PARKERSBURG, w. VA, September
l6.-The disappearance OF Doctor Ross
and Charlotte Blair, nee Garnum, OF
Waverly, has created a social sensation
Ia this county, where both are well
known.
The girl is the one who was recently
married 10 Curtis Blair at Marietta on a
Friday, and reappeared on the next
Monday at Marietta, before Squire Guy
ton, who had married them, when both
asked for a contract Of separation, say
ing that they had taken sudden aver
sion to each other and had not lived to-
gether, and proposed to get divorce at
the earliest possible moment They
signed the contract and separated, the
girl going back to Waverly.
1t now appears that the whole affair
was a put up job by DIR. Ross as
blind.
The girl was back In Waverly but
few days before the people took excep-
tIon, and White Cap association left
card and reminder TO DR.. Ross, order
ing him to leave town or correct his
morals.
The Doctor appears TO have been un-
willing to give up the girl, for on
Thursday evening a dispatch was re-
ceived here to watch for
HIN AND THE Girl.
They came in that night, but didn't
put up at the same place. The police,
however, kept an eye on the Doctor aud
the girl, and at 3:25 yesterday morning
both were seen 10 enter different cars
on the train for the West.
Before going Ross tried TO sell two
fine gold watches at almost any price.
The police Of Cincinnati were advised
and they searched for the couple In the
hotels, but have not found them as yet.
This escapade OF Ross following so
closely on the advent OF WaverlY people

LATER:-A telegram just received by
the REGISTER correspondent says that
Ross and the girl landed 10 Cincinnati
last night, and registered at a hotel as
w. +. Ross and wife Charleston, w. Va.
They were seen and identified by an
acquaintance OF the correspondent. who
told the hotel people who their guests
really were, aud the hotel proprietor
then gave them separate rooms. which
they took, after Ross bad protested.
They remained at the hotel during the
night, but left this morning.
They have thus far eluded the vigil
lance OF hotel men and police.

DEATH FROM FRIGHT.
Singular Instances of the Fatality of
Nervous Shock.

Singular Instances of the Fatality of
Nervous Shock.
81 have interested myself some W hat
in looking up unusual causes of death"
said DR.. Elder, land have met several
Observation-Disclosures instances where
fright was the cause. The English
Surgeon-General Francis tells of a
drummer in India across whose legs a
harmless lizard crawled while he was
half asleep. He was sure that cobra
had bitten him, and it was too much
for his nerves and he died. Frederick l..
of Prussia, was killed by fear. His wife
was insane, and one days he escaped
from her keepers and dabbling her
clothes in blood, rushed upon her hus-
band while he was doing in his chair.
King Frederick imagined her to be the
white lady whose ghost was believed
to invariably appear whenever the
death of member of the royal family
was to occur, and ne was thrown into
fever and died in six weeks. But
perhaps the most remarkable death
from fear was that of the Dutch
painter, Pentman, who lived in the
seventeenth century. One day he
went into a room full of anatomical
subjects to sketch some deaths heads
and skeletons for a picture he intended
to paint. The weather was very sui
try, and while sketching he fell asleep.
He was aroused by bones dancing
around him and the skeletons suspend
ed from the ceiling clashing together.
In a fit of terror he threw himself
from the window, and, though he sus-
tanned no serious injury. and was in
formed that a slight earthquake had
caused the commotion among his
ghostly surroundings, he died in few
days in a nervous tremor / could cite
many other eases where the shock to
the nervous system which we know as
fright has produced death. Washing

Is the basket beside her with mendlng heaPed

And hang up his hat in the selfssrae old place'

No prettier maid in this great busting town
Is she lissorne and tall is she plant and sweet
And fair as a lily from head unto feet'
My mothers own daughter, pure as pearl,
What wooer can mate with so peerless a girl:
Oh, sister. whose steps have Tot yet learned

To take up the tasks Of the simple old days,
To find nv content in the old homely round,

As the heart that throbs ever benea tn the

BAND REORGANIZED.

A meeting was held last Tuesday
evening at which some of the members
of the old Edenton Band and one or
two others were present. The meeting
was called for the purpose of reorga-
nizing that body. There has always
been the greatest difficulty i'll getting
the members together, and the matter
was thoroughly discussed at the meet
ing on Tuesday last.
The organization was completed by
the election of Mr. Wallace Winborne
as president, and the appointment of a
Secretary and Treasurer. THE bond
of the latter being fixed at 5000, and
he being instructed to line his pockets
with sheet iron. The city council is to
be requested to furnish him with a
guard on every meeting night, who will
walk behind the treasurer at q distance
of ten PAGES from the meeting room to
his home on Broad street, carving a
loaded rcvOlvcr.) Mr.. VIM. K. Jones,
of Mount Vernon, n. Y, has been en-
to bring the band UP to as high a stand
ard as any band in the State. The band
will meet on Tuesday and Friday even

needed in a town this size, and we wish
it abundant success.

BLIND TOM, no. TWO.

Il is seldom that we are favored with
such pleasing entertainments by q
ColOrud troupe as those which were
presented at Rca's Opera House by the
Jubilee Singers on FRIDAY and Monday
evenings last. On the former occasion
there was a good attendance of COlored
people, but 4 very few white people,
On Monday evening the audience was
slim, but the white community was
better represented. The principal at
traction was Blind Tom No. ?, who
pc, formed marvcllOusly we'll OIL the
piano, his selections being received
with much applause. The singing of
J. c. Prosscr was highly appreciated.
J. w. NIassengill the young king of
fun, kept the audience for a time III an
uproar of laughter, and i'll company
with J, II. Martinett performed some
laughable melodies on oddly shaped
instruments. Having 4 severe cold
Rev. J. H. Manly was unable to take
his part III the programme.
The Jubilee Singers have performed
i'll Portland, Oregon, and in many cities
of Canada, besides singing in the prin-

they are now travelling South. Their
object is q worthy one, being the estab-
lishment of a permanent mission in

A SUICIDE.

Jas. l.. Peele, prominent and sup
posed to be wcl1-to do citizen of Rich
Square, n. c., committed suicide on
Friday last by shooting himself in the
head with a shot gun. Financial t1ou-
bles are supposed to be the cause ofthe
terrible deed. The deceased was only
about thirty years old, and leaves a
wife and four young children. His wife
is the daughter of James n. Fatrell, at
present receiver Of State taxes for the
county, and she IS known to be an in
dustriOus and economical woman. Nh
Pecle was also hard worker and lived
economically. His father, 7. c. Peelc,
is one of the best known citizens Of the
county. Nothing unusual was noticed
i'll the dcCcascd's manner, and he APP
pcared to be in good spirits when last
seen alive, which was only a short time
before his dead body was discovered in
4 barn by hired boy. The act has cast
deep gloom over the entire Com1nun-
itv. The bereaYed wife is nearly
hcartbrokcn.
