HORRIBLE MURDER.
A Man Killed for His Life Insurance.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, March 90
James Graham, age II, single, has been
arrested on the charge Of numbering
John w. Armstrong, at Camden, n. j.,
January 23d last, and confesses to the
crime. He was an apprentice under
Beny Hunter, now in prison on the
charge, and says that Hunter agreed to
pay him if he accomplished tho deed.
He had several interviews with Hunter,
and the object of the murder, he says,
was to get money from an insurance
company. Graham has been OF dlssolute
habits of late, and his confession is be-
lieved by the sheriff, who states that the
prisoner tells the story with minuteness
which confirms all the knowledge in the
hands of the court. Thsre is great eI-
citement both IN Camden and here
over these startling developments.
The startling part OF Grshsm's confes.
sion is where he detail. how Hunter Wis
tied the house of the wounded man, when
he was at the point OF death, and going
to the bed of Armstrong in the absence
OF the lady members otthc family, pressed
the victims head and made the wounds
bleed fresh again. Graham says that the
plan OF the murder OF Armstrong was
carefully matured, and that he agreed to
do the job for 5000.

COMPETITION IN FUNDING BILLS.
Resignation of Federal Office

~ Measure.
Competition In Funding Bills.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The Ways
and Means Committee and the Banking
and Currency Committee each got in its
postal savings bill to-day, but the former
has rather the better of the situation, for
its bill is made the special order for next
Thursday, after the morning hour, SO as
not to ineerfere with the appropria-
tion bills or the pending special orders in
Committee of the Whole. The latter's
bill was recommitted to the committee
for further examination, but will be kept
in readiness to be offered as a substitute
for the Ways and Means bill. These
measures will be held in conflict, but the
Wsys and Means bill being shorter,
much simpler and more effective, will
doubtless stand the test, and after the
Banking and Currency Committees bill
is gotten out of the way, the Wallace
long bond bill will probably be proposed
as substitute for the first named.
Senator Wallace is of the opinion that
there is no good reason why the two
measures should be brought into direct
sntagonism. He thinks each ought TO
stand on its own merits. 1t is believed,
however, that IS the Ways and Means
bill, which Is intended to promote the
retunding of the National debt and the
loan of savings to the United States, has
the approval of the Secretary of the
Treasury, and is the only thing in the
nature of postal savings scheme that
will go through this Congress, it will
command the stronger support and be-
come q law.

TRIPLE MURDER IN WETZEL
COUNTY.
George wallace, Formerly Of Ohio

Child and Young
Lady Visitor.
PARTICULARS OF THE BLOODY
DEED.

Special TO the Register.
BURTON, WETzEL Co., w. VA, |
March 20. !
The particulars of o horrible triple
murder have just reached here from
point four miles back IN the county, on
Long Drain.
The wife and child of George Baker
and youRg lady fourteen years Of age
the daughter of William s. Church, q
neighbor, were found, this morning, bru.
tally murdered-the wife and q three
months old child on high knob over
looking the surrounding country, and the
young lady on the floor OF the house. l
add further particulars: Baker, whose
real name is said to be George Wallace,
and who halls from Ohio county, where,
it is said, he deserted former wife and
child, has been in the county four or FIVE
years.
Soon after his coming here he married
Miss Mary Roberts, by whom be has
hsi two children-the older one of whom
had been taken by its aunt to her house
the day before the murders. Their mar
ried lie was anything but pleasant, and
they had qusrrelled and parted frequent
ly, but OF late had been living together
on apparently good terms.
Last Monday Baker left home to work
at Lit!leton, five miles away, and last
night Miss Church went up TO mis- house
to remain over night with his wife, who
is relative Of hers. Since that no hu-
man except the murderer or murderers
have seen either of them alive.
Nothing was known of the affair until
the mutilated remains of the wife and
child were discovered by the brother of
tho husband. The young lady was
found PROSTATE upon the floor OF the
house, with her brains oozing from her
head, and bathing the floor in its GRIM
SOD cotted flow, still in death.
The mothers forehead shows plainly
Tie imprint of the pole of an ak.
The child lay nearly covered with
light wrapping, and hidden from the
gaze of the many who thronged to the
scene.
Through feeling of awe and kind
delicacy, the wrapping was allowed to
cover the poor little form, and will not
be removed until the coroner's jury sits
to investigate.
Comments upon the matter are out of
place, but all can appreciate the terrible
feeling Of the .one souls through the
scenes of the attack, the defense, the
struggle, the dull thud of the cruel, muir
derous weapon, the death rattle, the silent
ebb OF the Ife.blood, the cold, still forms
wrapped in death at last, the sudden fear
and flight of the murderer or murderers,
and then the quiet of the grave, with the
full bright, beautiful light of the moon
bathing the scene, the house, the lonely
tree-topped knob, and the inanimate
forms OF the mother, babe and girl.
People are AocklEg to the scene from
all parts, anxious to satisfy sickenlng
curiosity or assist in ferreting the muir
derer or murderers out and bringing him
or them to justice. A.
