Mrs. Patrick Craig entertained very
grave doubts as to the body of a float
er pulled out of the Ohio river, and
her missing husband being one and the
same. Her mind was relieved last
Sunday morning, however, when he
walked into the house; and although
he gave no account of his long absence,
he furnished ocular evidence that he
was still in the land OF the living.
On Sunday. 18th inst, a West
Wheeling man named Gurley pulled a
floater gu of the river at La Belle
landing and the body was turned over
to County Coroner Schultz. After
keeping the body twenty-four hours for
identification, it was buried. A pocket
knife, the only article found on the
deceased, was stolen from the Office of
the coroner. and the only thing he re-
tanned which might lead TO the identifi-
cation of the remains, was a portion
of the vest.
Mr.. and Mrs, Craig lived in Benwood,
until recently, when they removed to
the South Side. A day or two after
the foater was buried, Mrs. Craig and
another lady called upon the coroner.
n Mrs. Craig expressed her suspic-
ions, Squire Schultz described the
pocket-knife, which she said vas sim
liar to n carried by her husband. He
produced the vest, and she identified it
as having been worn by Mr.. Craig. She
said, however, that he had on a pair of
blue cotton jeans, which did not tally
with the trousers worn by the fioater.
Mr.. Craig carried insurance amount
ing to $500 with a fraternal society,
which was an additional reason for
Mrs. Craig to identify the remains. She
thought he might have secured the 9TH
er pair of trousers after his disappear
ance from home, some four or five
weeks ago.
Her fears were not allayed. The fol-
lowing day she inquired if she could
have the remains disinterred, express
ing the opinion that she could identity
her husband if she could see his hands
and feet. The coroner directed her TO
the proper authorities, and before an
other step was taken, the missing hus-
band filled the Craig household with
happiness by walking into his home
Sunday morning, as stated above,

Markmanship.

Perfect pose, strong nerve and an un-
ering eye, are essential to good mark
nanship, and the unchallenged success
of Miss Annie Oakley and Mr.. Johnnie
Baker, of Buffalo Bills Wild West Is
evidence that they possess all these
qualifications in an extraordinary de-
gree. Shooting at rapidly disappearing
targets from the most difficult positions,
and apparently at every disadvantage,
their accuracy of aim partakes Of the
marvellous. In order to fully realize
their wonderful work with the rifle, it
is absolutely necessary to witness their
exhibition, as description would fall far
short of the reality. The show will ex-
hibit in Wheeling next Monday.

For the New Theatre-Scheme for
Additional Contributions Has Not
Been Successful.
1t is understood that no strenuous
effort has been made to raise the $14,-
900 additional stock for the Board of
Trade Building Company, to make it
possible to erect the structure in accord
ance with the original plans.
While stockholders are not disposed
to discuss the matter for publication, it
is believed that the idea Of additional
stock subscriptions has been virtually
abandoned. Mr.. E. B. Franzheim, the
architect of the building, is at work
upon a modification of the plans, which
will be completed within a few days,
and will materially reduce the cost OF
the structure.

Pittsburg Sharpers Succeed in De-
fraudfns a Music House.
A few weeks ago slick Pi~ttsburgers
stole a piano from a we'll known music
firm, doing business on Market street.
The plans were well laid. A house in
the North End was rented, and a lady
purchased a valuable piano upon pay
ments. 1t was delivered TO her house.
Within twenty-four hours IL was boxed
up and shipped to Pittsburg. In that
city a delivery wagon called for the
instrument. and it was taken away.
The North End parties disappeared
as a matter of course. The authorities
traced the piano as far as indicated
above. when they were compelled to
abandon the search for the instru-
ment.

In the Circuit Court, Judge H. C. Her

hearing the evidence in the suit of NJ.
L. Davis against the Elm Grove Coal
Company for $4,000 damages, for injur-
les sustained by being struck on the

The suit of James Lightfoot against
the B. & o. Railway Company was
postponed until the next term of court.
Lightfoot is a colored porter, who was
arrested for hawking tickets, and ac-
quilted of the charge, and subsequently,
brought the action for damages for false
arrest.
The case of Moore & Co. VS.. Chas.
PAUL was set for to-day.
The City Council muddle will be up
in court again Friday. The question
at issue touches upon the facts relative
to what happened after the arrest of
Republican Councilmen in Fort Ham
ilton," and after their being brought
into the Council chambers. There will
probably be a jury summoned to hear
the evidence, and determine the points
in dispute. The clerk of the court was
yesterday preparing %subpoenas, and it
is likely that a large number Of wit
nesses will be examined.
Criminal Court.
In the Criminal Court, Judge Hugus,
the docket for the term will be called
this morning. The persons indicted by
the grand jury will be arraigned for
pleas, and it is likely that pleas of
guilty will be entered in many cases
of misdemeanor. Other cases will be
set.
Yesterday Maud Smith, who entered
a plea of guilty to the charge of con-
Quoting a house of i'll fame, was brought
into court, and fined 500 and costs up
on each indictment.
The case of State VS.. John Anderson
was set for June 3rd. Anderson is I'M
der indictment for the embezzlement
of funds of the town Of Elm Grove.
When arraigned in court, he acted in
such a manner as to lead to the sus-
picion that he is insane, and the testi-

on his sanity, has already been heard
The court will inquire into the ques-
ton on June 3rd.
