Shot While in Red

Leonel Piersol, an aged citizen of H3g
nibal, Monroe county, was found dead in
bed Tuesday morning of last week with
bullet hole through his brain; probably
murdered, as there was not any weapon
found to show that he had committed
suicide. Not having been seen since
Sunday by any of his neighbors, caused
them to investigate, and going to his
home found him as described above. No
cause can be assigned for the deed as
there was nothing disturbed about the
premises. The only thing noticed was
some broken glass which had fallen on
the foot of the bed from the window
through which the shooting had been
done. His remains were buried Thursday
afternoon.

Convicted of manslauehter.

The trial of John Grayem, who was
indicted for murder in the second degree
for the killing of VIM. Harris at Barnes
vile on August "a, came up in Common
Pleas Court on Thursday. The testimo-
ny at the trial was in every respect sub
stantially the same as that produced at
the preliminary hearing and upon the ap-
pilcatlon to be admitted to bail. The testi-
mony both on the part of the prosecu-
ton, and the defense differed only slight
ly as to the character Of tie language
used in the controversy. As to the man.
ner in which Grayem struck Harris and
killed him, the facts as brought out were
as has heretofore been detailed in these
columns. The jury, after short delib-
Grafton, returned verdict of manSlaugh-
ter The penalty is imprisonment in the
penitentiary from one to twenty years.
An intent to kill when the blow was
struck could not be proven in the case,
hence the prosecution failed to secure
conviction upon the highest form of
murder charged in the indictment. Maj.
Z. T. Petty assisted Prosecutor Hollings-
worth, and Hon. L. Danford, g. A. Col
pitts and w. R. Talbot appeared for the
accused.
-Grayem was sentenced on Wednes-
day to seven years in the Penitentiary.

SCATTERING NEWS ITEMS.
Cost of Special Election Under the
Australian Law.
A Comparison of Votes Ought to Have a
Medal-Sone Figures on Meth
,odism-Other Items.

Martins Ferry has vacancy in the
Council from the second ward, and next
Saturday will hold special election to
fill the vacancy. The election will be
held under the Australian system, and
here is the string of red tape which has
to be followed in order to comply with
the law: The Board of Elections met and
advertised in two papers for bids at a
cost of several dollars. They met again
on Monday at cost of S12 or SIS, to
award the contract for printing. The
Presiding Judge of Elections in that
ward will have to be paid for his time
and expenses in coming after the ballots.
Four judges and two clerks will be paid
for holding the election, and there is only
one candidate in the field In all, the
election will cost the county about $50,
which is good bit for an office that does
not pay anything, even to the man that
gets it. A large part of this expense
comes too from the formality of comply
ing with the law.

Refused to Sign.

Three Democratic county offers were
elected by Republican votes at the late
election, yet when petition for the ap-
pOintment of VIM. Kinney at Belmont
as Postmaster, was presented to D. Fl.
Milligan, in this place, he refused to
sign it, saying that he would endorse no
man who did not vote the straight Dem
ocratic ticket, and added that MIR. Kin
ney had voted for some Republicans on
the county ticket. The Republicans who
gave their votes to Democrats, can learn
a lesson from this. Republicans are
asked to give their votes to Democrats,
but any Democrat who attempts to re-
turn the favor is thus ostracized.

Some Figures on Methodism.

At the meeting of the GAINESVILLE NJ
E. District Conference, held at Clarington
last week, it was shown by reports that
this district pays to its pastors an average
annual salary of 1882, next to the lowest
average paid to any of the eight districts
of the East Ohio Conference: that the
average annual sum paid per member for
pastors support is s2.14, considerably the
lowest paid in the Conference, and that
the average annual amount paid per
member for all purposes is Si94, or less
than ten cents per week, In the last
year there was a net increase in the
membership of the district of 223.

SEVERAL SHORT STORIES.
Democratic Jollify Over the Election
and Yell for Grover.
or Go''-The Verdict of Would
Be Boss.

The Democracy had blowout i'll this
place on Thursday night last in honor OF
the recent dire calamity-to Republicans
1t was announced to be a blowout, and
as blow general and all around, it could
not be discounted. The wind howl
ed and the Democracy howled because
the wind howled, and in the language of
the poet it was bowling success. Any
way it blew. All agree to that PROPOSE
tion. The Democracy blew horns and
the wind blew dust, and with both to tor
ment, there was no peace for the righte-
ous-i. e. the Republicans. Nature was
evidently displeased at the presumption
of mortals to celebrate victory OF retro
gression over progress. But in spite of
the anger of nature. a motley crew clad
in impish trappings, paraded the streets,
amid the lurid glare of red fire, the hid
eous yells of the crowd, and the mourn
full swish of the wind, the whole present
ing picture of what jollification
might be in-St Clairsyille

some of it tasteful, some otherwise a
feature of the parade emblematical of
Democracy was the OK team. The sup
ply of scrawny poultry was fully equal to
the demand, but when it is considered that
during the last thirty-two years-except
four-the Democracy has had nothing to
do but raise roosters, the result is not
remarkable Numerous transparencies,
chiefly notable for bad spelling, and the
ignorance displayed in their get up. were
carried. One referred to the forge bill"

Quoting a compaign, was presumably in

illiteracy. A triangular fight occurred.
which was thoroughly Democratic, and
all three of the participants were more or
less disabled. Congressman Pearson did
not show up, and of course there was no
speech. Withal, it was a great blow,
and as it is probably the last the Demo
Gratis of the present generation will ever
have, they are entitled to all the fun they |
got out of it.

Verdict for $1,000.

Last February George Irwin fell into
a culvert on Ohio street, Martins Ferry,
and, striking his head against stone
wall, received injuries from which he
died in day or two. The night was
dark, there was no street lamp, the cul-
vert was uncovered, and there was no
railing Or any other protection for pedes-
trians. His wife, Virginia Irwin, as ad-
ministratrix. brought suit against the
city for $4,000 damages, and the case
was heard on Monday, in Common Pleas
Court The plaintiff charged negli-
gence on the part of the city, and the
jury evidently agreed with this view
of the case, as after short deliDeration
it returned verdict for $1,000 damages
against the city.

A comparison of the vote last year witt
official vote in this county, this year
shows some interesting facts. On the
total Republican vote on the head of the
ticket, there is an increase of two. There
is Democratic increase in the total vote
of 45l. The Peoples party increase their
vote in the county from "a to ITO, and the
Prohibitionists raise their vote from 45G
to 538

Bridgeport has reform (?) Mayor
The day after the election Democratic
citizen of Bridgeport applied an oppro-
brious epithet to Republican, and was
promptly knocked down. The Democrat
aforesaid, after regaining his senses,
made dash at the Republican, and was
again brought into forcible contact with
the floor, and in addition received a good
pummeling. Through the Instrumental
ity of several Democrats the Republican
was arrested, and although it was only
an assault and battery case, the elegant
Mayor placed him under $500 bond. The
usual bond in such cases is S1OO That
Mayor ought to have reward for his
love of Justice.
