OUR CONTRIBUTION.
OHIO CoUKTY'S SHARE OF THE STATE IL
eENSE TAN
Wheeling Pays As Much As ALI tie Rest Of the State
Over $4,000 To Be Forwarded
To Charleston

Assessor Robert Phillips, and theSheritf's
deputies have made up the footings of the
State license tax collected in Ohio county
for the first six months Of the present
fiscal year, and the result is total OF
over twenty-five thousand dollars. The
exact figures are SIS, 0s5,0S, as
compared with s21, 6O6,s4, last year.
The increase of nearly four thousand dol
lars is mainly caused by the increase in
the State liquor license from 500 to
$50. which was put in operation this
wear for the first time. The sum collected
from Ohio county is said by those CONVEX
SAINT with the situation to be nearly or
unite one-half of what the entire State
will be called upon to pay, as there are
hut about twelve license counties In
West Virginia, and Of the total number
Ohio is by far the most important IN TINS
regard. The sum collected from our people
would have been considerably larger, had
not three prominent wholesale liqour men,
having $40 license each, gone out OF busi-
ness during the early part of the year.
As we have said, the total given above Is
for the past six months, but it by no
means follows that a further sum OF
twenty-five thousand dollars, or anything
like ii. will be sent in for the remainder OF
the fiscal year. On the contrary, the sum
to be hereafter certified to the State au-
thorities will be less than one thousand
dollars. and probably not over five hum
dred, as about everybody liable to the tax
has been assessed.
The money will be forwarded to Charles
ton about the 10th of December.

GUILTY.
THE JURY IN THE JOHNSON CASE HAND IN
A VERDICT
The Prisoner Found Guilty Of Murder in the Second
Dsgree-A Notion 10 Set the Yer
dict Aside

When the Marshall county Circuit
Court convened yesterday morning, Judge
Boyd at once proceeded to deliver his IN
structions to the jury in the johnson
murder trial. Nearly an hour was con-
sumed in this business, the jury retiring
to their room about ten o'clock. Thede
was large crowd in the court room dur
ing the morning and the interest in what
was going on was great. 1t was the gen.
eral opinion of those who had followed the
trial from the beginning that verdict OF
murder in the second degree would be re-
turned and such proved TO be the case. At
ter being out five hours and a quarter,
during which time the court house was
temporarily deserted by large portion OF
the audience, the jury returned to
the court room, when, after the
usual formalities had been gone through
with, verdict of guilty of murder in the
second degree was rendered. The pris-
oner, during the interval from the appear
ance of the jury to the adjournment Of
Court, labored under the most intense ex-
element and seemed to be almost uneon-
scious of what was going on about him.
After the verdict had been announced,
Captain b. B. Dovener, Of counsel for the
prisoner, made motion to set aside the
verdict, for reasons which he promised to
present to the Court this morning.
The penalty for murder in the second
degree is confinement in the penitentiary
for five to twenty years, at the discretion
of the presiding Judge.

A Large Audience and a Very Fine Per-
formance.


A Large Audience and Very Fine Per-
formance.
Notwithstanding the miserable weather
of last night the Opera House was packed
from pit to gallery with an appreciative
and enthusiastic audience, which had as
sembled to witness the performance Of
"Monte Cristo," by Mr.. james, O'Neill's
company. This is not the first time Mr..
O'Neill has visited this city and the au-
iience last night was glowing testimo-
NAL to the reputation which he hascreated
for himself. He appears at his best in the
impersonation of the hero of Dumas great
work and enters fully into the spirit
of the author Either as "Daotes, "
'sBusoni" or monte Cristo, he never for
an instant loses his idea of the individual;
with a manner dignified yet Teplete with
force and expression he interprets the
character in a mastery manner. He Is
ably supported by well selected COM
pany, each member Of which is good. Mr..
Arthur LeClercq as ''Danglars" was a
little too violent in the first act, but
came out strongly in the latter part OF the
play. The curtain was called up at the
end of each act but the first, and after the
fourth act Mr.. O'Neill, Miss Grace Thorn
and Messrs. Shannon, Kent and Gould
were called before the curtain. The COM
pany carries its own scenery with it, and
some of the stage effects were excellent.
Miss Grace Raven, who personated Mile.
Danglars, is young lady of talent and
unsurpassed beauty, and was very exten-
sively admired, last evening.
All were well pleased with the perform
ance. and should Mr.. 0'Neill ever repeat
the play here we predict even more en-
thusiastic reception than he had last night.

No Pardon For Convict Fish.

New York, Nov.-United States Dis
trict Attorney Walker has reported Id
versely upon the petition Of James ID. Fish
for pardon. The petition was sent him
from Washington several weeks ago. Mr.
Walker takes the ground that Fish utterly
failed on the trial to discredit the charges
against him, though given every opportu
nifty; that if guilty then he is guilty now.
and that i'll health is no more reason fo
pardon in his case than in the cases of al
other sick conyicts. Mr.. Walker says the
effort to secure pardon would not have
been made but for Fsh's social promi
neDce.

A Sufferer From Thieves.

Those who are familiar with the facts
were not surprised at noticing, in yester-
days papers, that Mr.. Martin Thornton
had sworn out warrant for the arrest Of
n former employee on the charge ofstealing
an overcoat. Mr.. Thornton has suffered
for some time from Ito excursions Of
thieves upon his property, the over
coat case being the fourth time his
premises have been raided. Not long
ago two thieves boldly drove an express
wagon up TO the rear Of his restaurant,
loaded up n cooking stove and drove of
with il, and on another occasion a wagon
load Of goods and provisions were taken
from his premises by burglars hold.
Martin has grown tired Of this sort Of thing
and the Overcoat thief is a warning TO all
crooks that he refuses to be further victim
