New Martinsville Messenger.
We are indebted to Mr.. Bert. Swami,
of Middlebourne, for the particulars OF II
tragedy near that town, which resulted
in the death OF Jacob Metz, well known
to many OF our readers.
1t seems that Metz had been intimate
with q young lady by the name of Cor
man, for some years, and tnat man by
the name of Rockwell, better known ms
CHEAP John" having formed her ac'
quar- tsnce, bad feelings had been eL-
gendered. Metz had been over to New
Martinsville last Monday, and on his re-
turn home met the young lady in Mid
dlebourne and in the evening acCOmpan
led her to her fathers house, some dis
tsEce from the town. Later in the eve
ming Rockwell came to the house and the
men soon began qusrrellng, and about
ten o'clock r NJ, began lighting in the
ward. Metz, according to the story o!
the girl, who was the only witness OF the
affair, had Rockwell down and WAS
pounding him with his fists, when Rock
we'll managed TO get his revolver from
his pocket and fired, lnhicting wound
from which Metz died yesterday NOR
ming.
Rockwell had not been arrested
when our informant left Middlebourne.
We learn from Col. ID. ID. JOHNSON
that ROCKWELL was to have had his pre-
liminsry trial last Saturday, but he pro-
cured the postponement until Monday
and again until yesterday, under the plea
of beng too unwel to attend. The Mes
senger is mistaken in referring to the
woman as "young lady" ss she is
public character and well known Ms such
He further says the public impression is
that the murder was q most deliberate
and foul one.

THE uNcoNFIRMED NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
OF THE PRESIDENT.
II is understood that tho President VIII send into the
Senate during the present week all the nominations
which shall fall BY the failure Of the Senate to act
upon them at the extra session, naming the
persons. II is understood also that unless
proper scrutiny shows that the President has nom
mated an unAt person the nominations will receive
the support OF number OF republican Senators who
will their confirmation ana their represents
tions 1t is likely they win be confirmed.
THE END OF THE SOU HERN QUESTION.
Mr. Eusts will be seated within the present week
and when he is in all the States OF the Union
will be once more fully represented In the Senate
and the war will be at There would seem to
be, after that, NO further reason to speak Of the
southern question.

party which enacted it, the administration which
eniorces It, and tho deputy United States marshals
who hunt up and destroy their stills and whom they
shoot whenever they get = chance. Now, the United

OUR HoUsELEss POPULATION. Under
this head the Palouse Gazette gives
forth timely warning that immi-
grants would do well to heed. The
unprecedented immigration and the
prosperous times, has caused an ex-
cessive demand for lumber i'll all of
this country, and the result is that
lumber yards are barren at a time
when they are usually full. \ thou
sand feet of seasoned lumber can
not be procured III the city, nor in
fact can thousand feet of any kind
of lumber be obtained at the present
time, except by giving al order to a
mill man and waiting for him to cut
it. The Gazette says: "The immigra-
ton to the Palouse county has been
so unusually large this season, not
withs;anding the Indian scare, that
no kind OF manufactures have kept
pace, and the result is we have about
four consumers to one producer.
This is the more noticeable in The
article of lumber. The three saw
mills in this county have not sup
piled the demand for lumber, and
never can. Lumber has been SELL
ing all the season at from SIG to $50
per thousand, and at no time has the
demand been supplied. There are
now more than one hundred fami-
lies in this county without a shelter
for winter, because lumber can not
be had to build, and ut the present
rate of immigration there can be no
telling how many will be obliged to
burrow in the ground like cayotes,
and if this winter should be a severe
one, there will probably be some
suffering. Every wood shed or shell
ter of any kind is occupied for
dwelling house; buildings that were
expected to be completed before this
time, are unfinished for want of lum-
ber. People intending to come here
will do well to delay until Spring,
when it is hoped that saw mill men
will see the golden opportunities in
this and Stevens counties, and i'm
prove them.
