NJ. f. Helsley. tlse Bellaire newspaper

ceive support from the class of people who
believe all Congressman look alike when
they once get there" The effect of Bel

The well Known Insurance Man Eek oirs d
Early Yesterday Morning
Yesterday morning about half-past
six o'clock, Mrs. Roller, wife of f. A..
C. Roller, the well known insurance
man, made the startling and sad dis
covery that her husband had expired
some time during the early morning
hours, while sleeping in his bed at the
family residence in the rear of No.
2214 Market street. Mr. Roller, who
was in the sixty-eighth year of his age,
retired Sunday evening in about his
usual health. His wife arose before
him yesterday morning, and about the
hour named went to the bed room,
opened the shutters and called her hus-
ed him, only to discover that he was
dead. Aid was at once sent for, but
nothing could be done, and Coroner
Schultze was notified, and after a
proper enquiry and examination rem
dered a verdict that death was due to
natural causes in the shape of internal
hemorrhage.
Deceased, brother of Theodore Roll
er, was a native of Germany, but had
been resident of this city for many
years. He was prominently identified
with several of the German Singing
Societies, and at one time was director
of two of them, the Beethoven and
Harmonic. His sudden death was the
cause of numerous expressions of re-
greet yesterday, when the fact became
known.

Application for Franchise Turned Down by

MIR. J. S White. of Mt. Pleasant, o., APP
peared before the Commissioners Of Bel
mont county Ohio. yesterday for the pur-
pose Of ascertaining the precise conditions
under which the Commissioners would be
willing to grant franchise for the trolley
line from Cadiz to Martins Ferry, over
that portion of the projected route lying
in Belmont county. The Commissioners
were disposed TO favor the project, but
seemed inclined TO require certain pre-
requisites that may delay the construction
CT the road and probably change its east
ern terminus. or possibly cause the aban-
donment of the whole project.
