LIt,Ie Frank SAWYER.

sonef Fred L Sawyer, e.nployed at Thomas
Briggs's confectionery. 379 Cong, ess street, Port
land, has been growing deaf since he was fohr,
teen months old. At that time he was taken wi h
what the doctors at first thought was measles.
but what turned out TO be scarlet rash. This left
him with a severe sore throat and discharge
from the ears more or less all the time. From
this the little fellow gradually grew deaf, until he
could scarcely hear anything without being yelled
at. This has continued for nearly five years.
Mr.. Sawyer did everything ln his power for his
boy, employing the best physicians and trying
everything he could hear of, but no use, the child
slowly but surely was fast becoming hopelessly
deaf. MIS-. Sawyer had been reading Of the MANY
cures constantly being made by Doctors Smith
and McMullen, the magnetic physicians at the
U. s. Hotel, and thought perhaps there might be
help for the boy. That was three weeks ago.
The child was taken under the treatment of
Doctors Smith and McMullen at once Today he
can hear any conversation. The discharge from
the ears has ceased and the boy is in every way

ANOTHER SAD AFFAIR.-On last
Sunday morning our quiet little town
was thrown into great excitement by
the discovery of Mr.. Middleton Duck
wall, one of Morgan cOunty's good and
old citizens, lying in the hall leading
to the Mercury office in dying con-
dition. Drs. Green and Slaymaker
were at once summoned and rendered
all the medical aid possible, but were
unable to save him and he died in a
few hours.
There is yet a good deal of specula-
ton as to how he came to his death,
but the general opinion is he fell from
the top of the steps leading to the
Mercury Office and owing to the late
ness Of the hour was not discovered.
There are others who believe he was
murdered and placed in the hall.
There are many runors in regard to
the sad affair, and the truth, as to how
it happened, we guess, will never be
known.
The Coroner summoned a jury who
rendered a verdict that Mr.. Duckwall
came to his death by an unknown
cause by wound in the left side of
his head.
Mr.. Duckwall was buried on We'd
nesday. He leaves a wife and several
grown children.
The Amendment Extending Ses-
sion of Legislature was defeated by
43l majority.
The total vote in the county for
President was 1416, the largest vote
ever polled.
The Amendment Relating to APP
peals from Justices was defeated by
43l majority.
VIM. L. Wilson received SAT votes
in the county.
Mason G. Pendleton received 5
votes in the county.
Fiske, Prohibition candidate for
President got 81 votes in the county,
while John A. Brooks, candidate for
Vice President, got 90 votes, Carska-
don, for Governor, received 10 votes,
and Frank Burt for Congress, got IA
votes, while the rest of the State tick
ell got 81 votes.

Berkeley County is Republican.
So is the State, though it may take
some little time to turn things over
with a decided majority. Senator
Faulkner is defeated in his own
county, but he is still U. S. Senator,
and will renew the fight with more
vigor than ever, because a party
that is out can best close its ranks.
The Republicans need not lay back
at their ease and think all is safe
and sure for years to come. The po-
litical blade of their antagonist is
made of Damascene steel, we'll tenn
pered by an Italian hand, and though
the edge is dulled, the blade is whole
and will cut deeper than ever in the
next com bat. There is no reason,
however, why the Republicans should
not hold solid front and keep
marching on to victory. All that is
necessary is fair treatment, com.
mon interest, and a faithful dis.
charge of public duty and party OBJ.

G0FF In THE CAMPAIGN.

OF Colts splendid campaign, that
distinguished leader of the best sort,
III. @. Parsons, wrote for the MAIL
AND EXPRESS fortnight since:
There is probably among the Re-
publicans of the South no leader so
well informed, and so we'll poised
and so persuasive and powerful in
debate. There is certainly none
with such personal following. There
has never been in this country a
State campaign more brilliantly con-
Quoted since that between Lincoln
and Douglas than is now, unnOtlced
by the nation, arousing the people
of West Virginia. Golf has driven
the opposing candidate from the
platform, has forced the State Com
mittee to admit that they have had
no speaker in the State or in the ma.
tion that they dare put against him,
and has stirred the State into ex.
element that has almost stopped
the course of business. A town Of
1,500 greets him with an audience
of 10000. Men ride to his appoint
ments forty miles on horseback.
They follow him from place to place
in cavalcades. The whole energy OF
the doomed party is called out to
compass his defeat.
Mr.. Parsons closed his vivid and
interesting letter with these historic
and prophetic paragraphs:

The supreme Court of Pennsyl
vania on Friday rendered a remark.
able decision relative to the trials OF
persons charged with murder. II
was decided that disagreement OF
the jury in murder trials is eauiva
lent to an acquital, and that the ac
cused person cannot be again ar
raigned for trial after one jury has
failed to agree. The ground for the
decision is the constitution, which
says that man cannot more than
once be put in jeopardy of life and
limb" The Supreme Court declares
that the constitution is very clear
on the point, and this fact makes it
remarkable that the point was never
raised before. Many men have been
tried for murder a second time. con.
vlcted and hanged, and it would be
interesting to know how many have
been hung unconstitntioDally in the
State. The decision will have the
effect of releasing several men who
are now awaiting trial after iuries in
their first trials had disagreed. Here.
after it viii be much more difficult
to convict a man of murder in that
State, since tho lawyers need only
work for disagreement in order to
save their clients.

THE COUNTY GROWING WITH THE
STATE.

One of the most hopeful results
shown by the election returns, is the
increase OF the vote. That means
increase in population, increase in
business, increase in wealth. 1t is
booming all over the State. New
railroads. new industries. mean more
capital, more employment, more di-
versified industry and manufacture.
After all these are the solid founda.
tions of a country's wealth and sta.
bility. From the political view the
Republican party is the greatest
sharer in the increased vote,
it means for the party a
healthy growth of young Republican.
ism, and a strong influx of desirable
settlers from the other states. West
Virginia has room to grow and is
growing in the right direction. Push
her on.
Berkeley county has also reason
to hope. Our home population is on
the increase, railroads are being ex
tended, and by keeping the car OF
progress moving Old Berkeley will
share in the blessings of a general
prosperity.
In 1884 Cleveland had 1910 votes
in Berkeley, Blaine 1910. In 1888
Cleveland had POLL, Harrison 21S3,
total vote in the county, 4194.
In 1886, Flick had 1897 votes in
the county; in 1888, he has 2197,
Maxwell for Governor in 1884 had
1871 against Wilson's 1916. In 1883,
Golf has 21S4 against Fleming's
2O31.
These figures are worth consider.
ing and acting upon. Berkeley is
growing and developing, and politics
to the winds we should all together
to the wheels of business and give a
united pull in the next four years
for the establishment of some enter.
prise or industry, to keep pace with
the growth in population and pros,
perity throughout West Virginia.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1888-11-17
WEST VIRGINIA CLOSE.

The vote in this State was so close
that the official returns are needed
to determine who are elected. Both
sides demanded recOunts in certain
districts, and several days were con-
sumed in making them. Then there
may be a contest over election irreg-
ularities, if sufficient evidence is
produced.
The State is Republican, there is
no doubt about that. The 1000 Third
Party votes cast. came mainly from
Republicans, and that itself would
place the Republican ticket out of
doubt. AS it is Prohibition is de-
feated by from 10000 to 40, 200 votes.
In the First District, Mr.. Atkin-
son, Republican, is elected in COTS
place by 81.
In the Fourth District, Smith,
Republican, is also elected beyond
any further doubt.
If Mr.. Flick's defeat is finally ac-
complished, it will be to the regret
of every Republican and many
Democrats, and a great loss to the
people. He made fight only next
to Golf in popularity, but had all the
power of government against him.
The vote given to Mr.. Burt in this
District, was but given to Mr.. Will
son, for nearly all who thus threw
their votes away were opposed to
free trade and to the Democratic
party.
Mr.. Flick has no greater regret
over his defeat than that the wishes
of the people in this district were
defeated. The new administration
will gladly give him the highest APP.
polntment he might deserve, but
that will not compensate for the loss
to the district of his vote and work
in Republican Congress. Still it is
satisfaction to know that all that
was possible was done for his election,
and in some counties he had an I'M.
usually large vote. He himself and
his friends, and Mr.. Farrin OF the
Congressional Committee, made a
heroic effort, and by right he should
be elected.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1888-11-17

1t is reported in Covington, Ken
lucky, that Speaker Carlisle is likely
to be deprived of his certificate of
election. The ground is the alleged
illegality Of the votes cast for him IN
Campbell and Kenton counties. If
these are thrown out his majority in
the district will be covercome. The
State Law, it is said, requires that the
ballot shall be cast of plain, white
paper, with no distinguishing fea-
lures, but the Carlisle ballots were
printed on large sheets of perforated
paper, so that when the tickets were
torn apart the perforations appeared
on the edges, and made then easily
dlstinguishable from other tickets.

way. The Legislature still believed

WHEELING, w. VA, November
1.-THE recount for governor to-day

counties resulted in a net gain of 81
for Golf. The Republican State
Committee claim his election to

According to the latest figures
Mr.. Flick is defeated.
Next week we expect to be able
to give the correct figures for the
district and state.

The only Republican whipped at
the election was the young man who
was cowhided at Elberton, Georgia,
because he voted for Harrison and
Protection.
The Prohibition vote in New York
in 1884 was 1899. In 1887 Hunt
ingdon, the candidate for Secretary
of State, received 1850 votes. This
year Fisk gets less than 10000.

tifnl and perfect representation of

In the election of 1892 Pennsyl.
vania will have to hustle if it wants
to continue to be the banner State
of the Republican party. There is
great Territory in the Northwest
known as Dakota which will be vot-
ing then as State, and it already
has Republican majority of 10000.

A very remarkable crime is that
reported from Alabama. w. A.
Shumake, the post master at Car.
bon Hill, became Respondent on ae-
count of the expected loss of his of.
flee. He commanded his wife to
kill him with knife that he handed
her. She refused, and he threatened
to kill her. Then she promised to
do.as she was bid, except in another
way. She took small pistol, shot
him dead, and then swooned over
his corpse. She has give herself up
to the authorities, and is now in Jail.
She is only seventeen years old.
The case presents some curious ques.
tions for moralists. Was she guilty
OF murderf Or was she an innocent
agent in the crime
