Appearances indicate that this
will be crop year. Farmers will write
a large amount of hail insurance, as it
always halls on rainy seasons. Parties
who make the subject study tell US
that, during the summer months, we
seldom have a rain storm but what it
halls in some portion Of the state. This
is proven by the fact that The Water
town Hail Indemnity Association paid
loss to one out of every five policy
holders during the season of 1891.

The farmers have this spring
shown their rustling quantities. Be-
tween showers they have seeded a
large acreage to wheat and oats in this
county than last year. The grain is
coming up nicely, and if there are on
mishaps an abundant harvest will be
the result.
Owing to the unpleasant weather
last Thursday there was no meeting OF

OF our most honored and respected
citizens, was instructed by our EGoet
honorable district judge Mr.. NOonan,
Of which every good citizen OF
this county feels proud, to in
vestigate the books of the
county and city officers. When
this grand jury asked for the books OF
some city officers, what did Mr..
Callaghan do? He protested against
any inves igation, he even went so far
as to try to buIldoze our honorable dis
riet Judge. He surely got left on
that. Why did Mr.. Cailagh han protest
against the investigation of the
books? Did he know that there was
something wrong with the books? -
Well, the grand jury did find some
thing wrong with the books ana
brought indictments against Mr.. Cal
Iaghan and other officers. Every
citizen will remember, that this ia
nous grand jury had to go into jail
by order of judge King who claimed
con tempt OF court. think judge
King ought to do the same thing,
with the s. A. and A. p. rail rosd in
vestigstion going on.
Now to another question. 1t is q
known fact that a county judge ought
to be and must be in his Office every
day to keep up with the work con.
nected with the office of county and
probate Judge. Will Mr.. Callaghan,
who is used to travel six months In a
wear in every direction of the COM
pass, will he do the work? L claim
that he will not do it.
Ihad closed the above comnunica-
ton when friend called on me and

will add to the foregoing. After
reading above statements ne said:
You ought to be careful now, espe-
cially so as the ring crowd knows

you said, that I stated only facts,

I will 90 further and say, II Mr.. Cal

me that 1, in any of my statements
are mistaken, / will cnrrect same and
will do so publicly. But | am afraid
they can not do it," Yours truly,

AGAIN STOLE HER CHILD
And Departed For Parts Unknown
Man Arrested ON Charge Of
Assisting Abduction.

A correspondent from the edge OF
the county sends the following Sc
quail to the famous case of Cerbly
Anderson's many trials in maintain
ing the custody ofhis little daugh-
ter. 1t will be remembered that
when Judge Hagans granted the de-
cree of divorce to Anderson, he was
also given the custody of his child.
The mother by some means got pos
session of the child. The case was
again partly reheard here, and An
derson placed in charge of the child
again. Now our correspondent sends
the following:
"The Anderson vs. Anderson troub-
lie was opened again last week. The
little girl was attending the Harri-
son school, about two miles from
here. She has been under the con
troll of her father, Corbly Anderson,
since April. Mrs Anderson had NOT
seen their child since about that
time, and has been away and unheard
of for the past few months. On the
above named date, Mrs Anderson
and a Mr.. Hoffman, of Fairview
came to the school and took the
little girl away. They went to Nor
gantown, Mrs. Anderson and hel
child took the boat for parts I'M
known. Mr.. Hoffman returned tc
Fairview and Mr.. Anderson had him
arrested for assisting in the abduc
tion of his little girl. He was taken
before Squire Taught, last Wednes
day and gave bond for his appear

Decision In the Pines Case.

At Waynesburg on Monday Judge
Ewing's decision on the motion for
a new trial in the Pipes Huffman
murder case of which our readers are
familiar was made known by Judge
Inghram in open conrt. The decis-
ion refused second trial. The pun
ishment agreed upon by Judge Ew-
ing and associate Judges John and
McClelland WAS also in the hands OF
Judge Inghram, sealed. The counsel
for the defense objected to sentence
being passed in such manner, assert
ing that it would be illegal. Sentence
will, therefore, be withheld until
Judge Ewing is here again in his le-
gal capacity, which will probably be
in January. Pipes crime was shoot
ing Porter Huffman, whom he saw
coming out of his stable.

Miracle Run Matters.

MIRACLE Run, Dec. l0.-The new
church is nearly completed. a
Thomas LeMasters has been on The
sick list for some time.
Abraham Shriver was visiting friends
on Days Run last week He has nearly
recovered from the injuries received in
September by log.
Mr.. I. S. Stiles did not teach Monday,
as he was a witness in the Anderson
Hoffman suit.
Vim. futile, Elias Tenant, Alfred
and j. b. Fordyce were at Morgantown
on business first OF the week.
The elements were pretty badly stirred
here or last Saturday night. Mr.. Andrew
jackson was to have show at the school
house and word came, tits reported, that
the Ponetowners would be on hands to
break up the performance. So the Fair
view braves came to see that the show
would be protected, and both sides hav-
ing little "fire water" things were
pretty lively, some knocked down and II
it hadn't been for the moon giving too
much light there would no doubt be a few
heads be wearing bandages, as there was
plenty of small stones carried on the
ground. The Ponetown boys then got
air OF wedding that was to be Sunday
morning at Mr.. Aft. Wilson's, who re-
sides between here and Ponetown. Here
the Ponetown boys were all to themsel-
YES and quite a lively time they had UNI
til Sunday morning. The report is that
the fire-tongs and iron wedge was used
to preserve order, and that a number OF
the boys procuring lively young horse
went after the clergyman TO marry the
couple. After securing the preacher and
having him to mount the intended horse,
they let loose and away they started like
so many Indians after the preacher.
Their yells so frightened his spirited
horse that it ran of with him and in
short time he was leaving them far be-
hind. The couple were married, but all
did not get to partake OF tho feast.

evening after Christmas, and it will

diminutive aerial beings, which, in

pleasing powers over mankind. The
makers of this fairyland and the ell
fins who will people it are the young
folks of the Presbyterian church,
and they will have been long enough
there to tell us a great deal of it in

STOLE A WATCH.
And Two Pairs Of Pantalo0ns And Es.
capes.

Yesterday morning Clifford Ridg-
way, who lives just across the line
in Fayette county, came to this
place and swore out warrant for
the arrest of Michael Gaul, who had
stolen two pairs of pantaloons and a
gold watch valued at $75, from his
boarding house. Gaul was traced
to Morgantown and would have been
arrested by Sergeant Turner but for
the fact that he had seen two other
men who we're also on his track and
who boarded the $50 train here.
After the train left Gaul sauntered
back into town and by remarkable
coincidence walked in Sergeant Tur-
ner's house and asked for his break
fast. Turner and Ridgway were at
the table and the latter exclaimed
there he is" Gaul took to his
heels with the Sergeant in hot pur-
suit. Near the Victor Mills Turner
fell on the ice and hurt his kpee so
badly that the THE outran him and
escaped. He is probably out of
reach now. Had the case been put
in the Sergeant's hands alone there
is little doubt that he would have

DIED WHILE SLEEPING.
The Sudden Taking Of of Elijah South,
near Mt. Morris.

Elijah South was found dead IN
his bead at the home of his brother
in-law, c. H. Lemley. near the Mon
ongalia line in Greene county, on
Sunday morning last: The cause of
his death is mystery. DR.. S. Nor
ris gave as his opinion that he died
of paralysis of the heart.
The deceased was known far and
wide by the appellation of doc"
The majority Of his acquaintance
knew him by that name alone. He
was SO years old, and was one of the
prominent South family who live on
the Greene Monongalia border, on
both sides ofthe line, and brother
Of Justos South of this place. He
had never married, and for the past
10 years had boarded with Mr..
Lemley. On Saturday he worked
all day, and did not complain Of
WEAKNESS in the evening. He re-
tired at the usual hour that night.
His brother Nicholas South occupi-
the same room with him. The sun
was high on Sunday morning when
Nicholas remarked that it was time
to get up. There was no reply to
! this, and that was thought strange
as he had always been an early riser.
The family had all finished break
fast and they all remarked that it
was peculiar that doc" didn't come
down. Some members of the family
decided to arouse him. The first
touch apon his hand, which was out
side the coverlet, disclosed the sad
fact that it had been chilled by
death. His posture and expression
were of man calmly and peacefully
slumbering. There had been no
struggle. Death came to him in
slumber. just at what time the dis
solution of soul and body occurred
10 mortal knows. He had been dead
several hours evidently when found.
doc" South was well known all
over this county, especially so on the
West side of the river. His farm
laid for the most part in Clay dis
trict, extending into Greene county.
He was of sunny temperament and
particularly fond of all manner of
innocent amusement. His remains
were inferred at Taylortown, under
the auspices of the l. .. @. F., of
Mt Morris, of which he had for years
been an honored member.
