He is a lawyer by profession, not a bus

he brought with him into the state any
thing in the way OF property. During
his brief career at Charleston he has
had a number OF personal difficulties.
One time, he struck down the mayor Of
Charleston, an old man. At another
time he struck United states Marshal
White, because he quietly said some
thing about the burial Of jeff Davis,
which angercd the fierce blood Of the

Phltppi Republican.
Al the Parkersburg Democratic con-
vention Perry Simpson, of Mason
county, an old gray haired paFtiean, in
speech announced that he had voted
the Democratic ticket ever since he was
old enough and had attended every
Democratic convention held in the
state since 1868, and, he very truthfully
added, that no had seen a Democratic
majority dwindle from 1900 until
there was none left and 1t required a
special act OF the legislature TO put
"thei" governor in!
At the close OF tho Huntington con-
yention Hon. 6. w. Atkinson moved,
and tho motion was enthusiastically
carried, to present the flowers on the
chairman's stand to Miss Livia Simp-
son, tho editor OF the Point Pleasant
Gazette, who was present at the press
tables. In returning her thanks for
the compliment Miss Simpson took &C.
casion to make as good a little speech
as was made during the convention, in
the course OF which che called atten-

ter Of this same Perry Simpson and had
not therefore lacked Democratic train
ing, but that she had found the Demo-
cratic party narrow and unprogressiye,
and had therefore been compelled to
change her views; that, while her
father had the advantage over her OF
being able himself TO vote, she would
nevertheless see to it that more votes
were cast for Republicanism than he
would cast for Democracy. She said
she pitied the old Democrat, and could
make allowances for years OF preiu-
diCes that had fastened themselves upon
him, but she had no pity and little for
bearance for live, active young man
who would ally himself and stay with a
party so old, dead, narrow and unpro-
gressive. 1t was an instructive scene
and an instructive speech made by this
handsome and animated young lady,
who frankly told her reasons for her
new faith, born in the intelligence, in
tuition and honesty OF womanhood.

Court Proceedings.

The Circuit Court was occupied the
whole of last week 10 the trial of an action
Of Trespass brought by Peter s. Smith
against Daniel Suydam. The plaintiff re-
sides about two miles west OF Pennington,
and the defendant owns farm west OF
and on higher ground than the land Of the
plaintiff. II was claimed for the plaintiff
that formerly the drainage from large
portion OF the defendants farm was car
Iied eastwardly by ditch to point near a
pin oak ridge, and thence ran Northeastern
ly along the ridge 10 the road leading from
Pennington to Croton; that some ten or
twelve years ago the defendant extended
the ditch running eastwardly, through the
pin oak ridge and across another field,
and closed up the old course TO the
Croton road, and that this action caused
great damage to the plaintiff, 10 that large
quantities Of water were discharged from
the new ditch, which ran upon the lands
OF the plaintiff, washing his fields, iujurlng
his crops, and rendering part of his land
untillable 10 the proper season. The de-
PENDANT insisted that the water from the
lands drained by the. ditch never ran to
tho Croton road, except upon one &C.
casion Gin 1870 when the water broke
through the bank Of the ditch, which
break was repaired the same year, and
that the ditch running eastwardly had al
way extended through the pin oak ridge
to It's present ending. A number OF wit
nesses testified positively to the facts al
legged by the plaintiff as to the old course Of
the water to the Croton road, and the end
ing OF the ditch west Of the pin oak ridge,
while large number were equally GER
tain that the water never ran 10 the Gro
Ton road, but always followed the ditch
as at present located, to its outlet at the
top of the hill. The jurors went to view
the premises on Saturday, and the Court
charged them on Monday.

--0ne OF fbc sad results OF the fearful
thunder storm which ragged over this vicln-
ity for several hours last Saturday night
and Sunday morning, was the killing by
lightning Of Mrs. George Lunger, Of
Cherryville. Mrs. Lunger arose from bed
soon after the storm began, saying to her
husband that she would pass into an ad-
joining room and look out Of the window,
as it was laundering and lightning so.
She Just reached the window as q light
ming bolt struck the corner OF the house,
ran along the caves until directly over this
window, and then shot downward, strik-
Mrs. Lunger in the breast and killing her
instantly, and setting her night dress on
fire. Her husband saw her fall, and quick
ly going to her succeeded In extinguishing
the FIRE. She was only little over 80
years Of age. Her maiden name was An
derson, and she was a granddaughter Of
the late Elisha Runkle. 1t was in the old
Ruukle homestead that the awful calamity
took place. She leaves small family OF
children. No such electric and thunder
storm has occurred hereabouts 10 a long
while. There was fall Of hail while the
storm ragged, and the rain seemed to fall
in solid body. - Hsaaterdon Democrat.
