SHERMAN
Surrendered by the PennsYlyania Au.
thOrIties.

thOrIties.
ParkersSurg, Sentinel 18th.
Jim Sherman, the negro suspect
confined in Jail at Uniontown, for
whose custody our officials put up
such big fight, arrived hero last
night on tho Mountain Flyer at
1925 in charge of Capt. Heaton
and w. L. McCann, tho prisoner
having been delivered to the officers
yesterday after tho examination OF
witnesses from here, who testified
that they had seen him hero previ.
GUS to tho assault.
Tho nows of his coming created
no excitement whatever, as there
has been moro or less of n feeling
all along that he might not be the
party who committed the assault.
There were probably rs people at
tho depot when tho train arrived,
and five or six officers. Sherman
was handcuffed and did not appear
in the least excited. he was accom-
panied to the jail by the officers
followed by a small crowd. Tho
prisoner had very little to say after
he was locked up and the crowd
soon dispersed.
Sherman will be taken before
Justice Beckwith on Thursday
for preliminary hearing, and it
may be possible by that time that
his identity may be established for
certainty. Tho Jail was visited
by quite number of people since
Sherman was locked up, some of
whom believe that they have seen
him here and others, who are we'll
posted on tho coming and going of
strangers do not remember ever
having seen him here.
hesuspicious circumstance about
the affair is Sherman's fighC against
coming back to Parkorsburg and
his refusal heretofore to tell any
thing about himself. The state.
ment of a fellow prisoner in the
Uniontown Jail that Sherman told
him that he had assaulted girl in
Parkersburg' may or may not be so.
If Sherman is the guilty person,
We hope it can be proven to the
satisfaction of everybody and that
he will receive adequate punish
ment for the fiendish act.

INFIDELITY.


'Tis phstl the magic spell ofsweetness
Once sublime;
The Joyous life of sunshine
Linked with thine
The happy hours of glndsome
Summer time,
And dreams of blissTnl love which
Once were mine.
The hearts dear tributes shattered,
Scorned;
The souls sweet music lightly
Mourned-
Old ties broken, new ones
Formed,
Loves fair citadel madly
Stormed.
No more the brief farewells so sad,
Yet blessed;
No more the gnawing pain of
Loves unrest;
suppressed.
No more fhe minor strains of loves
Behest.
'Twere wen, perhaps. that as theyears
To greet them with no tear,
No sigh,
But hearts wherein dear spectres
Must battle hard ere love
Can die.
once more upon thy proud form let
Me gazei
Once more thy regal beauty
Softly praisei
once more breathe low the spirit notes of
Tender lays;
Once more lift light the veil of
other days.
Then, to the glorious, pictured past
I'll llturn,
There loves sweet lessons to
Unlcarn,
And within oblivlon's midnight
The quivering flame of grief
Shollburn.
Farewelll ! and when the signing winds OF
Future hours
Play rudely mid the leaves of darkened
Bowers,
rnink kindly, then, of one whose love
Still towers
Far, far above all Earth's frail
ChRngetul powers.

Papa's Prayer and Its Answer.

The following touching incident
comes to us under the head of
"Papa's Prayer and Its Answer"
"At his family altar, ono morning,
a man prayed that God would help
a poor noighbor who lived just
across tho street. The neIghbor
was in great deal of distress that
money could relieve. In his prayer
tho we'll odo brother told tho
Lord all about how badly off his
neighbor was, and asked Him to do
everything for him that was need
cd. AS he arose from his knees
and wiped his moist eyes, feeling
pretty we'll satisfied with himself,
his little boy won't up to him and
said-'Givo mo your pocketbook,
papa, and I'll go over to Mr..
Smiths and answer your prayer
myself"

Tho Philadelphia Record throws
out this hint, which wo commend to
our merchants;
In mono of our cities is there moro
alert advertising by retailers than
in Washington, whero the smaller
stores have been quick to emulate
tho example of the larger ones in
announcing special sales for certain
days, often for certain hours, at
special prices; and with successful
results the evidence of success bo.
ing that they keep it up. What is
possible in Washington is just as
possible in other cities. Shoppers
will read the trade announcement
that concern thom, regardless OF the
size of the stores from which they
emanate.

PrimnrY EIectIon.

The following from the Kannwha
Gazette, of Tuesday, 30 nearly ac-
cords with our views upon the sub
ject treated, that we in manner
adopt it:
In the issues of tho Gazette of
Friday, Saturday and yesterday
there were published answers from
eighty representative Democrats OF
our State, in which they gave their
views us to the policy being advoca-
ted by tho Gazette for holding a
State primary election for nominal
ing all officers to be voted for at tho
Novemb Der election, from Governor
down to constable.
Ofthese 80 there were 63 who un
hesitatingly indorse tho idea and in
unmistakable terms; 10 oppose it
and 2 non. .committal. Nearly 80
per cent of those whose views had
been obtained at tho closo of the
first three days heartily favor the
system which will give evory Demo
crat in the State an opportunity to
express himself in tho selection Of
candidates to be voted for. Tho
reason these mon advocate tho Jri-
mary system is very palpnhle.
They firmly believe it will give
moro satisfaction to tho great mass
es of the voters and that it is the
fundamental principle of pure De
mocracy of the few who oppose the
primary election some want and
think wo must have State plat
form. Ono of our correspondents
has woll snid that the record of the
Democratic party in this State for
tho past 25 years, which stands on
dorsed by tho only Republican
Legislature had during that time, is
all the platform our party needs.
Others object because it is new
departure and there being no pre-
cedent for primary-as we have
repeatedly said the Democratic
party is capable of making its own
precedent, and if the great majority
OF the Democrats of the State want
and demand primary election to
nominate our candidates as they
are now demanding, it will be far
better to let their will and wishes
suggest and mako precedent than
to go on adhering to precedents
which the people do not want. No
trouble in tho world about having
tho primary election and having it
fairly conducted at much less cost
than conventions and much more
to the satisfaction of the people 80
far as the good and success of the
Democratic party is concerned
The Democracy is demanding q
primary election. Let as have it.

If Russia means mischief in Korea

With Japan, which will fight before
she will permit Russia to gobble

be confined TO these two countries

probability is that it could not be.
1t may be that the match which
has been expected TO set all Europe

If japan be left to fight it out

"In all serious candor, we ask our

the Democratic party has proven to

Democrats affirm this to be true,
and it does not require declara.

deny this and have been do.

not ask any moro convincing proof

only Republican Legislature which
has controlled our State since 1869.
