Mrs. Robert J. Fleming Dead.
Fairmont Index.

At seven O'Clock last Saturday
morning, May 22d, 1897, death came
to Mrs. Robert J. Fleming after sew
en- years suffering with tumor,
which was the prime cause of her
death, although several other compli-
cations enter into the immediate
cause of her death.
Mrs. Fleming was, before her mar
riage in 1866, Miss Ann L. Marstellar,
daughter of the late B. p. Marstel-
lar, of Morgantown, and was born in
1910. She was educated at the public
schools of that place, and joined the
Presbyterian church there in 1866, a
few months before her marriage to
Mr.. Fleming.
Since her marriage her home has
been in this city, with the exception
Of from 1887 to 1889, when the family
moved to Clarksburg In 1871 she
removed her church membership to
the First Presbyterian church of this
city, and since that time has been in
timately connected with the good
work which has originated in that
edifice
Through her sufferings for the last
several years, the same trusting dispo-
sition has been noticeable that char
acterized her in her religious life. Al
though not unexpected, her death
came as deep sorrow to her many
friends, both in this city and Morgan
town.
She leaves besides her husband, six
children: Mrs. Grant Cummins, Of
Grafton, Misses Ida and Mamie, who
are milliners at Evansville, Ohio, Miss
Bertha, who is engaged by the Will
hanson, DAVIDSON Co., at Clarks-
burg, Mrs. Stanley Lloyd, Of Wheel
ing, and one son, Escott, the youngest
child, who is seventeen years Of age.
Two of her sisters, Mrs. E. j. Nuzum,
Of this city, and Mrs. William Dancer
of Morgantown, and brother, s. f.
Marstellar, Of Clinton, Michigan, sur
vive her.
The funeral services were held at
four o'clock Sunday afternoon and
were conducted by her pastor. Rev.
Lewis w. Barr, assisted by Rev. A. Il.
Fletcher. Her remains were inferred
at Woodlawn cemetery, the funeral
being an unusually large one.
The bereaved husband desires us to
extend thanks to the community at
large for their kind treatment during
her sickness, and assures US that the
kindness Of few special friends can
never be forgotten by the family.

her death was not unexpected. She
is the third member of the Swindler

death peculiarly distressing. Owing

Hanna Denies the Power of Protective
Tariff to Raise Wages.

Hanna is apostate to the principles
of protection. The excuse for protec-
tion has always been that it raises the
workingman's wages, no matter what
the condition of the labor market may
be. Under protection it was not neces-
sary that the surplus labor should be
employed before wages would rise.
Protection would inevitably bring
about rise. But Mark Hanna says
Of the present situation, under full
protection:
1T is necessary that business should
improve so much that the surplus Of
labor shall be used up before it is pos
sible that the general scale of wages
shall be advanced. 1t is the same old
principle of supply and demand"
This is very significant. 1t practi-
cally denies the power Of a protective
tariff to increase wages. Not until the
surplus labor-the thousands begging
for work in the large cities and tramp
ing the country-:s absorbed can
wages be expected to rise. No one
claims that under protection surplus
labor is ever absorbed. If this were
SO, strikes would succeed under pro.
lection to greater extent than under
low tariff. But they do not.
Mark Hanna knows, if anybody
does, that it is the law OF supply and
demand that fixes wages and not a
high tariff. And he has in an un-
guarded moment said so, thereby an
nouncing himself an apostate to the
Mckinley doctrine.

French authorities say that the in

men-of-war has caused eye complaints
among the sailors, some of which have
led to complete blindness. Gray and

bles are due not only to tie intensity

to the action of the ultra violet rays.
1t is asserted by a correspondent of

HAD HI AN ACJ0MPLTOE?
Goodwin's Conversation Arouses a Suspic
ion in HIS Guards Mind.

Walter Goodwin, who is III Wells
boro jail under sentence of death, still
shows abundant nerve. He appears
quite unconcerned about his fate and
talks freely with his keeper on the
subject.
A few days ago he began to specu-
late upon the date of his execution.
He said that if the governor did not
fix the date very soon, he didn't be-
lieve that he would do SO until next
spring. Then Goodwin again stoutly
denied that he killed his wife. "Why,"
said he, 81 know the people are
against me and believe that l am
guilty. l would confess the crime
now if had anything to confess,
There is nothing for me to make now
by keeping my mouth shut. But l
suppose might as well be hanged as
any one else" He went on to say
that some one certainly murdered
Effie and that that person ought to
be hanged. He talked to his keeper
SO much upon this subject that he has
more than half convinced HIM that
there was another person connected
with the foul crime who was perhaps
! the principal actor on that tateful
Friday night.
Goodwin still manipulates his dirty
pack of cards more or less, but he
gives some time to reading the Bible,
and he has been heard to say that it
Is a pretty good book. He has
found time, however, to devour a pile
of old novels In the Jail, and to finger
his banjo, which was brought to him
last week.
