the hands of the machine Re.
publican agents a circumstance which
shows the characteristic methods they
will he free to employ. We are advised,
too, of the issuing of circular
to the pensioners of the United States
demanding their votes for Beaver to
save their pensions another device,
showing the quality Of the work done
for the machine ticket.
All of these tricks will lie vigilantly
watched, ineffective though they will he.
Their exposure will lose more votes for
Beaver than they will make for him.
This is not a good time to be caught at
cheating /; public sentiment is not kind
TO It.
