4 Bride Murdered .

4 dispatch from FaYette county,
West Virginia, states that Il most shock
mo outrage and terrible tragedy occur
red in the neighborhood of Mountain
Cave, in that county, few nights since.
Nearly eighteen months ago the people
of the same county were shocked by a
fatal ARRAY, which took place near the
same locality, between two citizens,
named John O'Coleman and Madison
Neal, in which the latter was killed. 1t
is unfortunately my duty now to record
the murder Of a sister Of Madison Neal,
not more than one-half mile from the
spot where her brother was sent, with
out warning to an untimely grave.
1t appears that the lady, who was a
buxom and charming mountain maid,
was woed and won by Mr.. Potter, a
very respectable, industrious and worthy
man. Thursday, the Esd ult., was the
day set apart for the wedding, and the
twain were united in the holy bonds of
wedlock But then the course of true
love does not always run smooth, and 50
it was with the newly married couple.
The marriage was celebrated with all
the usual ceremony and festivity. The
neirbbors ate and drank and danced to
their hearts content, until midnight,
when the welded two were lett to re-
tire. They had scarcely retired when
they were disturbed by the hideous
sounds of charivari that were waited
toward them by breeze 50 still that 1t
scarcely disturbed the floating white
mountain mists. AS the serenading
party neared the residence of the mar
ried pair the discordant sounds of blow
inc horns and the beating OF tln-pan
tambourines were occasionally interrupt
ed by the more shrill, sharp and omlnous
crack of muskets, shotguns and rifles.
Soon the party arrived at the house, and
then the noise of their horrible instru-
ments, coupled with the intermittent
discharges of the firearms, produced a
most alarming effect on the bride and
bridegroom. 1t was found that the SER
enaders numbered eight persons, so dis
gused, however, that they could not be
recognized from any point of observa-
ton within the house. Just at this
iuncture it occurred to the bride, who
| fearing that their intention might be
more hostile than complimentary, to ask
the party in to take some refreshments,
and thus appease any luminosity they
| might entertain. She accordingly adj
vanced to the door accompanied by hel
p-daughter, and opening it stood OF
the threshold with lighted candle II
her hand. Almost simultaneously WIFE

Horace F. Clark, President of the

her appearance there was a volley fired
from four guns at her, the contents of
one striking the door post, glancing and
entering the brides Mrs. Potter's5 ear,
and lodging in the center of the brain.
With a shrek and cry of agony the
unfortunate bride of few hours fell to
the ground, from which she was shortly
afterwards removed by her husband and
daughter to the wedding bed The vii
lains who perpetrated this cowardly and
barborous outrage disappeared in the
darkness, but in more sudden manner
than that in which they came Mrs. Pot
ter, after suffering the most excruciating
agony, expired two days atterthe outrage
occurred. A physician who was called
probed the wound, and gave it as his opin-
ion that Mrs. Potter's death was caused by
hard tow wad discharged from gun in
the hands of the serenading party. 1t IS
gratifying to announce that the parties
have been arrested, and three of them
were committed for trial. The citizens
in the vicinity express the greatest in
dignation at this shocking occurrence,
and universal wish prevails for the
prompt and severe punishment of all
concerned.

The Official Gazette, in an article on
the movements of Russia in Central
Asia, contrasts the difference with
which Great Britain views the growth
of the United States, with the jealousy
she watches that of Russia. The Gaz-
cite says that the British journalists are
beside themselves with anger and con-
cludes its article by advising the British
government to take no more notice
of the progress of Russia than she
does of the United States

Boston, Feb. 5.
In the Massachusetts Senate to-day an
order was adopted with view to legis-
lation to prevent the United States pris-
oners in the county jails from having
different treatment and greater privi-
leges than other prisoners.
Hon. j. M. Wilson, chairman of the
Union Pacific and Credit Mobilier COM
mittee Ne. 2, began the examination of
the books of the Union Pacific company,
in the Office of the treasurer, at four
o'clock this afternoon, having waited all
day for the arrival of the documents
from Washington. II. G.. Crane and B.
F. Ham were present to aid in the re-
view of the matters at issue, but found
that little progress could be made until
another set of books, now in the custody
of the sergeant-at-arms, were in their
possession for comparison, and they
have been telegraphed for. The investi-
CATION will be pursued in other direc-
tons, however, until their arrival; but
the chief object of search, the cost of
the road, cannot be made up before Fri
day night, when the books are expected.

A MARROW ESCAPE The HERALD, at
the time, noted the accident on the st.
Louis and Laclede railroad, on the 10th
Of January, by which four cars were
thrown from the track, down an en-
bankment ten feet high, and distance
of some forty feet from the road bed.
The Geographic list of the injured was
incomplete, and it was not known, un-
ill recently, that Franklin Post of Wal
lngford, was one of the passengers and
was seriously injured. He was in the
rear cara Pullman sleeping coach
and went down with the car, and was
somewhat bruised and, also, had the
lower rib, on the left side "broken
square off" While he was laying in a
disabled condition and unable to move,
the car took fire from Goals, which fell
out OF the overturned stove, and he, and
his fellow passengers, for minutes which
seemed hours, stared lingering and hor-
rible death In the face. Fortunately for
him and all concerned, the train was
provided with a conductor who was

noon, F. G. Hooverappeared as volun-

tiers, of which he professed TO have
knowledge, duplicating Hon. William
Kelley, of Pennsylvania, in the Credit
Mobilier business. The fact was brought
out that Hoover was arrested last year
for a Matchmaking operation, and other
facts were proven showing such no
toriously bad character that all in the
