OUSTED THE PRESIDENT
The Experience Wheeling Man Had
on a Train.
Wheeling REGISTER


A very good story is told on a
prominent, Wheeling gentleman
which is vouched for as strictly
true. The gentleman had been
east on trip and was return
ing, having secured seat in parlor
car. Some time before reaching
Deer Park, the Wheeling gentleman
arose and took walk through the
train to stretch his legs. When he
returned in the course of half an
hour he saw gentleman occupying
his chair. Walking up he politely
remarked:
"Beg pardon, sir, you have my
seat"
The gentleman, who was a me-
dunn sized man wearing full gray
beard and a silk hat, Immediately
arose and having politely asked par
don for his mistake, walked to the
rear end of the car, where he stood
until the train reached Deer Park as
he was unable to secure seat.
When the train stopped he stepped
out and quite crowd was in wait
ing on the platform. Then the
Wheeling gentleman discovered that
he had deposed the President of the
United States, Benjamin Harrison,
and he Republican, too. The shock
was great, and the Wheeling man
hasn't exactly recovered yet.

place of his business, just from New
York, where he bought the largest

General green B. Raum has been
appointed Commissioner of Pensions
vice Corporal Tanner bounced. The
lately dismissed Commissioner, Tan
ner, who probably ignorantly prosti-
tuted the pension office to reckless
fraud and theft, pronounces the cleo
ton of General Raum as "a splendid
appointment" 1t is recalled, as an
important record bearing on the fit
ness of General Raum's appoint
ment, that in February, 1876, when
General Babcock was acquitted, by
suborned testimony, in the St. Louis
whiskey ring trials, Raum was the
head of the Internal Revenue De-
partment embracing this whiskey
tax, and he telegraphed Babcock his
congratulations.

days ago after it was issued to his
great horror he discovered two col
umns of keen, sharp criticism of the
present administration. What to do
Lawshe didn't know. At last he
sent lot of affidavits to the de-
partment at Washington affirming
that the matter appeared without
his knowledge or consent. He was
forgiven with reprimand about let
ting his office cat out, and a sentence
to the punishment of hereafter read

We are fast taking leave Of the
Fall season. The leaves are raining
down With every breeze. The mighty
frosts are browning everything that
remains green. The summers foil
age is quite gone, and the forests
are almost bare.
In this climate we do not expect
three months Of fall weather. We
more usually have six months of
winter. The Fall has been given
way and been absorbed in the hoary
winter season.
1t only remains now for us to
gather in our corn and pumpkins
and go into winter quarters. Before
you know it the pail of winter will
be drawn over everything in sight.

ATrpicnl French Trial.

At the trial OF youth OF eighteen
years at Paris. two weeks ago. for break
ing into the house Of two old people for
purposes OF robbery and severely
wounding one OF them and causing the
death of the other the attorney general,
who prosecuted the case, made tho re-
markable statement that ont Of twenty
six thousand criminals arrested in Paris
during the year just closed sixteen thou
sand were youths under twenty years Of
age. He stated further that the ass0-
ciations OF assassins and thieves in that
city are composed principally Of lads and
young men of from sixteen to twenty
years Tho murderer then on trial Is
described as having a fresh and rosy
face, with great blue eyes, and long,
curly hair, handsome RS girl, appa-
rently not more than sixteen years old,
and looking more like IN innocent che
rub in steined-glass church window
than the unmitigated ruiiian that the
testimony proved him TO be. The attor-
ncy general pleaded for the death PEN
atty, but a sympathetic jury brought in
a verdict Of guilty. with extenuatng
circumstances, and he WAS sentenced to
hard labor for life.

A GRACEFUL MOVEMENT.

The lady, with her right hand grasp
ing her skirts in tho way she bad indi-
Gated, took the eentleman's right hand,
and, swinging her body upon her hips
away from him, raised his hand until
she had brought it over tho back Of her
head, then she looked with an engaging
smile at crack in the ceiling, while the
gentlemen, his right hand extended as
indicated and his left at his side, swung
about in the other direction and looked
prayely at the ceiling upon the other
side Of the room. After maintaining
this pose for a moment, or if it had been
in actual dancing, unit! a certain measure
OF music had been played, they slowly
changed this position by swinging the
bodies around toward each other at the
same time never moving their feet, until
they were looking directly into each
others eyes. This completed the move
ment, and a very graceful one 1t was,
too.

Tho Building Committee Of the Cente-

to find some scheme for raising tho
necessary funds for erecting the new
church building 4 scheme has been
suggested, which is III brief, to set the
church up in business, erect a handsome
business block at the corner of Seventh
street and First avenue, where the present
church is, and let it pay for itself and the
new church, and when this has been ac-
complished, use the rapidly accruing
profits Of the scheme for the benefit Of
the church.
In case this plan is adopted a syndi.
cate will be formed to erect the building
and the church.
A number of wealthy members OF the
Methodist congregation have already in
dictated their Willingness to take stock in
the scheme, and it is probably 90. in
case the block Is putu at Seventh street
