New YORK, Dec. 2S The usual holt
day dizziness overlook the stock market
to-day The narrowness of dealings was
quiet in contrast to the activity of the
earlier DAYS of the week. At the same
time there was more, strength though it
was chiefly confined TO a few leaders and
was completely neutralized by late trans
actions. London again came lower this
morning and had a few selling orders in
the market of which the trading element
was disposed to take ad-
vantage and some weakness
was manifested at the opening.
London, however, turned over to the
bull side, and while there was no i'm
portaut buying in the general list there
was good speculative buying. The close
was active and the final changes are all
for fractional amounts and are about
equally divided between gains and losses.
Railroad bonds were more active. The
tone of the general list was quite firm
and most issues are higher this evening
Government bonds firm.
State bonds dull and steady.

News reached us Tuesday of the
death by drowning in the Ohio river,
at Parkersbnrg, of Miss Sallie Simp.
son of Newburg. On Tuesday of
last week she got everything in read
mess and started. as her mother sup
posed. for Kingwood to attend the la.
stitute, but instead she purchased a
ticket for Grafton. Here she was seen
by Mr.. Svmnel Crayton, of Wheeling,
who conversed with her a few minutes.
When the train 20 Parkersburg was
about ready to leaye Grafton, she
purchased ticket to that place, and
got aboard the train. She was seen
by someone eve cid not learn their
name) to cross the river to Belpre, Q.
hio and after staying in that town
short time returned to Parkcrsburg
where all trace of her was lost. Mrs.
Simpson, on learning of the strange
conduct of her daughter, became
alarmed and made every effort to end
her daughter and bring her back home,
but all to no purpose until Monday
of this week when telegram from
Parkersburg was received stating
that her body had been found floating
in the Ohio river at that place.
Miss Simpson was about twenty
three years OF age, bright, intelligen
and liked by all who knew her. She
had taught school in this county and
was considered one of our best
instructors. 1t is thought her mind
had become suddenly unsettled and
was the cause of her going to her
death instead OF going to Kingwood
as she had intended. Her widowed
mother has the sympathy of all who
know her The remains were brought
to Newburg Tuesday night and
inferred iu the Newburg cemetery
yesterday morning.

wholesale Arrest orRurgIsrs.

A gang OF tramps broke into the
store NV. w. Shoch, Rowlesburg,
early last Wednesday morning and
carried off eight or nine suits of clothes
two or three gold watches, some jew.
elry, cutlery and notions. They left
the town, evidently with the incen.
tion of making their way TO another
state. but lost their way in the woods
and after wandering around for about
twenty.four hours, struck the railroad
at Eightv-Cut---four miles from
ROwlesburg-just in time TO meet the
pursuing party who happened to be
passing that place at the same time.
They were promptly arrested and ta-
ken to Rowlesburg whree a hearing
was had, and were committed to jail
TO await the action Of the next grand
jury. They were lodged in Jail on
Friday. Prosecuting Attorney Fort.
ney, finding the indictment was not
legally drawn up, caused them to be
rearrested and brought before Squire
Nef for examination. After being
examined and evidence sufficient to
commit them TO await the action of
the next grand jury obtained, the
clothes worn by the prisoners were ex.
amined by Mr.. Shoch who identified
them as belonging to HIM. The five
men arrested give the names of
George Harris, Frank Adams, Thorn.
as Burnes, Morris Ellis and Walter
Lee. The sixth man of the gang

Pole Raising at ReedsyilIe.

Saturday, September /, was a gala
day for the people of Reedsyillc who,
in pursuance of a previous arrange
ment, assembled and raised, amid great
enthusiasm, a majestic hickory flag pole
in honor of Cleveland and Thurman.
Despite the inauspicious prospect of the
morning for favorable day, by p.
m. not only Valley but the adjoining
districts were represented by goodly
number, which goes to prove the grow
ing interest of Preston's Democracy.
This is demonstrated by the fact that
this was the first Democratic flag whose
colors foated triumphantly Ger that
little village.

pEMoCRATs TAKE NorIcE.

In Pursuance of the resolutions past
at the county convention held at King
wood ON July 10, 1883, there will be
meetings held in the several magis,o-
rial districts of this county on
Saturday, September rs, 1888,
at o'clock p. m. for the purpose of
selecting two members of the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee from each
district, and to send delegates to the
county nominating convention to be
held at Terra Alta September 30, 'SS.
1t is also further recommended that
nominations for district officers be made

said, except where district committee
men have made other arrangements.
The places of holding said meetings
will be as follows:
Kingwood district, Kingwood.
Valley district, Reedsvillc.
Lyon district, Ncwburg.
Reno district, Fellowsvillc.
Union district Carmel.
