thought, would depend upon tho

THE NOTORIOUS Colts
TRIAL in Wheeling Ended in a
Verdict of Guilty.
The Trial WAS Held In Moundsville um-
der a Change or Yenue-From Two
TO Ten Years in the Penitentlary is
the Punishment for the Crime.
Wheeling IntelIigencer.

JIM Colts, who has been in the
public eye in this community probably
more than any other citizen in private
the city authorities and his connection
with the tax cases two years ago,
stands this morning face to face with
term of imprisonment in the state
penitentiary that may be two years OF
ten years, or an intermediate period,
and it is the mere statement OF fact
TO say that the great majority of
Wheeling people are not shedding
tears over Mr.. Colts misfortune.
The trial of Mr.. Colts on the charge
of forging the name of the late John
G. Haberfield, on note for 5000,
came to a conclusion in the circuit
court at Moundsville Thursday morn
ing at 1880 o'clock, when the jury
brought in a verdict of guilty as
charged in the indictment; latter hav-
ing been out since 9:15 o'clock. The
announcement Of the verdict was re-
ceived by the defendant without emo
ton, but his daughters who have been
at the side OF their father throughout
the trial, were yisibly affected.
After the jury had been discharged,
Messrs. Arnett and Dryden, counsel
for Colts, moved for new trial. and
the motion is to be argued later. The
states representatives, Messrs. Meyer
and Boyce, fail to see any develop
ment during the trial on which the
motion now made by the defense can
be supported. The punishment for
the crime of which Colts is found
guilty is two to ten years imprison-
ment in the penitentiary.

RIG RECOVERED.
W. IL. Gilmore Finds His Horse and
Buggy in UniOntOwn.

Mr.. w. H. Gilmore recovered the
stolen horse and buggy in Uniontown
gust week after the stranger who
hired it took It away. On June Goth
an old man accompanied by small
boy called at the stable and asked the
colored boy for a horse and buggy to
drive to ArnettsvilIe saying he would
return in the evening. The boy gave
him good rig not suspecting that
anything was wrong. Not hearing
anything Of it for two or three days
Mr.. Gilmore concluded the outfit had
been stolen and at once took very ac-
tive steps to recover it. Telephone
messages were sent in all directions
and finally the missing property was
found in Uniontown. The old man it
seems had been drinking heavily and
had tied the horse to fenc "a mile
from Uniontown and abandoned it..
A Mr.. Keener found the horse and
left him at one of the stables in IN
iontown where Mr.. Gilmore got him.
The man is known and will be made
to pay dear for his fun.

nected to the nozzle and this was
lowered down the hole, and served eff
fectively in driving the smoke back.
Other streams were introduced, and
men were finally enabled to go down
to the foot of the stairs and rlay on
the fire.
There seemed to be nothing that
could compete with the race of the
fire, and after over half hours futile
battling the situation was recognized
to be growing more serious. At $3.50
O'Clock a second alarm was sent in
from Box 81.
The loss to the Evans Company is
about $780, 900. Water caused the
greatest destruction on the fourth
floor, where @. McClintocS & Co. had
stored eight tons of carpets of the
finest weaves.
The basement Of the Evans store is
used as packing and shipping depart
ment Great heaps Of excelsior and
straw were strewn about, and when
the firemen arrived they recognized at
a glance their task would be a hard
one. The combustible materials had
become ignited in a flash, and when
discovered the entire center of the cell
lar was mass of flames. Two streams
were poured into the basement, but
the smoke was SO dense the firemen
were unable to locate the flames.
1t is believed that the fire was
started by spark from steam roller
that is being used in Fifth avenue to
repair the asphalt paving. The
theory is that the spark found its way
to the basement through the iron
grating and dropped into bundle Of
excelsior and straw used by the Evans
firm in packing glass and chinaware.
Just when the fire seemed to be I'M
der control, about $50 O'Clock the
thousands of spectators heard crash
which was ominous of disaster. The
third floor of the Evans building had
given way, carrying with it's burning
timbers five members OF fire company
No. 4 and five members of No. II
company. As the men plunged to
what seemed sudden death their COM
rades were pushed back by the smoke,
and for few moments the extent of
the calamity was not known.
THE INSURANCE
T. G. Evans & Co.'s insurance of
$50, 900 was placed by Alexander &
Son. About half of it is with local
companies. The balance of it is plac-
ed as follows: With Aschen s. Munich
$4,000; the Netherlands, $4,000:
Scottish Union and National, 50, 500:

SAD RETURN OF ENGINES.
At No. engine house, Fifth ave.
nue., near Miltenberger street and No1
IL engine house South Ninth and
Bingham streets, sad scenes were wit
messed. The report of the disaster at
the Il. G. Evans fire had spread to
these quarters and hundreds of men
and women who knew the dead and
! injured f1remen gathered about the
engine houses. When the engines re-
turned many people wept.
Only four men of No. company
returned, and only three of No. IL
company, where 10 had gone out.
The others were killed or injured.
The firemen themselves were much
affected as the dead men were well
known and universally popular.

A RoUsIG MEETING
To Ratify the Nomination OF Bryan &
Steyenson-Coi. Nat Ward Fitzgerald
the speaker.


The periunctory nomination of
Mckinley, at Philadelphia has not
struck responsive chord in Nor
gantown If we may Judge by the
apathy shown by Republicans since
their nominations, for no public
demonstration whatever has been
made; and TO Judge by appearances,
one would scarcely think that the
Republicans know that their candi-
date has been named. Not so with
the Democrats of Morgantown, for
on the day after the news of Bryan
and Stevenson's nomination a rous-
ing spirited public meeting, is held
on the public square. and speech
made that will be remembered, by all
who heard it. Many Republicans
were present to listen to the soul
stirring patriotic appeals made by
Col. Fitz Gerald, in the interest of
all lovers of their country.
The hearts of patriots were
aroused by his patriotic appeals, and
it Is known fact, that Mckinley
votes were lost and Bryan votes
won as result of that speech. He
eulogized Bryan, as the second JEFF
ferson, man of principle, and a
man of the people, man whom God
has raised up, to lead the people and
to save the republic of our fathers.
He showed that Stevenson was
the strongest man that could have
possibly been named Tor the second
place, and that the Republicans
were estopped from saying aught OF
him, as he held certificate of char
acter, ability and craftsmanship,
from VIM Mckinley, who appointed
him as the ablest Democrat he could
name, on the inter National nj oneta-
ry Commission.
The Colonel protrayed the horrors
aud the injustic of war of con-
quest against the PHILIPPINES, and
showed by quotation from McKin
ley's message in December 80 where
ia Mckinley said that, "Forcible an
nexation was not to be thought OF
fora moment, and would be criminal
aggression. He pronounced the
war against the PHILIPPINES, as the
greatest National crime OF the cen
fury just closing. and declared that
nations, as individuals, by the law
of Christ, would reap, same as they
SOW.
1t is impossible in the space, we
can give it, to make synopsis, of
the speech-but it was vote maker
lit was an appeal to patriotism and
love of 5country, home, Preside and
humanity. It's effects will be felt
until the polls close next November,
and we wish it we're possible for Col.
Fitz Gerald to be heard by every vo-
ter in the State. He has travelled
and spoken in several states, and he
declares that the success OF the
Democratic ticket, both State and
National is already an assured fact.
