His Horse Had q Pedigree

There s funny little story atioat
in sporting circles concerning Hol
den Davis, who is one of Cincinnati's
well-known amateur horsemen. As
an amateur he is success, but when
it comes right down to real profes
sional horse knowledge it must be
confessed that Holden is just little
in need of higher cultivati on.
However, he is young yet in the
business and he will learn good
deal more as he grows older. But
to the story.
Not long ago Holden had horse
with pedigree, which he was anx
ious to dispose of, and one day he
met a man from Winchester, Ky, ,
who knows all the herd books by
heart-horses, dogs, cattle, and ev-
erything else. They talked horse
awhile and Davis spoke of his fine
horse and wanted the Kentuckian to
buy him. He wouldn't have been a
Kentuckian if he had refused to
make some sort of dicker. So,
being a Kentuckian, he asked to look
at the horse Holden took him
around to stable on fifth street and
had the horse brought out. When
the Kentuckian saw him he shook
his head doubtfully.
''Oh, he's all right said Holden;
che may not be much for looks, but
he's got the breeding. I got him
from a Clark county man and he fur
nished me with his predigree in due
form away back. I insisted on that
before I would buy him"
"Got it with you?' inquired the
kentuckian.
The Clncinnatian went down into
his pocket and came back with a
document carefully folded in an en-
velope.
Here it is" he said. Look it
over and tell me what you think of
it."
The kentucklan took it and read
it over as follows:
Bay horse Blue Grass, foaled in
1887, sire Black Samson, dam Young
Phyllis: Black Samson, by Breast
plate, dam Lady Waxey; Young
Phyllis, by Blue Jeans, dam Matte
j.; Matte j., by Cyclone Wilkes,
dam Miss Tormentor; Miss Torment
or by Tuscarora H., dam Ada v;
Breastplate by Frank, dam Jellico:
Jellico by Bvcephalus, dam Prin'
cess; Bucephalus, by Sir William
dam Eulalia.
The Kentuckian didn't say word
when he finished reading the list Of
ancestral dignitaries. for he was
speechless.
"Who gave you thiss' he asked al
soon as he could articulate.
"A gentleman by the name of Oh
liver in Winchester-Jim Oliver,
think they called him.. replied tn,
guileless Buckeye. Il bought tn,
horse from another man, and Mr.
OLIVER made the pedigree out TO
me afterward Why. isn't it al
right
'-Oh, yes said the Kentuckian
Oh, yes. It is one of the most re
markable pedigrees our state Cal
furnish"

BRucEroN MERCHANT ASSIGNS.

On last Saturday, June Gath, Mr..
Charles K. Bower, who has been
engaged In a general merchandising
business at Bruceton, this comfy,
came to town and made an assign
ment to ID. N. Wotiing as Trustee.
The deed of assignment is recorded
in Deed Book No. 70, page III OF
the Records at the County Clerks
Office and shows the following in
debtedness First, four notes to
l.. NJ. Albright, OF this place, for
1915 each, with interest, and due
October 8, 1892, '93, '94 and '95,
respectively, the total amount of
the principal being $1,000. This
is for the stock of goods in the first
place, purchased of Albright, and
on these notes Rev. Jacob Bower,
OF Pleasant Dale, father OF the
young man who assigns, is the Sc
curity. Also to Mrs. Meta s. +.
Bower, (his wife), Eve notes bear
ing date as follows January 20,
1891, 5000; April z, 1891, 1913;
July 10, 1891, s27; April 1. 1892,
s245, and March 6, 1898, $50.
Total amount due his wife 1897,
exclusive of interest. Also one note
due his brother, o. IL. Bower, for
$50, and four notes due Rev. Jacob
Bower, as follows One under date
of April 2, 1890, 500; April 81,
1890, $3.50; Sept. a., 1891, $40,
and one March 20, 1898, for 5000,
amounting in ell to $3.50 due his
father, besides tho interest, and one
note due the Bank of Kingwood
for $500, bearing date April 2,
1898, and due six months from
date, with Jacob Bower as security.
The city bills due the Wholesale
merchants are not very heavy, as
shown by the assignment. Thomp-
son & Jackson, of Parkersburg,
have ajudgment secured in Justice
Godwin's Court here, March IL,
1893, for s242.32; John S. Naylor
& Co., of Wheeling, $24.69; j. @.
Orrlck & Sons, S19.65; Slingluff,
John & Co., $40.4O; Arbuthnot,
Stephenson & Co., $81.74. The
total amount of the liabilities seem
to be about 81, 900, the Rev. Jacob
Bower being the heaviest loser, rs
he is in for at least $500. To
Offset these liabilities ia q small
stock of goods, which will probably
be closed out at auction and some
small notes and a number of &C.
counts to collect. 1t is estimated
that the proceeds will not pay over
40 per cent of the liabilities. Mr..
Bower is young man with good
business talent, but seems to have
had bad luck some way. lie has
been in business about three years.

CHE King OF Rochester, New York,
and proprietor of Warmers Safe
Remedies and various medicines
which have a large sale and have

for over million dollars last week.
The liabilities are about all covered
by stock and property and may pay
out most of the Indebtedness.

Mrs. Charlotte Simpson, VINO

ages done her garden by the foods
OF several weeks ago, was awarded
fifty dollars damages by Justice
Demoss on Tuesday. The case will
probably be appealed to the Circuit
Court.
One day last week John Lilly,
who has spent the last twenty years
in Texas. enjoying the wild life of
cowboy, returned to his old home
in Grafton to visit his friends. On
Saturday he imbibed too freely of
West Virginia "hilarity" and pro-
ceeded to "do'' the town. On
Main street, near Brinkman's, he
got out his revolver and began shoot
ing, but the police and citizens
wouldn't scare worth cent. He
was surrounded, captured, and es-
corted to Hotel d'Selvey and re-
NAMED the city's guest until
Wednesday, when he was brought
before Justice Guard and fined $25
and costs. Not having the "where-
withal," he was remanded to Jail.
John Batson, eldest son of James
W. Batson, of near Webster, COM
mitted suicide by hanging himself
in the stable about 4 o'clock on
Monday afternoon.
For several years he was insane
aud was confined in the asylum at
Weston, but about four years ago
his condition had improved so much
that his father took him out and
brought him to his home, where he
has ever since remained.
On Saturday the family discoy-
cred that his mind was again badly
disordered and at once they began
keeping careful watch over him,
and on Sunday he was so much
worse that they determined to at
once have him examined and re.
turned to Weston and notified the
Magistrate to come on Tuesday and
examine him. But on Monday
afternoon the unfortunate man
walked out Of the house and crossed
to the stable. which stands a short
distance from the house. The
family was watching him, but did
not want to awaken his suspicion
by letting him know it. but in q
few moments two of them went to
the stable, but when they found
him they discovered that he had
already hung himself, using hal
ter strap for the purpose. lie
climbed on the manger and adjust
ed the halter around bis neck after
first tieing it over head and jumped
to the floor. His neck was broken
by the fall and life was extinct
when he was found.

Of that State, to this high and

to be exhibited at the Worlds Fair
as the great aud only West Vir-

some time before he gets another

Jacob Bowser in regard to the JUDI
cial decisions on the trouble in the
Evangelical Church. 1t seems to
as, from our position on the fsnco,
that what this church needs more
than anything else. is less dissenslon
and more christianity. A church
divided against itself is bound to
take a tumble, and this kind of
trouble Is the devils delight. We

of the Wardens in the Hospital for
the Insane there, was here last FRI
day after an insane man named
Wolfe, whose papers had been sent
to the Hospital, but who had not
been brought to Jail here yet, and
so the Warden returned without
him, and il he is taken there now,
it will have to be at the expense of
his friends or the county. Mr..
Scwartz had another lunatic in
charge that he had left in the Jail
at Grafton while he came down
here. This man he had gotten
down in Hampshire county, and he
was insane on the subject of being
detective. He had escaped from

City to apply for service under the
Government. lie was arrested and
sent home as a dangerous character.
Shortly after that he turned up in

brought him home and was com
PEELED to lave him committed to

THE SOCIAL WORLD.

One of the most pleasant social
events of the season was the Cha
rade Party given by Mr.. and Mrs.
A. l.. Gibson, at their hospitable
homo in Tunnelton, last Friday
night, in honor of their guests, Mr..
Thomas West and daughters, Misses
LYDIA and Flora, of Riddings, Der
bYshlre, England. The rooms were
crowded with tho elite Of the town,
and with charades, music, dancing
and refreshments, the time sped on
till the wee small hours Of morn
began to grow apace ere the merry
party broke up. The guests were
divided, and under the leadership
Of Col. W. j. Lavelle and DR.. NJ.
Il. Powell, for the contest in cha
rading, and it was about even, but
when refreshments were served, the
Colonel led by big odds and chara-
ded "the Feast of the Passover" at
the table, and it was unanimously
decided that all reports about Col.
Lavelle being in bad health were
entirely unfounded. The supper
served at midnight was all that
could be desired by the most fastid
ious. The table was beautifully
decorated with flowers and loaded
with all tho delicacies Of the season,
fruits, cakes, meats, salads, ice
cream, coffee, ETC., served in the hos
pitable manner that the host and
hostess are noted for. All in all,
it was good to have been there, and
those present will remember the
occasion as a very pleasant evening.
