day morning, with Judge
Shaw on the bench and Soil
cltor Harshaw present to look
after the States interest in
appeals from the criminal

whole of this and next week.
The calendar contains several
cases against the Southern

others of Importance. The
suit of Manardie Deal against
the railroad for killing his
horse was tried this week and
Mr.. Deal was awarded SS5.
Miss Lou Bond and others
were given a verdict in their
suit against Maj. Wilson in
volving the title to a lot in
South Morganton. We will
endeavor to give fuller pro-
ceedlngS next week.
The bar and people seem
to be we'll pleased with Judge
Shaw and to look upon him as
a fair and able Judge.

The Town Election.
Editor News:

Editor News:
| notice In this weeks
Herald an article calling upon
the voters to make our town
election a party question.
This is unfair and unjust, as
our friends on the opposite
side have invariable shown a
disposition to ignore politics
IN the town elections, and
what reason can be given now
when, | understand, thereare
but two candidates for Mavor,
viz: Mr.. John Tull and Mr..
John Null, neither of whom
are, strictly speaking, party
men. The first named, Mr..
Tull, it is understood, bolted
his party nominee for Presi-
dent and it is said often voted
for Webb for Sheriff, the best
friend of the Republican
party; and the other candidate,
Mr.. Null, voted for Mr..
Bryan,-at least he said he
would on the stump, when
asked by his opponent who
was then running for the
Legislature.
| don't think politics ought
to have anything to do with
this question. A man should
and [ hope will vote as he
pleases, Independent of the
party lash, and vote for good
men. A VOTER.

For some time it has been known
that two corps of engineers have been
surveying east of Wellsburg in Brooke
county, and also across the Pennsyl-
vania State line. Their presence has
excited comment and no small amount
of speculation, and while the surveyors
have been non-committal, it has been
the general impression that their work
had some connection with one of the
various electric railway enterprises
which have been projected in Brooke
and Ohio counties.
A prominent railroad mar yesterday
gave a Register reporter a plausi-
BILE explanation of the presence of the
engineering corps. 1t is his belief that
the Wabash system is to be extended
into Pittsburg. The only way of en-
tering that city at present is over the
Saw Mill Run railway. This is a short
road having simply terminal facilities,
which has recently come into the own
ership of a single individual. 1t is said
that the owner of the terminal road
and a prominent official of the Wabash
have been in consultation twice within
the past few months.
The Wabash would probably use the
Wheeling & Lake Erie to a point OPP
posite Wellsburg, constructing a bridge
across the Ohio river at that point, and
building tracks to connect with the
Saw Mill Run road.
There are several things which give
probability to this important railroad
rumor. 1t has been understood that
the Wabash uses the Lake Shore depot
in Toledo under an agreement that
the former will not construct a certain
piece of track which would give the
Wabash the shortest route by six miles
into Chicago. The Wheeling & Lake
Erie, although using the union depot
in Cleveland, owns a more centrally
located depot in the city, which could
be used by the Wabash in the event
that that road was compelled to discon-
tinue the running of trains into the
Lake Shore depot.
In any event, the Wabash has taken
steps toward the construction of the
piece of track, said to be approximately
fifty miles in length, which it is said
to have been under agreement with the
Lake Shore not to build. The railroad
deal mentioned would be very important
to the Wheeling & Lake Erie, n a
decided advantage to Wheeling.

County Neighbour.
Workman in Trouble.

in Trouble.
Geo. Bowls, a smelter at the Enter
prise Enameling works, is now in Jail
with a serious charge against him. This
plant has for some time been missing
ware but could not locate the chief, and
as time wore on the amount OF ware
missing continued to grow, and a close
watch was ordered by the company,
but this failed to find the guilty party.
Tuesday night a special Waterman was
concealed in the department where
Bowles works, and yesterday morning
about four O'Clock when he quit work
the concealed Waterman saw him fill a
coffee sack with ware and depart for
home. The Waterman notified the sec
rotary, who had a warrant issued for
him, and Onicer Keyser went to his
home and arrested him, also a search
was made. of the house, and IN the cell
lar was found about a half wagon load
of ware, which was brought to the
Mayors Office. The a is valued at
about $45, and a number of the pieces
were marked by the company prior TO
the theft so that they would be able
to identify their ware, and these were
found in the lot, also several pieces
from the Novelty Enameling works.
1t is thought by some that several are
connected with this thieving, while
others say it is a family agar. Bowles
had little to say, only that he was
sorry. He is a married man and has
a wife and seven children. He will
have his hearing to-day before Mayor
Freese. Up to this time the man had
bore a fair reputation, and many that
knew him were much surprised 70

A New Year Tableau.

A New Years Eve-a coy room
Over one book two young heads
bending;
Curls fair as morning, locks as dark
AS night, tremendously blending.
In easy chair before the the fire,
Her knitting in her lap reposing,
Puss by her sibe, her charge forgot.
The dear old "grandma calmly
doing.
The page on which four eyes are bent,
His brown and frank hers blue and
tender),
Held up two hands that lightly touch,
Zone strong and firm,none small and
slender),
A blank, save i'll Onecorner, where
Clooms painted rose and morning
glory;
And yet the youth and maiden read,
In the dim light, an old, old story.
GLOW sweet 'twould be could we begin
The Happy New Year dear,
together!"
He reads: "I'd smooth life's paths
for you,
And shield yol from its stormy
weather.
Shrined in my heart since first we et,
No one can e'er be set above you.
l love you!" And, with crimsohed
cheek.
She reads the sentence DER 81 love
you"
The chimes ring cut-a year is dead
A year is born; and softly stirring,
Grandmother wakes and peers about;
The young folks read, the cat is
purring-
Allseems the same as twas before
She slept; but all tits eeming;
Warm lips have kissed, two souls
have meet,
Two hearts Of wedding bells are
dreaming.
