Women Quarrel,

The office of Justice Byers was almost
a perfect bedlam Monday afterLOe n
when quarrel between two women was
brought into the magistrates court for set
Element. The exciting trial and the pre-
ceedings leading up to peaceful settle
ment furnished much amusement for a
room full Of people.
The case was that Of Mrs. Bridget
Sheets VS.. Miss Johanna Finucan, the
former charging the latter with assault.
The complainant and defendant live on
the opposite side Of the street from one
another on the extreme south end OF
Spring street. Last week they became
involved in a neighbor's quarrel, which, it
seems resulted in blows.
The inamlcable neighbors carried their
difficulties into the magistrates courts
for settlement. Mrs. Sheets had war
rant sworn out on the charge OF assault
at Justice Byers office and Miss Finucan
had peace warrant sworn out at JustiC e
Martins office. Thus the trouble was
carried into court.
Before Justice Byers both women had
plenty to say, both to the Justice and to
each other. They made threats at each
other and one charged the other with
swearing to an untruth. The lie was pas
sed several times. Indeed the situation
at one time became so iudicrous that the
whole audience was in an uproar; but the
word battle continued.
Mrs. Sheets charged Miss Finucan with
striking her terrible blow in the breast,
but Miss Finucan testified that she only
ran up against her.
The Justice concluded the scene by an
nouncing that he would fine the defen-
dant ST. and costs, amounting TO $3.50,
which was paid.
The crowd then adjourned to Justice
Martins office. There the complainant
and defendant were vice versa. Mrs.
Sheets pleaded guilty of threatening the
complainant and was bound over to keep
the peace for one year upon bond of
500, with her husband, Jacob Sheets as
surety.

Bicycle Accident.

While riding on Maple avenue this
morning Mr.. Walter Trout was thrown
from his wheel by running into horse
and received painful injuries. He was
almost blinded by the snow and did not
see the saddle horse of Mr.. Small, which
was hitched in font of Mr.. G. w. Van
Metres house. He ran in between the
horses rear legs and both himself and the
wheel were holsted to the middle of the
street by the horses hoofs. A cash was
cut in the back Of the riders right hand
by the hoof of the horse and he was Sc
verely injured by the sudden contact
with the hoofs and with the street. The
wheel was badly damaged. DR.. Snod-
grass dressed the wounds on his hand, it
is not thought that they will amount to,
much.

Held for Court.

Francis Dixon, the young woman
charged with stealing seventeen pieces of
meat and three sausage maws from Allen
Gwilt, who moved here last week from
Frederick county, Md, was given pre-
lminary hearing before Justice Byers
Tuesday afternoon.
here were many witnesses, both for
the state and the defense, and the case
occupied the whole afternoon. Messrs.
Pltzer and Lindsay represented the State
and Messrs. Wisner and Downey were
counsel for the defense.
The evidence pointed to the womans
guilt, though she strenuously denied it,
saving the meat found by the officers was
her own meat, she having killed two hogs
in the fall and had purchased the rest
from a man named Joy in Shepherdstown.
Mrs. Dixon is no novice in the criminal
line. She has been in jail before on
charges of larceny. The Justice held her
in $500 Lail for court. She was remand
ed to Jail in default, but she expects to
get out on bail in a short time. There
was nothing to show that her husband
was guilty and he was released.

We understand that Hon. VIM. +.
Glasscock, of Morganlown, is candidate
for district delegate from the western end
of this district, to the Republican Nation
al Convention. We can and will cheer
fully throw up our hat for him, and hope
he may win. He would make an able
representative in the convention. And,
by the way, speaking of Monongalia
county Republicans, we also learn that
our esteemed friend, Charles A. Good
win, Esq, is full-hedged candidate for
Prosecuting Attorney. No letter man
could be found for the place. He has
been lifelong Republican, is able, elo-
quent and conservative, and would make
handsome run. We sincerely hope he
may be nominated. He deserves to be
nominated.

The wind is blowing, and events are
occurring that bode no good to Democ-
racy. in this State. Last week, Farmont
and Grafton went Republican. Shortly
before that. Charleston did likewise. Da-
Wis also elected Republican Council and
Mayor. The people are alive to the fact
that good times are here, and will stay,
so long as the Republican party is in
power. They mean to emphasize their
faith in the Republican party, by standing
by it. They are right, too.

This Eastern Panhandle never secures
any preferment in State and District con-
ventions, because Morgan, Berkeley and
jefferson seldom stand together. This
should not be. 1t is source OF extreme
weakness, and simply means that we fur
nish the ammunition and arms, and do
the shouting, whilst some other fellow
from over the mountains, rakes in the
honors and emoluments. This applies to
both of the prominent parties.

The Morgan Messenger, published at
Berkeley Springs, complains about the way
in which Morgan county Republicans re-
ceive the cold shoulder from the leaders Of
our party, in the distribution of offices and
appointments. Editor Buzzard has a
right to complain. Ever since it has been
a county. Morgan has stood nobly by the
Republican party, always rolling up a
large majority, and receiving in return, a
few minor appointments. She is COM
pelled to take the smallest loaf in the
bakery. This is not right, and appoint
ments might we'll be better apportioned.
We know of no Republicans in the State
more entitled to prompt and proper remu-
neration and recognition, than the sturdy
ones in Old Morgan.
