OFF FOR SOUTH AMERICA.


Mr.. and Mrs. Darwin Rider left here
Monday morning on their trip to Buenos
Ayres. A large number gathered at the
station to see them off. They were to re-
main in New York till yesterday and then
proceed by rail to Newport News, Va,
where they will embark on the steamer.
Last week Thursday night Mr.. Rider
entertained some of his friends at sup
per at the Addison House which will long
be remembered by those present. The
early part of the evening was passed in
social reunion. At about 10 o'clock sup
per was announced. 1t was an elegant
affair, prepared in the best possible man
ner and served in style which clearly
demonstrated that Mr.. Higgins, the new
manager of the house, knows how to do
things handsomely and that his assistants
are no less competent and willing. The
supper discussed to every ones satisfac-
ton, C. NJ. Wilds, Esq, who acted as
toastmaster, raped the tables to order
and spoke at some length of the place
Mr.. Rider had filled in the community, of
his worth as a citizen, of his faithfulness
as friend and of the good wishes, not
alone of himself or of the company assem-
bled but of the whole county, that would
attend him and Mrs. Rider on their Jour-
ney. Mr.. Wilds called upon each of the
guests for speech. Most of them re-
sponded, or tried to respond, and those
who didn't are not speechmakers upon
any occasion whatsoever. 1t is needless to
say that the toastmaster's predatory
remarks were heartily seconded-in their
speeches by those who could talk and in
their minds by those who couldn't. All
in all, it was most enjoyable occasion.
The guests of the evening were: Mr.. A.
j. Marshall, Hon. George Hammond,
Hon. D. w. Nash, Mr.. G. S. Wainwright
c. NJ. Wilds, Esq, Mr.. 7. Neville of Yer
gennes. Col. n. F. Dunshee of Bristol

People who are congratulating them
selves upon the stringency of the new Ii

worked at our last term of court. Two

but as the new law affixed new penalty
since the cases were appealed they were
mol pressed and the defendants went scot

how many people cleared themselves in
this way in various parts of the State.

with the dairy interest of our State; and

Special Telegram to the Register.
CHARLESTON, W. VA, January The
KanaTha County Commissioners failed to
file answer 10 Judge Guthrie's Court, to-
day. TO show why they should not be pun
ished for contempt in disregarding Judge
McGinnis' Injunction. The only defense
they can make is, that Judge McGinnis
had no jurisdiction in the case Hon.
"Fudd" McGinnis stated a. much to the
REGIsrER correspondent, and reiterated it
in as confident a manner 81 if he were max
ing the weightiest legal point. The cause of
the delay in fling the answer Is supposed
to be the fact that "Fudd' and his attOr-
news may have stumbled on little law.
Section 6, chapter 6, of Warth's Code
reads:
Every Judge Of a Circuit Court shall
have a general Jurisdiction in awarding In
functions. whether the judgment or pro-
csedings epioiDed be in or out OF his cir
cult. or the party against whose proceed
ings the injunction be asked reside in or
ont Of the same"
This pretty efectually knocks cut
"Fudd's' point and his attorneys are at
sea. The Kanawha county Commission
ers acted in high-hsnded violation Of the
law in certifying the returns when under
restraint aud no wriggliug will enable
them to escape. Their course is condemned
