PARkERsBURG, December 23.--Another
sad feature connected With the death Of
Charley Quinn has just been made public
here. 1t seems that the deceased was
engaged to be married to Miss Mary
O'Nsal, OF this city. and that her wedding
outfit had been prepared, and. the expect.
ant bride was on the eve Of departure to
ioin her betrothed in the West when the sad
intelligence of his death reached here.
The temperance meeting at the
skating rink last night was
one Of the largest and most enthusiastic
ever held in the city. The speech Of Rev,
A. B. leonard, late Prohibition candidate
for Governor Of Ohio. vas tie beat effort
of the hind ever made before q Rarkers-
burg audience, aud differed widely from
the msiority Of speeches upon THE engross.
ing subject. This was the speaker 8 tirst
address to O West Virginia audience. BE
desired to be tair TO alf-pArties Temper;
snce can only be dealt with successfully in
connection with politics Gladstone has
designated the liquor traffic as gigantic
crime" and such it is considered BY ct
least eighty per cent of the population OF
this land, and the great hour is, how to
consolidate that large per centsge and
hurl it against the liquor infaence.
This period being free from the
excitement Of q general election, is the
suspicious time to have an unpreludlced
discussion Of the subject. What we want
now is about ten millions Of declarations
of independence" on this subject by the
voters Of America. When this spirit ofinde-
pendence controls the ballot, then our homes
will be saved from the scourge OF intem-
persnce. Use a fine tooth comb on the
platforms of both Democratic and Repub,
iican parties for the past score of years
and the least particle Of moral principle
could not be discovered. Place and power
are the principles which have actuated the
old parties. How the anecdote OF the boy
and the coon afforded happy illustration
Of the great desire for place which exists in
the old party organizations. His keen 10
terests which hit both Democrats and Re.
publicsns, many Of whom were present, were
given in q manner that did not hurt the
feelings of the most sensitive party men
there. Just how it might be added that DR..
Leonard made many friends and his pres,
ence has done the cause good in this vi
cinity. he abused no one, but his whole
address was plain, practical view OF the
question. Referring to the issues claimed
to exist between the two old parties, he
showed that both were both consistent,
from each standpoint. In speaking OF the
wool tariff, and the protection of sheep
against the dogs, he drew comparison,
that showed lack Of protection OF the
boys and girls from the gigantic crime
By law, and Just here he stated that ever
since John Sherman voted for the reduc'
ton on the wool tariff, he had like Esau
of old been hunting for a suit
able place for repentance. Virtually
if the liquor men kill our
husbands and brothers, the Republicans
say, tax them and the Democrats say
license them, but if the dogs kill your
sheep they say shoot him on the spot,
"a happy hit at the Republican war cry Of
the last National campaign was here
made. The speaker very appropriately
dubbed it the dinner table bulldozing
.shich earned the the caption from the old
cry Of the high tariff Republicans, vote as
we dictate, or we will starve your wife and
children" For bis part he would prefer
il any, the alleged shot CUR" bulldozipg
for that was q game two could play at:
The speaker in eloquent language referred
to the recent memorable victory OF the
temperance people Of Atlanta and
drew hopeful picture of the
grand opportunity for the South to keep
the ball rolling until the temperance wave
sweeps across the entire Southern country
and rolling away over the whole North en-
gulGug in ruin every brewery and distil
iery in this fair land Of the free and home
of the brave.
W. Ii. Arnold, the genial and popular
night clerk at Hills Central, surprised hi;

love and romance. The above young lady

The gentleman who is now her welded
husband ranks among the young and
