THE pTkECODNTY DEMOCRAT" THURSDAY JUNE6, 1889. ITEMS OF INTEREST. Snow foil in some parts of this State last week, even as lar south as the Ohio river. Presiding Elder Ward preached a most interesting sermon at the M. E. church last Sunday cveniug. That scene describe d elsewhere iu this paper was another of Pennsylvania’s terrible disasters. That state is a sufferer. The election of Couutv Superintendent went off quietly last Monday. M. It. Thomas received seven votes and was declared elected. Emory Harrell got oue vote aud W. B. Pirkle one. Auy of our readers wanting positions right off on salary and expenses paid, with an old aud reliable firm, should refer at once to il'ie advertise* ment iu auothcr column headed ’‘A chance to make money.” 4 Joe Snow, aged 15 years, and Ohloe Boland. aged 13, are probably tln^ youngest couple ever joined in wedlock in Illinois. They were married on the 5th of April iu Menard county, the bride attired in a short dress. ^ ''f An infant child of Mr. aud Mrs. .hid. Nicely diet! at this place Saturday night ami was buried Sunday. It was their only child, which makes the grief-stricken parents feci llicir trouble the mote keenly. i —, ___ ^ 'Mrs. Clarion Lynch died at her home Hi this place on the 29th nit., aud was burled at Walnut Hills Cemetery on the 30th. She died of consumption. A hiisbandaml fanuly of young children are left to mourn her loss. - „ At Evansville Monday a hundred and fifty-seven ballots were taken for County Superintendent, and then the >vole stood four to four, a tie. The Auditor wa> m Brpiiblicau ; but lie j cast his vote tv Augeknielr. who is a Democrat. riSngJs Aii excHlngffsays an Albion lady recently set a pot of cream iu iispruat near the house, so that it might kecjH cool. During the night a frog fell into the cream pot, uud iu his struggle ' to get out actually churned the cream,! so that when the ladv visited the pot the next morning she found the frog, sitting on a ball of. butter, washing; his feet in the buttermilk. Carden aud Forest quotes tins situplcmethod of testing the quality of a pear: Write a name with |>on and ink upon the dry side of the fruit. 1f; the ink is quickly absorbed, leaving clear, sl^arp line*, the quality of the iruit is good. If tlie skin does not absorb the ink quickly, aud the lines are blotted, the quality is inferior. An exchange says: People take the papers for the news they convey aud they like to read ot scrai»cs tula- j fortunes and mishaps which other mortals fall into, but when they get into trouble themselves and the paper makes mention of the fact they become exceedingly warm under the collar. This is truly a tunny world. A. J. West’s mother, an aged ladx^j

of MaflUou township, died at her home Monday evening, ami was bui-f led at the Poplar Grove Ccuictery Tuesday. We could not learn the j cause of her death, but suppose superautiatiou took her to her long resting place. t?he w as a good Christian woman, the mother of a large familr, aud one of the pioneers of this State. Full particulars next week. v ■ ■ ..-■■■ Miss Hose Chamberlain, the niue-teen-year-old daughtei of George Chamherlaiu, of three miles east of this place, died at her father’s resl- j deuce last Thru-day, of Consumption. She was burled Saturday, at Monroe City, Kuox County, in the Family Cemetery, near where her people formerly resided. Miss Chamberlain was a patient sufferer who bore her trials for months with courage and resignation. School teachers of Iudiaua should know that for each teachers’ institute held after March 2,1889, they are entitled to full pay-^-a regular day’s wages—provided they attended such institute during the eutirc time it was iu session and did the work assigued them by the township principal. The new act was approved March 2,1889, aud contained an emergency clause. Mr. Geeting, the Deputy State Superintendent, says there cau be no doubt but that such teachers arc eutitled to their par and should have it. lie who advertises from year to year, draws many customers from far aud near. His 6alcs are larged he is prosperous and wise, for the reason that tie never fails to advertise. Ilis goods are new, his stock complete amt he is the busiest mau you chance to meet. He is known at home and far around, and his store is tho place where the bargains are fouud. The number of his tricuds you canuot tell; for he is' the man that has goods to sell. His fortune is made, for lie has learned to think and liberally use the printers’ ink.—Ex. The Mine Inspector aud Assistant entered upon their duty the first inst. They have visited several mines in this vicinity, and purpose going to Vanderbarg and Warrick conuties this week. Inspector Tislow requests all parties working coal mines or rock quarries to bring specimens oi coal, rock, ore or fire clay to T. J. Reed's office in Petersburg, and any persou wishing any ore analyzed cau have the same done free of charge. They are well qualified for tkeir duties, and purpose developing our resources with the help of the citizens of the county.'

The last Statu Geutfral Assembly passed a law making it a misdemeanor for any person, by himself, his servant or agent or as the servant or agent of auy other person, to sell, exchange, deliver, or have in his custody or possession with intent to sell or exchange or expose or offer lor sale or exchange any adulterated vinegar, or label, brand or sell as cider vinegar any vinegar not the legitimate product of pure apple jaice, may be fined for each offense not less than #10 uor more than #100—Ex. Mr. A. D. Scott, of Elnora, Ind., and Miss Clara McGowen, of this place, were uuited in marriage at the M. E. Parsouage yesterday morning, just in time to take the eleven o’clock train for their future home at Elnora. Mr. Scott is a telegrapher, aud an intelligent, warm-hearted, industrious young mau. Miss McGowcu is one of Petersburg’s nicest young ladies, for whom there are no words'of praise too flatteriug — industrious, economical, aud willing to share life's severest burdens toshare sunshine and shower. She goes hence with our blessings. Mr, Seott has indeed gained a good womau's affections. The following from an exchange explains why marriage is a success: “Not long since three men were cugaged in discussing tiic absorbing ■luestiou, Ts marriage a failure?" When one of the members who was a farmer, said: ‘Why, there's toy wife gets up in the morning, milks six cows, gets breakfast, starts four children to school, looks after the. other three, feeds the liens, likewise the hogs, skims tcii crocks of milk, washes the clothes, gets dinner, aud does all the sowing and patching and many other tilings too numerous to mention. Do you thing 1 could hire anybody else to do it for what she gets? Not much! Marriage, sir, is a success, sir, a great success!” An exchange says: •‘There was an old preacher who told some boys of the Bible lesson lie was going to read in the morning. The boys finding the place glued together the connecting pages. The next morning lie read at the bottom of one page: ‘When Noah was one hundred and twenty years old he took unto himself a wife who was' (then turning the page) T40 dibits long. 40 cubits wide, built of gopher wood, and covered with pitch | inside and out.' lie was naturally j puzzled at this, lie read it again, verified if. and then said : ‘M v friends, J this is the first time 1 ever met this in the Bible, but I accept it as an evi-U-nre of the assertion that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.’” The style went from hounds to terriers, from terriers to poodles, from •oodles to pugs, and uoW eats arc in ashion. They are capp'd in hand-•iiuiely-decorated baskets, much like hose in which babies ate first deposit'd. White cats must have blue rimming, black cats go with red, and fiavea's with soft shades of a neural tint. It is -aid that Queen Vicory set the fashion by carrying her :als with her from Windsor to Oslo rue. If it cuds In taking all the, •at< out of town for even six weeks, in fortnight, the rage is to be en- j ;ou raged. Prevalent insomnia is j argely due to the prevalence of fel-1 lies in city backyards. It will prohibit kill them to make pets of them, I ivhich Is every way desirable.—Ex.

The Commencement Exercises ofi llie Petersburg High School at the tpera House last Holiday evening, j were pronounced a success by the < arge audience which was in alien-1 lance. The exercises consisted ot inthems, solos aud quartets lu addi-! lion to the regular programme usual-1 y carried out on such occasions. I Miss Kffic Posey and Miss Ktnina Hil- ; mail were the only graduates tor this ] iear. Miss Posey had the salutatory nid Miss Hiliiiau the valedictory. I'lie former took for her theme, “Home Was Not Built in a Daythe i alter, "op|K>ituidties.'’ Both did ex- j •ellently well, and it is not saying too much to remark that they exhibited I •upetior talent. Walter Burger. Eva j Hicks, Nellie Lingo, Bertha Frauk, Mary Crouch, Faunie Carter and I Willie Crow were on the programme, j lud without exception showed Ut*miclves to have been wcH instructed. | Judging from the work altogether! >ue must think the school good atul | ihc pupils smart, industrious and ensrgetic. The schools will now be dosed till about the 9th of September. PURELY PERSONAL. Mrs. Alma Welton, of Alford, has tiecn seriously 111 for several weeks. A. il.

AX 08EMCTED TRAGEDY, On last Thursday eveuiug as the day wa closing with one or those dark eveuiugs pe : cullar to this climate iu its rainest seasoi when a gloominess naturally possesses th feelings of every one, there culminated i i tragedy Tor sometime expected by almos alt who were acquainted with the circum stances which lead to the blighting of th hitherto good^uatue of a wife and mother the breaking up of a family circle, the los of a young man’s life, aud the putting ti punishment those sensibilities which an quickest wbeu touched by the tongue o scandal or invaded by the ptuuderer of lovi and affection, and die wbeu their enem; enters the holy sanctum of families whosi peace (aud pros|>erHy invite harmony ant are forced to entertain discord. Almost everyone in bearing of this towi knows about tbe difficulties which have ex isted for some mouths between B. B. Barkei and wife,-whose borne wasiu the couutry i lew miles west of this place. We qanno say whether It is true or false, as no evi ; deuce has been elicited by anyone. Sever thelesa, reports weut abroad that Mrs. Bar ker was caught lu an awkward prwitiot with one G rant Beck, a farm hand recent!; in the employ of William Doty. The repor reached the hushaud’s ears some two oi three months ago, and a separation sooi took place, Mrs. Barker moving in with hei mother, Mrs. S. J. Asb, a mile or rnori south of town. Soon after Barker Bled a sui iu the Tike Circuit Court for divorce on tlx plea of marriage infidelity. Barker was in the law practice at this place, and after tlx difficulty, instead of going to his home a: formerly, he took hoard at the Lingo Hotel but quit office work almost altogether ant seemed to be brooding over his troubles. It the mean (time tne tougue of scandal an< gossip was at .work, and matters grev worse. Husband and wife were separati (either properly or improperly as only fut ure developments cun show) and betweei them was a young uiau ouly nineteen yean old, though iu other respects a man, stou and able bodied. Keport reached Barker’i ears that Beck had threatened to take hii life the first time they met—that one of then had to die. For this Barker had evident!; prepared, and on Thursday evening last, a about 7 o'clock, .they found themselves ii close quarters at the i>ostoffiee door. Bar Ker n as either coming out of the door oi standing in it wbeu Beck happened to pass at a moment when a colored >uau chancel to walk h 'toeent h-rn l'next eetedly, (he cause the la-rsous present did not realizi that deadly enemies had met) the shootiui commenced. Different opinions are expressed about tbe first actions of the men it is known, however, that Barker fired tlx only shots that were fired; and, iu firing tlx first shot, was compelled to shoot very dost to the colored man who screamed out, “Jesus Christ:" and made good his escape knocking off Barker's hat aud the pistol ou of his hand before a second shot was fired some claim that the first shot missed Beek others claim that it took effect iu his head and that he ran a few steps ami fell in lleet A Limp's hardware store doorway, aud tha1 Barker shot him three times more—twice it the- breast and oisee- in the shoulder. A by stauder claims that Be-e-k, ou passing Bar ker, reached into his pocket as if for a weapon, aud looked a sitie look at Barker, wbc quickly drew a pistol. ad fired. The pistol used by Barker was a five-shooter .Smith A Weston, thirty-six autibre. On Beck's person Was found a 1-shot derriuger. The unfortunate young man was earriet! to Mathew Beck’s residence on lower Walnut street, where be died about 11-10 o'clock, living about four hours after betug shot. He was buried at Walnut Hills Cemetery Saturday morning. Rev. l.l. King, tha M. E. church officiating. Au affidavit was filwd against Barker far manslaughter aud be was placed uuder hail of five thousand dollars. Tlx- ease will come tip for hearing al the June term of court which begins next Monday at this place. From first to last the affair is one to be deeply regretted. Most of the citizens express no opinion, because they do not know the circumstances In full. Tnose whom we have heard express themselves desire in this, as people should in all cases, that the “truth, the whole truth, aud nothing but the truth" will come to light, and that justice may he had by all concerned in this tragedy.

Decoration Day. Decoration Day was not observed hi at extensive a maimer as had been designed by the veterans, owing to the inclement weather. The O. A. It. Post had made all preparations for a proper observance of tin day, but even the old voterj^m cannot sue cessfullv oppose the weathernerk. Without the aid ol the ladies, who usually provide aud arrange the flowers, decorating th< graves of our fallen heroes is a very small affair. The coulinual (tattering of the colt! rain kept the ladies iu doors, aud without them and their flowers, the pleasant dutr ol decorating the graves had to be neglected At about 4 o'clock in the morning the peo pie were aroused from their slumber by tin tiring of a cannon, and uothing more couM be done until about l o’clock in the after noon, when a hundred or more gentlemac —mostly old veterans—headed by drum) and life, inai ebed to the Opera Mouse, w hen they listeued to patriotic speeches by tb* children, representing the States and Ter ritories, and to Rev, M. M. C. Hoc be, wh< delivered a patriotic and soul-stirrriip oration, after which they retired t< their horn »s, feeling that they had done al that was possible in honor of their fallet comrade. He Stood on the Bridge. An “urchin poet” produces the fol lowing rerv clever Tersion ot "Th< Bridge.” I stood on the bridge at midnight as drunk as a son of a gun; tvrr moons rose over the city, when there ought to have been hut one. I could see the bright reflection In the watei under me, aud I experienced a feel Ing of wonder aud curiosity. If only oue had been there I would not havt iu doubt, but what two moons wen ’doing could not well make out. Tin tide was slowly ebbiug; 1 could heal the waters roll, as I stood in tht wavering shadows to hide from tin night patrol. How often, O! how often! in the days ot auld lang svue have I crossed the bridge at midnigh and got left every time. But to-nigh I was ho't aud restless, aud m.v mim was full of care, and the walk that lay before me was more thau I conl< bear. I had no latch key with ate aud locked would be the door, aud would have to sit in the door-way, a often I’d done before. I’d have to si in the doorway in agony and fear, til I a voice said from the wiudow: ”Di< i lodge keep late, tnv dear ?” So to j night I stood there dreaming am | watched the restless tide, till a «*] I came up with a wagon and invitee me to ride. Our readers will be pleased \p lean that James Bowman is still improv ing in health, and deapite the fate will recover.
