ton was passed without dissenting
voice, he entire bar being present,
expressing + gret at having to give
up so able man as Judge Tur.ey
for the position he has 50 long and
with satisfaction TO the public held.
The resolution also recommended
and Endorsed Hon. Geo. E. Seay, of
Gallatin, Judge of the Eighth Chan.
Gerry Division OF Tennessee, on ac-
count of his nigh moral standing, his
ability as IA lawyer and jurist, as a
suitable person for the position.
Judge Seay's record as a Chancellor
is remarkable one-unparalleled in
the State. During the fourteen years
he has presided in this division the
per cent. of his appealed cases affirmed
by the Supreme Court is greater than
that of any other Chancellor in the
Stale, while every case appealed in
this county from his decision has been
affirmed"

RAILRO RUMBLINGS.

Travel on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad eastward now exceeds any
thing ever known on that road.
1t is said that when the Baltimore
and Ohio Improvements at Harpers
Ferry are completed the station will
be located in the immediate neighbor-
hood of the Potomac pulp mill.
The president of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad was in town recently
and intimated that it is the intention
of the company to preserve the piece
of ground on which John Browns
Fort stood, and to erect thereon a
building the exact counterpart of the
one that was removed to Chicago.
|-Harper's Ferry Sentinel.
The tracks of the Baltimore and
Ohio and the West Virginia Central
and Pittsburg have been connected at
Keyser and at Rawlings. This is done
to avoid possible delays on either roads
by wrecks or wash-outs along the part
of either lines between the two points.
1t is said that within the past year the
Baltimore and Ohio has been compelled
to use the tracks of its neighbor FIVE
times owing to occurrences over which
it had no control, and the West Vir-
ginia Central has been dependent up
on the Baltimore and Ohio nearly as
often.

Company has found it necessary to
adopt new rule with reference to its
clearance of wrecks. Heretofore there
has been no restraint placed upon the
people who gathered around to watch
the wrecking crew in it's work of clear
ing the tracks and much annoyance
has been caused the workmen. This
has not been Of such moment to the
railroad company as the possible dan

surance that rope, strained to its ut
most, will not break at any moment.
Should such be the case there would
be certain harm to the sightseers and
it is to protect these people from in
jury that the new rule has been adopt
ed. Hereafter ropes will be stretched
about all wrecks and only those au-
thorized will be admitted within them.

Mr.. Young, the jailor, said: 81 have

Especial to THE WORLDLY

CHARLEsTowN, w. Va, Sept. 21.-
Harry F. Smooth, the murderer of
Susan C. Terrell, committed suicide
this morning. He retired as usual last
night after saying his prayers, about
the regular time and his death watch
noticed nothing unusual about him
and not until about 4 o'clock this
morning was it noticed that he breath
ed heavier than usual. Then Mr.. Albin,
his death watch, tried to wake him but
found that it was impossible to do so.
He then called for Tailor Young, who
sent for Drs. Richardson and Bishop
who reached the Jail about 5 o'clock
and worked with him several hours,
using every means known to the pro-
fession to wake him, but failed, and he
passed off in this death like sleep about
eight o'clock.
The following is a copy of a letter
written by Harry F. Smooth on Sunday:
" Alice write to Lawrence just as soon
as finishing reading this and tell him
that last Saturday night I took every
drop the bottle contained but that it
had no effect whatever on me. | did
not eat any supper hardly so that l
would not have anything in me.
Ask him if he cannot put some
thing up in the form of pills

WASHINGTON, September 20.-In
1866 the Grand Army of the Republic
was founded with B. F. Stephenson,
Of Illinois, as the first commander-in.
chief.
One of the most sought-after men in
the city is ex-President Rutherford B.
Hayes. He arrived on Saturday, and
has had an ovation ever since he has
had been in the city.
Stationed at the principal squares
around the city are unique little infor-
nation booths, of blue and white color
ing, where all sorts of questions are
answered by 100 bright high school
boys in uniform. The are not permit
ted to charge fees.
Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, with his
broad-brimmed soft felt hat, is con-
spicuous spectator in the crowded
streets. The hat he wears is after the
army pattern.
The question of who will be the next
commander-in-chief of the Grand
Army is one of absorbing interests to
the great number of Grand Army men
here. Three candidates for the honor
are in the field. They are Colonel
Charles P. Lincoln, Of Washington;
Colonel A. G. Weisert, of Wisconsin,
and General H. S. Hearst, of Ohio.
The trio of candidates are men who
have played prominent parts in the
work of the Grand Army, and figured
largely in the histories of their respec-
tive departments. Each man has a
war record of exceptional brilliancy as
brave soldier, and has strong per-
sonal following.

BERGMAN OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,

PITTsBURG, Sept. 20.--Alexander
Bergman, the Anarchist who tried to
kill II. G.. Prick, was placed on trial
yesterday morning in Criminal Court.
Judge McClung presiding. 1t was not
generally known that the case would
be called, and there were very few
people in the courtroom. Bergman
looked well, Notwithstanding his CON
finement, and was as cool as anyone
present. He pleaded not guilty to the
six chages of felonious assault and
battery, entering building with felo-
onious intent and carrying concealed
weapons. He had no counsel, and
preferred to conduct his own case. A
jury was obtained with trouble. and
the case was opened by District At
torney Burleigh.
The case was given to the jury at
one o'clock and without leaying the
box, verdict of guilty was found.
The defendant was at once called for
sentence and said: 81 did not expect
justice, and did not get it."
lie was then sentenced to twenty
one years Imprisonment in the peni-
Tertiary on the five charges of felon-
ious assault and entering building
with feloni1us intent. and one year to
the workhouse for carrying concealed
weapons. Bergman looked sullen and
throwing back his head put his hat on
and started to leave the room. He
was at once taken in charge and re-
moved to Jail.
An hour later Bergman was on his
way to the penitentiary, and at three
O'Clock he had donned the convict's
garb and had begun his long term of
Imprisonment.
