VANDALISM.

The Methodist Church at Tlltonyille Parti'
ally Wrecked BY Hoodlums.
Sometime during Sunday night a party
of young men forced an entrance into the
Methodist Church at Ttltoiville, a short
dist lnce above Martins Ferry, on the other
side OF the river, and held a regular
caroussl in the edilice which is supposed
to be sacred to the worship Of God. The
entrance was affected through an open
window, and the party was evidently &C.
companied by one or more kegs Of beer
Once inside the church, and the beer in
side them, the party committed every
depreciation of which drunken men
are capable. The handsome lamps
we're ruthlessly smashed and thrown
ont of the windows, the glass
pitcher upon the pulpit shared the same
fate, the paws were tom loose from TIT
floor and stood on end about the room,
and the interior OF the builiing generally
wrecked, nscessititipg qQite q large out

Cass-Vandalism at Tilbnvlle.

There were two additional arrests yes
terday for illegal voting. The defendants
we're Joseph Porter aud his son James,

nently, but on examination it was proved
conclusively that he had only let the
county and State in search Of work, and
not with the intention of remaining per.
manently. The case wss dismissed.
The allegation against James Porter wa
that he was not OF legal age, and it was
brought out in evidence that be was born
January Is. 1869. His case was con,
tiuued.
William Myers, who was arrested sew
eral days ago, charged with casting sn
illegal vote at Board Tres, Marshall coun'
ty, was examined during the afternoon.
His contract with the B. & o. rsil:oad
company, signed by the defendant himself,
was produced by the Government, and in
it his age was given at 10. John Reid, a
witness, said he did not think the hoy was
of age. Ga election day he saw the Re.
publicans were determined to vote him,
and advised him not TO vote. Mrs, Whit
lash thought the boy wa about Of age,
and said his mother would be in to-day
with a transcript of the record in Justice
Stiles drct ct, which would make Myers
age over 81 The CAGE was c,ntinued until
to-day.
