| n hasoHIc LouSe Oh instruction by
Allan Mcdowell will be held in Ironton on
Tuesday, May 18th.
Tally one for Harrison sweeney, Esq
He is the first to announce himself a candi-
date for an Iron county Office in 1890. Mr..
Sweeney puts himself in the hands of his
friends for the office of sheriff, and promis-
es to faithfully conduct its affairs in case he
shall be chosen. We do not suppose there
is man, woman or child in the county who
does not know Harrison, and therefore We
believe that for Us to point out his merits
to them would be like unto an attempt to
paint the lily or gid refined gold. Gentle
men of the Democratic party, Mr.. Sweeney
is before you, and asks your most favorable
construction.
The attendance upon court this term is
unusually large, and The bar of the South
east Is we'll represented, and a number Of
eminent lawyers from St Louis are here.
| The Judge came down at noon, and imme-
! diatey. empaneled and instructed the grand
jury and mustered the petit jury, and pro-
| ceeded with the work on hand. The Cham
bers case was continued until the 10th of
June, and Turner's trial set for the 3d. In
| the case of Warren ". Warren, the plaintiff
was granted a divorce. Motions to quash
| indictments in cases of State. ". Jno. MEGA
| han, Henry Seitz and Theo. Rudy, for vol-
at1ng the liquor laws, Were overTuled, aud
they will probably go to trial this term. The
Court seems determined to clear the docket
as nearly as is practicable. The results Of
the weeks proceedings will be given in full
in the next issue of this paper.
One of the prettiest weddings of the season |
occurred yesterday (Tuesday) morning at
the residence of Mrs. Buckley, on Knob |
Street, where her daughter Addie was unit
ed to Mr.. Ferdinand Schmitz, Of De Soto.
During the ceremony, which was performed
at ten O'Clock by Rev. +. NJ. ShouSh, the
bridal couple stood beneath beautiful
horseshoe composed Of pure white flowers
and smilax. There were no attendants and
the bride, pretty blonde, wore travelling
dress of Myosotis blue Henrietta cloth with
panels and vest of Persian brocade. Her
hair was arranged in Grecian style, and she
carried bouquet of lilies OF the valley.
Mr.. Schmilz and his bride left on the two
O'Clock train for st. LOUIS, where they will
spend a week before going to De Soto, their
future home. Though the wedding was pri-
yate, only the relatives of the bride and
groom being present, they received some
very useful presents, among which were
some very handsome table linen. Mr.. Schmitz
is an estimable Young man and he and his
charming bride Will carry with them the
heartiest congratulations and best wishes of
their many friends here.
As dastardly an outrage as ever was known
On the streets of Ironton was committed last
Monday evening. On that evening Il party
Of three ladies, accompanied by the same
number of gentlemen, started from Miss
TOng's millinery store to 60 to the residence
Of j. T. AXE. They were followed by a
drunken stranger, W 10 had previously made
himself obnoxious by hanging about the
front of the store, and had been asked to
lm. This he refused to do, and, to avoid
rouble, they endeayOred to take no further :
notice of him. When the parties referred to
above started up street, he followed. They .
moved quickly on. thinking when they turn
ID off main street, he would keep straight :
IN. But be didn't, and when they had pro-
.eeded about fifty yards, after turning the :
corner at Reese's store, he threw two stones
It the crowd, which struck ana severely
injured two of the ladies - Misses May y
Tong and Dora AXE. Both were struck
IN the head, and blood flowed from the
Wounds. Immediately, the gentlemen-
Iessrs. Harry Jones, VIM. NOEL, and Wal
er Clark son-took after the assailant, who
urned and ran as soon as he threw. He
led rapidly, and his pursuers called on
)assers-by to head him off. Prof. Vance "
vas close by and joined in the chase, and .
With the combined efforts of the four, the
fugitive was captured. He was then taken
o Jail, and his identity discovered. His
lame is Fleetwood Carly, and he is resi-
lent of REYNOLDS county. He is charged =
With "feonious wounding," and the grand
ury will take him in hand. Under the cir :
INSTANCES, we have no comment to make,
kept that an indignant and outraged COM
nunity feel confident the law will deal with
he criminal as he deserves.
LATER.-SInce the above was put in type,
We learn that although the grand jury is in
ession - for some reason or other, the
ase was taken before Esquire Dinger, and, -
fter a hearing. the defendant was bound
yer i'm the enormous sum OF $500 to await
he action of the grand jury. Great is JUS L
ice, but how inscrutable her ways. r.
