sorrows, heart aches, and slesplsss
nights wayward boys can bring up
on their parents, has again been
demonstrated in this town. Sunday
night, February %, the hardware
store OF J. w. Frank WIS entered
through the rear cellar window, and
robbsd of revolvers, cutlery and am
unition. At the time it WAS thought
that the deed was done by tramps
but later it turns out that three
boys, sons of well known and re-
spectsd citizens, were the perpetra-
tors. Suspicion rested in certain
quarters and boy was watched, the
this result of which was the arrest Of
Frank S mith and Ira Clemson, on
Tuesday, charged with the crime.
Smith made q full confession, i'm
plicating Logan Burd in the rob-
beay. The boys wore taken before
Justice Kein, who placed them under
5000 bail for their appearance at
the next term of court Wednesday

ed Burd at the furnace and brought
him to the Justices office, where be
also confessed the crime stating that
they did it '.iust for fan" Serious
fun it will prove for the boys. Burd
refused to look for bail and WAS
committed to Jail until court. The
entire community sympathize with
the parents Of these wayward boys,
but have very little sympathy for
the boys themselves. Fifteen
persons were baptized at the New

old comrades since the war.
The work which is now to be is
sued will splendidly supply the wide.
~ felt demand for q history Of the
great strategic commander. It is
being written by General o. O.
Howard, q man Of fine literary At
tainmsnts, who knew Sherman bat
ter than any other Of his comrades
now living, and ranked next but one
to him in the army, and by Willis
Fletcher johnson, whose ability - .
historian is familiar to the reading
public Of America through his former
unusually popular works, which have
had millions Of readers, and the
sales OF their vast editions enriched
an army of book agents. That this
history of Sherman, the last Of the
great, Generals will surpass all others
in popularity II net to be doubted.
The story Of this great Generals Z
career is of marvellous march from
the mountains of time to the sea OF
eternity. OF the three great war
heroes, Sherman was by far the most
interesting personality. He was the
best known to the public and the
best loved for his genial dispositions
and warm sympathy with the pop.
ular heart. He has jeinsd his il
lustrious conpsers in the eternal
bivouas of tho dead. He il . life to
study-ts emulats-and is . pro.
found inspiration. The Forthcoming
volume will tell the whole story OF
his marvellous career, and from the
authorship engaged upon it, we are
assured it will be told in . way that
snthral the attention and interest Of
every reader from first to last It il
. book every American will want
and one every American youth should
read. It will doubtless be the best
life Of the great chieftain published.
and We predict for it wonderful pop.
ularity.

THE CATS OUT.

1t Is fine hole Commissioner of I'm
migration OWENS has got the admins
tration into through his anxiety to OBJ
lige Tin-plate Congressman NIEDERING-
HAUs, who wishes to import some cheap
Welsh labor to take the place Of his
striking American workmen. By de-
claring that the Alien Contract Labor
law was not meant to cover the case of
imported labor where the industry it
was intended for was not established in
this country, as in the case Of the tin
plate workers, Mr.. OWENS gave the
lie direct to HARRISON, MCKINLEY
and the whole Republican party
who have been declaring with
the most frantic emphasis that tin plate
is already being manufactured here, as
good as the foreigners make, and that
tin-plate plants are springing up every
where.
Mr.. OWENS let the tin-plate cat clear
out Of the bag. His decision necessi-
tates the acknowledgment by our Re-
publican friends Of one Of two things,
namely, that there Is no tin plate being
made IN this country, or, else, that the
reason gipen Is not the real reason t0hy
the protected manufacturers rant to i'm
port this foreign labor.
Mr.. OWENS, by his willingness to alb
rogate the only law that American
labor is interested in, at the behoof Of
the tariff barons, has stirred up the
largest kind of hornets nest in Wash
ington administration circles and Secre-
tarY FOSTER will proceed to discipline
the laundering official for "giving the
snap away" and spelling the whole tin
plate campaign Of MCKINLEY.
1t will be remembered that when Mr..
was interviewed re-
gardlng OWENS decision, he expressed
surprise that the thing had been made
public. Mr.. rOwENs evidently forgot
that the motto of the Republican
leaders and the tariff barons is Addi-
ton, Division and Silence.

claves.
Wheeling Commandery No. 1, knights
Templar, held their regular monthly
meeting at their hall on Twelfth street
last night. Three candidates were
Knighted. Sir Knight Geo. Gambrill,
of Calvary Commandry, Parkersburg,
was present and also several members Of
Cyrene Commandery.
The executive committee appointed
for the National Conclave, at Denver,
in August, '92, was composed of Capt.
w. H. Travis, chairman, and Messrs.
A. T. Hupp, T. G.. Stevenson, c. P.
Wood and Stephen Waterhouse, Jr. For
the State Conclave at Huntington next
May, the following delegates were
chosen: Eminent Commander John A.
Zorn, Rev. r. Rush Swope and E. P.
Wheat.
After the meeting was over the Sir
Knights repaired to the Hotel Van
Keuren where they sat down to feast,
which comprised all the delicacies Of
the season, and the choice viands were
discussed very pleasantly. State Emil
nent Grand Commander Morris, pre-
sided, and at the conclusion of the ban
quet made a brief speech and called
upon Sir Knight Davis as one who was
"about to depart for fields and pastures
new-he and his horse" Sir Knight
Davis responded in few happy re-
marks, and was followed by Sir Knight
E. W.. Dunaway and others. 1t was
one of the most pleasant Of the Knights
happy affairs.

GETTING RID OF THE JONAHs.

On the eve of presidential election
the Republican party has come to the
conclusion that it is eminently neces-
sary to get rid of the choice assortment
of Jonahs, who are likely to embarass
it very much in the stormy times in
prospect. But those gentlemen are
very unwilling to be summarily cast
overheard, and threats and friendly
protests do not appear to have much
effect upon them.
There seems to be hitch in the pro-
ceedings regarding the resignation Of
QUAY from the Craftsmanship Of the
executive committee Of the Republican
national committee. He demands his
price for relieving the party Of his I'M
desirable leadership, and although he
may obtain his first demand from the
President, a comfortable federal place
for one of his cronies-there may be
other demands yet to come which must
be granted before he makes way for
Headsman CLARKsoN. The welcome
lnJeIns1uUo mat the notorious DUDLEl
was also about to recognize the force OF
public opinion by resigning from the
same committee, has been denied by
him. DUDLEY can only be induced to
resign through actual compulsion.
There is no likelihood Of the Repub-
lican party getting rid Of that terrible
Jonah, the postmaster general, who Is
as profoundly indifferent to the general
voice of the party as If he had never
participated in shady transactions with
those lovely rascals, LUCAS, MARSH
and BARDsLEY, and was not under a
cloud in the estimation of all honorable
people. Nothing short Of a sharp in
vestigation by the next house OF repre-
sentatives can move RAUM from the
pension Office. 1t will be seen, there
fore, that the Republican party has
formidable task before it to rid itself OF
even few Of its Johahs. The work
will be finally accomplished by the
American people.

from Mt. Morris, New York, says: SAT
urday about dozen Italians and Poies
employed in the salt mine at Greigsviiie
came here to do some trading ana
while waiting for the train at the Lacka-
wanna depot to return home, they en-
gagged in fight on the depot platform.
Knives, stones and bottles were freely
used. One Italian was stabbed several
times and pounded on the head Win i
stone. His recovery is doubtful. Two
other Italians were stabbed, one OF them
seriously. Two of the Poles received
several cuts on their legs. Except Tor
the interference Of Fred Gilmartin the
fight would have undoubtedly resulted
in several deaths on the spot. The ltal-
fans made their escape on the train De-
fore the constables arrived. but all were
arrested and brought back here to-day
except two who were seriously hurt
that they could not be moved.

A MYSTERIOUS CASE.
tia Mothers Arms.

A little ripple of excitement was
caused in Martins Ferry yesterday by a
report being put in circulation that a
little colored child had been foully dealt
with at house occupied by James
Green. Upon investigating the matter
1t was learned that a celored woman oy
the name of Henrietta Swayner was the
mother OF three weeks old illegltl-
mate child and upon awakening up
Yesterday morning reported that she
found the child dead in her arms. They
made arrangements to have the little
one buried GU the same day, which
aroused the suspicion of the neigh6ors,
and on the matter being reported to
Mayor Keller, he had DR.. Harvey make
an examination. The doctor stated
that he found no evidence OF
violence, but could not say what
caused it's death.
Mayor Keller telephoned to Coroner
BOYD, who came up to the city and held
an inquest last night. Five witnesses
were examined, but the evidence failed to
prove how the child met its death. One
witness swore that blood was issuing
from the child's mouth when 1t was
found, while the other witnesses testl'
fed that such was not the case. The
Coroner concluded that the child had
met it's death from causes unknown,
and it will be buried to-day.

THE Toronto, Can, Hdrdtcdrc dis
cusses the reasons why American pig
lead is sold In Montreal at $500 to 1918
per cwt., while the price of the same
article in New York is $40 to Sac.
The reason is very plain. On this side
of the border there is tariff duty OF
two cents pound on pig lead. This
gives the American pig-lead monopolists
the opportunity to charge the American
consumer as much as they choose up to
the tariff limit. So, they can afford to
sell cheaper to Canadians. The Ameri-
can consumer is taxed to give the Cana
dams cheap lead. 1t is the same with
scores of other protected" articles.
The American consumer "gets left" all
around on the tariff deal.
