THE RABER MURDER.


LEBANON, Pa, September S.-Brandt
and Hummell, two Of the men convicted of
the murder of Joseph Raber, to-day made
statements in reference to the murder.
Brandt denies ever having had anything
to do with the murder; never solicited the
aid OF Drew or Stichler, never held poll
cy on Raber's life, and therefore had no
interest in his death. m
Hummell asserts his innocence, and that
he was in sChuylkill county at the time Of
the murder; He admits holding a policy
on Raber's life, but considers 1t an ordina-
ry business transaction, says he bought it,
as others did in that neighborhood, ex-
peCting Raber to die soon, he being an old
man, and that he was never in a conspira-
Cy to murder him. ..-.t

A Serious Call upon The city Council
The stale OfThIngs In East wheeling.


We publish this morning the very Inn
porlsnt memorial from a number Of the
leading medical men Of the city that was
referred to Council by the Health Com
mittee at Tuesday nights meeting. An
alarming condition OF affair as regards the
public health in that portion Of the city is
set forth in this memorial. Attention is
called in it to the fact that the mortality
in East Wheeling from the prevalence and
yirulence Of dlphtheria arises mainly from
The lack Of proper sanitary conditions.
Chief among the sources Of disease
is the want Of drainage. No medical
skill tan cope with such 4 lack.
The ground is Of character to prevent
natural drainage, and simply serves to
nOld water and tilth as reservoir for the
spread Of disease. The only remedy is to
'lrain the ground. Unless this is done we
will see from season to season what we
have witnessed for the last two years.
Atter two such experiences Council can
not afford to hesitate as TO their duty in
the premises. The public will hold them
responsible for at least an attempt to
better the condition OF East Wheeling
The way is pointed out by the memorial
by which a change for the better can be
effected, and It certainly is the duty
"i Council, in view of the aitliction
that has fallen on the people
ai that part OF the city, to put
forth an energetic effort to at least miti-
eate il not eradicate'the disease that has
scorrged them. The trouble is clearly in
the lack Of drainage, and it is only matter
OF justice that the money available for
drainage purposes should be spent where
it is so urgently needed to protect the pub
lichealth. Nothing that the Health Off,
Ger can do will avail to materially check
the prevalence Of diphtheria SO long as the
ground over which the disease riots is not
drained.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
Important Meeting of Repre-
Sentativcs in Chicago.

CHICAGO, December 1.-THE Grand
Pacific Hotel was almost completely
taken up to-day by the representatives
OF the railroads having connection with
Chicago and with Illinois, several hun
dred being there during the day. The
passenger agents of the Trunk
Lines and their connections adopted
a series of resolutions look to the future
scaling of passenger rates, step which
is declared to he daily becoming more
necessary. Thirty.siX roads were repre-
sented at this meeting. Tomorrow they
will act on some suggestion OF the gem
eral managers. The joint executive COM
mittee of the trunk lines completed its
classification of freight. About
thirty roads which cross Illinois
sent representatives here to-day,
and formed a central railroad rate asso-
citation. The object is 10 protect their
roads from unfair advantages which it
is claimed their connecting trunk
lines take. An executive committee
was appointed to draft resolutions. The
rates will be equalized and full arbitrary
local rates will be demanded Of the
trunk lines and these roads will refuse
10 pro rate with the trunk lines.

MurderOuS Assault of n West
Virginia Woman on the Alleged
ParamOur of Her Husband.
pccial Dispatch u The Enquirer.

Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.
Pr. PLEASANT, w. Va, December IT,.
Our town was thrown into fever OF
excitement last night by the attempt OF
Mrs. ALI Sinclair TO take the life OF a
woman OF easy virtue named Sarah
Alexander, a grass widow. Your re-
porter visited the scene OF the encoun-
ter this morning and elicted the follow
ing facts:
Ali st. Clair, the husband of the
wronged woman, keeps a meat shop on
one of the principal streets Of the town.
He has, it is charged, been having clan
destine meetings with Mrs. Alexander,
and made arrangements with her TO
meet him in his shop at seven o'clock
last night. She came at the appointed
time, and Mrs. Sinclair had been watch
ing their maneuvers and saw her 90
into the shop. She waited for her TO
come out, but staying longer than was
deemed prudent for a woman, she,
Mrs Sinclair, went into the shop, where
she found her husband and the woman
in the back room Of the shop under
very suspicious circumstances for virtu-
Gus people.
She grew furious and grabbed a large
butcher-kniie and struck desperately al
the woman some two or three times,
declaring that she would kill her now
that she had finally caught her. She
cut the woman severely on the back and
other parts of the body, and was only
prevented from killing her outright by
the interference OF her husband and
other parties. No arrests.
