TRAMP OUTRAGE.
Two Tramps Throw a Girl Down
a Well-She Hangs There for
Two Hours.

PARKERsBURG, W. Va, September so.
Saturday afternoon, about 4 o'clock,
tvs tramps came to the house
of Jacob Pike, who resides
near Parker's Landing, in Ohio,
nearly opposite Cow Greek. There was
no one at home at the time except Miss
Mary, the daughter OF Mr.. Fike, who is a
girl about 10 years of age, Mr.. Fike
being absent at Marietta on business
and the boys being out on the farm,
some distance from the house, at work.
The girl was standing at the side of the
well when the tramps came up, and de-
manded something to eat. She en-
deavored to get rid OF them by tell
ing them they could get nothing
then it was after meal-time with the
family. but instead ofleaving, the fiends,
knowing there was no one near, abused
and insulted the girl, and finally seiz-
ing hold Of her plunged her headiOre-
most down the well, which was sixty
feet in depth.
In her descent Mary fortunately
caught hold of the rope and clung to II
until it stopped just before reaching the
water. Here, notN outstanding the seri-
ous injuries she had received, she man.
aged 20 cling bygetting her feet into the
crevices in the wall and hanging
to the rope. The poor girl
hung thus suspended for two
long hours, when her brother return
ing, fortunately found her before she
had given out entirely. They managed
TO get her out and into the house, when
a physician was summoned and her
injuries found to be dangerous, having
received wounds on her head, neck and
back by striking the walls in her descent.
Her father returned about this time,
and receiving a description OF the
scoundrels, started in pursuit He ar
rived in this city that night, having
tracked them TO this neighbOrhoOd.
About ten O'Clock on Sunday morning
Officer Bartlett arrested four tramps on
the OHIO river bank, two OF
whom answer the description given
by Mr.. Fike. In the meantime
Mr.. Fike had returned home, anxious
to ascertain the condition of his daugh-
ter, but will return shortly, as he has
been telegraphed for. The tramps will
be he held here until the condition OF
the girl is aScertained, when, if she is
unable to travel, they will be taken to

NJ CONVILLE REMARKS.

M'CoNvILLE REMARKS.
asked Dan MCCOnville, of this city,
who is member of the Democratic
State Committee, and one OF the most
active men i'm the party, what he thought
of the prospect this fall. McConville
is a cool-headed man, familiar with the
State, and. withal, one given to wrest-
ling with figures. He lik, sto Apply math-
ematics to his conclusions tn support
them.
II think the outlook for the State
very hopeful" said he, "and, in fact,
can see no way they can beat us this
wear. Our people have been making a
quiet campaign here in the Eastern part
of the State, but it has been thorough
and satisfactory. There isn't a county
in this section where the Republicans
will poll their usual vote, while in every
one of them the Democrats have large
gains"
This county, Jefferson, is Republi-
can. Last year it gave ! 100 majority for
the Republicans. What will it give this
year,"
If they carry it by 700 this year
they will be doing well. In giving them
them that much am conceding some
votes to them that | think they won't
get"
How about the Greenback vote?
Will they stick to their own ticket or
have they gone back to the other par
ties2"
"The Greenbackers have gone to
pieces a good deal here. Last year they
cast 525 votes in this county and pre-
sented a bold front in their organization.
| doubt whether they will cast more
than one-third of that number this year
for their straight ticket Four-fiiths of
those who have gone off will vote
for Ewing, while the remainder will 90
back to the Republicans and vote for
| Foster
DO you think the Democrats will be
able TO carry Belmont county this
year,
Undoubtedly they will. They have
an excellent organization there, and ev-
cry thing is working satisfactorily"
How about Columbiana county,"
"Our adyices from there show the
Democrats TO be gaining ground, but OF
course they have no hope OF being able
10 carry the county. Still they are pull
ing down the Republican majority from
year to year"
"And Harrison County"
"Well, things are about the same way
in Harrison. That county is Republi-
can, but the Democrats keep up their
fight. y. :. Hanna, the Chairman OF
their County Committee, is one OF the
best workers in the State, and he keeps
the party in line splendidly." -
A DIFFERENCE or OPINION.
While ] subscribe readily TO what
Mr.. McConville says about the other
counties and personally indorse every
word about the Chairman OF the Harri-
son County Committee, yet my infor-
nation about that county Is different. l
have been told that Governor Bishop, $
pardon OF Roe, the bank robber, will
cost the Democrats at least 200 votes IN
Harrison. Public feeling is still high on

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A West Virginian Hacks His
Stepdaughter and Suicides.

White SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va,
September 30.-The horrible details OF
an atrocious attempted murder and
suicide, which occurred in the extreme
portion Of Greenbrier county, w. Va,
have Just been received here. Mr..
Frederick Harvey, who resided near
Muddy Creek, left hshOme few morn
ings ago, telling his stepdaughter that
he was going to attend religious meet
inc at Emaneul Church. On his return
home ne approached his stepdaughter,
seized her blythe hair and told her he was
going to cut her throat. She took this
sanguinary remark in the light OF a joke
and fairly laughed at him. In another
instant she realized the horror OF her
situation. The glitteripg blade Of a
knife flashed before her eyes and she
felt the sharp sting of the weapon in her
neck. Then began fearful struggle for
life. Harvey held her with the grip OF
a maniac, from which she found 1t i'm
possible to release herself until she was
fearfullv vashed and stabbed. She re-
ceiyed six wounds on her head and
neck, two of which partly severed the
windpipe. Two were on the side
of the neck, one of them just grazing
the carotid artery, one commencing on
the side OF the face, passing over and
cutting off the lower end of one ear,
passing around the head and stopping
lust behind the other ear, and small
cash across the bridge OF the nose. Be-
sides these she received two gashes on
the shoulder, one hand was cut across
the palm to the bone, and the fingers on
both hands were badly cut. Although
covered with gore, she succeeded in
freeing herself from the mans grasp and
escaped barely with her life. The
would-be murderer then cut his own
throat from ear to ear and expired in
stantly. 1t is believed he was insane.
The woman can hardly recover.
