Erasmus Maggie.

The following story was telegraphed
from New York to the Pittsburgh pa
pers Friday, and will be read with inter
est by persons of this place, who remem-
Der the Erasmus Nagle referred to, when
he lived here, as he did before going to
Wyoming:
Charles W. White, who was arrested in
this city on October 10, upon a requisi-
ton from Wyoming, for the larceny of
money and securities aggregating about
$4,000, failed to appear when his case
was called in the United States Circuit
Court, and an order has been entered for
feiting his bail of $4,000 cash.
White married Mrs. Elma J Nagle, the
widow of Erasmus Nagle, of Cheyenne
Wyo, who had left an estate of S9O0,OOO
White said his marriage was all business,
that he sold himself to the widow for
100000. AS ready money was short he
took S25, 900 cash and $4,000 mortgage
White left Cheyenne September 6last.
So did about 100000 of Mrs. Whites
property. White came to New Y York and
at once assigned his $4,000 mortgage to
the Central Trust Company. 1t was al
legged that White had stolen from his
wife the property he carried off.

An ANONYMOUS Letter.

A great sensation was produced at the
Methodist church at GAINESVILLE, Sunday,
by the reading of an anonymous letter
sent to the pastor, Rev. Lane. The letter
purported to give the pastor advice as to
how the Church should be managed, told
why the former pastor, DIR. Manchester,
had been so successful there, and was al
together about as vile collection of in
suits as conld be well put into one letter,
rejecting as it did on the characters of
Rev. Lane, Dr. Manchester and DR.. Mills.
The writer said that the pastor should
truckle to the wealthy members of his
congregation in order to succeed. Rev.
Lane said that he was in no doubt as to
the writer's indentity, but was unable to
prove it. 1t is difficult to see what use
full purpose was subserved by reading
the letter. 1t looks to an outsider that
this communication should have been
consigned to the usual limbo of unsigned
letters namely, the waste basket, and
nothing more said of it.

Fine Marble Work.

W. II. Evans, the popular marble deal
er, of Cadiz, has just erected in the Unon
Cemetery at this place, remarkably
fine gray granite monument in sarcoph-
agus style, for Mrs. G. V. Grove. 1t is
rock finish, after the latest and most
beautiful designs, and is one of the most
attractive monuments in the cemetery
Mr.. Evans is preparing two other similar
monuments to be soon placed in the
same cemetery on the family lots of
Samuel Clark, and of the late VIM. ].
Clark.
Mr.. Evans is acquiring wide and de-
served reputation for excellent and ar
tistic work in marble, and is covering an
unusually large territory. He has now
in process of construction a monument
of massive proportions to be put up at

THE ELECTION.
The Vets Garry the Day in This
Place.
The Usual Result as a Rule in the Town
ship Elections Throughout
The County.

The weather on Monday was as dry as
could be wished but the town was de-
cidedly wet All the interest centered in
the election of Councilmen, and in this
matter the old party lines had no bear
ing. 1t was wet or dry, saloon or no
saloon, and no other question was
thought of. The whisky people worked
hard and carried the day, electing all
four Couneilmen by majerities ranging
from A. to 80. 1t was early seen that
the election of the wet" ticket would be
the probable result. but the temperance
people kept at it until the polls closed.
A fter six years of no saloons, or closed
saloons, these places are to be again
thrown open under the sanction of the
law.

Lawful to Kill Him.

A curious discussion has been in pro-
gress recently on the question as to
whether it is lawful for householder to
kill man who is breaking into his
residence. All sorts of authorities have
been appealed to, and decision has f.
nally been given, based upon the opin-
ions of the most eminent jurists in the
land, that, whereas it is perfectly lawful
to shoot a burglar when he is engaged in
the act OF breaking into the house. a
man has no right to fire on burglar
who, having completed his job, is seen
making off with his booty. The reason
for making this distinction is that while
the burglar is in the house or in the act
of breaking into it there is reasonable
ground for believing that he contem
plates violence, whereas, if lie has accom-
plished his robbery and is making off
with the stolen property, the supposition
that he contemplates violence no longer
exists, and it is this supposition alone
which renders it justifiable to shoot him.

DEATH OF DIR: MITCHELL.
An Old and Honored Citizen Carried to tn
Grave.

An Old and Honored Citizen Carried to the
Grave.
On Thursday last death claimed as his
victim Dr. Joseph Mitchell. of this place.
He had been sufferer for several years,
but the serious nature of his malady was
of but few days duration. The weak
ness of age rendered him unable to longer
withstand the onslaughts of disease, and
surrounded by his family his life went
out
Dr. Mitchell was born in this place in
1914. He was educated in our common
schools. and after reading medicine with
DIR. Thomas Carroll, he attended lectures
at the University of Pennsylvania at
Philadelphia. After his graduation he
practiced his profession for five years at
MiddIebsurne. Returning to st. Clairs-
vile he embarked in the drug business,
and was afterwards engaged in other
lines of trade. In 1843 he was elected
County Treasurer, and served two years.
Later he was appointed Superintendent
of the National Road from Wheeling to
Springfield In 1856 he purchased farm
one mile south of town, and there he re-
sided until the last two years, since
which time he has lived in town. In 1871
he was united in marriage to Lydia
Pickering.
Dr. Mitchell was a man of more than
ordinary ability. During the greater
part of his life quietly pursuing the
duties of the farm, he was man of in
fiuence in the community and kind and
considerate neighbor. He was member
of the Presbyterian church and regular
attendant upon all services. Two sons,
George, of Columbus, and John, of
Findlay, and a daughter, Mrs. a. A.
Clark, of this place, together with his
wife, survive him.
His funeral took place on Saturday
from the Presbyterian church, services
being conducted by Drs. Alexander and
Balph, and the mortal remains of good
citizen and a consistent Christian were
laid to rest in the Union Cemetery.

JOHN KEYS KILLED.
Run Over by an Electric Street Car a
Wheeling.

Ran Over by an Electric Street Car at
Wheeling
a horrible accident, resulting in the
death of John A. Keys, occurred at
Wheeling at about eight O'Clock Friday
evening. John was coming up Main
street on bicycle. At Twenty second
street the wheel struck brick, and John
was thrown directly in front of down
coming electric car. The car was moving
swiftly, and ran forty or fifty feet before
it could be stopped, dragging the unfor-
tunate boy over the stones, his body being
wedged under the pilot of the car. On
stopping the car the body was so tightly
pushed in that the car had to be backed
to extricate it. Keys was taken to the
hospital, and despite medical aid, died
in less than an hour. His skull was
fractured, both legs were broken, and
the flesh for a foot or more on the back
was ground off and into the bone.
John was the son of James Keys, of
this place. He was about twenty-seven
years of age. About two years ago ne
went to Wheeling, and was at the time
of his death employed in the B. Il y.
yards as brakeman.
The remains were brought to this place
Saturday evening, and buried from the
home of his father Sunday at one o'clock,
interment being at the Union Cemetery,
Rev Balph officiating at the ceremony.
Four members of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, of Wheeling, of
which the deceased was member, were
present and assisted in the exercises.

A Suit for Damages.

T. R. McGlenn, the school teacher who
was dismissed from his school at Kidd,
before the term for which he was en-
ployed was completed, is about to bring
suit suit against the directors for pay
for two months which he was not allow
ed to teach, and probably also for dam
ages He was employed for eight months,
and was allowed to teach but six months.
He claims the notice given was not legal,
and that it was nullified by the directors
allowing him to teach nine days after the
notice was given. Mr.. McGlenn says
there had been no trouble in his school,
and he was unaware of any dissatisfac-
ton until he received notice of dismissal.

A Famous Mound.

The famous mound in Walnut Grove
at Martins Ferry, is being removed, be-
cause the dirt was wanted for some pur
pose. The mound is found to be full of
bones of animals and men, and to have
concealed many Indian relics. 1t is a
great pity that dirt could not be found
elsewhere, and the mound left as land
mark or reminder of prehistoric Ameri
ca. Hundreds of people watched the
work of digging out the interesting rel
les. The mound was sold by Ebenezer
Martin in 1852 to DR.. Jones. of Pitts
burgh, by whom it was sold to Joel Wood.

A worthy husband of this place, think
ing to April-foOl his wife, Saturday, went
home at noon with his arm tied up, and
pretending to have fallen and broken it,
and making great ado about the pain
and Inconvenience. His dutiful wife
feelingly sympathized with her lord, and
was as tender as possible to him, flutter
ing about with thousand small offices
of kindness to alleviate his sufferings
When she had thoroughly made up her
mind how it occurred, he slipped off
the bandage and INDUCED in a hearty
laugh.
The wife Immediately had stroke of
genius. When her husband arose from
his dinner she asked him to take basket
of eatablss to Mrs., her sister, "who,
said the wife, lis to have small party
this evening, and has asked me to bake
her one of my famous cakes and send
some other things" Hubby, feeling
good over his own successful joke, val
iantly hung the heavy basket on his brok-
en- arm, and started for Miss house. |
1t was somewhat out of his way, and the
basket seemed very heavy, but he finally
by dint of much sweating came to the
house. Mrs. = opened the door. and
the precious freight was presented, with
the explanation his wife had given him.

she found underneath neat package, |
