NEXr THURSDAYS PICNIC.
For Benefit of sI,ters of st. Joseph.

For Benefit of Sisters of st. Joseph.
The picnic to be given at the State Fail
Grounds on Thuredsy next, the 22d, FOR
the benefit of the Sisters of st. Joseph,
promises to be one of the most successful
events of the year The preparations al
ready made give ample assurance that
there be 70 lack OF attractions. The races
alone ought to insure good crowd. The
pony running race will be especially inter
eeting. The prizes offered have proven
sufficiently to attract not only the local
hOraemen, but likewise owners Cf ponies in
Ohio and Pennsylvanis, aud an entry OF
twenty animals, and perhaps more than
the track will accommodate, are looked for.
Besides this pony race, and an interesting
running race al horses, there will be
foot races, for which prizes will be offered.
Dancing, concert music by the Opera
House Orchestra, football, QUOT pitching,
crcquet, tug of war, swings and shoot
ing gallery will furnish additional enjoy
ment, while the inner man will be tempt
ed by the prospect Of good dinner and
lighter Refreshments, TO be furnished by a
halt dozen or more tables.
The character Of the gentlemen who are
conducting the arrangements is suific lent
to assure the public that the whole affair
will be above reproach in every particular.
This combination OF attractions and the
fact that the picnic is to be given at SO
convenient a place as the State Fair
Grounds, and that the proceeds will e
to the Sisters Of ST. Joseph, should insure
very large attendance.

SOME BIG CASES
SIT FOR TRIAL IN THE UNITED STATES
COURT,
AT Grsenbrisr White Sulphur Springs Shot Through
the Head Sensation Dsnied-B. Il U.
Nsws-An Undiscovered Treasure.

Judge jackson has set the case OF the
Mercantile Trust Company, OF New YORK,
against the K. & o. Railroad Co., for
hearing before Justice Harlan and himself
at the White Sulphur Springs on August
II. The question to be considered is the
application on the part of the Trust Com
pany for the appointment Of q receiver OF
the K. G. o. railroad. This application
was made before them at the May term Of
Court at Charleston and was a short time
since refused by them on the grounds that
the bill as filed was not sufficient in law
to justify foreclosure of mortgage or the
appointment of receiver.
The case of Clark w. Rseder was ar
gued at the last term of the u s. Court at
Charleston before Judge Jackson, but he
will confer with Justice Harlan as to this
case also. Ii involves the validity of the
title to large tract Of land in Wyoming,
Mercer and Logan counties, sold by Reed
er to Clark for 500. 600. Clark claims that
Reeder can establish tide to only one
fourth of the lands while Reeder i1sists
that his claim is good to all of it.
In the case OF Maria Shaw vs. The
Randolph Boom and Lumber Company an
application will be argued before the
judges at White Sulphar for the appoint
ment Of new receiver.

No Truth 10 It.

Some one at Parkersburg telegraphed a
long story to the New York Herald, TO the
effect that by mistake in the acknowl-
ment Of deed for 24O acres of land. on
which Huntington is built the town would
collapse. The yarn was hung on an al
legged rumor that the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway Company are about to move
their immense car and engine shops, en-
ploying 1900 men, from Huntington in
this State, to ST. Albans, small town in
Kanawha county. Forty acres of land
have been purchased at st. Adams on
which to erect the plant. The cause of
the removal ia that recent litigation has
declared void deed for the land upon
which the present shops stard. In 1870,
when huntington, now q town of 600
people, was farm land, james Lsidley, at.
torney for @. p. Huntington, the noted rail-
road man, bought all the land upon which
Huntington now stands. In this tract was
one piece of 24G acres, belonging to Mrs
Penny hacker. Some time after a flaw was
found in the acknowledgment of Mira. Pen
nybscker, the effect of which was to give
her title in fee to the land. Laidley rep
resentiDg to her thst she had but dover
interest, bought it for small amount, and
claiming title to the entire tract brought
suit % recover it from the purchasers who
had in the meantime secured it. The suit
went against Laidley in all the courts, and
then Mrs. Pennyblcker, finding that she
had been deceived, entered suit against
Lsidley 10 recover her land, and sue
ceeded. She now owns nesrly al! the land
upon which the town is built and the tract
used by the Cleveland Ohio shops, valued
at $3.50 000."
The Huntington papers denounce this
in unmeasured terms, saying: There is
not and never was probability that the
O. & o. shops would be removed, and that
the final result of the Pennybacker and
Lsidley suit will not affect the railroad or
town in the remotest degree"
