After a general discussion of the
matter it was decided that it was not
possible to take any active steps to-
wards raising funds for the affair I'M
til the beginning of the next week,
owing to the fact that all retail and
many wholesale business men are very
busy, owing to the holiday rush.
1t was decided to call another meet
ing of the committee for tonight at
half-past seven o'clock at the Mayors
apartments in the city building. At
this meeting the captains and officers
of all uniformed orders and secret So
cieties are urged to be present. 1t was
decided to have a demonstration on
the afternoon Of January list. A gen.
eral invitation is extended to all the
secret societies and uniformed bodies
of men to participate, every one of
which, if the invitation is accepted, is
requested to notify the secretary of the
committee by mail.
Mayor Sweeney's suggestion of hav-
ing a presentation of tablet to the
city at the capitol square after the
parade is over, will probably be adopt
ed. 1t is assured, however, that the
demonstration will be fitting one.

A BURGLARY EPIDEMIC.

Snecial to the Register
FAIRM0NT, w Va, December 20
A gang of thieves has evidently ar
rived here from some unknown source,
and after their arrival divided up in
sections and made their first raid on
the town early this morning. The
Monongahela House was entered and
$50 and a silver watch taken; John
Mattinglys residence was entered and
81 taken; William Wise's residence en-
tered and several pieces Of clothing
taken. Besides, the homes of W. S.
Meredith, William McCray and Sharp's
boarding house on Washington street
were entered, but the thieves were
frightened away before they had time
to secure anything. At the Sharp
boarding house a negro was seen COM
ing out of the house with a watch in
his hand by a railroad man. The
watch was dropped and the negro fled.
The thieving, it seems, all occurred at
about the same time

Judge Bond probationed Marion Ro-
gan, who had blinded for life DR..
Frank l.. Taylor, dentist, by throw
ing vitriol in his face out of revenge
for betrayal. The young girl had
earlier appeared before the judge and
told her pitiable story and showed the
white-haired justice her little babe of
which she claimed Taylor was the
father She said that Taylor, after he
had wrecked her life, had told her
that he was irresistible among women
by reason of his good looks.
In announcing his decision Judge
Bond said that from the evidence 1t
appeared that DR.. Taylor had sought
out Miss Rogan, knowing she was
a virtuous woman, who had in no way
wronged him, for the sole purpose OF
causing her ruin; and after he had ac-
complished it by fraud and deception
and the use of intoxicating liquors, II
not by drugs, he unfeelingly cast her
off without assistance and advised her
to resort to a life of prostitution and
even boosted of Is disgraceful con-
duct with this young woman and with
others whom he had ruined. Such a
man" the judge added, 'is SO vile that

his unfortunate condition.
Judge Bond said that he regretted
Miss Rogan did not leave the punish
ment Of her betrayer to a higher pow
er than herself. AS to the possibility
that similar acts Of personal vengeance
would follow the probating OF this
prisoner. the Judge said that such acts
were so rare-none other having come
before him in the forty years OF his
service on the bench. that he would
take the risk and order the release OF
the prisoner on probation.
