Tribute of Respect.

Whereas, it has pleased the
Supreme Ruler of the Universe to
call from labor and to rest our
worthy and beloved comrade,
VIM. Watson,
Therefore, be it resolved by
Washington Camp, No. 239,
United, Confederate Veterans,
that we bow in humble submis-
sion to the inscrutable Providence
which has removed our comrade
from among us, thereby depriv-
ing this Camp of an active and
honored companion, whose in
fluence was exercised for the
welfare of his Camp, and the
good and happiness of his COM
rades.
Resolved further, That the
members of this Camp remember
Comrade Watson as ever obser-
want of his obligations to his
country as a soldier; active and
faithful in the performance of his
every duty; generous and liberal
in his charities.
Resolved, That this Camp fully
endorse the uniform verdict of all
who knew our deceased comrade,
and say with them that as a citi-
zen, he was public spirited, ever
ready to assume and perform the
full requirements of good citizen
ship; that in his relations and
dealings with his fellows he was
Just and fair, recognizing the
rights of others and scrupulously
meeting and performing his every
duty and obligation to them.
Resolved, That the heartfelt
grief of those nearest to him is
the fullest testimonial to his
memory in the sacred relation of
husband and father, and we dare
only invade these with the kind
est and fullest expression of our
love and sympathy.
Resolved, That the city press
be requested to publish these res
olutions.
Respectfully submitted.

few months ago, became jealous of
her and they separated. she first
going to her home at Gallipolis.
where she was raised, thence to
Columbus, Ohio, to work In
restaurant for a Mr.. Betz. He
followed her to Columbus, and
called at the house to see her about
7 o'clock, Wednesday evening, to
have talk with her, and she told
him to come around to the side
door into the sitting room and she
would see him. He went around
as directed, carrying with him an
old army musket, which was un-
observed at the time, and set it
just outside the door, and went in,
and after conversing with her for
some time, stepped to the3:door and
got the gun and shot her in one of
her limbs, tearing away all the
flesh, shattering the bone and sew
ering the large arteries. from the
effects of which she died in about
forty minutes from the loss of
blood. There were several persons
sitting in an adjoining room, but
no one knows what took place be-
tween man and wife. their FIRST
knowledge being the terrific re-
port of the musket, which fairly
shook the house, when they rush.
ed in, and found the wife upon the
floor in the throes of death. He
escaped, and is supposed TO be
making his way back to Gallipolis.
She leaves son three years of
age, who was sweetly slumbering

It is not well 70 let misguided
spirit of compassion interfere with
the proper disciplining of the hobo.
In great majority of cases the
tramp is a tramp because he pre-
fers tramping to working. Mem
dicancy and theft are more con-
genial to him than labor. He
must be dealt with accordingly.
The best thing to do with the hobo
is to keep him moving. If he is
willing to work, that is different
thing. But never turn him away
from your door hungry. no matter
what may be his shortcomings.

We are told that on Kanawha
Sixteen, Tuesday, two deer were
killed by parties living up there.
They had been driven out of the
mountains by the forest fires, and
were making for the river. The
parties who killed them violated
the game law, and may get them
selves into trouble when the Game
Warden makes an Investigation.

Serious trouble is anticipated
with the coal miners in the Kama
wha valley within the next three or
four days. Papers were prepar-
ed at Charleston. yesterday, in
nearly four hundred suits for the
eviction of miners from company
houses, and as soon as these cases
can be tried and evictions begun,
which will be about the last of the
week, trouble is looked for. An
attempt was made yesterday to be-
gin work at severel of the mines,
but the men were afraid to go to
work.
The strikers met at Montgomery
Tuesday morning and formed a
procession of three hundred, with
two brass bands, and marching
along the river front to Mt. Carbon,
passing a number of mines where
they expected to force out men
whom they might find at work.
They found no one at work, how
ever, and returned, The strikers
are growing very bitter toward the
operators. and they seem to.be de-
termined to cause trouble.

Gen. McCausland was in town

Gen. McCausland was In town
yesterday, paying his taxes. and
when he presented orders to the
Sheriff, payable out of the levy of
1896, Sheriff Porter declined to
take them up. but readily took or
ders payable out of the levy of
1897. The Sheriff is no doubt
right in taking care of the orders
allowed in his term, and if he car
ries out the plan he has adopted,
he will have sufficient leyies in his
hands to meet all demands against
him during his term of Office. To
pay out on old orders. would only
cause him endless trouble and vex-
alton. Let the old taxes pay the
back orders. No one can blame
Mr.. Porter for protecting himself.
This ruling of the Sheriff. how
ever, knocks out the position of
the Gazette that this levy should
be a.creelft on the outstanding or
ders of the years preceding 1897.
