New Martinsville, w. Va, May 25.-
One of the most remarkable cases tried
at this term of court, terminated this
morning by the defendant entering a
plea of guilty. James G. Cage was in
dicted at the January term OF court for
arson, being charged with burning the
barn and dwelling of w. N. Clayton,
near Hundred, ON the 9th day of July
last. The trouble grew out of an as
sault claimed to have been made on
Cage by Clayton and W. Curry, a som
in-laW, about two years since, in which
Cage claimed TO have been shot in the
neck. Curry and Clayton were found
guilty and fined for the offense. Thel
Cage brought a civil action against
them, claiming damages, which was
compromised. Shortly after this Clay.
toms buildings were burned and Cage
was arrested, charged with arson. The
evidence was all circumstantial, except
a confession testified to by William
Daily. The jury was kept in their
room for nearly two days and falling
to agree, were discharged While the
jury was out, Cage, believing that his
case was ended and fully expecting an
acquittal, made remarks to other pris-
oners in Jail, which showed his guilt,
and being informed that the prosecut-
ing attorney had been informed of his
admissions, requested to be brought
into court this morning, when he con-
fessed and told the court all, but a
portion of his story is not believed.
He stated to the court that he was
guilty; that soon after the Clayton trial
he purchased revolver with the in
tent to kill Clayton; that after study
ing over the matter, his heart failed
hun, and that he traded the revolver
for COW; that his wife and Nj.
Bradley coaxed at him to burn the
buildings of Clayton; that he refused
to do so, but that on the night Of July
27th last, he and his wife went to Clay
toms farm. and that he threw down
hay, and his wife put a burning match
to it; that the burning barn fired
the dwelling and other buildings. He
stated that Bradley was too intimate
with his wife and that the plan was
laid to get rid of him.
If Cage demonstrated one thing more
than another. it was that he was not
worthy of belief.
The jury when it went out, stood II
for conviction and one for not guilty,
and no change was mare during it's de-
alterations. Clayton is a highly re-
spected citizen, but is reduced to a poor
man by reason of long litigations with
Cage and the burning of his buildings,
upon which there was no insurance
Clayton had moved to the town of Hun
dred shortly before the fire and no
one was living in his farm house at the
time it was fred. Clayton was a very
prosperous farmer before the trouble
and considered wealthy.
The case of the State against Mike
Moore, who is indicted for killing Ney
at Smithfield not long since, was con-
tinued, on motion of defendant.

I'VE greatly appreciate the courtesy

considering the American constitution
Its principles impress us profoundly
The plan of government offered the
Philippines seems. in theory, good
colonial system. But why should a ma
ton with your constitution seek to
make colony Of a distant people who
have been so long fighting against
Spain to secure the same rights your
constitution gives? You fought the
same battle in America when you
fought against England"
In the fighting at San Fernando yes

many wounded. The Americans had
2 men killed and II wounded.

800 at the beginning and compounded your
profits, your 500 would now be nearly

rejoinder:
.'The answer is, yes-ducks, tame, pud-

A little girl had Is cents with which she
bought sitting of duck eggs. She bor-
rowed brooding chicken hen from her
mother, and all the eggs were Matched out.
Her profits for the first six months were SS,
and she kept three hens and drake for
the next six. months operations. 1t is fair

for each six months; one year $l8; three
years, $is. Divide s4s by her 10 cents and
the quotient will be 326-that is, each of
her Is cents will produce 500 cents; on 81
or 100 cents the profit will be $1,000 cents,

Wisconsin people should feel a pride

A large finely printed and illustrated

SERIOUS CRIME.
WILLIAM ANDERSON is ACCUSED or
ASSAULTiNG MARIE SCHEELIE.
GIRL IS BUT TWELVE YEARS OLD
The Prisoner Admits Criminal Intimacy,
But Denies That He is Guilty as
Charged in Indictment Case Gre
ates Some Excitement.

William Anderson, young man EN-
ployed at the Northwestern Wire Mat
tress Company. was arrested late
Monday evening by Chief of Police
O'Hare and placed in jail on a charge
of assaulting Marie Schielie, a girl II
years of age who was living with her
mother at the Matteson house on Prai-
RE avenue. The case is of the most
repulsive nature and reveals strange
condition of affairs to be in existence
under the very eyes of the police of the
city.
Anderson was arraigned before JUS
tice j. G.. Slater this morning and the
case was continued for one week.
The story told by the complaining
witness, who is nothing more than a
school girl, makes the case the most
peculiar one that was ever brought to
the notice of the police force in this
city. According to the girls story, the
defendant seems to have been on very
intimate terms with the girls mother
and the crimo of which Anderson is
charged was committed on last Friday
evening while the mother of the girl
was down in the city shopping.
The parties in the case are not well
known in the city, but the actions of
Anderson and the mother of the girl
who is uE1e complaining Witness have
been the common talk of the neigh bor-
hood in which the Eaother and daughter
lived for some time. At last the case
was reported to the police and an in
vestigation brough5 out the, story of
the girl which resulted in Anderson
being arrested on she charge above
stated.
The SchIelie famay have lived in
this city for about two years, having
come here from Chicago. A few weeks
ago the husband and father in the
family left home and Eas not been seen
since. Mrs. Jennie Schielie, the
mother, after der husband left the city
accepted a positions at the North
western Wire Mattress Works where
she met the defendant in the case. IN
a. short time they becarae veIy intimate
and Anderson spent great deal of his
time at the woman's house. His rela-
tions with Mrs. Schie4ie are said to-
have been very questionable.
When Anderson went to the house
on last Friday evening he found the
woman gone and the assault on the
daughter followed.
