Monday'< 'intelligencer').]
Strong drink was the cause of
a murder at Benwood late Satur
day night, that caused a sensa
tion in that town.
In the lower portion of the
town is located a row of brick
residences, which has long been
known as the "market house."
or btick row. Some ton or flf
teon families usually reside thoro.
In the apartments second be
low theuppor corner. Mrs. Tibbs
her son. George Tibbs, and Mr.
and Mrs. Sam McCloud reside.
Mrs. McOloud is the daughter of
Mrs. Tibbs. The whole fami
ly lived in two rooms, one at the
rear on t'ue first floor and a sleep
ing apartment on the upper floor.
Both Charles Tibbs, who is a
young man of about twenty or
twenty-one years, and McCloud,
who is some older, work at the
Wheeling steel works in lower
Benwood. For some time there
has been bad blood between Mc
Cloud and his brother-in law,
caused as some people declare by
McCloud's ill treatment of his
wife, and Tibbs haa said that if
he ever hit his sister he would
kill him.
Saturday evening the entire
party spent several hours at
Allbrlglit's, a neighbor's house,
indulging in drink and revelry.
When the party left for home all
wore under the inlluenco of liquor.
Charles Tibbs had left Allbright
place intending to go to Bellaire
and purchase a suit; but whon
tip town he had encountered some
boon companions and went to a
saloon where he drank beer for
some time and then started for
the brick row in a drunkon con
dition. In the meantime, Mrs.
Tibbs, Mrs. McCloud and Sam
McCloud bad reached thuir <iomi
pile, all under the influence of
drink, and in a quarrelsome
mood. It was not long before
McCloud and the two women be
came involved in a quarrel,
whereupon Mrs. McCloud left
the honse and went to a neigh
bor's. McCloud went out, secured
a big coupling pin aud returned
with the intention of hurting
some one. At this juncturo
Charles Tibbs returned from up
town. McCloud and Tibbs be
came involved in a quarrel, and
the former struck Tibbs with the
coupling pin on the forehead.
Tibbs clinched with his assailant
and secured the pin and it is
evident that it was then that the
murder was committed, the
coupling pin being the instrument
and Tibbs the murderer. It is
also probable from the evidence
that Mrs. Tibbs took a hand in
.the matter and helped her son
kill McCloud.
Tibbs did uot seem to realize
the enormity of the crime he had
committed, as ho went up town
to get Marshal Cooke to arrest
McCloud. In the meantime
neighbors who had been aroused
came in and found McCloud lying
at the foot of the stairs in t.he
hallway, with two wounds on the
top of his head and one on tho
nose. At this time, nearly mid
night, he was still breathing, but
life soon became extinct.
Tibbs while on his way up
town met Gocke, aud told him
McCloud had been lighting and
he wanted him to be arrested.
At tho same time he told him
McCloud had assaulted him with
a coupling pin, but he had taken
it from him and "smashed him."
Accompanied by Constable
Sprout, the party proceeded to
the brick row, where it was
found several were in the Tibbs
McCloud apartments.- and Mc
Cloud lying on tho floor, dead.
The marshall at once placed Tibbs
under arrest, and soon afterward
returned and the two officers took
Mrs. Tibbs and Mrs. McCloud to
jail.

Educational Mean.
The Chicago Globe takes issue
with Mrs. Charles Henrotin.when
she says that "the Anglo-Saxon
idea of education has been a
stunting of the growth of the in
dividual." Our cotemporary
points to our own people as an
example of what can be achieved
under this system of education,
and says:
It is about time our would be
teachers recognized that Amer
ican education means something
more than the veneer of manners
and the gloss of words; mare
than the babble of tongues and
the chatter of isms, ologies and
ologists. It means the advance
ment of justice, liberty and
knowledge, and, above ail. the
emancipation of American men
and women from the worship of
foreignism.
Anglo-Saxon education' never
stuntod a Shakspeare. a Milton
or a Tennyson; a Bucon, a Locke
or a Darwin, a Cromwell, a
Chatham or a Gladstone; a Frank
lin, a Washington or a Lincoln.
Angh> Saxon education is another
name for m; nhood, progress and
freedom. To it belong time's
noblest works in literature,
philosophy and government.
And yet in Illinois and in other
States a system of education is
completely crushed. The State
takes charge of the whole busi
ness and its arbitrary rules pro
duce generations of people with
the same ideas, the same virtues
and vices, and the same aspira
tions in life. There will be no
Miltons, Tennysons, Lockes,
Bacons, Darwins, Cromwells
Chathams, Gladstones, Franklins
and Lincoins among the people
ground out of the educational
mill.
An educational system that
smashes individuality is hope
lessly in the wrong, and this is
precisely what is the matter with
our modern system. Mrs. Hen
rotin is more than half right, and
the Chicago paper is more than
half wrong.?Ex.

house, in a recent resolution, de
clares that woman suffrage has
' 'largely aided in banishing crime,
pauperism and vice from the
btate; that it has secured peace
ful and ojrderly elections, good!
government, and a remarkable
degree of civilization and public
order, and we point with pride
to the facts that after nearly
twenty-flve years of woman
suffrage not onecounty in vVyom
ing has a poorhouse; that our
jails are almost empty, and crime,
except that committed by strang
ers in the State, almost unknown,
and as a result of experience we
urge every civilized community
on earth to enfranchise its women
without delay."

Stamping Out Cholera.
Dr. I. Telyafus. of Tiftis, Rus
sia. has recently published a
brochure embodying his views
as to the most efficient means of
strangling cholera in its Indian
home, and thus freeing Europe
and America from the constant
menace of its periodical excur
sions. The habitat of the cholera
bacillus is. he says, the delta of
the Ganges, a low-lying area of
some 7,500 square miles, inter
sected by many mouths of the
Ganges and Brahmapootra Riv
ers. The soil of.the delta is very
moist, and contains the putrefy
ing remains of many forms of
animal and plant life. Cholera
lias raged here endemically from
time immemorial, and every now
and then, after usually heavy
raius, or from other ill-under
stood causes, it emerges thence
and invades one or more of the
neighboring province^ or spreads
as a pandemic over th
world. There have be
such general invasions,
are now passing thrOu
fifth. Mr,
Proust, in his work on by
regards as Utopian attftftt
to exterminate ?*
choleri in India, but,, with
pessimissic view Dr. Tel;
takes exception. He says
the plague has been stamped
in the Nile delta, and he "u:
that similar or more e:
measures would be equally e
tual on the banks of the G
Formerly the fellaheen'of
interred their dead on the
ersof the River Nile, and
bodies were then washed out iijto
the stream during the annual
overtlow of the river, and were
carried down to spread disease
throughout the delta. Since an
end has been put to this custom,
the plague 110 longer harasses
the country.
It would doubtless be difficult,
if not impossible, to restrain the
natives of India, inhabiting the
region of the Ganges, from cast-,
ing their dead into the waters
of the sacred streams; but the'.
author thinks this difficulty
might be obviated by compelling
the people to cremate their dead
and then throw the ashes on the
bosom of the river. He would
also erdeavor to improve the
sanitary condition of the delta
by planting extensive eucalyptus
groves, as has been done on a
large scale in Algiers. In the
latter country there were a com
paratively few years ago, large
areas of almost uninhabitable
marshes which are now settled
and extensively cultivated by a
numerous and industrious popu
lation. The change has been ef
fected by drainage and the plant
ing of eucalyptus trees. The
same measures, the author be
lieves, would result in transform
ing the delta of the Ganges, into
a salubrious and rich agricultuill
section. The expense of sum
work would, of course, be enor
mous, but this would no doulit
be covered to a great extent it
a vastly increased production a 1
would be more than compensat I
for by the saving of thousan '
valuable lives, it;;
alone, every year.

SENTENCED TO MATRIMONY.
Recently in a Western State a
young man and a young woman
were contesting possession of a
piece of property, the one claim
ing under an old lease,the other
under an old will.
"It strikes me. said the Justice
that there is a pleasant and easy
way to terminate this law suit.
The plaintiff seems to be a res
pectable young man. and this is a
very nice young woman. They
can both get married and live up
on the farm. If they goon with
the law proceedings the propertr
will all be fritted away among
the lawyers, who, I am sure, are
not ungallant enough to wish the
marriage not to come off."
The lady blushed and the young
man stammered that they "liked
each other a little bit," so a ver
dict was rendered for the plain
tiff on the condition of his prom
ise to marry the defendant with
in two months?a stay of execu
tion being put to the verdict un
til the marriage ceremony should
be completed.
This is about the first couple
ever sentenced to matrimony in a
court of law.?Ex.
