FUN At THE MORTON.
How the Furniture Men Got Wine and
Cigars From = Masher

CSors from = N Mesher.
The furniture men are jolly set of
people, and now they do ENJOY o good
joke on one of their own number. Yes
terday they were laughing among
themselves in little groups in the cor
ners, and even the dining room girls
seemed to partake OF the merrmcnt
that ran rife in the house. "Oh, say,
but we have had y good one on -
-. OF Boston, today" SAID one of
the clerks last evening. Its too good
to keep, but guess l won't give away
the name. We have had enough fun
out of it, any way. You see. he's an
elegantly dressed boy, regular lady
killer. He has great eye on HIM for
the girls, and IN fact had the idea that
ali the girls in the dining room thought
that he was very sweet. One OF the
boys came in the other day and pro-
posed a great scheme. We'd chip in
and get big boquet and present it to
him with the compliments Of the girls
of the house. Why, the boys just
grabbed at the idea. So we got a bo
quet Mg enough to fill peck measure.

The opponents OF Senator Sherman in
Ohio have been trying to make capital
against him by intimating that he would
do nothing to prevent Calvin 5 Brice
from taking sent in tho United State
senate, despite the fact that he was not
legally elected. In letter to the chair
man Of the Republican state committee
Mr.. Sherman suggests that inasmuch as.
Brice holds q certificate of the governor
OF his election in due form, and will
therefore be sworn in on the first day OF
the session, the only way that contest
can be begun is for the citizens OF the
state, say, the Ohio Republican commit
tee. to address . memorial to tho senate,
which would give that body an oppor-
tunity to institute an inquiry into the
facts. However, the senator says that
the only formal and effective way would
be Tor the Ohio legislature to address
such memorial to the senate. The
TACT OF Brice taking his seat in the sem
ate would not affect the contest if it
could be afterward proven that he was

ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPING

NV
srEunENviLLE, Nov. 29.-Considerable
excitement was caused last night by M
attempt ut kidnapping. j. Ross Moss
grove, jr., and Katie Cooper were narri-
ed at Burgettstown, Pa, 1879. Moss
grove is nephew OF ]. Ross Mossgrovc,
proprietor OF the leading hotel OF this
city, and is u skilled glassworker. After
their marriage they came to this city,
where they began housekeeping and
where Alossgrove's earnings enabled
them to live in comfortable style. Three
children were born to them, the two
oldest OF which have died. ~.
Nothing appeared TO mar the serenity
oil their married lie until tho husband

Titlin, 0. After this, according to his
wiie's story in court, he began to neg
lcct her and her child, and about q year
ago stopped work and since has con-
tributed little or nothing to their sup
port, and has abused and beaten his
wife. About three weeks ago she
brought suit against him, charging
gross neglect Of duty and extreme cru
city. The papers were not served upon
him until to-day.
After being served with summons he
conceived tho idea OF stealing away his
child, little girl, now about six years
OF age, and for whom he has always ap-
parcntly had warm affection. His
wife and child have been staying at her
fathers on Water street. About .
o'clock he called at the ncxt.door. neigh.
bors and waited until he saw the child
in the kitchen. Then he jumped over
the fence and, entering the back door,
seized the child. His wife and her
mother tried TO intercept him, but both
were Knocked down, and taking tho
child in his arms, he rushed down
Water street. When about a square
away his, wife, who had recovered from
the blow, caught up with him and seized
him by the coat. In order to discngago
himself from her grasp he was obliged
to drop the child, which was immcdi-
ately seized by the mother. Mossgrovc
turned upon her, and according to the
story OF the wiie's relotives, was beat.

came up. Mossgrovo fed, but was

nIlnnl RIllM Allen Deal.

"Land Bill" Allen is dead. A victim
OF mans ingratitudc, he was allowed to
spend his Inst days in poor house. lie
had spent the best years OF his life in n
philanthropic work and as n result of
his efforts tho great West is dotted with
thousands OF happy homes, made pos
sible by the national homestead law, Of
which he was the author.
Recently tho ISrEILlGENcEn started n
subscription for his relief and had sue.
ceeded in obtaining from workingmen
OF Wheeling good sum, which would
have formed the basis OF n collection
that might hayoplaced him beyond tho
reach of want. Just rs We were about to
forward the money word came that it
was too lato to BIO Of any earthly uso to
the brave old man. The INrEILIGENcER
Immediately wired an inquiry as to
whether the money would be needed
for funeral expenses. Should it be
found that they have already been pro.
vided for the money will either be re-
turned to the contributors or, should
they desire, be used to purchase q
tombstone, appropriately inscribed, to
mark the grave.
Thisotlering from Wheeling workmen
was creditable because it came SO
promptly and was an earnest of their
appreciation Of the great life work OF
Mr.. Allen. Though left to die without
friends or money, his memory deserves
to be enshrined in every American
home. The thought OF tho circum.
stances OF his death should bring blush
OF shame to the faces OF those who,
aware OF his destitution, left it to
strangers to take the initiative for his
relief. That it did not reach him in
time was not the fault of the generous
hearts in Wheeling who contributed
their mite.
When the story OF Land Bill Aliens
self-sacrificc and shameful treatment is
told TO future generations they will Won
der that such ingratitudc could be in a
Christian nation.
