Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1886-09-11

Hon. JOSEPH VAN METER, of Hardy
county, made the REGISTER n pleasant call
yesterday. He has been attending the
State Fair, which is OF especial interest to
him as a dealer in fine breeds of cattle.
He will sell fine herd of short horns, COM
prising fifty head, at the fair at Winches-
ter. Va, in October. Mr.. VAN METER has
done much toward the introduction of fine
stock among the West Virginia farmers.
IT is pretty conclusiyely proven that the
story of Mr.. SEDGwICH' 5 eScapade in Mex
leo is little more than IN unmitigated lie
of the first water. Mr.. SEDGwICK and
every one who knows anything about his
conduct in Mexico, fully cOrrObOrate this.
The Mexican gentlemen who rendered him
the reception and tine Mexican Consul eX-
onorate Mr.. SEDGwICE and resent the in
suit that has been offered both themselves
and their visitor.

ERNEST SCHILLINu, the coachmau hus-
band of VICTORIA MOROsINI is not the
true-hearted long-sutlering heroic char
acter that he mt first claimed himself to be.
He seemed at first very much aggrieved
because his wife had fOrsaken him. But
it now appears that he valued his wife
affections ut much less than $4,000. The
old man MOROSINI sent him q check for
that amount and he seemed happier than
if he had ten wives all rs handsome aS
hours. He straightway gave up his posi-
ton rs driver, got new suit of clothes
and started on u vacation. This wedding
and its sequel furnishes truth more won
derful than fiction. The rOmancist here
need but follow the career OF these indi-
viduals to have story rs entertaining rs
any products of tie imagination.

THE STATE FAIR.

To-day closes the most successful State
Fair ever held in Wheeling. The list Of
entries has been greater, the displays finer
and the attendance greater than ever be
fore
While West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania have been the chief patrons of the
Fair, there have been many exhibitors
and visitors from States beyond.
And we are certain the Fair has been q
profit both to visitors and exhibitors. The
farming class, which comprise very great
majority of the people of this region, were
chiefly interested in those exhibits that
pertained to their vocation. Here they
saw on exhibition all the choicest varieties
of cattle from the largest short horn to the
smallest Jersey. They compared the
merits of different breeds of swine
and sheep and saw tested
the speed, strength and other merits of
race and draught horses. The poultry
raiser and admirer was there in all his
glory, and was allowed to judge of fowl of
varieties in size and color of plumage too
tedious to mention. The same can be said
of farm products, such as apples, potatoes
corn, wheat, peaches, grapes, pears, etc.
Now, among all these things the farm
ing class kept their eyes open. Many pur-
chaSeS, sales and exchanges were made, and
the people will 90 back to their homes i'm
bued with new and advanced ideas about
farming and stock raising, many of which
will be put into practice and will work q
great improvement in this section of
country.
Also there was a good display Of i'm
proved agricultural and other machinery.
The people will not he slow to avail them
selves of it, cultivating their farms, har-
vesting their crops etc.

1t will be observed from these figures
that General GOFF's large majority over
the lamented GOOD was not attributable
to an unusually large vote polled by him;
but TO the fact that Mr.. GOOD ran behind
his party.
GoFF's vote over HUTCHINsONs' two
years previous was only 364, whilst GOODS
dropped below WILSON'S J, 233.
Wilson's vote in the ten counties in
1850 over HUTCHINSON was 429 and over
GoFF's two years later was %. To have
given WILSON BRAXTON's usual majority
in 1880. he would hove OutpOlled HUTCH

Special Correspondence q Ue RtylAtT'
WASHINGTON, d. c., September lO.-The
following table shows the number of pen
sioners in each county of the State of West
Virginia and the amount of money re-
ceived by them monthly. This statement
is made from the records of the Pension
Bureau prior to July l, 1856. Since then
a large number of pensioners have been
added TO the rolls. Wood county has the
greatest number of pensioners and receives
more money each month than any other
county in the State. There are ten more
counties which have more pensioners than
Ohio county. Wyoming county. has but
five pensioners, but receives $40 more per
month than Summers county, which has
nine and gets S5S per month:
