He Attempts Familiarity With
the MUSES..

Judge Slough, who is one oi
the ablest Judges in Ohio, like
all other able ard good men, has
his weakness. He tries TO write
poetry
Yesterday, when we were on
the street giving hot chase TO a
delinquent. the Judge made a
call at the Sentinel. The Judge
is not a delinquent and not afraid
TO call. This is proof of his good
ness as we'll as his greatness.
But while toasting his Toes at
our fire. eating the last best ap.
pie presented by Coroner Gage.
he gave himself away in follow
ing lines:

Sob, We seat our friends departed!
Would we were here before he started.
The Office Devll. seeing the
above lines on the table where
he expected 10 get the Gage ap-
pie, sat down and gave vent to
The following.

Lesson From O. Crime.

The tragedy, particulars of which
we publish on the outside Of this is
sue, which has draped the Royal
House OF Austria in mourning, con
taIns a mystery that Will probably
never be unfOIded the world. There
is enough known. however, to estnb
lsh the belief that he heir to the
throne, the only son of mis- royal
father met hls death bec,usc he
took advantage of bis bign station
10 inilict a wrong which even his
lifos blood could not atone.
The trend of this age is towards
mans equaiity-wipeing out Of the
so called privileges of rank and the
leyelllng of all rights to common
plane.
Prince Rudolph presumed up
on his nearness 10 an imperial
throne TO exempt hlm from the
consequences OF a tranegresslon.
but the hand of The avenger
stayed not for the dignity that
hedges kings and princes. II
smote him as ii would have smit
ten the peasant. and lis jusiiiica-
ton has no degrees.
It's the old case Of David and
the wife of the Hi;tiies. The
robe and the crown furnished no
shield from the consequences o!
that wrong. nor has it turned
aside the Just wrath in this case.
An example has been afforded
Il lesson taught by this tragedy
that men are but men after all
and that there Is no divine righ,
inherent im prince or king tc
wrong his fellow man.

ages entertained something of this
old notion of communion Of spir

have it from our greatest poet that
there are sermons in stones. Judge
Wright was much impressed with

Glid,len Il Crrtiss, of Boston. Mass,

than exhaust the personal property.
which is put down at $50, ,000.-
Tuesday Sheriff Gala gher served
writs covering $4,000. Tuesday
evening it Was reported from New
York that the Ohio a. Western had
made an assignment. Tho same
morning the Boston Safe Deposit
and Trust company fled a petition
in Common Pleas Court in this
county, praying the foreclosure ot
mortgages to secure bonds issued in
,he sum of $1,000 each, and to the
amount of from 100000 to $3..
100000; and aIso.'praying he ap

The prospect of a speedy adjust
ment OF the OHIO & Westerns af-
fairs is not very fa;teripg. in fact il
is believed that they will not be ad

complete wreck. The shut down
will throw about 700 men ont of EN-.
ployment and will have bad effec.
on business in the Valley. The bond
ed Indebtedness Of the Ohio q Wes-
tern Is som ewherc between So .000..
900 and $3,5G0,000. and though the
Company possesses magn iiicent
property, it will aot begin to meet
the bonded and other indeb' cdness.
The failure of the Ohio s. West
ern is an unfortunate affair. Many
persons will lose all they possess,
while some of the most splendid in
dustries in the Valley will be closed
for an indefinite period. and many
laboring men forced to hunt work
in other fie DIS, and at time of year
when there is the least possible
