what the well will do, but the prObabili-

The St. ClsiIsville Gazette has the fol-
lowing account of a novel legal proceeding
on the part of Belmont county lady;
''Tbe case of the State of Ohio VS.. Jas
Weekley and Louis McClOud, from Smith
township, created quite an interest in JUS
tice Linn's Court yesterday. The prose.
cutting witness, Miss Mary Jackson, had
for long time been teacher IN the NJ. l..
Sabbath school at Canterville. In the reor-
ganization of the school last spring, for some
reason she was not selected az a teacher.
She. however, claimed that her successor
had not been selected in accordance with
the requirements of the church discipline,
and persisted in keeping her place. On
the nineteenth OF May 'forbearsnce hav-
ing ceased to be virtue in the opinion
of the defendants, who occupy the posi-
tions of superintendent and assistant su'
perintendent Of the school, Miss Jackson
was taken in hand by them and forcibly
elected from the church, and the doors
locked against her. Miss Jackson claims
that she was Injured by this rough treat
ment on the part of the defendants. The
parties are all highly respected in the COM
munity and the church, and the affair is
one to be much regretted
The Justice, after hesripg the evidence,
held the defendants TO answer before the
Common Pleas Court.

CHARLESTON, W. VA, November % -
The most important land suit ever decided
in the United States Circuit Court for this
State was decided by Judge Jackson to-
day. It was the Gaze Of Marie E HOyt, Of
New York, against W B. Mcclure, COM
missioner Of school lands of Wyoming
county, and n. B. Buskirk holding the
same office in Logan county and involved
four hundred and eighty thousand acres Of
land situated in Wyoming, Nc
DoweI and Logan counties and
known as the Robert Morris
survey. The Judge, upon the application
of the complainant, granted an order Of in
Junction against defendants from proceed
ing against the lands in question for the
benefit Of the State school fund, or in any
way interfering Herewith; holding that
Jessie r. Twins purchase in July, 1885,
under the proceedings of the Wyoming
county Circuit Court was a purchase uuder
the Sarver survey, locating said land IN all
in making sale Of said land 20 Irwin
parted with all her title thereto and could
no. again proceed against it.
His decision leaves Marie E. HOyt, who
purchased from Irwin and her cO-OwneIs,
@. F. Thomas, Of Wilmington, Del., and
Jessie r Irwin, OF Oceans, this State, in
full possession Of 3 very large and the
most valuable tract Of coal and timber land
in the State, end is considered here q most
important ruling for parties buying large
tracts Of lands from the State. The case
has been before the court two years, and
was exhaustively argued by counsel on
either side. The proceedings show that
the land is now worth s. per acre, while
eight years ago it was worth only ten cents
per acre. The great increase is attributed
10 the development Of the lands and build
irg Of railroads in the southern part Of the
State, where this tract Of land is situated.
The opinion Is clesr and iOrcible, snd
meets with the approval of the bar. Tne
Judge, in rendering his decision. said that
the E fort on the part Of the State 10 sgain
sell this land when she had ODce gotten
her taxes was, on the part Of the School
Commissioners, the most reprehensible
conduct

Hovers Around the Ascending Spirit Of the
Dead Ameer.
LONDON, November 29-The report
which comes from st. Petersburg OF the
death of Abdurrahman Khan, Ameer Of
Afghanistan, rnises a variety Of grave ques-
tions as to the conrse Of events in the i'm
mediate future on the frontiers Of Turks
tan and Afghanistan.
AS Russia opsnly favored the sttempt5
of the pretender, Ayoub Khan, to usurp
the throne, it is not TO bs expected
that, no = the throne has legitima;eIy be-
come vacant she will stand by and see II
filed by vassal Of England without
making an effort to seat a ruler subservient
to herself, and here the trouble will begin.
The military roads into Beloochissan pro-
ected by England during the frontier
Afghan troubles, the construction Of which
was suggested By the necessities which then
arose and the possibility Of a Russian ad-
vance upon Herat, have been steadily ad-
vancing toward completion and are capable
of extension at very short notice, while
railways started about the came tine on
the Turkestsn frontier byRussia have been
increasingly pushed forward.

THE LATEST COMBINE.
The brotherhood and Association VII

The brotherhood and Association VIII
Unite.
CHICAGO, November ga special dis
patch from Columbus, o., says: Unless
the present base ball deal miscsrries the
American Association and the Brotherhood
will make common cause against the Ma
ticnal League 10 ten cities next season.
The preliminary arrangements have been
made and the only thing now neces-
sary is a formal acceptance OF the
proposed plan of smslRamation by
a committee of the Brotherhood, who will
meet at fremont House, Chicago, for that
purpose, within few days, or East some
time before the meeting of the American
Association in this city to 10th inst. The
proposition is to combine the present
Brotherhood teams in Chicago, Pittsburg,
Buffilo, New York, Philadelphia, Boston,
Cleveland and indianapolis, with ths As
sociation teams st Columbus and st, Louis;
merging the Athletic and Brooklyn clubs
into Philadelphia, and dropping the Lou
isville and Baltimore clubs entirely. The
latter management has been flirting all
along with the League msgustes, and
Louisville is considered dead as base ball
town.
This line of sction has been taken only
after long consideration ty the leading
Association clube and after full study of
the situation. The National League aid
it's best to wreck the Association by in
ducing Cincinnati, Kansas City and Brook
lyn to leave its ranks ard row it has come
to survival of the fttest. The Associa-
ton clubs concerned in this deal will sign
all their men and then make open war
upon the National League by joining the
Brotherhood at its December meeting.
This deal has been worked quietly.

and in the afternoon met the members Of
the City Water Board, at the Office Of that

last session that bis former offers could not
be accepted. What the nature Of tbis
rev proposition was could not be ascer-
tained, except that it was to o con-
siderable degree more advantageous
to the city than anything heretofore sub
mitted by him. The proceedings of the
meeting were not made public, but at the
adjournment one Of the Board stated that
he was not in faver of accepting the amend
ed proposal. He could not speak for the
other members, however. Another mem

ICY.
sULLY's OPINION OF THE SPORT.
"Now," said Sullivan, "this is the kind
Of thing like. 1t shows there is some
appreciation of real fighting left in this
country. In fact it proves that the ring is
growing in favor again instead of declin-
ing. Why, if it wasn't for the laws that
people make to get Sunday school votes
there would be such a fighting enthusi-
asm in this country as the old-timers never
dreamed Of
"Wby do they offer me such big money
to fight. Well, l will tell you. I've
been licking pretty nearly everybody so
easily that, honestly, | must confess, folks
hardly got their moneys worth. If
man stood up to fight me why he
ALWAYS WENT TO SLEEP
before the fun had really time to begin.
Men who have stayed in the ring for
awhile have done it by running all the
time, and of course ii is hardly worth
thousands Of dollars TO ese ore man
run away from another. Now, you
see they think they've got really great
man in the black fellow and that he is
going to make me work and do big fight
| hope they have good fight. I'd like
to get man who really could fight.
POINTERS FOR GREAT MEN.
whats my opinion Of Jackson? Well,
don't want TO kill him before the fight,
but I guess it wont be as hard as they think
TO make has been OF him. They
bank too much on his having done
Smith. Smith was @ good one to
look at snd q good one to stand punish
ment, but he couldn't hurt anybody. To
make black man lose interest you want
to hurt him. OF course, I'll accept
this $35, 900 invitation if Jackson
can get out of his ridiculous
contract binding him TO the California
Athletic Club. That was not the contract
of great man. A great man in any line,
acting or fighting, like me, doesn't tie
himself up. He knows his own business.

srRANGLED TO DEATH.

How ". Fl. Harvey Paid the Penalty OF
His Triple CrimeI
GUELPH, ONT, November 29.-Wm. H.
Harvey, who in March last murdered his
wife and two daughters, was han4d at &
o'clock this morning. The execution was
one of the worat pieces of bungling ever
witnessed. The weight which lifted the
body was not heavy enough, and the scaf-
fold was not high enough to give sufficient
rebound to break the condemned mans
neck, and his struggles and cOntortion
as he was slowly strspgled to desth were
friehtful. To add to the horror of the
hanging the knot slipped, and the gurg-
ling in the mans throat ss his life Was be-
ing choked out could be heard outside the
Jail walls.
Harvey was arrested for embezzlement
last March. He was released on bail,
went home, killed mis- wife and two dsugh-
ters, and started out with the evident in
tention of killing his son and committing
suicide, but was arrested.
