A commission of inquiry into theliquor-
traffic with reference to its connection
with pauperism. disease. and crimes has
been appointed by the Canadian Parlla-
ment.
A Pennsylvania manufacturing
company has bought all the liquor Ii
ccnses within several miles of the es-
Enlistment and thinks 1t has solved
the temperance problem TOR its en-
ployees.
Omaha is trying the effect of a high
license law. The price of n license has
been fixed by the city council at five
hundred dollars the State law, how
ever, would require it to be double

The Rumseller's Prayer.

o, Lord, | thank Thee for the past
prosperity in my business, that j have
been enabled to sell a large quantity of
intoxicating liquor to my neighbOrs;
and although l am well aware that
these liquors have done them no good,
but on the contrary have made many
of them drunk and abusive their fami-
lies, yet | have made a handsome profit
on their sales, for which, o, Lord, |
thank Thee. ] thank Thee, o, Lord,
for the preservation of myself and
family in peace and quietness during
the past night. True, | sent several
of my neighbors home drunk at a late
hour last night, who disturbed the
peace and q%uietness oftheir own tamli-
es-making them weep bitter tears
till morning; but we made a fair
profit on the liquor we sold them, and
rested well at night; for which we
thank Thee, O, Lord. And now. Lord,
send us thy blessing this day. Pardon
all our sins and especially that of hold
ing the bottle to our neighbours mouth,
and making him drunken; and yet, o,
Lord, we promise to do the same thing
this day, send us therefore many GUS

graded slaves to their appetites who
will part with their last cent for liquor;
for although we are ware that it is
fast bringing them to a drunkard's
grave, and their families to the poor
house: yet, o, Lord, we want what
little money they have left to educate
our family, and to raise our children to
responsibility in the world; and when
they have no more money left, we
thank Thee there is a poorhouse tC
which they may go, aud be supported
out of the taxes raised from the honesI
and industrious part of the community
Lord, Thou knoweth l never give the
drunkard liquor when l think he hal

when | find he has got nc more money
| then advise him not to drink too
much, and send him home to hi
wretched family, p%enniless and drunk

Killed by the Cars.

A sad accident occurred on the c., L.
& W. road, last Saturday, on the first
bridge over the creek this side of Bridge
port, near the coal works, which result
ed in the death of VIM. RObb, aged 81,
of Wheeling. 1t seems that he was a
coke burner, and had come over from
Wheeling to secure work, and with q
companion, was. walking out the rail
road on that effand. While crossing
the bridge, an excursion train overlook
them, and it seems Mr.. Robb became
bewildered, and instead of stepping off
to one side, endeavored to reach the far
end of the bridge, but was struck bv the
engine and thrown up on the platform
in front of the engine. He was severe
ly crushed and bruised, and was taken
back to Bridgeport on an extra train
and medical aid summoned, but he died
at o'clock in the evening. The engi.
neer, Tom Wright, who was formerly
on the Northern, done all he could 10
have the train stopped, but it could moi
be done in time to evade the accident.

Mrs. MARY JANE MILLER, who re-
sides in the east end of town, while TEN.
porarily insane, made an almost success
full attempt at self-destruction last
Thursday, by hanging herself. The
temporary insanity or despondency was
brought on by the sudden taking away
of morphine. of which drug she had
become slave, having started its use
as relief from pain. On Wednesday
she had been at the drug store and en-
deavored to get supply of morphia,
but the doctor had given orders that she
was not to have it. That evening she
was found in back street insensible,
and was removed to neigboring house,
from which she was soon after suffi-
ciently recovered to 60 home. Wednes
day night she WAS wild all night, and on
Thursday, had worked herself up to the
point of committing suicide. In the af-
ternoon her youngest daughter heard a
strange noise in the kitchen, and on
making an examination found her moth.
er hanging by the neck. She had secured
a clothes line, and having passed it over
a Joist, made moose in the end which
she had placed over her head. Her feet
were not off the floor, but so great seem.
ed her determination to die, that she al
lowed the weight of her body to hang
by the rope, and was rapidly choking to
death. The daughters screams brought
in Thomas Roscoe who was working
across the street, who took her down be.
fore life was extinct. The unfortunate
lady. who has been a asufferer for many
years, and her family have the svmpa-
thy of the entire community.

Burglary.

On Sunday night burglars made rait
on St Clsirsyille. and although they dit
/ ot get great deal of booty, it was no
fl OH any fault of theirs, AS three differ
ent business places were entered-J. B
Hoge's drug store, P. w. Dickey's groce
~. and Samuel Gsller's saloon.
At Hoge's drug store. Q half pane OF
glass was taken out of the door, and the
screws which hold the bolts of the loci
taken out and the door opened. 1t IL
not exactly known how much was sto
len, but all the show cases had been
rummaged over in the search for srti-
cles Of value. All the change in the
drawer. S25 worth Of gold pens, few
knives and pocket books, and probably
| some other articles not yet missed, were
the fruits Of their. venture.
At Dickey's. the door had evidently
been forced open with jimmy, as there
are marks Of some such instrument be-
tween the two doors, and the catch was
broken TO pieces, showing that censid-
cradle force had been brought to bear on
the door. About 81 in pennies and 9TH
er small change was all they succeeded
in getting for thi venture. VIM. S
Neiswanger, who resides over the store,
was awakened by the noise, and the bur-
glars were probably frightened away be-
fore securing whatever other plunder
they intended taking from here.
At Geller's saloon, both doors deied
he skill of the burglars, so their atten-
tiOn was turned to the window, and the
bolt which held the shutter was broken,
and an entrance effected through the
window. There the festive marauders
supplied themselves with a lunch, Liquor,
&c, and retired across the way to the
depo9, where they evidently did not
stint themselves in eithr article, and
threw away what they d not want. A
box of line cigars was also taken, and
some other articles.
On Sunday three very suspicious look
ing individuals stopped at the National
for dinner, and after paying for it start
ed down the back street, which was the
last seen of them for some time. They
were noticed on the Fair grounds sever
al times during the afternoon, and to-
ward evening walked down the narrow
gauge railroad and up McKelvey's hol-
low, after which trace of them was lost
until Monday morning, when they were
first seen at o'clock, passing Schoe-
macLer's; next they were seen-proba-
bly, dividing spoils-on the bridge just
east of the Stone House, and at 81
o'clock they passed Jacob Ennis, and
took breakfast with Samuel Stilwell, al
the Horner House. from which place the
trace seems to have been lost. There
can scarcely be doubt but what these
are the fellows who did the burglaries
here, at Belmont, MOrristoWn and other
points. Mr.. j. B. Hoge, accompanied
by Will Clark. of the National, followed
these parties in buggy, and were only
half an hour behind them, when they
lost trace of them where they had
brsakfasted. They started off in the di-
rection of Martins Ferry.

On last Saturday morning when Frank
Linn, proprietor of the hotel in Bel
mont, got UP, he found all the doors
about the house fastened with ropes, land
upon going into the hotel Office through
a window, discovered that burglars had
made an attempt during the night to
blow his safe, but the blast had not
been strong enough to get it open. They
got about $40, however, from the money
drawer. Had they succeeded in getting
the safe open they would have made a
big haul. Some suspicious characters
were noticed about the town all day,
and in the night Mr.. Linn heard noise.
but thought it was some belatsd lodger
getting in. They had stolen three hors-
es, and had them hitched nea to use if
they were discovered, but as they were
not, the horses were found where they
left them.
