Jacob Romeis, republican, in that he will contest his right to serve in Congress from that district. Since McKSnley was ousted a year ago, the democrats and seat any contestant they please. THB lower part of Maryland was considerably shaken up by an January 2d. It agitated all the mountain region, doing no damage, however, except breaking glass and cracking walls. One old democratic farmer said he thought it was them "durned" republicans blowing up the public buildings in Washington on account of the election of Cleveland.

beautiful, clear water entirely free from llzardi. and which tasted at good as It looked. Hydrants were opened up town the next day, and the pressure was evidently sufficient for a fire stream, although the pipes were not yet full. The strainer at the crib was put In Tuesday. Some considerable criticism has been made on the manner of laying the suction pipe.

It now lays only half buried In the sand "and perhaps six inches under water. The question is, will the pipe freeze Engineer NorcroM thinks that the rapid passage of the water through the pipe will not allow it to freeze. This theory seems all right, but as it Is only a theory, and as the expense of a freeze up would be very great, the works should not be accepted until this matter has been thoroughly tested by severely cold weather. ATTDITOK-OF-STATE Hiesewetter has done what we dare say no other public officer would do. When the war closed the likeness of Ohio's great war Governor, John Brough, himself a democrat, was placed on the left hand corner of every State warrant.

This was in honor ot the memory of a patriotic Governor whose fame waa world wide. The present Auditor of State, Hiese- wetter, whose name was never before pronounced outside of his own county, has displaced the likeness of the old hero, and placed his own picture instead. An ezchange suggests that he did so thinking it would be easy to remember old John Brougb, while it require some such record to prove tbat Hieaewetter ever existed. GSM. GRANT'S financial embarrassments are causing universal sympathy among all classes of citizens.

When he retired from the Presidency he was the possessor of property sufficient to warrant a good support in accordance with his position. When his son went into business with Mr. Ward, the ex-President became a silent partner of the firm, but had nothing to do with its business aside from the capital he invested. The house had almost unlimited credit from the fact that it was known that Gen. Grant was connected with it, and thus gave Ward, who managed the entire business of the house, ample opportunity to operate.

He proved to be a. first-class scoundrel, and not only squandered the capital of the firm, but a large portion of Gen. Grant's means besides. The latter not knowing the condition of affairs, borrowed of Mr. Vanderbilt, to help the firm tide Over a corner, and within a week afterwards manager Ward owned up to a bad failure.

The result is very disastrous to Gen. Grant, who at once, turned over all hia property to secnre the Vanderbilt claim. That gentleman offers to throw off about sixty thousand dollars, and prominent men are now engaged in effort to raise sufficient funds to restore the property to the Valiant old general. If an appeal were once made to the public for a contribution of one dollar each, it would be pledged in ten days. As it is, there need be na fear that his property will be allowed to be sold.

Congress should at once restore him to the army and retire him on half pay. This would be only an act of justice to the greatest of soldiers, living or dead. The country owes him a debt it can never pay, and it will see that he does not come to want in his declining years. Water in The water-works in Lorain were completed last week, and we hope they will answer the full expectations of the citizens. There were no wells in that village that furnished wholesome water, and there was no other alternative than to go to the lake, as the river water was impure, containing all the sewage of Elyria.

The mains from the pump- house, as we learn, are wood instead of iron. It would have been better in the long run to have used iron at the present price, and we fear the result will to demonstrate, especially as there is great danger of the wood mains giving under the pressure needed in case of fire. The works are constructed on Holly system, and if the pipes stand the required pressure the ot Lorain will find the abundant supply of lake water, a luxury that they can well afford to pay for. The Lorain Times announces the Happy event as follows After at least two months of apparently delay, the Lorain Waterworks are completed. The engines on Monday evening, December MU), at 6:00 p.m.

White- Mjt Ine (only one of them teemed to work nicely, after a few atrokes up SPAPFRl the In the whole history of our Government previous to the administration of President Jackson there were comparatively few removals from office, and those mainly, if not wholly, for cause. But when Andrew Jackson ascended the throne he introduced the new doc trine or system "to the victors belong the spoils," and he commenced an indiscriminate slaughter of the innocents.

There were more removals from office during the first four years of General Jackson's administration than had been all the Presidents previously made for the forty years. Owing to these arbitrary removals from office and the removal of the deposits placed in the United States Bank by law of Congress, it began to unify and bring into harmonious action all the opponents of St. Jackson's administration. They took the name of Whigs. This Whig party, as we now term it, was a glorious olc party, and had among its leaders many if not a majority, of the ablest men 01 our Nation; among them may be named Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, John Quincy Adams, John Davis, Wm.

Seward, Samuel L. Southard, John Clayton, John J. Crittenden, Henry A Wise, Thomas Ewing, Thomas Corwin Alexander H. Stevens, Robert Toombs Sargent S. Prentiss, John Bell, and a long list of other noted statesmen that day, and of those times.

The firs' Whig National Convention was held a Harrisburg, in the month of December, 1839, when they nominated General William Henry Harrison, of Ohio, for President, and John Tyler of Virginia, for Vice-President. After that convention commenced the ever memorable and glorious political campaign of 1840. A man who was a voter in 1840, and was not a Whig, and actec with the democratic party, was considered unfortunate, and lost a great dea of good cheer and political enthusiasm Although it is now more than forty- four years since that campaign ended yet the writer calls to mind almost daily the and soul-stirring events of that political cyclone tha swept over all these United States The result was that Harrison and Tyler were elected by a large majority of the Electoral as well as the Nation's popular vote. General Harrison was inaugurated on the 4th of March, 1841. He served his country and its people just one month in that capacity, and died at the White House, Washington, on the 4th of April, the same year.

This was sad news and a sad blow to all the Whigs, and many democrats mourned his death. It was a dark day for the John Tyler, in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, was sworn into office as President, and at once assumed the duties of the office. Then Whigs began to inquire: Who is John Tyler, and what is to be his course of action in his high office? They out to their sorrow. had called into his Cabinet able counsellors, such eminent statesmen as Daniel Webster, Thomas Ewing, Francis Grange, John Crittenden, et al. Alter seeing and learning the policy of the accidental President they in due time stepped down and out.

When John Tyler was nominated for Vice-President on the Whig ticket he was styled what was known in those days as a Conservative. Originally he was a Jacksonian Democrat, but not liking General Jackson's policy of removing the deposits, and some other of the President's arbitrary measures, he bolted his administration, and was known politically as a Conservative. But after assuming the reins of government his old Jacksonian Democracy returned. As it might truthfully be said he returned to his first love. He soon came to a disagreement with the leading Whigs, both in and out of Congress, and there was an open rupture between them.

He was a man of some considerable native ability, with a vaulting ambition. No sooner did he assume the office of President than he began to lay the ropes and work the wires for his own succession. He strove to flatter his enemies, the old Democratic party. He sought their favor by removing whigs from office, and filling their places with Democrats. And thus the work went on to the end of his administration.

The Democratic party after they had used him and encouraged him in his treachery, cast him off as an old garment, and when the Na- tlonal Convention met in Baltimore, in 1844, John Tyler never received a vote candidate for President. Served him right. He met just such treatment as all traitors deserve. Up to that time since the Christian era we have had i three eminent and world renowned traltora, Judas Iioarioc heads the list, next in order it Benedict Arnold, while John Tjritr completes the trio. ALL FOB MONEY AMD Orricc.

A Hew Law Heeded. I am fully aware that I am now attacking an old, gray-haired custom, but no amount of age will ever make a wrong into a right. We in justice need a law that will compensate the persons or families of those who are Innocent of any crime, but who by reason of suspicion are made to bear the cost of expensive defense, and perhaps loss of time, and imprisonment. And, indeed, it may be quite a question whether even the families of criminals themselves are not in justice entitled to a degree of compensation. In very many cases at least, the innocent wife and children suffer nearly or all the penalty sought to be inflicted upon the husband and father.

Perhaps he became intoxicated and disorderly, was fined, and it may be sent to the lock-up or work-house, but the entire fine and loss ot time is taken from the mouths and backs of the innocent wife and children. Hence they who are guilty of no wrong suffer the penalty, while the offender is faring even better than he would at home. But more especially does this apply in cases where a person is a victim of circumstances, or it may be of mistaken identity. He is suspected of being a felon and is prosecuted accordingly. He is of course prosecuted in the interest of public good.

Then why should not the public bear all the expense of it. What justice is there in compelling an innocent man, or rather, perhaps, his family, to suffer thus for the public good with no compensation. If a man is good for jiothlng and his time is worth nothing, then pay him nothing there- for. If he is a drunkard and would only use the returns for evil, then pay It to his family. Our laws are supposed to be formed for the administration of justice.

If an individual were by reason of error to thus injure another in other matters the law would require that reparation should be made. And we claim that law should not be above dealing out justice as even-handed as it requires-others to do. Do the best we may and innocence will have to suffer in consequence of the guilty, but justice require that it should be avoided as much as possible. M. ROBERTS.

HENRIETTA, O. May and December. BAI.TIMORBJ January Eloise Newman, aged sixty-two years, and Edward C. Lucar, aged sixty-two years, were married to-day under singular circumstances. It appears tbat ten years ago Mrs.

Newman was divorced from her husband on the grounds of dissipation, and the groom of to-day was an office boy in her lawyer's office, only thirteen years old at the time. Mrs. Newman formed an attachment for the youth, and as he was an orphan, and boarding among strangers, she induced him to come and live with her, she being without children. They were often seen together, but no idea of marriage was entertained by their acquaintances. To-day the marriage was solemnized at the residence of Mrs.

Newman. The friends of the latter say her object in marrying Lucas was a desire to leave him her fortune, which is estimated at $100,000. Mrs. Newman has several sisters and a brother residing out West, whom she has not spoken to for many years. She was afraid if she left her fortune to Lucas without marrying him her relatives would try to break the will, alleging undue influence.

Lucas has been acting as her business manager for ten years. He is a fine looking young man, and was reared in the orphan asylum here, hav- beeen a foundling. Mrs. Newman is of excellent family, and stands high in the community. Insurrection in India.

Advices from India state that a party of Mopiah fanatics entrenebed themselves in the temple near Calicut, in the Malabor district, and defied-the authority of local officials. The British corps were called out to dislodge them. In order to effect this it was necessary to explode the gate, whereupon the entrenched parties offered desperate resistance. Nine Mopiahs and one soldier were killed before the insurrection was quelled. CHICAGO, January Eeane, drunk, to-night assaulted his old father about 11:30.

John McNamee interfered, and was holding the door shut against; young Keane, when the latter drew his revolver and fired through the panel. The bullet struck McNamee the mouth, killing him instantly. The slayer was arrested after a lengthy chase, during which he shot at the officers twice. Keane and his victim were both railroad laborers. LITTLS ROCK, January old German ft Texarkana while under he influence of liquor tried on Sunday night to enter his lodgings, antt finding he door locked tried to crawl in the flue, which was smaller a few feet be- ow than at the top and he stuck head downwards.

There was a small fire in he hearth and he was smoked to death before any one discovered his situation. The people of Arizona don't like the Mormons muob, may be inferred from the following paragraph in a paper published in that Territory: "We understand that two Mormon nilsslpn- aries are traveling through this section seeking whom they may devour. This thing must stop. We warn the wretches to get out as fast as their legs will carry them; for if they don't it will be worse for them. We don't want any Mormon funny business in ours, and we won't have it.

There is plenty of cold lead for all Mormon missionaries who monkey with our people, after tbey have been told to vamoose the ranch. We are talking. PITTSBUKG, January Graf ton, W. Post special says: Baltimore Ohio officers arrested Mary Beck on the the charge of being the person who wrecked the St. Louis express near that place last Wednesday, with the loss of two lives and the destruction of much property.

Two weeks ago her husband was arrested by the officers of the road for robbing frieght cars, and since then Mrs. Beck has been going about in male attire seeking revenge upon the company for the arrest. On Wednesday she decided to wreck the train, and with that object she placed a bar of iron in the switch frog. BtrrTB, M. January the Magna Charta mine, at yesterday, James Tippert and William Bray, miners, became dizzy ascending the shaft, and falling out of the cage were reduced to pulp against the timbers.

The remains dropped to the bottom nearly six hundred feet below. John Bray, the only other occupant of the cage, arrived at the landing place in a kneeling posture, suffocated and and holding to the bar in a death clutch. Winks! I am glad to see you set such a good example." what way?" "Why, as I passed your house this morning I noticed that your sidewalk was well sprinkled with ashes." "Oh! you see I'm bound to get even with that mean feflow who lives next door to me. He's just the worst neighbor I ever did have, and I'm going to starve htm out." "But what has the ashes to do with him "He is a surgeon." A raffle for a fawn recently took place in a Montana town. After the raffle was over the holder of the winning ticket asked for his fawn, supposing the animal to be a pet in some family.

The lady manager of the affair told him it was out in the hills and all he had to do was to go and catch it. Then she laughed till her fat sides shook. Shows how loosely these affairs are being conducted in some places. The latest surgical luxury is an instrument by which incisions may be made wthout giving pain. It consists of a knife which is regulated by a watch attachment, so that it advances at the rate of only one inch in six hours.

A slight sensation of uneasiness is produced which does not, however, prevent the patient from going to sleep. A prominent government official in Washington says that when in New York a few days ago he learned that five physicians had been colled in consultation to examine the state of General Grant's health, and that they had arrived at the conclusion that was broken down physically and required absolute rest. The engineer of a fast train out of Chicago says it goes "slicker than a square yard of ligntning," and that one of the mail clerks, the other morning, just as the train started, "leaned over to kiss his wife, who was standing on the platform, and bless me if he didn't kiss a cow out at Kiverside." The Indians are savages, of course, and civilization of a high grade is to be found in Washington, but Indian Commissioner Price asserts that there is more drunkenness and crime among the 200,000 inhabitants of the Capital than among the 250,000 unsophisticated red men.

Every snow-storm in the East now is a "blizzard," according to the local press, and yet the wild Easterners know no more about blizzards than they do of "chenooks." A blizzard is a storm where the snow is three feet deep and all in the air. Not a mile of railroad, not a bank, not a telegraph office is erected in Calhoun county, 111., though it has a population of about 8,000. The typical resident is said to be part hunter and part farmer, with a decided leaning to leisure. Facts that Can be Accepted.

It has been conceded by all people of reasonable judgement that manufacturers can sell goods lower than middle men or agents. Were it not true we would lay aside our mallets and chisels and feel sorry that we served a legitimate apprenticeship at monumental and sculpture work. We would say to the people who are looking up memorials for their departed friends, be your own agents and let us do your work, which you will find us capable of doing, if you will visit the works of Johnson fc Sands, where marble and granite monuments and headstones are constantly being finished, and which is not a supposed "western office" of some "great Eastern" or "Vermont firm," but a business owned and operated by us. To the people of Lorain county and elsewhere we extend oar most hearty thanks for their liberal patronage during the past year, not from force of custom, but because of your kind assistance and confidence in the start of two young men at home. Competition in lower prices for good work at No.

It the alarming fact that the business failures and embarrassments of the year which haa just closed have been far more numerous and distressing than those of any other year since the Resumption Act went into effect. The one primal cause of all this disturbance in trade is distrust and apprehension.

And just so long as the government policy which introduced re lief and whiuh made effective and auc oessful the efforts of capital is being men aced, just BO far distant is any genuine business prosperity. AT church fairs in Birmingham, Eng land, there has been a great deal of gamb ling. All denominations were equally guilty in the matter. The Congregation alists had raffles for bank-notes, and the Episcopalians announced an open raffle "tickets, threepence each," with a num ber of prizes, including bottles of wine and boxes of cigars, for the benefit of some church schools. At last the corporation haa felt itself bound to refuse the use the town-hall, unless some guarantee is given that there be no raffling.

PEOPLE who have been hiding away their middle names for years are now bringing them out because somebody says they are fashionable. Startling Fact. It is conceded by all, except some of those engaged in the same business, that pai agents and assistants, who are guilty of the impropriety, that as soon as death occurs in i family who mourn a son, daughter; father, mother or some other near or dear friend, are called on in indecent haste to press the sale a monument or head stone. This is done in the guise of friendship and sympathy to ex tort excessive prices, when if left to themselves the parties would not only purohasi more saitable memorials to mark the graves their departed friends at a much leas expense It must also be conceded that any kind granite or marble monument or head stone can be ordered from sample or design, or any da plicate of whatsoever kind can be procure! from first hands at the lowest possible price; by calling on the undersigned at the Nationa House, Elyria. Those who contemplate erecting monuments the coming year will save money by ordering the same at an early day, to take advaatagi of the present low prices, for Ttith the improvement in business the prices will advance.

All our work is manufactured and finished a the qnarries in Vermont and Massachusetts boxed and shipped to the place of erection, an( set upon a good stone and cement foundation at the place of burial, thus saving extra freigb. reboxtng and handling a second time, all which costs money. The undersigned has been in the marble basiness almost all his life, and with an active experience of over 30 years, understands it in all its details, and can furnish drafts and de signs for any memorial to suit the taste or idea of tha purchaser, and will be pleased to call on any one with a fine line of samples and designs at request by mail or word left at tbj National House, Elyria. Having no agents to pay, and the work coming direct from first hands, it must be evident that we can make it to the interest of anyone wishing to purchase a monument or headstone to call and see us. AU work warranted as contracted, or no sale No charge made for calling or showing do- signs.
