A SwindIer In Limbo.

On Monday, the Ne,cs contained
the account of the swindling oper-
ations in the vicinity OF Martinsburg
of party representing himself as
DR.. Henry, Of Baltimore, an oculist,
and who swindled several parties in
that locality out of sums of money.
Wednesday evening officer George
Wassen, of this city, arrested Henry
in this place, and who proves to be q
party known to our authorities as a
man with numerous aliases, such as
Henry Gerkins, Prof. Sullivan, etc.,
and who was arrested and fined dur
ing our last agricultural fair for car
rying on "snide game"
Henry, Gerkins, or Sullivan, as it
may suit convenience to call him,
was placed in Jail to await any action
that may be taken by the authorities
at Martinsburg.
When arrested the "Prof." had on
his person a liberal supply of spec
tacles, and other articles used by
him in duping the unwary.
The item as published in the Ne,os
put the officers upon his track, and
lead to his arrest, for which, how.
ever, we take no credit as we are not
SO egotistical as to be constantly
blowing our own trumpet.--Hagers.
oaon Ne,os.
Later news proves that Henry is
not the man wanted.

Withered her ChiId's Wrists.

Ever since the birth of her daugh-
ter Mamie, who is now girl of 8
years, Mrs. John Evans of Wheeling,
W. Va, has been imbued with the
idea that enemies were watching for
an opportunity to steal the child.
For eight years the woman has not
allowed her daughter out of her
sight, and Cor most of the time she
has kept a firm clasp on one of Nan
MES wrists. As a result the girls
wrists have not developed with her
body, they are small and withered,
being little larger than mans
thumb. The girl has been kept away
from playmates of her own age and
her mother keeps her for hours out
on the river bank, where the poor
crazed woman watches vainly for the
return Of her husband who discour-
aged and driven to drink by his wife's
condition, disappeared two years
ago. This is one of the strangest
cases of monomania on record. and
has attracted much attention among
local physicians.

Fearful Fate Of Two Boys.

AKRON, O., March lO.-John Gree
ley, John Costigan, William McGin-
ME. and Frank Shrank, aged about
I6, stole quantity of blastine pow
der to-day and started down the
railroad track to explode it. On the
way it caught from matches in the
pocket of one of the boys, and ex-
ploding, frightfully burned all four,
John Greeley was fairly cooked from
the waist down and the flesh hung in
shreds. He will die. Shrank's arm
was baked and torn, his side blister
ed and his clothes burned from him.
He is in a critical condition. The
other two came running to the city
with their hands and faces bleeding.
Their wounds are not fatal, though
Costigan suffers terribly.

State News.

A pack of wolves entered a pasture
field belonging to Madison Stephen
son, farmer living about five miles
from Clay G. H., one night last week,
and killed two sheep and wounded
several others.
SHEPHERDsTowN, w. Va, March
11.-The corporation election took
place here to-day, and the "wet"
ticket was successful throughout by
66 majority. George w. Humrick-
house was elected mayor.
A curious case of theft is reported
from Charleston. A colored man
named White, who runs on the steam
er Boone, drove off COW belonging
to Jefferson Munnils, killed her, cut
up the meat and sailed it down.
A few days ago G.. w. Chambers,
of Marshall county, was seized in the
calf of the leg by a vicious bull dog
and bitten in a terrible manner. Mr..
Chambers was seriously injured, and
at last accounts was suffering intense
ly, his leg being terribly swollen.
A peculiar and fatal accident oc-
Cured at Buckhannon on the first of
the present month. Mrs. Page Ward
left home, leaving two little children,
Blanche, aged ten months, and Fred
die, aged two years, at home. Dur
ing her absence the baby became en-
tangled in the strap of the sewing
machine, and when the mother re-
turned it was dead, with the strap
around it's neck.
Mr.. James Young, living near the
Clay county line in Nicholas county,
put out "wolf bait" "a few nights ago,
and next morning found dead, near
the place, one large wolf, and a large
wild cat. He is very proud of the
wolf, since he and his near neighbors
have lost one hundred head of sheep
by wolves during the past year. Be-
sides this, Nicholas county pays $50
bounty for wolf scalp.

A shocking and fatal accident oc-
cured about five miles from Winches-
ter on the Pughtown road last Thurs
day evening. Charles Price, q neph-
ew of Mrs. Mary Martin who lives
in that neighborhood, on his way
from Winchester, picked up stick
of dynamite, which had been dropped
by the workmen on the railroad.
That morning he bored hole in a
tree and stuck the explosive in it.
He attached fuse and lit it, but
thinking it had gone out did not
leave the tree. 1t was burning in
the middle however, and in a mo
ment the dynamite exploded with
great force, and the unfortunate
boys abdomen was torn from his
body. He was taken to the house
Of his aunt, and Dir Janney was sent
for, but medical skill could do him no
good. He died Friday morning at 10
o'clock, and was buried on Saturday
at the Ridge meeting house. His
home was in Martinsburg, but he had
been staying with Mrs. Martini
Nelos.

SPRING VALLEY MILLS.
Cold and windy March.

Cold and WINDY March.
Mr. Wiley of Arkansas, was a
guest of Mr. John M. Henshaw one
day last week. He is not the Origi-
nal Traveller from that State, but is
jolly whole souled representative
Of the geno homo.
Quite a lot of young folks were
gathered at Mr.. VIM. Kilmer on last
Friday night, and report a splendid
time in social pastlmes and were
handsomely entertained by the host,
than whom no one is better capable
of dispensing hospitality.
Mr.. w. E. Nicklin has some idea
of trying to start canning house at
his mill, provided he can get enough
stock subscribed. Parties desirious
of taking stock in paying enterprise
would do well to call on or write to
his son Jos. for information.
Last Monday was noted here for
the largest rainfall of the season.
Mill Greek was ia an overlooked con-
dition for several hours. Much dam
age was done by washing away foot
bridges, fences, &c, and what proved
nearly a casualty happened to Mr..
Sewell Morrison. AS he was return
ing from Silver Hill school house
with his little daughter Minnie, horse
back, he attempted to cross Mill
Greek over the Roadway of Spring
Valley Mill dam, the horse stumbled
and threw them both in the rushing
water where after struggling awhile,
Mr.. Ruble came to his assistance and
thus averted the catastrophy. The
horse was washed over the dam, and
struggled out below losing the saddle
which was afterwards found in some
debris below Mr.. Robert Colds
house.

Late Monday night Nelson Brule
shot Miss Ida Corneau in the bead,
and then put bullet into his own
skull, at Detroit, Mich. Brule, who
is the son of the postmaster at Lake
Linden, Mich, in the upper peninsula
of Michigan, met Miss Corneau last
summer while she was visiting friends
at Lake Linden, and some time later
they became engaged. Brule came
to Detroit three weeks ago intending
to remain until after the marriage.
A few days ago, however, she learned
that he was a married man and re-
fused to have anything further to do
with him. Monday night they met
on the street. After walking short
distance he threw his arm around her
and kissed her and then drew a revol-
yer and shot her in the ear She fell
to the sidewalk, and thinking he had
killed her he placed the revolver to
his own head and fired. The woman's
injuries are not considered dangerous,
but Brule will probably die.

1t would be very convenient just
now if Canada were already annexed
to the United States. In the terri
tory drained by the Yukon river, in
Alaska, valuable gold mines have
been discovered. There is dispute
as to the boundary line between
British America and the United
States at this point. British Colum-
bia claims the ground in which the
richest of the gold diggings are stu
ated, and the question is one yet TO
be settled. Coal mines have also
been discovered in the Yukon re-
gion. and it abounds in rich fur bear
ing animals. There is here the pos
sibillty for grave international
trouble.

THE DIFFERENCE.-Pres
Harrison and his suite left Indianapolis
in splendid palace car Monday for
Washington preparatory to his inaugu-
ration. When Thomas Jefferson was
first inaugurated president, just eighty
nine years ago. he rode from his Month
cello home in Albemarle to Washington
on horseback, with his body servant,
tied his horse in front of the White
House, walked in and took bis oath of
office without any parade or show, and
on strictly Democratic priciple and
Style Manchester Neios.
This is an old chestnut. Historians
deny that Jefferson tied his horse, and
walked in in the manner above de-
scribed. He had as much pomp and
vanity about him, as other men. Re.
member there were no cars then, and
probably that accounts for some of
the simplicity so strictly Democratic
then, but now so un-Demociatic.
Hunt up some newer chestnut.
