OF the B. d o. depot at Moundsville

from Littleton advertised for a gov
erness and Benwood lady answered
it. He came in after her and on the

as one A number of the railroad

stream the boat split in two in the
bottom and the bark that held the
crowd went down. Luckily the wa

heroic boatman took one lady under

Abraham Suydam, a shrewd at
torney and real estate speculator,
who several years ago, was located
at Barboursville, has been arrested
in New York City for swindling.
Suvdam made sale of several large
boundaries of wild cat lands in this
State, and received several large
sums Of money on bogus title papers.
He afterwards got into trouble at
Chicago about some of his fraudu-
lent transactions. He is as sharp
as tack and can forge the sigma
ture of clerk so that the clerk him
self can hardly detect the ungen-
uineness of it. In preparing his

four children of Mr.. Cullens, or
Cults, were alone in the house, the
mother having gone out to milk the

secured the oil can and proceeded to
pour its contents into the stove, his
two brothers and little four-year-o
sister meanwhile watching him.
Unfortunately some embers still
slumbered beneath the dark cinders,
and suddenly the can exploded and
set fife to the little girls clothes.
Mortified, one of the boys ran to his
mother and told her that his ''little
sister was burning up;" but the

attention to their cries; and it was
only after reaching the house, some
time later, that she knew the horri-

before her lay her little girl actually
