MISTAKEN FOR A BURGLAR.
A Flood Victim shot Dead by His
Brothsr-In Law.


WHEELING, w. Va, Feb. 20.-George
Hess, of Fulton, was mistaken for a
burglar by his two brothers in law,
named Bell, at Pleasant Valley, during
the morning, and was shot, dying in
stantly.
Mrs. Hess had been in delicate health,
and her husband, fearing the aOod, de-
cided to take his family to the residence
of his mothsr-iu-law at Pleasant VAL
ley. The party did not arrive at the
Bell residence until after midnight, and
Mr.. Hess tried to arouse the sleeping
family. With his little child in his
arms he went upon the porch and called
several times.
The two young men of the family saw
the form on the porch, and, thinking
there was to be a repetition ofithe attempt
to enter made by burglars last Sunday
night, armed themselves and went to the
door. When they opened it Mr.. Hess
spoke and attempted to enter. Ezekiel,
the younger brother, fired, and Hess,
still clasping his child, fell to the porch
dead. The child screamed:
"Oh, papa is dead ~ and the boys ran
out and discovered what they had done.
The young man at once came to the city
and gave himself up. There was a YER
dict Of accidental shooting.

MIR BLAINE is all that remains of
vitality for the republican party. Out
side him and excepting him it is dead,
and can ask nothing at the hands of the
American people, but speedy interment
The narrow federalists, the bigoted
bourbons, the stupid slaves of mere
monopoly, the corrupt managers, the
base fat-fryers and election greasers have
completely stranded it. Under the wreck
are many who were men of mark but
yesterday. 1t was but the other day
that there were two men from Maine;
but the other day that Mckinley was to
be the next president; but a few months
since that Quay was considering whether
the help of Mr. Blaine in "tloater fund"
campaign was desirable or not. 1t is
a pretty serious matter to undertake to
rise again party which is not only
dead, but rotten, and in order to do so,
to reverse its policies and suspend it's
traditions. Through all its career the
federalist-republican party has been the
enemy of freedom in commerce and in
dustry, the party of barbarous restric-
ton against enlightened liberty. 1t has
held that the government will do better
for the people than the people can do
for themselves; that the instinct of trade
is false guide and the wisdom of the
ruler a better

THERE is great excitement in Brook
lyn. 1t is proposed to appoint colored
man on the police force of that city.
Why that should create such intense ex.

that will have to be explained by those
who maintain that the only section of
the country where black man doesn't
have as many rights as his white brother
is in the south.

OF the lamented General Sherman it
can truly be said His great name was
never touched by scandal. OF all
men who have lived in the fervid life of
the last three decades of American his
tory of none except President Lincoln
and General Grant could it be said that
the entire nation bowed at his bier. He
is almost the last of the brilliant COM
manders on land and sea who upheld
the union cause. Grant, Farragut,
Sheridan, Hancock, Thomas, Porter and
many more have ceased from their
labors. His patriotism. his genius in
war, his citizenship i'll a period of great
trial-these are known to all men, and
his name linked with the names of Lin
coin and Grant, will descend to the
latest posterity.

SOME humorous friends of William
Plummer of Pittsield, Mass, recently
advertised for a wife for him. Six hun
dred replies came, which the young men
