= A.strange case of mistaken identity
is reported from Wisconsin. Some four
months ago Mr.. w. NJ. Rollins, of Bel.
! mont, went to Sparta on business. As
soon as be stepped from the train he
was arrested for murder. He protested,
but in vain. He asked for continuance
but it mas refused. He Was forced to
trial at once. Several witnesses identified
him as the murderer. Others positively
swore that they saw him commit the
crime. Rollins took the stand and stated
that he lived in Belmont, and was not
the man, and had never been in Sparta
before. The evidence against him was so
overwhelming that be was found guilty of
manalaughter and sent to the penitentia.
~. The friends OF Rollins at Belmont
went to work. They convinced the Gov
ernor that on the night Of the murder in
Sparta Rollins attended q ball in Bel.
mont where he was seen by one hundred
persons. This was strong enough, but
about this time the real murderer was ar.
rested, aud made confession. The in
nocent prisoner was then released. The
queer part of the business is that the
murderer and Rollins look exactly alike.
They are crippled the same way in their
left hands, aud in every respect resemble
each other.
Thirty men armed with poles formed
gauntlet at Anderson, Ind, Monday
night, and compelled eight tramps to run
between the lines and take the blows they
laid on. "The tramps were numerically
whipped" says the dispatch, "the blood
trickling from many Of them by the time
they reached the end of the gauntlet"
Their offense was an insulting manner to
women. It is added that Citizens gener.
ally approve the course taken." This is
surely case for an investigating commit
tee of the Senate, with Mr.. Hoar at its
head. What could be more barbarous
than this treatment to lot of men out of
work, whose only wrong doing was that
their "manner" was disagreeable? Had
the incident occurred in Southern State
there would have been great outcry
over it.
= In Chicago the other night, q po.
liceman caught little old man in the
act of burglarizing store. When ar
raigned before police Judge the prisoner
admitted his guilt, but said that he was
compelled to have some money. He had
once been rich man, but had been re.
duced to poverty by ths expenses incur
red in the pursuit of a runaway wife who
left him six years ago. This explanation,
as matter of course, was entirely salts.

The B. & 0. and The Inauguration.

Between midnight March Sd and
noon March 4th the B. & o. r. r..
carried into Washington sixty -thOus-
and excursion passengers, IN addi-
ton to its regular local and through
travel. From three o'clock afternoon
of the 18th until midnight of the 5th,
an equal Number was carried from
Washington. Allowing an average
of so passengers to the car, including
Sleeping and Parlor Cars, it required
1900 Cars to accommodate the multi
tudes. Adding to this the necessary
number of Baggage Cars to take care
of the baggage of passengers and the
supplies and paraphernalia of mill
tary companies, bands and marching
clubs, it WILL be seen that the B. &
o. hauled a train of 8 cars into Wash
ington every fifteen minutes from
midnight March Sd, until noon March
4th, and out Of Washington every
fifteen minutes from 3 p. NJ. of the
4th until midnight of the 5th.
In handling this immense volume
of business, in so short time. not a
single accident occurred and not a
passenger was injured not a car was
derailed and not an engine failed to
perform its allotted task. During all
this time there was an incessant fall
of rain and all out door work was in
vested with very depressing condi-
tons.
The satisfactory manner in which
this great movement was conducted
reflects the highest credit upon the
operating department of the B. & O.
Company and indicates the prompt
ness and intelligence with which each
member of the entire rank and file of
the force performed his assigned
share of the labor involved.

from the county is mere matter of
time. We have noticed certain row
of plum, sour and sweet cherry trees
that a few years ago the black knot
was confined to a few plum trees but
now not single sour cherry tree and
all the sweet cherries are affected
and doomed. The disease has been
closely studied and it is now fully
conceded that it is due to a fungus
plant, microscopic growth which is
very contagious. That even from a
dead limb the germ can be transmit
ted and from the least focus wide
spread infection follows. The remedy
is, cut and burn. 1t is a christian
duty which we owe to our fellow
farmers and fruit growers that we
explain the nature and result of its
presence, and do all we can to assist
in its removal. The fruit interests
of Garrett county are important, and
within few years can be made a
great source of income and pleasure
We ask the farmers of Garrett to en-
list In the war of determination, and
when Col. Alvord comes amongst us
let US show him that black knot is

A Southern Altoona.

A Washington dispatch says that
Stephen B. Elkins has made all his
arrangements to leave New York
city and take up permanent resi-
dence at Elkins. w. Va. 1t is the
intention of Mr.. EIkins and the other
gentlemen connected with the Davis
road to make Elkins the Altoona of
West Virginia.
All the shops connected with the
railroad are to be located there, and
Mr.. Elkins himself will build mag.
ni6cent residence. He intends to
throw himself into the ranks of the
Republican party, and with his
wealth and influence, in connection
with Gen. Golf, organize it and
eventually come to the Senate from
that State. The road with which he
is now connected already runs into
the centre of West Virginia, and is
projected to not only extend to strike
the Chesapeake and Ohio, in the
southern part of the State. but by
another branch to reach Pittsburg.
He will begin building at once.

1t seems that President Harrison
has permitted Watts, the West Vir-
ginia District Attorney, to 60 on with
several of his alleged illegal voting
cases. with the result, however. of a
complete collapse. as is shown by the
following dispatch from Wheeling /;
In the United States Court, Mon.
day, District Attorney Watts re-
ferred to the comments of the press
on the acquittai of alleged illegal
voters. and said, since he was accused
of selecting strong cases first to secure
the moral effect of conviction on SUBJ
sequent trials, he would now do so.
He called the case of Aaron Hixen-
paugh, of Littleton. The evidence
occupied three hours. and no argu.
ment was made. The jury-nine
Democrats and three Republicans
was out four minutes and came in
with verdict of not guilty. Judge
Jackson told Hixenpaugh that he
was guilty and might thank his stars
that lenient jury had acquitted him.
The jury did not like this very we'll.
General Watts is pretty sore over the
outcome of his avowed strongest case.
