committed robbery near that place on
Monday night. Between 10 and II o'clock
the house, Of Harvey Jackson, an aged
farmer, was entered by masked men.

taken from theirbeds, bound hand and foot,

to $l75 in gold and 500, in cur

victims lying on the floor in
their night clothes, still bound, and with
both doors open.S The poor creatures
were compelled to remain in that condi-
ton until 4 o'clockin the morning, suffer-
ing intensely from tho cold. The men
were tracked through Bowersville and in
this direction. Owing to the age OF Jack
son and his wife, their recovery from the
rough treatment received is regarded as
extremely doubtful. Their daughter was
badly frightened, and Inns been in con-

TnE people OF Wheeling know what it
costs to have their municipal legislature
made up mainly OF incompetent mon
men TO whom they would not entrust any
important private affair Of their own. The
people know this, they know how it has
happened, and they ought to know when
the appeal Of the demagogue is made 10
Them. The people are now asked to
authorize loan for $500, 900 to meet lia-
blI'tyagreat part Of which ought never to
have been incurred. This money must
be paid some day, and unless We turn
over new leaf there will be more Of the
same kind.
The burden falls not only on men who
own real estate, but rs well on men who
rent. The humblest man is interested in

Jones' Criticlsm. -
WASHINGTON, y. c., Dec. 2l.-The
utterance last week Of Chairman Jones, Of
the Republican National Committee, fol.
lowedby thcreioinder oiSecretary Chanf.
Ter, furnishes the subject for considerable
talk in administration circles. The mem
bcrs OF the Cabinet show privately their
indignation Mt the charge brought against
them by the Chairman OF the committee,
and express the opinion that the gauntlet
having been thrown, tho inside iurts con-
nec;ed With the infringement OF the cam
palgn must now come to light. A friend
of Secretary Chandler said to your cores
pondent to-day that quite early in the
campaign the Secretary had conference
with Mr.. Jones and other members of the
committee in New York, in regard to
the canvass, and TINT his sugges-
tions were not received withapproval. lie
was opposed to sending agents to the
Southern States with money to expend
there, but Mr.. Jones gave to all suggestions
! cool reception, and Mr.. Chandler claims
that he was made, 10 feel that his advice
was not needed. t|sasEzl
Secretary Teller, in speaking of the
statement OF Dir. Jones, said to-day that it
was an untruth and had no foundation.
In fact, it was within his knowledge that
every member Of the Cabinet anxiously
desired the success OF the Republican
ticket, and did what they could to bring
this result about. Secretary Teller says
he went to New York and gave the com.
miltee some good advice, and had this
been followed defeat would probably not
haTe come. Mr.. Jones ran the campaign
according to his own ideas, and Mr.. Clcve-
land was elected. Mr.. Teller expresses
himself as glad that Secretary Chandler
had written his letter in reply to the
charges OF Mr. Jones.

a divorce on tho ground Of lissertion md
