SkSSfdi " III TbcSfGtci. I'll
PARKERSBURG, W. Va, January
3.-Ihe fling late this afternoon OF
two law suits brought to light a SEN
sationaf occurrence, which happened
here last night. One suit was brought
by A. T. Smith, Of Friendly, against
Mrs. F. f. Ihrig, Of this city, known
as the IVES Virginia Oil Queen
because Of her valuable oil holdings
to set aside a receipt for 5000 given
ner by him and to recover the So, 000.
The ether was brought by smith
against Mrs. Ihrig and W. 6. Frank
lin, who owns one OF the largest
plumbing establishments here, for $40,
OC0 damages for false imprisonment.
Smith, who has been attorney for
Mrs. lhrig for many years, claims in
his Dill that he was induced by Mrs.
lhrig to call at her home, las3 night,
to effect a settlement of his bill, for
legal services. He claims that as soon
as he entered the house, she and
Franklin, who was with her, caused
him to enter a room, and then locked
him in, demanding a receipt in full
from him for all she owed him. He
refused to give it and Franklin, who
had in his hand something which look
ed like a p~oliceman's club, forced
Smith into a chair and he was induced
by threats to sign a receipt in full for
$4,000. Upon his doing so he was re-
leased.
In the suit to recover the money and
nullify the receipt, Smith gave $4,000
bond, and in the damage suit he gave
$4,000 bond. Attachments were Is
sued this evening and Mrs. Ihrig's re-
Gently erected home, one OF the hand
soonest in town, was taken charge OF
by the sheriff, together with Frank
Inns plumbing establishment.
The suits and Smiths story caused
a tremendous sensation here. Mrs.
Ihrig does not live with her husband.
She came here from Sistersville, and
owns property there, at New Mata-
moras, Parkersburg. several fine farms
along the Ohio Valley, and has some
valuable producing oil territory back
of Sistersyille. Her income from that
is several hundred dollars a day.
Smith is a lawyer and merchant, owns
a hotel at St. Marys, stores at Friend
ly and st. Marys, the mill at New
Matamoras, and is here to open a
wholesale hat store.

prominent share, ensuring the rights
OF property and the ancient laws and
customs OF the Burghers.
Lord Kitchener urged that it was
useless to continue the present inhu-
man struggle, pointing out that the
powers had refused Mr.. Kruger's re-
quests for Intervention. The Burgh-
ers, he said, had fought a good fight,
but they had been oyerpowered and
there was no dishonor in the leaders

then that there were hosts of Boer
prisoners waiting to be restored to
their families.
referring to his proclamations to
the country. Lord Kitchener said that
unfortunately these had not been al
lowed to reach the Burghers, and he
trusted that the committee would
make known the facts to the Beers, as
nc desired to give them every chance
to surrender and wished to finish the
wal by the most humane mean posi-
Bile. He promised to give the commit
tee notice IL compelled 10 abandon con-
~ciliatory for harsher measures. Going

who had broken oaths of neutrality
would be treated in the same way as
the others he told the committee that
would be accommodated with their
families in protected laagers along the
line of railroad. He asserted that it
was imperative 10 clear the country of
inhabitants and of food, because, so
long as food remained. the comman-
does would be able to continue in the
field. He could not be responsible for
stock unless it was brought in, adding
that he hoped at the end of the wal
to be able to divide the remaining
STOCK among the various sufferers.
No one, he promised, would be ser
out OF the country, but all who had
fought fairly including the leaders,
would receive the consideration due
their rank. He advised the formation
of local subcommittee to send out
agents to the Boer commanders, ex-
planning that they could communicate
through the central committee and the
military governor and could also come
to see him personally if necessary.
Lord Kitchener babe them tell their
friends what they had heard him say
and assured them that they could place
the most absolute reliance on his CIV
ing effect to it.
The committee, which included Gen.
Cronje's brother, cordially thanked
Lord Kitchener and promised to print
the speech in Dutch and to circulate
it everywhere.
Since the meeting orders have been
issued against burning farm houses
unless it should be proved that the
actual inhabitants had committed mis-
deeds.
The first districts cleared under Lord
K~itchener's plan were Jagersfontein
and Fauresmith, whose inhabitants
were laagered at FaureSmith.

al Bank of Newport, Ky, was arrested
to-day by United States Marshal Comp
ton upon a warrant issued at the in
stance of Bank Examiner Tucker. Ow-
ing to the shortage Of Frank N. Brown
of s195. 600 as (istant cashier and
bookkeeper, theVbank was recently
placed in the hands Of Tucker as re-
ceiver. The whereabouts of Brown
are unknown, and it was thought there
would be no prosecution until he was
found. Bank Examiner Tucker said
tonight:
ION April 26, 1899, 1 arranged with
Cashier Remme to examine the books

were taken to Cincinnati and examined
in private. | have recently discovered
that between April 10Th and 29th sixty
false entries were made. covering d
shortage of over $90.GGl. Some one
must have informed Brown that the
books were to be examined 50 as to
give him an opportunity to make the
false entries. This is the basis Of my
affidavit against Remme."
Mr.. Remme said:
Il am innocent and did not know Of
the Brown shortage before the direc-
tors knew it, and gave Brown no in
timation of the secret investigation Of
the books"
Mr.. Remme has been assisting Re

League on charges of bribery. Select
Councilman Thomas O'Boyle, Of the
Eighteenth ward, John J. McAndrew.

J. Coleman, of the sixteenth ward. At
a hearing given them this afternoon
they were examined generally on their
participation in the passage of the

capped prosecution by the compromise

AN OLD VALISE
Yielded Up IA Marriage Certificate OF
Decided Value.

WELLSBORO. Pa. January 3.-The
discovery of a marriage certificate in a
compartment in an old valise is likely
to bring to an end the contest over the
will of the late Chauncey G. Ackley, who
died three years ago, leaving an estate
valued at $4,000. a widow and one son
were Ackley's only known survivors. A
few days after his death, however. Jen-
ME Hamlin. a school teacher Of Clymer
township, presented herself and claimed to
have been married to Ackley at Elmira,
n. Y, in 1898. She was unable to prove
her claim and her suit against the estate
was decided against her.
At a sewing bee held at the Hamlin
home a valise long out of use was brought
into requisition as a receptacle for carpet
rags. The long missing marriage certifi-
1t proclaims the marriage of Chauncey
c. Ackley and Miss Jennie Hamlin, by
a justice of the peace February Il. 1898.
The case is to have another hearing.
