Attack an Aged Couple Ia Their Home.
The Old Man Fatally shot.
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, October 15.-A
daStardly crime was committed last
night between Q and IL o'clock by five
unknown colored men who worked on
the GAINESVILLE Mineral railroad. Ii is
thought they entered the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Jones, an old and almost help
less white couple, who lived about
eight miles from this city, and asked for
something 10 eat Jones went with
three Of the men to get some food,
and the other two attempted to
carry Mrs. Jones trunk from
the house. The old lady caught
tle trunk-StraDs and resisted the THEW
Ing attempts Of the men, whereupon
one Of them pulled out pistol and shot
her, the ball entering just below the
night nipple, glancing against a rib aud
coming out at the side. Jones then en-
tered the room and was severely beaten
with sticks and stamped in the face,
while he was down, by the robbers.
HE five men made good their escape
and have not been caught, but if they
are, will be lynched. Mrs. Jones has
Tor some years been fOrtune-teller, and
mas accumulated some money, which
they desired 10 obtain. Both the in
llred people are lying in a precariouS
condition, and will in all probability
die

cation, and daughter of the Superln-

cast for an important character and had
been engaged in rehearsal for several
weeks.
The order came to her yesterday

could not appear as a Catholic, and re-

OF prominent Catholic citizens endeav-

build up that which was untrue.
Miss Filler gave up her place in the
cast and another lady was appointed.
The young lady was Frustrated by the
circumstance.

A Tax Just the Same.
MoNoNGALIA COUNTY, w. VA, !
October II, 1891.

! MONONGALIA COUNTY, w. VA, !
October IL, 1891.
To tie Editor Of the Register.
SHIT has been some time since the
rural portion of this county has been
represented in your columns.
We have a rural portion-such is an
| undisputed fact-but they are seldom
called in question only as factors when
some revenue is to be raised, or rather
when the question is being considered,
Chow much tax can they pay?" Taxes
local, taxes State, taxes National; taxes
early, taxes often. Lay on, McDuff,
and cursed be he who first cries hold!
enough!
We still have those who believe a
tariff Is not tax, and the only way to
prosperity is over the one road-taxa-
ton. 1t seems they never will under
stand that the best way to make people
enjoy their money is to let them appro-
pirate it themselves. Fortunately for
US, we are not in a political campaign
now, and we hope to learn by observa-
ton. We notice that in Ohio the old
story Of the pigs and pugS is being
utilized. Blessed be Mckinley free
sugar, brought down fully 50 per cent,
while protection cheapened most other
articles and made very bountiful crops
for the farmer, and gave a good foreign
market by failure OF their crops.
We notice that tin plate will be much
cheaper in a year or tlCO; not however
till after the election is over, but the
promise is all we want-and yet very
much may depend in that case on free
trade in Welsh labor. No! that cannot
be, for we protect home labor, home
capital, home industries. We think it
is Adam Smith who explains that IL we
trade with each other we have tiOO
profits, but II we trade with somebody
else we have only one.
This reminds us Of a story, as Lincoln
used to say. Once upon time we had
two brothers Of the home industry or
der, and they spent most of their time
during one winter season trading vests
with each other. In the spring each
had the same vest first owned by him
and fifty cents in money, realized in
the home industry; all of which he re-
lgiously believed Many of the neigh
bOrs, however, could not fully under
stand how the thing could be-but that
did not alter the facts in the case. Suf-
fee It to say, the brothers grew up to be
good Republicans, aud to-day their pos
terity are well grounded in the faith
that the tariff is no tax, that free trade
makes sugar cheaper, and tariff will
cheaper tin, and that If we trade with
each other we will have two profits.

In cases of emergency politics go out
of sight and questions Of local interest
come up for adjustment. This week,
aside from politics, the question of fuel
has taken the lead. What is Bellaire to
do for natural gas, since the supply is
giving out; since the Wheeling Natural
Gas Company has monopoly on the
gas supply, and since the people OF this
city have gone to the expense Of fitting
up CRATES and stoves especially to burn
natural gas? All these questions are
being revolved in the minds OF gas
consumers. The gas company is
leaving the populace to do It's
own thinking regarding the matter.
/ What the concern wants is repeal OF
the ordinance which grants 1T the power
to charge but ten cents thousand for
fuel. If another ordinance is ever given
the company Il should be stipulated
that there must DE kept decent pres
sure in the pipes or get no pay. The
company may not have supply or gas
at present but some things noticed about
! the pressure OF late are very mysterious.
On Wednesday afternoon the gas came
on with great force but only remained
so for about an hour. At six o'clock
there was hardly enough fuel TO keep a
stove warm. The gas company wants
to make the price twenty cents thou
sand with a discount of twenty-five per
cent. The discount would go glimmer-
ing before many moons.
