THOROUGHLY RELIARLE.

The drug store Of Mr. G. H. Wolfes,
conducted by Mr.. Chas. Snyder, on
East Burke, street, well deserves the
patronage it enjoys. 1t is wellknown
that a full stock Of pure drugs, chemi-
Gals and toilet requisites are carried.
Mr.. Snyder fully realizes the grave re-
sponsibility resting upon those who
prepare prescription for medical use,
and is careful in compromising the
same. Both are thoroughly honest
and upright and of course enjoy the
confidence and esteem of all, and the
lives Of the people who take the drugs
viii be as safe with him as in their
pocket books.
The interior Of hisstore is very nicely
arranged to display everything to the
best effect and for convenience. We
are glad to note that this gentleman's
efforts to supply the public have met
with pecuniary reward and pleased
to hear of his increasing trade.

Yesterday morning, in the Circuit
Court for Alleghaney County, the case
against John W. Avirctt, editor aud
proprietor Of the Cumberland Times,
was called for trial. The Indictment
charges Mr.. Avirett with criminal libel
upon the court, Judge Hoffman,
States Attorney Sloan, Clerk Luman
and sheriff Warwick The indictment
sets forth that the article complained
Of charges these officials with having
entered into a bargain with tho dive
keepers in Cumberland whereby they
were to enjoy immunity from punish-
ment in consideration of their political
support. 4 strong effort was made
by the defence to secure acontinuance
Of the ease, but the motion was over
ruled BY the court. Tho defence then
filed their pleas in abatement, attack
ing the mode in which the jurors were
selected and drawn by the court, and
alleging that the jurors were disquali.
fed and that the indictment was I'M
valid. The State demurred to two Of
the pleas and joined issues on the
other. In passing upon the demulu~
ers the court reviewed the Indictment
and, after elaborate argument. the
pleas Of defense were held to be bad
and the indictment sufficient. Tcsti-
mony was taken upon the plea upon
which issue was joined, and at adj
journment the court held the matter
sub curia. Every legal point decided
thus far has been settled against the
accused. The court was not in ses-
sion to-day on account Of the funeral
Of the late VIM. Walsh. The Avirett
case Is attracting widespread atten-
ton. Messrs. VIM. J. Read and
Thomas J. Peddicord represents the
State, and Messrs. Boyd, Semmes,
Williams, Devecmon and Wilson the
defence. Judge Hoffman and States
Attorney Sloan take no part in the
case.

Gle officers win make hard effort 10
delay matters. and in the meantime
levy assessments fast and heavy and
drive of as many members as possible
Fraud and breaches Of trust on the
part Of the trustees have been proven
is What the judges said IN their recent
decision in this case. The case may
be taken to the Court Of Appeals, but
when two judges are moved to such
strong language BY the testimony, ii
Is hardly probable that the decision
would be reversed by higher court.
The result il but what could be ex-
.pected where a concern. as bond asso-
Citations must be, are run on .spros-
pects.s Take for instance 100 men
entering an association with a guar
antee that they can can draw out ST.
600 at the end Of seven years. Then
do little figuring and see, If you can,
where the money is to come from.
These 100 men pay 50 admission fee
each; in all $500. They also pay $3.50
upon each assessment, and a provision
of the bylaws makes more than 100
assessments impossible. That would
make these 100 men, if they all re-
manned in the association, pay SO, 800
into the treasury. Assume that the
interest on all the money paid IN Is 3
per cent. per year, which Is fair, and
salaries are not taken out, and yon
have grand total Of available money
at the end Of seven years of s20, 800,
with which the concern agrees to pay
800, 900 to the 100 men. The hackers
Of these concerns calculate upon 4 GER
tain percentage Of lapses, but still very
few people are foolish enough to be-
lieve that these lapses can increase the
revenue Of the association 800 per
cent.
Now the judges have used strong
language in connection with this
American fraternal circle case. They
evidently believe that they have good
grounds for strong words or they
would not use them. II they have
good grounds for accusing these Off.
GERS Of fraud and breaches Of trust,
then there Is also ground for the grand
jury to 10 their sworn duty and return
indictments against the officers of thi,
concern. The jury cannot do less than
Investigate this matter 1t is their
duty to sift il to the bottom.

that the present extra assessment or.

AT RRIpGEPoRT.

The municipal election took place yes
tarday at Bridgeport. All three wards,
namely, Etnaville, Bridgeport and
Kirkwood voted at the City Hall.
throughout the day electioneers on
both sides were putting forth untirlng
efforts TO bring out the vote, which was
accordingly done, nearly eight hundred
votes being pOlled. This is certainly a
remarkable record for a corporation
ticket to.bring out.
There were but two tickets placed
in the field, one Republican and the
other one known as a Citizens ticket,
which consisted principally OF strong
Democrats. The Citizens ticket came
not victorious, considering that the
town is largely Republican. The Dem
ocrats are naturally congratuiating
themselves on the result.
The vote in detail was as follows:
Mayor-Crawford, r., 352; Hattie
MarshaI-Keller, r., $50; Thompson,
c., 414.
Treasurer-Handel, R., sol; Bowie,
c., 443.

Last night about eleven o'clock, while
the votes were still being counted in
the City building at Bridgeport, a great
crowd cougregated around the door
eager 20 hear the returns. The out
Siders started TO discuss the political
situation, the two leading participants
being two we'll known young fellows
about town who each have a different
view Of the subject. After q wrangle
Ed. McAuinch struck Ross Porter a ter
rible blow on the check with his fist, this
did not suffice until me repeated again.
When an officer arrived on the scene
McAniuch had fed, leaving Porter with
a very ugly looking eye and cheek. He
was 40 once taken 10 Dents drug store,
where his wounds were dressed. An eff
fort will be made to-day to find out the
real cause OF the affair, Which may re-
suit in the arrest of several parties.
