The Monument to General Grant
The Weekly Mail and Express.
YOU CAN SUBSCRIBE TO BOTH AT ONCE.
How Is Ths2 You Ask. We Will Explain.

The Weekly Mail and Express has agreed with
the Grant Monument Association that the entire
revenue of the paper from yearly subscriptions OF
two dollars each will be turned over to the Fund
for the erection of a National Monument to Gener-
al Ulysses 5. Grant at Riverside Park, New York
City. In other words, if you send Two Dollars to
the Weekly Mail and Express you will receive the
paper for a year and your money will be paid over
to the Grant Monument Fund You will thus re-
ceive full equivalent for your money in first
class weekly newspaper and at the same time you
will be helping to forward noble and worthy
cause. The Weekly Express and Mail has further
evidenced its earneStneSS and sincerity in this
work by subscribing TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
to the Monument Fund.
The following letters are selfexplanatory:

young man who seeks to recover $3.50
from John Shepherd on the wool trans

mains still in the hands of George Shep-

ments that he asked S. for money or

are untrue. Mr.. Wilson is entitled to have

THE tax inquisitOr was at work in
Harrison county and among other prop
erty he placed $4,000 on the duplicate
against the J. NJ. Estep estate. The
auditor attempted to collect taxes on
this amount for five years but was re-
strained by the Probate Court. Judge
Hance sustained the injunction except in
the year 1888 but said some things not
complimentary to the commissioners and
inquisitor. Only those, who have been
acting dishonesty and get caught, kick
against the law.

SI-ICIDE.

Samuel Morgan, who resided with the
family of r. V. Wiley, his brother-in-law,
in Smith township, IL miles southeast of
Centerville, suicided on Sunday, hanging
himself in the COW stable by means of
bed cord. Morgan was a great sufferer
from rheumatism, and owing to this, at
times seemed demented. He talked of
suicide, and about three weeks ago made
an attempt to hang himself in the barn,
but was discovered and cut down. Since
then he was closely watched, but on Sun
day morning, after Mr.. Wiley's family
had gone to church, while Mrs. Wiley.
who was left alone with him, was tempo
rarily engaged in household duties, he es-
capped from the house TO the cow stable.
When Mrs W. missed him, she at once
began a search, and found him suspend
ed and life almost extinct. She cut the
rope as hastily as possible, buta few min
utes afterward he breathed his last. He
was bachelor and was aged about 13
years. His funeral took place on Tues
day. Interment at Concord Church.

The Convention Mt Cleveland Yesterday.
Important Propositions Tabled.
CLEVELAND, O., March 4.-The OPEN
ing Of the National League meeting was
called to order in the Weddell House at
1880 o'clock this afternoon. Reports OF
committees were first called for, after
which the following motion was unani-
mously adopted:
."That the 10 percentum Of gate re-.
ceipts mentioned in section 60 OF the
League constitution, be construed and
understood to mean 20 cents per capita,
turnstile count, except in case Of Phila.
delphia, where 10 cents per capita, turn
stile count, shall be paid"
The next business in order was the
presenting Of communications. Presi-
dent Nick Young read letter containing
an offer OF 81 100000 for the franchises
and clubs Of the National League and
asked what the meeting wished to do
with it. This was tabled without dis
cussion. Then communication from
+. H. Brunnell, Secretary OF the Brother
hood was read. It referred to the
arrangement of Players League dates
and contained a request that the League
repeal the resolution to boycott all clubs
playing against the Brotherhood. The
communication was tabled without dis.
cussion.
It is rumored in the corridors Of the
Weddell House tonight that Washing.
ton is to sell out to Detroit, but all
League men who have been approached
say there is absolutely no foundation for
such story.

A STRANGE CASE.

a Man Buried but Dug Up by Medical
Students md Revived.
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, March 3.-The local
press is puzzled oyer the case Of John J.
O'Connor, which is certainly most re.
markable one. It was claimed that he
had died, and that his body was taken
to the morgue, where it was identified
by his wife, who had him buried in Cal.
vary cemetery. A few days later it was
claimed that O'Connor was alive, that
his wife had been mistaken, and that the
man who was taken to the grave WAS not
her husband, 1t now transpires that
there is every reason to believe that
OConuor was not buried by proxy, but
IN his own proper person some time be.
tween the night Of Monday, February 10,
and the afternoon OF Wednesday. O'Cou.
nor was seen Saturday night, and stated
most emphatically that the grave in the
cemetery is empty, and he exhibited a
cut which had been made half way across
the abdomen. He is OF the opinion that
he was really buried, and that his body
was taken up aud conveyed to dissect-
ing room while in a state OF suspended
animation, and that when the first in.
cision was made it caused n flow OF blood
which restored him to consciousness.
He stated that he went to lodging
house on Monday evening, and that he
knew nothing more until Wednesday
night, when he found himself seated on
the Court House steps in dazed condi-
toin, weak and sick.

WEST ylRGlNIANS AT WASHINGTON.

A Indy Clerk Promoted-Congressma
Smith, on the Hustle.
Sptcid! Dispdtch to the fntelifGenctr. l.-
WASHINGTON, D. G., March 4.-Miss
Joanna A. Carey, Of West Virginia, has
been promoted from $1,000 to a 1900
clerkship in the Interior Department.
Congressman Smith has secured an ap.
pointment in the Government Printing
Office for James Oldield at St. Mary's,
Pleasant county, as compositor. :
Congressman Smith was at the Treas
ury Department with petition signed
by prominent citizens Of Parkersburg
asking for the remission Of a fine i'm.
posed on Fl. L. Richie and W. Hayman,
owners OF the steamer Harriet 3. knoa.
It seems that on the Fourth OF July the
Knoa was engaged in transporting ex-
cursion parties between Parkersburg and
Blannerhasset's Island when the boat
made landing at Parkersburg. There
was an immense crowd on the wharf
which thronged the vessel, filling up all
the available space on board and could
not be controlled by the boatmen. To
avoid getting too large crowd aboard,
the steamer was swung out into the
stream and conveyed these on board to
their destination. Subsequently some
one reported the owners Of tho knoa to
the Treasury Department for transport.
ing greater number Of passengers than
allowed by law, and the owners were
fined sl50, including costs. Mr.. Smith
is endeavoring to have the fine removed.
The department has the case under con-
eideration.

covcry by tho officials. l

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 4.-Willian
II. Pope, teller Of the Louisville Cit,
National Bank, atrusted cmploye, a man
OF seeming good habits aud n frequenter
OF the best social circles Of this city, Ia
gone. His absence at tho bank yester.
day morning at first excited no sus-
plcion, as 1t was supposed he was at bis
sick sisters bedside, or in the country,
detained by the flood. When no word
was received at 1880 President James
s. Pietro, Vice President James Leech
and Cashier w. s. Parker became sus.
piclous. They opened the vault and a
hasty examination showed that some.
where between SAC, 900 and 100000 was
Ronc. The missing money was all In
large bills. The bulk in gold aud silver
coin and small bills were left intact. It
VIII require a careful examination to
state the entire amount that Pope took
with him. At the first his friends would
not believe that Pope had gone wrong.
Shakings Of the head OF the bank otiici.
ais soon left no doubt about tho matter.
Detectives and friends began to search,
thinking possibly he was still in the city.
He could not be found and soon the re-
porters discovered the bank robbery. As
usual, they furnished the detectives the
tirst clue and furnished the information
that he had gone to Chicago Saturday
night. 1t is thought he left Saturday
afternoon on the grand trunk for De-
trolt and Windsor, which he could have
reached in safety by 10 o'clock Sunday
night.
