SHOCKING DEATH OF A BOY
From the Effects of AlcOhOl-The Crossen'
Coon Case-Parkersburg Notes.
Special 10 the RegiSter.

Specld1 70 H1e htgtS4e''
PARKERsBURG, February l0.-The citi-
zens of Goose Creek, Ritchie county, are
shocked over a terrible calamity whic oc-
CURED in their midst on last Saturday.
On that day five boys, all about the age of
l6 or thereabouts, went to Pennsboro for
groceries. While there they got a jug OF
alcohol and got beastly drunk. They
started out for home with ap additional
supply of liquor, and while en- route for
their homes several OF them became so
drunk that they fell from their seats and
were allowed to lay in the bottom Of the
vehicle by their comrades, who were too
drunk to assist them TO their seats. When
they arrived at Mr. Archie Lowthers
farm, where one Of them, Mlut
Lowther, son ofArche Lowther, lived, they
tried to rouse him from what they imsg.
ined was drunken sleep but made the
horrible discovery that he was stone dead.
Another of the sons, Reinhardt. was also
in stupor. He, with his dead comrade,
was taken into the house and physicians
sent for. All hope OF resuscitating young
Lowther was vain, while, ReiBhardt himself
is not expected to live. The other boys
are all more or less dangerously i'll. The
officers are endeavoring to discover where
the boys got their liquor.
The shooting case of John Crossen By
Charles Coon will come up in the Circuit
Court to morrow. Croasen is the man
who was shot through the head some time
since by Coon, on Bull Creek. His re-
covery from the wound is considered al
most o miracle.
Jack Earnest, the tough, who struck one
of the Salvation soldiers some time ago,
and nearly destroyed tie use OF one ofthe
mans eyes on account OF the absence
OF the prosecuting witness, was allowed to
plead guilty to assault and battery, and
fined 81 and costs.
One hundred and sixty witnesses are
summoned before the United States Ju'y,
which conyenes here on next Tuesday.
A number OF sensational cases are
docketed for trial BY the Circuit Court this
term.
The vote on the . Il Ii subscription
comes Of here tomorrow. There is no
doubt OF Ms success.

IF he does not get more than twenty
votes sgaiust it | think the bill will tail to
pass the House. II he should only get
twenty.two votes against it from the Demo,

fused to him on the ground that before
the policy was cancelled the company
took the risk OF his death, and had earned
the premium, in part at least, and that "a
there was no obligation on its part TO ap'

not recover, To this defense 2 replied;
