Very important to the Ladies'.

A very practical lecture on the Can
ming Of Fruits will be given by Prof
Bits, the last OF this month, and ladie s
receiving Invitations should not fail TO
attend. The lecture was attended by
nearly ! GOO ladies in Pittsburg and the
press of that city says that the Lecturer
received letters from many OF the
prominent ladies endorsing his lecture
and the methods instructed. The methods
of canning tomatoes whole and corn and
vegetables in glass jars without usin g
any preparations are pronounced the
most simple and practical of N odern
times and should meet with favor from
every housekeeper.

THE KIDNAPPING CASE.
The Prosecuting Attorney Makes n Full
investigation.

me prosecuting Attorney ulaheS u uIi
investigation.
Prosecuting Attorney, John A. Row
ard, yesterday, began his investigation
into the unlawful arrest Of Henry
MOlner, the Hungarian, by Constable
McMasters, Of Nit. Pleasant, o., last
Friday, and from the statement of Mr..
Molner it is not only probable that
there will be criminal proceedings for
unlawful arrest, but that case OF rob-
berry will be made out as well against
the Ohio officer. One fact brought out
was that Molner did not have the GER
tifcate of DEPOSIT in his possession when
arrested, but after the Constable took
his prisonefto Ohio, he took him out to
ST. Clairsville, where he was
kept in Jail part of day
and night, and when there were
evidently some proceedings of some
sort. Molner then says he was brought
back to Martins Ferry and locked up
there while Constable Stamp and Mrs.
Molner came over TO this city, and
stamp procured the certificate for $500.
He then returned TO Martins Ferry, re-
leased Moner and gave him fifteen
cents, telling him to get drink of beer
and go home.
Molner said the trouble arose out Of a
proceeding on his part to collect board
bill due him. He attached mans
money and gotS15, although the boarder
owed him more. The man whose money
was attached then started the "subSe-
ouent proceedings" which ended in
Molner's summary removal to Ohio.
The whole proceeding seems, in the
present light, to have been an unlawful
and outrageous one.

"THE STILL ALARM"

THE Still Alarm" will be at the
Opera House Friday and Saturday
evenings. Aside from the realistic
features the play is cleverly construct
ed; it has action, interest and charac-
ter. There is fascination about the
thrilling dramatic incidents, the charm
ing love episodes, and the introduction
Of sufficient bright and clean comedy to
relieve the strain Of continued melo-
drama. Most plays tire one, and pail
on the taste after the first hearing, but
The Still Alarm" bears many hearings

SENSATIONAL TALE.
A STORY OF NDISCRETION, PERJURY, DIVORCE
AND REMARRIAGE.
West Virginia Minister and His Wife Figure
in Columbus Scandal-lnter-
esting Sequel.

On last Saturday morning the emo
State Journal, of Columbus, published
very sensational story Of the criminal
intimacy of a ministers wife, In that
city, and colored man, and his con
vIction on a charge OF rape and SEN
tence to Imprisonment in the Ohio pen
itentiary, by the perjured testimony OF
the minister's wife. Subsequent devel-
opments have brought to light most
interesting sequel to the story.
The facts in the case, as published,
are briefly as follows: j. 5. Under
wood was young minister, living with
his pretty and accomplished wife, In
Columbus. During the fall OF lsSs, he
stumped West Virginia for the Prohioi-
tion ticket. During his absence he
kept up regular correspoh-
ence with his wife, and her letters
did not indicate then anything was
wrong. Upon his return his wife met
him with tears in her eyes, and said she
had oeen criminally assaulted by col
ored man. She told how he came TO the
door, made her an indecent proposition,
and how she struggled with him, but
was finally compelled 10 submit TO his
will. Underwood went out every day
with his wife, in the hope that she
would see the man who assaulted her.
One day they met a negro, whom she
positively identified as the right person.
The colored man, whose name was VIII
~ was ma
promptly arrested on charge OF rape.
He Indignantly denied the charge, but
admitted that he was criminaliy intl-
mate with Mrs. Underwood. The pub
lie Indignation, which was great at the
time Of his arrest, was intensified by
this charge, and there were threats OF
lynching. He was convicted, and on
December II, 1883, was sentenced TO 10
years imprisonment in the Ohio State
pententiary. 0ffet stOutly protested
innocence, but To no avail.
Mrs. Underwood was very much de-
pressed in spirits afterthe trial, and one
day made startling confession to her
husband. She admitted that Otfet'S
story was true, and accounted for her
action in testifying against him, by the
fact that the nelghbOrS saw the man al
her house, and she feared she had con-
tracted a loathsome disease, and was
also afraid she would give birth to
negro child.
Underwood called upon an attorney,
for the purpose Of obtaining q divorce
from his wife, but acting upon the ad-
vice of his counsel he resigned his pas
torate and removed 10 Pennsylvania,
where he secured divorce. He then
made affidavit TO the story told by his
wife, and sent it to the Ohio Peniten-
tiary, with strong appeal for the re-
lease of the prisoner. This was sup
plemented by an affidavit from lady to
whom Mrs. Underwood had also con-
feSSed.
Several months passed before any
action was taken, but last Friday Ofet
was paroled. And now comes

TIE SEQUEL.

The young lady was born and reared
in Wetzel county, this State, where she
was married to Underwood. She was
very pretty and brilliant, and OF very
respectable connection. Underwood
lived in Tyler county, where he taught
school for, a while, and afterward en-
tered the ministry, and moved to Column
bus. As a young man he enjoyed the
confidence and respect of all who knew
him.
A the divorce proceeding was settled,
Mrs. Underwood returned to Wetzei
county, and with her three bright chill
dren, occupied a cabin among the hills,
in the interior OF the country. She as
ISOLATED very little with the neighbors,
living as quiet life as possible.
About three or four months ago, I'm
derwood came to WetZel county, called
upon his divorced wife, and the couple
were remarked. They then departed
for Pennsylvania, where they are now
living.
Several prominent citizens OF Wetzel
county, who are familiar with all the
facts in the case, have determined to
write TO Governor Mckinley, of Ohio,
aud endeavor to have OfTet pardoned.
