Edgington, May 25.-Editor Argus:
| see by the papers that the board of
supervisors voted to increase the coun-
ty taxes to the amount of mills for
a term of six years, claiming that there
is not enough revenue to run the coun-
ty. In 1875 the amount raised was
$4,000 and at this time the taxes of
the county bring about $S1 ,000-$6, 900
more than i'll 1875. The farmers pay
double what they paid "a years ago,
and pay on all improvements and what
grain they feed to stock and what they
use for seed, all grain they have on
the farm the first of April. Then there
are additions to the cities, and then
there are the workmen who have
bought lots and built houses and i'm
proved their property. They pay good
taxes, because they cannot hide them.
But what surprises me most is all
those manufactures, and all their ma
terial and new, substantial buildings,
and many additions to the cities, and
no increase of taxes TO speak of. The

New Charges Filed.-Two more
charges have grown out of the knife
fight which took place Sunday evening
julius Staelens, who were complain
ants against August and Gustos Braels,
are now in turn defendants and the
Braels are the compliments. The
charge preferred in this second case
is assault and battery. The case would
have come up yesterday had it not
been for the serious condition of Stael-
ems, who was deeply cut on the right
wrist. He is confined to his bed, and
the case against him has been con-
tinued until Saturday.

free the church of debt by June l be
raised. Many of the congregation have
also subscribed to this fund.

for him to go through the evidence

this step, the judge will give his de
cision as TO whether holders of stool,
certificates or holders of patent notes

Fire Marshal GETTING Busu.

Fire Marshal Ellison is getting
after people uspected of burning
property and where cases are made
against such it is likely to 60 rather
hard with them.
Mrs. Mary V. Farrell, who has
been residing at Huntington, but
whose husband (who is quite old)
lives at Matewan, was arrested last
week, accused of having been re.
sponsible for the burning Of her
husbands residence in Mingo coun-
ty. Taere Is said to be large in
surance on the property.
Mrs. Laura Is. Ferguson was also
arrested one day last week three
miles south of Huntington on a
warrant sworn out before Squire
Stuart by Fire Marshal Ellison
charging arson. The arrest is the
sequel of an inves tigation made by
the State Fire Marshal into the
blaze which originated, several
months ago, in a house on Third
avenue, near Eigth street, occupied
by Mrs. Ferguson and Grace Gard
ner. The building was completely
gutted and the household goods de-
stroyed. Mrs. Ferguson left the
house in company with the Gard.
ner girl a short time before the
blaze originated and suspicious cir
cumstances in connection with the
fire prompted an investigation by
Marshal Ellison. The building
was owned by Frank Ensiow, Jr.,
and it is stated that Mrs. Ferguson
had two insurance policies OF $500
each on her house hold goods.

Mingo county, though by no means
as populous as a score of other counties,
