SEVERAL SHORT STORIES.
A Probably Incendiary Fire Destroys
A Barn.
Two Horses and Three Cows Perish In
the Flames "A Heavy Loss to
the Owner.

On Sunday night the barn, including
the stable of Thomas Miller, situated
about l = miles south of East Richland
was entirely consumed by fire. Mr.. Mil
Ter is employed at Trolls coal works
near st. Clairsville Junction, and as is
his custom on Sunday evening, had done
up the work about the the barn early in
the evening and had gone to his place of
work, leaving only his wife and five
small children at home. About 9O'clock
the barn was discovered to be on fire
The stable contained 2 horses and 3
cows and the fire so hedged in the ami
mails that they could not be gotten out,
but had to be left to perish in the flames
In addition the barn contained cOnsidera
BILE hay, a wagon and some farming i'm
plements. No cause can be assigned for
the origin of the fire,as none of the fam
lily had been at the barn after Mr. Miller
had left. The loss amounts to $500 or
$500 with no insurance. In attempting
to save some of the stock Mrs Miller was
quite severely burned about the face,
arms, and hands, and is now lying in
serious condition This is a severe blow
to industrious people. A move is on foot
to assist them, and it should meet with
generous response.

A Worthy Petit1on.

The following petition is being circu-
lated by parties interested, and deserves
to be generally signed
To the Fourth Asst Postmaster General.
Washington, d. G.
SIR: Your petitioners, residents of
Belmont county, o., respectfully ask that
route No. from Barton, o., to Cope, o.,
be abolished, and that a route be estab-
Iished from Barton via Cope Z. o. to
Colerain, o.; said route to be daily,
leaving Barton on the arrival of train
No. II on the St. G. and n. railroad, and
leaving COlerain Immediately after ar
rival.
Colerain is only few miles from Cope,
but it takes day or so for mail to travel
from one place to another, going around
by way of Wheeling. The establishment
of this route, which is only an extension
of the old, would be of great convenience
to all persons from this vicinity sending
mail to Colerain, as well as to the resi-
dents of Colerain and neighborhood A
strong petition ought to go in, and it
ought to be followed by vigorous indi-
yidual appeals.

THE SIGNATURE DENIED
On Several Thousand Dollars Worth
Of Notes.
A Man Arrested on a Serious Charge
And Held to Court, and
Other Items

\ case which may excite considerable
interest among the people of three coun-
ties. has Just come to light. Wesley
Davidson was a farmer who lived in
Guernsey county near where it corners
with Harrison and Belmont. He had a
son-in law, John A Romans, liVeryman
and dealer in fine and fast horses, who
lived in Freeport. About six weeks ago
Davidson died and his son was appointed
his executor. Since Dayidson's death
some six or eight thousand dollars of
notes. on which DavidsOn's Lame appears
as surety for Romans, have turned up.
The interesting part is that the attorneys
for the executor of DavidSons estate
pronounce the signature of old man Dav-
idson on those notes to be forgeries. As
Romans possessed little property, the
creditors holding these notes naturally
looked to Davidson for payment, and en-
tirely unsuspectde the possibility that
the signatures were not genuine. Sew
eral of the victims, if such they are, live
in Belmont county, and among them is a
bank. 1t is reported that Romans can
not be found, and if such is trur, this
fact would seem to give color to the
claim that the notes are forged. Action
has been begun in Harrison county to
recover on some of the notes.

So Far Good.

The first entertainment of the winters
course was given Wednesday night ol
last week by the Schuman- Wentworth
Combination. The musical part of this
combination consists of female quar-
tette, from Chicago, while Prof. w. F.
Wentworth, of Boston, does recitations
and impersOnations. Prof. Wentworth
is very pleasing elocutionist, His voice
is perfectly cultured, and under perfect
control. His varied selections were all
well received, "The simple story of
George Washington" and the popular
Preacher" especially eliciting laughter
and applause. 1t is to be regretted that
he did not render "The sleeping car"
Everyone was pleased with the singing
of the quartette of ladies. The blending
of their voices into general harmony
was something remarkable. They seem
ed to be perfectly adapted to each other,
and the effect was exquisite. The solos
by Miss Wentz, contralto, and Miss
Sprague, alto, were well received. Ex
ceeding sweetness of tone characterized
the contraltOs voice, while it was worth
the full price of admission to hear Miss
Sprague's Rocked in the cradle of the
deep.
If the remaining entertainments of the
course are as good as this one. there
should be no grumbling by ticket holder

A Serious Charge.

This dispatch was sent out from Barnes
vile on Saturday:
The people of this section are greatly
incensed over the crime which was
brought to public notice to-day when
James Givens. married man, forty years
old, was taken into custody for criminal
ly assaulting a Miss Moreland, who lives
lust across the line in Guernsey county.
The girl is but fourteen years old, but
was exceptionally shrewd and succeeded
in concealing her condition from her pa
rents and the first knowledge that any
one had OF it was when her parents were
awakened last night by the newly-born
baby bewailing the circumstances which
placed it in this world so Unexpectedly.
Givens some time ago lived on an adjoin-
ing farm from the Morelands. The girl
claims that he committed the deed while
she was visiting at his house and had
gone to the barn on an errand for Mrs.
Givens, and then threatened to kill her if
she told any ole.
Givens was taken to Cambridge and
jailed to-day pending the action of the
Grand Jury. When the facts became
known there was strong talk of lynch
ing, as the family of the girl arerespecta-
BILE people. Asthe girl is not yet IA years
of age, Givens was held.

AN EXPLANATION.
The Brains -of-a-Goose" Gazette Editor
Called Down.
HUNTER, December 6, 1892.

HUNTER, December d, 1877.
The Chronicle: We wish to make a
statement or an explanation through
your columns in regard to the article
copied from the ohio State Journal by
the st. Clairsville Gazette last week, con-
cerning DR.. &. n. HOllingsworth, of this
place, contracting his next years clip
of wool at p cents per pound. We GER
tainlv think the Gazette takes an entire
" different view of the article from what
was intended by the writer who was
present at the time the contract was
made, and did not contribute the article
with the intent of deceiving any one, (as
anybody with the brains of a goose"
could see) but simply as news item. In
an interview with the Doctor, since read
ing the comment by the Gazette on the
original article, he says: The editor ev7
identity does not see the point | had in
view in selling my wool. There is al
ways natural depression in business aff
fairs following change of administra-
ton. Besides l had in view (Which is
the cry of all the leading Democratic
organs of the entire country an extra
session of Congress, aud the removal of
the duty on wool before l could get my
next clip upon the market. Had l known
that the Mckinley bill would remain in
effect, that money would not have bought
it" Trusting this explanation to he
so plain that not even the editor of
the Gazette may be not deceived, we
remain, A. {,

Appears ALI Right.

We have been shown personal letter
from the State Superintendent of Insur-
ance in reference to the Ohio Farmers
Insurance company in which he states
that in the examination of the affairs of
the company there were $4,000 net as
sets, not counting preiums on policies
issued more than three months amount
ing to S153,OOO. Had the latter been
counted as has heretofore been the case
the assets would have exceeded 100000
the amount required in order to do bus
iness under the law. As to policy hold
ers being liable to assessment, according
to opinions of the Attorney General
there can be no assessment. The COM
pany seems to be sound, but prevented
from doing business by the ruling of the
State Superintendent of Insurance.

NOT EXACTLY NEWS.
A Few General Remarks and Familiar
Reflections.

A great many persons believe that Pro
fessors Briggs, of New York, and Smith,
Of Cincinnati. are being tried before the
| tribunals of the Church for disbelief of
! the Bible Such is not the case. The
contest is between two classes of men
who equally believe the Bible to be the
word of God, but who differ on questions
of historic fact and Interpretation. These
men are not being tried for disbelief of
of the Bible. but for disbelief of creeds.
They think that the Bible alone should
be taken as infallible and inspired, and
that the Interpretation given by the men
of past ages to the Biblical utterances
should be treated not as inspired, but
simply as rejecting the opinions of the
ages producing them. They are on trial
for emancipating their ideas from the
shackles of legend and tradition. The
creeds of the older churches have an un-
reasoning reverence for the first few cen
turies of the Christian era. They seem
to suppose that chronological propin-
guilty to Christ contributes great
ly to correct Interpretation. Conse-
quently the doctrines of the fathers have
been received as but little second to the
Holy Word itself.
These professors assert that every age
should stand on its own legs. They de-
clare themselves as faithful to the Bible
itself as.their courts-in fact, more faith
full. The question is one of fidelity, not
of infidelity.
The value of single vote has frequent
ly been demonstrated in our politics, but
never more so than at the present in
Kansas, where two candidates for the
Legislature having an equal number of
votes, they consented to draw lots for
the place, and the Republican won. This
gives the Republicans control of the AS
sembly and probably insures the election
of United States Senator. He in turn
as a Republican, will prevent Democrat
ic ascendancy in the United States Sen
ate, for without the Senator from Kan
sas, the Democrats cannot organize that
body. Thus the entire control of the ma
tional government by the Democracy
may turn on the lack of a single vote in
Coffee county, Kansas. This story teach
IS the value of single vote, and should
determine every man to an irrevocable
oath never to lose his vote.

differences in the price of flabor there and
