Sad Death.-The cheering but naturally

Sad Death.-The cheering but naturally
slow improvement of Mr.. Augustus Ward,
who recently had both legs broken by a
tree that he had ielled kicking back from
the stump, and later one of them amputated,
was watched by the entire sympathetic com
munity, and all were startled to hear of his
death on Sunday evening last, which was
caused by exhaustion. Sunday morning he
remarked to his family that he let bet
ter then than any time since he met with
the accident, ate hearty breakfast OF oysters
and fondled with his baby and only child
in his bed. From this evidence OF his re-
covery his family was much encouraged.
When evening came ON he tainted, and as
quick as he recovered he swooned again,
until at the tenth time life ceased. Mr..
Ward leaves widow and babe, having
been married about fifteen months. He
married Miss Clara, daughter ol Mr. Bernard
Monday, and was aged 81 years. The entire
community deeply regret his loss and the
bereaved widow has its sympathy.

Not Tascott, Though Supposed to

|
Be.-Several weeks ago a wealthy old gen.
tleman by the name Of Smell was murdered
in his palatial residence in Chicago, and one
Tascott has been suspected as the murderer
and is the son Of prominent man of the
same city, dissipated, of fine address and
clever intelligence and literary tact. A re-
ward of $4,000 for his apprehension and a
description ofhis person have been circulated
by the Chicago authorities in every town
and village throughout the United States.
| One of the circulars was received by our
town bailiff M. Green, few days ago.
Last Tuesday morning stranger alighted
from the train at the depot here, registered
at the Corc0ran hotel as w. A. Buttolph,
and canvassed the town to sell books. He
was spotted as Tascott and his daily move
ments watched. In the evening he pur-
chased ticket at the depot for Frederick
city. Here Bailiff Green arrested him. He
was taken before Squire Morgan and crit
cal examination made of his entire person
by the officers and several doctors.
The news of Tascott's arrest spread over
the town and all of its male citizens were
curious to get look at him. The number
of citizens was large and yet swoolen larger
by number of county people in attendance
upon Court stopping over night
AS to whether Buttolph was Tascott pub
lie opinion was divided. Some could see
resemblance in his face, eyes, and the gold
filling of his teeth. Others could see no re-
sembance. The doctors were divided in
opinion as to the scars under his clothing.
Buttolph persisted that he was not Tas-
colt, and that if he was given chance he
would prove his identity to the satisfaction
of the authorities. He claimed to be rep.
resentative of book publishing firm of
Atlanta, Ga, and a native of Ohio, where
his mother is now living. His answer to
the question why he did not telegraph to
Atlanta for Identification was evasive and
created strong suspicion.
Buttolph also claimed to be known by
Capt Marsh, government employe at
Washington. He employed a young man
here to go to Washington to bring the Cap
tain out 10 identity him. The Captain ar
rived here on the 10 o'clock train at night
and identified Buttolph in the Montgomery
hotel. where he was kept in room under
guard. Capt. Marsh identified him as an &C
quaintance OF a long period and next door
neighbor in a village in Ohio, and as an
honorable and worthy young man. Capt
Marsh was identified by Mr. w. A. Allen,
of this town.
Buttolph was released and recovered his
nerve from the shock.
The 10000 vanished, and the matter be-
came the sport of the town.

End of Canal LegisIatiOn.-In the
House on Tuesday the first order of the day
was the third reading of the House bill to
authorize the attorney general to institute
proceedings for the sale of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal. DR.. Wootton, chairman of
said: "Your committee to whom have been
referred all questions touching the Chesa
peake and Ohio Canal Company have been
confronted in considering its present de-
plcrable financial condition and suggesting
remedial measures with, first the provision Of
our constitution forbdding any State aid to
works of internal Improvements except in
certain specified counties; second, with that
wise provision in our constitution requiring
any sale Of the States interests shall be rati-
fed by the ensuing General Assembly be-
fore such sale shall be final-wise because
its plain intent and meaning is TO allow the
people of the whole State to have an oppor-
tunity to vote upon its ratification after the
terms of the: sale are made known TO them
third, by the rights of creditors to whom
the State has waived her prior claim and
given liens of different character. The
facts show that the sum of $622, 500 has been
sunk by the States management of this work
during the last ten years, and if under its
present management the expenses cannot be
met, the bill simply provides for a decent
burial of the dead body"
The bill was lost-35 in the affirmative, 40
in the negative.

the distance between the two cities is
only i5s miles measuring from Union
