facturer AMI Farmer.

facturer and Farmer.
The late Robert Miller. whose death
at Beech Bottom has been announced,
was @ representative citizen and an ex-
tensive agriculturist OF Buffalo town
ship, Brooke county. lie was a native
of County Antrim, Ireland, where he
was born February l, 1914. He came 10
America in 1881, landing at Philadel-
phia. He remained in that city for one
year, then moving to Pittsburg. Mr..
Miller resided there for a short time,
and then removed to Wheeling, where
he was apprenticed for three years in
the Wheeling foundry, under Thomas
Sweeney. subsequently Mr.. Miller and
his brother rented an old foundry plant
near the old stone bridge. They re-
manned in partnership until 1855, when
Robert sold his interest to his brother.
Two years later he bought the farm on
which he died. This property then con-
sisted of over 800 acres, the price paid
being $4,000 Since that time Mr..
Miller has added to his farm until at
the time of his death he owned a mag
nidcent farm of over 500 acres, and be-
sides this purchased farms for his two
sons. BY dint of energy, enterprise
and integrity, he has accumulated a
large fortune, and his life was so lived
as to obtain for him the respect and
esteem Of a large circle Of friends and
acdualntances.
He espoused Eliza Luke in the year
1887. by whom he had The following
children: Sarah, William Robert,
James, David, Thomas and George.

A ROBBER CAUGHT.
He Was in the Act of Entering the
Residence
Of A. J. Clarke, Esq, No. o25 Main
Street.-The Was Nabbed by Off
Ger Gardener and Locked Up at
the City Han-Suspected Of Being
a Professional.

Officer Gardner, of the Second ward
squad, did another good act early this
morning.
About one o'clock he caught man in
the act OF attempting to effect an en-
trance into the residence of a. j. Clarke,
Esq, No 925 Main street, and after
firing one shot and a long chase, sue
ceeded in capturing the fellow and lock-
ed him up in the City Hall.
The burglar gave the name of Hayes
Miller and is a son OF George Miller, a
hostler at one Of the Second ward sta
bles. He is but eighteen years OF age.
The officer went north on Market
street just before eleven o'clock, and
passed through alley six to Main street.
He crossed Main street and went down
the continuation of alley siX,/to take a
quiet look at things in that neighbor-
hood. Sanding at the rear end OF the
alley, and looking toward tae back par
OF Mr.. Clarke's residence; he saw some4
thing black hanging at one of the down
stairs windows. The object had pc
culiar look, and Gardener regarded 1t
closely. Finally II moved a little, and
he saw it was a man. The officer made
a break in the direction of the house,
and the man, who was standing with
his feet on the slightly projecting edge
of the belt course Of the wall, jumped
down and made a break for liberty by
jumping a fence and running north
through the yards In the direction OF
Ninth street. The officer fired shot at
the fugitive as ne disappeared, and then
ran to Ninth street, when he entered the
rear of the first lot and began careful
search for his man For a time he was
unsuccessful. and he was about to give
IL I'D. when he CHANGED to see a small
board supported upon legs or pegs, ike
seat. Something prompted Gardener
to look under the board, and there he
found the burglar. doubled up like
scared rabbit. He was marched out
and the patrol wagon called. When
searched at the City Hall he had moth
ing i'm his pocket but a number of raw
potatoes. but he was seen to throw
something awy as he ran. /
Mr.. Clarke's residence was entered
couple of weeks ago, and il is thought
by the police that perhaps Miller is the
party who then visited it, lie is also
suspected of being concerned in the
robbaries out the National road.

THREE WERE TOO MANY
Only Que Receiver Was Deemed Necessary for the Whisky Trust.
 Greenhut Downed.

CHICAGO, March 23.-The resignations of John. J. Mitchell, Edwin F. Lawrence and General McNulta, receivers of tue whisky trust, were today presented to Judge Grosscup in the United States court. Those of Mir. Mitchell and MT. Lawrence were accepted and General McNulta was retained as sole receiver. The court said he thought that the affairs of the trust were now in such condition that they could readily be administered. by one man and did not think three heads were now de- sirable to adm mister them.
 Back of these very ordinary proceedings there is a sensational theory that does not seem to lack confirmation. It IS said that the three receivers resigned as a means of ridding the receivership of Edwin F. Law renee. Lawrence was the nominee of the Greenhut interests in the original receiver ship. When Mir. Greenhut was removed Mir. Lawrence was retained by the court, but the New York stockholders have felt all along that he did not report their in- terests entirely. He has all along been persona non grata with the other two re. ceiyers; has not been present at most of their con onierences, and has not been in their confidence. Action was taken at all meetings without his approval.
 The removal of Lawrence removes the last vestige of the Greenhut- Nelson Morris interest in the receivership. While no charges have been brought against MT. Lawrence, his connection with Nelson Morris for long term of years, as well as the fact that he was appointed a recsver at the instance of President Greenhut, have combined to make him unpopular with the other receivers and the members of the re- organization committee.
 Mir. Mitchell's administration of the af- fairs of the receivership is declared by the other receivers to be without fault and his services invaluable. At his own request his resignation was accepted. The receiv- CTS refuse to say anything about MT. Law rence's connection with them one way or the other.

A RULE FOR CONTEMPT

BEING PREPARED AGAINST THE EDITOR OF
 THE NEW ORLEANS ITEM.
 NEW ORLEANs, March 23.-A rule for contempt is being prepared by Attorney General Cunningham against the editor of the Daily Item, growing out of a severe critique which appeared in the Item talk ing Judge Noise to task for his rulings in the Callahan case.
 The article in the Item was written be- cause the editor copjectured Q mistriai would result in the Callahan case.
 The district attorney Was referred to in complimentary terms and was exonerated from tho onus of having made clear case against the accused. The failure to do % was attributed to the fact that the rulings of the judge were advsrss to the prosecutiop and retarded the state in their efforts to establish the guilt of Callahan to the satil. faction of the jurors.

ALABAMA THE BEST.


OPINION OF AN EEaLIsHMAN AS TO THE
 BEST COUNTRY TO LIVE IN.
 LEEDS, Ala. March 23.-[Special Corre- spondence. l-Leeds has large hopes for the future, and is fencing her land to have it ready for the rush of people that is coming from the north and east. The people of the east do not know that there are many large springs of water, beautiful home sites cheap in the healthy Cahaba valley, where the climate is equal to the best.
 The writer had an interview with an Englishmen, who now lives in these parts, as follows:
 "Colonel, you have tried England, New England, Minnesota, helped build Duluth i, Minn.; you have tried the Pacific coast, then Georgia, and now you are in Alabama. Where in all this world do you like best?"
 The colonel said: ''Right here in Ala bama.'
 s.Does not the Pacific climate beat this?''
 .No, sir; 1t is too hot or too wet or too dry, and those coast winds are almost un- bearabis.'

Bartlett says, as it IS too obviously an ornate composition of a hciionist, inspired by the Ang To- Armenian association. This letter, however, has not excited the public, and the members of the house of commons, who are connected with the Armenian association, have called a meeting to be held on Monday with the object of the organization of an extension of the antiTurkish agitation.

All Appear to be Healthy.

New York Sun.
Gen. Harrison's health has been
restored by his stay of several months
in this terminating state. Governor
Mckinley. Of Ohio, is in the best of
health. So are Governor Morton, OF
New York, and Hon. Thomas b.
Reed, of Maine. and Senator Allison,
Of Iowa, and Senator Quay, Of Penn.
sylvania, and Senator Hawley. of
Connecticut, and all the other repub-
lican statesmen who are awaiting
with interest the presidential con-
vention of their party next year.
MIR. Reed weighs more than any other
one Of them. A candidates chances
are the better when he is in first-rate
health.
We are happy to know that all the
democratic statesmen, too, who be-
lieve that the party will elect the
next president, if the right candidate
be nominated, are healthy.

THE announcement comes from the
state of Missouri that Hon. Chauncey
l. Filley has taken off his coat and is
working against Gen. Harrison. Mr..
Filley, in 1892, was shining light
in the Harrison ranks. Filley and
Mr.. Kerens, of Star Route fame, had
been rivals for the republican leader
ship in Missouri for many years, and
this may account for Filley's change
of front. Filley belongs to the old
guard and is great admirer Of Mr..
Quay; perhaps he has received tip
from Quay to spike the Harrison
guns in Missouri if possible. 1t looks
more and more every day as though
the old Grant-Conkling stalwart wing
of the republican party. with some
notifications, was organizing to xii
off Harrison and control the republi
can nomination for president in 1896

Contest for Indian Territory Justice.


A Washington special to the ST.
Louis Globe-Democrat says warm
contest has commenced for the place
OF chief justice of the Indian Ter
ritory between Justices Springer and
kngore, as the new chief justice will
be selected from one of these two
judges. The dispatch says:
The man appointed to take Chief
Justice Stuart's place will simply be
one of the justices of the Indian Ter
ritory court. When the appointment
is made to fill the place of justice in
the central district the president
will name the man to be chief Justice
of the Indian Territory court. The
contest over the matter of who is to
be chief justice which is going on
between Springer and kilgore is
quite as spirited as is the contest Tor
the place of justice to take the place
made vacant by the Stuart change.
One member of the cabinet has ex-
pressed himself as believing the
president will name Kilgore for chief
Justice, while another member OF the
cabinet has INDUCED in the express
