Double Murder In West Virginia.

A special from Huntington, w. Va,
to the Enquirer dated the 22d says: :
"For some days past there has been
considerable excitement at BarbOurs-
vile, in this county. because of the un-
accountable disappearance OF, Charles
+. MealingS, foul play being sus-
pected in connection herewith. Search
was instituted TO find him, dead or
alive, and this afternoon his body was
! found buried in his stable. A known
intimacy between one Edmund VIII
liams and Madam Mea!ings, together
with some strange movements during
the last few days on their part, led to
their arrest for murder. An official
examination is now being held by the
authorities.
Great excitement prevailed which
later dispatch says, eliminated III the
hanging of Edmund Williams, the
paramour of Mrs. Mealings. Williams
and the woman were lodged in Jail.
Yesterday about Ii O'Clock p. m,
crowd of citizens, ummasked, broke
down the doors of the Jail, and taking
the murderers out announced their
purpose 30 execute speedy Justice mp
on them. AT the same time they were
given liberty to make any statement
OF the murder they might think prop
er. Thereupon the woman fully con-
fessed the ciiIise and circumstances OF
her crime. Williams was I hen brought
into her presence and corroboratcd
Ie statement. He stated that on
Wednesday night last he entered the
house of Mealings, who was then in
bed asleep, and struck him twice OH
the head with 2 bludgeOn, and then
cut his throat. The woman, he said,
however, was the main instigatOr OF
the murder, and after her husband was
killed. she assisted Williams in bury
ing him over in the stable.
After the wrctches had made con.
fession of their crime the mob bound
them aud marched them out TO the
edge of town. Here selecting suita-
bic tree, they threw rope over limb,
and, adjusting Il moose around Will
liams' neck, swung him oil into eterni
ty, while the woman stood by scream
ing and imploring that he might be
spared. 1t was at first proposed by
the Committee TO hang the woman al
so, but upon more mature considera-
ton that purpose was abandoned sole
Iy because OF her sex.

refused to be bound by them and stated that it did
not consider itself bound TO continue denOmInatIonal

the right of the brotherhood OF churches toward
church lying under the cloud Of scandal, and the
denial of the right of the brotherhood of
churches to take measures to remove that scandal
was declared to endanger the purity and
very existence Of the Congregational Communion.
These resolutions were only adopted after spirited
