IT IS SAID that Governor StoCklrv re-
turned home the other day, after con
ference with the Democratic leaders
under the profound impression that H
K. Pennington, tsq., was the man tc
receive the appointment for a "non-par
ti7an " Municipal Judge. Reports say
that Mr.. Pennington will receive liz
commission early next week, in time to
give him an opportunity of putting the
machine in good working order, and of
looking up some good, lie long Demo
Crat, like James O'Toole or William j.
Maxwell, to act as a nOn-partisan clerk
We do not SUPPOSE that it ever entered
into the mind OF the Governor that there
were Republican lawyers in the city,
from amongst whom very competen !
Judge could be selected.
We do not hear that any Republican
even was called into the consultation
with the Governor in regard to who
should be the Judge. Such a course
would have been entirely outside Of
and beyond the non bipartisan" course

Auditor RAll's l,uty.

IL Is great mistake for a city officer,
especially not connected in any particu.
lar manner with the Water Depart
ment IF the city, aud elected by the
City Council, 10 act in the interest of the
Water Commission which Council does
not recognize. We refer more spe-
cial'y 10 City Auditor Ball in this con
nection than to any other city officer
Mr.. Bali is in no shape nor manner
connected with the Water Department.
His duty is IA see that all bills passed
by the City Council and ordered TO be
paid are correCt-that is, to see that
there are no errors in them, and that no
part ot hem are paid twice with these
errors, il there BE- any, corrected. All
Mr. Bail has to do is to approve the bil,
and 'et 1t 90 to the City Treasurer for
pay .nent. If Mr.. Ball WAS an otti-
Ger Of the Water Department, like Mr.
Bond, the case In ght be different. Mr..
Bon" Is not only Water Registrar,
elected by the City Council, but the
Water Commission bill makes him the
Clerk of the Water Commission, thus
placing him in dual and embarrass-
Ing position. His duties, too, are differ
ent from the duties the Auditor, The
receipts from the Water Department
all 60 through his hands, and being
Registrar of the Water Department for
the city, aud Clerk of the Water Com
mission, no surprise need be manifested
at his embarrassment We understand
MIR. ''"nd has something over thousand
dollars in his hands belonging to the
city, collected from the Water Depart
ment, but which he has not paid over
into the City Treasury, not knowing
under the circumstances whether to
pay 1t to the city or to the Water Com
missioners. Mr. Bond is taking mol
more precaution than any other careful
Resi should take, and If the City
Council wants the use of the morey in
his hands it should protect hlm by prop
er indemnitication az it did in the case
of City Treasurer Pierce. For Mr. Ball
there Is 10 excuse whatever, and there.
fore his refusal to approve all bills sent
TO him, that are correct, even though
they belong to the Water Department
cannot be justified by any sensible
course of reasoning. Happily, the City
Council has a way ont of the difficulty |
and can pass the bills and order them
paid without the sign manual of the
City Auditor, who, in his refusal to
audit the pay rolls and bills belonging
to tn" Water Department, has shown
him self to be more anxious to serve
political machine lhan to perform his
sworn duty to the city.

The Storm OH Lee Greek.

ED. FREEMAN About ten o'clock
on night of the 14th inst, | was
suddenly aroused by terrible,
rushing mighty wind, and spring.
ing out Of bed was just in time to
witness the severest wind and hail
storm we have had in this section
for long while.
In less than five minutes it was
all over and it's work of destruction
was done with us and it passed on,
leaving its marks to be.seen for
many years to come. The cyclone
unroofed log barn for Mr.. Wash
Smith, a kitchen for J, w. Pigott,
and everywhere in it's track tore
up and demolished fruit-trees and
leveled to the ground hundreds of
panels Of fencing. Every field on
my place was thrown open, and in
the space of few hundred yards,
twenty-seven forest trees were up
rooted and broken down. TIE
roof of my wood house was carried
off.
In this section the track of the
storm is about five hundred yards
in width where it began and end
ed | know not.
A neighbor riding up the next
morning said he was ruined-all
blowed to pieces.
The damage will be great to the
wheat and fruit crop which was
very promising.

Temperance Telescope.

The Temperance Telescope is a
most capital invention for studying
the various horrid phases of the
liquor traffic and its evils.
1T is published by the National
Temperance Society, So Reade
Street, New York, and gives four
teen vivid views through bottle,
taking in all the hideous phases
and woeful experiences Of drunk
enness in its progressive stages
from the first drink, on down to
delirium tremens.
The illustrations are conceived
with perfect aptness, and are most
striking and instructive. AS
picture book for children, it will
leave an impression of dread and
hate against strong drink, on the
young minds, that lifetime can
not remove.
Everybody ought to sake look
through this telescope.

Battle of Pennshoro.
Prosecutors that Don't Prosecute.

ED. FREEMAN On the night of
the 10th inst, a most disgraceful
affair occurred at Pennsboro,
caused by rum. A certain IN. D''
got himself as full as was necessa-
ry to make him vicious, and then
with revolver started on the "war
path" and was soon in trouble.
With terrible oaths he presented
his pistol to the breast of man
by the name of Riley, and threat
ened to kill him, &c. He also
hurled stones and shattered the
window of the telegraph office.
Taken altogether it was a most
disgracefu, affair.
There have been no arrests and I
suppose will not be. The officers
of the law know that liquor is be-
ing sold unlawfully, but make no
effort to suppress it. The sober
and respectable people of the place
seem to be under a reign of terror
and afraid to do anything. Richie
county needs a prosecutor who
would crush out these places of
evil. The temperance people
should see to it that such a one is
elected next time.
Central Station is cursed with
unlawful liquor selling and will be,
for the same reason.
The people can have no hope of
relief from officers of the law who
will go into unlawful places and
get drunk themselves.
Mr.. Editor, it is time to hold up
these derelict officers to public
scorn and insist upon the people
having them impeached and brok-
en- from office. Unless relief is Civ
en-, the time will come when the
people will rise up and stamp out
these places Of ruin. TEMPLAR.

1t will be observed that the vote
OF the county is light, owing to
the fact that the circuit Court was
convened at the Court House on
Monday the day before the cleo
ton, and great many were too
remote from home to return home
to vote, having to attend Court on
the day following the election. Had
there been general turn out,
Browns majority would have posi-
bly, reached one hundred.
1t will be remembered that
Judge J. III. Brown cast his vote
last winter on the side of Prohibit
ton and in favor of the peoples IN
terests. Hence the good people of
Clay county have said to him,
"Well done, thou good and faith

Beautiful Eyergreens.

A year ago Mr. George Dana, the
nurseryman Of Belpre, Ohio, kind
ly donated number of fine ever
green's to the M. e. Church in this
city. The trees were of different
sizes and varieties, and were so ar
ranged in the large lot by the side
Of the Church as to form screen
which shuts off the view of the
back yard through which the coal
carts are driven for the supply of
Church and parsonage.
The trees were so vigorous and
the transplanting so carefully done,
that all are growing and doing well.
Mr.. Dana's generosity deserves rec
ignition.
Those who wish pleasant walk
or drive would enjoy a visit to his
nursery, where all sorts of shade and
fruit trees, grape vines, &C., are
grown in profusion.
Now if our Methodist friends
would only get a lot of Mr.. Dana's
naples and set along the curb
stone in front of their church and
parsonage, it would be another
step in the right direction and add
greatly to the beauty of their eligi-
BILE property.

High School Seniors.

On Thursday last, the Senior
class of the High School, number
ing 10 ladies and young gentle
men, were taken on a pleasant en-
gineering tour by Sup't, Prof. A.
L. Purinton.
Their objective point was the B.
& O. Railroad Shops. where Mr..
Laird, in charge. introduced them
to the mysteries Of railroad engi-
neering. After seeing all that
could be seen, Mr.. Laird invited
them all into one of the Com
panys steam wagons, and gave
them the pleasurable emotions OF
an aerial flight in an engineers
cab, by trip over the magnificent
bridge across the Ohio.
They had most enjoyable time
for which all were most,grateful for
courtesies and kindnesses shown
them by Prof Purinton, Mr.. Laird,
the engineer, and other officers and
men of the B. & o., who so cheer
fully contributed to their pleasure.

Their First Social q Splendid Sue
cess.

Hetr FIFSt SoctGI Sptendld Sue
cess.
The unanimous judgment now
seems to be that the ladies of the
Young Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union hold the key to the
situation in Parkersburg in the So
cial field of conflict with the liquor
traffic. That they have the van
ta5e ground and have a mind to
make the most of it, was manifest to
all present, at their first public So
cial last Thursday evening at the
M. E. Church.
The house was crowded and more
than crowded, and yet the mixed
audience listened throughout with
closest attention to the excellent
program provided.
The leading features of the lite
rary exercises were the recital of a
most pathetic story with touching
effect, by Miss Bette Devol, and an
original poem on the fatal delu-
sions and sorrows of the wine cup,
by Miss Carrie Scofeld, both of
which elected unbounded ap-
plause.
First, however, came the read
ing by Miss Cooper, of a letter from
Mrs. Barnes, President of the Ma
tional Union, and we could not
forget about Hans and Katrina
setting the hen, as recited by Mr.,
Cook Devol to the delight of every
body. And then, too, "Mary had
a Little Lamb" as rendered by five
nationalities, was a most amusing
dish of fun we'll served.
The "3 DIS and T." Quartette
were on time and gave us excellent
music, Miss Lizzie Wells favor
ing the company with solo, also.
But we were so absorbed in taking
in the occasion and affair as a
whole, that we took no notes at all,
and can only speak generally as to
what was thought of it." So far
as we listened, everybody said
splendid success"
At the completion of the litera-
ry and musical program, Rev w.
A. Powell, who was the honored
spokesman for the ladies, an
nounced that refreshments at will
and social converse would be the
order of the evening henceforth,
and in twinkling the jammed
house full of young folks, was bub-
bling with social chatter and
turned into a mass of merriment,
with cream and cake accompahi-
ments.
In a word, the Social was splen-
did success in every way, and the
ladies are being congratulated on
every hand.
The sales of ice cream and cake
amounted to nearly $50 and better
cake and bigger slices, with fuller
dishes of cream for Is cents we new
er saw. There is nothing close or
parsimonious about our Young La
dies Union.
We are glad to know that these
public socials are to be repeated at
comfortable intervals They will
do we'll to calculate on the whole
town being out at the next.
