Hon JAMES Morrow, JR., DEAD.
"A dispatch from Falrmont in the
Sunday papers, announce the death
of Judge James Morrow, Jr., at his
home in that place, Saturday even
ing at about $50 o'clock. A brief
sketch of his career says that his
aiIment was general paralysis, with
which he was stricken down the
latter part oflast August. Although
the rapid development of the dis
ease soon compelled the abandon
ment of all hope of recovery. the
announcement of his demise was
nevertheless a great shock, and has
created the profoundest sorrow
He was about 55 years old, and was
born in Hancock county, Virginia,
now West Virginia, where large
number of his relations still reside.
He began the practice of law at an
early age in his native county, and
soon removed to Illinois, where he
resided for some years, continuing
the practice of his profession.
In 1866 he came back to West
Virginia and located at Fairmont,
where he was admitted to practice
in the courts, October Sd, 1886. He
continued to reside at Fairmont ev-
er since that time, and at all times
had a large and remunerative prac-
tiee, and has filed many important
positions in Marion county and this
State. I'm 1871 he conducted the
Li6erdlist newspaper at Fairmont,
and proved successful and forcfble
journalist His remains were taken
to Washington, D. c., for interment..
By his demise the State has lost one
of its best and abIest citizens and
the sad occurrence is universally
mourned.

A GAIN OF EIGHT.-The recount
demanded by Judge Jackson in this
county, was completed Saturday,
and the result shows a gain of eight
votes for Capt. G. B. Smith, Repub-
lican, which makes his majority
All instead of 1853, as first reported.
This elects Capt. Smith to Congress
from the Fourth District by about
10 majority. While we regret the
defeat of Judge Jackson, we cannot
do less than to congratulate Capt.
Smith upon his election. The race be-
tween these two gentlemen was man
ly and their canvass clean. Judge
Jackson made brilliant and deter
mined fight, but had an exceeding
Iy popular man pitted against him,
besides having to contend against
OBJECTIONS in his own party Capt.
Smith, barring his politics, will be
a useful member of Congress, and
we believe will look we'll after the
interests of the Fourth District.

Mr.. VIM. c. Bolts, Of Newport. KY.
met at the Chancel Miss Lizzie F.
Eastman, the sister of Hon. P. G.:
Eastman and Capt. Wellington East
ham, of this city. The church was
beautifully decorated with flowers,
the windows near the Chancel were
darkened and lamps lighted, which
gave the scene a weird appearance
when portion of the bridal party
consisting of Messrs. Griff T. Smith,
Lewis Pomeroy, Tol. Stribling and
Misses Rebecca Barbee, Rhoda East
am, Rhoda Long, and Alice East
ham, followed by the bride leaning
on the arm of her brother, marched
slowly up the aisle in the order in
which they are named, while the
organ pealed forth in elegant style
the notes of Medelshon's beautiful
Wedding March, rendered in ele-
CANT style by Prof. Max Whitman,
of Middleport, Ohio. and were met
at the Chancel by the groom and
his best man. Mr.. Geo. d. Eastman,
and as the Rector, Rev. C. C. Pear

and impressive ceremony of his
church pleasing effect was produ-

distant may music which stole on
the ear from the skilled and gentle
touch of the Professor at the organ.
When the twain had been pronoun-
ced man and wife, and the carriages
had driven from the church door to-
wards the depot, we could but feel
that Mason county had lost one of
its fairest and sweetest yonng ladies,
yet we were consoled with the re-
Election that she had gone from our
midst to brighten and adorn an
other home, and make friends, as
she surely will, among another peo-

A ROYAL SAVAGE.
Tho Residence OF King George, the Ruler
OF tho Tongkn Islands.


of tho Tongkn Islands.
We called at Tongatuba, the princi-
pal island of the Friendly, or Tongan,
group, and, learning that the King was
then in residence, determined to pay
our respects to the celebrated old man,
Of whom we had heard 50 many and
such strange stories. His house, we
found. was very nice-looking two
storied wooden building, close to the
sea, and stood in good-sized COM
pound. fenced in on all sides. Passing
through handsome pair of cast-iron
gates VIC arrived at the mansion itself,
the veranda Of which appeared to bo
used rs coach house, for there was
proudly and snugly stored away the
royal buggy; rather an anomalous
sight for palace and strange posi-
ton for an equipage of state.
There were no signs Of life about the
place, and failing to wake any one by
repeated knocks Mt the front door. we
decided TO circumnavigato the estab-
lishment, and did SO, finding it chill
and lifeless everywhere till we came to
a row of cool houses and upon curious
sight There, in tho veranda of one
of them, squatted an ancient and dusky
person, with only scant cloth fastened
about his waist, and bending his head
obediently before an old woman who
was literally plastering it with lime.
As soon as the curious pair became
aware of our presence the process in
operation was arrested, and, perceiv-
ing this, we were about to address
them to explain our presence and ask a
few questions, when the gentleman of
the limy head roared out something in
a truly terrible voice, and at the same
time fine young Tongan, very oily
and three-quarters nude, came rushing
out from tho Interior toward us. With
much politeness and evident agitation
he conducted us away from the veranda
and back to the big house, where in
broken English, backed up by much
gesticulation, he revealed TO us the ap-
palling fact that we had trespassed
upon the privacy Of no less person
than his majesty the King.
Having humbly apologizcd for our
innocent intrusion and received re-
assuring answer, we were ushered
through the window into a sort of
drawing-room, well-furnis he'd apart
ment, with number of red velvet
chairs set around long mahogany
table-one chair a little higher than tho
rest. acting, no doubt, as a throne.
Here we waited for about hall an hour,
when his majesty entered, accompa-
MED by an interpreter, and was graci-
ously pleased to accord us a formal in
terview. He shook hands very pleas
antly with our party, and we all sat
down ON the red velvet chairs, the in
terpreter squatting on the floor be-
tween.
The King, seen at closer quarters,
was really noble specimen Of semi
savage, standing quite six feet four
inches, of wonderfully well proper
toned and athletic build, upright as
dart, and moving grandly in spite OF
his advanced ge.-Londen Globe.
