ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORT.
TO THE DAILY LNTELLIGENCER
Statement Of the Murderer and
nliA Win

New York, January 3l.-AIrs. Fuchs
wife OF the murderer, tells the following
story: Simmons came to the house about
0 o'clock Thursday evening, bringing u
doll for our little girl. There was brandy
and beer in the house, and after drinking
the beer Fuchs went ont and got three
pints more. All Of us drank the beer.
Simmons said that he was ashamed to 60
home drunk, so I said he might stay and
sleep with Fuchs and l would sleep with
Ellen, we had only two rooms and Sim
mons agreed to this. My husband
says slept on the floor and was unfaith-
full, but I was so drunk that know moth
ing OF ii. My husband and child put nc
to bed and | fell on the tloor=nnd cut my
face. When I.got up in the morning |
saw the body on the floor OF the kitchen,
and Fuchs taking it by the heels dragged
il into the bedroom to cut it up. When
saw it ! called out, 1--WE will be hung"
did not sec the body cut up. As the
woman told this she wept bitterly. An.
drew Fuchs or Victor Krets says lie work
ed for three years with Simmons; but once
had difficulty with him. lie said Sim
mons was in the habit OF visiting his wife
when he was at work, and that about six
months ago he had detected him in the
crime. He says on Thursday they both
drank beer and he went ont to buy more
beer, and when he returned found his wife
violating her marriage vow. Calling his
stepchild, Ellen, rs witness Of her
mothers crime, he seized n hatchet which
was there and struck Simmons dead with
one blow. The next morning he intend.
ed to give himself up, but his wife per-
suaded him not to do so. On Friday he
took the body into the bedroom and cut
itup, packing the pieces away in different
places until he could get rid Of them.

That s3s, 900 Again.

The Register Of yesterday, notwithstand-
ing all that has been said in the way OF
demands for m investigation OF the Charge
thata deficit Of SSS,OOO ever took place
under Republican rule in West Virginia,
comes out and says that "in 1868, at the
very beginning OF the States existence,
there was n deialcation in the Treasury
oiS3SOOO."
Now there has been enoughsa in the
way Of mere assertion on this snbjcct,
and We do not propose to fool away any
more time or space in that way. We
have already challenged the Auditor or
his Chief Clerk, to come forward over
their own signatures and say that at any
time sine West Va. became State in the
Union there has been dcfalcation,
under Republican rule, of $Ss,QOO.
We now make the following challenge
to the Wheeling Register viz: that
the proprietors Of that paper shall
name an expert in accounts, and we will
name another, and these two shall chose a
hlrd' and the three thus chosen shall in
Nestlg0te whether at any time under Re-
publican rule in West Virginia has there
ever occurred a deficit OF s3S,OOO-in her
State Treasury. The finding of this com.
ml'tee OF experts, whatever it may be,
shall be published prominently at the
head Of the editorial columns in each pa
per Tor one week in their daily and week.
ly editions.
Now this is practical method OF
bringing an irresponsible charge to
point. II the Register believes what it
pFOiesscs to believe, it has now fair and
square opportunity to place the proof in
an authoritative form before the public
refuses to improve this opportunity,
the ;;public will know just what weight
I0put upon repetition Of this charge
hereafter. We challenge that paper to
the test proposed.

ST. Louis, January 3l.-According to
previous announcement the Court recon
vened at 10 o'clock, Judge Treat on the
bench, to hear GAat the jury in the Mckee
case might have to present. A quarter
Of an hour later the jury came in with tho
following verdict: eve, the jury, find
the defendant guilty" The counsel for
the defense asked that the jury be pollcd
which was done, and all the jurors re
sponded aiEirmatively. Judge Treat thcr
stated in relation to the bonds, that he
would prefer that that matter should be
decided by Judge Dillon. II was tller
agreed TINT the defendant should be callet
tomorrow morning upon the opening o.
the court, and the amount Of bonds deter
mined by the tnll bench.
The defendant left the courtroom
with his counsel and numerous sympa
thizing friends. The verdict was uncx
pectcd, almost everybody anticipating z
disagreement or acquittal.

From the New York Bulletin ot Saturlsy.I
There is probably no cheaper article OF
food at present offering than eggs. For
about two weeks past, the Wholesale mar
kot has been gradually shrinking, and to-
day has become completely demoralized,
with holders offering freely from the best
lots ut 2Oc, few even as low as lSc per
dozen, and indications that no consider
able quantity could be sold above l5c per
dozen. This is the result Of al immense
accumulation OF stock and scarcely
any demand, all classes Of buyers
appearing to have n wholesome dread OF
taking hold. The remarkably open wealth
or this winter has caused the liens 10 lay
with great freedom, and receipts have
come upon the market in large quantities
from both the West and the South. At
the above rates the retailers, who always
sell close on this class Of goods, can readily
give twelve eggs or even more for \ quar-
Ter, and 1t will be somewhat singular
circumstance il the consumption is not
greatly stimulated. Certain choice selec-
tions are worth little more money, but
our figures cover such stock as the bulk
Of the trade use. The decline on fresh has
entirely killed the sale OF lined eggs,
which at present have no fixed market
value. n.-l,. ..nr.s

Burdett's Removal.

1t seems by the Register OF Yesterday
morning that the late Treasurer OF West
Va. is moi individually responsible ior Inc
offences for which he has just been re-
moved from Office. lie was simply the
victim to a mistaken idea that had been
deeply impressed on his otherwise moral
nature by the Republican party, to the
effect that "whcn an individual is pro-
mo,ed 10 public position the office be-
long. to the incumbent and not to the
people whose servant els" Had il not
been for the wide spread dissemination
Of this dangerous hcrescy by the Repnb.
lican party Mr.. Burdett would have re-
,ained his primitive virtue and filled out
bis term Of office. Like poor old
Adam, he was tempted by looking
upon the example Of somebody else
eating the forbidden fruit, and he
poor soul, innocently and unsophisticat-
edly thought that he too might us well
take few bites. That was all he did.
This is u nice plea to put in at the last
end of the trial, after having vainly rn-
deayored heretofore 10 show to the LegiS-
lature and the public that the late Treas.
urer was really not guilty OF any offence.
Now il seems that he did, after all, COM
init an offence, and that for this he has
been brought to judgment by means OF
the grand old Democratic idea that u
public official is merely trustee exercis.
ing trust in the interest OF the commons"
This is all very pretty, but the truth OF
history compelS us to say the "grand
old Democratic idea" alluded to had
so little weight with Democratic House
Of Commons in the last Legislature that
had it not been for the Republican mem-
bcrs of that House the. late Treasurer
would never have been brought to Judge
ment. It was their votes that filed the
breach created by the Democratic major
ity in the House,
Therefore it i'll becomes the Regi&ter to
take any credit TO itself individually, or
to the Democratic party, for what has oc.
CURED, and people who remember its
course only few weeks ago will not fail
to contrast it with its present glorilica-
ton over the fact that 20 of the 81 mem
bers OF the Senate are Democrats. The
public are not so blind that they have not
noticed that so far as the Democratic press
Of West Virginia is concerned its intlu.
ence was not with the impeachment move
