AN EQUINE HERO.
A Horse That Has Made Itself Famous
By Taking Trip on the b. & o. Bridge
at Parkersburg

One of the Transfer Co.'S horses
accomplished a great feat on Satur-
day night.
The incident created considerable
excitement and was the topic Of CON
versation everywhere.
1t all occurred as follows: About
1880 o'clock after the departure of
the Cincinnati train the horse and
wagon were standing on the street
opposite the b. d 0. passenger de-
pot. In the absence of the driver
the animal became frightened and
started on run toward Avery street
but instead of going down Sixth at
either side of the bridge it ran upon
the bridge the wheels of the wagon
inside the rails. 1t continued run
ming at a pretty good gait going
along on the ties.
Harry Robinson climbed up the
pier at Market street and attempted
to stop the animal but it continued
on. He and General Partridge fol-
lowed the horse on the bridge and
when it had reached point nearly
at Ann street and had slackened its
pace, Partridge ran out on the edge Of
the ties at the side of the horse and
grabbing the rein brought it to stop
and Robinson procured a lantern to
signal an approaching train.
Several other parties had arrived
by this time and they unhitched the
wagon and backed it down off the
bridge without much difficulty The
horse was turned around and was
coming along nicely down the bridge
until it was about midway between
Market and Juliana when its legs
went down between the ties, and then
the real trouble began, and hundreds
of people who had heard of the oc-
currence had gathered on the streets
below, standing around in the rain,
offering suggestions as to how the
horse could be removed
Those on the bridge were in a
quandary. The horse was there, and
be was fast, but how to get him out
stumped them. Some one suggested
that the B. q O. crane car be pro
cured and the horse lifted up on a
gondola and and brought down in
that manner. A yard engine and
gondola were backed out to the scene
but it was found that they were use
less. Then skid was procured, the
horse was lifted up bodily by large
force of men, his legs were secured
and he was placed on the skid and
he was dragged to the foot of the
bridge and released, and to-day
be is doing duty, has made himself
famous and escaped with only a few
scratches. He was on the bridge
about two hours, and everybody Won
dered how it managed to accomplish
the feat without breaking its neck.

Saturday workmen engaged in dig
ging a ditch for water pipe in front
of Noah Zane's residence, a few
miles from Wheeling, fonnd a skele-
ton in the ground at depth of sew
eral feet. 1t was evident that the
bones had been buried many years,
as they crumbled in few minutes,
and only the teeth were really sound.
Nobody has any idea whose bones
these were, but it is probable they
are a relic of very early times in the
history of this section of country.
Last Sunday morning Bakerton,
Jefferson county, suffered from fire
to the extent of about $15, 900 The
plant of the Washington Building
Lime Company was located at that
village, which was created by the en-
terprise of Messrs Baker Brothers in
establishing there the lime burning
industry. The kilns were of the most
modern kind, thoroughly protected
by immense sheds. Eight B. & o.
freight cars also burned. The loss
is estimated at $4,000 Insured for
$4,000.

near Joppling school house, about
two and one half miles from the city,
they stopped to rest for short time

fell asleep. They were awakened by
two negroes who pointed revolvers
to their heads ana demanded their
money, which they promptly gave up
and the robbers departed in the di-
rection OF the city with So in their
possession. Persons who passed
Smith and Bowman on the way have
since reported that nearer to Charles
ton they passed two colored men 60

believed they followed the wagon.

Industry frequently takes unheard

The death by his own hand of
Guenther Schnelle makes a tragic
ending to series of sensational
events. The deliberate murder Of
his uncle, DR.. c. SChuchardt, and
his vain attempt to take his own
life, his conviction and confinement
in the penitentiary, and his subse
quent removal TO the asylum for the
insane, caused too much of a sensa-
tion at the time to have been forgot
ten, The squabble over his murder
ed uncle's property, and the attempt
to carry off trunk full of coin,
which only failed because the trunk
broke with the weight of its contents,
and the more recent report that DR..
Schuchardt's body had been stolen
from the grave, added to the sensa-
tional features of the case, which
now has a fitting climax.
Queer world! Queer people
Here are men and women by thous-

many people are willing to be sick
when the remedy's so near at hand.

ON the above as follows:
Why did not the Attorney General
then discover the limitations of power
and see that the bill was so raned as
to be constitutional? The World
urgently pointed out the necessity for
such caution at the time, and the re-
ply uniformly was that the Attorney
Generals office had thoroughly Goa
sidered that matter. How comes it,
then, that the moment the law is
questioned the best the Attorney Gen.

no case and prav the court "to make

A CoNsUMPTIvE COW.

A year ago DR.. I. E. White, of
this city, assistant state veterinary
surgeon, made a diagnosis of certain
fine Pettis county Jersey COW and
came to the conclusion that she had
consumption.
This afternoon, in a stable-yard on
Usage street, the afflicted Jersey was
knocked in the head with an axe and
killed. Upon an examination of her
lungs it was found that at least two
thirds of them were covered with
tubercles. The diagnosis was correct.

THE SUNDAY OUTING.

There is no doubt whatever that
argue as we may against the Sunday
outing in warm weather, there are
scores of people who cannot find any
harm in it and hence parks are as
much ola necessity to city as places
of amusement. Indeed it may safely
be asserted that outside of seeing a
man surrounded with his family In
the church, there is no more beautiful
sight than to see man sur
rounded by his family enjoying the
waving trees, the springing grass, the
fresh pure air and the golden sum
shine of a park.
Certainly there are always sermons
in any of Gods creations and nature
is always soothing, always holy,
when we choose to find her as she
exists. What if there are wicked
people who go to the parks for recre-
alton on Sunday and probably find it
in q doubtful way? Would they
be any better, cooped within the
brick and mortar barricade of city
Would the churches hold them, would

A FETTY LARCENY OUTRAGE.

The boasted liberality of the late
Barnum and the so-called Forepaugh
shows is strikingly illustrated by the
fact that children. no matter how
young, are charged from % to so
cents, and the Doors ut the door arbi-

the question of age in connection
with half price admission. Moreover.
when once inside, the patron finds
himself subjected to the extortion of
paying fifty cents extra for decently

refuses is hustled with his ladies and
title ones into seats at the ends of the

Mr.. BASSETT WINS.

Mr.. William III. Basset of Paris
Monroe county, No., a young gentle
man well known to many of the Jour.
mars readers, left his home in Paris
on the 18th day of November, 1889,
to visit Miss May Eskridge. of Kan
sas City, in accordance with a prev.
ious engagement fixed by correspond.
ence. At Moberly he left the Cal
for refreshments and it left him. Thi:
was on Sunday and Bassett, desiring
to notify the young lady that he
could not get there to take her TO
church in the morning as be intended,
sent her this telegram "Shall cal
on the arrival of 7:45 train this morn
ing" He wrote across the face Of
the Message "This is a work OF
necessity and is received as such"
The message was not delivered and
Mr.. Bassett sued the company fol
TWO hundred dollars, for which he
got judgment in the Monroe county
circuit court.
The telegraph company took the
case to the St. Louis court of appeals
and that court affirmed the decision
of the lower court last Tuesday.
The opinion of the court was
written by Judge Biggs, who said :
SIN the present case it was eminently
proper for the plaintiff TO notify Miss
Eskridge that he could not reach Kansas
City in time TO keep his engagement. He
owed this much to her. We can not agree
with defendants counsel that the law can
not recognize such thing as 8 soc al duty
or social necessity"
Social duties, from a moral standpoint,
are Just as obligatory as business engage
ments, and out OF such obligations social
necessities arise. Hence we think that an
act done on Sunday through a social neces-
sity, such as the sending of the Geographic
message 10 this case, would coma uader the
exception of the statute. We have not
been able to find sn acjudica;ed case like
this, but We are satisfied hat our conclu-
sions are not opposite to the true spirit OF
The law"
The Journal heartily endorses the
decision and suggests that the young
men Of the state present Mr.. Bassett
with handsome gold watch and
chain, or, better s'il' perhaps, an ele'
CANT suit of furniture, as an evidence
of their appreciation of his efforts in
their behalf.
