PIT AND PENDULUM.
A Prisoner WAITING to be
Hacked by Times
Scythe.
Thousands Whose Situations
Are Scarcely Less Terrible
May Easily and Readily Find
Help,

A man lies fiat on bis back, bound so that
he cannot move an inch. He is in dun
geon, at first dark as well, but in few min
utes light in the ceiling, far up, shows a
mechanical figure Of Time with his scythe.
The figure descends slowly, the scythe
swings, and the prisoner realizes that unless
some unexpected help should come, ne will
be slowly cut to pieces. What followed Is
told by Edgar Allen Poe in the fantastic
story called The Fis and the Pendulum. I"
The man awaiting the approach of a
dreadful death is type of large class of un-
fortunates who, entangled In the strangling
coils of an octopus, have lost all hope offree-
dom. This monster is Morphine. Perhaps
the victim is yet reveling in that glorious
state of exhilaration which follows the first
use of the drug. fso like the man IN Poe's
story, he has not noticed the light in the cell
ing and is unaware of his danger. Maybe
the disease has progressed so far that the
sufferer notices weakness of the hearts &C
ton, that the general health is feeble the
body poorly nourished, the sight double.
This is soon followed by peculiar witch
Ing of the muscles, a numbness of the hands
and feet, and the utter collapse Of the
nervous system. The victim now becomes

The Head of the House.

Mans glory has departed, if a de-
cision of Virginia Judge is to become
the law of the land He is the whole
thing no more at home. His sceptre
has departed from him, and, instead
of being the big boss around the fire
side, carrying things with a lordly
and mighty hand, he is to take second
place, or whatever place may be as
signed him.
1t comes about in this way: Accord
ing to special dispatch from Rich
mond, Va, Judge Purnell, of the
United States Circuit Court of APP
peals, has put the women of Virginia
in position to defy the men by hold
ing in decision rendered that mar
ried woman living with or apart from
her husband is the head of the house.
Some time ago Mrs. Marion Richard
son, storekeeper, filed petition in
bankruptcy; at the same time she
claimed $4,000 under the homestead
exemption act. Judge Waddell de-
clined to grant her petition on the
ground that as she was married and
living with her husband, she was not
the head of the house. The case went
to the circuit court of appeals and
Judge Purnell decided that she was
the head of the house.

Murder Near Terra Alta.

Tuesday afternoon Wesley Beatty
shot and killed his brother-in-law,
David Nine. The cause of the trouble
between the two men arose from the
fact that Nine had sworn out a war
rant for the arrest of Beatty's son,
who was charged with stealing some
cider from Mines premises. This so
enraged Beatty that he secured a
shotgun and going over to the barn
of Nine who was engaged in husking
corn, he emptied load of shot into
his arm whereupon Nine ran out in
to field toward his house. Beatty
fired again but this shot having no
effect the third charge was fired
which struck Nine in the back. He
lived about 10 minutes. Beatty then
went to his house and filling his cart
ridge belt with shells and with his
gun on his shoulder he ran into the
woods. He is being hunted by offic-
ers but nothing so far has been seen
or heard of him.

Ara Rebecca Peddicord, wife of
Thomas j. Peddicord, Esq, of this
place, departed this life Nov. 20, after
an illness of several months duration,
aged 81 years, months and Is days.
Mrs. Peddicord was the daughter
of the late James H. Clagett, mem
Der of one of the old Maryland fami-
lies and a resident of Montgomery
county, where Mrs. Peddicord was
born.
In early life she united with the
Methodist church, accepting and
firmly believing in the doctrines
thereof and remained a consistent
member of said church up to the time
of her death.
On November Is, 1860, she was
married to Mr.. Thomas J. Peddicord,
from which union four children were
born, viz, Ella, wife of George o.
Miller, Esq; Maggie, wife of Fred
erick A. Thayer, ESQ.,; Mary r. and
James G. Peddlcord, all of whom, to-
gether with the husband, survive
her.
About the midnle of August, 1899,
Mrs. Peddicord was thrown from
carriage and sustained a fracture of
her shoulder and knee and internal
injuries, from which she never re-
covered. From the time of receiving
the above named injuries until her
death she was a great sufferer, but
through it all she never uttered a
word of complaint.
All who knew Mrs. Peddicord can
bear testimony to the fact that she
was of most loving, charitable and
affectionate disposition, sweet and
quiet in her manner, never allowing
herself to become provoked or out of
humor, but bearing all trials of life
patiently and without murmuring,
and was always faithful and affec-
tionate wife, devoted mother and
truly christian in whom there was
no guile.
Mrs. Peddicords funeral took place
this morning at 10 o'clock from her
late residence on Second street, which
was attended by large crowd of
sympathizing friends and was con-
