STEUBENVILLE, o., December GA
dramatic scene in the Rose murder trial
occurred when Prosecuting Attorney Frs
kline called out as a witness RAY Rose. "
He is the crippled child of John Rose, the
accused, and Clara Seigler, the murdered
girl. An oppressive stiffness seized the
crowd present as the bright faced little
fellow was lifted into the witness chair
and faced his father, the prisoner, square
ly. II was an impressive moment and
thrilled every spectator IN the ROOM The
little boy was asked who the colored man
over there was. the prosecutor pointing
at Rose. The boy who is near sighted.
said Henry Freeman. but he was led close
to Rose. when he laid his hand on the
murderer's knee and said IT'S my
papa. Rose maintained a stolid demean-
or and never moved a muscle or exhibit
ed that he showed any feeling or recog-
nized his child, who was led away. Coun-
sci for the defense objected TO the Jesti-
mony in front of the jury, so the judge
conducted a private examination, when
the accused was present. II was one of
the most thrilling and dramatic Of scenes
as the little boy rehearsed his story in pri-
vate his father sitting opposite him stol-
idly taking no notice of what was going
on.

Parkersburg, W. Va, December 21.-
Julia Willis, a domestic employed at
the home of C. c. Martin. on Market
street. was murderousiy assaulted at a
late hour last night, at the Martin
home.
AS she was entering the premises by
q side gate. an unknown man struck her
several heavy blows on the head with a
club. making several ugly wounds and
rendering her unconscious for some
time When she recovered her as
sailant had fed, and she gave the
alarm.
She describes her assailant as a
heavy-set mulattO, and thinks the as
sault was committed by a tramp whom
she had refused victuals early in the
day.
The affair has caused great excite
ment in the neighbOrhOOd. as the re-
cent murder of Mrs MHllen. lust
across the street from the Martin home.
and the assault of Mrs. Michael Hay
den. near the same place. are still fresh
in the minds of the residents. The de-

the assault last night is almost identi-

Mrs. Mullen on the night the terrible
crime was committed. No arrests have

PILGRIMS DAY.
Senator Hoar Says That There VIII BE NO
War With England.

Plymouth, Mass, December 21.-The
275th anniversary of the landing Of the
pilgrims was celebrated here to-day.
The principal address was delivered by
Senator Hoar He eulog:Zed the pill
grims as the founders of civil and relig-
ious liberty on this continent Re
ferring to American kinship with Eng
land, he said: 1T is well that these two
great nations should know something
of each other that they don't get from
their metropolitan press, whether in
London or in New York. Each of them
should know that If it enter into quar-
rel with the other II is TO be a contest
with that people on the face Of the
earth which is most like to itself. The
quarrel will be maintained on both
sides until Anglo-Saxon, until English,
until American endurance is exhausted.
For that reason, if for no other. such a
/ conflict should never begin. This whole
thing Is very simple. We cannot per-
NIT any weak power on this continent
to be despo.led Of its territory, or to be
crowded out of its rights by any strong
power anywhere. England would not
permit us to do that to Belgium or Den
mark. On the other hand we have no
title to interfere with the established
boundaries Of English territory, wheth-
er we like them or do not like them.
All between those two limits is subject
for discussion and for arbitration; sub
ject for that international arbitration
which delegation of English members
or Parliament came to Boston a few
years ago to impress upon us, saying
that in their decree for its establish
ment they represented the opinions of
large majority Of the English House of
Commons. The settlement of pending
differences upon these principles will be
compelled by the business men and the
religious sentiment of these two nations,
influences always irresistible when they
are united and when they are brought
TO bear upon large matters of national
and international import

Martins Ferry Citizens Treated to an Cn-
usual Sight.
For several years Martins Ferry has
been in darkness after night, and the
darkness is said to be blacker than
anywhere in the State Of Ohio, and
thick enough to cut with knife. The
citizen who ventured out OF doors car
ried a lantern, and a majority OF the
population went to bed at sunset 1t
was a Paradise for burglars, but the
hard times made everybody poor, and
the members of the dark lantern pro-
fession did not regard the Ferry as
profitable field.
Now all is different The city has
contracted for an electric light plant.
and last night the current was turned
on in the lower circuit, in the Third
ward. lighting 40 or 80 lamps. II was a
revelation to the citizens. They congre-
gated in crowds, and their eyes blinked
like those of an owl at sunrise. Mar
tins Ferry IS a progressive town in 9TH
er matters, and is to be congratulated
upon catching up with the procession
in the matter OF street lighting.
The remainder OF the lights will be
on within few days, not later than
Christmas.

deadly blow to his European prestige
When Sheridan was sent toward the
Mexican border in March, 1867, there
was nothing left for Louis Napoleon but
to withdraw, which he did, leaving
Macmillan to his fate. Until the pres
ent exigency in Venezuela there has
been no other contingency requiring
any positive assertion Of this doctrine
on our part, and there is no doubt but
that the outcome of the present situa-
ton will be as honorable to the United

Football Notes.

Somebody who has been looking up The
history of the popular game tells that the
Greeks played football, and so did the Ro-
mans, the latter using their hands as well
as their feet The game is supposed to
have entered England with Caesar, al
though, according to the Encyclopedia
Britannica, the first distinct mention of it
was made in the twelfth century, when
William Fitzstephen, in his History OF
London" wrote Of the young men of tho
city going out on certain festivals to play
football after dinner.
In an old London record in Latin is a
paragraph which has been translated as
follows: "And because of tho great noise
in the city by some players of large foot
balls, thrown in tho meadows Of tho peo-
pie, from which evils might arise, which
God forbid we command and forbid on
behalf of the king, under pain of impris-
onment, such game to be used in tho city
for the future.
