INCIDENT AT THE WHITE SULPHUR.
On Saturday the camp and the people
around the hotel were thrown into some
little excitement by crowd of soldiers
manifesting some feeling against Mr..
Cuthbert, the talented Virginia cores
pondent of the New York Herald. Mr..
Cuthbert was approached by the crowd
and asked if he was the author of a tele-
gram in the Herald stating that a riot
had occurred at the Greenbrier White
Sulphur Springs between the soldiers
and negro walters at the hotel, and up
on his answering in the affirmative. two
soldiers caught hold of him and called
upon the crowd to seize him, having in
view some punishment upon that gen
tleman. At this moment lieutenant
appeared upon the scene and demanded
that the correspondent be not molested !:
and further ordered the men to camp,
two of whom were placed in the guard
house. Subsequently the men compos-
ing the attacking party thinking they
had done Mr.. Cuthbert an injury, sought
him and made ample apology for their
conduct. Whereupon an amicable set
Element was effected, and the walters

HAUNTED BY HIS VICTIM.-In Phila-
delphia, on Friday night of last week,
an Englishman giving the name of John
Henderson made his appearance at a
police station, and stated to the sergeant
that he had committed murder, and
requested to be taken into custody. He
said that he belonged to Troop E. Eigh-
tenth Hussars, Of her Majesty the
Queen of England. In January last he
was in company with Sergt. Wheeler,
of the same troop, at Colgate, England.
They had both been drinking together.
when he discovered that Wheeler had
more money than he possessed himself,
and he determined to have it. He then
obtained carbine and struck his...,com-
panion heavy blow on the head. kill
ing him almost instantly. In rif1ing the
pockets of the murdered man Hender-
son he found G16, which he took, and
then dragged the body to q cesspool and
threw it in. He then deserted and took
passage to America, where he arrived
several months ago, landing in New
York. Recently he came to Philadel-
phia, but here as in other places he could
find no peace of mind, and was continu-
ally being haunted by the form of his
victim. The English vice consul at
Philadelphia, when informed of the af-
fair, stated that Sergeant Wheeler, of
Troop E, had been found in a cesspool.
but not for some time after the man had
disappeared and a reward of e5 offered
for the capture of each. It was believed
that the deceased had committed
suicide. The conscience stricken MUIR
derer was committed to prison for fur
ther hearing on the I'd of September.

ATTEMPTED AssAssINATIoN.-O
Monday afternoon, the 10th inst, an at
tempt was made to assassinate Captain
Doolittle, revenue officer, in Summers
county, w. Va. He and his squad had
been engaged in destroying illicit dis
tilleries in that county. The Mountain
Herald, published at Hinton, the coun-
ty seat of Summers county, gives the
circumstances as follows:
son Monday the Goth, about 2 o'clock
in the evening, as Capt. Doolittle and
his squad were crossing from Bluestone
(where they had destroyed an illicit dis
tillery on the land of one of the Lillys,)
to the Giles, Fayette and Kanawha turn
pike, they were fired upon by some per-
sons concealed in the brush. Captain
Doollttle being in front was struck in
the arm, horse becoming frightened, he
attempted to dismount when two more
shots were fired, one taking effect in his
leg. he was then taken to the house of
Mr.. Green Meador and a messenger
started after DR.. Gooch, who was found
at Mr.. Clarks. The DR.. found no bones
broken, but painful flesh wounds, and
dressed them with his usual skill and
care Capt. Doolitte was removed Tues
day on litter to the mouth of Bluestone,
where bateau conveyed him to this
point. He took the night train and left
for home"
1t is hoped that the perpetrators of
this crime will be detected and the
punishment deserved be visited upon
them.
The Mountain Herald is right in stat
ing that-"Every citizen of the county
should earnestly endeavor to ferret out
the perpetrators of this most infamous,
and cowardly assault upon an efficient,
and deserving Officer in the quiet and
fearless discharge of his duty. The
would-be assassins must be brought to
Justice, and we call upon officers, and
citizens to leave no stone unturned, and
relax no effort until they are captured
and brought to trial. Our county is dis
graced by these lawless men. From all
we can learn, Capt. .Doolitte, is q most
excellent officer, and has discharged the
dangerous, and disagreeable duty as
signed him in most thorough and ef-
fective way. He has destroyed large
number of illicit distilleries (some twen-
ty,) yet 1t was done in an orderly and
officer like manner, which reflected
credit upon himself and men,"

Nearly all are enabled to make full

LADY.-At Mansfield, Ohio, Miss Mag
gle Barbour, seventeen years of age, was
terribly burned at her residence Tuesday
evening. She had been cleaning her
gloves with benzine, and had put them
on while they were saturated with the
fluid. In dressing for party, and try
ing to dry them, her hands came in con-
tact with flame of a lamp. Her arms
were instantly enveloped in flames, and
before they could be extinguished her
hands and arms to the elbows were so
badly burned that the skin and flesh
peeled off almost to the bone. She now
lies in critical condition.

HAIL.-The most destructive storm of
the season occurred on Wednesday night


of last week. It was of brief duration,
not lasting more than fifteen minutes,
but for thatspace rain, hail, thunder and
lightning combined to make storm at
once terrible and destructive. Fortu-
nately its area was limited, and was con-
fined principally to the town and its en-
virOns. It did not extend, in its intens-
itJ half q mile from the city limits in
any direction, SO far as we have heard,
and spent its force chiefly south of Wa
ter street. A great deal of glass was
broken-Steele & Co., at the gardens be-
ing the principal sufferers in this line.
In one Of the lighthouses every pane was
broken. Fields of corn were completed
riddled, and vegetable gardens and fruit
orchards were totally destroyed. Mr..
Harrison Bowers lost large portion of
his summer labor in his garden opposite
the Town Spring. His loss amounts to
several hundred dollars. Mr.. Richard
sons peach crop was utterly ruined
Three or four hundred bushels of peach
es, pears, &C., were threshed from the
trees, and what remains is nearly worth
less. Hundreds of birds were killed in
some instances as many as dozen were
counted under q single tree. An idea of
the size and quantity of the hail may be
obtained from the fact that some Of it
remained, in sheltered places, late in the
afternoon Of the following day. 1t is

THE UNEMPLOYED.--The statement
that there are 100000 unemployed
men" in this country is considered a
piece of very questionable and mis-
chievous extravaganza. The census
shows that in 1870 the employed, male
and female, over ten years old, number
ed 12,5O5, 1923, and calculates that, by in
crease of population, this number may
now be about 100000. OF these all
but about 100000 are employed in
agricultural, professional and personal
pursuits, leaving only this 1900, 900
