THE HAMILTON Hol1cIDE.
Mystery About the AHair-oihcr Int
..,..s. aaIlaIna Notea

Mystery About the AHair-oiher Inter.
esting BeIIaire Notes.
There was much excitement at Bellaire
Wednesday morning when the news Of
young olyne Hamilton's being hurt was
circulated, and this was increased when 1t
was learned that Hamilton was dead. He
was taken TO DR.. woodbridge's Office,
where he died about four o'clock. The
body was taken on the II o'clock train
10 his parents home at Georgetown, near
Wellsville.
viii Watkins, who has lately opened a
shoe store next 10 Hamilton's drug store
was with Hamilton and ran of at first
when attacked, but going back he gave
the alarm, first arousing w. d. taris, VINO
at first ran to the wrong end Of the alley,
Watkins being too much excited 70 be
specific. The body was found back Of
Jas. Wilson's, with the head lying towards
the alley. A large stone or brick bad
evidently struck him, the wound being
near The right temple and running back
across the head. He was not conscious
after being removed.
There Is mystery about the affair that
has served to keep up the excitement.
The story OF Watkins was that they were
passing the alley when they saw some
men and three colored girls, and that one
of these persons threw stone, with an
oath. and Hamilton fell. Since that, 1t is
reported that three colored girls, who were
arrested Wednesday forenoon and are in
iail, were seen with Watkins and Hamil-
ton In the evening, and that some one
with an interest In the girls, or from some
other motive, had followed and struck the
blow that ended SO disastrously. A man
named Hoffman was also locked up on
suspicion OF knowing something Of the
affair. The straight Of It all can only be
found out by the official investigation
which was postponed Wednesday on &C.
count Of another case.
The nailers ndothers at the nail works
had to quit work Wednesday, on account
OF the heat.
The Mayor and a jury were engaged
Wednesday afternoon in trying case OF
obtaining goods under false pretenses.
Quite crowd filled the hall, expecting TO
hear the examination OF those arrested in
the homicide case, but they were disap-
pointed and mostly dropped out. Mr..
| Brown, the Guernsey street grocer, &C.
cused - Mclaughlin OF assuming the
name OF A. ]. Harry and buying goods on
credit. To get excused from paying, he
represented that his son had fallen and
received injuries from which he died and
the expense OF burying him bad taken all
his money; while he really had no child
dead at al. Then he represented that he
lownad house and wanted Brown to hunt
a tenant. He owned no house. He was
ARRESTED in the spring Tor this but liberated
on promise Of payment. r. o. +.

PRESENTATION OF A CANE TO Col. ALRcR.
CAMPBElL.-No man in West Virginia
seems to have larger number OF warm,
personal friendsthan Col. Aleck Campbell,
OF Bethany. He has in this city, as else
where, wherever he Is well known, q
large number Of them. A few days ago
Major ]. @. Anderson, along with others,
determined to surprise the Colonel by the
presentation to him OF gold headed cane.
Accordingly they gave to Mr. o. +. Brown,
the well.known jeweler, an order Tor .
stick that would be appropriate 10 present
10 the Colonel, which he duly executed
| in New York. The presentation OF 1t to
Colonel o. took place last evening at the
parlors Of Capt Gus Rolf on Twelfth street,
and the ceremony was made the occasion
Of quite a social gathering Of the Colonel's
friends st the parlors Yhere. an ele-
CANT entertainment was served. There
we're present at the tables, his
honor, Judge Melvin, Col, Thos. 0'Rrien,

Before supper was served John o. Pen.

cane to Col. @. in very appropriate
speech, TO which the Colonel responded in
| a yery feeling and becoming manner. AT.
| ter the removal Of the cloth number Of
toasts we're proposed and responded TO.
| Col. Campbell proposed the health OF
Judge Melvin, and spoke Of him as
o Judge who had adorned the bench
lby the uprightness and impartiality and
liability with which he had held aloft the
scales OF Justice To this very appropri.
ate toast the Judge replied in his very
modest way, acknowledging the honor but
deprecating any willingness to appropri.
ate it TO himself. Other toasts were replied
| 10 by Col. 0'Brien, Major Anderson, A. w.
Campbell, Senator Wagner. @. Z. Brown,
and Sheriff Tinglei
The whole affair passed of most pleas.

as most gratifying success. The cane Is

RIPARIAN RIGHTS.

Section 6422 of the Civil Code Section
1922, Title VIII on Water Rights provides
that "the rights of riparian proprietors are
g not affected by the provisions of this til
tie" the object OF the chapter being to
prescribe the methods by which water may
be appropriated for various purposes. SEN
ate Bill No. oil, introduced by Mr.. Satter-
white, undertakes to amend this section,
and makes it READ as follows: "Section
g I422. The rights of riparian proprietors
e are not affected by the provisions of this
" title. Ariparian proprietor is one through
whose land a natural stream flows, or
90 whose land borders ON a natural stream,
and ne has only the right to
" the flow OF sufficient water in such
g stream for culinary and household pur-
opposes, and to water the live stock which
she owns and keeps on his premises.
Such rights are subject to condemnation
60 for irrigating purI oses in the manner
provided by Title VII, Part Ill. of the
"Code of Civil Procedure" And now
viii some one tell US what rights are left to
ethe riparian proprietor after Mr.. Satter-
white has defined his position for him? In
the first place be is to have only the right
to water for household purposes and the
use of live stock but even these slender
rights are "subject to condemnation for
irrigating purposes. In fact, un-
der this bill the riparian proprietor
might be deprived of every drop OF water
that ran past his door, and be practically
starved cut. What is the meaning of this
strange amendment OF the Code The
latter appears TO have left the definition of
the rights OF riparian propretors to the
common law, For what purpose has Mr..
Satterwhite undertaken to change this ar
rangement, with the result of stripping
the riparian proprietor of al rights what
ever! We are of opinion that the bill
ought not to be passed until satisfactory
explanation OF these points has been made.

TIE UsUHY Law.

A bill fixing the legal rate of interest has
passed to a third reading in the Assembly !;
fact which shows that sufficient vigilance
is not exercised in the examination of new
laws. The enactment of this bill can have
but one efect-namely, to make the Dor
rowing of money more difficult. As usury
laws are commonly sought by the poor
instead of the rich, it might at the first
glance be conjectured that this was a mis-
taken apprehension. 1t has indeed been
asserted, as reason for passing such law,
that nearly all the other States have it.
But this is not true, in the first
place, and in the second place it
would not be relevant even if it
were true. For good many years
California chung to her specific contract
law, Notwithstanding the fact that all the
rest of the country had given itself up to
deprecated paper money. That was one
of the wisest things the people OF this State
ever did, but the argument used for the
usury law would have condemned it. We
have now a Constitution which seeks to
make the lender on mortgages pay the
tax. If to this provision we add another
fixing the rate of interest at six per cent,
we shall at one blow destroy the value of
real estate as security, and put an end to
loans upon mortgages altogether. We
shall be doing this simply because under
senses will prefer the risk of a mortgage
which would then return him no more
than four per cent. interest, to the abso-
lutte security of Government four PER cent
bonds. The necessities of our farmers
would, however, remain the same. They
would oe exposed to the same vicissitudes.
They would need money as much as ever,
but they could no longer obtain it or if
they discovered some way of obtaining it
they would have to deal with some greedy
sharper who was willing to take the risk
of violating the law, for the sake OF in
creased prOHU. IL Is true InaI several
States have usury laws, but it is not true
that any State has ever been benefited by
such a law, and it is the fact that in
California the demand for freedom
from such vexatious restrictions is
more urgent than elsewhere, because
of the precarious nature of our leading
industries. When the conditions are such
that mortgages are more than commonly
doubtful security, it is obvious that the
rate OF interest must be fixed by bust
ness considerations, or capital will be with
drawn altogether from that form of invest
ment. a usury law is here more injurious
TO the borrower than almost anywhere in
the world, and that class ought to oppose
such a law with all its energies. 1t is to
be hoped that this bill will not be passed
in the Assembly without full discussion,
but that in any event it will be rejected by
the Senate.
