many q tale unfold. Not . week passes but
that some heart-broken father or brother
seeks their aid to recover Q daughter or
sister Who has strayed from the country
and been led into the path OF darkness and
sin. or these the public know nothing
as they are generally kept very quiet, but
ways supply 1t.
"Who was the young woman, OF good
family, who tried to commit suicide"
asked q visitor to the city OF a well-known
man about town, yesterday.
"An poppy cock" was the response.
"You know newspapers must be filled UP
somehow and when actual news is short, the
general utility man grinds out something
imaginary and runs 1t in. Your tender
confidence will be the ruin OF you some
day. A woman may have tried to commit
suicide, but twas smother one"
So
Somebody started the report and gave it
currency that q conference would be held
here, yesterday, between officials OF the
county and officials Of the Ohio River road,
touching the Withholding of the $4,000
subscribed; and all morning the county's
officials were skipping about looking for
the other side. A letter was received at
this office from one of the gentlemen con-
neeted with the road, saying he knew OF
and had been invited tono such conference.
OF course ID was held and there was no
use for one.
Msjah Cardwell was released from the
city Workhouse yesterday and sent to Vir-
ginis. 1t was sad thing to see man OF
his ability and attainments in such situa-
ton. That he was both educated and schol.
arIy there was no doubt, and there is little
doubt he behaved very badly while here.
Several gentlemen, all old Virginians,
made up purse yesterday and sent him
home, where it is hoped he will stay and
keep sober. OF notoriety, he had enough,
every paper from Chicago to Boston giving
him q gentle lift. Content with his laurels
he should sober up and go to work.
There is a story current that, taken in
this connection, should be OF interest 10
parents. Ayoung girl is said to have left
New Martinsville and come to this city for
a visit. But, instead Of meeting lady
friends, che was met by young man and
taken to a disreputable boarding house, on
the European plan. Here she stayed for
several days, being "out on a fly" as she
termed il. and returned home after four
days OF this species OF fun. There may be
no truth in this particular story, but that
such things occur there IS no shadow OF
doubt.
The Governors office is closed these
days, as business in the executive line is
dull. His Excelleucy and the MAJOR are
81 mmering at the OIL City and prospecting,
presumably. Yesterday afternoon
,trangef read the sign, "Open until P.M.,"
and nearly kicked the door down in his
t Efforts 10 get in. After he had routed out the
entire force il vas found he only wanted an
autograph. He took the janitOr's as a sub
stitute, labeled it Gov. of w. Va" and
it and know the difference, anyhow" he
murmured.
II is true bill that spiritualism has ia
ken q new and great hold on the good peo-
ness is good Or not cannot be told. One
medium found out, by means of trance,
that the couple livi ng under her were
quarreling, and leaning out OF the window
she listened. The man wanted divorce,
bat the woman was sure she loved him too
much for that. Il love you too much,
my dear John" she said, land if you go
west | will attach your little wages, just
for love- Mediums have tough stomachS,
and this billing and cooling must have been
siCkening, for the medium said:
Pom my soul, felt like throwing a
shutter down on them"
A strong tendency to romance is an &c
tive feeling with many persons, AMI its
latest manifestation was in a midnight
marriage that took place recently. The
Bride was Miss Matte Gibson, a very pop.
ular young lady of tue corps of teachers Of
the Union district school. srd at her de-
sire the wedding took place Just at mid
night last Sunday n:sht. The groom was
Il. 7. Glass, Of Clinton, and the attendants
were Mcssrs. Oscar DUnlsp and Charles
KYLE, of West Liberty, and Misses Hannah
NcMrTray, OF Clinton, and Sadie Arm.
sir,nc. OF Wheeling. Precisely rs the
midnight chimes tolled they faced Rev
Coleman, of West Alexander, and were
made man and wife. They are now living
at Clinton.
There was a noticeable absence on the
streets last night OF young girls on the
lookout for mash. Perhaps parents have
needed the warning SO often given and
have interested themselves in finding
where their girls are at night. Still some
go out and find various preteXts for so do
ing. The other morning. while going
home at a late hour, | ran across two
couples standing on the post office corner
They hsC been to dance or out on the
rOad. and girls as we'll as boys-all were
very yOung-were quite drunk, and were
taking and laughing both loudly and in
dtceDtly. When their parents next saw
them, / wonder if they inquired where and
how hose girls spent the night. This is
the way girls go to the bad.
What will be the oUcome of this mat
ter?" asked the writer Of President Woods
of the Board OF Commissioners. But h.
gave it up. He didn't know and didn't
seem 20 care much. He said that Will.
the money was voted Internationally, We
there was = verbal understanding that IN
company was to construct an Independent
line; and now the county wanted guar
antee TO that effect.
What kind Of guarantee"
We'll, We want to see that agreement
with the B. & o., is about the truth OF it,
The result of the thing will be-" said
lawyer standing near, that the company
will get out a mGRdGmUS and compel the
county to turn over the money. 1t can
certainly do it"
Clerk Woods thought that would be
good thing to do, as thea the people co4ld
not complain of the Board.
