PARKERsBURG, W. Va, May. l2.-Miss
Mary Archer, young lady who resides on
Laurel Fork of Worthington, several miles
from this city, filed papers to day through
her Attorney, Hon. C. T. Caldwell, in q suit
for $4,000 damages against Jonathan
Richardson, young farmer of that neigh
borhood. Miss Archer alleges that Rich.
ardson has slandered her and damaged her
character to that extent. She says he told
sundry parties that she was unchaste,
and that che wrote q number OF letters
to him which were obscene and vile. Rich.
ardson had her arrested some time ago
and taken before U. s. Commissioner
Tsvemsn on charge Of having sent OBJ
scene matter through the mails.
Samuel Richardson, father Of Jonathan,
is also sued by Miss Archer in like cum
for damages. In this suit Miss Archer
complains that Samuel Richardson not
only slsndered her, but that he maliciously
prosecuted her aud arrested her.
These cases attracted considerable at
tention at the time Of their examination,
on account of the rscy nature ofthe letters,
the threats contained in them to burn the
school house in the reighborhood, if Miss
Mann, the young lady teacher, was not
compelled to stop teaching school. Later
on the school house was burned and an
endesvor made to indict Miss Archer for
the offense, but failed. All parties con-
rected with these suits are well known
throughout the county, and the trials will
no doubt prove highly sensational and racy
in character.

WEILSBURG FINANCES.
Tho Finance Committees Action In
Council.

WELLsBURG, May l2.-There is consid'
erable interesting discussion going on in
our town growing out of the proceedings Of
the Town Council, or rather the action Of
the Finance Committee. At the meeting
OF Council on last Wednesday evening, the
settlement OF the ex-Sergeant in account
with the town for taxes and revenues col.
lected and expended, was submitted, and
On motion, referred to the present Finance
Committee for inspection. On Mon.
day evening the Finance commit
tee met and upon inspection found
that the Sergeant had taken credit for 10
per centum as commissions for collecting
licenses, taxes and other revenues. The
committee then called upon the City Solic-
itor for an opinion as to the Justice Of the
allowance, who reported in effect that the
city charter dces not provide the measure
OF compensation in such cases, but that
the general Law granted to the council Of
towns and villages the right to fix the COM
pensation, provided that limit OF five per
centum be not exceeded. That the Town
Council could not exceed it's granted powers
and could exercise no power not granted
By its charter or the general law. This
seemed to create sensation in the com
mittee, and several hours were spent in dis.
cussing the subject. The ex-Mayor and
f. A. Sheets o member Of the former
Council, and another member Of the pres
snt Council, expressed themselves with
considerable vehemence in regard TO the
Injustice Of not allowing the ten per
cent, because former Councils had allowed
that compensation. One of the above per
sous said that the question vRS sprung By
an enemy OF thu retiring Sergeant.
A motion was made to grant the extra B
per cent as special compensation, but
the chairman did not put the question.
Others suggested that other attorneys be
consulted oa the matter, but the soI hiittee
adjourned without arriving at any conclu,
sioa until Tuesday evening, when they
again met, and after consultation in low
tones, q motion was carried ad9sting the
report and ordering j: TO ne printed in two
pspe5s, and that the Sergeant pay over tho
cas- in his hands and give hiV personal
note Tor the amount Of taxes
vet in his hands and uneolleoted, thereby
dischargipg his snrety. The committee
did not seem to think it only had the
power TO recommend TO Council and not 10
pass upon the after as COUNCIL. The
action OF the CoGaa;,, ID regular session,
will aoastiyss be interesting when the
action Of the committee comes up for CD
proVsl.
