THE Democratic meeting at Wheeling
on Tuesday was. a sore disappointment to
the unterrifed of that section. Thur
man was there, but the immense thrOng
did not materialiZe. The meeting was a
creditable one in size, but it didn't fill the
earth by large majority. BY actnal
count, there was less than 5000 persons
i'll the day procession, not half as many
as were in Republican parade there
a few weeks ago. a fair average of the fall
ing off from expectations is shown in the
fact that 800 people were promised from
here, when but 1877 tickets were sold du-
ring the day by the agent at the North
ern, and few additional tickets were
sold in the evening. 1t does look as
though the Republicans would carry
West Virginia.

Election Tuesday, Nov. 9th.

THE mails are being shamefully viola
ted by the agents of President Cleveland.
Three letters addressed TO J. B. Longley,
Secretary of the County Republican Com
mittee, have been broken open, and a
fourth. addressed to gentleman in Mar
tins Ferry, is in the hands OF J. F.
Charlesworth, of the Democratic Com
mittee, and the presumption is was stolen
from the mails. Ahimportant letter from
julius Armstrong, mailed at Armstrong;
Mills, October 10, stamped ''Bellaire, o.,
Oct. 10, P. NJ, 1888, Reed" was deliver
at st. Clairsyille October 26, at 7:3O P. NJ,
sixteen days afterward.
Mr.. Cleveland'S agents are apparently
acting upon the theory that it is their
privilege to inspect whatever is passing
through the mails, like they did in Var
ginny, sab" before the war.
1t is clear that nothing of Importance
should be put into the mails.

CHARLES NEITZEL, formerly resident
of this town, who has been employed as
brakeman recently on the Cleveland, LO-
rain and Wheeling railway, met with a
distressing accident on Monday. He was
taking a few days off duty, and on the
day named was out hunting, two or three
miles south of this place. In climbing
fence, he put the butt of his gun on the
ground, and rested his right hand on the
muzzle, when in some way the hammer
was raised and one of the barrels was
discharged, the load passing through the
palm of his hand, and shattered it so
badly as to render amputatiOn necessary,
at the wrist. The accident is an unfor
tunate one, as it disables in measure,
an industrious young man, and renders
him less able to maintain his family-a
wife and two children. After the acci
dent he was removed to the home of his
parents, near Glencoe.

THOMAS G. Young, well known resi-

the government dam in the back river,
just below Bridgeport, about IL o'clock
Sunday morning. That morning some
Wheeling parties went in skiff to the
vicinity of the dam to fish. They were
Joined by Young, and not having any
luck, the party rOwed up to the mouth of
the creek at Bridgeport. Here they Jared
no better, and determined to go down to
the lower point of the Island to try their
luck. The party consisting of four per-
sons, started down stream, and when they
reached the dam were about midway of
it. A powerful current was encountered
at the dam and the boat went rushing
over and down about four feet to the
level of the water below, capsizing and
spilling out its occupants. Two of the
men-Lemon and Wilkins, and a boy
named Pemberton, clung to the boat and
were rescued by Andrew Moore and Allie
Wilde, who came to their help in a Skiff.
Young undertook to swim to the shore
and when within twenty feet of it he be-
came exhausted and sank out of sight.
His body was recovered in the afternoon
and removed to his home. Deceased
leaves wife and two children.

Strength of White Ant Earth.

When fragment of earth has been
cut away by one of these soft little in
sects, it is SO mixed and worked up with
a glutinous saliva, which it elects, that
it becomes like an exceedingly tenacious
mortar, and, when dry, turns into SUBJ
stance as compact and strong as stone
itself. Out of this substance the whole
of that portion Of the dwelling that lies
above the ground is built up bit by bit,
each bit being hardly larger than mus
tard seed. There are often many tons of
this stone like stuff in single ant hill;
and it is not only SO strong as to resist
the terrible fury Of tropical storms, but it
will support without disaster the weight
Of wild bulls, who have trick of climb
ing upon the ant heaps, when partially
finished, as desirable points from which
to survey the surrounding country. In
fact. the white ant earth has been quar-
ried and used by the missionaries in some
places on Lakes Nyassa and Tanganyika
as material for building their houses; and
in South Africa the natives pave their
floors with it and use it to build their
ovens.-Swiss Cross.

Grabbing has become very popular
sport in the Jersey meadows. The brack-
ish streams tributary to the Hackensack
abound with crabs. and every day parties
of crabbers, with high rubber boots, piod
through the marshes, nets in hand, in
search of the crustacea Catches of three
or four dozen are not uncommon. On
Sundays the crabbers turn out in greater
force than the gunners. Flat bottomed
boats are largely used. being slowly
pOled up and down the creeks. and la
dies share quite freely in the sport. The
crabs are much larger than those ordi-
narily caught on the coast They are
said to be increasing in size as the sea-
son advances, and may one day rival the
great crabs of England and California. =

A reporter tried his hand at faith cur
ing the other day. He was standing on
the front platform Of an avenue car
when the drivers nose began to bleed.
After several Intellectual attempts had
been made to stop the bleeding the re-
porter, who feared the driver would be
seriously Inconvenience. to say the
least, thought he would try an expert
ment. Taking a piece of paper from his
pocket he handed it to the sufferer, with
the remark; 'Put that in your mouth,
between the tongue and the inside of the
lower gum. It's the greatest remedy
ever known for nose bleeding. We
used it in our family for seven genera
tions, and it never failed to cure" The
driver did as he was bid, and inside of a
minnie the bleeding stopped. What eff
fected the cure? Was it the efficacy of
the paper or the faith the driver had in
its remedial powersa-W Washington Post.
