JUDGING from the statements in his
paper, that he was not a candidate, it is
evident that somebody has attempted to
play joke on Col. Poorman. Somebody
secured his endorsement at a primary in
Short Creek township; somebody. over
the signature of Col. Poorman wrote let
tiers to parties asking them to interest
themselves in his behalf; somebody had
printed tickets with his name upon them
voted at the Senatorial conventions; some
body told somebody that the nomination
was sure to fall to him after the other
fellows had eaten each other up. The
fellow who dared to do all this against the
wishes of Col. Poorman deserves to be
sent to the place where patience ceases
to be virtue"

JAMES SHANNON ARCHER died at his
residence in Bellaire on last Wednesday
evening after long illness. About six
months ago he was member of the Bell
aire police force and went to Marietta on
official business. While on his way home
on the Ohio River Railroad, and while
doing in his seat, the brakeman called
"Glenwood" Half awake he understood
it to be Benwood and got off the train
which pulled out before he discovered his
mistake. Being several miles from home
and knowing that his family would be
waiting ON him he started to walk to his
home, although the night was very dark
and much of the road was on high trestles.
At some distance below Benwood he
tripped upon spike in the center of a
trestle and fell to the ground, distance
of about twenty feet, sustaining spinal
injuries which rendered him entirely help
less. Not an hour since that time but
was full of pain, and all that loving
friends could do, afforded only temporary
relief. He was "a years of age, member
of the Christian church, and leaves wife
and three children His funeral took
place on Sunday under the auspices of the
Knights of Pythias, Firemen and \. F.
G. W. T., and it was the most largely at
tended of any funeral in that city of re-
cent years, there being fully Thousand
people at the cemetery. Deceased was
brother of Frank Archer the Republican
for Treasurer.

On Saturday when Mrs August Hos
enfeldt was scrubbing out water closet
in Martins Ferry, she noticed bundle OF
some kind down in the vault Thinking
such an occurrance strange she procured
pole and moved it, and was Mortified to
find that it was child. Her husband
when apprised of the fact notified Mar
shal Burns who sent for Coroner Boyd of
Bellaire. The child was fished out and
was found to be boy fully developed.
Drs. Williams and Hervey were called,
and made pOst-mOrtem examination
but could not tell whether the child had
been living or not. The COroner's YER
dict was cause of death unknown but
supposed to be by strangulatiOn in the
vault. Two families, the HOsenfeldt's and
Newman's, use the water closet, and
doubtless some one well acquainted with
the premises took this method to hide her
shame and thought that if found it would
be blamed on some one of the families
using the closet.

LAST week man calling himself Harry
Lacy, and representing himself to be the
advance agent of Forepaugh's show which
he said would exhibit in Wheeling on
Oct 7th and Sth, worked business men of
that place for considerable sum of
money. He proceeded to let contracts
and privileges, always collecting money
where it was possible. His methods were
so ounbusiness.4ik that the Register people
became suspicious and sent telegram to
Adam Forepaugh inquiring if the man
was straight and received reply that he
was a thief and to arrest him which was
accordingly done. About Sl25, obtained
under false pretenses, was footed up
against him, and he was sent to jail under
