CAMPBELL HELD.
The Testimony Before Mayor Brown o
BeIIaire-A Curious Story.

The Testimony Before Mayor Brown' Oh
BeIIaire-A Curious Story.
The trial of Henry Campbell, on the
charge of arson and murder, commenced
before Mayor Brown, of Bellaire, in the
City Hall, yesterday afternoon. The testi-
mony of Joseph Ramage, brother OF the
victim. and Albert Fowler, a coal miner,
was about the anne as was printed III the
REGISTER on Monday. 1t was evident
from the first that the defense would make
n great effort to acquit the prisoner on the
ground that the store was set on fire by
carelessness. The miners at the Union
coal works had a couple Of small
kegs of beer on tap on Satur-
day night, and although Fowler, n ofthe
principal witnesses for the prosecution,
said he did not think any of the party Of
drinkers were drunk, it is said that the
Mace where the beer was drank was the
scene of a hilarious revel,
The prisoner did not deny that he was
seen ont near the store about midnight,
Saturday night, but it appears from the
testimony that most of the inhabitants of
the place were also out at that time.
The testimony of Joseph Ramage correctS
the statement printed in some papers that
Campbell was part owner in the store. The
whole establishment was purchased and
paid for by Joe Ramage. From this it will
appear that Mr.. Campbell did not act so
strange as it was thought by not rushing
out to the fire.
The last witness examined was a coal
miner named Dawson, and his testimony
was of rather a curious nature. He stated,
and his story was cOrroborated by his vile
and family, that he came up from the
river Saturday evening and said that
something was going to happen" before
morning. lie laid down to sleep with his
clothes on, and so impressed were the fam
lily with his manner that on retiring the
ladies put their clothes where they could
find them in a moment should they be
aroused from sleep. 1t seems that Daw-
son has quite a local reputation
as a prophet in the ~neighbor-
hood, and his prediction of trouble
last Saturday night has added to his fame.
About ten minutes before the explosion
came he got up and went out of his house,
but returned in a moment or two and had
hardly laid down when the powder was
fired. The women in the house said that
about the time Dawson went out they
heard voices which came from the direc-
ton of C%ampbell's. This testimony SEEM
ed so strange as to excite suspicion in the
minds of some, and Messrs. ElsOn and
Tallman, counsel for the defense, made a
long argument, based On it, in which they
urged the discharge of Campbell and the
arrest of Dawson. Hon. Lorenzo Danford,
who appeared for the State, took the other
view of the matter, and ut the end of the
discussion, Mayor Brown held Campbell i'll
500 for his appearance at Court.
The general impression in Bellaire, dur
ing the day, was that Campbell would not
bc held.

The Tower Has Moved.

The City Hall town clock came to an
other stop yesterday, and an examination
by Mayor Grubb resulted iii the discovery
that the tower was gradually sinking, lean
ing toward the north as it settled. This
was c~onclusively proven by the clock pen
dulum. This has Il swing of eighteen OF
twenty feet, and when first put up had a
play of about four inches from a jOist on
the north side. Lately it has gradually
been nearing this joist, until it rubbed it
so hard yesterday as TO stop the clock.
This would seem to call for the attention
of the Council Committee on Real Estate.
