An AtrociOus Murder.

A horrible case OF cold blooded muir
der occurred shout seven miles from
Cameron, w. Va, last Saturday night
The details of the crime show that it was
well planned and determined upon, and
wa; the result OF most diaboicsl feel
ing. We learn the following somewhat
scsnty details from gentleman coming
from the vicinity last night. Benjamin
Evans farmer living in the nelghbor-
hood OF Cameron, attended church and
prayer meeting on Saturday evening,
and mounted his horse TO ride TO his
home several miles IRON the church.
After going some distance, he was struck
by heavy rock thrown by q
man FAMED Ira Jobes, and fell
from his horse. At first Evans
was not thought TO be badly hurt, but he
grew worse from day TO day, being in.
jured internally, and yesterday evening
he died.
Mr.. Evans had become engaged in q
difficulty with Jobes some time ago, and
Jobes received Il good thrsshing. He
vowed vengeance on Evans, and 3 great
deal of bad feeling grew out of the case,
which eliminated IN the foul murder Of
Saturday night. Jobes is msn of about
twenty years of age, with blue eyes and
STOPPING shoulders, and has newly
made cut on his cheek.
Although intense excitement prevails
in the town, nothing has been done ex.
cept 10 offer the pitisble reward OF S25
for the arrest Of Jobes.

1t is very gratifying to note, that wnlle
| there is very great depression In most
| branches OF business throughout the couh-
try, our Own manufacturing establish
ments are receiving iull share OF orders
| in their respective lines. In this artlcie
we shall speak of the Centre Founiry
| COMPANY whose works are located on
| Main street between Twenty and Tween
tv.frst streets, South Wheeling, and oc'
cupv frontage OF 100 feet, running back
to the B. u .. railroad and the ONO
river. The firm Of which this company
is the outgrowth, was organized over 40
wears since by Cecil u Brother. They
carried on the business principally OF
stove making until 1864, when h. Hobbs,
Sr.. ESQ, was taken into partnership
| and the firm became known as Cecil
Hobbs & Co. For eleven years they
| cor Quoted the business. By this time
thew had become extensively engaged IN
making heavy castings, and on January
LIST, 1875. the Centre Foundry Company,
John Young, President L. Hobbs, Sr,'
Manager, and E. Hobbs, Jr., Secretary
and Treasurer, was incorporated accord
ing to the laws of West Virginia. Since
that date their business mas very largely
increased, and to day they are considered
among the leading foundry men in the
country. Mr.. Hobbs, ST., originally
came from England, but has been in the
country for fifty years, and may fairly be
said to have beComc entirely American
lied. For over forty years, or ever since
| he arrived ~ man estate, Mr.. HOBBS
has been identified with the manufacture
ing interests of our city, and has ma DO
some of the very finest machinery ever
built in the United States. Tie firm are
having good run of custom and are
shipping goods to all points.
They are constantly engaged in max
ing heavy rolling mill and machinery
castings, and have made some OF the
largest pieces of machinery ever cast in
this country. Among these are rolls,
housan and furnace castings OF oil kinds,
together with squeezer, pulverlzer and
crusher castings. They have recently
finished the complete fittings for two
blast furnaces. Special attention is paid
to the making OF nail machines OF the
latest and most improved patterns, and
to roll pinlons and gearing. They are
also largely engaged 10 the manufacture
OF cast iron store trsnts. Some OF their
designs are very beautiful. The follow
ing in this city which may easily be seen
are among the building fronts cast by
them: Peoples Bank, l.. V. Blond,
