Embarrassing Accident.

An incident occurred at the White
House reception in Washington on
Friday evening that has since been
the talk of the social world OF Wash
ington. A lady prominent in society,
the married daughter of a wealthy
Western Senator, who is widower,
was the heroine or victim. She is no
ted for the magnificence of her ex-
tremely decollette costumes, and on
this occasion the dress was decollette
indeed. The bodice was simply a
piece of filmy lace and a small Dir of
satin not much wider than a waist
belt. with a narrow shoulder strap
which supported the whole garment.
The lady removed her wraps in the
c'oakroom and entered the Blue
Room on the arm of her father.
Postmaster General Wanamah er had
just offered his arm to the lady, pre-
paratory to a promenade through the
East Room, when the frail support
that held the waist in place over the
white shoulders gave way, and the
loosened protection OF lace and rib.
bons slid down over the arms. Had
it not been for the large bouquet OF
roses that was utilized as screen the
predicament would have proven
even more embarrassing. The wife
of Western Senator when she saw
the accident, assisted the unfortun-
ate lady to the cloakroom, in the alb
sence Of Mr. Wanamaker, who had
fled

The Postmaster from Paint Creek.

A well-dressed young man entered
the Railway House at Railway, n. Y,
few days ago. and registered as
James Vance of Jersey City. AT
4. 80 O'Clock the Southern express ar
rived, and one Of the passengers, a
tall man wearing q SLOUGH hat, went
to the Railway House and registered
as ]. w. Maynor, West Virginia. He
asked Proprietor Swain if Vance was
there and was directed to Vance's
room. A short time afterward the
two men came down stairs and en-
tered the barroom. They had drink
and then started out toward the rail
road station.
Vance is the leader Of bunco gang,
and has been Swallowed by two de-
tectives, who followed him and May
nor to the station. The detectives
asked Chief of Police Tucker to ar
rest the men Tucker caught Vance
just as train was moving out for
New York. Vance made jump for
the train and got upon the platform,
dragging Tucker after him. The
Chief ordered the conductor to stop
the train, which he did, and Tucker
took his man off. AS soon az Maynor
saw that his friend was arrested he
broke away and made bee line for
the hotel. He entered the reading
room and sat down and began read
ing a newspaper.
Tucker had sent Special Officer
Ward to arrest Maynor Ward enter
ed the reading room, and walking up
TO Maynor, said: Il have been sent
l. nd a come
along" Maynor jumped to his feet,
and whipping out a 44-calibre reVoi,
yer leveled it at Wards breast and
fired. Ward jumped TO one side, and
received the bullet in his arm. THOSE
in the room began to stampede, May
nor saying that he would shoot the
first one who came near him. May
nor then raised the revolver, and SAID
that if they intended to arrest him he
would blow his brains out. he raised
the revolver, and pointing it at his
head was about to pull the trigger
when Proprietor Swain knocked IL
from his nand. He stopped and
picked the revolver up and pointing
to those in the room said he would
shoot the first one who followed him,
aud backed to the door. When he
gained the street he turned ana ned
down the railroad track to Houghton-
Vile, two miles below. Here he took
q train for New Brunswick where he
was arrested upon telegraph order
from Chief Tucker Vance was locked
up on a charge of swindling, and
Maynor is held for attempting TO Kill
Ward.
Maynor says he had been dealing
with green goods men, and when
Ward, VINO was in plain clothes, told
him he was under arrest he thought 1T
was part of a conspiracy. He is sorry

A Fight to the Death.

A battle to the death took place in
Mercer county, KY, the other day,
between a valuable saddle stallion
and jackass belonging to William
Thomas. a stock raiser. A few days
ago mad dog bit Thomas's little boy
and the stallion. The horse went
mad, and, kicking down a door to the
jacks stable, began biting him. The
jack retaliated, and for fifteen min
utes they fought, using their teeth,
heels, and fore feet. Finally the
jack tore the stations left ear with
his teeth, and the stallion then bit a
piece from the jacks neck. This
seemed to make the jack more fero-
cious than ever, and, grabbing the
lower part of the stallion's neck in his
teeth, he tore out his windpipe. But
the high-mettled stallion did not give
up. and before falling he kicked the
jacks left hind leg, breaking it just
below the hook He then fell dead.
The jack uttered a long, loud bray
and went into his stable. He was
covered with blood and wounded un-
to death, so that his master killed
him to put him ont of his misery.
The boy was taken to maidstone.
The stone struck three times, and he
showed no signs Of madness. 1t is be-
lieved he will recover.

WEST VIRGINIA ITEMS.

Miss Gean Irwin, of Wheeling, was
asphy1iated Sunday night by escap-
ing gas. All efforts to save her life
were unavailing.
Speaking of the fact that Senator
Faulkner spoke for ten houIs in the
recent debate on the Force bill, the
Philadelphia Record says: He de-
serves statue in front OF the Capitol
for his great service.
At Parkersburg a few days ago
Steve Warrnan and Sylvester Ditman
had a bar-room quarrel. Warman
hit Ditnan in the head with a beer
glass, and Ditman died day or two
afterwards from the effects of the
blow.
A Worlds Fair club has been orga-
nized in Kingwood. The club is linn
tied to twenty-five members and is
full. Each member pays rs cents a
week until May, 1893. The acoumu-
lated fund will then be used to defray
the clubs expenses to the fair.
Charles Messenger, the alleged
mail robber, who has defied capture
for several years in the lumber camps
and mountainous region, was caught
by Depu. y Marshal White last week
in Tucker county. Messenger was
taken to Parkersbrrg and is now in
prison Messengers desperate char
aeter had become so great that very
few State or Government officers
cared to attempt to arrest him. 1t is
said he has whipped out half dozen
deputy marshals and their posses, and
that quite q mum Der OF State officers
are numbered among his victims.
His name has been a terror Deputy
Marshal White succeeded by strat egy
in Handwriting the despsrado, but
Messenger had to be dragged a long
distance over the snow before the
Marshal found any conveyance. He
finally got a mule and strapped his
prisoner to the animal and brought
him over the mountains to the rail
road

THE FORCE BILL.

Since our last issue the situation in
regard to the Force bill has assumed
several different shapes. Senator
Aldrich, who had called up his gag
rule, or closure resolution, was una
BILE to get vote on the measure, rs
the Democrats showed q perfect will
ingness to talk until the 4th Of
March. They succeeded perfectly in
their attempt to puzzle the Vice Pres
ident, and under the leadership OF
Senator German exhibited 4 wonder
full diversity OF parliamentary tactics.
The Republicans could not do thing
to further their cause, and the Dem
ocrats from Tuesday until Monday
held the enemy at bay through clear
strategy.
Monday another engagement took
place. in which old Mr.. Hoar and his
colleagues were completely routed.
Senator Morgan was continuing a
speech begun on Saturday, when
Senator Wolcottt, the independent
young Republican from Colorado,
arose and moved to lay aside the
closure resolution. His motion was
a bombsbell in the camp. Mr.. Dolph
moved to lay the proposition on the
table, and the Republicans came pill
ing into the chamber in hot haste
Mr.. Dolph's motion was lost by vote
of IS to "a. Then Mr.. Wolcott's mo-
ton to lay aside the closure resolution
and take up the apportionment bill
was put before the Senate. 1t was an
exciting scene. Poor old Mr.. Hoar
got white and red by turns, while
Senator Aldrich so far forgot himself
that he had to be called to order
Senators German and Faulkner
looked becomingly triumphant, for
had they not spent Sunday working
up the plans? When the vote was
announced the Force bill had got
ten another black eye. for Mr.. VOL

Just exactly enough. The Democrats
were very happy, while the Repub.
licans were sadly depressed. The
occupants of the galleries applauded
so vigorously that Mr.. Edmunds pet
ulautly insisted that the visitors be
turned out.
On Tuesday there was not a word
said about the Force bill in the Senate.
The regular and legitimate business
was proceeded with, the apportion-
ment bill being the subject under con-
sideration At the Republican caucus
Tuesday morning it seemed to be
taken for granted that the Force bill
was hopelessly buried, for \ plan was
agreed upon to consider in order all
the other measures before the Senate,
no provision whatever being made
for taking up the Force bill.
At the present time it looks as
though the Force bill is dead. 1t
may be, though, that the New En-
gland humbugs, who are ut the bot
tom Of the measure, will endeavor
once more to call 1t up. But II they
do, they will find the Democrats doing
business at the old stand.

AN EPISODE IN THE LEGISLATURE.

There was an interesting episode in
the House of Delegates of this State
last week. Mr.. Young called up a
resolution that he had previously in
troduced, reciting the valorous deeds
and detailing the suffering of the
home guards of West Virginia during
the late war, and requesting Con-
gress TO give them bounties and pen
sions. Mr.. cambridge moved a sub
stitute as follows:
Resolved by the Legislature Of
West Virginia, That oui Senators and
Representatives in the Congress OF
the United States be requested to
stop the frauds practiced under the
existing pension laws, by which the
treasury of the government is threat
ened with bankruptcy, and that they
be asked to try to secure the early
passage of some such measure as will
give proper pensions only to such
soldiers, widows and children as may
be justly entitled TO the same.
Mr. cambridge spoke of the pension
business as the most colossal fraud Of
the age. He said: Il fought in the
Confederate army and no man in this
world has a higher regard for the
true Union soldier than l have, but
the kind of men that Mr. Young's res.
olution provides for were those
known as the home guards, and these
same men stole our horses, burnt our
houses and committed depredations
in general. These men were not true
soldiers, and for one will never vote
to pension them" Delegate Smith,
who is pensioner himself. got red
hot at this point, and warmly de
Tended the pension system, as did Mr..
Hanen Mr. Clark wanted to know
where the brave home guards fought
and what battles they had won. He
thought this class of soldiers as a
general thing was a hard set. The
discussion was participated in by B.
number of members. and the result
was the final adoption Of an amend
ment and the rejection Of Mr.. Dan
bridges substitute by very small
majority. The amendment that was
adopted asks Congress to pass laws
to give proper pensions to the West
Virginia State troops OF the late war.
