THREE CAPITAL CASES
Being Tried at This Term-A Record
Breaker for Wayne County
Clerk Ormond Compliment
ed in Open Court by the
Judge Presiding.


From Daily Argus of Friday.
|! Perhaps never before in the his
tory Of Wayne county have three
cases punishable with death been
| tried at one term of the court.
One white man by the name of
James Pritchett was tried for kill
ing his wife. He was convicted of
murder in the second degree, and
sentenced to the penitentiary for
thirty years. Pritchett is not far
away from insanity at all times, and
at the time of the murder there is
grave doubt of his responsibility.
The disposition of the cas- "a in
every way just and wise.
Yesterday, a negro brute was con-
victed of rape. The woman was a
respectable colored woman, sixty
years Of age. The sentence of death
has not yet been pronounced. In a
few weeks the wretch will behanged.
To-day Frank Winn, q negro, is
being tried for killing his cousin.
Winn is from Mt. Olive, and has
property worth about five thousand
dollars.
In connection with these capital
cases, we desire to make special
mention of the able and impressive
manner in which I. F. Ormond,
ESQ.,, the efficient clerk of the Su-
perior Court, has performed his du-
ties.
In the arraignment of prisoners,
when they stand in the presence of
the Court to be tried for their lives,
clerks of courts generally rattle off
the solemn words of the arrangement
like an auctioneer selling a lot of
worn-out plow-points.
Not so with Clerk Ormond. He
has thoroughly memorized the
forms, and in clear, solemn tones he
calls the prisoner to the bar to be
tried for his life.
So admirably has Clerk Ormond
performed these solemn duties that
the Judge in open court took occa-
sion to compliment him.

AN OLD COLD
Is Catarrh. and Catarrh Leads
to CONSUMPTION,

The tendency Of catarrh of the head
is to pass downward through the bron-
ch1al tubes to the lungs. Any one who
has had catarrh OF the head for a zeal or
more finds the disease gradually pro-
crossing downward. In some cases the
progress is rapid, and in other cases it is
slow; but sooner or later if catarrh is
allowed to run, It viii go to tne lungs
and set up the disease known as con-
sumption. It is doubtful if consumption
IS ever caused By anything except ca
tarrh.
The catarrh usually begins as a cold in
the head or throat, and is neglected until
it becomes chronic; then it begins to
dawn on the victim that he has catarrh.
Unless he is very foolish indeed he will
not rest easy until the catarrh is entirely
cured. Thousands pay no attention to
it until it is too late.
Mrs. J. Priest, Lee, Mich, writes:-"I
think there is no medicine on earth that
excells Peruna. My husband won't take
any other. We have tested it and it
worked a great change in my sons
health last spring when we thought he
was going into consumption. We gave
him only n bottle and he was all right.
I tell everybody about how much good
it has done US. My husband says he
can't do without it. AS for myself it
saved me seven years G from going
blind. I could not see to read one word
for six weeks. Thought I should surely
lose my sight. I commenced taking Pc
runa and by the time I had taken one
bottle I could see to read as well as ever.
We think it is a grand medicine."-Mrs.
J. Priest.
Use as Much as Needed.
II Peruna is used a cold never be-
comes chronic, and hence catarrh is pre-

the representatives of the Viewers
union on the length of a cut of cloth to
be accepted as 4 standard for COMMIT
ing wages for weaving. The weave
made three propositions:
l.. That the standard of printcloth
cuts be 46 yards.
2. That the committees of the weav-
ers be allowed to measu cr s about
which there is a dispute.
3. That the actual length of cuts TO
be woven. be posted and that there be
an agreement that the length Ue as
nearly that as LossIhlH
The manufacturers declined the first
request as unfair. in view Of the
varied speed and styles of looms. but
were favorably disposed toward the
last W. requests. They stated. how
ever. that other manufacturers would
need to be consulted before a fixed rule
could be adopted. The conference ad-
