Fine RENTED.

Gov. Wilson has RENTED fine against
Daniel II. Cant, druggist, Fairview, Han
cock county. 1t appears that Cant is a
licensed druggist and that he made sale
of liquor on the apparent prescription of a
reputable physician, but upon a trial it
was proven to have been a forged pre-
scriptiOn, and Judge Jacob, who tried the
case, was of the opinion that nothing but
a genuine prescription was proper evidence
and found the petitioner guilty, but recon-
mended the remission of the fine, which
was RENTED.

Yesterday was a general holiday with
the workingmen of Wheeling and vicinity,

much to be desired, but I believe most OF
our wage workers will agree with me In
saying the matter can be overdone about
holiday time, as was the case in Pittsburg
during the past week. Up there some OF
the manufac urers' books were so overflow

want to call the attention of my friend
DR.. Garrison to new method of filtering
or purifying water on large scale, recent
" set forth in a paper by Mr. W. Ander-
son, and read before the Society of Arts.
| take the following from the Scientific
american:
THE process described IS one that has been
carried out with good results at Antwerp where
the water supply derived from al impure source
the River Nethe has been treated by the Blschol
sDOngv iron process in which the water Is INST
passed through ordinary filter sand, beneath
which is layer of coarse gravel ana granular
iron one part of the latter 10 three OF the Tor
mer. finally the water Is filtered through an or
dinarv sand bed. The condition OF the mlXeu
iron and gravel after continued use demonstrates
in avery striking manner the chemcai hction vi
the iron in removing from the water impurities
held in solution. After this system had been III
use al the Antwerp Water Works for four years,
an extension Of the supply became aDSoluteN
necessary: and as the acquisition OF new IaIu lor
filter beds would have been attended with very
heavy expenditure, II new system was trieu on
practical scale. Large iron cylinders are mount
ed horizontally on hollow trunnlons ntted WIN
mines by means of stuiling boxes and glands ana
a Slow rotating movement Is impaired To the Cyl
inders by means of spur gearing. one pipe serN-
ing as an inlet delivers the water into the cylin-
der against disc which acts as distributor
and the outlet pipe is fitted, also within the cyl
Under, with an inverted funnel, up when the
water passes 50 slowly as to allow OF the preclp-
tation of the iron particles. The inside of the
cylinders is furnished with curved interceptlng
and battling plates, and they are filled to one one,
tenth of their capacity with iron porlngs Inc
cylinders at Antwerp are feet i'll diameter ana
Is feet long They are driven at speed Of one
revolution minute, and are capable OF purify
ing 500 gallons of water minute. The diameter
of the inlet and outlet pipes Is III inches Inc
charge of iron borings Tor each cylinder is 80
tons. This system was commenced at Antwerp
in March, 1885, and has been in successful opera
ton ever since.

A glance at the activityin the iron trade
A number of Pittsburg mills that in 1885
ran three-fourths or two-thirds of their fur
naces on six heats, are now running them
night and day, and in numerous instances
have increased their facilities largely. At
least 100 pudding furnaces were idle last
Christmas, while about fifty were on single
turn. Now all are active, and twenty-one
new furnaces have been added. 1t is es-
timated that the orders on hand would
keep three hundred additional furnaces on
double turn. The increase is not alone in
puddled iron. In steel also the facilities
are 900 tons per day more than they were
q year ago. Improvements are still the
order of the day.

The breach, at Pittsburg, between the
roll hands and the Amalgamated Associa-
ton is exciting 4 good deal of attention
among mill men. The trouble seems TO
have originated in Soho mill, where, n year
or so ago, some of the labOrers struck for
better pay. An investigation showed that
the firm in question were paying higher
wages than others. This was explained,
and the parties informed that nothing
could be done for them in the matter of an
advance at which some of them withdrew
from the Association and joined the Knights
of Labor Since then the movement has
spread What is wanted now is for the
deserters to come back into the Amalga-
mated. In the last issue of the Labor
Herald Secretary Martin said:
"Ifthe commissioned organizers Of the X. Of l.
had carried out the instructions of MI POwderly,
there are a number of rolling mill men X. of J..
that would never have been received into that
organization. While the executive Of the knights
is opposed TO and has instructed his organizers
not To admit tn membership any one who has

who come under that category have been adj

"Who killed cock ROBIN z" is a question

clanor therefor.
Now comes the hoary Gen. Cassius NJ
CLAY, OF Kentucky, in letter to tue New
ork Sun, and modestly for him) ac-
kuowledges that he first suggested to Gen.
scott, the outline plans tor the campaigns
which, after all others had failed, re-
suited IN the destruction Of the Confeder-
ate states. These suggestions were made
IN 1861, be says-'Iust as soon as | could
get Gen. Scott apart from his staff Of rebel
sympathizers," but the gallant old Ken
tuckian is tree to concede to Miss Anna
Ella Carroll, the distinction that has long
been claimed for her, Of having forced
upon Halleck, Grant and other Federal
commanders the cutting in TWAIN of the
Confederacy by advances along the great
waterways. He handles Congress and
the Republican party without gloves for
having suppressed the praise and nouors
due Miss Carroll in order to force great
ness on Grant, whose incompetency, he
thinks, was 50 thoroughly demonstrated
at Shiloh.
Gen. Clay indorses the claim Of Miss
Carroll as presented by herself in the
Aprll number o. the North american
ReCietc. and he says that "Out OF all the
millions which have been snowered upon
time-seryers and bounty jumpers, and
stolid 'bullet-heads,' Congres Democrats
AID Republicans should speak now, while
Miss Carroll yet lives. A word of recog-
milton, which Will be, at all events, award
ed her by posterity." He calls tor this
more especially, that ''since Grants death
there is no longer necessity to bolster
up his reputation for political or partisan
purposes"
1t may well be doubted whether the
truth OF history will be fully established
about many events of the late war during
the present generations but TO us OF the
south there IS a grim humor n the charge
that one OF the most lauded heroes Of the
victorious side in the late war should. be-
fore the monuments TO his memory are
erected, be charged with having masquer-
AIDED in the laurels that belonged to
woman.
IT does seem that republics are I'm
grateful, for although it is asserted that
President Lincoln and his Cabinet. and
many other leading men acknowledged
that Miss CAROLS plans saved tn Union
she has never yet been re warded even
with leather medal. Let justice be
done, no matter what military regulations

SHE FOUND HER MATCH.
An ExactiDg Mother who Wanted an
Unheard-Of Baby Coach.

From the PhHdde2D6id HsiGs
She was a sour-faced. thin voiced woman,
with an exasperating manner about her that
