SOME FURTHER CORRECTIONS.
The Registers Correspondent Takes Issue
with Some of Rev. Mr.. Ownby's State

The Registers Correspondent Takes Issue
with Some of Rev. Mr.. ownby's State
ments.
Special to the Register.
Sistersville, w. Va, April 1O.-Your
correspondent has no desire TO enter
into a controversy with any one on the
crusade against the speakeasies. 1t
has been his aim to give only the news
as found without leading or mislead-
ing Register readers. When the cor
respondent stated that the ministers
move was unpopular and not backed
by the best citizens, such as mer-
chants, professional men and oil men,
he stated just what is true OF twenty
six leading business men intervied by
a local newspaper man yesterday only
two approved the plan of the clergy
men. Whether this is a Islander upon
the good citizens of Sistersville' or
not, does not enter into the subject.
The facts stated stand out for them
selves.
The statement made by Rev. Ownby,
over his name, shows deplorable ig-
norance in regard to "Uncle Sans"
liquor laws. He says Uncle Sans help
will be invoked. Two years ago, when
speakeasies were driven out of the
town, men started them on boats, in
the willows, on the roadsides and else
where, and every man had a govern
ment license.
There is another statement in the
article that needs correction in the in
terests of the good name Of the town,
and this is, there is not a house of
prostitution here.
Your correspondents statement that
the big majority of citizens do not ap-
prove of the move is absolutely cor
rect. To test it, let Rev. Mr.. Ownby
make a canvass of the business men
and citizens generally, not affiliated
with the liquor business, and publish
the result in the Register.
One thing more: This county never
voted on local option. and a year ago
when the prohibitionists had an excel
lent ticket in the field, it received just
twenty-foUr votes.

BIRCH'S BODY FOUND.

1t Was Lying About Thirty Feet Back
From Main street, -Four Feet From the
Line of Alley Nine and Five Feet Be
low the Auey-The Remains Horribly
Burned.
Spurred on by the offer of Sheriff
Franzheim, the men worked with all
the energy they possessed, and about
a quarter past eleven they located the
stove which stood on the first floor Of
the Hutchisson store, about thirty feet
back from Main street, on the side
next alley nine. This is the stove
which started the fire in the ruins.
The men cleared the stuff away from

Main street, where the patrol wagon,
which had been sent for, was awaited.

THE MINERS CAME OUT.

Four Hundred Strikers Fully Armed. In

inc forbidden by the operators to tres

THE PARKERSBURG PRESBYTERY

New York, April 10.-Another SUIT
to test the constitutionality of the in
come tax has been instituted in the
Circuit Court here. 1t is an action in
equity brought by Charles Allen, Of
Greenfield, Mass, against the Illinois
central Railroad Company and others.
In his bill Of complaint, the complain
ant declares that he is informed that
the company intends to pay, under the
provisions of the income tax law, tax
of two per cent. on all its net prifts
and income for the year 1894.
The bill then AYERS that the income
tax law is unconstitutional in that If
said tax is collectable upon the COM
panys income and profits, it is direct
tax in respect of the railway property,
fixtures and appurtenances operated
and owned by the defendant company
by being imposed upon the income and
profits thereof, the
SAME BEING REAL ESTATE
and is likewise a direct tax in respect
of its personal property by being i'm
posed upon the incomes and profits
thereof, which direct taxes are not
apportioned among the several States,
as required by the constitution of the
United States. 1t is further averred
that if the income tax be held not to
be direct tax, then its provisions are
nevertheless unconstitutional in that
they are not uniform throughout the
United States, as required by the con-
stitution. The non-unifOrmity OF the
law is then pointed out at length, after
which the bill declares that the ex-
emption of insurance companies, saw
ings banks and institutions constructed
on the mutual plan, etc, is unconsti-
tutional in that these exemptions Op-
crate to arbitrarily free said compa-
MES from the payment of their just
PROPORTION OF TAATION.
The bill further sets forth that the
tax is unconstitutional for the reason
that it impairs vested property rights;
that all persons or corporations taxed
may be deprived Of their property
without due process Of law, and that
all persons or corporations taxed may
be compelled to produce and disclose
their private books and papers in order
to make them liable for penalty, or
to forfeit their property, all of which
is against the express terms Of tn"
constitution.
The complainant therefore prays
that the defendants be restrained from
voluntarily complying with the in
come tax law and that he be granted
such other relief as the Court may
deem best.

THE OUTLOOK is GLOOMY.
The Differental Between Pennsylvania and
Ohio Causinr all the Trouble.

between ItUUSllNdIid diAN
Ohio Causing all the Trouble.
Massillon, Ohio, April 10.-Presi-
dent Michael Ratchford, of the Ohio
Miners Association, says the outlook
is so gloomy that it is impossible to
predict from one days end to another
just what is going to happen.
The Ohio operators" Ratchford
says, "are disposed to deal fairly with
the miners and will pay any price
within reason, whether it is sixty
cents or more, if they can secure such
conditions as will enable them to COM
pete for business. For years 1t was
the rule to pay thirteen cents more
in Western Pennsylvania than in Ohio
and this continued until 1887, whe,
because of the introduction of natural
gas and for other reasons, the diiferen-
tial was reduced to nine cents. Now
these same operators in Pennsylvania
propose to pay sixty cents, which is
the present scale rate in Ohio. AS
matter of course, if this last named
rate is agreed to, the Ohio operators
will propose TO pay 81 cents, and if the
Ohio miners will accept 81 cents,
Pennsylvania will want to drop to the
same.
Thus, this conflict over a differen-
tial offers no promise of a settlement,
but results in the grinding down Of
the wages of the miners, while the
consumer is not unwilling to pay any
price that will enable the miner to
live respectfully.
The officers of the Ohio miners will
soon be obliged to meet the operators
and determine upon a scale. The
task will be a difficult one under eX-
isting circumstances"

Cigar Makers Still Out.

New York, April 1O.-The cigar
makers employed by the factories in
this city in making Havana cigars and
who struch fifteen weeks ago, are still

ufacturers had conspired agains
them in an effort to reduce their wages.
To reduction the men would not
consent. and an order was issued
forthwith from the Spanish cigarmak-
ers' union, calling upon them to quit
work. That this mandate was obeyed
is evidenced from the fact that there
are 1000 cigarmakers idle in the city
to-day.

strikers assert they will not resume
work under the conditions promised,

penses of 400 of the strikers, who re-
turned to Havana within the last

East Liverpool, O., April 1O.-Fur-
ther information as to the fate Of

who is missing in Armenia, was re-
ceived by Attorney J. J. Purinton, of

ter from Erzroom, dated March Is, and
was written by w. B. Chombers, and
was as follows:
You will probably notice in the

gram concerning Mr.. Lenz. | wrote
you some time ago that Mr.. Lenz had

to see him and his wonderful machine
that evening. He spoke two or three
words of Turkish and made them un-
derstand he came from Persia and was
going to Erzroom. He left early the
next morning. About a month later
the villagers heard that he had been

through which he had to pass on his
road to Della Baba 1t was the first
village he would reach in the noun
tains. about five miles from the Ar

11th. He was spoken to diadin on the
7th. and should have reached Chilganl
on the 9th or 10th.

The men who found the remains Of

North Market street, after midnight,
and found her much calmer after the
information had been impaired to her
that her husbands body had been Sc

doubly trying by the knowledge that
the remains of those near and dear
