WHEELING, W. VA MONDAY MORNING, OCTOBER %, 1895

The Sheriff family were up stairs and
one of the mob seeing them at the top
of the stairs rushed furioUsly at them,
but someone threw him headlOng to the
bottom.
Between three and four o'clock this
morning. after the mob had moved
further down the street the prisoner
was handcuffed taken through a side
door and then TO a side alley. where a
carriage was in waiting. Police Cap
tain Falkner and Officer Sweeney took
him to Sandusky county as fast as the
horses could carry them.
Citizens viewed the

fused to believe that the prisoner had
been taken away. and at 10 o'clock a
crowd numbering hundreds, started to
make another attack, but wiser cOun-

one of their number who knew the
murderer was allowed to search the

and so informed the crowd but they
refused TO believe him. Then Com

down the reverend genueman's words.
He was late coming, but was cool. He
gave out the hymn, and after it had
been sung arose, trembling all over.
He said:

He repeated this answer TO all ques-

Finally the preacher was carried home,

to reveal the fact that the reverend

$1,000 dollars, strictly on account of the
expenses of the State government, max
ing an average OF 81 ,4S4 ,699.55 per annum,
and left payable debt due by the State
OF more than million dollars. They
collected nearly million dollars OF what
ls known as the common school fund,
and spent it all in riotous governmental
living except the pittance Of $57 100000 in
United States bonds left in the treasury
to the credit OF that fund. This money
was not spent on the common schools,
the purpose for which it was collected,
but was Incorporated and unaccount'

account of that fund was left Jan. 1876,

their administration have spent,a shown
by the issue OF warrants, for the ex-
penses Of the State government $l7 $780,
