INTERESTING CONTROVERSY.

Judge J. S. Mcdonald, of Charleston,
is in the city. and it is understood that
he is here to look after his interests
in a matter which may be brought UP
in the Supreme Court of Appeals,
Judge Mcdonald is a member of the
County Court of Kanawha, and is I'M
friendly to the liquor interests. The
County Court decided to grant license
to but four saloon keepers in the city
of Charleston. The City Council
granted license to all reputable appli-
cants. but the County Court would not
concur. The City Council then re-
fused to grant licenses to the four Sc
lected by the County Court, and Char
lesion is a dry town as result OF the
controversy. Charleston papers state
that a movement is now on foot to re-
move Judge Mcdonald.

DEATH OF p. j ALTMYER.
The Loss of One of the Best Citizens and a
Loss That is Generally Deplored-Died
After Only a Weeks Illness.

The Loss of One of the Best Citizens ant a
Loss That is Generally Deplored-Died
After Only Weeks Illness.
P. j. Altmyer, of the South Side,
died at $50 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, after a strong struggle for his life.
Mr.. Altmyer was hopeful to the last
of getting well, but it has been clearly
apparent for several days that his con-
dition did not justify the hope. He
was sick almost a week, having been
taken i'll with pneumonia on the pre-
yious Tuesday evening. The disease
was brought on by severe cold con-
tracted several weeks before.
By the death of Mr.. Altmyer the city
loses one of its best citizens and man
generally admired and beloved. There
was probably no man on the South
Side who possessed more friends and
there has not been an instance for
considerable time when there was a
loss so much deplored. Mr.. Altmyer
was honest and enterprising and these
traits contributed largely to his sue
cess in business; he possessed an ex-
ceedingly kind and generous DISPOSE
ton, which brought to him a broad
circle Of abiding friends, formed by
social and business contact. He was
noble man in every sense and i'm
pressed his splendid qualities upon
every one with whom he was thrown
into association. Not only is good cit
izen lost, but a devoted husband and
affectionate father and brother.
The deceased was 40 years of age.
He was born in McKeesport. Pa, and
moved to Wheeling while young. lie
and his brothers were all nailers and
he followed this vocation until the
nailers' strike in 1885. Mr.. Altmyer
then became engaged in the furniture
business, and managed a store in Ben
wood. He removed to the Eighth ward.
Wheeling, and successfully conducted
a furniture and undertaking business
on the South Side. Mr.. Altmyer's
death came at a time when he had just
opened up an attractive new store room
at Thirty-siXth and Jacob streets, and
had added largely to his business with
the expectation of remaining many
more years in active business.
He leaves a wife. whose maiden name
was Mary Dimmey, daughter of Joseph
Dimmey, of this vicinity, and three
children, Samuel, Stella and Lucy.
He has also five brothers and four sis
ters living, viz: Joseph, Christian and
Matthias, of this city; Nicholas of
McKeesport, Pa; George, of Detroit;
Mrs. Catherine Bollinger, Mrs. Eliz-
abeth He'll, of Wheeling; Mrs. Martha
Dolan. of Benwood; Mrs. Barbara
Fisher, of Cameron.
He was a member Of a number OF
lodges, all of which will probably at
tend his funeral in bodies. He was
a member Of the La Belle COnclaye No
21s Mogulans; Fort Henry Council No.
