ALBERT WRISCON, living near Bridge
port, passed into the unknown beyond on
Saturday, by his own hand, the means
employed being a 3S-calibre revolver.
| Wriscon was the son of coal miner, who
lived on the Cadiz pike, and pursued the
same trade as his father. Some time ago
he began paying attentions to Amanda
Morris young lady of Bridgeport and
his suit was looked upon with favor by her
| and her parents. But the young mans
family were averse to the proposed union.
Young Wriscon not being of age quietly
| waited and deposited his wages in bank
with his father as trustee. He attain
ed his majority on February 8, and last
Saturday week ago, he took the girl to
Steubenville and they were married, and
returning stopped at the home of the
bride. Afterwards he called on his father
and demanded his money which was re-
fused. He went to his fathers house
again on Friday night, remarking to his
wife, as he started, that, unless he secured
the money, he would kill his father or
himself. Nothing was heard of him until
Saturday noon when his body was found
near the home of his father. In his hand
was the revolver, with which the deed
was performed, and in his temple CHASTITY
wound.
His bride of week, when informed of
cfr- oI
Being left alone for while she secured
some laudanum and drank it with
presumably suicidal intent but a ply
sician being called administered the
proper remedies and by hard work her
life was saved. The young man was 2l
years of age and good looking, while the
bride was one year his junior. The father
of the dead man denies that he refused
him the money but that his object was
only to keep him out of bad company.
J. B. HOGE of this place, has purchasd
the right to sell in Belmont county the
Boss Fence Machine, manufactured at
Goshen Ind, with weaver and tension all
complete, which is acknowledged by the
farmers the best fence building machine
on the market. 1t is simple in construe-
ton, and does its work better than any
other, and the fence does not swag 1t
will weave old boards, Stats, split or sawed
pickets of all widths, without changing the
machine. 1t needs no extra twists as do
other machines to increase the distance
between the pickets. The wires can be
stretched the full length of fence desired
before commencing to weave. Fence
made by this machine costs but SOC per
rod. Farmers and land owners should
call at J. B. HOge's st. Clairsville, and
elsewhere. Price reduced from S16 to
$12. Township agents wanted, to whom
liberal inducements are offered.

Town and County.

JAMES WILLIAMS, shady character OF
Wheeling, was arrested on last Thursday
for Turing young women and girls into
houses of prostitution, and when near
the jail in company with the officer, VIII
liams quietly drew a knife and, before
the officer was aware of his intention, he
drew it across his own throat, severing
the wind-pipe, and cutting cash from
ear to ear. He was rendered medical aid
but his recovery was pronounced doubt
full. Williams had, or Wednesday, been
seen in company with an attractive
looking young women whom he had
met by chance on the street, and had
taken her to house of i'll fame and tried
to induce her to enter, but failed. His
case was investigated, and he was found
to be in the business of enticing girls to
their ruin, and had contract to supply
girls to house in that city. Nothing
is known of his previous history, but it
is thought that he believed the police
were aware of his record, and that it was
a bad one. Williams is partly colored
A partner named Dickey was also pulled
in by the police. The gallows is too easy
a punishment for such infamous and
hellish work.

THE Ladies' Aid Society of the Presby-
terian church, at their Experience Meet
ing on Friday evening, was greeted by a
fair sized audience which would undoubt-
edly have been larger had the extremely
disagreeable condition of the weather not
prevailed. Mrs. DIR. r. J. Alexander pre-
sided and Mrs. Samuel Campbell occupied
the position of Secretary. The exper-
fences were varied, and were pleasingly
related. Space prevents giving personally
and in detail the experiences of the ladies'
but few general illusions will suffice.
The methods employed embraced sell
ing fancy work, shoyeling snow, taking
care of babies, washing dishes, selling
taffy, carrying out ashes, keeping rooms
in order, keeping hands off study table,
getting up when called, selling gum boots,
selling baby dolls, selling chickens and
beans, kissing, saving pennies, learning
the catechism, staying away from home
and other ways. One lady made part of
her money by relating to company how a
widower proposed to her and another
made part by locking mp the chickens one
night when the Sheriff had her husband
locked up-in the jury room.
Eight little girls, members of Miss
Clara Alexander's Sunday school class.
sang their experience in a parody on
Listen to my Tale of Woe" and in turn
related each individual plan of earning a
dollar. The song as sung was composed
by their teacher and was the most pleas
ing performance of the evening. The
exercises were frequently enlivened by
music of an interesting character. No
one gave less than one dollar and the
amounts given were graduated from that
sum to eight dollars. The highest being
given by the President About $3.50 were
realized as the proceeds of the entertain
ment which is considered as very salts
factory and highly creditable result. The
exercises closed with report of the
treasurer which shows that during the
Aid Societv's three years existence over
$1,000 has been raised and used in aiding
to adorn and beautify the church and
grounds. The work of the ladies in assist
ing in the recovery from the effects of the
cyclone has been of material benefit and
of decidedly commendable character
and stands as a testimonial to their en-
ergy and push.

THE Republicans of Bridgeport this
year, very wisely concluded to abandon
the old custom of "free for ALL contest
for the municipal offices in that place,
and on Saturday placed the following ex-
cellent ticket in the field: Mayor, Charles
A. Junkins; Marshal, John w. Stuff;
Treasurer, William F. Eberle; Clerk, John
w. Fowler; Street Commissioner, J. Orie
Duncan: Councilmen, Charles H. Kauf-
man, James L. Higgins, Eli w. Gilmore.
Bridgeport has pronounced Republican
majority and there is no reason why every
man on this ticket should not be elected.
The only hope the Democrats have, is in
independent candidates and some of the
sleek ones of that party are encouraging
independent Republicans" to make the
race, with the knowledge that such a
course will inure only to the benefit of the
Democratic ticket. 1t is hoped that no
Republican will be caught by any such
chaff, but that every Republican will give
the ticket cordial support. Bridgeport
should have Republican government.
