to the overhanging rocks like swal-
lows nest under the caves.
From the two small windows in the
cabins front the bright glare OF gen.
erous fire within shone forth, and now
and then, as the door opened, broader
pathway of 4Ight streamed out across
the dreary waste Of snow and made
gigantic Jack-o-lantern amid the dense
shadows of the surrounding hills.
On a nearer approach the sound OF
revelry might have been heard within
the cabin-the see-saw Of squeaky fid-
dle-the patting OF hands in rhythmic
accompaniment and the noise OF dane
ing feet mingled with gay voices.
1t was n fitting time for merriment
and .goodly cheer, for Sam Taylor's
pretty daughter, Mollie, was to wed
Gabe Hardesty, one of the tallest, sturd-
lest lads TO be found among the hills.
The most OF the company had already
gathered to witness the happy event,
and only the groom and friend or two
were yet to arrive.
81 low ez Gabe would been hangin'
round afore shutdown Almost" observed
the brides aunt, withered, wiry dame,
who assisted in an inner room where
her niece awaited the belated groom.
"A body hain't been able ter stir
round hyer for tn past month fer
stumblin' over 'im," she added, in her
high-pitched voice, IAN now when he's
wanted he hain't ter be foun'."
'Tm noways skeered but whathell be
on ham when tn weddin' comes on"
said the bride, with o sniff OF affected
Indifference.
''Ef he hain't, ye kin take Milt Spur
lock-" one Of Mollie's young companions
remarked, with meaning laugh. "He's
in t'other room yonder now, tryin' ter
look ez chip an peart ez II he wouldn't

'Thar's some more newcomers" said
her aunt, partly opening the door lead

that OF Link McCord, who was to be
Gabe's best man, while chorus seemed
to be inquiring concerning the tardy
groom.
Links voice suddenly dropped to q
lower key, and some one, near the part
ly opened door, called out warningly to
Mollie's aunt: "Shet tn door! don't let
her hear"
The brides attentive ears, however,
had caught these words, and before
her aunt could obey them she had
pushed her aside and entered the larger
room.
At her coming sudden hush fell
upon the garrulous company-the dane
ers stood in little groups upon the floor
and even the fiddler stopped with q
walling cry Of his instrument
whats tn matter?" cried Mollie,
looking anxiously from one to another.
"Where's Gabe?"
Instinctively the crowd fell back and
made way for her as she crossed over to
where Link McCord stood, silent and

HE COULD NOT TELL A LIE.

COULD NOT TELL A LIE.
II was the solemn poet man.
Full haggard and forlorn,
That came unto the editor
One summer sunny morn,
and placed within his jeweled hand,
That erstwhile In mood
or loving kindness written had,
or foeman something good,
Some manuscript, and seating then
Himself In cushioned chair.
Spoke boldly ont, first smoothing down
His tangled locks OF hair.
al know full we'll" the poet said.
THAT Oftentimes II Is
The painful duty OF your craft
To run their little sciss-
a0rs through the thoughts Of other men
Which may not be expressed
Within your columns-as, perchancs,
An antiQunted jest,
Or verses on an oil-lamp death
All these, know. must fall,
Beneath the awful ban that spreads
Adore them like o pail.
." But have here little thing,
Quite touching In its way,
That tells Of rippling waters
And the smell OF new mown hay;
The bashful maiden's witching smile;
The lowing OF the kline:
The meadows. spangled o or with flowers,
The sunset most divine
Are pictured by the use
or softly sounding words.
And over all there comes the sweet,
Low twittering Of the birds"
Twas then up spoke the editor:
"Your scheme is good, he said;
-" On the ripping water racket
You are really quite ahead.
But the spangled meadow business
And the blushing country maid
Have long since copywrited been,
And, therefore. I'm afraid
That your story will not answer;
But II you could only make
The maiden sweep the parlor,
II would simply take the cake"
The poet man was much Gowncast,
The luster left his eye:
He rose to 60, and sadly said:
az can not tell lie."

Chinese Clans.

The London Times says that Capt.
Lang made great progress for one
or two years in re-organizing the
Chinese navy. The men proved ex-
cellent seamen. But the difficulty
was with the officers, whose native
self conceit turned their heads and
made them careless of duty. They
sought to introduce the clan system
into the navy, a policy destructive
of all discipline. The Foochow men
sought not only to monopolize all
the amendments, but to make the
Admiral or the commanding officer
subservient to the demands of the
secret organization, bound together
by such Obligations that no member
dares to oppose the decisions of the
officials of the brotherhood. This II
is that swamps every enterprise
undertaken by Chinese. This is the
fate which is not looked upon as 6
service for the safety of the empire,
but as a mich COW for the benefit o.
the members of a certain clan.

LEPR0SY In TRINIDAD.

A recent article in the London
Lancet gives a summary of the an
nual report of the Trinidad Leper
Asylum. DR.. Rakes speaks of the
difficulty of controlling the immoral
and criminal class of lepers, without
converting the asylum into prison.
The rate of mortality was the same
for 1889 as for 1888, IA per cent.
Out of the Is deaths, only one was
directly due to the leprous disease.
He is not prepared to admit that
leprosy is contagious In the ordinary
sense Of the word, but considers
segregation necessary as lessening
the number of infected foci. One
third of the cases are coolies from
India, who may have taken the in
lection in India. He has made varl-
Gus experiments at lnnoculatlon
without success. Chaulsnoogra oil
has been efficacious in alternating
the disease and acolin valuable
antiseptic. He has treated perforat-
ing ulcer by free incision right
through the foot Bacilli are rarely
found in the kidneys, and the lessen
ing of these organs is attributed te
mal-nutrition of the skin, more
chronic in anesthetic than in tuber
cular cases. The diagnoses between
congenital syphilis and early leprosl
is difficult. Red iodide of mercur!
ointment in tubercular cases is dis
cussed.

Swallowed tie RaIt.

Yesterdays Intelligencer afforded fine
illustration of the abnormal tendency Of
that vorscious Journal to swallow whole
any bait thrust at it. 1t also showed that
it will resort to any Misrepresentation
necessary to hOOdwiDk the puolic.
In its account Of the meeting Of the
Trades Assembly, the InteHigencer made
the statement that the gentlemen present
extensively discussed the creek bridge
question, and came to the unanimous eon-
clusiOn that steel bridge was the proper
thing TO put mp.
OF course this is untrue; some
one, knowing the Htelligeneer's failing,
took its measure and then proceeded to
fill it up, or the facts were deliberately
manipulated, in the Effort to make friends
for cause greatly in need of them.
What really happened at the meeting
was this: Time hung heavy on the heads
of the gentlemen present, most OF whom ia
vored stone bridge, and one of them start
ed a bridge discussion, to have some fuu at
the txpsnse of member OF Council. 9th

nature. Bat the joke was carried too far

Fire at the Belmont
A man cut into small fragments.


That was the spectacle to which the at
tention of several Belmont mill men was
called, about six O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, by small boy.
An examination showed that the unfor-
tuuste man had been struck by Balti-
more and Ohio engine, probably No. 81,
about hslf-pust five, and his body dragged
over the ties and rails for about one hun
dred yards. The track was slippery with
blood, and bones, and bits of flesh, ana
entrails were distributed over the entire
distance, while thee lotbiDg was cut in
shreds.
A, first no one could recognise ths sick
epiug mass, but after careful examine
ton, the remains were identified by din
ner pail and the clothing rs those of Bene-
dict Neumau, of No. 1888 Ctspliue street.
Coroner Schulize was notified, and after
tie usual enquiry, which ELECTED the facts
here given, a verdict of accidental death
was returned.
Mr.. Neumsn was 70 years Of age, and
has been in the employ OF the Belmont
Mill Company for about thirty years He
was night waichman for many years, but
as he was growing OLD, he was lately
given the position of day Waterman. He
left his home about half-past five in the
morning, and is supposrd to have taken
the railroad track at Ford's crossing and
walked along it until struck by the en-
CINE.

A Terrible Accident.

Richard Bickersou, an employe of the
Baird Bros, bridge contractors on the
Union bridge work al Martins Ferry,
met with terrible accident about 10
o'clock yesterday morning.
Bickerson was working under the bridge
where it crosses the O. & P. track ct the
time. and one of the workman above let q
ouarter inch bolt about eighty inches long,
weighing eight or ten pounds fall. The
distance was about forty feet and the bolt
struck him glsncipg lick on the top OF
the head, crushing it like an egg shell.
BickeIson did not realize that he was so
badly hurt and started to walk to DR..
ShuttlewOrth's Office, assisted by fellow
employe, and almost reached there when
be was overcome by the pressure OF the
crushed skull on the brain. He was cared
for and as soon as possible brought over
to the Wheeling Hospital, where, in the
afternoon, Dr. Shuttleworth, assisted by
several physicians from this city, per-
formed an operation on the wounded man.
1t wss found that a hole about an inch
and half in diameter, had been made,
and the physicians took out about d Z N
pieces OF the skull, ard u part of the brain
had also oczed o1t. The unfortunate man
Was in convictions and his suffsrings were
terrible. The ply sicisns did all that hu-
man skill could do TO ease the pain, and
the awful wound was dressed. AT mid
night last night BickeIson was resting
easily, ard the physicians bad hopes OF his
recovery BickersOu came from Parker6-
burg.

A Very Important Meeting of the Dire c.
tore, Yesterday.
The Board Of Directors of the State Fair
Association met OF the Court House, yes
terday morning, President Reymann and
Messrs Reilly, Rolf, Hamilton, Bieber'OD,
Scott and Hook being in attendance.
There was general discussion of the
coming Fair, and determination was
evidenced to make it decidedly better in its
various departn ents, than any preceding
event in that line As one OF the means
of bringing about this result, it was deter
mined to thoroughly revise the premium
list, and advance the total OF premiums
offered TO exhibitors TO en- even ten thou
sand dollars, to be hereafter sppOriioned
among the various departments as may
seen. best. Another essential-that Of
affordirg better accommodations both
for the public and exhibitors-was
also considered, and t was agreed that tx
tepsive improvements and changes should
be made. One OF these will be the addi-
ton of one hundred feet to the length Of
the grand stand. The addition will be at
the north end of the stand, and will make
the structure three hundred and twenty
five feet long, with capacity for the accom-
mediation OF five thousand people. o. big
racing days, when this great stand is full,
it will bs sigh. alone worth going to the
grounds 10 eee The new addition TO the
stand will be arched over, to accommodate
the road Leading to the pool boxes and
stables, and the entire building will be
given two coats of fresh paint, making it
very attractive. This addition to the
grand stand will make necessary the re-
moval of the Judges stand about fifty feet
10 the north, in order to bring it opposite
the centre of the stand. AS the Judges
stand is rather rickety, aud, to revere
familiar saying, hes been more useful thsn
ornamental, il will probably be cast aside
and new and better structure erected.
Machinery Hall is another building
which is to be enlarged aud improved, and
that structure, together with ali the other
buildings Oh the grounds, is TO be thor.
oughly painted and repaired.
Among the new attractions secured for
the coming Fair, is balloon race, and an
other novelty will be drop from bal
loon, Suspended at q height OF 900 feet,
the SC -onaut descending by means of
parachute. The mid air feature has been
fixed for the third day Of tie Fair

II Was generally understood that the

we're 10 have another joint meeting last
evening, bat for some reason it failed to
materialize. Ie ia understood that sub
committee of the Exchange conference CON-
miitee and committee from the stone
masons' union met yesterday afternoon and
talked over the matter, but the outcome
of the meeting was not made public. 1t
is probable that when the COMMITTEES
have reported TO their main bodies, an
other meeting Of the conference commit
tees will bs held.
In mentioning the improvements that
have been stopped by the strike, in yes
terdsy mornings issne, that on the BUSH
uess house Of George K Taylor, for which
Mr.. Stephen Mccullough was the con-
tractor, was omitted.
