Would Not Scare Worth a Cent.

The Washington Times says there
was quarrel in the House, two or
three days ago, between Congressman
Dovener, of West Virginia, and n. P.
Mccormick, a new Populist from Kan
sas. Their trouble occurred on the
floor of the House.
1t was late last Saturday afternoon,
and the roll was being called on one OF
the appropriation bills. Mr.. McCor-
mick wanted to vote, and the rule re-
curing his presence in the chamber
during rollcall was being explained
to him, Capt, Dovener called over to
Mr.. Mccormick, across the hail. that
he had no right to vote. This angered
the Populist gentleman and very
heated words were passed Capt.
Dovener is small man, and McCor-
mick is nearly twice his size. But the
little West Virginian said he didn' t
care how big his antagonist was, he
would like to fight him. They agreed
to adjourn to some place outside the
Capitol.
Representative Rowland Blenner-
hasset Mahany, who sat near Mr.. Nc
Cormick, finally persuaded the two
gentlemen to shake hands and max
up.

WORK FOR THE GRAND JURY.
A Modern Enoch Arden Almost as
Bad -BIackmaiI.

A peculiar case Of domestic inielicity
exists in this community. There is a
family that should be composed of a
husband and wife and five children
but such is not the case4 There is a
boarder there who has supplanted the
husband in the affections of the wife
and occupies the position which mod
ern civilization and the law Of the
land guarantees to him who took the
woman for better and for worse. The
fact is, the husband has been rudely
thrust aside and does not even attain
to that position in the family which
should be accorded to an ordinary
boarder. And the singular feature is
that he has accepted the situation with
the best grace possible and talks Of
taking his children and departing in
peace.
1t also appears that he is not abso-
lutely sure whether his unfaithful
spouse will allow him to take the
children, one of whom is babe about
four or five months old.
One of our church societies inter
ested themselves in the family and
prohered assistance, but the wife does
not seem to appreciate their efforts.
On the other hand the husband would
be very happy to receive money to
pay the passage of himself and chill
dren to their former home. Just what
is the proper thing to do is pulling
the minds of the charitably disposed
Christians since they have become
fully acquainted with the facts in the
case.
There are others who are very firm
in the belief that the woman and her
paramount are frst-class subjects for
coat of tar and feathers.
In order that the above may not be
misunderstood, we will state that
there is another case almost indenti-
cal with the above, but few squares
distant thetefrom, and unless there is
a reformation, sudden and complete,
we shall be compelled to give names
and locations in order that the Grand
Jury may have an opportunity to
present the matter to his honor, f.
Boyd Faulkner, Judge of the Circuit
Court of Berkeley County.
