To Business and Professional
men, DESTROYS of advertising their
wares or brains, we beg to submit
A FEW FREEMAN FACTS.
We don't say
His a Fact, that the FREEMAN has
a better general circulation in West
Virginia than any newspaper pub
lished either within or without
the State; but we do say
II asa Fact, as our regular SUBJ
scription mailing books show, that
during the year just closed, the
FREEMAN has been going to regular
subscribers through more than
40 WEST VA. POST-OFFICES.
IL IS a Fact, that for the last seven
months, our regular weekly issues
have numbered $500 and upwards,
of 1000, never below the former
figures.
II is a Fact, that advertisers, and
all parties interested, can learn the
exact number of each weekly edi-
ton by reference to the standing
figures at the head of the editorial
page.
II Is Fact, that we aim to ex-
clude from our columns all adver-
tisements of a doubtful or suspi-
cious character
II IS Fact, that we are glad to
confer and negotiate with Business,
Professional and Enterprising men
in reference to space and terms,
whereby we may aid in furthering
any laudable business, calling or
enterprise.

His Honor. Judge J. J. Jackson,
was on the Bench on Monday last,
and closed up the criminal bust
ness of the term, by passing sem
fences as follows, for counterfeiting
and passing counterfeit money:
Emanuel Alkire, $500 fine and
costs and three days confinement
in Jail.
Jacob Hashman, 500 fine and
costs, and three hours in Jail.
James Miller, three years in the
Penitentiary.
Thus closes a most remarkable
term for criminal business.
The U. S. Marshal, detectives
and deputies, certainly made a
most successful corner on the coun
terfeiters and mail robbers, and
if there were any counterfeit
"slingers" got away we are not adj
vised of it.
Here is the work of the term
in replenishing the Penitentiary /:
COUNTERFEITERs CONVICTED AND
SENTENCED.
james Miller, W. Cunningham,
Prewett Harvey, J. M. Cunning
ham, J. B. Shahan, F. D. LIEUT.,
T. w. Mannion, Daniel Hickman,
P. B. Pagan, and Jacob Stull, be-
sides E. Alkire, Jacob Hashman
and VIM. Collins, convicted and
fined, and two cases continued.
SENTENCED FOR MAIL RoBBING.
Albert Dawson, T. Gerome, Jo-
seph Fields, William Raymond,
and William Bunch, all sentenced
to the Penitentiary for various
terms and T. w. Russler, convicted
and fined for same offense.
Saying nothing of the numerous
cases for violations of the revenue
laws and law and chancery bust
ness of the term, we submit that
it was good time for U. S. Court,
and bad time for law breakers,
and that His Honor, Judge jack
son, Mr.. Flick. Mr.. Delliker, the
Marshals and all the deputies and
attaches thereunto appertalnlng,
ought to be voted vacation and a
free ride on the first train over the
Ohio River Railroad.

Hard Wood Lumber.

Under the above caption, we no
tice in the Pittsburgh Journal OF
Progress, an extended account of
the immense business done in lum-
Der and slaves by the firm of Kim
berland & Co., whose card in the
FREEMAN columns, our readers have
become familiar with.
The Journal Of Progress, after
highly commencing the firm says
They make specially ofoak, ash,
cherry, poplar, walnut and yellow
pine. They also deal in slaves and
heading, oil barrels and hoop iron.
They make speciality of West
Virginia products in this line, and
have direct communication with
some of the largest producers in
that State.
Last year the firm handled over
nine million feet of hard wood.
Mr.. Kimberland is live West
Virginian whom we have known
for years, and we advise our read
ers who are interested in lumber to
confer with his firm No.2Duquesne

And while the lynchers are in
the woods hunting the crazy VIC
tim of the grogshop, are there any
lynchers hunting the fellow that
made him drunk, or the fellows
that licensed the fellow to make
the man crazy drunk so that he
was demon enough to cremate his
child?

Captain Jim and His ShOt-Gun.
THREE DUCKS BAGGED.

Last Friday night Kaltnecker's
saloon and Stones mea tshop were
burlarized, and Fred Baker lost
$40 or $50 from his house.
On last Saturday Capt. Jim Me-
hen, hearing of a suspicious trio
out the road toward Claysville, got
shotgun and with McNulty went
duck-hunting. Alighting near
Claysville they hunted along the
river, keeping watch on three sus-
picious birds ahead of them, and
just at the edge of the city, Capt.
Jim covered the trio with his cock
ed blunderbuss and called halt.
"Man, you're off, answered back
the biggest Of the three, drawing
his revolver.
"No! I'm on i" retorted Capt. Jim,
with his ready aim; "but your
head goes of, unless your hands go
up, and that this minutew and up
went the hands, and while the cap
tain kept his fusee in this persuas-
i've direction, McNulty put the
handouts on the three.
In concluding .he little romance,
it is enough to say that burglars
tools, money and goods were found
on the prisoners sufficient to con-
meet them with the three robberies
mentioned.
On Monday Recorder Leonard
held them to answer and committed
them to Jail.
Mr.Kaltnecker identified a watch
and other property taken, while
Fred Baker found some Of his mon

them.

New YORK, Sept. 28.-The New York,
West Shore & Buffalo Railway company
and New York, Ontario i Western Rail
way company announces the opening of
their line of business between New York,
Albany, Utica and Syracuse, Monday.
October 1st. In addition to several local
trains day, express trains with parlor
cars and night express train with sleeping
cars through will be run regularly between
New York and Syracuse.
The main points for division of business
will be Boston and Chicago, New York and
Chicago, New York and st. Louis, and
New York and Cincinnati. The per cent
ages will be in effect from Sept.1st the date
of beginning of the pool contract, the rate
sheet taking effect Oct. 1 The first class
and theatrical rates betvt On New York and
Chicago remain as heretofore. The Erie,
and Baltimore & Ohio routes have diff.
ferent rate of $3.50 on frst class
against the tariff rate of $50 by tbs
New York Central and Penn
sylvania. Second class fare be-
tween New York and Oohicago was
made SIT the tariff both ways. Previously
the only read that charged the tariff was
the Pennsylvania. The Lake Erie l.
Western and Chicago & Alton route retains
low difference between New York and St.
Louis except in second-clsss west bound,
which was advanced fifty cents to $40. The
Indiana, Bloomington & Western was
given the same rates as the Lake Erie &
Western. The Ohio & Mississippi rates
we're the same as the Lake Erie i
Western, but were advanced on accouut of
improvement in the roads service. The
rate, west bound, from New York to st.
Louis by this road is made fifty GEMS more
than that east bound, because the running
time is faster from New York than ever
known.

A very pleasant event occurred last
Thursday afternoon, st the residence of
Mr.. August Jobst, at the corner of Living
stone a7enus and Isabella street, IN honor
Of the marriage of his daughter Katie to
Henry Pieper. The ceremony was per-
Termed by tbs Rev. Father Gallagher, who
nads the ceremony short, but very i'm
pressive. Although none but the imms-
date relatives and few of the most init
,aste friends we're present the pressnta-
Hon of gifts we're numerous and the pres
ents costly. VIM. T. Pieper, brother of the
groom, presented the couple with beauN-
fpl black walnut, msrble-top chamber suit;
Albert Oertel, one of the latest
style cooking ranges; patent rocker By
Frank Grossman, and silverwere and
dishes too Numerous to mention. After
the wedding q bountiful repast was spread,
to which everybody did Justice. The
evening was passed pleasantly and socially,
and at - O'Clock Friday the young couple
took the train over the Chicago, Milvcu-
kee and St. Paul road for Sheboygan,

CHICAGO. Sept. est appears that no.
body except President Ingalls,, of the
"Big -Four" road, who called for g. meeting
of managers of Chicago and Ohio river
roads in the interest of peace, to take
place at Cincinnati to-day, went to the
place designated. This fact leads to the
conclusion that none of these lines en-
gagged in the cut are quite ready to make
concessions, and in view of this the
opinion is general the war will extend to
freights before settlement can be
reached, though it is not expected any one
will precIpitate freight war till after the
Cincinnati meeting appointed for next
Monday. To-day Manager Richardson
was notified to close his Office and turn
over the effects to roads Oct. 1, the day be-
fore the time appointed for the Cincinnati
meeting. The consequence will be that
when the managers meet it will be not as
members Of common pool but as repre-
sentatives Of independent lines, 30 that a
new organization will have to be effected.

The employees of the American Express
company did very graceful thing last
evening, in presenting to Mr.. W. j. De
Force, very beautiful gold watch. The
recipient of this present has been in the
employ of the comp any for over ten years,
during which time he has not only gained
the full confidence and respect of the man
ager Of the company, but also the esteem
and regard OF the other employees in the
office. The occasion Of the presentation
was the fact that Mr.. De Force, having re-
cei7sd very fattering offer from the
Northern Pacific Express company,
concluded to accept the same.
On parting with him his fellow
colaborers, who have known him the
longest and most intimately determined
that they could not allow the occasion to
pass without due recognition. They there
fore contributed the necessary amount of
money and purchasing gold watch, last
evening, presented the same to him, Mr.
R. J. Mead making the presents-
tion. On the inside casing is inscribed
the following: ''To W. j. De
Force, from the employees of the American
Express company, as token of esteem in
which he has been held by the employees of
the company for ten years." The presen-
tation was made in the Office of the Amer
loan Express company about s o'clock last
evening, on which occasion all the en-
ployes of the company IN town were pres
sat and participated. 1t was very
pleasant occaaion. His new position will
be that of private secretary to NJ. G. Hall,
