A Pleasant Occasion.

About two hundred members of the
order of Daug hters OF Liberty came down
from Steubenville and Mingo last even
ing to pay fraternal visit to Pride OF
Wheeling and Lady Washington Coun-
ellis. Quite an elaborate programme
had been arranged for their entertain
ment, but owing to the boat being late
it was largely dispensed with.
The meeting held in G. A. r.
Hall, and during the early part OF the
evening was of a secret nature. AT
nine o'clock the doors were thrown
open to the public. The evening was
spent very pleasantly.
National Councillor McClary, OF Pitts
burg, made a stirring address and ex-
emplified the unwritten work OF the
order. He was followed by State Secre-
tary of Ohio w. p. Thompson, in a
patriotic address. In his remarks he
stated that on last evening he had In
stituted Council at Bellaire, with forty
one charter members. At the conclu-
sion of the addresses, refreshments
were served by the Daughters to the
visiting Councils. The order in this
city is spreading rapidly and is doing
much good.

The First Baptist Church.

The spacious auditorium of the First
Baptist Church was packed on Sunday
night. The sermon by the pastor, Rev.
DIR. Flippo on ''Immortality and the
separate state Of the soul after the
death of the body" was listened to
with riveted attention. From the
Scripture alone the preacher clearly
proved that death did not end all. The
text was chosen from 1st Cor, 1853 and
Luke 16., 22-23 At the close of the
sermon Mrs. William Lunsford was i'm
mersed by the pastor. Surely there
never was q more beautiful baptism
The tall, graceful form Of the candidate,
the perfect composure and almost an
gelic countenance rising from the
watery grave mado lasting impress
sion on the great congregation and
many were moved to tears. The music
was exceptionally good. The soft,
sweet melodious strains OF the violin in
the hands of Mr.. Willie Wright added
greatly to the service of song in the
sanctuary. Rev. e. j. HOLIDAY, of
Salem, preached an excellent sermon at
the morning service.

a HORSE THIEF CAUGHT.
The Story ola. J. Asher's Dep
relations.
ROANOKE TIMES BUREAU,
~ PULASKI. VA. Nov. @

PULASKI, VA, NOV. y. !
For the past two years horse stealing
has been. going on in Pulaski and
Wythe counties, COW or heifer occa-
sionally disappearing as we'll.
On the night of September IA J. A.
Hedgecock lost Inc black driving
mare. He secured several counties in
search of her, and advertised quite lib
orally. The search was fruitless, but
the advertisement in the Pulaski
News led to her recovery and the cap
ture of the man who is probably re-
sponsible for the stealing OF a dozen
to twenty horses.
C. w. Carter, near Newbern, veteri-
nary surgeon and cattlo dealer, read
the advertisement and put himself in
communication with friends in sur
rounding counties. Friday he got a
letter placing the lost mare in Floyd
county, forty-five miles from Pulaski.
Saturday morning, with Joe Bones as
companion. he started for Floyd, and on
the farm of John w. Wertz there also
was horse recently stolen from Cal
laghan at Newberry's Mills, Wythe
county, and another strange animal.
Mr.. Wertz is gentleman of known in
tegrity, and he told the following story,
embodying the facts over his hand and
seal and under oath for use in court
ION tho morning Of the 18th Of Sep
TENDER, 1891, on my return from Roa-
noke, learned from my family that A.
j. Asper, of Pulaski county, came to my
house Tuesday evening, September Is,
riding small black mare about seven
years old. On the evening of the 18th
Asper returned and arranged to board
his mare, as sho wouldn't work. he
said"
Asper had also rented farm near
Wertz, and that gentleman is his surety
for S225 rent He probably meant to
stock this farm with the fruits of his
villiany.
Carter and Bones brought the Hedge
cock mare home, reaching here at IL
o'clock Sunday night. This morning at
daylight, accompanied by six more men,
they surrounded Asper's house, about a
mile and half from town, and effected
his capture. Squire Stuart gave him a
hearing and sent him on. He is now
safe in Newbern Jail.
The Callaghan horse will probably be
proven tomorrow. Carter says there
are rumors of several other strange
horses in that section, and he SUSPECTS
Asper of stealing at least twenty.
Asper has borne bad reputation.
and some time ago attempted to kill a
man in quarrel. Las. spring he eluded
arrest on another charge by escaping
through window.

CAPT. BARGER TO LEAVE.

To become General Train Master of the
Pulaski and N. c. Divisions.
Capt. D. II. Barger, train master of
the North Carolina extension, will leave
here by December / to go to Radford
and become general train mastor of the
Pulaski and North Carolina divisions. E.
f. North, who has been train master of
the Pulaski division bradford to Bris-
tol), has resigned and left the State.
Captain Barger will have resident
assistant at Pulaski and Mr.. j. b.
Thomas will probably be appointed to
that position. Mr.. Thomas is q fine
young fellow and Pulaski can rest as
sured of good train service with Barger
behind the throne and Thomas ON it.
Capt. Barger is one of the few Virgin
ians holding prominent positions in the
Norfolk and Western system. He be-
gan railroading nearly seventeen years
ago as agent at New River; then was
promoted to Saltville, the third station
in Importance on the road at that time.
He is great organizer and the COM
pany soon took him out of depot work
and he has organized every piece of
work undertaken by the company since,
including the Elkhorn extension, the
work at Bluefield and the Clinch Val
ley extension.
He has been in Pulaski year, and
from pell-mell disorder of freight NOV
ing has evolved a perfectly ordered
yard.
Captain Barger will either be made
superintendent of the Ohio extension or
the North Carolina extension, when fin
ished, He prefers the latter, as he says
in his seventeen years of railroading he
has never been with as pleasant set of
business men as are at Pulaski and
along the Cripple Creek road.

by the reversible sidesaddle. This
recent invention is very much like
any other sidesaddle, except that
the two pommels, instead of being fixed.
screw into the saddle on either side.
The screw holes arc closed when not in
use by plugs covered with leather like
the saddle. To transfer the pommels,
girth and stirrups from one side to the
other is the work of about two minutes.
Mr.. Cohn says it seems decidedly awk-
ward to woman on first mounting
with the left knee forward and the right
foot in the stirrup, but it isn't like
learning 10 ride over again. They soon
get used TO it. The custom of the own
