persons in the magenta room OF the
White Honse with view " singing
hymns. There were present Gen. Sher.
man, Secretary Scburz, Secretary
Thompson, Postmaster General, Stan
ley Mattk W. aud Presidential small
boy. Two or three Of those present
had never bvfoIe been admitted TO the
Sunday evening singing, aud were
obviously iD some doubt as to how they
were expected 10 conduct themselves.
The President, after distributing the
hJ mn books, began 10 search tor nice
opening hymn, aud the guests sat in
silence, with the exception Of Gen.
Sherman, who, having accidentally
dropped his pbymnbook with q loud
crssis made remark which at frst
startled Mr. Hayes. The General, how
ever, hurriedly explained that he had
merely expressed bis solemn conviction
of the truth Of the dogma Of iuture
punishment, aud the President, gladly
accep,ing the eIpIanssion, bat at the
sa,ue time tskiog the precaotiou TO
send his youngest child out Of the room,
that the three hundred and
ninety seventh hymn would be sung to
the air Of china. ~. o. Tsmes.F

TIE WEST VIRGINIA Triple MURDER
-CoNpEssroN OF JOHN WALLACE
WHEELING, w. Va, March 22.--Ihis
evening John Wallace confessed that
he murdered the wife and child OF Geo,
Wallace, alias Baker, aud Miss Church,
near Littleton, short distauce from
this CITY. He says he, went to his
brothers house and told bis wife. that
she must 90 to Mrs. Churchs, as that
lady was sick. He as sked for hammer
and she gave it to him. Wallace ana
his brothers wife started TO Churchs,
and as Mrs. Wallace was clim Ding the
fence he struck her twice vith the ham
:ner on the head, which killed her. lie
then picked up the child, which was
CRYING, and struck it ag inst stone.
Death Immediately followe ].
He then went back al told Miss
Church to get him som ming to eat'
and as she started out h. struck her
several times with the bsmmer, which
caused death. He then = cut home and
slep. over night, and gave the alarm
next morning in order to screen hm-
self. He states that a young man nam
ed Henry Villars had promised to aid
in the murder, but did not come toilme:
He stated that bis brother and wife had
beed talking about him, and his wife
and he had determined to kill the
woman. His reason for killing Miss
Church is that he was afraid she would
find out what he had done. He farther
states that Villars had at one time had
some trouble with George Wallace,a alias
Baker, aud had offered thirty dollars II
some one would kill him. The jury
rendered a verdict according to the
confession. The reported trouble be-.
tween George Wallace, alias Baker,and
Vilars was investigated by Prosecuting
Attorney Anley, who discharged Nillars.
The supposition is that John Wallace
used deception in confessing that Villars
was implicated, he knowing that the
public knew that Villars and George
Wallace, alias Baker, were not on very
good terms. John Wallace is constant
iy praying, occasionally crying. The
victims were buried at 10 O'Clock to-
day. s-.|
