YESTERDAY Officer Morris found small
boy about ) years of age wandering around
in the It'll ward. The officer took the boy
% the Atlantic engine house, where after
repeated efforts it CLEANED that his
name was Jacob Seager, and his parents
lived in Bridgeport. Word was sent to the
Marshall of that town, but at this writing
his parents had not been found.
LAST evening Jacob Green, an employe
at Peter Erbs livery stable, secured the
loan of Mr.. Ed. Mendels horse and buggy
and took his lady out riding. Opposite
Frank Walters two-mile house collision
took place between his buggy and one
driven BY Lawrence Heller, both vehicles
being upset and badly broken up. Both
gentlemen caught their horses before they
succeeded in running away. None Of the
occupants of the vehicles were injured by
their sudden contact with the pike.

The Transfer Of ting Managing Control of
the Register.
On Saturday afternoon the negotiations
were completed and papers signed by which
the controlling interest held in the West
Virginia Printing Company by Mr.. Lewis
Baker was transferred to Mr.. James B.
fancy. The transaction completely severed
Mr.. Bakers connection with the REGIsTER,
which passed at once under the manage
ment and control of Mr.. fancy.
The future movements of Mr.. Lewis
Baker have not yet been decided and his
plans not matured. With his wife and fam
lily he will probably spend the winter in the
South-perhaps at New 0rleans-and he
may visit California and the City of Mexico
before his return. His health has been
more robust than usual of late, and his trip
nill be purely one of relaxation and recrea-
ion after life of unremitting labor in the
journalistic vineyard.

Plays Havoc with the Happiness of q
West Virginia Couple.
Many people in Wheeling, more in the
State at large, and-all of the members and
officers of the Legislature of 1879, will re-
member James B. Crouch, committee
clerk of the House of Delegates and an en-
gazing and affable young gentleman withal.
1t now seems, from the stories floating in
the telegraph that Crouch has been playing
fast and loose with the affections of his wife
and flying about with fascinating French
woman. 1t seems that he and his wife
lived first in Bellaire and then in Cam
bridge. While at Bellaire Mr.. Crouch was
prominent in church matters, and his esti-
mable wife took leading place in Sunday
school and church work She was regarded
as one of the foremost ladies of the city,
and was endeared to all who knew her.
They moved to West Virginia, his native
State in 1868, and Mr. Crouch was elected
bv the Legislature one Of its committee
clerks. At the expiration of his term
of Office he changed his politics,
and, with his wife, moved to Florence, Kan
sas where he hung out his shingle as an at
torney. Things went along swimmingly,
until last fall, when his wife became very
sick. She was induced to return to his rela-
tives in West Virginia. She remained there
until last July, when she returned to her hus-
band, having been advised by friends in their
new home that Mr.. G. was not behaving prop.
erly. She was Mortified on her return to find
that her husband was so fascinated with his
new-found French companion that he had
lost all interest in his lawful wife. Her en-
treaties, tears, pleadings and reasonings
were of no avail, and she at last had to re-
sort to the coarts for divorce, Crouch's
own people assisting her in obtaining her
release, and providing for her at their own
home. Crouch has gone with the French
woman and his wife is at the home Of his
parents in West Virginia The poor woman
is deeply sympathized with by her many
friends in this section, while Crouch is con-
demned by all

ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK
Tor n Grand Saengerfest in Wheeling


Tor a Grand Saengerfest in Wheeling
Next July.
The outlook for grand Sasngerfest at
Wheeling, next year, is very fattering.
The societies havingit in charge will spare
neither pains nor energy to put it through
and when they undertake anything they
usually make it successful.
The delegates who were appointed some
time ago by the Germanla, Beethoven, Mo.
Fart, and Mennerchor Singing Societies, to
make arrangements for the Sangerfest,
which is to be held in July 1885, met yes
terday in the hall of the Mennerchor aud
effected a permanent organization. The
committee appointed at former meeting
to solicit subscriptions for a guarantees
fund, reported very fayorably. Everything
seems to be booming along.

NATURE AS AN EMBALMER.

The Corpses of Two Brothers ENhumed
After Many Years and Found as Natural
as in Life.
ALANY, October 2G.-John W. Brasure,
during his experience as an undertaken, has
met with two singular cases in exhuming
bodies. On one occasion he was called
upon to exhume the body of a man who
had been buried twelve years. When the
coffin lid was removed the body was found
to be in an absolutely perfect state of pre-
servation, Just as il the deceased had died
moment before.
Not even were the eyeids or lips discol-
ored The teeth and eyeballs we're perfect.
The flesh was unbroken and plant to the
touch The clothes were without faint and
every thread was uninjured. Day before
yesterday Undertaken Brasure was called
upon to exhume brother of the deceased
from the same Bethlehem burying plot.
The second brother had been buried twenty
nine years. He was about forty years of
age at the time Of his death.
Absolutely Perfect.
This corpse was also absolutely perfect,
even to the preservation of the hair The
pads under the chin we're as neatly and
perfectly folded as when laid there twenty
nine years ago. The flesh had taken the
Ieathery, westher.beaten color common to
seafaring men. The eyeballs were just as
moist and perfect as at the time of death.
Mr Brasure says he has exhumed hundreds
Of dead persons, but never met with case
40 remarkable as those OF these two brothers.

man farm laborer, named John Medlar was
shot dead recently near here BY Charles
Eppler, his former employer, Of whom he
was demanding payment. Eppler dug a
hole in the farm and buried his victim. The
crime would have probably remained con-

children, been revealed, who said their
mother had been crying for long time be-
cause their papa might be hung for shooting
a man. This led to an investigation which
disclosed the murder.

After Iioctisn, wisooni

From the Detroit Free Press,
The man who didn't bet on the election
is the most sorrovful chap in the country.
He firmly realized three months ago just
how il would turn out, and he meant to
put up at least hundred dollars in
money, six hats, four canes, five boxes of
cigars and gloves enough TO last him ten
years. For some reason he didn't do it..
He knew that delays we're dangerous, but
be kept letting go to get better hold, and
the ballot boxes closed without his having
made a wager There was still time
Tuesday evening before the returns be-
gan to show up. lie knew exactly how
every state had gone and he could figure
the general result to dot, but when men
shook greenbacks under his nose and
tepderly advised him to put up or shut mp
he didn't go down into his pocket. He
felt sorry for 'em. All the weather
prophets predict hard winter, and be
didn't want to feel that his winning a
wager would take the shoes off Of
children's feet and bread cut of theiI
mouths.
And thus it came about that the far
seeing sons. of.seventh sous chaps, who
could have told any of US four weeks age
how to win Jersey COW or trottDg
horse are about the only meu in this
country who won't win or lose a cents
worth. They might as we'll have made a
cool hundred thousand apiece, but they
couldn't bring themselves to do it.
