QUITS NOT GUILTY.

The Brooke County Ex-sheriT Acquitted
Yesterday.
The case against ex-Sherif ]. l. Cur
tis, of Brooke county, under an indict-
ment for embezzliug the funds of the
county, was ended yesterday at Wells
burg by verdict OF not guilty.
It will be recalled that last GUNNER
the ex-sherif was found to be short in
his accounts about $4,000, and that
failing to account satisfactorily for this
shortage he was at the instance of some
of his bondsmen arrested on the charge
of embezzlement and thrown into Jail,
first at Wellsburg and afterwards at
Wheeling. After a considerable period
OF confinement he obtained bail and has
since been at liberty. Yesterday the
case came up, us stated, for dis
position at Wellsburg, on an agreed
basis OF facts between counsel, and
on this basis the jury was in
structed by Judge PAUL. to bring in a
verdict of not guilty, which they did
In these agreed facts there was moth
ing to show n criminal default, and
therefore no proper ground for Grim
inal action. The shortage meanwhile
had been reduced by credits and by the
turning in of property from $4,000 to
less than 1000, and this latter amount
will be paid by the bondsmen, who are

lam Rogers, of Bethany, and Walter
Cowans, Samuel George, L. g. Apple
gate, Lucas Walters and ]. e. Curtis, OF
Wellsbure.
As part of the agreement on which
the settlement was reached, Mr.. Curtis
signed q paper agreeing not to enter
suit against his sureties for false inn
prisonment.

Mr.. Dalzell; the Republican repre-
sentative from the Pittsburgh (Penna.)
district, then proceeded to attack Mr..
Johnson.
Mr. Johnson, he said sarcastically,
sought to give strength to his plea for
free rails on the ground that ne was
himself manufacturer. He sought to
give the IMPRESSION that he was in
competition with the mills in the
alleged trust. As matter of fact he
only manufactured street railway rails,
and he had monopoly of that produc-
ton. Laughter and applause.
Mr.. Dalzell went on to say that he
held in his hand copies of the patents
issued to Moxham. the president of the
Johnson Company. They gave him
the most complete and despotic form of
protection, yet from behind that wal!
of protection he assumed the role of
philanthropist and wanted to take the
protection away from the producers OF
railroad rails who had no patents. Re-
publican appliance.
Mr.. Dalzell went on to severely crltl-
else some of the statements made by
Mr.. johnson few days ago. The scrip
with which he was paying his men, MIR.
Dalzell said, was at q heavy discount.

pressed on all. sides.
The legislative sesaion OF the day was
short. but it gave opportunity for the
introduction OF two introductionB from
the Populist senator's condemning the
bond policy OF the administration, and
later in the day in the discussion OF the

The fancy of wearing jewelry is grow

at all necessary that there should be

THE POOL AND THE RlUL.


The stagnant pool stands still,
And thus more Stagnant grows;
The dancing sparkling rill
Runs purer as it flows.
The pool may wear
A pleasing smile,
But ladies' the air
With poisonS vile;
The broOklet sings
AS on it tolls
And gladneSs brings
To thirsting soils.
What though the POOL,
Its bosom full.
No want may seem to know;
It's like the heart
That has no part
In any human woe.
What though the stream
May sometimes seem
With waStcful haste to flow;
It's like the heart
That seeks part
In every human woe.
The worthless pool stands dry,
No moisture in it found:
The gladstone brook runs by
Its waters still abound.
The pool shared naught
OF its supplies;
The sun has caught
Them to the skies.
The brook beStowS
With lavish hand;
And still ii flows
To bless the land.
What though our life,
With blessings rife.
No good thing seems to lack;
If we refuse
Gods gifts to use
He will demand them back.
What though the stream
OF life may seem
A gaineSs course to lead;
1t cannot cease,
But must increase,
With God as Fountain-Head.
