At st. Clairsville yesterday William
Danfod was tried for second degree
murder and acquitted, the jury being
out only about twenty minutes and
returning verdict of not guilty.
The story of the murder is substan-
TALLY as follows: On December 81, the
last day fthe year, Danford and Al
fred Burge were in Reeds blacksmith
shop, in Alledonia, and Mr.. Burge, the
father of the dead boy, and several
Others, were in the shop. Burgess
father had revolver, and taking the
loads out, passed it around for in
spection, and then placing the cart
ridges back in the revolver he put it
in his coat, hanging on the wall.
Danford later went and got the re-
yolver and snapped it at young Burge.
The revolver was discharged, the ball
entering Burgess head on the right
side, below the eye, and coming out
at the back of his head, killing him
instantly.
Thirty witnesses were subpoenaed
on the case, all being from Alledonia
and Crabapple, all in the same neigh
borhood. Hon. r. M. Eaton and Harry
Kinney defended Danford, and Prose
cutting Attorney Armstrong was as
sisted by Owen Nary.
Reed the blacksmith, did not see
the shot fired, but did not think the
firing accidental. John Lewis, an en-
ploye in the shop, saw the shot fired
and did not think it accidental. Jason
Baker, a hoy in the shop, testified
about the same as Lewis. These were
the only three persons in the shop.
The father of the boy testified that
he did not think it was accidental, as
the two had quarreed short time be-
fore the shooting.
Danford testified that he did not
know the gun was loaded and had not
seen the cartridges replaced; had moth
ing against the boy, and that the
shooting was purely accidental.
The other witnesses testimony was
not SO important and they were soon
disposed Of and in the afternoon
both sides rested and made their argu-
ments, and the case went to the jury
about o'clock
After being out about twenty min
utes the jurors returned a verdict of
not guilty. 1t was one OF the shortest
trials ever held in Belmont county, and
very little interest was taken. The
result was not a surprise. Danford
is a brother-in-law OF the boy who
was killed, and is about twenty-four
years old, and is a sober and indus
trious young man. Alfred Burge, who
was killed, was about seventeen years
of age.

For recruiting the strength and spent
energies of men and women advanced
in years. there can be no substitute for
Paine's celery compound. 1t is the one
preparation considered worthy the
name of a true nerve food and blood
remedy by physicians throughout the
country. 1t is prescribed by them in
every State in the Union TO tone up
the system. regulate the nerves, and
restore health and strength.
Nothing in the past has ever APP
preached ii in power of building up
weakened nerve tissues and giving
strength to the tired body. In severe
cases of persistent headaches. dyspep-
STA, neuralgia. and sleaplessness, due 10
nervous feebleness, Paine's celery COM
pound has record of rapid and last
ing cures that embraces every city and
town in the wide sweep OF the United
States.
Its remarkable power over disease
lies in it's active replacing OF worn-out
parts by new. healthy ones, and It's
healing and purifying action among the
most minute tissues Of the body
The heavy, alarming pain in the
back and lolns disappears; the growing
paleness, nervousness, and loss OF
flesh is stopped and a bright. buoyant
feeling gradually takes the place OF
that unending sense of tire and nery-
Gus depression.
An improved appetite, sound diges-
| ticn, uninterrupted sleep and an en-
ergetic nervous condition invariably
follow the use of Paine's celery COM
pound.

For an Electric Railyyay/Franchise

For an Electric Railvyay/Franchi his G
in Martins Ferry.
Franchises for electric roads on the
Ohio Side seems to he in great demand,
and Martins Ferry seems to be the
point where they wish to reach the
river
At Martins Ferry, yesterday, Mr.. J.
A. White was consulting with the bust
ness men about line over the Mar
tins Ferry and Colerain pike to con-
meet with the Mt. Pleasant and Bridge
port electric line, of which &c is the
promoter. Mr.. White spoke of the
great difficulty in reaching Wheeling
on account of the bridges, but stated
that his company was amply backed
financially and able to build bridge,
and would do so il they found no other
way.
1t is thought by many that these diff
ferent companies may all go together
and construct bridge, as at present,
including Mr.. White, there are four
parties wanting the franchies over this
pike, and from the interest shown it
is most probable that a line will be
built if the franchise can Zoe secured.
The pike commissioners have not yet
decided.

line as it is possible to make it, with a
width of 12O feet, for the use Of auto
mobiles and bicycles. as we'll as for the
use of the farmer, is thing that the
Automobile club of America will try
to bring about. The subject was seri-
ously discussed at banquet, in honor
OF members Of the National Highway
Commission, at the Waldorf-Astoria
in New York, when plans were made
and the route announced. Besides a
direct path from New York to San
Francisco, passing through Chicago,
st. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha and
Ogden, the club wants highway
along each coast. Congress will be
asked to appropriate one-third of the
expense, and the states, counties.
townships and cities en- route will be
asked to pay the rest; the owners OF
property benefited to donate the right
of-way. The club and highway COM
mission have on their list of mem
bership the names of some of the
Foremost men of America.
