The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1884-05-08
From Berlin.
BERLIN, O., May 4th, 1884.

BERLIN, o., May 4th, 1854.
Mr.. Mackley-Dear Sir:
Mr.. Jackson has ably defended the
good people of color of our place, permit
me to say few words in justice to us
"white trash"
You do us too much honor, in your last
issue, doubtless Internationally. You
credit US with five of the inmates of the
Jail "all from Berlin" We own up to
Milt., but decline the balance with
thanks. We can say for poor keenan,,
that when he lived at Berlin, a private
citizen, he was good man, Sunday
school teacher, temperate, and of good
repute. In an evil hour he went to Jack
sequences. One of the Johnsons that
Berlin is credited with belongs at Wells
ton, the other lived in J. G. H. Cobbtown.
Minnie Roberts is the belle of Savanna
gan's hill" over on the other side of
Raccoon Creek. We know but little of
her here. She doubtless had her ups and
downs in life, like many others. She is
said by those who know her best, to be
able to take her own part, and give as
good as he sends, to any one that tackles
her. If the good people of Jackson will
take her out and stone her, and let him
that is without sin, cast the first stone,
we will all say amen to it. Poor thing;
she will, fear, be no better than she
should be, when she leaves Jackson. Van
Dorm Cassel lives near Middleton, the
county seat of Milton township, and by
the way, Mr.. Mackley, there is something
in a name. During the war Van Dorn's
good loyaiImother got "Harper's Week
ly" containing picture of Gen. Van
Dorm, never dreaming that such fine
looking fellow was rebel. She named
her boy for him. Had she named him
Madison Clay, or Rutherford Washington,
who can doubt that he would to-day be
good citizen, and innocent of the blood of
poor Phil. Hunter. Poor, comical, good
natured Phil, who could have dreamed
that his jolly life would go out in blood.
1 will be oery old, when I can no longer
recall his appearance, as he stalked about
in pair of gum boots, that had few
equals, and no superiors for size. While
his foot filled the immense space to reple-
tion, his legs played about in the upper
works like the dasher in churn. 1t is
seldom our little burg has any complaints
to make of the Standard, and when she
scolds, it is more in sorrow than in
anger" Berlin is old, and like the boys
great-grand-mother, mighty small Of her
age, and not ambitious to claim four
more of the inmates of the Jackson Bas-
tile than belongs to her.
Truly yours,
A. A. AUSTIN.

William McHugh was hung in Gin

William McHugh was hung in Gin
cinnati- on last Friday. His poor old
mother was distracted, and raved about
the Jail building like maniac while
preparations were being made to hang
her boy. This same faithful. loving
mother followed the drunken brute
when he was pursuing his wife with
butcher knife, warning and begging
him not to commit murder. She has
left no stone unturned in trying to
save his worthless neck fom the hang
man, and about the only redeeming
quality. the brute McHugh displayed
was his apparent love for his mother.
Of course there was mitigating
circumstance to this murder. On the
evening Of July 23rd, 1881. Mrs. Sophie
McHugh, pretty blonde, was stand
ing at Sixth Street Market Place,
when her husband came up behind
her and drove six-inch butcher-knife,
to the handle, in her side. The wo-
man expired Immediately. You ask
where was the mitigating circum-
stance? Why, the man was drunk!
He knew that if he got drunk, and
met his wife, he would kill her.
Therefore he went and got drunk and
hunted her up.
The lawyers and Courts have been
enjoying picnic out of this case for
nearly three years, and not until he
was thrice convicted did the hangman
succeed in getting him.
McHugh is dead, his wife is dead,
and his aged, penniless mother dis
tracted; and the doggery-keepers of
that neighborhood may now rub their
hands complacently and say: 'Our
work is going on vinely-who ish der
next von?"

A PUGEr souxD PARTY ~ MAINE.



On the evening of July lst a little
company of ten Puget Sound people
gathered at the residence of Mr.. George
Arnold and wife in the beautiful little
town Of SKowhegan, Maine. Mr.. Ar
mold was for several years interested in
the Wilkeson coal mine.
Among the number present were Mrs.
Ingalls, from Tacoma, Mr.. and Mrs.
Estes, who spent several months on the
Sound with their brothers. CYRUS and
William Walker Of Port Gamble, Miss
Laura Clark. who was with an uncle,
Captain Blinn. of Olympia nearly a
year, and Miss Hattie King. who spent
about two years with her brother, A. III.
King OF Seattle.
The conversation naturally turned
upon Puget Sonnd matters, and ~
many views of baildines and places of
inter- 1T on the Sound, and quite num-
Der of Western msmentoes and curiosi-
ties we're scattered about the rooms, il
almost seemed like little visit to the
Sound country.
TO add to the entertainment some
choice selections were read by Misses
King and Clark, and ine collation. OF
cake. strawberries aud genuine cream
terminated a very pleasant evening.
Mr.. Arnold Is nov doing tiourishing
business, both in the wholesale and ths
retail grocsry line. Mr.. Estes has a
large closhing establishment for gents.
and Misses King and Clark have the
finest fancy goods store in Skowheysn.
