In discussing the prevalence OF mob law
in West Virginia, the Huntington Com
mercial, while it don't defend, deprecates
the necessity which calls quiet and repu-
table citizens from their homes to do that
which is and should be the sole rrcroga-
tive Of the Courts, provided the Courts
did their sworn duty, In which they are
sadly deficient. 1t gives this as the cause
for the aroused~publlc sentiment, which
demands the execution of murlerers in the
4peediest way, and says: Until there is
complete publication Of our whole Ju-
diciNl system, and the laws faithfully ex-
ccuted, we need not expect a state OF
things other than we have experienced
and which We, with all good citizens &c
much depore" lie that sheddeth mans
blood, by man shall his blood be shed"

sister, Miss Johnston, who lives at 103 jeff
|erson street, in this city, with her neice
Mrs. Col. Candy, she went to the garret
of the house and suicided by taking an
overdose of laudanum. The Johnston
family of which thisunfortunate ladybelongs
is all old Eastern Shore one, coming origi-
nally from Talbot county. They were very
wealthy and Miss. Caroline is reputed to be
worth from $500, ,O00toS 81 ,0OO, 900 A number
of her heirs live in this city, and all of her
property comes to them by natural right.
Col. James Canby's wife, it is said, will get
a very large amount, estimated all the way
from $3.50, 600 to $S00,000. ,a.~I

FATAL ACCIDENT.

Nicholas Whaley, young man about
thirty years Of age, a resident of Chesapeake
City, but working most of the time, the
past two years, in Sassafras Neck, met
with horrible death, at his own hands, on
Saturday morning last. Whaley, who 1t is
said had not handled gun for ten years,
on that morning concluded to spend the day
in rabbit limiting, and, in company with
Thomas Smith and two other young men
whose names we did not learn, set out at
early morning, each with his gun. Reach
ing a thicket in the rear of the farm of E. 8.
Jones, Esq, near Cecilton, the gunners
began to suspect the presence of rabbits,
and 'sNick" in his eagerness cooked his gun.
Approaching pile Of "bruch," he pushed
it with the breech of the gun, in q
manner so reckless that he was cautioned
of the danger by one of his companions, but
laughed at the caution, and a moment after
wards repeated the act. The. raised ham,
mer was caught in some of the branches
and the gun lodged it's contents into the
throat and chest Of the unfortunate gunner.
He fell to the ground and died without ut
tering word. His horror stricken COM
panions ran to Cecilton and told the facts,
and wagon was Immediately sent out for
the remains. Examination showed that the
junglar vein had been severed and the neck
otherwise lacerated in fearful manner.
Whaley was unmarried, but was the support
of widowed mother, whose first knowledge
of the sad occurrence was obtained by q
sight of the ghastly corpse of her son borne
into her house.

Is IL q False Alarm =?

ANOTHER CHARLIE ROSS. A
By the American Press Association.
TIFFIN, Ohio, Jan. 3O.-The Daily Star
of this city has just received information Of
the probable finding of Charlie Ross, near
Charlottesville, Wyandotte county.
LATER.
Further particulars in regard to the find
ing of the supposed Charlie Ross, have been
received, and seem to confirm the former
reports. The latest information gives it
that during the month of last October, or
about when the Wcstervelt investigation was
being hotly pressed at Philadelphia, two
men in close carriage drove up to the res
idence of Mrs. Beebe on the upper Sandusky
road, about IL miles south of this city,
when one of them got out and left the boy
at the house, stating that they had business
to transact in the neighborhood for day or
two and that they did not wish to be both
cred with him.
The men gave his name as Skates, and
cautioned the lady to guard him very close
ly, as he might stray away, and not to let
any person take him away. For about
three weeks the little fellow remained at
the lady's house, and nobody calling for
| him, she had him placed in the inirmary.
Mrs. Belle Gibson has been in the habit
of frequently visiting the County Building,
and some weeks ago she took fancy to the
bcy, and with the consent of the Superin-
tendent took him home with her and sent
him to school. A few days afterwards
some of the school children made the re-
mark that the little boy might be the lost
| Charlie Ross, which awakened feeling OF
curiosity among the people.
| A photograph was taken of the child and
sent to Mr.. Ross, at, Philadelphia and tel
egram was Immediately received in response
that the photograph resembled the lost
Charlie Ross better than any that yet had
come to him, and he ordered the parties to
keep him concealed until further orders.
The little boy is about years old and
SAWS his name is Charlie Skates, his father
having brought him from place called
Cincinnati. He always cries when left in
the dark and throws his arms oyer his eyes
when approached. The suppostion is
that he is the identical Charlie Ross.
The people are more strongly impressed
in this belief when they take into conside-
ration the time he was left, and the locality
in which he was placed, 1t being a thinly
settled country. If it is Charlie Ross, the
abductors were doubtless fleeing from the
East with him when the Westervelt trial
was in progress, and thiuking they were
hotly pursued by detectives they left him
There. .,
