THE members of the Columbian
literary society were very much sur
prised a day or so since to learn
that their difficulties had all been
settled and that all was peaceful
with them once more. Such con
dition might be very nice one but
it does not yet exist.
THE dwelling house of William
Edwards, situate on Tallery Noun
tain, Summers county, was totally
destroyed by fire last week, and one
of the inmates, a man by the name
of Berry, was suffocated before he
could make his escape, and was
burned with the building
THE Republicans in Congress are
now up in arms about the large pen
sion list, and are charging that it is
full Of frauds, and that millions of
dollars are paid out annually on
fraudulent pension claims. They are
also preparing bill to cut off the
widows of soldiers, and also to pro-
vide for stopping the pension, if the
widow should marry again.
AN exchange says: A fraud is
going over the country selling bogus
recommendations to young men for
securing positions in cities. He
charges $2,5 and guarantees the buy
er position. The guarantee is
worth just as much as the recon-
mediation. He also deludes the peo-
pie with the idea that by getting a
letter of recommendation from him
they can buy goods at wholesale
prices. He is fraud with a sleek
tongue, and should be snubbed on all
sides.
THE course of true love certainly
runs in rough and riotous fashion at
Clarksburg. Ralph Brown was way
laid and sandbagged while return
ing from a call on his lady friend in

rival Monday night. Only a few
weeks ago another lover was SINH
larly assaulted near Clarksburg and
barely escaped with his life.
DR.. BLUBAUGH and number of
physicians Of Parkersburg have organ
lied and will establish a private hos
pital to be opened the first of the
year. The building which they have
leased will be elegantly furnished and
modern in all respects. A PROPOSE
tion to secure Sisters of Mercy as
trained nurses has been made to Bish-
op Donahue, of Wheeling, and the
promoters are awaiting his decision in
the matter.
A SPECIAL from Kingwood SAYS
that G. /. Trowbridge, of Beechurs
who started over there against the
advice of his physicians arrived
there all right. He has just recov-
cred from a very serious attack of
lever and was in no condition to
make the trip but was seemingly
none the worse for it. He will make
his home for the time with his father
in-law who lives there.
THIS is the day which was set for
the execution of Morgan, the Jack
son county murderer. He has been
protesting his intention not to hang
but the probabilities are that he has
expatiated his horrible crime on the
scaffold. The Ohio River Railroad
refused to run excursions to the
hanging although they were deluged
by applications to do so. Immense
crowds attended however The ex-
ecution was public.
WE regret to learn Of the death of
Capt Isaac p Kendall which occur
red at Masontown, Pa, a few days
ago. Deceased was known here as
he was a visitor of Chas. D. Ale
baugh occasionally. He was largely
interested in the coal and coke bust
ness and had $4,000 stock in the
gas and coal lands around Mason
town. The remainder of his estate

land at 5000 per acre. Capt. Ken.

the command of company of vol
unteers which he recruited for SER
