TROUGH HOUSE, oN THE IRAN
Sunday Afternoon but Conductor Ham
Rose met the Occasion.

Capt. Ham Rose had rough house
in both cars of the accommodation,
coming in from Grafton last night,
says the Petersburg Sentinel, and
gave several fellows lessons in how
not to beat the railroad company out
OF their fare. A big fellow who got
on the train at Clarksburg tried to
get off at Wilsonburg without having
paid his fare, but Capt. Rose met him
at the door Of the coach and demand
ed his fare.
He refused fatty at first but when
he found Capt. Rose was determined
he said he was going to Wolf Summit
and returned to his seat. He then
claimed he had lost his ticket and
after waiting for some time Capt.
Rose stopped the train to put him off.
His partner then came to his assis-
tance and it looked like there would
be a fight. Capt. Rose did go so far
as to slap one Of the men and pull his
ear. They finally dug up enough
money and paid their fare.
Another fellow got on at Wolf
Summit and snatched check from
the hat of a man who was getting of
there. Putting it in his own hat he
went into the smoker and the con-
ductor did not notice him for a while.
When he did he demanded fare and
the fellow, who had in the meanwhile
torn the check in two, said he had
paid it once and refused to pay it
again. The check when put together
showed that it was for Wolf Summit
and the train had to be stopped for
him before he would pay up.

CHARLESTON is WISE CHOICE.

The selection of Charleston as the place for
the republican state convention is significant and
judiclous. 1t indicates that the party will avoid
any probable fractional and sectional discord and
proposes nurturing. perpetuating and augmenting
thegreat enthusiasmau aud harmony prevailing among
the many leaders who gathered at the Wheeling
meeting Wednesday, The sense of the state as q
whole is to be the consideration in the convention
aud not the desire any particular locality. Es-
peciay is local pressure and influence to be avoid
ed Charleston has not yet offered prospective
candidates, and is not likely to do The conven-
zion WILL therefore, be far from the seat of war
among the many competitors for state nominations,
and the host OF ''rooters" will be greatly reduced
in fact they will be so few that the delegates will
have room to breath, think for themselves and act
for the best interests of the party and state.

osTEopATHY ON TOP.
The Regular Physicians Knocked Out
in the first round.

The osteopaths are one ahead in
this state.
DIR. W. E. Ely, an osteopath, was in
dicted last September by the Wood
county grand jury, for practicing
medicine without a license. This
week he was tried at Parkersburg and
Wednesday afternoon the jury return
ed verdict ofnot guilty, after being
out 80 minutes.
The State Medical Society, who were
the prosecutors,claimed and undertook
to establish that he was violator of
law.
Or. Ely averred that he was not a
practitioner Of medicine and that no
law applicable to osteopathy exists in
this state. Hehad number of wit
nesseS who testified rs to the cures

THE CITY ORDINANCE.

The Council of the city have under advise.
ment an ordinance to be submitted to the voters at
the municipal election on April Sd next, proposing
to raise S5OO00oo to be expended in equal parts IN
LAYING sewerage system on and paving Main and
Pike Streets the bonds for the purpose to run
twenty.f five years payable at the option OF the city
after ten years, withnterest at per cent in semi
annual payments These improvements are in
line of the city's greatest present need.
The Telegram commends the wisdom shown
by the Council in Its proposed plan of sewerage
before or at the same time, as near as may be-
with street paving. The ordinance should be
adopted and approved by the voter, provided the
terms in all other respects sufficiently guard all
public interests and conform to the necessary legal
requirements. OF course it may not be what
everyone desires, but beginning must be had and
the time is opportune But whether all may be
suited or not, and that is scarcely possible, it is
nevertheless public duty to refuse opposition
based solely on private objections.
In order to meet such opposition and satisfy
such objection 1T is likewise wisely suggested and
to be provided in the proposed ordinance that S.,
600 90 is to be set apart annually to extend the sys
tenn to other streets. So that in the course of a
very few years the whole city will be conveniently
traversed by the system.
At this time of course the exact terms of the
ordinance cannot be discussed as it will not be in
that condition until next Tuesday night, at which
time there will be special session for its determi
nation. after which the Telegram may have some
thing further to say.

In the death Of william s. Sumner the city

In the death Of William s. Sumner the city
loses one Of its most reliable and aged citizens.
He was man of strict integrity in every respect
and had the confidence of everyone who knew or
had dealings with him and the enmity OF none.
He was loved by his family and intimate friends
to an unusual degree and respected by ALL For
one Of his advanced years his health was more than
ordinarily good until within forty eight hours OF
his death, which occurred SO quietly that the
family supposing he was asleep do not know the
exact time Of his demise.

Is was generally understood that Henry Wat
erson was always frank in his statements, both
public and private, but not to the extent exhibited
in his letter of June last to August Belmont when
he said. "The democratic ticket" then just nomi-
mated, will be elected. Under the operation of
the Goebel law the result is not left to chance !;
or in other words, as read between the lines not
left to vote of the people, but to the political
bosses. This statement is in line with that of a
certain railroad magnate when informed that the
o, ople might object TO some of his projects upon
witch he is said TO have replied: ''D-n the
