DEATH OF A CHILD.BRIDE.
Mrs. Scrimger nee COurtwright Dies
of Fever.

Mrs. Scrimger nee Courtwright Dies
Of Fever.
The romantic marriage of Miss
Oma Courtwright to young VIM.
Scrimger last fair-time is still fresh
in the minds of the public. The fif-
teen-year-old step-daughter of
Judge Friesner. She came to the
city on the morning in question
with that gentleman, joined her
lover by Encouragement, and ac-
companied him to Covington, KY,
where the union was consummated
The roseate hue of romance and
hope that enhallowed this bit of a
young girps history has faded. Mrs.
Scrimger fell victim yesterday Of
typhoid fever, from which she was
thought to be recovering. She had
been ill for three weeks. The fever
left her on Saturday night and she
was improving, when, at two o'clock
she became suddenly worse and
sank rapidly until eleven O'clock,
when she died. Her mother, sad to
relate, was at the time confined to
her bed at the Courtwright resi-
dence, west of the city, where she
lay i'll with quinsy.
The union, though effected under
circumstances which are supposed
to insure misery, is said to have
proven a most happy one. The
best medical aid was secured, and
every effort put forth to save the
child-wife, but to no avail.
She died at their rooms in the
Portland block, on North High
street.-COlumbus Post. NOv. 24.

THE rumors of a proposed Indian
outbreak appear to have some little
foundation. SO long as the United
States follows the practice of feed
ing and arming them and furnish
ing them ammunition, we may eX-
pect their natural devilishness to
break out. Stop the rations and
take away their guns. If they are
compelled to work for living they
won't have so much time for ghost
dances.

the negroes of Bessemer, Ala, have

Senator Buffers bill. The meetings
have been largely attended by the
best and most intelligent men of the
colored people of the town. Yester-
day they gave to the press the follow
ing address, which will also be for
warded to the senate and house of rep
resentatives at Washington: 1--WE the
negroes, have been holding meetings
favoring the separation of the races
and immigration of the colored peo
pie to the Congo free state in Africa,
and we hope that Senator Buffers bill
will pass congress. We want to go
back to our country where we belong.
We know that it will be better for the
colored people, and we hope it will
benefit the white people. We are a
great political trouble here, and we
are sorry, but cannot help it. Time
has brought this on us. Let knowl-
edge now have her way and knowl-
edge Gays go and we will go, if the
government will pass the bill"

West Virginia LawIessness.

WHEELING, w. Va, Feb. 16.-The
White Cap spirit seems to be COM
ing to the front again in certain
parts of this state. At RockpOrt,
Wood county, Charles Smith and
his wife were both taken from their
home and numerically beaten on
the back with hickory switches aud
compelled to leave the county and
the State. The family passed
through Parkersburg yesterday and
told the horrible story of their sut-
ferlng and treatment. The wife
says that after whipping her hus'
band, the mob caught her while
she was trying to escape from the
house with their children, aud tied
her to a tree. She was then beaten
until the blood came. Mrs. Smith
says the whole cause for tue out
rage was der resistance of the I'M
proper solicitation of a citizen OF
her neigbborhoOd.
At Clay, G. H., woman was al
so driven away by mob who visit
ed her house, firing guns and re-
volvers, and tied note of warning
to her door.

In the Virginia House of Dele

that "the people of Virginia want

OUR ROADS.

Below We give an article from
the Petersburg, Mder.Appeal. 1t
is of great interest to every person
in Shenandoah County, and shows
how much other sections of Vlr-
GINA are becoming aroused TO the
necessity Of good roads:
"Some tine ago We called atten-
ton to the fact that Virginia has
the best public highway in the
the country, viz: the old Winches-
ter turnpike, macadamized
throughout its entire length and
solid as a rock. We pointed out
the economy manifest in construct
ing such county roads and urged
the Importance of maintaining
them on all county authorities
The commissioners of Augusta
county, at least, have become con-
wheel of the wisdom of such q
policy, for they have asked per
mission of the county cOnrt 20 pur-
chase mounted rock crusher, to
be paid for out Of the county funds
and to be used By the different dis
tricts in turn" The commissioner
say:
When the county roads have
been well ditched and rounded aud
the rocky lodges dressed with clay
and made smooth at the proper
season, there will still be places
on nearly every road in the county
which Will become deep or rough
and almost impossible IN winter
when farmers are most engaged in
shipping their produce to market.
We have found by experience that
the only plan by which they can
be permanently repaired and i'm.
proved is macadamizlng. To do
this with sledges and hammers IN
the old way Is too slow and costly.
1t could De done faster, better and
cheaper with a crusher. It would
not be economical for each farmer
to Ony steam thrdsher for his
own use exclusively, for it would
stand idle too long, and for the
same reason a single road district
could not afford to purchase a
crusher. If the county owned one
and would allow the different road
districts to use it IN rotation for a
month or more each year, it would
not be so long until all the rough
roads were made smooth and tie
soft ones made solid.
OF course the desired permission
will be granted. Now, why can
not every county IN the state imi-
tate the example set by Augusta?
