TWO BRIDGES

tempting Offer by the Canton Bridge

Mr.. r. Meredith who has been
here for a few days trying to make
arrangements for the construction
of two bridges has gone home with
out having accomplished very much.
The project being considered by
Geo. Baker will be allowed to lie a
while longer before any final action
is taken. 1t was proposed to build
a bridge over the ravine back of DIR.
Fitch's to the land owned by baker
and Others and add this plat to the
available sites in the town. The
project would have been very sue
cessful one but on account of the
ear that present circumstances did
not justify it was abandoned.
The other matter he has been en-
gagged with was the bridge to Green
mont from Peasants street. This
structure would throw the entire
sweep Of country on that side of
town right into the city. The results
would have been extremely profita
Bile to the owners of the land who
were dickering with Mr.. Meredith.
The cost of the proposed structure
scared them out although it would
not have been excessive as the com
pany agreed to charge only the &C
tual cost of the undertaking plus 2%
Nothing better could have been
asked but the funds available were
not sufficient. There were but $4,000
for the purpose and that was not
over two thirds of what it would
have cost. However the necessary
amount may be raised later when
the same offer will hold good.

GLAD TO GET BACK.
He Didn't Find a Fortune in the West.

Nine years ago Swayne Lemley, or
Grant district, left this county with
his family TO try and seek fortune
ip the West, and after battling all
these years with the hot winds,
drouths, chinch-bngs, etc, he left
Johnson county, Missouri, seven
weeks ago with his family huddled in
a covered wagon--nine of them, in
GLIDING seven children, and arrived
here Friday afternoon last. He says
while travelling on the National pike
through Illinois and Indiana, 1t was
no trouble for them to make 40 miles
per day. He thinks the chances for a
poor man are much better in West
Virginia than in the west and we be-
lieve he is capable judge. Ravens

Decides the Defendant Guilty OF ln-
voluntary Manslaughter-The First
Ballet Stood Six for Acquittal and
Six for First Degree Murder, But
There Was Little Difficulty About
Reaching an Sentence
Imposed This Morning Fearing a
Demonstration, the Mayor Ordered
All Saloons Closed Last Night.
PARSONS, w. Va, December, To-
The jury in the Eastman case return
ed verdict of guilty of involuntary
manslaughter, at 5:04 o'clock this
afternoon, after being out just three
hours.
The verdict; though practical VIC
tory for the defense, was unexpected,
The majority OF the people looked
for either an acquittal on hung
jury.
While they were celebrating only
two ballots were taken, the first
standing six for acquittal and six
for murder in the first degree. This
effected a compromise after a con-
siderable discussion.
When the verdict was announced
Judge Holt Immediately ordered a
recess until o'clock this evening.
Eastman was at once surrounded
by his friends, who warmly congratu-
lated him cordially took his hands. His
equaminity was not in The least dis
turbed by these demonstrations of
friendship and, after thanking them,
he retired with the sheriff to the jail
to await the sentence of the Court.
Shortly before o'clock the court
room began to fill with people But
one dim lamp furnished illumination
for the dingy, close apartment, and
the people arriving with lighted Ian
terms made the scene interesting and
strange The mayor, when the ver-
dict was publicly announced, fearing
a demonstration on behalf of Col
Eastman. ordered all Of the saloons
closed at : o'clock
Judge Holt came into court at 1880
o'clock The crowd was breathless
with expectation, waiting TO hear the
verdict, when the judge coolly ordered
the prisoner remanded to the custody
Of the sheriff and court adjourned un-
til 9 O'Clock tomorrow morning.
A large number Of instructions
were offered by counsel on both sides.
Judge Holt returned defendants
counsel their instructions on self
defense, but added a mod iflcation de-
destroying the instruction entirely,
no AAl Iao pal
retired for consultation, and as the
result thereof directed Col. Arnett
to argue in favor OF striking out the
notifications and made feasible the
defendants plea of self-defense.
This change OF the Judge
was much of surprise to the
defendants counsel and of decided
benefit to their case. Without the
change the case Of the defense, as far
as the judge and his instructions
were concerned, was hopeless.
THE SENTENCE.
This morning at o'clock the
prisoner was brought into the court
room and he sentence was passed.
1t was that Col Eastman spend
two years in the county Jail in close
confinement. AS the verdict was
only for misdemeanor the sentence
was not expected to be more than
one year as the code expressly pro
vides that as the limit. Where the
judge gets his authority for such
verdict has not vet developed. He

deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
Illumination can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which Is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition Of the mucous surfaces.

The Inter-society COMMITTEE Meets.

The inter-society committee had a
meeting in the presidents Office last
night. Several very important mat
tiers were considered. Among them
was the manner of choosing the repre-
sentative in the intercollegiate ora
torical contests. The matter had
been laid before the faculty and had
been referred by them to the COM
mittee, Profs. Armstrong and White,
who were appointed to represent the
faculty in laying the matter before
the committee. After considering it
the committee decided to leave the
manner of choice as it is and to leave
the provision that the contestant be a
member of one of the societies as it is.
The eligibility of S. III. Bowman to
the contest was taken up and it was
decided that he might contest. He
holds degree from the Peabody Nor
NAL at Nashville, bat is a member of
the senior class here. 1t was decided
that he was an undergraduate stu.
dent, and could properly contest.

which in any event never came into

ter his death, we find his message to

Drawing in our minds from the cares
of the conflict of life for few mo-

man who led the world into broad
truth whose simple character is after
ages OF thought forcing itself to the
front just because it is so simple.
