Cruel Murder OF q Young Lady Tor +"
PnItry sum.

A Newcomerstown Ohio special to the
PHILADELPHIA Press says: About O'Clock
last Sunday morning Miss Nancy Rowe,
girl about seventeen years old, living IN
Peoria, Union county, started from The
residence OF her sister. Mrs. George Arg0,
to 90 home, short distance away. Thls
was the last ever seen of her alive. On
search beng made the dead body OF Miss
Rowe was found in the creek, and circum-
stances seemed to indicate she had been
murdered. The water where the BODY
was found wac only about nine Inches
deep, and there were marks OF violence on
her person.
A coroner's Jury was at once summon
ed, and investigation and a p0St-m0rtem
proved beyond doubt that the girl had
been murdered and thrown in the water.
The flesh on her neck was much bruised,
and gave evidence that she had been choked
to death. The jury returned ayerdict that
Miss Rowe met her death by violence III
the hands OF her brOther-in-law, George
Argo, and he was accordingly placed I'M
der arrest. Miss Rowe was soon 10 re-
ceive $500, left by her grandfather, and it
is thought Argo murdered the girl to get
the money. rs the will declared the 5000
should revert to Mrs. Argo should the girl
die without heirs. There arc threats OF
lynchimg Argo, and he is closely guarded
from the mob.

MARCH 2S, 1888.
The strike OF the tobacco operatives con-
tinues, and by threats OF violence and
other means of intimidation the roll-ma-
kers have prevailed upon the stemmers TO
desert their benches, and this morning all
the manufactures are idle. The Labcring
Association. composed OF negroes, which
instigated the strike, met Yesterday eve
ming and appointed committee TO confer
with the manufacturers but the latter
positively refuse to comply with the de-
mands made upon them, and declare their
purpose to resist the strikers TO the last.
There has been no outbreak, and all
fears on that score have been quoted
by the non-UniOn operatives joining the
strikers. The hands engaged in this move
ment have been ont OF work for most OF
the winter, and have no means OF sustain
ing themselves and their families in case
the strike is protracted; and for this,
among other reasons, 1t is believed that
the trouble will be terminated shortly by
the operatives returning TO their benches.
The Chamber OF Commerce, through its
Executive Board, yesterday extended a
formal invitation TO the American lnsti-
tute Of Mining Engineers to meet in Lynch
burg in May, and passed a resolution re-
questing the City Council TO repeat IFS in
vitation OF two years ago.

county, several days since; aged ninety
nine years. Her daughter died recently in
the eighty-Gfth year OF her age, and she
has a surviving grandchild siXty-eight
years old.
The Board OF Fire Commissioners have
determined to nominate Mr.. Alexander

having previously decided that in the pre-
sent crisis It was expedicDt 10 make party
nominations for the various county oi1ces
TO be filed at the ensuing spring electlohs,
a Convention for the purpose was held III
this place on the oath instant. The large
attendance, both on the part OF delegates
and spectators, and the general spirit OF
harmony and enthusiasm which peryaded
the meeting, attested the interest which the
people are taking in this matter. This
county gave the Mahoneites ga black eye"
in the shape of nearly five hundred ma
jority against them In the election last fall,
and il is not proposed TO let them recover
from that shock before giving them another
"stunner." Nominations for the more
important county Offices were made as fol-
lows: For Commonwealth Attorney, L.
II. billiard. the present incumbent; Trea-
surer, L. ID. Divers, the present incum-
bent; Sheriff, o. Ii. Price.
While, as Is natural, theie was some DIS
appointment dIuDuS thV iii'hh' VI wv w

that the Convention did good days work,
and has put strong ticket in the field.
Most crafty ing of all is il that the defeated
candidates and their friends, so far as
heard, though disappointed personally, are
still "solid - for the party.
Next Monday is our county-court day,
but, as am advised, there is no business
OF general public interest TO come UP.
The deepest snow Of the season fell here
last night and to-day. averaging from eley-

MARCH q. 1888.
The death OF Mrs. Resale =. Sampson
caused widespread regret in this COM
munity. Apparently well on Thursday
last. she was taken suddenly i'll, and on
Friday she died-the cause OF her death
being apopleXy. This lady was highly es-
teemed by her large number OF friends.
She came here some years ago from New
York to educate her children, bought pro-
perty, and had secured the respect and
kind regard OF every one who knew her.
She leaves four children, two Of whom are
grown. She was buried from the Presby-
terrain church Sunday afternoon. Mrs.
Sampson was sister Of the late Patrick
Henry Aylett, of Richmond.
Yesterday morning horse attached to n
light Jersey wagon, in which were seated
MesSrs. Willie and Richard Parish. took
fright on the corner OF Market and Union
streets and dashed down towards Main
street with frightful velocity. The seat Of
the Jersey tilted and threw the young gem
tlemen out-one on the side and the other
behind the wagon. Mr. Richard fell upon
his arm and received severe contusiOns,
though happily no bones were broken.
Mr.. Willie had his ankle badly sprained.
The horse ran the wagon against +. NJ,
Wllls's sign-post, corner Union and Main
streets, left il there, and went on. This
point was crowded with colored people.
but they scattered like chat before the wind,
and none were hurt.
The cornet has been adopted in the Dis
ciples' Sunday school.
Revival services commenced in the Mt.
Zion church last night. They have held
meetings at the Delevan for some weeks.

the remainder OF the pamphlet was IN the

penny toward the fund, never pretended
to have any sympathy with The Land
League, and Is not an Irish woman.
