A paper was put in evidence and
marked plaintiffs exhibit No /, bearing
the signature of J. Glenn Uhler. Some
discussion took place, Mr.. Delmas desiring
1t recorded on the stenographer's notes.
All sides, however, agreed that the initial
ing of the document by Commissioner
Lawler, who conducted the testimony
taking, would be sufficient.
Quite good deal of legal quibbling took
place on account of the fact that witness
had failed to comply with his subpoena to
bring certain ledgers, letters and memoir
anda with him for examination.
DO you not know" said Attorney Ach,
that your failure to bring these things
without any valid excuse made YOU liable
to the pains and penalties of the law?''
As these words were uttered the attorney
attempted to smile, but the stern look on
the face OF the witness quickly suppressed
the lawyers merriment.
A. B. Spreckels was here made prominent
in the deposition. Counsel inquired
whether Claus had consulted his son as to
whether he should bring books or papers.
After recess for luncheon the examine
ton OF Claus Spreckels was proceeded
with. Philadelphia was again the scene
of operations, and Uhler's connection with
the Spreckels concern in that city was dis
cussed at length. The question of c. A.
Spreckels' accounting then came up, touch

Ezra Meade, of Point Pleasant,
was drowned in the Ohio river at
Sistersville, last Saturday night, by
falling from a sEiff. He was %
years of age, and some time ago
went with his father to Sistersville
to seek employment.
His body has not yet been dis
covered. His aged father, says the
Oil Review "is distracted with
grief over the loss of his boy and
being without means or resources
of any kind merits the sympathy of
the whole community. We trust
that some friendly disposed persons
will lend him their aid in this dark
hour, and that all that can be done
to alleviate his present unfortunate
condition will be attended to.

A bold and daring robbery was
committed at the X. & NJ. depot
last night by masked men.
Train No ? which is due here
from Columbus at s:42, was a few
minutes late, and after its arrival
and dapartureand sueryhody had
left the depot, and Mr.. Kuhn, the
operator, was closing up the Office,
when suddenly the Office was in
vaded by robbers, and as he turned
around pistols were thrust into his
face with orders 10 "throw up his
hands" which he proceeded to do
without parleying, as he saw he had
no chance with the robbers.
Two little boys, the sons of DR..
Boggess, were at the station at the
time, and they observed closely the
robbers, and were enabled to give a
good description of them, and upon
their statements and that of the
operator, six strangers, some OF
whom answered to the description
given, were arrested late in the
night by officers Smith and Fogle-
song and placed in jail.
An Investigation and a hearing
of these men will take place to day,
when it will be determined whether
the officers have the right men or
not.
If the X. & NJ. would light their
depot and grounds up better, these
robberies would not occur so
often. The robbers succeeded in
obtaining S32.

unknown to him, went off, lodging
the entire load of shot in his great

Point Pleasant has never had an
enterprise of any kind, that did not
have its critics and opposers, and
now the West Virginia Bridge
Company is coming in for its share,
because it has recently secured
several iron bridges in this county.
These bridges are being erected
at from one-fourth to one half
less, than such bridges could
be built before the organiza-
ton of our home bridge com.
pany. Foreign bridge builders,
who have heretofore feeced the
county, are now angry and jealous
because the home bridge company
has so largely reduced the cost of
erecting iron bridges; and they are
creating the impression among our
people, that the West Virginia
Bridge Company Is robbing the
county. If the company gets
wages out of the bridges they are
now building, they will be thank
fuI.
If there is any business going, J.
Friedman & Co, the large dry
goods operators of this city, are
going to have it, if persistent ad-
vertising and low prices will bring
it. Goods were never so low as
they are now offering them. They
are sending out thousands of circu-
lar letters containing their au-
nouncement and samples of goods
Read their advertisements in the
daily and weekly and go and see
them.

DARING ATTEMPT
Of Three Young Men to Rob a CAT
tie Dealer.
Two of the WOuld,be-RObbers and
Murderers Now in Jail.

MurdererS Now III Jail.
Ilanawha Gazette, Wednesday.
The most daring attempt at high
way robbery that has ever occurred
in this vicinity, was that of Ed.
Smith, Eugene Grogan and William
Wells, three well know young men
OF Brownstown, twelve miles above
this city, who made an unsuccessful
attempt to murder and rob old man
McMahon, cattle dealer from Ken
lucky last Friday morning. From
statement made by Wells, now n
Jail, the following facts were OBJ
tained, in connection with the affair.
On Thursday night. October 10,
Mr. MeMahon, cattle dealer from
Kentucky was on his way to Boone
county to purchase cattle, and stop
ped over for the night at Browns
town.
During the early part ofthe night
he was in Laydeu's saloon and in
cautiously displayed a large sum of
money, about 5000 in gold. Eugene
Grogau, thc son of a highly respect.
ed citizen of that town, was present
and saw the money, whereupou he
Immediately hunted up Ed. Smith,
a youth of doubtful character, and
Wm. Wells, whom he Informed of
the large sum that the old man Nc
Mahon had about his person, and
also of his purpose of going to Boone
county the next day. Grogan pro-
posed a plan by which McMahon
could be relieved of his money,
which was, that the three should go
to the top OF the mountain between
Lens creek and Short creek and
waylay the old man and rob him.
The other two consented, and they
proceeded to carry out their scheme.
About nine o'clock Friday morn
ing their intended victim rode along,
and when in a low gap of the
mountain, surrounded by woods,
and far away from the habitation
of anyone, the robbers halted the
old man, and demanded his money
or his life. He Immediately put
spurs to his horse and attempted
his escape, when Grogan and Smith,
bent upon robbery, even if murder
had to be committed, began firing
upon Mr.. Mr.. Mcmahon with their
revolvers, discharging seven shots
between them, all of which miss
ed their victim but two of them
took effect in the horse, but not
disabling him so as to prevent him
from speedily conveying his rider
down the mountain on the other
side, but not until after Grogan had
followed him qnite distance, and
fred two shots trying to kill him.
Grogan, the leader of the clan, has
not vet been arrested, but rewaad
of $50 is offered for his arrest, will,
it is thought, bring him to justice.
Wells says that the prosecuting at
torney promised him that if he
would make a full confession of the
crime that he might bo permitted
to turn State evidence, and on this
understanding he made the confess
sion, detailing the whole circum-
stances of the attempted robbery,
but Mr.. Blair, the prosecuting attor-
ney, said last night that he made no
such arrangement and if any one had
made it, it was unauthorized by him.
At any rate the confessinn of Wells
comedies exactly with the state
mcnt made by Mr.. Mcmahon, the
man who was attempted to be rob
bed.
Mr. Mcmahon is a man about 20
years of age.

There will he an Advance.

Many of the farmers in this coun-
ty object to selling their apple crops
at a sacrifice, and are refusing 80 and
60 cents barrel, and are holding
out for dollar barrel, and some
of them are getting it. We are in
formed that farmer on the Ohio
side, few miles below here, sold
his entire crop of 1000 barrels at
that price. Good apples are worth
that much and there will not be
any trouble in getting that for them.

Paved Streets.

We said yesterday it would be u
nice thing to have the streets paved
with brick down to Kanawha A
friend who is acquainted with
the finances of the town says that
it is impossible to do so now ,butif the
town authorities will adopt the
modern ideas that prevail in all
frst-class cities, that so soon as the
town gets son its feet" SO to speak,
and assess the abutting lot owners
one-third, and the town third,
we can soon have well paved streets.
This may startle some who have a
large frontage of lots, but it is well
worth agitating and considering.

The Monroe Doctrine.

1t would not be surprising if an
opportunity for testing the practi.
cability of the Monroe Doctrine,
would soon be given. Ifthe Eng
lish encroachments on the Venezue-
Ian coast continues, and England
persists in claiming the country
without the formality of reference
to arbirators, this country stands
pledged to resent such movements
or retreat from the position taken so
many years ago, and which, al
though never well defined, has been
rigidly adhered to since. 1t would
be well to know exactly the length
and breadth of The operations OF this
principle OF course we would
rather ascertain it by peaceful meas
ures, but if graver means must be
resorted to, then by the latter This
much talked about. much written
about, much blowed about princi
pie, has SO far been largely in the
form OF huge bluff. The world is
perhaps beginning to wonder what
would be in it if the bluff were call
ed, hence the possibility of some Sc
rious conditions before the exact
and efficient scope and power of
this doctrine is determined.
