LEWIS SUTTON, mention of whose
serious illness was made in these col.
amns last week, died on Thursday morn
ing at his residence, three miles east of
this place. Deceased was born in SON.
erSet county. New Jersey, March Slst,
1898. In 1907 he removed with his
parents to Westmor-land county. Pa,
and two years later, in 1909, removed to
Belmont county, and settled on farm
two miles south of st. Clairsville, where
they resided for many years-the father
of our subject, Jonathan Sutton. dying
there. April 1, 1917 Lewis Sutton was
married to Miss Eleanor G. McWilliams,
who still survives. and in 1874 he pur-
chased the farm where he lived the
balance of his DAYS. From this brief
sketch of the life of the deceased, it will
be observed that he was one of the early
settlers of this region, and his death
snaps another link from the chain, fast
crumbling, and which connects the pre-
sent generation with that distant period.
Deceased was one of the heroic, sturdy
men of his time. He WAS Industrious
and frugal, and succeeded in gaining Il
competence which, in later years, he en-
joyed as the fruit of honest labor. He
took great interest in public affairs, and
was close observer of passing events.
IN his religious faith he was a warm ad-
herent of the Presbyterian church, and
contributed literally to its support and
to all its benevolencies. He was an en-
Ihusiastic student of the Scriptures, and
in the seventeen years preceding his
death read the old and new testament
thlrty-fve times. He was one of the
projectors of the Union Cemetery of this
place and much of whatever is beautiful
in that resting place of the dead is due
to his unceasing interest in that behalf
He was a good citizen, a kind friend,
an affectionate husband and a tender
parent.
His funeral took place from his late
residence on Saturday. Religious SER
vices were conducted by Rev. Robert
Alexander, who spoke appropriately of
the life and character of the deceased,
and a feeling PRAYER was uttered by Rev.
Doctor. Minor. Friends and neighbors
for the last time viewed the face of the
deceased, after which the funeral cor
tege moved to the Union Cemetery in
this place, where the remains were de-
posted in a patent bur- lar proof vault,
furnished by 3. r. Johnston, the under
taker.

LAST Friday evening four important ar
rests we're made in Wheeling,by which it
is hcpr,l that the fire-bug gang which has
kept that city in terror for some weeks
past, is broken up. The prisonere are
four North Wheeling boys. ranging in
age from IA to 16 pears, named John
Griner, "A Abraham Boston, j ohm McCleary,
and George Gray. The evidence against
the boys was worked up by Mr.. Parkes,
secretary of the GlrsS Works burned in
North Wheeling. on Sabbath night of
last week, and C. H.. Collins, the agent
for the insurance companies having
risks on these buildings. At midnight
on Friday Gray weakened. and made a
detailed confession of the crime, saying
that he with the other boys under ar
rest, had set fire to the glass house. and
also the copperas works recently burn
ed, had tried to burn the Register Office
and other buildings.

BURGLARS forced the door of the Ma
tional Bank at Smithfield, on Friday
morning, and in doing SO made such a
racket as to wake the cashier, VIM. Yer
million, who resided near by, who imme-
diately began an investigation into the
burglarious visit. One of the burglars
who stood guard ontside of the building
ing, gave the alarm, when the parties in
side rushed out and boarded wagon,
with which they were provided, and
were driven rapidly toward Steubenville.
The burglars, when they were discover
ed, were engaged in drilling hole into
the vault door, and broke drill in the
attempt, They did not succeed in enter
ing the vault, nor in securing anything
of value. 1t is supposed that the party
is the same gang who have been blowing
safes along the river recently.
