order that he might better direct the
efforts Of the soldiers under him.
The officers, who come here direct
from Washington, D. c., are accom-

How to Make Good Roads.

Meig county, Ohio, is agitating
the question of macadamizing the
road of that county in order that
the people can get to town in winter
Gallia county issued bonds sever
al years ago tor macadamizing the
county roads. Since then 1853 miles
of splendid road has been built at a
cost of 1886, 900 and bonds were is
sued to that amount. According to
tho published statement of the audi
tor of the county, the increase in
taxation on account of these bonds
was only 25 cents on the 800 valua-
ton. The farmers consider it the
best investment that the county has
ever made, as they are enabled to
get to market at any season of the
year and can haul very heavy loads
with ease. Before the roads were
improved, during the winter seasons
it was almost impossible to haul
half load over the road.
Monongalia county's biggest item
of expense in the county roads which
ale becoming worse every year, and
nothing better in sight The farm
ers in the outlying districts have
had terrible sea of mud to con
tend with all winter, and for weeks
at time it was impossible to bring
a load of produce to town.

Cincinnati, April 7.--While the Re
publicans had material gains in the
municipal elections in Ohio they did
not secure many changes in the adj
ministration of the cities. The most
notable exception was at Columbus,
where Mayor Hinkle, Democrat, is
succeeded by Jeffrey, Republican. Tho
mayors of all the leading cities except
Columbus were reelected. The Re
publieans retained control of Cincin-
natl and the Democrats of Cleveland,
and Samuel M. Jones was elected as
an Independent for the fourth time as
mayor Of Toledo The Democrats re

tofore controlled. The winning tick
cts were Of either of the dominant
parties. The Fusion tickets as a rule
were defeated in a dozen or more
cities where they were in the field
One of the most notable gains of the
Republicans was at Mansfield and of
the Democrats at Springfield, where
local issues controlled the results. as
was the case in most of the changes.
There is much diversity of opinion as
to the effect of these municipal cleo
ttons upon the next Republican nom
iration for governor, but it is conced-
ed that Mayor Tom L. Johnson, of
Cleveland, will now become a formid
able candidate for the Democrats
nomination for governor few months
hence. The ingalls, organization will
be continued with view to making
him the Democratic opponent of
Hanna for the senatorship. There is
considerable gossip here about the in
cipient boom of Mayor FIeischmann
for the Republican nomination for
governor. The elections were the first
under the new Ohio municipal code.

different system of officers and none

The movement to this end origina-

PINE LECTURE.
Leland Il. Powers Pleased Large
Audience, as an Impers0nator in
David Garrick.


Audience, as an Impers0natOr In
David Garrick.
A large audience greeted Leland
L. Powers at commencement Hall
last night, and the people came
away more than pleased with the
lecture. One prominent profession
al man remarked that it was worth
the whole cost of the lecture course
given by the Young Mems Christian
Association.
Mr.. Powers is the highest type Of
artist in the line of work. He can
convulse an audience with laughter,
or bring them to soberness without
saying a word, simply by assuming
the expression of different charac-
tiers. He was introduced by Prof.
C. II. Patterson, who referred to
him.as the first great .impersonator
on the American stage, not only IN
point of time, but in point of talent
and culture. He was so enthusiast
tically a, auded that he had to
give sc ID recital as an encore,
and it W. lone equally well with
David Carrick. Mr.. Powers can
get an audience any other time he
may find in convenient to visit Nor
gantown.
The next attraction in the Y. M.
G. A. course will be musical num-
Der on the evening of May 18th.

Store is Closed on Account of
Attachment Issued


For the Benefit of Numerous Creditors
1t is Thought that he has Become
: Insane tremendous Business Being
done and Money made Hand Over
Fist by him.
b. j. Taylor has lett town. The
general opinion is that he has gone
crazy. He left last night with few
hundred dollars on his person. A
wife and little girl were abandoned
Attachments have been levied on
his store and other property.
Taylor recently bought the Will
Taylor store on Beverly avenue and
has been doing a tremendous bust
ness. Only yesterday he sent out
$500 worth of goods.
Collections had been good He
was careful as business man and
his actions are inexplicable except
on the ground that his mind is
wrong.
Last night he vent into the store
and took what money there was in
the cash drawer and remarked to
the clerk that they would not see'him
any more. They thought gnothing
of this however as everything had
been regular and he had been at
tending to business as usual on
Monday.
This morning attachments were
placed on his property by the sheriff
and constables These are for
claims for C. Y. Bishop 81 400,
Fairmont Grocery $500, Connells-
wills Grocery 1877. A local bank
was in sos but the first attachment
levied was sworn out by it.
Taylor it is stated. had been men,
tally unbalanced formerly and recent
ly has been suffering from the effects
Of blow on the head which he re-
ceived in arresting an unruly drunk.
This had made him irrational at
times but had been kept rather quiet.
No trace has been found OF the mis-
sing man 1t il to be hoped that he
will recover from the effects OF his
madness if he is insane, and will
return to Morgantown.
Besides the store, he owned property
in the Fourth ward worth 81, 900. He
came here from Barbour county and
served on the police force before going
into business. He has been preach
er but had to give ii up on account Of
his health. He made good record

EXCITING CHASE.
Policemen Have Lively Sprint
After Edward Bratz.

He was Presented With Warrant
Charging HIM With Resisting Police
man Taylor-GOt Away From Officers
and Could not be Found.
The lower part of the city and
Beechurst Avenue section was much
excited by runaway Monday evening.
1t was Edward Bratz fleeing from the
local policemen, with three OF the
police and deputy sheriff Core in pur-
suit.
Bratz was arrested Saturday night,
for an act of indecency not allowed
in the city, but when the officer APP
preached him, he resisted and struck
policeman Taylor in the face. Taylor
had a warrant issued for him Monday
after he had been fined in police court
and released.
The officers found him up town in
the evening about O'Clock and pre-
scented the warrant. While it was be-
ing read TO him he dashed away down
Walnut street, out Chestnut to the
alley, down to Front, up to Bumbo
Lane, down to the river bank past
Core and Greggs Livery stable, and
the last seen of him, he had turned
up the alley between James Turner's
dwelling and the colored school.
Two or three shots were fired by
the police while on the chase, and
these attracted an excited crowd of
people, who we're gathered in groups
along Beechurst and Front street.
The police searched the buildings
about the alley where Bratz was last
seen, but he could not be found. 1t
is not thought that he could possibly
have gotten further away, so there
seems to be no alternative, but to
conclude that he secreted himself
somewhere near the railroad.
