AN UNSAVOKY CAsf
Which Was Tired in the Jail q fice $ iturday
Might

Justice Fitzpatrick tried case Sat
urday night in the Office Of the county
Jail. in which the defendant was a girl
living on Water street. who was charg-
ed by her mother with being not OF
good fame. The warrant alleged that
She freuuented q house Of i'll fame. The
house in question is on Market square,
and the evidence which was introduced
did not prove its character.
The evidence brought out the fact
that the mother employed man who
represented himself to be private &c
tective. to watch the daughter, and to
ascertain the character Of the house she
visited. The evidence of the detect
i've" was contradictory, and when he
had concluded, the Justice dismissed
the proceedings.
It was evident that some previous ar
rangement had been made by which,
in the event of a verdict Of guilty was
given by the Justice, the mother sought
TO secure possession Of the girl to have
her sent to a school in Baltimore.

WAS A GREAT PAPER.
Yesterdays Edition of the Sunday Register
Met All Requirements.

Yesterdays edition of the Sunday
Register was a magnificent specimen
of the modern newspaper.
In every department OF newsgather-
ing. from the special cable service to the
news of the neighboring towns in Ohio
and West Virginia, the entire field was
covered in the most satisfactory man
ner. while our exceptional facilities for
handling late occurrences enabled the
Register TO publish more details about
the big fire in Cincinnati, which 1or a
time seriously threatened an important
business district. than any other paper
outside of the Queen City itself. Even
so good a paper as the PlttsDurg DIS
patch had nothing of this fire, while the
Register published half a column. The
Register makes a specially Of getting
late news before its readers, and this
item is a case in point.
The local news field was thoroughly
and accurately covered, while the var
ious departments. from sport to secret
societies. and from oil to social matters,
was carefully and exclusively review
ed.
The special drllCleS Nele HulhCi Jus

AS a whole. it was about the bright

issued in the city of Wheeling, or in
any other city of twice or thrice our
population, and the large enquiry and
demand for copies attested the public
satisfaction.

MARTINS FERRY.

To-day municipal and township cleo
lions take place I'm the county. and the
same offices. although not very important.
are being warmly contested for. At Mar
tins Ferry the candidates for Council! are
making a strong fight and although the
town is q Republican stronghold. it is
expected that at least two or three of the
new members Of Council will be Demo-
Gratis. In the fight for School Board the
Republicans are making a big howl about
the women candidates on the Democratic
ticket. and have even gone SO far as to
have articles published stating that this
was done 10 influence the vote of the wo-
men. and advising the women voters to
vote the straight Republican ticket and
keep politics out Of the School Board. and
make it solidly Republican. That Is keep
ing politics out of the School Board so
some short-sighted Republicans claim.
The women candidates have made good
canvass and il seems TO have frightened
the &. o. p. ring leaders TO some extent.
They viii make excellent members of the
educational body. and it IS expected that
they will be elected. In the fight for as
SCISSORS of the different wards Edward
Shrodes. the Democratic candidate of the
First ward. will probably be elected. while
the other wards are uncertain. The candi-
dates for constables are John Walters and
Al Conway. Democrats. and Thomas
Thompson and Thomas II. Stanton. Re
puhucans. MesSrs. Walters and Conoway
are making a hard fght against their oppo-
nents. and would undoubtedly make good
officers The township vote is heavily
Democratic ard this viii put them in a
good position TO come out Of the victors Of
the fray. y stiff fight is being put up for
the other offices on the Democratic side.
and they expect TO elect a part of the
township ticket at least.

Kansas Bribery investigation Is Putting
 tho ex-Govern0r in . Position Where Ex-
 plantations VIII Be Necessary.
 TOPEKA, Kan, April 1O.-When the bribery investigation committee ad- journed Thursday, Senator l.. D. Lewelling, Representative Frank H. Smith and ex-Representative Dave Hanna were in disgrace. When the committee adjourned yesterday Lewel. ling was deeper in disgrace than ever, Hanna was where Representative Metzler had left him, and Smith had changed places with Representative Clark, who made the charge of attempted bribery against him. Lewelling's additional troubles were caused by brother Senator-Titus--wbo swore that Lew. elling sought to corrupt him by hold ing out dishonest inducements for him to work against the school bill. This charge, coming on the top of the coal lands story, told Thursday by Warden Landis of the penitentiary, created a profound sensation and furnished Lew. cling material for an explanation which will be most inteSsting.

THE "AlRSHIP" IN IOWA. Alleged to Have Been Seen at Many Points
 Near Cedar Rapids.
 BURLINGTON, la, April 1O.-The air ship, which has frequently made its

appearance in neighboring states, was seen by hundreds of people in eastern Iowa last night. Reports from all along the line of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern railroad say that the mysterious aerial craft has been seen by every operator and station agent between West Liberty and Cedar Rapids. They all describe it about the same way. A bright, glaring head light, revealing glistening steel hull, dim, wing-like projections on either side and hissing sound as it glides through the air. Excitement exists at all the above mentioned points, and people crowd the streets of the towns and cities in hope of catching sight of the object.
 CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia., April 10.-The ''airship" was seen here last night. It was first noticed about nine o'clock, when it was seen in the northwest heavens at an angle of about 45 de- grees. It was moving slowly and by ten o'clock had faded from view. At 10:SO o'clock dispatch from North wood, in the extreme northern part of the state, said the mysterious ship was due west of there. Here it looked like an immense star, swaying from side to side.

It has been agreed that not a word on either side.shau be said in reference to the rumors of mis- conduct that have been afoat concern ing Dr. Martin and the reason for his withdrawal from the church. Dr. Martin has been prominent in religious and political affairs and has been fre- quently mentioned as President Me- Kinley's probable appointee as consul general to Cuba.

SEED DISTRIBUTION.

Secretary Wilson Will Aim to Diversity the
 Farm Products of the Country.
 WASHINGTON, April 10.-Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has initiated new system of seed distribution in his de- partment. His aim is to diversity so far as possible the farm products of the country, and t9 this end he is making speciality of selecting new and valuable seeds from all parts of the world and putting them in the hands of farmers likely to use them to advantage. He has begun the work with sugar beets and leguminous plants of all sorts. While sugar beets are now widely cul- tivated in the west, the best seed at present comes from abroad. A large supply of these high grade seeds has been ordered and will be judiciously distributed.

 LONDON, April s.-The Paris corre- spondent of the Times says the sultan has addressed an autograph letter to the czar expressing his extreme satis- faction at the energy which the czar has displayed in getting the pow CTS to adopt the principle of the integ- rity of Turkey. The sultan hopes that neither Russia nor the other pow. srs vii, abandon that attitude. He solemnly aAirins his profound defer. .nce to Europe and his extreme desire to conform to its wishes and counsels and adds that he considers the expres. sion of desire on the part of the powers as legitimate and dictated by q senti- ment of genuine friendship for the Ottoman people, their sovereign and empire.

M-Fated Town of Arlington, Ga., Struck by
 Cyclone-Several Killed.
 ATLANTA, Ga., April 10.-Telegrams from Ozark, Ala, valdosta Crossing and the ill-fated town of Arlington, Ga., show that this section was visited yesterday by another gulf tornado, ascending the Apallatchicola valley and sweeping northward with ter rife force to the confluence of the Chattahoochie and the Flint rivers, where it divided. In one direc- tion, toward Ozark, where timbers were uprooted and houses blown to pieces, several persons lost their lives, among them Mrs. Powers, who was caught beneath the falling tim bers of her house and crushed. The rest of the family was rescued, among them baby three weeks old, whom the mother protected at the cost of her own life. The second section of the tornado was defected upon the Flint valley, breaking across south Georgia and passing through Arlington, where but few weeks ago nine children were killed in the ruins of their schoolhouse. Reaching Val dosta, the storm became intensified in fury and trees were blown down in every part of the city. A church in the southern part of the city was wrenched from its foundations and twisted into fragments by the angry winds. From many other towns in the vicinity reports of equally alarming nature are coming in.
