FUNERAL OF JOHN GOODRICH.
Misjudged a Minister-LOcaI Notes
From Randall.

RANDALL, Aug. 2l.-John Good
rich who died Monday morning was
buried in Bethel Cemetery Wednes-
day the 10th inst at 2 o'clock. Mr..
Goodrich was born in England April
nth 1924 and therefore was past 10
years of age. He came to America
when young man and settled near
pittsburg until 1868, when he came
to Monongalia County where he has
lived upon his farm in Cass district
ever since. Mr.. Goodrich leaves a
widow and seven children to mourn
his loss. He was honored and re-
spected by all who knew him. He was
a member OF the Baptist church. But
the best part about Mr.. Goodrich he
was strictly honest and never willing
ly cheated or defrauded human out
Of one cent.
Mr.. Isner preached his farewell SER
mon at Gustin last Sabbath He
proposes going to some school for a
year.
Simon Boyers preached at Bethel
Sunday afternoon.
DR.. James S. Boyers and family Of
Indiana and Rev Simon Boyers of
OHIO are visiting their parents Mr..
and Mrs. Simon l.. Boyers of JIM
town.
Rev. Merrill Of Wadestown was at
Usage one day last week assisting his
daughter to get school He stopped
at The house of one or the trustees; the
trustee not being at home the Reverend
along the one street of Usage
and eventually entered the store. Our
merchant is rather suspicious of
preachers believing thai there are
many black sheep 10 the fold, and
some that profess to be preachers that
are not He had been deceived about
three years ago by man who claimed
to be an Evangelist preacher and
who conducted two weeks meeting
at church some two miles from Nor
gantown. Well our merchant having
an eye on Rev. Merrill sauntering and
coming ia the store and claiming to
be a preacher from Wadestown with
out any visible horse or buggy, Our
merchant thought he was another
evangelist, and talked to him very
plain and gave him the cold shoulder,
In the evening our merchant walked
down toward Jimtown and again met
Rev. Merrill with his daughter Elk
plantations were then made on both
sides and Mr.. Merrill laughed hearth
ly at being taken as fake preacher.

"Hobo" Graham, the man who was
arrested on suspicion the day the
B. IL o. station was robbed, was re
leased yesterday. He made bee.
line for the railroad and boarded the
first freight train for Pittsburg. He
was a little behind his schedule and
had to hurry. Graham, it will be
remembered. was seen with satchel
at the b Il O. station, before the
money till was robbed. Later, when
he was arrested, he did not have the
satchel, and never made any in
quiries aboutlt. The police thought
he would bear watching. They en-
ployed two small boys, Jamison and
Myers. to shadow him. The boys
hung on his trail until he boarded
the freight, but he didn't look for
the satchel. The officers think Ora
ham was crooked, but could get no
evidence to hold him
James Farley was arrested yester-
day and placed in jail by Chief Price
He was fined $500 and costs this

DEAD MEMS BONES
Discovered in Forgotten Vault
This Morning.


WOrkmen on Bumbo Lane Make Cru
some Discovery Old Baptist Graye-
yard Not Completely Rid of its oeeu-
pants When Removal Was Made,
Some Years Ago.
More ghosts are planning trouble
for Thony Pietro, the City council.
and the people residing on Bumbo
Lane. Old graves have been uneartl
ed there and the bones thrown out
to the bleaching sun.
While digging a trench for the
curb stone on the south side of
Bumbo Lane Friday morning, the
men working for Thony Pietro who
has the contract for paving on
Bnmbo Lane unearthed an Old brick
vault in which were found the bones
OF dead human being. The body
must have been buried there nearly
century ago, as all trace OF coffin
has disappeared. The bones appar-
emily those of the human arm were
considerably decayed
The vault is walled up with brick
on the inside. The paving gang in
making bed for the curbstone dug
diagonally across the vault
exposing the walls on either side
The bricks are still in place and well
preserved.
Many curious and in. crested spec
tators were gathered on the lane
today to take look at the ghostIy
remains. You'll be like that some
day too said one of the Italians
working in the ditch to one of the
visitors. A section of curb was set
right through the vault, and the
grave covered up again TO await the
resurrection, or the next generation
