INTERESTING CASES.
\ Woman Arrested For Blgan,y and "a
Man For Blackmail.

Man For Blaclmail.
Yesterday a man named Ernest W..
Ticc appeared before Justice Arklc and
sworc out a warrant for a married
woman living IN the East End, charging
her with bigamy, and thereby hangs a
tale.
The lady was arrested and the
story she tells is to the effect that she
was married TO Ernest Tice along in
1850 or 1851 i'm Marietta, and that al
though he abused her, she lived with
him for some time and three girls was
the result of the union. At last Tice
made life so unbcarable she could not
live with him any longer, and afterwards
hc went away with another woman.
She applied for divorce and in the
meantime she believed that Ticc had
been sent to the penitcntiary. This. her
lawyer told her, released her from
her marriage contract the same as
a divorce. and afterwards She came to
Wheeling remaining here some time
On April -, 1890, she was married by
the Rev. VIM. G.. Ulfcrt to her present
husband and has been living happily
ever since until yesterday, when Tice
showed up and sent her note by man
named Henry Hager, which was to the
effect that unless she paid him $500 he
would give her trouble. She declined
to pay any attention to the threat and
in about ten minutes Ticc appeared at
her husbands place of business
and made several demands Of
him. at last agreeing to accept
$50 to keep quiet, but the gentleman
declined to give him a cent. Tice then
procured certified copies of the marriage
license and the minister's certificate.
The warrant was sworn ont and Con-
stable Laughlin arrested the lady, the
Justice holding her for Court in the
sum Of $500. which she furnished. The
hearing will take place at o'clock this
evening.
Afterwards the lady's husband APP
pcared before Justice Arkle and Swore
out warrant for Tice, charging him
with blackmail. Ticc was arrested, but
owing TO the absence Of witness the
hearing was postponed until this after
noon at o'clock. Ticc being held in the
sum of $500 and being sent to Jail in
default.

CUT THE OIL PREMIUM.
The standard Makes Another stab at the
Operators

PirTsBURG. September II. - The
Standard oil Co, has ordered another
reduction IN the oil premium. Five
cents is taken from the Washington
county oil and four cents from the Mid
die field oil and West Virginia oil, leav-
ing the premiums respectively - and T.
per cent. When a similar reduction
was made a few short weeks ago, howl
arose that was heard throughout the
length and breadth Of Oildom, and,
while il was generally conceded to be
the beginning OF the end, the producers
had no idea the end was coming
so quickly as il evidently is. and
they therefore sent up wall over yes
terday's cut that double-discounted the
first one, and which seemed to be COM
posed of about equal degrees of agony
and defiance. Like the first stab the
second one came suddenly and without
a word of warning. the consequences
being that various plans based on the
supposed price Of premium oil were dis
concerted and the producers thrown
into paroXy>mS of rage. After the fits
passed of. however, they appeared To
bee a very dctcrmincd-lOokiug lot of men
AS il they had concluded 10 was about
time to quit taking punishment without
making some show of fight.

KERR Is CONFIDENT.
The Democratic Chairman Predicts Great
Victory in Pennsylvania

ALTOONA, PA, September lin an
interview to-day, Chairman Kerr eX-
pressed the belief that PattiSon would
be elected by not less than $4,000 ma
jority. lie stated that everything in
the State is simply booming, so far as
the Democratic prospects are CON
cerncd.
Mr.. Kerr is Ia receipt of information
from every quarter of the State, and is
of the opinion that Mr. PattiSon'S
chances are much superior now to what
they were eight years ago, when he was
elected by 10000 plurality. The ma
iority of the people, Chairman Kerr
said. do not discern this fact because
the campaign SO far has been somewhat
quietly conducted, and the amount of
Republican dissatisfaction is partially
cloaked. From now on the canvass will
become more active than ever, and will
be- continued with the greatest cnthusi-
aSm and energy till the end. 1t is the
intention of Mr.. Pattison to take the
stump and speak at different places
during the coming month.
