Democratic Honesty ~.
[Clark sburg TeIegraml.

/
A Democratic paper asserts that in
Taylor and Lewis counties where
the recounts showed the election OF
Democrats to the Legislature, the re.
count officials were all Republicans.
This falsehood has been repeated in a
number of papers that ought to have
known better. But the average Dem
ocratic newspaper is not particular
about the truth of its assertions so
long as it can find theme that suits
its purpose. In Taylor county the
court was composed Of one Democrat
and one Republican and the certificate
of election that was issued was sign
ed by the Democrat only. 1t is evil
dent that the ballots were tempered
with and the courts will investigate
the matter. IN Lewis county, Dun.
ningtou, the Republican member elect
was counted out by the Webster
county court which is solidly Demo
cratic. The Democrats hitched Lewis
county to Webster, thus forming a
delegate district, for no other purpose
than that of preventing the populous
and progressive county of Lewis from
selecting her own representatives.

MRS. PIERCE'S NEW ROLE
THIS TINE SHE ACCIDENTALLY
SHOOTS A CALLER ON HER SISTER.
The Young Woman Who Recently
Told of Sensational Experi-
ence with Burglars.

The home of Jesse Pierce, whose sixteen
year-old wife was found tied in a chair last
Tuesday morning, and who related a
strange story of her experience with two
strange men, was the scene of another ex-
citing time last night. About 1870 o'clock
Mrs. Pierce accidentally shot Robert Rib
BILE, of No. 500 Virginia avenue, who was
calling on her sister, Miss May Bucksot.
The shooting was done with a F'lobert rifle,
and Ribble was not dangerously wounded.
The bullet struck him on the left side of
the head, just above the temple.
Pierce and his wife live at No. 800 East
Washington street. Pierce keeps a bicycle
repair shop, and is employed a lamp
lighter by one of the gas companies. He
left home at 6 o'cloek yesterday evening and
returned two hours later to find his house
full of policemen and his wife almost pros
trated. Pierce kept a flobert gun in his
shop, and last night it happened to be load
ed. 1t stood against the wall conveniently
near the counter which runs across the
front of the room. Mrs. Pierce's sister had
an engagement with Robert Ribble, and the
young man arrived about 1880 o'clock with
a friend. Ribble is well acquainted with
Pierce and his wife. Mrs. Pierce and her
sister were in the bicycle shop when the
young men entered. The women stood
back of the counter, and Miss Bucksot was
engaged in ernbroidering a dolly. Ribble
was leaning on the counter, and the four
were discussing Mrs. Pierces queer expe-
rience of last Tuesday morning.
Somebody will come in here and carry
you off some day" jokingly remarked Rib
BILE.
oh no, they won't" laughed Mrs.
Pierce, as sheSreached for the fiobert gun.
You see, am protected AS the woman
picked up the rifle she snapped it, but the
bullet was not discharged.
Lets see how you would shoot a man, -
said Ribble in bantering way. Mrs Pierce
raised the gun and evidently pulled the
trigger again. The weapon was discharged
and Ribble threw his hand to his head.
Mrs. PIERCE screamed and ran from the
shop into the street. She started to a tele-
phone to call DOCTOR but found some one
through her shop into her sitting room and
fell Swooning across the bed. A dispensary
physician was summoned, but before he ar
rived Ribble had gone to the office of DR..
Hoover to have his wound dressed.
Mrs. Peirce was greatly distressed, and
both she and Ribble declared the shooting
was purely accidental. The police received
word that man had been shot on East
Washington street, and a detachment of
sergeant and patrolm9n was sent out to
investigate. The affair created great ex-
element in the neighborhood for while.
Ribble is employed by the firm of Lily &
Stalnaker. His injury is rot serious one.

GETTING OUT TRAINS.
Railroad Situation ImprOving-NO
Through j., Nj. & i. Traffic.

Railroad situation ImprOving--No
Through j., nj. & i. Traffic.
Twenty-four hours of hard work greatly
improved the situation with the railroads
yesterday. Trains Of the following lines
were able to run on scheduled time: Gin
cinnati Hamilton & Dayton, the Monon,
the Vandalia, the Indiana, Decatur & West
ern, the western division of the Peoria &
Eastern, the st. Louis division of the Big
Four, the Chicago division of the Big Four.
the Cleveland division, the Michigan divi-
sion and the Lake Erie & Western. On the
eastern division of the Peoria g. Eastern
trains were run as far east as Arcanum,
and it will be several days before they get
through to Springfield, the eastern terminal.
The Panhandle yesterday continued to
send it's through trains over the Big Four
to Crestline, then over the Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne & Chicago to Pittsburg. Trains
were run between Indianapolis and Rich
mond on the Panhandle and between In
dianapolis and Chicago, and 1t was expected
that this morning the Panhandle would be-
gin running it's trains from Indianapolis
to Pittsburg again over its own tracks.
The Louisville division of the PennSyl-
vania line was so badly cut up that it was
difficult to tell when through trains would
be running again. Trains were run, how
ever. between INDIANAPOLIS and Franklin
and between Seymour and Louisville. Yes
terday afternoon the wrecking train of the
Vandalia was sent south over the Louis
timber and blocks and a number of men,
together with locomotive headlights, so that
work could be pushed at night. The Indian
apolis & Vincennes people expect to get
trains through this evening. Yesterday no
trains were run. There was no trouble in
getting to Chicago, ST. Louis, Peoria or to
Louisville via the Vandalia and the Monon
and both Cincinnati lines were moving their
trains on scheduled time.

He Used Electricity to Get Rid of His Daughters Objectionable

The ingenious father of an estimable young lady on Walnut Hills recently rigged dupa clever contrivance, by means of which he discouraged certain young man who had been accustomed to make love to the daughter in the old gentleman's parlor. The amorous swain IS barber, known familiarly to the pa irons of his shop as Lew" The girls seem to like Lew very much, but the father of the heroine of this story doesn take kindly to Lew or any other young man who comes sparkling" his daughter. The old gentleman recently caught Lew and the girl sitting rather close together on the soft. He read the girl a lecture and made her promise not to let young man sit beside her on the soft again. He was a bit suspicious, and decided not 10 trust the girls prom ise, so he called in an electrician to carry out little scheme of his. A con- tact plate was fitted just under the cushion of the soft. and another to the bottom of the frame in such q way that when the weight of two persons bore uo"n upon the top plate it would touch 'he other and close the circuit. Wires were run from the two plates to the ula mans bedroom, where, as soon as necircuit was closed. a small bell would ring. All this was done without the .nlnowledge Al of the girl. The next night
 Lew called again, and everything was as II should be until the old folks re- iied about ten o'clock. About half an nouf later the bell upstairs rang fu- Iously.
