PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Aug. II
George Fetty. ST., who died recently
at Adonis. near Sistersville, was very
peculiar man, and an incident in his
life is just now revived. Twenty years
ago a cabinet maker owed the man an
account which he was slow in settling;
in fact, the man could not pay Fetty.
Fetty, seeing no other way to secure
the bill, had the cabinet maker con-
struct coffin for him, and during the
course of the construction of the coffin
he would call and get in the gruesome
object and test It's fitness. After sever
al weeks of tedious work in getting
the coffin to fit his odd customer, the
cabinet maker delivered it to Fetty's
home where it has remained in the
garnet of the house ever since, until
the time of the old mans death, when
it was brought down, the dust remov-
ed from the lid and the remains of the
purchaser placed in it for burial.
The coffin was an odd looking affair.

HoNGKoSG, Aug. 16.-The American
collier Zafro, from Manila, which ar
rived here Tuesday was anchored yes
terday in Junk bay. She left Manila
on the 18th. A typhoon was raging
yesterday and it was impossible to land
the mails with further details of the
battle at Manila.
It was learned, however, from an
American naval officer, that when Ad-
miral Dewey, ON Aug. 6, demanded the
surrender of Manila within As hours,
the Spanish commander replied that the
insurgents being outside the walls, he
had no safe place for the women and
children who were in the city, and
asked for "a hours delay. This Adj
miral Dewey granted.
At the expiration of the specified time,
Admiral Dewey and General Merritt
consulted and decided to postpone the
attack.
On Aug. IL the American squadron
formed in line off Manila. The Olym-
pia fired the first shot at the Malate
fort. The shots Of the Americans tell
short and some time was occupied in
finding the range. Then the Callao,
one of the gunboats captured by Ad-
miral Dewey from the Spaniards, got
under the fort and sent in hot fire.
Great destruction was done with the
rapid-fre guns. The fort failed TO re-
ply, but fired on the American troops
that were storming the Spanish
trenches. The large American ships
were ordered to cease firing after an
hours work, owing to the failure of the
fort to respond
The fighting In the trenches was most
fierce. Fifteen minutes after the Span
1ards were driven to the second line of
defenses they were forced to retreat to
the walled city, where, seeing the use
1essness OF resistance, they surrendered
and soon afterward a white flag was
hoisted over Manila.
The Belgian consul at Manila, M.
Andre, boarded the Olympia and re-
turned with an American lieutenant to
the Spanish military governor, who
agreed to surrender. General Merritt
proceeded to the palace at $50 o. clock
and there found the Spaniards formed
in line. The troops surrendered their
arms, bnt the officers were permitted
to retain their swords.
Ire American loss is reported to be
six or eight killed and 40 wounded. The
exact numbers are not obtainable. The
trenches are filled with badly wounded
Spaniards. Manila is now under mar
tial law with General Merritt as mill
tary governor.
The California Red Cross society rem
dered valuable aid to the sick and
wounded. Perfect order prevailed in
Manila on the evening of Aug. 10.

THE New Year opens auspiciously for
San Juan county. Every taxpayer
should be gratified to learn that the
county debt is no. only being rapidly
diminished, but that the county is now
virtually upon cash basis, in fact
as we'll as in theory. General fund
warrants to the amount of nearly S. 900
were redeemed during the year, or have
been called for payment and interest
stopped, and it is not expected that any
more general fund warrants will be is
sued. Hereafter, warrants for running
expenses, including salaries of county
officers, etc., will be issued upon what
is called the County Current Fund, I"
payable from the revenues of the cur
rent year. We learn from the auditor
that the total amount of warrants now
outstanding and constituting the float
ing debt Of the county does not exceed
5000, and it is altogether probable
that within eighteen months at the
outside calls will have been issued for
the payment Of every dollar of this
amount. There will then remain only
the bonded debt of $13 900, which under
favorable circumstances might easily be
discharged within one-fourth the time
designated for its payment.

APRoPos of the present agitation OF
the liquor question here, which has
been undertaken by several well-known
ladies, it may be of interest to the resi-
dents of Orcas island, and especially
those in the vicinity of East Sound, to
know that it is reported that lot and
building, for several years unused, were
recently purchased at East Sound with
a view to the establishment of a saloon
in the course of few months, if a Ii
cense can be obtained. THE ISLANDER
is also reliably advised that for several
months liquor has been sold from a
schooner which has its headquarters at
Olga and trades between that point and
Whatcom. And we are also informed,
through the receipt of all anonymous
communication, to which we would Or
dinarily pay no attention, because of
the writer's neglect to sign his lame,
that "there is an Indian saloon run
ming in full blast five miles south Of
Roche Harbor." The writer adds, as a
sort of postscript, that he wants to
t"stop this business" and expresses the
opinion, which does credit to his NOR
atty, that sit is disgrace to hmanity."
flour unknown informant is really as
earnest in the matter as he appears to
be we suggest that he furnish more
definite information, as to location par
ticularly, in order that the proper &C
,tiop may be taken by the authorities.
Apparently there is growing thirst in
other parts of the county tl.an Friday

And this is not dry time either.
