WORK EXEMPLIFIED
BY Black Prince Lodge at the Castle Last
Night.

BY Black Prince Lodge at the Castle Last
Night.
All the visiting knights who could
possibly do so, and particularly all the
representatives to the Grand Lodge,
accepted the invitation to witness the
comforting of the first, second and third
degrees last night, by Black Prince
Lodge. An entirely new set of para
phernalia, purchased at very heavy
expense, was used for the first time on
this occasion. There was a very large
attendance, and all were exceedingly
pleased with the manner in which the
work was performed, watching it's pro-
gress with the greatest interest
AT the conclusion of the services, the
members of Black PRICE served ban
quet to their guests. The chef for the
occasion was Capt. George Weisgerber,
and his reputation from the single ban
quet should be sufficient to secure him
an engagement at Delmonico's. The
menu was elaborate, and the banquet
was served in the most approved form
OF the culinary art. The two tables
reaching from one end of the hall to the
other, were filled with guests, and there
was considerable merriment while the
banquet was in progress. A number of
addresses were made. but ON account of
the lateness of the hour they were
brief.

EXHIBITION DRILLS
BY Visiting Companies. Witnessed by Big
Crowds Last Night.

BY Visiting Companies, Witnessed by Big
Crowds Last Night.
One of the most pleasing exhibitions
of the week was the Imp drill, on Mar
ket street last night, given by the crack
Parkersburg company, under command
of Capt. Baker. The word was given
out that the drill would extend from
Eleventh to Fourteenth streets, and a
judicious advertisement of this fact
served to prevent a repetition of the
congested condition Of Market street in
front of the Mcclure House. There was
also better behavior on the part of the
spectators, and no difficulty was ex-
perienced in keeping the crowd off the
street. There was a deep fringe of hui
mainly along both curbs, extending
from Eleventh street to Sixteenth
Shortly before eight O'Clock Capt. w
NJ. Clemans marched up the street at
the head of twelve officers. They were
placed at various points with instruc-
tons to keep the street clear. At eight
O'Clock the Parkersburg company
marched up Market street headed by
Meister's band, and escorted by the
First Battalion of the First Regiment
Each member of the company carried
Roman candle and the pyrotechnical
display by the twenty marching men
made a magnificent spectacle, which
was heartily applauded by the crowd
1t was the first Imp drill ever wit
messed in this city. The members of
the company were all attired in red
costumes and hoods, and facial make
up which completed the resemblance to
the conventional type of Mephisto-
pheles. 1t was very unique and at
tractive costume, and the shooting can
dies and brilliant electrical illumina-
tions along the street completed a spec
tacular effect which has never been
eQualled on the streets of Wheeling.
The drill was executed according to
promise and ali were given the oppor-
tunity to witness it. There was no at
tempt at difficult evolUtions. At sew
eral points where the company halted
sticks of red fire were lighted and
giant crackers were exploded, making
an unearthly din. Not less than a
hundred dollars worth Of fireworks

splendid success.
1t was expected that the Ravenswood
company would give the famous fam
beau drill after the Imp drill, but for
some reason it did not take place.
Later the local committee entertained
the members of the Parkersburg and
Ravenswood companies with a banquet
at the Hotel Windsor.

There was not so much public inter-
est in the events on the K. of P. pro-
gramme yesterday as on the preceding
dav. but the exercises were of more
Importance to the knights. All of the
visiting lodges spent the night in the
city and left for their respective homes
yesterday morning, except several
State companies of the Uniform Rank.
The Uhrichsville company had entered
in the open prize drill competition, but
surprised the local committees by de-
parting for home at ten o'clock in the
morning.
The drills took place in the afternoon
at the Island ball park, and attracted
all the local and visiting knights, as
well as many others. There was fair
sprinkling of ladies in the audience.
When the drills were concluded, Major
General Carnahan delivered short adj
dress to the competing companies, in
which he complimented them and gave
valuable advice directed principally to
their showing under the inspection
which precedes drill. His remarks
we're listened to very attentively.
The drills were a disappointment,
ewing to the fact that the number of
competing companies was not as large
as lad been anticipated. Why this was
SO, in view of the fact that the cash
prizes hung up were very attractive,
cannot be understood. 1t was found
necessary to make a special arrange
ment for distribution Of prize money.
The Parkersburg company, under Capt.
Baker, first gave an exhibition drill,
showing remarkable proficiency in mil
itary tactics and delighting the specta-
tors with their skillful evolutions.
The contest for the Grand Lodge
prize Of $3.50, in which competition was
limited to companies of the Uniform
Rank in this State, was participated in
by the Ravenswood and Sistersville
companies, and resulted in a rather easy
victory for the former. The judges
were Lieut. Miller, of the United States
infantry, Capt w. H. Travis and Dr.
H. 3. Baguley.

Officer Bickerton. The latter on find
ing the report to be true informed
Coroner Schultze of the discovery and
the remains were taken to the under

In the afternoon the coroner held an
inquest in the case and a post mortem
examination was conducted by DR..
Best. 1t was found that the child was
still born and a verdict was rendered
accordingly. This is one of a number
of cases of the kind that has come to
light in this city during the past year.

Law Court Decision.

The following decision has been received
from the law court:
Hancock county.-In The action of Eben
A. Salisbury in equity VS.. Virginia d.
Austin ct ais, the plaintiffs appeal has
been dismissed and Judgment for the de-
tense ttrmed.
Hancock county.-John {. Gordon VS..
in ha bitants OF Ellsworth. Exceptions
overruled for want OF prosecution.
This was the action for damage for
spilled milk, due to alleged defect in
highway. The case was tried last April.
Plaintiff claimed that one James Carter,
setting with authority from the city as
road surveyor, had notice OF the defect at
least twentytour hours prior to the acct
dent. On motion OF counsel for defense,
the plainti. WAS nou-suited on the
ground that he had failed to show that
MIR. Carter WAS a duly authorized agent
for the city, and further that the notice
given him WAS not specific as to the
defect in question.

The managers of the Washington
County railroad have sent out letter
to the farmers of Washington county,
calling attention to the marvellous ag-
ricultural development of Aroostook
county, and asking four very per-
tinent questions: !. Are not the
conditions OF Washington county IA
vorable 70 more extensive agricultu-
raj development" >. Cannot large
crops OF potatoes as good as or better
than those OF other regions be raised
in your own neighborhood "
8. Would not the expectation of
potatoes as food bring you good re-
turns T. Would not the estab-
Eshment Of starch factories be profit
able?" 1t is the desire of the Wash
ington County railroad to further the
industrial prosperity of Washington
county, for in that direction lies its
own prosperity. The farmers may be
sure of the cooperation of the rail-
road. They would do well to read
carefully and consider the suggestion
contained in the circular.

OBITUARY.
MRS. ]. p. sIMoSToN.

Harriet Judson Simonton, wife OF Rev.
J. P. Simonton, pastor OF the Methodist
Episcopal church, of Ellsworth, passed to
her reward Thursday, Aug. 10, In the
fifty-tirst year of her age.
Seldom has death claimed one who
seemed to have more to live for, or
greater sphere OF usefulness; and never
one who wss better prepared to go. For
the past two months Mrs. Simonton was
sufferer, but she endured the pain with
Christian fortitude and characteristic
cheerfulness.
Her life was spent in blessing others.
and to the last she was thoughtful and
sympathetic. Only few hours before
she died she sent message of love and
sympathy to q friend who was bereaved
in the catastrophe at Nit. Desert Ferry,
and in her last conscious hours she tried
to comfort her sorrowing family,
Mrs. Simonton was the daughter of J.
p. Baker, OF Boot hbsy, in which place
she lived till her marriage. In 1871 she
was married to MIR. Simonton, and all her
married life was passed in the itinersnt
ministry, doing the duties of a ministers
wife with a grace peculiarly her own.
She was active in every good work;
leader who waited not for opportunities
but made her way in spite of obstacles,
yet quiet, gentle, and unobtrusive in
manner.
Her work among the young was specially
successful. She was leader OF the Junior
Epworth league in the Ellsworth church,
and a teacher in the Sunday school, and
in those positions had the enthusiastic
and loving support OF every memo OF
league and class.
Mrs. Simonton came TO Ellsworth in
April 1895, and has made many sincere
friends. To her family and the church
she loved the loss seems irreparable, yet
they realize that, to her, death was
triumph of faith.
Funeral services were held at the
parsonage Friday forenoon, Presiding
Elder Day officiating. The remains were
taken to Rockport for interment.
