William Bollinger, better known as Billie,
was killed on Friday last at Sabula, by the
falling of a sapling, which struck him upon
the head while driving his team through
the woods. Mr.. Bollinger was one of those
free, jolly and generous hearted boys who
occasionally are found scattered over the
country, and whose absence will make va
cancy not soon to be filed in his immediate
neighborhood. The sad accident occurred
about one O'Clock. The attention of Mr.
Wilson, who. was some fifty yards in adj ;
vance with team, also engaged in hauling
for VIM. Coleman, was attracted by the
sudden silence of lis companion, whose
cheerful voice had but 4 moment before
been echoing through the hills, and on going
pack he found Billie lying on his face, and
the team rearing up and endeavoring to get
away from the wagon. At the suggestion of
Wilson, he arose, and wanted to know what
was the matter, and did not realize his con-
dition for sometime afterwards, when he
Insisted on his wife being brought to him;
and upon being conveyed to his home,
threw his arms about his eldest child, boy
about 4 years of age, who had literally to
be forced away. He died about II o'clock
P. NJ. He leaves wife and three children
who deeply mourn his loss, and the sympa-
thy of the entire community is extended to
them in this their sad hour of mourning.
We copy special dispatch from Washing
ton to the Globe Democrat, dated the 9Th
inst, as of interest to the people in this
section:
After tonight the Presidents appointees
must wait the slow process of confirmation be-
fore entering upon their duties. The thought of
this has the effect OF making Democratic Con-
sressmen who were working for changes feel
blue. Mr.. Clardy is of the disappointed.
He doesn't say much, but he looks glum. He
has been erowding all he could to get action
on the Register of the Land Office at Ironton
but although there were two registers in to.
days list, Mr.. Clardy's district was not one of
them. The only explanation of the delay lies
in the peculiar position of the aH-powerfnl
Senators from Missouri. They have put letters
on file indorsing three candidates for this office.
The letters almost identical in language.
Respecting John Il. Scott's application, the
Senators write to Mr.. Lamar: ''We know
many of the indorsers to be honorable and
liable gentlemen, and commend 10 your careful
and favorable consideration this application
and indorsers.'
OF Mr.. j. t. Axe, the Senators write: "we
commend his application and Endorsements to
your favorable consideration and action"
For Thomas g. Foley, they write: 1--WE COM
mend the application and Endorsements of Mr..
Foley to your careful and favorable attention. !"
As the Secretary of the Interior cannot cut
the Registership into three pieces and pass them
around, the problem is puzzling. Mr.. Clardy
has been trying ever since he came on this time
to get the matter brought to a head and an APP
pointment made, but without success. Appar-
emily the triangular situation is too much for the
Senators.
