vile.
There are number of others whom the
reporter failed to get but whose graves
will not be forgotten by their comrades.
The grave OF Mrs. James Sterling, better
known as
Mother" Sterling,
mother OF the postmaster of Wheeling, will
also be decorated. Mother Sterling was

good acts toward the Boys in Blue during
and after the war, and woman who was
universally loved and respected for her
good deeds and charitable acts while liv-
ing. No woman took more pride and
worked harder to make Decoration Day a
success than did she, and now that she is
gone, her memory will be kept green and
cherished in the e.. A. K. by strewing her
grave with beautiful flowers.
Quite a commotion was raised in Judge
HanCe's court Thursday evening by Cap
tain W. \. Walden, a prominent member
of the bar OF this city,
Bitterly DenOuncing Jury
of Twelve good men and true, as corrupt
ignorant sCalaWags. The trouble with the
Captain was this: He was counse! for a
plaintiff who sued 4 man for 5000, and the
Jury returned q verdict for the defendant
who was represented by Governor Richards
and Judge Martin. This made Walden
mad, and in his remarks TO the court asking
for new trial he took occasion 10 go for
the jury and the Jury system. The most
remarkable thing in the matter was the
Judge, who sat and listened to the TRADE
on the Jury without interfering. one
member of the bar said there was nothing
strange about it, that Walden had run the
courts of this county for eight or ten years,
and he supposed he would continue to do
80.
The news OF
DIR. w. w. McLane's Withdrawal
from the Presbyterian Church before his
Heresy case had been taken up by the Gen.
eral Assembly, now in session at Saratoga,
created great deal of comment in this
city. 1t Is the opinion that the Doctors
action was done in the interest OF peace
and harmony, and il makes him all the
more popular with his old congregation
here. Out of the entire congregation only
two members are against McLane and his
book. 1t is intimated that the whole
trouble was caused by a certain Presbyter-
ian D. D. OF this city, who was anxious to
GUST McLane from his present position,
and thought THE Cross in the Light of
To-day" was a good thing to commence on.
There is one thing certain, il the doctrines
contained in that book are heretical there
are plenty of heretics in Steubenville.
