MEDINA,


Last Friday was divorce day in Com.
mon Pleas Court. Two decrees were en-.
tered, something unusual In the way Of
number, as the divorce docket has been
quite large heretofore. The couples made
happy by the judicial event were Betsy
Lamb, who was cut asunder from N. Z.
Lamb, and Clara Palmer, who had her
nuptial obligations severed from Samuel
Palmer. The two fair complainants felt
as happy as two happy bridesmaids In

General Rosser's Speech.

General Rosser. Of Virginia, made
an address i'm Baltimore before the
Maryland Line last Friday night. He
paid high tribute to the Southern
cavalryman, and handled Sherman
and Foraker without gloves. In the
course of his remarks he said: Il AIN
tired of Gettysburg reunions and
Blue and Gray love feasts which the
politicians are holding. l ain, and
believe that every brave confederate
soldier living to-day is, more loyal to
the constitutional government of the
United States and to the flag of the
new union than are the rank and file
Of the Grand Army of the Republic.
This banner" waving q confederate
battle-f1ag, under which we so glo-
riously fought is now a badge Of our
LOYALTY to ourselves. This is the cross
which we bore with a courage, pa
thence, and fortitude which entities
every brave, true, and tried confed-
crate soldier to wear a patriots i'm
mortal crown" Continuing, he said
the South was victorious in every bat
tie in Virginia from the first to the
last, and finally yielded only to star
vation 1T was fact and is still a
fact that a southern gentleman can
whip a puritanical Yankee every
time" He put down the confederate
flag, and taking up the Stars and
Stripes. he said: This is the flag Of
my country, and to our patriotic
hearts this flag symbolizes, by its
stars, the self illuminating light of
States sovereignty, and these bands
of red and white symbolic the bonds
of flesh and bone which, in E Pluri-
bus Unuln, unite them all in one I'M
ion of national life and destiny"

Children Eaten by Wolves.

News has reached White Earth,
Mimi, that few days since, in the
sparsely settled country around Ait
ken, two white children returning
to their homes late in the afternoon
from school. were attacked and COM
pletely devoured by ravenouS timber
wolves, O few scattered bones and
shreds of cloth alone remaining as
testimony of the children's fate. 1t
was supposed at first there were not
more than two wolves, but an Indian
hunter, shortly after the disappear.
ance of the children, encountered a
pack of ten of these fierce brutes near
the scene of the little ones death. He
used his Winchester with such effect rs
to kill eight of them, and, getting out
of his cartridges, he went up tree to
escape from the fangs of the remain
ing two. Nothing frightened by the
slaughter of the rest of the pack,
these two man-eaters squatted down
at the foot Of the tree awaiting the
moment that the Indian would be-
come their prey. When he thought
his fate sealed, two cartridges provi-
dentially made their appearance from
the depths of his pockets. With these
he settled the last two animals. The
forests in the northern part OF Aitken
county have for many years been in
tested with raging and voracious AMI
mails but this is the first instance for
many years of their venturing so
closely upon the settlements.

SETTLED.

The question as to who would be
the next Senator from West Virginia,
or whether there would be any Sena-
tor at all, was settled at Charleston
last Thursday afternoon. A telegram
was received at the REGISTER Office
an aggravatingly short time after our
edition had been printed off, announc-
ing the important news. When the
outlook was darkest for the election
of Senator, and when Democrats had
about given up hope, word was passed
around that Delegate Dorr had con-
cluded to act with his party. On
Thursday afternoon, when his name
was called, he made a short speech
stating his position. 1t don't make
much difference what he said for he
voted all right. Delegate Harr also
came into line, and the election Of Mr..
Kenna to succeed himself was fact.
There were great cheers from the
Democrats, while the Republicans
were downcast.
The election of Senator Kenna is
not only a satisfaction to the party Of
which he was the regular nominee,
but is a credit to our State. He has
represented West Virginia in the Uni
ted States Senate with ability and
honor. and has made name for him
self that is known all over our land.
There is every reason to believe that
his course in the future will be even
more brilliant than in the past, and
the interests Of our State will always
be safe in his hands.
The people Of this community have
a warm place in their hearts for Sen
ator Kenna, and they extend to him
hearty congratulations upon the vic
tory that has crowned his courageous
fight.

Bound for the White House.

President ELECT Harrison and his
party started from Indianapolis on
Monday and arrived at Washington
OH Tuesday. They Travelled in great
style. Their train was probably the
handsomest ever seen. 1t was COM
posed of an engine and four cars. The
first car was q combination smoker
and baggage; the next was sleeping
car for the reporters; then came anoth-
er Pullman sleeper for General Har-
risop's friends. The last was the Pres
idential car. 1t is palace on wheels.

and is divided into four compartments
Kitchen, dining-room, sleeping
apartment and parlor. The parlor
is fourteen feet in length, carpeted
with the finest of Wilton. and furnished
with reclining chairs. handsomely

room is finished in oak, and contains
a bed, stationary washstand and

oYydized silver and nickle trimmings.
The dining-room is furnished in
walnut, and the kitchen, which is
thoroughly equipped, is furnished in

are placed in convenient locations.
The car is heated by steam, and the
system of ventilation is absolutely
perfect. The platforms are so ar
ranged as to allow the members OF
the distinguished party to view the
scenery without discomfort. Inside
rich curtains and handsome brass and
nickle trimmings make it appear a
veritable Oriental palace on wheels.
Many hundreds of persons greeted
the Presidential party at the va
rious stations along the line where
the train stopped, and great enthu-
siasm was manifested. Mr.. Harrison
and family have taken quarters at
the Arlington Hotel, where they will
remain until Monday. After the in
auguration ceremonies they will at
once take possession of the White

Tragedy in the Mountains.

Last Thursday morning Oscar Ev-
ans shot and killed Jacob Kirby and
MORALLY wounded A. l.. Hoke about
seven miles south Of Romney, in this
State. Hoke is bark contractor and
Kirby was in his employ. Evans is a
teamster who has been hauling bark
in territory neigh boring to that work
ed by Hoke. 1t seems that about two
weeks ago Hoke horsewhipped Evans.
Thursday Hoke and Kirby We're driv-
ing bark team on a lonely road on
big mountain, and meeting Evans
with his team got into quarrel about
the right of way, as the road was mar
row and difficult. A violent quarrel
ensued and Evans shot Kirby twice
through the body and he fell to the
ground Hoke then clinched and
threw him to the gound He tried to
get Evans pistol away from him and
called TO Kirby to help him. The lat
ter struggled to his feet and, with the
blood streaming from his wounds, I'M
clasped aknlfe and attempted to reach
the combatants, but fell dead before
he could strike a blow. Evans then
disengaged his pistol arm and shot
Hoke through the lungs and legs.
Evans, having thus released himself,
beat Hoke over the head with the pis-
tol and left him for dead. Hoke sub
sequently recovered and crawled into
a fence corner, where he was found
and taken to a neighboring farm
house. He is in q critical condition
and not expected to recover. Evans
gave himself up to Justice M. L. Po-
ling, who placed him in Jail

Knows Where There's a Silver Mine.

Henry Cater, a colored man who
lived in Hardy county, this State, be-
fore the war, is now in Mooretield on
a rather peculiar GRAND, one which
promises to make him, as well as 9th
ers, rich. Fortwo generations ormore
there has been local tradition of the
existence Of a rich silver-bearing ore
in the mountains back of the town,
and just before the outbreak of the
war, John Cater, father of Henry.
went to his master and told him he
knew where the silver to be found,
and if he was set free he would disclose
the place. The master refused and
the slave held on to the secret. When
the war set him free, the elder Cater

died, after telling his son Henry his
secret. Henry has made sevral trips
to the mine for silver but although
people have attempted to follow him.
he has kept the secret safe. He is in
Moorefield now with a number of
silver bricks and other objects, and
has signed papers with the present
owners Of the land, by which he is to
receive twenty-five per cent. of the
proceeds of the mine. A number of
gentlemen, among them s. A. Mo
Meechen and II. s. Carr, have pur-
chased a large tract of land, under
Caters direction, and mining oper-
atoms will begin at once.

The West Virginia GovernorshIp.

The joint committee of the two
houses of the Legislature to investi-
gate and report on the contest be-
tween Fleming and Golf for Cover
nor met Saturday and organized by
electing Delegate w. l.. Kee chair
man. The committee is composed Of
three Democrats and two Republi-
cans. After organization the commit
tee adjourned to meet in Charleston
on April 10 at the call of the chair
man. The time for this investigation
was extended by the Legislature till
May 10, at which time, or soon there
after, it is expected a special session
of the Legislature will be called to act
upon the report. Gov. Wilson and
Gen. Nathan Golf had an intervie W
Friday, and although each strongly
maintained his right to the governor
ship after the 4th of March, yet, in or
der that no conflict may occur and
that the contest may end peaceably,
thus preserving the good name of the
State, they agreed between them
selves to leave for the Supreme Court
to decide who shall occupy the Gov
ernor's chair in the interim between
the 4th of March and such time as the
contest between Golf and Fleming
for Governor shall have been settled.

A Baby Incubator.

Raising babies of premature birth
by the aid of mechanical incubator
is the latest freak in medical science at
the Woman's Hospital, Philadelphia.
For the first time the process was put
to practical test ten days ago, when
Florence Ryall, an eightmonths child,
was wrappedin swaddling clothes and
placed in the incubator. The expert
ment has proven so satisfactory that
hereafter the incubator process will
probably be a fixture in all well-regu-
lated hospitals of the city. The pre-
sent baby initiate is thriving under the
process, and apparently enjoying the
best of health. The baby girl weighed
at the time of her birth about three
pounds, or one-half the weight OF an
average new born child. The incuba-
tor has raised the baby's weight up
to five pounds within ten days. Little
Florence rests in the incubator nearly
all the time except when she is taken
out to receive nourishment orr given
a sponge bath. The former operation
occurs three times day and the latter
twice.
