BENwOOD POLITICS.

The Know-Nothing editor of the Bellaire
Tribune, and Patrick Scall, have formed
themselves into mutual admiration socie-
ty. When the one ducks his head the 9TH
er comes down in graceful imitation; when
the one says 'rah for Blaine" the other
yels himself hoarse, without knowing for
what, only to lie obedient to the knight err
rant.
We find this sentence, Consistency, thou
art q jewell fully exempli6ed in the New
York Tribune, urging the workingmen Of
the country to support its candidate as the
only true representative Of the working
classes. At the same time this same paper
has violated solemn agreement entered
into with its laborers and turns them out
of its Office without q moments warning,
simply because they were union men. This
is nice paper to advocate the interests Of
the workingmen.
Mr.. George Edwards of Moundsville, and
l.. P. Gray, of Round Bottom, are promi-
nently spoken of as candidates for the
House Of Delegates on the Independent
ticket, with Capt. Showacre for Sheriff 1t
will be strong ticket if brought out.
The attempt to win the Knights of Labor
of this place over to the support of the Flu
sion ticket has 80 far proven a signal fail
ure. The Knights will not support any Of
your kid glove gentry. They know their
friends and will support them loyalty at the
polls.
The Cleveland and Hendricks club had a
rousing meeting at the club room on last
night. A large number signed the roll. The
Democrats are enthusiastic here and expect
to give the tickets, both State and national,
big vote.
Some Of our citizens are the recipients of
he Irish World gratis, they not knowing
who they are indebted TO. All they know
is that the paper has been sent to their ad.

had as well save their money Ford's paper
does not have any influence here.

The club elected permanent officers as fol-

Smith. An Executive in connection with q
Finance Committee was appointed. A
large number added their names to the
roll and the club starts off with boom. A
gentleman who has been voting with the Re
pubEcans for the past four years entered the
hall and signed his name to the roll, stating
that few hours before he had been handed

Strange Facts Which Cannot be Accounted

Strange Facts Which Cannot be Accounted
for by the Doctors.
A dispatch from Mt Morris, N. Y, to
the New York papers, relates sigular NAL
ady which troubles former Bellaire lady:
The statement which has been given wide
publicity in the newspapers, that a daughter
oil the Hon. A. c. Ramage, of Bellaire, O.,
who was bitten on the right hand nine years
ago this summer BY copperhead snake,
has suffered intensely on each anniversary
of the day on which she was bitten, the arm
and hand becoming swollen, and the origi-
nal symptoms of paralysis appearing, has
aroused much interest in the medical pro-
iession as being something unprecedented
in genealogical phenomena. The incident
however, has recalled the circum-
stances attending similar case which
Ccurred in this county. Col. George
II ith, who was Livingston countys first
rssemblyman, in 1922, married q girl who
vas bitten by rattlesnske in 1903. Her
life was saved, but regularly every year on
the day OF the month on which the bite was
inflicted, the SYMPTOMS of the poisoning yio-
,ertly returned. The part bitten, her ankle
nc, anne black and swollen, and the entire
leg was affected by it. The paroxysm Of
pa n that followed the original injection Of
poison resPpeared and the victim suffered
terribly. The symptoms gradually grew less
violent during the day and on the day fol-
lowing entirely disappeared. These vista
lions became more violent every year, and
On the thirty, appearance the paroz-
ysms were so violent that Mrs. Smith was
unable to wear through them, and she died
in the most intense agony.
Miss Ramsge's return symptoms are
characterized by similar increase in yio-
lence, and it is feared that the visitation
this year will prove fatal. She was bitten
on the 18th of August, 1875.
