The New tame Law.

The impression entertained by
some of our people that the new W.
Va, game law forbidding the killing
Of cartridges, wild turkeys, RULED
grouse and pheasants does not take
effect uutil Jan. LIST, 1898, is entirely
erroneous. The act was passed Feb.
%, 1897, and took effect ninety days
after its passage. IT provides that
none of the birds mentioned shall be
hunted, killed or held in possession by
any one for two years from that date,
upon pain of being fined not less than
So nor more than $25, one-half the
fine to go to the informer. The Of
fender may also be imprisoned in the
county Jail for not more than 80
days. Another section of the same
act forbids the use Of ferrets for the
purpose of catching rabbits or driv-
ing them into their burrows under
penalty of fine of not less than So
nor more than $40.

An Historical Town.

Lewisburg is the Oldest town in the
State, and from its many dark blue
limestone buildings it looks as If it
might defy many more centuries of
time. 1t is the same to-day as it was
before the war, and it looks as if it
may be the same henceforth and for
ever. 1t has the same sleepy lock
the same lack of hustle and ANNA
ton the same set of hotel loungerS
who swoke and recount deeds of for
mer times, the same stumbling old
negro men with their cabins, cabbage
patches and pig styes, so familiar to
the residents further South. 1t
was founded by William Lewis, one
of the famous Lewis family, and the
first fort was called Fort Donnally.
1t was from here that Gen. Andrew
Lewis and his brother, Col. Charles
Lewis marched overland to the mouth
of the Kanawha river with the army
of Virginia, cutting down Chief Corn
stalk and scattering his braves. 1t
was only a few miles from here that
the famous "Greenbrier Massacre
occurred. 1t was here that one of
the hottest little fights of the civil
war occurred, and not far away the
famous battle of Droop Mountain
took place. 1t is here that the finest
old church in both States stands-the
old Stone Church. built one hun
dred and one years ago by the Pres
byterians. of that never to be destroy
ed material, blue limestone, and to-
day it is as good as if a century Of
time had not whirled off its cycles
over its old stone tower. In Gods
half acre, which lies back OF this
grand old Kirk lie buried the re-
mains of many famous man-men
famous in war and famous in peace;
famous as soldiers l776 and as soldiers
of the late war; famous as statesmen,
preachers and citizens.

When the charges against Prose
cutting George NJ Alexander and
Sheriff r. L.Cunningham, OF Marion
county, were first made but little at
tention was paid to them The
Judge ruled them out as improperly
prepared. The charges were liled
Jointly instead Of against each Oil
Ger separately
Nothing daunted second set
were drawn up by Attorney W, IL.
Martin. who represented A. L Hill.
These were found to be in proper
form and accordingly YESTERDAY
morning summonses were issued In
the case which was set for the 18th.
What the outcome OF the case will
be is predetermined but Messrs
Alexander and Cunningham profess
to have no fears as to its results
The charges are very serious calling
into question the integrity of the
officials The assertion is made that
keepers of speakeasies aud houses
of ill-fame haze been SYSTEMATICALLY
bribing the officials and have regu-
lar contracts with them.
However much light is shed on
the question when it is remembered
that not only is Hill under various
indictments but his lawyer is as
well. Martin is now under two in
dictments which if sustained will
land him in the penitcntiary He
is charged with misrepresentation of
funds in several cases which were
given into his charge. At any tate
the case savors strongly of bluff.
Nothing whatever is expected to
come OF it as far as Alexander is
concerned. He is well kaown here
and every one has e greatest PCS

believe that he is wholly incapable
of doing anything which would he

John Morgan who was captured
Saturday evening at Walton and
taken to the Spencer Jail, was safely
lodged in the Jail at Ripley Sunday
morning about 10 O'clock and now
occupies the same cell from which he
escaped last Thursday night. As
soon as the constable reached Spencer
with his prisoner the streets were
filled with crowd, which would have
lynched him aud ii leader with de-
termination appeared among them.
All through the night the crowd
kept growing and it began to be a
question with the officers how they
would get their prisoner away. Ac-
cident solved the problem for them
While they were considering what to
do with their prisoner fire broke
out near the depot and the crowd
rushed down the hill to the station

well handcuffed, to the carriage and
left the town before the mob knew
what was being done. They drove
through muddy roads and swollen
streams all night and reached Ripley
about II O'Clock, while most of the
people were at church.
Morgan verified the truth of the
old saying that murderer always
returns to the scene OF his crime.
After escaping from the Jail about
1880 Thursday night Morgan says he
went first to his own home ten miles
in the country, and spent two hours
with his wife. Then he went to the
scene of the murder and filled his va
lice with apples which he had buried
there before his arrest. He hid by
day and Travelled by night, most of
the way on horseback so blood hounds
could not track him. He rode all

night. He took dinner Saturday

JUSTICE SHOEMAKER HOLDS
COURT.
Several Interesting Cases decided by
iiim-A transferable COurtship.

Justice Shoemaker has been very
busy man for the past few days
Two cases have been before him in
which several people were interested
The first of these was the Wolf tur-
key case in which the right to forty
turkeys was involved. The second
was a case from Hardscrabble a
small place on the mountain. Miss
Carrie Hayden on Saturday swore
out warrant for Jasper Kinkaid
charging him with rape The offense
was alleged to have been committed
last August. Constable Shoemaker
on yesterday made the arrest with
out any trouble and brought the
young man to town.
After hearing the case Prosecutor
Lazzelle advised hat the charge be
withdrawn. The statement of the
girl showed that the young man had
been going with her for some time
and that they intended to get mar
ried. The other facts in the case
did not warrant the charge and it
was withdrawn by the plaintiff The
young fellow stated that he was go
ing to marry the girl some time
next week.
