public in general, are cordially in
vited to attend Wheeling InteM-

beaver. A dozen other customers were
near when the halter opened the orlgnt
leather box. At sight of Its contents he
grated his teeth, and kicked the box out
on Broadway, much to Depew's astonlsp-
ment. He ran stammering gamut OF
curses on SweetZer, and threatened 10
pull his nose when he met him.
Two days afterwards the halter entered
the franklin street chOp-house. The
merchant was there dissecting a bird.
Mealio walked up TO him and said:
"f-v-you're an inf-t-fernal scoundrel,
sir!"
Sweetzer gazed at him in genuine as

The chances were quickly taken, but

DEAD IN A POND.
A Sad Case of Suicide Near Pine
Log.

From, the CdvtersUille tGd.) American.
On last Thursday morning, Mr.. j. W.
Smith, who lived near Pine Log in this
county, left his home, and in company
with his wife and Mr.. Joe Goode started
to town to attend the trial of case which
be and his wife had brought against Mr..
Stevens, in the City Court. To accommo.
date the parties and the great number OF
witnesses who had been summoned, both
for the plaintiffs and defendant, Judge
Neel had fixed the time OF the trial by
special order at 10 O'Clock.
When Mr.. Smith arrived at the edge OF
town he jumped from the wagon IN
which he was riding and ran back up the
road, and when caught he could not be
persuaded to get back in the wagon and
come ON to the trial as he had started,
but he protested that he had no friends in
town and wanted to go home.
He escaped from Mr.. Goode and ran
towards home. This was the last MIR.
Goode saw OF him. MIR. Ed. Adcock ard
two or three other witnesses whom Mr..
Smith had had subpenaed to attend his
trial met him several miles up the road
towards Pine Log, and they
asked him where he was going.
He replied that he was going
back to his children. And on being
pressed as 10 WH6Te MS cDltuF6u were, uo
did not know. He didn't know whether
he had left them at home or not. Mr..
Smith being a man naturally OF a very
weak mind, and In fact an embecile, this did
not particularly attract Mr.. Adcock's at
tention, who WAS acquainted with him.
Mr.. Adoock came on to town, and Mr..
Smith continued his course toward Pine
Log. When Mrs. Smith returned 10 her
home Thursday evening she found that
Mr.. Smith had not arrived. A search was
instituted for HIM and kept up Thursday
night and all day Friday and Friday
night, and early Saturday morning his
coat was found hanging on bush near
the mill pond on Little Pine Log creek,
and upon 1t were traces OF blood. Close
investigation disclosed that some one had
proceeded from where the coat was hang
ing on the bush In the direction of the
pond. At the place where the tracks
came to the pond it appeared as though
| some one had gone in. The pond was
dragged, and Mr.. Smith was found on the
bottom with his throat cut, the windpipe
being partially severed, and handker-
chief bound tightly around his neck,
his knife in his pocket with blood
! on it, and his hands clasped at the back
of his head. As before stated, MIR. Smith
was very weak minded, inoffensive man,
against whom no one entertained malice.
but with whom everyone sympathiZed.
No explanation could be given to the sad
| occurrence but that OF suicide.
