Here's a Pretty Mess.

The political situation in West Vir-
ginia is one of well-nigh unexampled
perplexity, General Goff, the Repub-
lican candidate for the Goyernorsbip
at the election held last November
has taken the oath of Office upon the
ground that he received a majority
of the votes cast upon that occasion.
and that the failure Of the Speaker of
the House of Delegates to issue the
necessary certificate cannot properly
operate TO defeat the popular will
President Carr, of the State Senate.
has also had himself sworn in as
Governor, arguing that the Office has
become vacant, and that it devolves
upon him as president of the Senate
t. throw himself into the breach. In
the meanwhile Governor Wilson.
despite the expiration of his official
term, declines to recognize either
claimant and calmly holds the fort.
All this makes up situation whose
equities II Is not easy to determine.
But so far as can be Judged at this
distance and III the light of such in
Atl hltliloh 10 - ui nStilNt- ItSiutlI
Cars claims seem to have the best
legal basis. Since the result of the
voting must be certified To by the
Speaker before it can be officially re
cognized, General GofTs election is
inchoate and his position not legally
valid. As for Governor Wilson, his
term having expired his position is
clearly eNtra-constitutional; &; and thus
the office being vacant in contempla-
ton of law, the contention of Mr..
Carr seems to be well considered.
An application ON the part of General
Goff to the courts for mandamus
Speaker Woods to declare
the result of the election, as his duty
requires, Is what seems to be the
course that should be taken.-North

AFTER sIxTEEN YEARS HIS BODY Is FoUNI
IN 4 HOLLOW TREE
A special despatch from Harrods
burg, Ky, saws In 1873 John Simp
son was IA well to do farmer of Wash.
lngton county, with a wife and two
bright and interesting little children.
Simpson disappeared from home one
day, and all traces of INN We're lost.
His domestic life was most pleasant
and he was not known To have had
an enemy When he left he had a
large sum ofmoney, and his absence
was accounted for 10y thinking he
had gone to Harrodsburg to put the
money in bank He also wore a
| fine gold watch. After his continu-
ed absence foul play was suspected,
and search by his family was in
stituted and a reward offered, but all
failed To bring any tidings
Now comes the most mysterious
part of the affair. On his farm was
large oak tree Twenty feet from
the ground We're two large limbs,
forming n stub like appearance at the
forks of the tree. Yesterday the
tree was cut down by Simpsons
brother and son, now grown
Young man 1t was discovered hol-
low from the forks of the limbs near

surprise and horror when they split
the trunk to find the bones of n hui
man being, which, when exposed to
the air and handled bv the two men
crumbled to dust On further search
they found a gold watch, which the
elder Simpson at once recognized rs
his brothers. They took the
watch to. the wife, who also re-
cognized it as her husbands, but she
refused to accept the bones as those
of her husband, though ii is the uni
versal opinion that they are the re-
mains of John Simpson. But how
did the man get there, what became
of the money he was known to have,
and If he was murdered and placed
there, why did not the murderers
also take the watch The whole story
sounds like fairy tale, but it is writ
ten as it was told by a man who was
one of a half dozen neighbors who
gathered the bones, placed them in
Il coffin and buried them in the old
Simpson cemetery. He SAYS the
wife would not go to the burial, and
that she still insists that her hus-
band is alive, and she VIII vet see

Ii Is practically a free rum bill Two
years ago a constitutional amend

to-day Is the House passing free

presented to the Legislature by men
who called themselves temperance
men. As reported it allowed drug
Sists IN large towns and cities to sell
liquor for medicinal purposes on a
physician prescription. As amend
ed 1t allows municipal officers to
license any number of drug stores in
any town or city to sell in amounts
not exceeding aquart on physicians 5
prescription, and any druggist who

of an interesting occurrence which

to the Humane Society that George
Henney and wife had left the CITY,
taking with them her eighteen
months old laughter Lucy. She
thought that their destination was
Manchester, England. Five months
ago Mrs. Spellman had arranged with
the Henney family to board and take
care of her baby The theory is that
Mr.. and Mrs. Henney became so at

Spellman notified them n few DAYS

Mr. UNION, Pa, March 4, 80.
Mr.. Editor Il notice now and

Beay er in the Storm.

People who passed through the
Harrison Inauguration rain are not
through talking about 1t. The
Governor passed the ordeal of the
storm a. if the life and death of the
Republic hung tremblingly IN the
balance The Philadelphia Bulletine
speaks of him thus. There wasn't a
moment from the beginning to the
end of the services when the rain
stopped falling, and the weather
only cleared after the last visitor
had left the Inauguration ball.
General Beaver came in for the worst
of 1t. He wore no heavy overcoat,
and he sat on his horse from early
IN the morning until dark-all morn
ing arranging the procession, all
afternoon at the head of 1t, and all
evening reviewing It at Tenth and X
streets. BY the time he reached the
reviewing post the water was running
ont of his shoe and his figure pasted
to his black clothing as if he had
been melted and run into it. He
was undoubtedly chilled through,
but he sat still on horseback through
three weary hours raising his water
soaked silk hat every minute and
giving the ugly breezes n fresh chance
at his unprotected head. Citizens
near by carried him hot coffee, the
only thing he would take and he
appeared to be III reasonably good
condition when he left for his hotel.
