A YOUNG LADY
Succeeds In Raising Breeze in West
Virginia Court Room.


PARKERsBURG, w. Va, April T.
Especial " esterday evening witness
ed an exciting scene seldom paralleled
in the court room of Mason county.
The case was an application for Ii
cense on the part of a prominent liquor
dealer named Livia. Petitions pro and
con signed by hundreds of citizens were
presented to the court by able lawyers,
as the case had excited general aLten'
tiOn. The court had listened to the
counsel and a decision granting the
license was almost rendered when the
daughter of the applicant, a beautiful
young woman, and Deputy Clerk OF the
County Court was informed of the fact.
Rushing into the court room, she rails
ed her hands and demanded an audi
ence. The court granted it. Then the
young applicant sent up such an ap-
peal that license should not be granted
her father, as is seldom heard. Couch
ed in the most chaste language and
burning with that eloquence which the
righteousness of her cause inspired, for
20 minutes she held the Judges and
the vast audience spellbOund. Counsel
for the applicant, she said, had
alleged that the petition against grant
ing the license was signed principally
by women. Rising to her full height,
this young woman declared that "the
fundamental law of the United States
gave the right of petition to all, re-
gardless of sex" Her eloquence caused
the judges to reverse their decision,
and they refused the license.

but lay in state of coma, dying with

The members of his family were at his

The crews Of workmen which have
been working from both sides are now
with hearing distance and will meet
tonight. The tunnel, which 10 9,9os
leet long, Is through solid rock nearly
all the way and has been finished as
the work proceeded. When the final
piercing is accomplished, there will
be nothing to do bat TO lay track and
trains will be running in three weeks.
The tunnel was begun early in 1856,
and the contract was for about 81, ,0O0,-

were no roads leading into the noun

TO be hauled in on wheels and trans
ierred to runners, and were in that
way hauled TO the tunnel. In one
place in the tunnel the pressure of the

opinion that he can with some work
make 1t sufficiently strong for service,
and It's continuation along the face OF
the bluff will be built by him in the
substantial and workmanlike manner
that characterizes all his work. 1t is
the expectation that this work will be
completed early in June and the
water turned into the ditch. With a
view to render this years service as
available for agricultural purposes as
possible, Col. Sheetz was engaged TO
make Il new survey Of the line of the
ditch, show ng where repairs are to be
made and levels changed. This is
rendered necessary owing To the fact
that the ditch was dug more than five
years ago and having lain out doors
all this time without any care, il is
not o. course in the best condition for
holding water.
While il is hoped and expected that
this years trial OF the ditch will result

an experiment. The How of water in
