Homicide In WheeIing-The Re-
suit of j jealousy.

About eleven O'Clock Saturday morn
ing a man named Martin A. G. Evans,
printer by trade, but lately in the EN-
ploy of the signal service at Cincinnati,
went to visit Mrs. Dunlap, in that
city, whom he was very desirous of
marrying. He was verv jealous of a
Mr.. Flanagan, Conductor on the
B. & o. r. R., who boarded with Mrs.
Dunlap. Upon entering the house he
went directly to Flannagan's room and
finding him lying in bed drew revol-
Yer. Flanagan jumped up and seized
the weapon, when, in the scuffie, it
went off, the ball injuring several fin
gers of Evans's hand and passing
through Flannagan's hand. Mrs.
Dunlap and her sister rushed into the
room and Evans, upon observing her
tried to carry the weapon toward her,
but Flanagan warded it offevery time
The second shot passed through the
skirt of Mrs. Dunlap's dress and lodged
in the door; the third shot inflicted a
scalp wound on Evans; the fourth shot
lodged in his (EvansO brain, causing
death in a few minutes. Parties cog
infant of the affair relieve Flanagan
of any intention to turn the course of
the weapon towards Evans, his aim
being entirely to secure the weapon, and
failing in that, to prevent any injury
being inflicted until the revolver was
emptied.
At the inquest letters were found on
Evans addressed to his mother, also to
leading physicians of that city, stating
his firm intention of shooting Mrs.
Dunlap and then killing himself. The
jury acquitted Mr.. Flanagan, all the
evidence proving his attempts were
only to save Evans from bloodshed.

4TH OF July IN WHEELING.-On
Friday ruralist from the neighbor-
hood OF Cambridge or thereabouts,
visited Wheeling on business, on the
way down town he stopped at one of the
confectioners and purchased package
of Roman candles, &c., for the pur-
pose of amusing his progeny with fire
works on his intended return the even
ing of the glorious 4th. His fireworks
were carefully deposited in his rear
pocket and short time after he wend-
ed his way to the Grant House, to take
the afternoon Stage; while lettering in
the waiting room, admiring the stacks
of gingerbread, hard boiled eggs and
doughnuts, temptingly displayed in
the window of a confectionery shop op-
posite the street, he carelessly whisk-

cigar that gentleman who was sitting
in chair close by, was smoking
Trouble Immediately ensued. The
first rocket narrowly missed the face
of a native, who was in half comatOse
condition, caused by much extract of
hop, and without waiting to inquire
into particulars, he made the door in
two gigantic leaps; all the occupants of
the Hotel (and there were many) inn
mediately endeavored to follow his ex-

ton not to be distanced, the proprietor
forced himself in the middle of the
throng endeavoring frantically 10 es-

fizzled and popped, giving strength TO
the evident impression that the party
was being bombarded with some sort oil
an Internal machine, and strange as II
may seem, the innocent cause of all
the trouble was the worst frightened
man in the lot Not until fearful holes
were burned in the side of his neither
garments and the eperdemis looked as
tho ugh q mustard plaster had been
pulled off violently, did he discover
the cause of the panic. Order was
finally restored, though the effects to
that mans coat tails were disastrous;

Magner's Great ''Moral Sensation
Show" has come and gone. There
was little flourish of trumpets, and
there ought not to have been any. The
performances of the trained horses are
worthy of notice, and also the feats of
the Bryant brothers on the trapeze.
1t is true that there was a marked abb
sence of the low, cunning and black
guardisms usually INDUCED in at
shows, in the performances themselves,
but many of the actors in their outside
department on the Sabbath and during
their stay here, did not reflect any
credit upon "Meral Sensation" We
think Prof. F. ought either to change
the designation of his show, or else put
some of his men in training, to present
at least fair comparison with his
horses.
