[ "ere was no foundation for
the rumor. Mr. M. J. Francis,
the Wilsouburg postmaster,
whose philanthropic ideas and
genial nature have made him
'riends wherever he is known, at
once began 1o negotiate a recon
ciliation. Ward supposed thai
his wife had learned to hate him.
She thought him equally as care
less of her. Both were mistaken.
There was one vision that often
cauie before him in his hours of
meditat ion?that of the girl and
her little boy in the "land of the
Dakota's." Never to be erased
from her memory was the part
ing scene in Iowa. The curtain
is soon to rise for another scene.
In a few weeks Cora wi II reach
West Virginia, there will be an
other wedding and J. C. Ward will
clasp to his bosom his first love
and his child. Ward is a gentle
man of pleasant manners, indus
trious and has made for himself
a good reputation among the
people of Wilsonburg. To a
Telegkam reporter Mr. Ward
admitted the truth of the state
ments above mentioned but says
he has no complaint to make
against his wife's relatives and
blames himself largely for
the turn that matters took.
He admits that the affair is de
cidedly romantic and his happi
ness is easily seen in his counten
ance. He feels yery kindly
toward his friend Francis who
was largely instrumental in get
ting matters in their present
shape. This news will be quite
a revelation to many of Mr.
Ward's associates who have often
wondered why he avoided social
alliances/and always treated his
young lady friends with marked
formality.
Long, long tie my miml with such
memories filled ;
Like a heart in which true love him once
been distilled;
You may break, yon may shatter that
heart if you will,
But the image of a girl will cling 'round
itstill.
MAYBERRY HARRISON.

Judge Thos. W. Harrison, of this
city, died at the home of his sis
ter Mrs. Thomas Patton, on Pike
street, on Tuesday. Mr. Harrison

had the misfortune to lose his
eye sight and since then he has

Bent to Baltimore for interment.
He leaves many friends saddened
by his death.

Is Nominated for United
States Senate bv
The
REPUBLICAN
Caucus. Hon. S. B. Elkins Is
named
For The Long Term.
Some Legislative Proceeding's
briefly told.
The Republican joint caucus
held itself entirely aloof from
from the Democratic, muddlo at
Charleston, and pleased every
body by naming Hon. S. B.
Elkins as their choice for U. S.
Senator in preference to C. J.
Kaulkner, and Judge Edwin
Maxwell, of Clarksburg, as their
choice for the position that a
Democratic majority will give to
Johnson N. Camden It was in
deed a fitting recognition of
Judge Maxwell's public services.
The proceedings ;n the Senate
were confined to drafting resolu
tions concerning Senator Kenna
and discussing some legislative
topics.
IN THE HOUSE.
A number of bills were intro
duced and referred, among them
the following:
By Mr. Thomas, to groyide foj
the establishment and "manage*"
ment of the West Virginia
orphans' home.
By Mr. Smith, of Marion, to
amend the law .concerning joint
stock companies; also a bill con
cerning the preservation of useful
animals.
By Mr. Mooman, to prohibit
the sale of cigarettes or opium to
minors under sixteen years of
age.
By Mr. Stapleton. to extend
and regulate the liability of cor
porations and other employers
to make compensation for per
sonal injuries received by em
ployes while in service
Mr. Smith, of Calhoun, offered
a joint resolution providing for
securing as a memento, the chair
and desk of the late Senator
Kenna from the United States
senate chambor, which was
adopted.
FUNNY PROCEEDINGS.
The Democratic side of the
house broke the record for parti
sanship when Mr. Dandridge, of
Jefferson, offered a resolution
providing for an additional page,
to be known as a journal page.
Mr. Dandridge spoke in support
of his resolution, and urged that
the delay of legislation by the
want of a journal page was cost
ing the State at the rate of 1400
or $500 per day.
Judge Maxwell offered an
amendment providing that the
new page should be a Republican,
and to his surprise it was adopted.
Then came the fun. The ques
tion was on the adoption of the
Dandridge resolution as amended,
and it wes rejected by a strict
party vote, Mr. Dandridge him
self opposing it So Mr. Dan
dridge is on record as preferring
to let the State go on losing four
or five hundred dollars per day
rather than see a Republican
little boy given employment.
In the West Virginia Senate on
Tuesday President Wiley called.
Senator Marcura to the chair and
in a very brief speech named Hon.
Johnson N. Camden for the short
term. Senator Farr, o*i behalf
of the Republicans, r.ominated
Hon. Edwin Maxwell, speaking
of him as one who in the past
had distinguished himself in
ry position in which he had
placed, and who would, if
to the United - States
Senate, acquit himself there with
his people and his State,
representing her interests as a
representative of her people.

j Morgan town
The Nashville American, speak
ing of the late Gen.Buttlor. says:
? 'Old Ben Butler is dead! Early
yesterday morning the angel of
death, acting under the Devil's
orders, took him from earth and
landed bin in bell. I? all this
Southern country there are no
tears, no sighs and no regrets.
He lived only too long. We are
glad he has at last been removed
from earth and even pity the
Devil the possession he has
secured. If there is a future of
peace in store for Ben Butler,
after his entrance upon eternity,
then there is no heaven ana the
Bible is a lie. If bell be only as
black as the Good Book describes
it, then there are not the degrees
of punishment in which some
Christians so firmly believe. He
has gone, and from the sentence
which has already been passed
upon him there is no appeal. He
is already so deep down in the
pit of everlasting doom that he
eouldn't get the most powerful
ear trnmpet conceivable to scien
tists and hear the echoes of old
Gabriel's trufapet, or fly a a mill
ion kites and get a message to
St. Peter, who stands guard at
Heaven's gate. In our statute
books many holidays aredecreed.
It was an egregious* oversight
that one on the occasion of the
death of Ben Butler was not
foreordained. The "Beast' is
dead. The cymbals shoul$ beat
and the tin horn should get in its
work."
Such vile and infamous spleen
as the above could only be pro
duced by a man whose every im
pulse was as black and hellish as
the night of -eternal despair."
Butler may have had his faul-S.
but who is this demon in human
form that stands at the tomb of
the ''silent dead" and empties his
load of venom?
The brain of General Butler
was four ounces heavier than
that of Daniel Webster, which
was one of the weightiest o?
record.

Fremont, O.. Jan. 20.?This
city is filled with more disting

entertained. All of thera have
come to pay the last tribute of
respect to the lato ex-President
Hayes, who will be buried this
afternoon, amid much imposing
c e r o m o n les. Prosident elect

his train being an hour and n

Governor McKinley. staff, and
members of the Ohio Legislature,
All the civil officers of the
State.
The day dawned bright and
clear, but cold, tho thermometer
being at zero. Frost and snow
made the limbs of the great oaks
at Spiegel Grove hang low. As
early as 9 o'clock the people be
gan flocking at the Hayes man
sion, and all forenpon thousands
passed in a continual procession
to the hushed mansion to take a
last look at the honored dead.
At 9 o'clock the school children
of tho city, numbering (JOO to 800,
marched in fine order with the
national flag at their head, and
followed by the civic societies of
Fremont, passed in a long pro
cession through tho large dining
room at Spiegel Grove, where the
remains lay in state. The plain
cedar casket in black cloth rested
in the centre of the room, with
no decorations upon it but three
palm branches tied with purple
ribbon, the gift of David Norton,
of Cleveland. The silver plate
bore the inscription, "Ruther
ford B. Hayes, Jan. 16, 1893."
On the breast was the decoration
of tBe Commander-in-Chief of the
Loyal Legion, and on the left
lapel of the coat was the decora
tion of the Army of the Virginia.
A huge American flag was
stretched across the south end
of the room. Over it wore
bunches of white and yellow
roses and wreaths of heliotropes.
THE FUNERAL SERVICES.
The simple services for the
dead began in the Spiegel Grove
mansion at 2.o'clock. In the par
lor adjoining the dining room
were President-elect Cleveland,
the Cabinet members, delega
tions of United States Senators
and Congressmen and officers of
the army and navy. Amid the
falling tears of the mourners the
casket was lifted by the pall
bearers and the sad procession
to Oakwood cemetery was begun.
The body was consigned to ito
last rioting place after the slmplo
ritual of the grand army of the
Republic was read
Kenn* mid Jeiat Jnraft,
I It is said that long before the
noted bandit and outlaw, .loss#
James, had become a notorious
criminal and before John Edward
Kenna, Wost Virginia's late
U. S. Senator had becomo a
Statesman, the famous bandit
was kind to Kenna, who was then
a poor boy in Ohio. The years
went by, ICenna became famous
as the youngest member of tho
U. S. Senate and James became
notoriously famous as amurderer
and robber. About the time live
States wore offering a reward of
*50,000 for the body of Joss*
James, dead or alive, the latter
came to Washington and boldly
sent in his card to the Wost Vir
ginia Senator. Kenna received
him kindly, and James dined at
the National Hotel with Kenna.
and was with him off aud on for
seveial days until he took a traia
and left Washington to go to tho
final fate thatawaited him. Kenna
was spoken to about tho matter,
the possible peril and injury to
him for having thus treated
James and havinc been with him.
Ho said: "Oh, well, I know him
when I had not a shirt to my
back, and he was kind to me
then." That was in the days be
fore James had become a famous
outlaw, and Kenna under any
circumstances could not foraot ?
kindness or a friendly act.

Ho was a widower, aud had
married a widow with several
children. His family life was
very troublesome. Last night
while the family was at church
he and his wife quarrelled.
He took a dull knife, stabbed
her sevoral times and cut her
throat, killing her. He then went
to his daughter'* house and pro
cured some powder and told her
what ha had done.
He then returned, loaded his
musket and shot himself.
