There should be found, accompa nyiugeacb copy of to-day's Daily Gazette, an illustrated four page I tr I I coiors ou me kwu uuwiuo iiajirg, auu vu me inner presenting as pretty an array of advertisements, thirty of them, as artistically set, aud as handsomely environed, as were ever two pages ot I advertisements that have, heretofore been offered to a Ohillicothe public. The illustrated supplement was not I designed to add to the reading col- umas of the paper, but to serve merely as an advertising courier, presented long enough lu advance of uu cui.u wUl uuod ui the advertisers, aud enable them to presant their offerings In time for Christmas purchases. That it may serve this purpose, it was issued to-day, and that its attractiveness, especially In the artistic work on the advertising pages, will commend it to all into whose hands it may fill, no one will for a moment doubt. Tbe advertisers are Cbillicothe's representative business me and it sbould always be bjrne In mlud that the man who is not afraid to tpaud the money to let tbe public know what be has to offer, is generally the man who is not afra spend the money for what he think his patrous desire aud deuiaud. Tnese advertisers Include pretty nearly every branch of bu-iuees, and tbe reader will uot ouly Hud inter- estiug reading matter there, but profitable reading matter as well.

We commend the supplement to every admiriug patron of The Daily Gazette. Tne Cbillicothe dealers have been a little discouraged, as iu fact, have dealers every wnere this year, for tnere has, apparently, not been that diposiilou to prodigal expenditure wrilcti out is ordinarily accustom to see in holiday times, but It is "only the snank the eveuiDg" as yet, and trtd- is apt to pick up wonderfully duriog the week.

Ltndsey Passed Peace fully Away Yesterday at His Home in Kingston. The unwtlcometldinga were received in this city yesterday evening, about four o'clock, that 'Squire T.I. N. Lindsey.oue of Ross county's most highly respected and honored citizeus, had answered the summon! of the silent reaper, hut a half hour previous, at his late home iu Kings ton. A henrt affection, superin duced by the excessive adipose tis sue which surrounded that organ, hrought about dissolution of body and spirit.

Squire Js--y. was born on May 3, 1818, and was in consequence in bis seveiity-t ighth year. During bis life tluie of usefulness, bo bad been Kingston's mayor for several terms, and justice of the peace during a long period of bts life, and he has also held other positions iu the the town's record of officials. He leaves behind, to mourn his loss, three cbildren.Miss Delia Lir.d- sey.of thfa clly. Mm.

Be Careful of Tbe Ice. Skating on the park lake just now is extremely dangerous, and several narrow escapes have been chronicled within the past twenty-four hours. Miss LInnie Elliott and Mr. Gus Watson, while skating last night, struck thin loe, and both came near being drowned before rescued. Ellis Minshall, Clement Barman and Philip Brattin, walked home on cracked ice this morning, and all three had narrow escapes, as tbe water is very when tbe ice was once broken, the edges would not bear tbeir weight when endeavoring to get out.

DON TELL ANYBODY. Here' a Runaway Couple From Pike County Who Were Not Acquainted With the Law. A marriage license entry at the Probate Judue's office with the word ''void" written in red ink across tbe face of it, shows how near a young couple from Waverly cameto.be united, but as it was discovered be fore the license was issued that tbe hiidaJto ha was not a resident of thie county, further proceedings were "topped and the groom was compelled to leave without obtaiulng the papers that would lead to a con summation of his happiness. Tbe prospective groom was Mr. David Armbrust, a young carpenterf who Is known to be industrious ana steady young man, and whose parents are among the respectable Ger man citizens of Waverly.

It will, no doubt, be a surprise to Mr. Armbust's friends to learn that the girl who accompanied bim to Chillicothe is Miss Martha Hibblns, and although it bas been known for some time that tbe feeling between tbe two bas been more than friendly, a marriage was considered out of the question. Mr. ArmbrusC was evidently not very well acquainted with the law governing the issuing of marriage licenses in Ohio, and he no doubt felt bis disappointment keenly when informed by Deputy Probate Judge Bobbins that he could not get a li cense outside of Pike county, unless he crossed the Ohio river into tbe less rigid etate of Kentucky. The intended marrlag had all the indications of an elopement, and if tbe matter bad been arranged with all the secrecy which the parties in tended, every thing would by this time have been over, except tbe sur prise attendiug its disclosure.

Easy to Get Rid of It. A. Kramer Son, the tobacco deal ers, yesterday afternoon gave, away about a thousand pounds of leaf to bacco, which was damaged by fire a few days ago A big crowd collected and took tbe tobaooo away as fast as It was carried out. There is about 2.000 pounds more which is not fit for use. You'll Get Your Money's Worth.

It tr authorities here, that Hegley bad taken the roud leading to this city. Sergeant Hess, who was authorized to capture tbe man, hastened, with all speed, to the river bridsre.

and there waited for Hegley. The maniac, who bad been driving his horse hard, soon came up and wan pLtced uid-ir arr. Hegley was taken to Mayor Waddle's office, and the officer left the demented man in the Major's charge foratbnrt time while he notified Sheriff Warner. wnen negiey was searcned. it was found that he had on bis person a loaded revolver, a pair of knuckles and in the buggy was a loaded shot gnn.

Not a little excitement and dis cussion evening.

was occasioned yesterday by the arrest of Edward Thompson, popularly known by the familiar nickname of "Teddy" Thompson, as but few were able to Rive any reliable information or rea son why the well known carpenter should be incarcerated, for tbe fact that be was an embezzler to a con siderable amount, of the funds of fh PiirnAntAr'a TTnlnn htnrl hnpn LiBOi anarH nMi rmr Lament came for the authorities of th TTnion tn ant A slight suspicion that all was not anh ma ntha atTjira rf lha nro-nn. ization out however, when a secret session of the members of tbe society was held, on Tuesday evening last. Also the fact that Messrs. Johu Rieder, J. P.

Harrington and James Moore, the board of trustees of the a long and closeted consultation with Mayor Waddle, on Thursday evening, would indicate that something crooked bad taken place. Nothing, however, was learned of a definite nature, until yesterday afternoon, when the war rant sworn out before His Honor for Thompson's arrest, was served by Cnief Ogden. Tboinpaon, who has been a highly respected member if tbe carpenters' rganiZition for some time, was oc cupying tbe responsible position of flnaucial secretary, under a bond of $500, up to tbe 6th of November, wben he resigned. The resignation was accepted in open meeting, as tne trustees had, on the 3rd of November, made a hasty survey of toe accounts, and it was found that they were in a very unsystematia anc jambleJ condition. A more thorougt oxainluation was made of tbe book day later, and it was revealed that Thompson's accounts were very bub- 'pIcIousC 1 On the day previous to Thomp- seu resignation, tne ledger ana cash books of tbe Union myster iously disappeared, and they have uot as yet been found, but the board of trustees are of the opinion that rhompson is responsible for their destruction or disappearance.

A thorough search, since that time, has resulted in the discovery that ibe secretary is not only an em bt-zzter, but a robber of the UnionY monies. It" is positively known, that a postal note, amounting to five dollars, from Columbus, was not entered on tbe books, as should have been done. Also innumerable little sums such as the members monthly dues. received no attention nor were receipted and must have been pocketed without even a thougbtof tbe conse quence, nnout tne ledger ana the cash book, the board is unable to affix any definite estimate upon be amount of embezzlement, although it is unhesitatingly stated that the sum is a large one. After Chief Ogden bad taken Thompson to a cell in the city prison- he, in company with Officer Pinto Sergeant Hess and Marshal Stanley, made a thorough examination and uvestigation of the embezzler's home, on West Main street, but were unable to discover the books, or any trace of their whereabouts.

Chief Ogden. however, is of the opinion that the books have not been destroyed, but have been secreted away. Thompson was very sharp and conning in conducting bis unlawful proceedings, aud although this work might have been in progress for several months, the authorities of the Union never suspected that their secretary was dishonest until their examination of tbe account books, a little more than a month ago. While the position which the sec retary held, was not one where any large amount of money came into bia bands at any one time, the duty of collecting dues from tbe members bad been entrusted to him, and as be often accepted the money without giving a receipt in return, it was a comparatively easy matter to make things appear straigbtaud correct on the account book.

I I i Some Peculiar Incidents that Make the Demolition of the "Old Dun Home" a Notable Event. The Daily Gazette has before called attention to the tearing down of the- "old Dun home" on Kast Fourth street, a com fortable and commodious structure which it seems almost a pity to destroy, but which Mr. MoKelt has thought best to get rid of, iu older to give him the house- lot room that be deserves.

This work is now in progress, and while, the undertaking attracts no -little attention, yet hardly as much as it deserves, for this house deserves to be called one of the landmarks of the city. and its demolition should not pass entirely unnoted. The property, so far as its title is concerned, has a rather remarkable history. It was never transferred by deed but twice once by Nathaniel Massie to Richard Douglas and then by Richard Douglas to John Dun. It has never, in the one hundred years elnce it became an "in lot in the town of Chillicothe," bad a mortgage on It.

Tbe bouse, as it originally stood, was built by Richard Douglas, then a young lawyer thirty years of age. and to it be brought from Lancaster, as his bride, Mary Butler, eighty years ago. bhe was a daughter or Judge Butler, one of the pioneers of Columbus, but they were married in Lancaster, at the home of her sister, Mrs. Wm. King.

The newly wedded pair, so the story goes, were accompanied to Chillicothe by a calvacada of tbeir friends, and went to house keeping tb.9 house on Fourth street. Here their children were born, Luke, wt died just thirty years ago, and was also a lawyer, and some seventy-five years ag Albert, who as "Dr. Douglas," is still with us. It is told that very early in life voung Albert began, over the "back fence," to court Ann Sill, wh03e father resided on the adjoining eor- uer, where now stands the Bcnilder block, and there, fifty years ago, they were married The same year, Richard Doinla sold the Fourth street home to John Dun, and moved with his family to tne property on the corner of Paint and Fifth streets, which still re- m.iins iu the family. Mr.

John Dun was a native of Scotland, and moved to Ohio from Philadelphia. Mr. Dan resided In the house with bi family, from tbe time he bought it mull his death. He was, at tbe tune of his death, one of the wealthiest meu and largest land owners in southern As his family increased Mr. Don built a wing to the east side of the old house, and remodeled it consid erably.

After he died his widow resided there untl her death, when the property rassed-to her daughters Mrs. McKell and Miss Dun, who still own it. HE SIGNED TrlE NOTE. But as the Certificate of Scholarship Was Never Used, He Refuses to Pay for It. Mr.

Geo. A. Miller, the proprietor of tbe Chillicothe Business College has brought suit against John A. Dennison, In Squire (Jutright's court, to collect $76.95 on a note, given by Mr. Dennison aa security for the purchase of a certificate of scholar- hip.

Tbe hearing of the case was. set for yesterday, but the defendant, through his attorney, Mr. Seymou: iunulngham, demanded a jury, and lie case was postponed until next Tuesday. The note is drawn up for the amount named and signed by the de fendant, and one of the provisions Is that it shall be paid iu monthly in- itallmentsof $37 50. But if the pay ents are not settled within five avs after they are due, tb9 entire um becomes payable and can br collected.

The plaintiff sues for 37 interest at 8 per cent from utr. 1st, and for $37 50, with interest at 8 Dsr oenS from September The defendant makes tbe plea that he purchased the Scholarship for hie brother, but that he had never used t. and be didn't feel obligated to pay for Bomethlng that be badu't got Luther B.

MANY FINQERS IN THE The Rlg-hts of the Cltlsena Must bt Pro tected, and When a Felony or. Mlsde. mrauor Is Committed, the Law Provides That the Accused Shall be Gives Fair and Impartial Trial The Coast, ble, Justice, Turnkey. Sheriff, Judge, Jury, and Attorney All Cons In For Their Fees, and the Tax-payer Is Assessed. One of the biggest items that tbe couuty tax payers have to bear is the expenses aiising from the arrest.

detention aud trial of those who have committed offeuses against tho btate. Aud while the total tmouut, when footed up, probably seems enormous, tbe officers whose duty it is regulate tbe different actions necessary to comply with me law, are uot more toau tairiy- compensated for their labors. It is impossible to give an itemized statement of every dollar of expense, as tbe records, In many cases, are not fully completed, aud it would take a week to trace the costs Iu each case through tbe files of papers and dif ferent Journals on which tbe separate entries are made. An estimate of the total expenses tbe couuty has had to bear, during tbe criminal pro ceedings recently closed, oau be given and the amount will not be far from aoourate. It must be remembered that, tn in each felony case, where the crim- iii ib euuviuivu auii douc tu tne peuitentiary, the costs are refunded tha at la tha nnnnv ThU sum though, comes out of the appor- portionmentfrom each county, and a certain per cent is of course borne by the tax payers of Ross.

ine nrst action agaiust an accused is tbe filing of the affidavit, wbioh can be done either by the one agaiust whom tbe wrong bas beeprj committed, or any third party. In the former case, the aocused is ar rested by an offleer and if tbe offense is a misdemeanor, be is given a preliminary bearing before ajustice, or the mayor. If be enters a plea of guilty and the affidavit has been filed by his aoouser, the justice bas tne power of providing the punish-meut. But if he pleads guilty on an affidavit filed by a third person, tbe 1 i 4 1. MW UIUQ9 tuaj ug UO UVUU14 UfBI to probate court.

If it is a etate case, a preliminary bearing is held, and if tbe evidence is sufficient, the accused is bound over to the graud jury, and they return en Indictment, or dismiss tbe case, as the testimony warrants. The fees, therefore, are considerable at the very outset, aud as the grand jury were in session nine days during tbe last term, that one Item alone amounted to $216, while tbe witness fees of those examlued was over $600. The fees of tbe county clerk, during the criminal term, amounted to nearly $900, tbe sheriff's fees to uearly $500. while tbe witness fees range from tbe Jones case, to $120.80 in the case, or about $1000 in all. The petit Jury received pay for 21 days at $2 a day amounting to $504.

In a number of cases a special venire was called, which gave tbe extra jurymen 2 per day while the case was in progress. Another item 'of expense is the compensation allowed tbe attorney iu defending Indigent criminals, which is usually $50 in each felony case. Tbe cost also of feeding and caring for prisoners during their confinement, is a great expense, aud the four quarterly reports amount to $1466 45. The sheriff Is allowed fifty cents per day, which, added to tbe turnkey's fees, were, for the first quarter, $157; second quarter, $180; third and up to the first of January, $800.

The Comforter of His Life Was Mrs. Cathe rine Howard, of Plum Street By Mutual Consent, Mr. and Mrs. Cooke Had Agreed to Keep the Ma ter a Secret, But Somehow, Tholr W-ll Laid Plana Miscarried Mr. Cooke Bather Smiled at a Dally jUasette Reporter, and Gave no Information, But His Wife Was More Generous.

There is no secret, however care fully guarded, but that at some time will become tbe property of another. Secrets are much like a cork under water. The natural inclination of both is to rise to tbe surface, and wben tbe restraining force is dispelled, tbey will certainly rise. A matrimonial secret is the most diffi cult of all to conceal, simply because two parties are interested, and one or the other is liable to divulge. Often it is by mere accident that a secret is lost, and It was through a happening of this nature, yesterday afternoon, that a Daily Gazette reporter was acquainted with same rather surprising matrimonial news, wh ich is known to a very select few, and those few have been extremely reticent on tbe subject, without any reason, however, so far as is apparent, for tbe past three months.

Tbe event referred to is tbe wedding of Prosecuting Attorney Paul Cooke and Mrs. Catherine Howard, they having been married in Covington, Kentucky, over three months ago. The rumor of the affair, when it came to the ears of tha reporter, seemed strangely lackiug in truth, although coming from a very relia ble and trustworthy source. Be lieving Mr. Cooke to have more ad miration for his profession, to which he is truly wedded, than for the gen tler sex, The Daily Gazette representative was loth to believe that he, of.

all others, would be conquered rw th God of Love. Yet that ten der affection, or emotion, cornea uot alone to one, but to all, and Mr. Cooke has not been an exception to the rule. Where he has proven himself an exception Is in his power to couceal it, for not even his most intimate friends were aware of bis mentions, or even within the past few days, were cognizaut of the fact hat there "la another acaocy In banbelordom, and one new recruit for the ranks of benedicts. Mr.

Cooke was found, last evening, bard at work iu bis offi by the newsgatherer, but wben the object of tie visit was stated, and a rather pertinent question upon the subject of matrimony was addressed hiui, he smiled in a jovial sort of a way, and at once began to argue, without giv ing the reporter any information whatever. This state of aff tirs was kept up for a half hour or more, and tne reporter tried to gain various strategic points, but meeting with square defeat. Mr. Cooke seemed toenjoy the discomfiture of his caller, who was after an item that be couldn't get fr that source, and when tbe newspaperman was about to depart. Mr.

Cooke kindly requested him to call at any time, and perhaps he might have more to Bay on tbe same subject. It was was very apparent that Mr. Cooke was concealing something merely to excite and worry the newsgatherer, so other tactics were resorted to, and with very much better success. Mrs. Cooke, who resides upon Plum street, with her mother, Mrs.

Barbara Bonn, was called npon about ten minutes afte.r her husband had been seen. She was more gen erous than he, and acknowledged thit the wedding had been consummated in Covington, more than three mouths ago. In explanation of tbe affair being kept a secret, she stated that it was by mutual consent, be tween her husband and herself, and expressed not a little surprise that tbe secret bad escaped. In order to carry out their well laid plans, she was residing at her mother's residence, and he at his father's, Mr. 8.

S. Cooke, of Western Avenue. His mother and sister knew of the plan, and out of respect for tbe wishes of Mr. and Mrs. Cooke, bad maintained a strict silence.

Tbey, too, were much surprisedViat any suspicion whatever of the existing state of affairs had crept forth, and were puzzled to know from what source it came. Few men are better known throughout Ross county than Prose cuting Attorney PhoI Cooke, and none are better liked or more highly esteemed. His popularity has been uoh as to twice elect him the offio which he now fills, and that by an overwhelming majority on eaoh ocoasion. He is ambitious to attaia excellence in his chosen pro of the law, and if his uo tiring energy and the wishes of his many friends have aught to do with it, that end will be accomplished. His bride is a talented young lady.

who has a devotion for her husband that is apparent In her every glance and movement, and their wedded in stinots should be one of blissful en joyment, for such is the wish of all who have tbe honor of their acquaintance, while it is hardly fair to perpetrate a surprise of this kind, and then keep it concealed for so long a time. Yet the offense Is al ready pardoned. will certainly want to attend. .3 or an ires and bnannas. ana cunuj.
