TOO MUCH WIDOW p!
Two WOMEN CLAIMING THE BODY OF A
DEAD BRAKEMAN.

We mentioned last week the killing of
a brakesman, on the Portsmouth Branch,
at Efforts. He was engaged in switching
cars, and was standing upon car wait
for the train to back up to the car on
which he was standing, ready to make
the coupling. The concussion of the cars
coming together threw the man-Wesley
Leasure-off the car, and under the
wheels, where he was mangled to death.
This is the horrible reality. The Chill
licothe Advertiser furnishes the romance;
Leasure used to live in a portion of Ross
County known as Tar Hollow, and while
there was married to Margaret Strawser,
by whom he had four children. They af-
terwards parted but not divorced.
The woman with whom he had been
living just previous to his death claims
that they were married in Boyd County,
KY, but fails to produce the marriage
certificate. Her name is given as Mary
Blackenship, and she is said to have two
children.
When the news of his death reached the
first wife, she went to Chillicothe, putting
up with the second wife, and they attend
ed the funeral together riding in the
same carriage. Margaret claims that he1
husband, was never married to Mary, and
both are talking of suing the Railroad
Company for damages Leasure was
buried in the Station Grave Yard, al
| Chillicothe.

STOP THIEF!
johnson Furnishes a Watch Dog!

The way to bring out all there is bad
in mans record is to get him started
on the downward road-get him accused
of crime. Many are the incidents of the
wickedness and the worthlessness of the
man johnson, now confined in our Coun-
ty Jail, but many of these stories may
have arisen from an unfortunate combin-
alton of circumstances. He accidentally
killed his wife a short time ago, in Sci
otoville, by pointing revolver at her
and accidentally pulling the trigger.
And various other unfortunate circum-
stances do people distort into alleged hor-
rible crimes But here is story which
is undoubtedly true: A few years ago
johnson was hanging around Olive Fur
mace, in Lawrence County. A number
of petty stealings had been perpetrated
about Olive, and the proprietors conclud-
ed to set trap for the thief, whom they
had every reason to believe was johnson.
So they sent out word over the furnace
ground that they wanted to buy large,
fierce watchdog, to keep in the company
store. The word had hardly been circu-
lated before large, fierce dog was
brought in by Johnson. The proprietors
at once saw the point. This was dog
Johnson was acquainted with, and which
would doubtless not allow any one but
johnson in the store after night. The
dog was not bought, and johnson soon
found out that Olive Furnace was not
good place for him.

TOM MORGAN AGAIN!
He Confesses the Robbery of
Old Man Johnson!

Thomas W. Morgan, the young man ar
rested for the robbery of Mr.. John John.
son, confesses that he is the man. After
being brought here last week he was TAX
en- before Mayor James, where he ac-
knowledged that he was the guilty party,
and signified his entire willingness to
plead guilty before the Court of Common
Pleas.
We remarked before that there was a
very striking similarity between this
case and the attack upon Samuel L. Hull
by John w. Jackson. This young man
heard that johnson had money, and he
determined, while in Jackson, to go to
Johnson's house and take it, or some of
it, away from him. According to his own
story, he went down the Railroad from
Jackson, leaving the road near Stewart
Cherington's crossing. He went to the
house of a man living in that neighbor-
hood, and inquired where John johnson
lived. He kept up this inquiry until he
found the location, at one place learning
from the conversation, that the old man
had recently sold some hogs. After 10
eating the house, the amateur robber
went to barn not far away and remain
ed over night. On the next day he long
ed about the neighborhood until even
ing, when he went to Johnson's house.
After he had entered the house, johnson
asked him what he wanted.
Money! replied Morgan.
"I have no money" said Johnson.
"What did you do with the money you
got for your hogs?"
"I haven't gone after it yet"
Morgan then struck him with a club
which he had in his hand. He knocked
Johnson down, and took from his pocket
a pocket-book, which he opened and took
out what money he saw, and threw the
book away, he thinks near Keystone Sta
ton. He then came to Jackson-as re-
lated last week, and after loafing around
here day or two went to Columbus.
On the evening of the robbery, Morgan
came to town and gave ten dollars of the
money to an inmate of house of ill-fame
in this place.
After Expressing his valise to Colum-
bus, he went on, and the police there,
though having the valise, failed to catch
the man. Sheriff Cherington and VIM.
DuHadway went to Columbus, and found
at the Craig House the name 'T. w. Nc
Claim" registered. They took that for
their man, being Morgan's initials, and
set watch for him, DuHadway meeting
him on the street, when he was arrested.
He is said to be a young man of good ed
ucation, and attended Athens College for
time.
When johnson came to himself, after
being struck, he found the boy-who
lives with him-lying at his feet. The
boy declares that he, too, had been struck,
but he showed no marks, and Morgan de-
clares he did not touch him. Morgan
says he was alone in the robbery.
Morgan was indicted by a special
Grand Jury on last Saturday.

The COUNTY INFIRMARY!
What II Has Been Doing For Unfortunate
Children

| Superintendent Harbarger, of the coun
ty Infirmary called at this office on last
Friday, and gave us few items of infor
nation relative to the work of the Infir.
mary in caring for poor children. 1t will
be remembered that the Directors have
been deliberating as to the best method
of caring for poor children, and they ex-
pect to be able to announce some definite
plan in very short time.
Mr. Harbarger has been experimenting
the establishment less than five years.
During that time 200 children have been
admitted to the Infirmary. Of this num-
Der, have died-fve of them being in
fants, diseased from birth; have been
sent to the Reform Schools; 35 have been
placed in homes; have been sent to asy-
lums-4 imbeciles, and deaf and dumb;
125 have been discharged to parents and
guardians, and 27 remained in the Infir-
mary on the 7th of March.
Of this number will be taken to Pike
county, discharged to parents, 1 taken
to the asylum, and taken to Lawrence
county. This will show 81 children sent
asylums, and will leave 1S still in the In
frmary.
This certainly speaks well for the sani-
tary regulations of the Infirmary, but
out of 200 having died, in almost five
years, and five of these having been born
lnvalids, the case being that of a boy who
took the fever and died. 1t is hardly
probably that any County can make a |
better showing than this.
1t will be observed, from the figures |
given, that 125 children have been re-
'urned to the custody of parents and |
guardians, showing that the great body |
If children placed in the Infrmary are
'nly placed there temporarily. Jackson
county has right to feel proud of the
management of Infirmary, and Superin-
endent Harbarger is to be congratulated
lpon his success in the faithful discharge
# his trust. There are at present So in
mates in the Infrmary.
MI. Harbarger has promised to furnish,
n the near future, some interesting sta
istics in regard to the management of
aupers in this County.

1t is just wonderful what convenient
articles a person will run across when in
d. D. Dungan's great grocery and provis-
ion store.
Last fall we bought load of kindling
wood. 1t was green ash, and after a
years seasoning it will be all right; but
now it is slow to take hold. We needed
some good matches, and going into Dun
gan's store to get them, we saw box of
kindling. 1t contained cakes about the
size of the palm of mans hand. They ap-
peared to be composed of saw dust and
rosin. We bought box, containing 200
of these cakes. One of them will start a
fire, while a fourth of one, and a little
kindling on top of it, will start fire in a
very short time.
The fact is, you can get almost every
thing you need in family, except dry
goods and clothing, at Dungan's.

Oak Hill Reading Room.


Pursuant to notice, the third meet
ing Of the friends of the Reading Room
enterprise was held at the Portland
School Building, March 9th, with
Rev. Thos. Roberts in the chair.
The chair first called upon DR.. Grif-
fifth to address the meeting. DR.. Crit
fifth responded with short address, in
which he spoke in favor Of the pro-
jected Reading Room or Library, and
advised its friends to form an associa-
ton for founding the same. Remarks
to the same effect were made by
Messrs. Roberts, Lewis, and others.
Then DR.. Griffith moved that an asso-
citation, called the soak Hill Literary
Association" be formed for that pur-
pose. After few remarks in its favor
We're made, the motion carried.
On motion committee Of five, con-
sisting of DR.. Griffith, Mayor Jones,
Messrs. Edwin Roberts, Joshua Lewis,
and Rev. Thos. Roberts, was then ap-
pointed to draft a Constitution and

and to report it at the next meeting.
On motion it was determined to
hold the next meeting at the Portland
School Building on the evening Of the
Oath Of March.
The meeting then requested the Sec
retary to publish concise report of
the proceedings Of the meeting in the

A Daring 90 RObber!

Charley Carpenter would not give
a man away" for the world, but we
heard a little bit of Charley's experience,
few days ago, which is too good
to be lost. Charley is engaged in busi-
ness in the lower end of town, and
on the night of the hanging
remained with party of friends at his
place of business, talking over the excit-
ing scenes of the day, until late hour
when he started for home. He lives
down on Portsmouth Street, near the
town house. When he passed the Glib
son House, he discovered that man was
following him. He hurried on home
ward; the man pursuing, evidently with
the intention of overhauling him.
After passing the corner of Pearl and
Portsmouth, he stepped into the yard
til the pursuer came up, when Charley
pointed one finger straight at him and
cried out:
"Haltp
The fellow probably knew that Char
ley had been an old soldier, and he
promptly halted, in fear that Charley
would shoot him, aoith his finger.
"Now," thundered Carpenter, "you have
forfeited your worthless life by pursuing
me in the night time, but if you will
promise never again to follow me, as
long as you live, I'll give you your worth
less lifep
The fellow in his fright at what he
supposed was a revolver pointed at his
head, stammered out the promise, when
Charley took his finger down, and per-
mitted the daring highwayman to escape

OAK HILL ACADEMY.

The eighth term of the Oak Hill Acad-
envy will begin April sth. Stephen Nor
gan is Principal, with four assistants.
From present indications the attendance
will be larger than at any former term.
There are better accommodations than
heretofore.
In addition to the common branches,
there will be classes in Geometry, Latin,
Rhetoric, Civil Government, Physiology
and Natural Philosophy.
We have known Stephen Morgan all
his life, and have met him often at Insti-
tutes, and observed his course as School
Examiner, and can conscientiously say
that he has few. if any, superiors in the
State, as a thoroughly competent, indus
trious, and successful educator.
