Last November the land of A. S.
Lippit, situated mile north Of Berry
vile, was Put up at public sale by
Blackburn Smith, sub. trustee, to sat
isfy lien resting thereon, and G. C..
Ricamore became the purchaser. At
the time of the sale so acres Of said
land had been seeded TO wheat and rye,
the work having been done by tenants,
Messrs. Grubbs and Mcdaniel, who
had leased it from said Lippit, Last
week, when the said tenants undertook
to cut the crop, they were met with
an injunction from the Judge Of the
court, issued at the complaint OF Rica-
more, restraining them from interior
ing with the crop growing on said
land. Ricamore claims that he bought
the land last November and all that
was growing thereon because the sale
reserved no rights TO any one. He
will cut the wheat and rye crops, and
the court will hereafter determine
what rights, if any, the said tenants
bad in these crops. We do not know
that tee question is a new one, but it
will perhaps lead to Lively discussion.

Fairmont physician, died at his home
in that place Tuesday, aged A years.
Joseph Hodgeons, Burning Springs,

ing face downward in a small puddle

A very novel and sensational suit
for damages has been instituted IN the
circuit court of Tyler county. c. NJ.
Matheny, Of St. Mary's, was a candi-
date for the postofice at Sistersville
against Postmaster Work and others
Matheny claims that he withdrew
from the contest and threw all of his
influence to Work, for which Mr..
Work was to pay him the sum Of
$1,000. Work denies this, hence the
lawsuit.
DR.. c. P. Taylor, the missing Mar
tinsburg physician, is now with his
brother-in-law, J. ". Swisher, at
Ridgeville, Hampshire county. Mr..
Swisher heard of DR.. Taylor at Mari
eta, Ohio, and, going there, found him
in the act of boarding a train for Gin
cinnati. DR.. Taylor was taken before
a committee OF physicians, who said
his mind was in such condition as to
render him unsafe to be at large. His
wife is with her parents near Ridge
Vile.

IT is very probable that when the
United States attempts to seize Manila
and undertakes to manage the govern
ment that serious complications with
other governments will arise. Ger
many already has seven warships at
Manila, and the other powers have
shown that they will take a hand in
affairs when the crisis comes. This il.
not an encouraging outlook, for our
government is scarcely able TO cope
with the diplomacy Of the great Euro
pean powers, especially if they are IN
clined to be ugly while We have our
hands full and ouI attention occupied
by the present war; We believe the
President to be an honest man, but
his ability is not so great as to inspire
full confidence, while his cabinet con-
tains nothing above mediocrity. The
situation is increasing in gravity, and
the highest order of craftsmanship and
the utmost frmness and good sense
will be required in the settlement Of
the many questions that will soon turn

Notes of the War.

The President issued a proclama-
ton extending the blockade of Cuba
to the entire southern coast of the
island. The port ofSan Juan, in Por-
to Rico, will also be blockaded. The
additional vessels required to main
tain the blockade will be drawn from
Commodore Howell's patrol feet.
A great many volunteer soldiers are
heartily sorry that they enlisted for
this war, and despite the possibility
that they might be shot a number of
them have deserted. Private Arthur
Elson, of the Seventh Illinois Regi-
ment, tried to commit suicide by cut
ting his throat at Camp Alger, near
Washington, on Tuesday.
Twenty-Five chaplains are allowed
by law to the navy and these chap
laincies are now all filled. There are
ten Methodists, FIVE Episcopalians,
three Christians, three Catholics, two
Baptists, one Presbyterian and Uni
tartan. The position of chaplain on
board of warship is about as dam
gerous as any other position.
The Navy Department announces
that the auxiliary cruiser St. Paul,
commanded by Captain Charles D.
Sigsbee, was attacked off San Juan,
Porto Rico, by the Spanish torpedo
boat destroyer Terror and an unPro-
tected cruiser. The st. Paul hit the
Terror three times, and she was towed
back into the harbor, sinking. Sew
eral men on the Terror are said 10
have been killed or wounded.
The third feet of vessels loaded
with soldiers and supplies for the Phil
ippines hoisted anchor at San Fran
cisco Monday afternoon, and amid the
screeching of hundred whistles, the
changing of bells and the booming Of
cannon proceeded down the bay to-
ward the ocean and by night were
well on their way to the Philippines.
The ships carried about 1000 men,
under command Of General Arthur
Macarthur, and they will enforce our
army at Manila.
A special cablegram from Manila
says the situation in the Philippines is
about to become complicated. The
insurgents, influenced by foreign con-
suls or inflated by their sudden success
in arms, have changed their tone and
now demand complete independence.
Aguinaldo has issued a circular, say
ing 1T is probable that l will invite
the European powers to recognize and
guarantee the complete independence
Of the Philippines" Captain-General
Augusti has cabled to Madrid that his
position at Manila is no longer tena-
bic. The insurgents, he says, have
10000 soldiers. They have COM
pletely isolated Manila and the prov
inces are surrendering to them.
