We would like to speak more fully of
several exhibits, but time will allow
us to say but little, but we must say
that the exhibit of honey by Deacon
Blackmer was one of the finest we ever
saw, also the exhibit of garden vegeta-
bles by his son, L. d. Blackmer.
The ladies furnished dinner at their
rooms under the town hall to large
number of people. Their receipts were
nearly or quite 500, and the young
ladies furnished ice cream and cake at
their booth on the grounds, the receipts
of which were nearly S25, both of which
are to be used to cancel their indebted
ness for repairs to the church.

Shooting Near Covington.

a serious shooting occurred at Payne's
Mill, about three miles below COyington
on Saturday last. On the morning of
that day, Mrs Wilcher seriously wound
ed three times Marietta Bush, who lived
in a cabin near the old mill The facts,
as far as the Sentinel can obtain them,
are as follows:
William Wilcher began life as a poor
boy, but up to last year had accumula-
ted respectable little property, married
and won-the respect of the community
Ill which he lived. He had nice look
ing little house and large family of
small children. Last winter he began
neglecting his wife and family, and fl
nally deserving them entirely, clipping
with the Bush woman to West Virginia.
A short time ago he returned with her
to Allegheny county, and they took up
their residence in q small cabin at
Payne's mill. Of course Mrs. Wilcher
soon heard of their arrival, and ON Sat-
urday morning last, she armed herself
with revolver and rode over to the mill
to interview the guilty pair. The woman
saw her coming and guessed her pur-
pose. There being no way of escape
from the cabin without being seen, she
hid under the bed, where Mrs WiIcher
found her and fred at her at close range
several times with the above result
On leaving the house after the shoot
ing, Mrs. Wilcher remarked that she
had not killed her, though she had come
to do so and could have done so if she
had wished. She has since made no eff
fort to escape, and will probably submit
quietly to the warrant for her arrest
which has been issued by Justice Mons
tague OF this place, but which, up to
tlsis4aVri ~. has not been serx d44upon
her.
The wounded woman will probably re-
cover unless blood poisoning sets in,
none of her wounds being necessarily IA
tai. She is under the care of DIR. H. w.

Gambling Shakes a Throne

It will be seen from the following
statement direct from London, that the
gambling propensities of the Prince of
Wales, heir apparent to the British
throne, that the people of that staid
kingdom have been seriously worked up
Princes gambling habits. While the
system under which the government Of
England is conducted, is conservative,
yet the people are by no means disposed
to tolerate such conduct in the Royal
family as has recently been developed
in the Princes relations to the gamb-
ling game called Baccarat 1t may be
that the spree at Tanby Croft will cost
him a Kingdom, and revolutionize the
whole political system of England.
1.-THE storm rising around the Prince of Wales
is fast obtaining intensity, endangering his
chances of Succession to the throne, if not the
existence OF the English monarchy. No class
seems to be stirred SO deeply as the great mid
die class the real strength of the country and
hitherto solid and stolid prop of the monarchy.
Wherever it's voice becomes audible its earnest
companied by regrets at his nearness to the
throne. Representative gatherings of religious
bodies, CONGREGATIONAL, Methodist. Baptist, Uni
tartan and Presbyterian have already recorded
their condemnation.
Boards of guardians are going out of their ac-
customed paths to discuss motions branding the
gambling propensties of the Prince of Wales as
disgrace to the country. Several liberal socie-
ties have adopted protests against his continu-
ance in the army The agitation has every char
acter Of permanence. 1t has not yet touched
more than fringe of the political parties, but
ere long the growing tierceness of the popular
heat must penetrate to the core of politics, cauS-
ing party action within and without Parliament,
The radical members of the House of Commons
are opening the attack on the Prince of Wales
but they have been warned that Mr.. Gladstone
resents the movement and that the leaders OF
the opposition will actively show their repug-
nance to associatng liberalism with an agita-
tjon tending to cast discredt on the crown. A
group of radicals meeting, concurred in the
opiuion that the leaders had mistaken the feel
ing of the nation; that even on party grounds
if was impossible to neglect the duty to take the
sense of Parliament on the position of the
Prince of Wales and the others concerned
The various popular religious denomi
nations, Sucn as the MetnOulStS anu Dap
( fists, are strong in their denunciation Of
the Prince. and demand a radical refor'
nation in the habits and practices O.
the beir,apparent The feeling of dis
! satisfaction is general with the middle
classes and deep>seated, indicating thai
there is yearning to dispense with roy
atty and all of its attendant class dis
tinetions and assumed superiority.

able 10 break two Of the bones of the

lice attempting to arrest her that she not
only was able to prevent them putting

officer and his posse one by one, flung
them out of the house and closed and

The French Navy.

France is the slowest shipbuilder
,mong the naval powers. The frequent
changes in the head of the French naval
department. have brought in officers (the
french minister of marine is always
laval oilicer) of widely different views
Work on vessels not embodying the
IDEAS OF a new chief was stopped upon
lis assuming control of affairs and await
~ the coming OF another man. A fair
ample of this is the Courbet. formerly
alled the Foudroyant- This vessel,
Aid down in 1915, was completed in
1888. The Magenta, the Charles Mar
I'll and the BrennIs were laid down
seven or eight years ago. The Magenta
the only one of the three that has even
yet been launched.
The present French building pro-
ramme calls for ten first class battle
,hips. If they are completed by 1900
France vii have broken all her previous
records. Three were to be laid down
Turing 1890. a sudden change in the
naval administration may postpone their
completion indefinitely.
The latest additions to the French
navy are the Marceau and the Neptune,
he Magenta, just launched, and the
Hoche, which has been completed about
year. The latter vessel differs from
he Other three in several essential
points, hut the changes were introduced
