NO JURY OF OUR PEERS.

The Martinsburg HERALD has
the jimjams. Shepherdstoac1a
Register.
This is Columbus year and
amid all the great triumphs of
progress in thought, word and
deed we celebrate, it must not be
forgotten that there were little
Bro. Snyders in his time and they
said he was cranky and had the
jimjams. In fact the little, petty,
pecking davis were in the major
ity and Columbus only had half
dozen friends to back him. The
little Bro. Snyders and Gallahers
of his time knew everything /;
they were for sticking to the
past they excited passion, pre-
JUDGE and persecution and greed
and envy, and made life misera-
bic for the great Columbus, just
as the same class do yet for any
man or party that goes ahead
and appeals to new ideas ofmod-
ern enlightenment. We have
seen it in this country. Ben.
Franklin and Washington had
the jimjams. Grant and Lincoln
had the jimjams, and the Regis
ter and its ilk has neverforgiven
these men, but appeals to the
past, to ignorance, to prejudice,
to passion, to deception, to false
hood, to win their political and
personal battles. Every age has
its little Bro. Snyders ct al. We
plead guilty to having the "iim
jams of modern progress and
enlightenment in our humble
way as an advocate and follower
as best we can of the great men
who live in history. Every man
must be tried by a jury of his
peers, and not by a dead dog in
the pit of the past. Therefore the
Registers indictment is quashed
at the cost of its ignorance and
prejudice and the case dismissed
by the court of public opinion.
Rub your eyes and look again.

WICHERS TELLS HIS STORY.
Stories Were Brought to Him About
His Wife's DOings,
He Intended to Kill Himself and not
His Wife-The Case Taken
Under Advisement.

The now celebrated Wichers divorce
case was brought to a close late Saturday
afternoon in Superior Judge Catlin's
court.
The entire day was occupied by the
witnesses for Fred Wichers, the defend
ant. Wichers took the stand himself and
denied that he had ever been cruel to his
wife. He declared though that she had
nearly driven him to distraction by her
actions. Stories had been brought to him
by neighbors and friends about his wi.e's
intimacy with other men and he pleaded
with her to be true to him. He admitted
that he would get excited on these oc-
casiOns.
Mrs. Richardson told me-" said
Wichers, that she received letter from
my wife in which she said she hated me
and had a right to go with other men.
Mr.. Ball told me that everybody had
been expecting a shooting match in Wal
nut Grove, as 1t was common talk about
Mrs. Wichers and Frank Faliman. John
Miller told me that there had been talk
of giving me a coat of tar and feathers be-
cause there was so much talk about Mrs.
Wichers and Fallman that people be-
lieved that l knew about it and did not
object"
Regarding the occasions when he
flOurished pistol in his Wife's presence
Wichers said he purchased the pistol
originally in San Francisco for the pur-
pose of killing a man he expected to find
with his wife when he went home to Wal
nut Grove. The next time he exhibited
the pistol, as complained of by the wife
(and when she declares that he was going
to kill her, Wichers said he had been so
humiliated by his wife that he went into
the house and got the pistol for the pur-
pose of killing himself. He declared that
he had no intention of harming his wife
This concluded the evidence and the
attorneys made their arguments, A. l.
Hart and w. a. Gett talking for the hus-
band and Grove L. Johnson for the Wife
Judge Catlin then took the case under
advisement.

GAMBLERS RAIDED.
Crap-Playing Kids Scattered by a ]
of IoOlfoa

Crap-Playing Kids Scattered by Body
of Police.
Officers Lowell, Cox and Warner raided
and suppressed a crap game yesterday,
which was being conducted in defiance Of
the law, and frightened the gamesters out
Of about year or two's growth.
For some time a number of boys under
16 and over or five years of age, have
been resorting to the alley between X and
l., Second and Third streets, and playing
at ''craps." About twenty Of the lads
were there yesterday afternoon, and were
so buslly engaged in watching the result
of the dice game and betting their nickels
that they did not notice the approach of
Officer Cox in ciuZen's clothes.
That official grabbed the two boys who
kept the 'bank," and said in his
most dangerous tone: Il want you,
and yOuW and at the same time displayed
his star, which look ed as large to the BOYS
as a locomotive headlight.
There was a frantic stampede of about
eighteen young gamblers, while the other
two shrank up in their clothes in the
clutches of Officer Cox.
The eighteen ran rapidly for fifty yards
and SO intently watched for pursuit from
the rear, that they ran into the arms of
Lowell and Warner, and were stricken
with terror.
Hemmed in from all escape from the
alley. the boys resorted to diplomacy and
began to explain that they were all Sun
day-school boys, never gambled, were
only playing gamble and one or two
began to try to cry, with fair success.
The officers finally told them the Jail
was crowded, or they would take them
in, and then permitted them to go. They
propose, however to fix up the "hobo'
cell especially for boys, and turn all the
crap-players into it for the winter.

THE OFFICIAL COUNT.
The Supervisors Formally Announce
the Victorious Candidates.
Supervisor Bates and County Clerk
Rhoads Have a Tilt-Both
Were Stubborn.

The Board of Supervisors, by hurry
ing its force of clerks, succeeding in fin
ishing up the official tally sheets of the
late election late Saturday afternoon.
The total number of votes cast for each
candidate, according to the official count,
is given in this issue of the RECORD
UNION.
The official list shows that 9,397 ballots
were cast in the county. Still, there We're
only S,822 votes for Presidential Electors,
showing that $40 voters did not vote for
President at all. Singular as this may
appear, more remarkable fact is that
while this number failed to vote for
Electors, ana seventy-nine of them failed
to vote for Sheriff, demonstrating..that.th
fight for that Office was of more i'm
portance to many than the Presidential
contest.
AS has been before announced the
official count developed no changes of
importance from the unofficial returns
! first published. ON Neil'S majority over
McMullen for Sheriff remains Just eighty
seven.
When the tally sheets were complete
Chairman Greer formally read OF the
list OF victorious candidates and declared
them elected. After this had been done
supervisor Bates wanted to know why
Clerk Rhoads did not make an entry Of
the boards action in his minute book.
The Clerk explained that he was not in
! the habit of writing up his minutes i'm
mediately; he only kept rough minutes
while the board was in sessi,.l.
Mr. Bates riled up then. and said he
didn't care a rap whether it was rough
minutes or not, or what the Clerk was in
the habit OF doing, but he was going TO
see that an entry was made Of the board $
action, and right away, too.
This caused Clerk Rhoads to warm up,
too, and he retorted that he'd "be id if
he would please Bates, and would write
up the minutes when he got good and
ready"
Chairman Greer tried to pour oil on the
troubled waters, but both Bates and the
Clerk had their dander up" and were as
stubborn as Government mules. Bates
finally made motion that the Clerk be
ordered to enter up the minutes. Clerk
Rhoads said if he started in on the min
utes he would write up the whole days
proceedings before he touched the partic-
ular matter that Bates wanted, and that
would take couple of hours.
"Au right" said Mr.. Bates throw
ing himself back in his chair, and
putting his feet on his desk, Wen wait
here for you. Pm going to have these
minutes written up."
The Clerk took out his books and
started in. Neither would give in, and
the board had to wait for an hour. The
entry was finally made.

James Connors was arrested yesterday
morning in Washington and locked up
i'll the City Jail here on charge Of ma
HciOus mischief.
1t seems that Connors acquired a jag,
and while laboring under its influence he
went into the City Hotel, on this side of
the river and threw a beer-glass through
a valuable mirror
Then he returned to Washington, where
he entered a saloon and playfully threw
chair through window, and otherwise
distinguished himself.
After his arrest a man appeared at the
police station and accused Connors of
having robbed him on the street. If his
story should be substantiated evidence
enough may be produced to convict Con-
nors of the latter charge.

The building, being of brick, only the

burned, the damage amounting to about
$1,000. The property is owned by 1.

in contining the flames to the place in
