Some time ago the Scientific Ameri-
can gave receipt for keeping cider
sweet b. II very simple process, and as
this is to be the apple year $50 said by
the prophets) OF the decade. perhaps
you had better cut it out and save it
until needed: Pure, sweet cider, that
is arrested in the process OF fermenta-
tion before it becomes acetic acid or
even alcohol, and with carbonic acid
gas worked out, is one OF the most de-
lightful beverages. The following sci
entitic method of treating cider will
preserve its sweetness: When the sac
charine matters by fermentation are
being converted into alcohol, if bent
tube be inserted air tight into the bung
with the other end in pail of water,
to allow the carbonic acid gas evolved
to pass off without admitting any air
into the barrel, a beverage will be OBJ
tanned that is fit nectar for the gods.
A handy way is to fill your cask nearly
up to the wooden faucet, when the casls
Is rolled SO the bung is down. Get a
common rubber tube and slip it over
the end OF the plug inlthe faucet, with
the other end in the pail. Then turn
the plug so the cider can have commu-
nlcation with the pail. After the water
ceases to bubble, bottle or store away.

Fifty.six per cent. OF the manufac-
turers', Az per cent. of the traders and
45 per cent. of the brokers' and specu-
lators' failures in 1893 were in the Mid

the banking failures were in the Gem

of England holds about s million more

On q Tombstone.

The custom of paying tribute to the
dead by means of inscriptions on grave
stones has gone out of date, but some
curious epitaphs are to be found in many
of our older cemeteries. Doubtless the
intention was good and the deceased de
served the measure of praise rendered
by his sorrowing friends, but not at all
times was the poetry of high order,
however praiseworthy the subject of the
poet might be. Customs entirely change,
and what was the proper thing a few
score years ago, seems odd if not anus
ing to the present generation. In the
Union Cemetery on an old grave stone
crumbling under the action of the frosts
of nearly century, is this inscription:
"a widowed husband consecrates this stone,
To her whose worth it is his pride to own.
Affections tribute, coupled with a tear,
The votive Offering of heart cincere.
Dear Betsy, you have left behind
Darling pledges of your love,
But thou art gone on wings of joy TO that eternal
rest,
Where not wave of trouble rolls across thy
peaceful breast"

BURNED.
The Old Good Int Mt Hostelry-An
Odd Inscription New Christian
Endeavor Oficers.

The home of John Marshall. east of
town, was burned to the ground Wednes-
day evening of last week The building
was large 2 story frame structure con
tanning twelve rooms. The fire was dis
covered by passer by at o'clock, jnst
as the family were sitting down to sup
per. The fire was evidently communi-
Gated from the chimney hue connected
with the kitchen stove, where rather
brisk blaze had been going during the
preparing of supper. The southwest co..:
ner of the building was the point the
flames attacked, and as a strong south
west wind WAS blowing, the whole top of
the house was almost instantly in flames.
Many neighbOrs responded to the call for
help, and some of the more easily nova
bic articles from the lower floor were
gotten out. The house was surrounded
by outbuildings and the efforts OF the
workers were directed to saving these.
In this they were successful, but it was
only by the greatest possible caution.
The building was insured for S1400, and
the contents for $500.
This house was in former years tav-
ern, and was known as " The Good In
tent" 1t was built during the early part
of the war, and was built on the site of
an older building which had burned, and
which was the original Good Intent Inn.
This older building was of much
repute as a hospftable hostelry in
the days when the National Road was
the great highway along which roll
ed the tide of travel East and West
These old inns landmarks for years to a
generation past-stoOd almost at each
half-mile of the way. Gradu ally they
have decayed, until now very infrequent-
ly does one of them make any pretense
beyond private dwelling Mr.. Marshall
will as soon as possible, rebuild on the
site of the burned house.

mother -in-law, Barbara MellOtt, and
Bolon had been suitor for the old

investigate saw man leaving the build
ing. The prowler being called upon to
make himself known, made no response.

THEY WERE CAPTURED.
The Robbers of Old Man Parker
Found to Be Martins Ferry
Boys In Jail.

Officers Westwood and Och, on Friday,
brought out from Martins Ferry the
four men charged with the robbery OF
old man Parker The men-Taylor,
Hoover, Monehan and WeaZey-were ar
rested, Wednesday. They had hearing
and were bound over to Court in large
sums Taylor IN .de full confession,
duplicating ali four uien.
The story of the robbery is briefly this:
On the night of February %, soma par
ties went to the honse of John Parker,
near Pie lsant Grove, in COleraln town
ship, and ca lied Mr.. Parker out to inquire
of him the road to HarrisviIle When he
cam. to tie door one of the inquirers hit
him with club several times on the
head and hurt him so badly that there
seemed to be little chance of his recovery.
More than month ago Ben Frazier and
George Laury, of Wheeling, and John
Mallory, of Cleveland, were arrested for
the crime upon suspicion, but the neces-
sary evidence not being found they
we're discharged. The Martins Ferry
police were convinced that the crime WAS
committed by local talent. About week
ago Officer Och found couple of keys
and a broken pair of spectacles in the
back part of an old stove in Andy Tay-
lor's boat house. The next day Marshal
Westwood and Och wrote out to Squire
Mercer to know if Parker had missed
any such things, and if he had, for de
scription of them Mr. Stilwell, of Pleas
ant Grove. came down, and positively
identified the keys and the glasses,
whereupon the officers at once arrested
" Black Joe Taylor, who has served ont
two sentences in the Ohio Penitentiary.
Taylor's confession also entangled a
man named Hanson, who at one time
worked for Parker, and married woman
who used to keep house for the old man
Hanson, it is said, told the men that
Parker kept money in his house. He
will be held as witness.

Abolished It.

The new Council did good thing the
first night it met by doing away with the
Office of Deputy Marshal. This Office
was created when the saloons were
brought back into town. The deputy
was allowed $40 salary, and So for each
arrest made under the saloon ordinance
The saloon ordinance has no doubt been
violated during the year, but no arrests
have been made by the deputy marshal.
The office therefore seemed to Council as
unnecessary. and as being in short a
simple donation of $40 to an appointed
deputy.
