AN Ono MINISTER'S DOWNFALL.
"A sad story of the faithlessness Of
a man who had taken upon himself
the hottest of vows is agitating some
Of our friends over in Ohio. Rev.
(save the mark y Behalf has been
in charge OF the Ballsville, Ohio,
circuit for the last two years and has
been well liked by his people. They
looked upon him as good man and
one trying to do much good in his
calling. He has q wife and three
children and his domestic happiness
was all that could be desired, as far
as his neighbors knew. 1t seems,
however, that he has weakness for
women, and it now comes out that
last spring he became enamored with
one Rosa Arnold, a fifteen -year-old
girl in his employ. His wife noticed
their familiarity and told him he
must not be so familiar with Rosa or
people would talk; so he sent the girl
to Waynesburg, Pa.
On Friday the 18th inst, he told his
wife that he had letter from his
mother, who was very i'll, and wanted
him to come and see her before she
died; SO he started in post-haste to
see his another" with the under
standing that he would be back in a
few days.
When he had been gone a day or
two he wrote to bring the children
and meet him at Armstrong; Mills,
station few miles below Beallsville
on the b. q. S. w. r. r. She had
only one dollar, but spent seventy
five cents of that to comply with his
request, thinking, as he said, that it
would be nice trip for her aud the
children.
The nearer the time approached for
the arrival of the evening train from
Bellaire the greater was the aniety
to see the husband and father, but
their happy expectations were all in
vain aud they we're sadly disap-
pointed, for the faithless father failed
to make his appearance to the anx-
ious waiting wife and children, and
it began TO dawn upon her that she
was the victim Of misplaced conf
dence. She began to feel that it
might be possible that the object of
her lifetime affections had cruelty
deceived her; yet she hoped she
might be mistaken, and that her
companion would return as he had
always done before. She returned
home possessed of mingled feeling
surprise and sorrow-not knowing
what day would bring forth-in
blissful ignorance of the fate that
awaited her.
Last Friday she received two let
ters which relieved her somewhat of
her anxiety and suspense relative to
her husband. But what relief!
She found that all her hopes had been
in vain--that she was indeed deserted
by the one she thought most dear.
The first letter she opened was from
her truant husband, stating that he
had concluded to go West, give up
preaching and go intoethe book bust
ness. The other was from her sister
in Mt Union, O., informing her that
Mr.. Bedall had passed through there

days last week three young men, two
of them named Campbell, from Fay
cite county, Pa, were loafing around
town drinking and trading horses.
On Saturday one of them wanted to
buy farm (and for the purpose of
looking at some land went home with
George Gamble. The land was ex-
amined and seemed to suit and every
thing indicated trade. On Sunday
young Campbell left Candles and
came to town, ordered his buggy and
skipped out" for the camp meeting
grounds. Soon after his departure
George discovered that his pocket
book containing several hundred dol
lars in money and notes was missing.
Suspecting young Campbell George
Immediately started in pursuit over
taking the thief at the Camp ground
and recovering the pocket book and
contents all in good order.

The STuRM MURDER CAsE-MR.

The STuRM MURDER CAsE-MR.
SRuRM's STATEMENT--AN ENTIRELY
DIFFERENT VERSION OF THE STORY
Rev. +. M. Sturm, of Grant dis
trict, this county, (Cabell, called at
our office on Monday last, 14th inst,
and gave us an account of the man
ncr of the death Of his wife, nee Rose,
who died suddenly on the Bird day of
June, 1882, at his residence in Grant
District, one mile from Milton. He
says that at dinner she ate hearty-a
good dinner having been set in antic-
ipation Of the presence of Rev. Law
renee, of the NJ. f. Church, who, by
the way, failed to come. The older
folks had finished dinner, and the
children were being served. Mrs.
Sturm was pouring out coffee for
them, when she suddenly set down
the pot and started out at the door,
and called back, saying, "Sturms,
I'm flooding to DEATH" He went to
her at once, and found her suffering
from a hcmmorrhage peculiar to fe-
males, to which she had been sub
ject, at intervals since the birth Of a
child year before. She was very
much excited and alarmed, and ran
rapidly towards small stream one
hundred yards away, and sat down
in pool of water Here she re-
manned about twenty minutes, when
he saw she was growing worse and
called for help and carried her to the
house, placing her on bed, when
she died within five minutes. Mes
sengers had been dispatched fer a
surgeon and ncighbors, who began
coming in-the first one, lady, ar
irving just as she breathed her last,
and few minutes later, DR.. Bowles
arrived. When Mr.. Sturm first step
ped out of the door boy o. IL years,
named Lony Shaffer, was passing by,
and was frightened, seeing which and
regarding his youth, Mr.. Sturms told
him to go in the house, which he did,
and remained until about the time
of her death. Mrs. Roberts, the
dearest neighbor, who arrived first in
answer to the messenger, lives with
in five hundred yards of his house.
The death of Mrs. Sturm was solely
due to the cause named, and it was
SO known and regarded.
This statement is made because OF
the publication in the newspapers OF
a scandalous report regarding the
| cause of the death of Mrs. Sturm,
and about other members Of the fam
w. AS to the latter it is true that
one of Mr.. Sturm's daughters was Sc
duced at Waynesburg while attend
ing college there by man who had
promised to marry her and who had
procured Mr.. Sturm's assent to the
marriage, through another daughter
who made the inquiry Of him and
through whom he sent favorable re-
ply. AS the result Of this a child
was born, which is now being cared
for faithfully by the mother, and the
preliminaries have been arranged tc
bring suit for seduction and breach
of promise if the delinquent can be
found-he being now a fugitive.
Mr.. Daniel White, who lived neigh
Dor to Mr.. Sturm, in Greene county
Pa, and now lives neighbor to him
near Milton, called in company with
Mr.. Sturm, and vouches for the truth
of the foregoing particulars.-Haat
ington Advertiser.

since Friday last. On Sunday an
immense audience was present from
all portions Of this county with a
considerable sprinkling from Marion.
The number present was variously
estimated from 1000 to $500. Three
sermons were delivered and received
strict attention from the religious
element of the crowd. The ministers
Revs. Lawson and Steptoe received
numerous compliments for their eff
forts. From this place it seems every
