The call to the Sheriff. came from
p. G. Ships, the green house man of
Pleasant Valley. About two o'clock
Sunday afternoon, man knocked on
his door and demanded admission.
Ships responded, and at once saw
the man was either crazy drunk or
the victim of violent form of insan-
ity. Shipp's efforts at first were to
pacify the man but he was in such a
condition as TO be uncomfortable.
Leaving the home of Ships he next
entered his green house and exercised
his physical prowess by commencing
to fight an imaginary foe. He struck

mist, beating the air with feroclty
that would have done justice to an
ambitious pug"
Ships, who is n man of powerful
physique, rushed to the green house
and with all the physical force at his
command, attempted to subdue the
apparently demented man. He cried
aloud. asking for people he is sup
posed to have known, and begged that
they might be called. Ships, unable
to quiet the fellow, summoned assist

most powerless to hold the frenzied

BODY
Of A Man Who Had Been Dead
-Four Days
Is Discovered Near Village
Of St. Louisville
lNewark american Tribunel

Newark American Tribune)
A most grewsome find was that of
the dead body of A. M. Goff, aged rs
year, a bachelor hermit, in the barn
yard of his home, three-quarters OF
mile north of st. Louisville, on the
Utica road, Tuesday morning, about
Z o'clock, by Clyde Warner, a neigh
Dor. The body had undoubtedly been
lying on the ground, exposed to the
weather, and trampled around by a
horse and so chickens. Death was
undoubtedly due to heart disease,
from which the deceased had been a
sufferer for some time.
The residents OF st. Louisville and
vicinity were shocked when 1t became
known that A. M. Goff. the aged her
nit bachelor, had been found dead in
his barnyard.
According to the information given
the writer, Mr.. Goff had owed a young
man named Clyde Warner, living a
half mile north on the road, some
money, and had told him to come over
to the house and he would pay him.
Mr.. Warner followed instructions,
and went to the house Tuesday morn
ing about o'clock and raped on the
door, but got no response. Knowing
Mr.. Goff to be very punctual man,
he was at loss to understand the
absence of the man he sought from
the house. He started search
through the place, and while making
his way through the barnyard was
Mortified to find the dead body of the
man he sought lying on the ground
and footprints of the horse, which was
in the barnyard, and chicken tracks
all around the body.
He was so overcome with surprise
that 1t was several minutes before he
recovered his wits enough to give an
alarm. Finally passerby was hailed
and told of the finding. The two then
notified DR.. Marriott, the ex-coroner
of the county, who In turn notified
Coroner Wiyiarch of this city. The
coroner asked his former chief to look
after the case for him, and this was
done. DR.. Marriott, after viewing the
remains and making close examina
ton, decided from the condition OF
the body that the man had been dead
for at least three days, and this was
further substantiated by the fact that
that there was mail in the box at the
front gate, dated last Friday.
Further investigation, substantiated
by surroundings, show that the aged
man In all probability had attempted
to climb up ladder into the haymow
from the outside of the barn, and was
seized with heart failure and fell back
ward, dead.
During his days of activity Mr.. Gofl
was paperhanger and painter, and
had been soldier in the war of the
rebellion. He was also an Odd Fellow
and Mason.

it is stated at the Baltimore and
Ohio local station that 1t has been
determined by the management Of
the company to issue annual passes
to all former employees of the system
who are now on its pension rolls.
An order to this effect, which is an
innovation, has been issued by the
new general manager OF the system,
a, W. Thompson. These passes have
just been issued and are being dis
tributed.
This innovation was instituted by
the company as reward for good
service, and as recognition OF the
past labors Of the men who are now
ION the pension list and incapacitated
because of age and intlrmities for
any other duties.
Those living on the main line have

Wheeling, Ohio River, Newark and

Those on the Southwestern grand
division anywhere from Cincinnati

Columbus and Parkersburg east,

There are in all 6S4 pensioners on
the rolls and 1t doubtless viii appear
a somewhat surprising demonstra-
ton of the longevity Of railroad life
that of these III or II percent are

League in this state that the pres
ent legislature will adopt consider
able temperance legislation. lie de-
clares he has no doubt the prohibit

and that local option and statewide
prohibition laws will be enacted
Though the last two sessions failed
at temperate legislation, DR.. Hare
says that the prohibition amend

in the House, and 90 OF the 80 votes
in the Senate. He further states
| ihat the local option law is certain
10 be enacted and that there is little
or no doubt about statutory prohi-
bition,
There have been bigger shows so
far this session than the prohibition
amendment and other temperance
legislation, but after the State Sen
/ ate gets together, if that even is to
be pulled off at this session, and af-
ter the Democrats have elected two
United States senators. the fight for
and against saloon will be one OF trr
main attractions. In the organiza-
ton of the House the liquor fight
was absent. and While no attempt
was made to get it into the Republic
can senate caucus, it was left out in
the cold. Various local option bills
are being prepared and there will be
somewhat of fight before the ques-
ton is settled.
