Special Dispatch to the Register.
PARHERsBURG, W. Va, May 10.
Between and o o'clock tonight the
promenaders on Market street were
startled by the sharp report OF a pistol
They saw one man toss his hands wildly
above his head and another hurry away
from him. In a moment the PROSTATE
man was surrounded by crowd, who
were Mortified 10 discover that he was
Scott Tracewell, son OF Jefferson Trace
well, Of Newport, opposite this city.
Instantly the intelligence became gen
eral that an attempt to murder him had
been made, aud there were number
who averred that they saw Elmer Bart
lette, sou Of John Bartlette, a promin-
ent coal merchant Of this city, discharge
the pistol point-blank at the wounded
mans back. The facts so far as they
have been developed point to the crime
W. the most cold.blooded attempt at as
sassination that ever occurred IN this
city. The motive for the shooting is
found in the following circumstances
-Bartlette, who is a young man OF bad
reputation, had taken two Of Squire
Tracewell's daughters IN q skill 70
Blenner l!.i haia:s, Az SON Scott to bring them
home. When he found Bartlcttc "a fight
ensued, in which Bartletto swore
he would take the Lille ol Trace
well. He came To town ahead
Of Tracewel, armed himself, and
getting into skii, crossed the nver
and shot at Tracewell as he was enter
ing the mouth Of the kanawha. lie
missed him at that time, but waited un'
I'll between 3 aud . o'clock, when he
found Tracewell. While Tracewell was
walking along Market street Bartlette
slipped up behind him and snapped his
pistol, The pistol did not explode at
the first trial, but at the second hc sent
a bullet into Tracewell's back, from a
32calibre pistol. Tracewell was taken to
a hotel, but all efforts to find the bullet
failed, and the physicians say the ball
has entered his liver, causing fatal
wound. Bartlette has made his escape
SO lar.
There was the widest contrast be-
tween the character aud disposition the
diving youth and that OF his murderer,
and the atrocious crime has set the people
mad with Indignation. The stealthy
manner of the approach OF the assassin,
and the suddenness of the shot par
alyzed the spectators, and when they
realized what had occurred, 1t was too
late to apprehend Bartlette A vigorous
pursuit has been started, and il is not
probable that the fugitive will succeed
in making his escape. In the present
temper Of this community II would
hardly be safe to bring him openly a
prisoner through the streets
The family Of the wounded boy are
prostrated by this terrible calamity, and
in all the community there is no one
who more sincerely regrets it than the
father Of the young man who did the
shooting. At the time this dispatch
classes young Tracewell is resting easily
but the general impression is that each
passing pulsation marks a foot-beat to-
ward the grave.

After O Big Estate.

The heirs of the Jenrens or Jennings
estate, says a New York paper, have
been among the most active of many
American fortune hunting families.
They formed an association and sent an
agent to England in 1879 to look up
their claims. He returned without &C
complishing anything, but confident of
ultimate success and eager for another
trip. In the meantime an impatient
claimant set o New York firm to max
ing inquiries. Their English CORE
spondent saiu: "The paragraphs which
have appeared and are still appearing
in the American press in regard to the
case have not a particle of truth in them.
I have seen several Of them wherein it
wa stated that hundreds of millions
were lying unclaimed in chancery or the
Bank Of England; and said paragraphs
have actually named the persons entitled
and stated theamount of their respective
shares. Now, these staten ents were
only created in the imagination of the
writer; and l can assure you as a posi-
tive fact that the PROPERTY and money
left by William Jennens, who died in
1898, was never in chancery, and the
whole of the money held by the Bank
of England was paid over to the legal
personal representatives nearly or quite
seventy years ago." He went on to say
that there neve was an unclain ed Jen-
mems or Jennings estate. The attempt to
recover the estate in question was made
against people who had been long in
possession, and the claim was that their
title was fraudulent. Two suits to re-
cover on this ground were thrown out
of court, the judge holding in n case
that possession of seventy years should
not be attacked. rs such a proceeding
would tend to disturb the title to half
the estates in the country.

ReethOYen's Violin.

Some time ago a highly interesting
and valuable musical relic came into the
possession of Edward Kunwald, a mer-
chant in the city of London. It appears
Beethoven before his death bestowed his
fayorite violin upon one of his most in
innate friends. Herr Carl Holz, whose
widow parted with it last year to its
present owner. The sealed mahogany
case containing this precious instrument
was deposited, upon its arrival in Lon
don, with the Messrs. Comerford, nota-
ries public, and by them formally opened
in the presence of Dr.. Joachim and Herr
Gustav Ellison. Within it reposed a
violin, upon the back of which the letter
"B" was roughly scratched, acerti6cate
of ownership, signed Ellie Holz, ge-
born Won Bognar," and oficiai docu-
ments in the German language attesting
the authenticity Of this SIGNATURE, rs

pended to q portrait of the great master,
engraved by Seib, and subscribed "To
Herr Won Holz, from his friend Beet

Increase In Agricultural Products.

A writer in the International ReUieU
saws that in fifteen years the production
of wheat and barley in the United States
has trebled; corn, cotton and tobacco
O than doubled, oats increased nearly
lao, 900, 900 bushels, potatoes nearly
doubled, and hay increased nor than
one-third. He gives the figures for the
chief crops in 1865 and 1870, according to
which the production of wheat has in
creased from l49, $50 900 bushels in the
former year to 448. 75G 900 in the latter
corr from 7O4 .427, 900 to l,544, 899, 900,
oats from 225. 252, 900 to 1854, 253, 900; rye
from 6, 544, 900 to 22,646, 900; barley
from H. 9l, 900 to 40, 1874, 600; potatoes
from 1Ol, 632, O0Oto lSl, 1863. 900; hay from
%, 538, 900 tons to 35,648, 900; tobacco
from 1873, 81, 900 pounds to 1874, O59, 900.
and cotton from 1928, 900 bales to 5,O2o,-
600. The remarkable increase in the
production of cereals has been largely
owing to the settlement and develop
ment of the Western and Northwestern
States. Within the present generation
the center of corn production has shifted
from the South to the West. and of
wheat production from the Middle
| States to the far West. In l849 fifty
nine per cent. and in 1859 fifty-two per
cent. of the corr crop of the country was
produced in the Southern States. In
1877, $50, 900, 900 bushels were grown in
Ohio, Indiana. Illinois, Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska. while the produc-
ton of all the rest of the Union amounted
to 494, 55S, 900 bushels. The increase of
the tobacco crop has been chiefly in the
| South, where the production increased
lou, 600, 600 pounds from 1870 to 1878.
During the same period the yield OF cot
ton increased from 5000 bales to
5,al6, 900. This increase was mainly in
Arkansas and Texas, the crop of the
former State swelling from lll,0O0,0 900
pounds in 1870 to 3l8, 900, 900 in 1878,
and that of the latter State from 49,.
600, 900 pounds in 1870 t. nearly $780,.
| 600, 600 in 1878. According to the writer
already cited, only about nine per cent.
of u entire grain crop is exported, in
Guiding 24.7O per cent. of the wheat
and 6.49 per cent. of the corn produced.
The exports have rapidly increased in
the past few years. and are likely to in
crease in the future, especially if the cost
of transportation shall be reduced.
Thus. the total exports Of all cereals in
creased from 80, O0O, 900 bushels in 1868
to 1853, 600, 600 in 1878. About three per
cent. of the national product was eX-
ported in 1868. and nearly eleven per
cent. in 1878. In addition to this, the
expectation of livestock, into which
corn enters more or less, has increased
tenfold within the past two years.

A Beau's Duel.

The following story is told of Fight
ing Fitzgerald, q celebrated beau, gam
bier, horseman and duelist. After bis
return from Ireland, an old gentleman
declared his intention of trying to cure
Fitzgerald of his love of dueling. and
n day provoked him to Il contest. His
friends tried in vain to persuade him
not to 90 out. Leave me Alone" he
said, "Ill settle him. ! have got the
choice of arms. Each Of us shall be
mounted, each shall choose his own
weapons, a space shall he marked out,
and whoever first crosses the boundary
snail be declared vanquished." Fitz.
gerald being informed of these strange
proposals did not like to refuse, and con-
fident in his admirable Craftsmanship
and skill in all his weapons, accepted.
He appeared on the ground superbly
mounted on a iery steed and armed with
pistols. To the surprise and mirth OF
all, the Old gentleman trotted up on a
donkey, carrying bladder with dried
peas inside, and n scarlet cloak in his
hand. Waving the cloak and shaking
his rattle, lie rode into the space; off
started tpc fiery courser, and before
Fitzgerald knew where he was he had
crossed the boundary and lost the duel.
The ridicule was too much for him, and
lie never went OUT again.
