Governor Atkinson yesterday after
noon granted pardon to Fred staecke,
of Benwood. who at the recent term of
the circuit court in Marshall county,
was found guilty OF involuntary man
slaughter and sentenced to four months
In jail and to pay a fine of $3.50 and
costs, The petition for his pardon was
circulated the day following his SEN
tence, and It soon received many sig
natures, among them being the names
of the jury
This feature ends case that en-
crossed the attention OF the citizens of
Marshall county for months back. The
BOggs' run ARRAY one Sunday evening
In July, is still fresh in the minds OF the
reading public, Staecke was one Of a
party returning home from private
picnic. At the Boggs' run bridge n
party OF Benwood young men drove
along Ia picnic wagon. Words about
one party crowdlng the other followed,
and Edward Pearl was one. OF those
who clambered down from the wagon.
In the fight that resulted, he was stab
he'd SO that he died few days after
ward.
staeeke's pardon was speedy Il being
less than two weeks since he was con-
victed. He Is an engineer at the
Wheeling steel works, and bears a
splendid reputation. His pardon not on
ly does away with his jail sentence. but
absolves him also from payment OF the
fine or costs.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Last night the comic opera "Klsmet,"
was given Its first production in Wheel
ing, in the presence of a rather small au-
dlence, in the Opera House, What the
audience lacked In numbers was made
up in enthusiasm, especially in the sec
eRd act, when some effective situations
aud clmaxes were evolved. The dIa-
logue Is bright and full OF humor, and
the speeialties that are introduced during
the course OF the play are excellent Miss
Minerva Door, as "Klsmet, the sultan"
who is in reality girl, and ''Haideez,"
the sultan's sister, who IS a boy, imper-
sonated by Mr., Edwin II. Carroll. be-
came especial favoribes OF the audience.
Miss Doors vocal abilities are of no
mean calibre, and Mr.. Carroll is a come
dian who ranks with the best OF them,
The chorus Is exceptionally strong
"Klsmet" VIII be repeated this evening,
when the engagement closes. The piece
deserves a larger audience than last
nights, which was probably kept down
by the Indictment weather,

MAHARA,s M1NsrRELs.

The Maharn Brothers, who bring their
mammoth minstrel company to the
Grand opera house tor a half week
commencing Thursday, are among the
most progressive managers In their line
of business who are to-day catering to
the amusement-loving public, leaving
the old rut in which so many similar
organizations have been travelling, they
have taken an entirely new road, They
introduce what the public are clamoring
for, real novelties, and from the rise to
the fall of the curtain they follow each
other In rapid succession. Many ar
lists of national reputation are on
their programme, which proves that
they only have the best In that line
In their company are singers who one
cannot but be surprised at TO find on
the minstrel stage, and their voices are
well worthy OF being placed in q much
higher line OF entertainment, and moth
Ing but the most hattering reports come
in from all places that have had the
pleasure of seeing them.

Jurors. his own opinions in regard to
the merits Of the case in hand. Re-
Gently, In giving such a charge, he ex-
pressed his views very plainly, but to
his amazement the jury remained out
for scme hours.
The Judge inquired Of the officer what
was the matter, and learned from him
that one Juror was holding out against
the orher eleven. He sent for tie jury
at once, and stating to the jurors that
he had plainly intimated how the case
ought to be decided, said he understood
that one juror was standing out against
the other eleven. He proceeded to re-
buke the juror sharply.
The obstinate juror, as 1t happened,
WAS a nervous little man, and as soon
as the Judge was done, he arose and
said:

ASKS FOR DAMAGES.
The Vandercock Company Demand
Return Of Wines and $4,000.

The yandercock Company Demand
Return Of Wines and $4,000.
The W. A. Vandercock Company, of
San Francisco, Cal, proposes to make
the State, or perhaps, the county and
city of Charleston, pay for the damages
done to it by the seizure and cont sea,
ton by the constables Of their carload
of liquor last month. ,
In the United States circuit court at
Charleston, Messrs. Bryan & Bryan,

house, fled proceedings supplementary
to those filed several days ago. The
papers filed review the facts relative to
the seizure, with which the public is
familiar, and states that demand has
been made upon the parties defendant,
for the return of the liquor, but those
demands have been ignored.
The bill states that the eighty SIX
packages of wines and whiskeys which
have been seized are valued at 81, 900
and the company desires the return OF
either the liquor or its equivalent In
cash, and $4,000 for damages for loss
of its business, inconveniences, annoy
ances, etc. The bill names the identi-
cal parties as defendants who were
named couple of weeks ago: 5. W.

A New Bicycle Brake.

While the bicycle brake is not a very
popular attachment to wheel, every
body is interested in whatever new in
ventions in this line are presented to
the public. This latest improvement
Is made in the form Of ROLLER at
tached to a vertical rod. This roller
is pressed more or less firmly upon the
tire, and as it revolves with the tire,
the wearing qualities are greatly
decreased. The roller brake has been
used before, but has proved inefficient
from lack Of firmness. The new idea
comprehends an inner roller Of fine
steel, which assists in maintaining the
pressure of the rubber upon the tire.

A reporter recently called at this famous
seat OF learning and was shown into the
room OF the President, Prof. Alvin P. Bar
naby. When last seen by the reporter Prof.
Barnaby was in delicate health. To-day he
was apparently in the best Of health. In
response to an inquiry the professor said:
"Oh, yes, I am much better than for some
time. I am now in perfect health; but my
recovery was brought about In rather Pc
culiar way"
"Tell me about it." said the reporter.
s'Well, to begin at the beginning" said
the professor, "I studied too hard when at
school, endeavoring to educate myself for
the professions. After completing the COM
mon course I came here, and graduated
from the theological course. I entered the
ministry, and accepted the charge Of q
United Brethren Church at q small place In
Kent County, Mich. Being Of an ambitious
nature, applied myself diligently to my
work and studies. In time I noticed that
nv health was failing. My trouble was In
digestion, and this with other troubles
brougk. on nervousness.
"My physician prescribed for me for
some time, and advised me to take Z
change Of climate. did as he requested
and was some improved. Soon after, I
came here as professor in physics and
chemistry, and later was financial agent OF
this college. The change agreed with me,
and for awhile my health was better, but
my duties were heavy, and again I found
my trouble returning. This time 1t was
more severe, and in the winter became
completely prostrated. I tried various
medicines and different physicians. Finally,
I was able to return to my duties. Last
spring was elected President Of the COL
lege. Again had considerable work, and
the trouble which had not been entirely
cured. began to affect me, and last fall
collapsed. I had different doctors, but
none did me any good. Professor Bowman,
who is professor Of natural science, told
me Of his experience with DR.. Williams
pink pills for Pale People and Urged me to
give them trial, because they had bene-
2ted him In q similar case, and concluded
to try them.
"The first box helped me, and the second
gave great relief, such as never had ex-
perienced from the treatment OF any physi-
cian. After using six boxes Of the medi-
cine I was entirely cured. To-day am
perfectly well. I feel better and stronger
than for years. I certainly recommend
this medicine"
To allsy all doubt Professor Barnaby
cheerfully made an affidavit before
