LETTER FROM WHEELING.

Mr.. Editor-As yet very few bills have

without much DELAY.

to whom was referred Speaker wilson 5
resolution and bill is hard at work exam
ming witnesses but as yet have not
heard anything about the character OF the
evidence taken. 1t is the opinion of
GOOD many persons that the bill is i'm
Practicable and will not accomplish the
object for which it is intended, without
considerable alteration or amendments.
senator Newman has also introduced
hill i'm the Senate upon the same subject
which it is said by those who have exam
ined it TO be more practical than the
Speakers bill.
The Temperance people are making
move to have Il Constitutional amend
mcnt submitted to the people at the next
general election to prohibit the manu-
facture and sale of Intoxicating liquors
in this State. a joint resolution was Of
fcred in the Senate yesterday to that eff

There was quite breeze in the House
yesterday over the resolution offered by
Mr.. Lowery inquiring into the eXpedien-
cy of abOliShing the State University at
MOrgantOwn and converting the Building
into Il reform school. Mr.. Lowery made
several charges against President Ihomp-
son, one of which was that during the last
campaign lie was running around the
country i'll the interest Of the republican
party, and attending a caucus ut Wash
ington city with Sturgiss, Walker and
others 1t the expense of the State. Mr..
Lowery said that he did not know of his
own personal knowledge whether these
charges were true or not, but that it was
the common rumor all over the State and
the matter ought to be investigated, but
the resolution was defeated by very de-
cided vote of 30 noes to ayes.
The advocates of the increase in State
school tax are busy at work. EX-Spcakcr
Moilet has introduced bill to increase
the tax 20 cents on the hundred dollars
and from tic look of things it will pass
the House, but believe that it will be
defeated in the Senate.

SAID there was no doubts as to his death,
although he apparently had been dead
but short time"
A Coroners jury was summoned,
who viewed the remains, and listened
to the testimony, which was in sub
stance as above, and rendered verdict
that he came to his death from natu-
raj cause, being that stated by DIR. Har-
vey-spinal apoplexy. :,
The indications were that Dr. Ferrel
had seated himself in a chair before the
fire, suddenly died and tell from the
chair, striking his forehead and slightly
bruising it. He was man about 90
years old and leaves wife and atwelve
year old daughter 10 mourn his loss, in
addition to a large circle of friends.
lie was physician of the school of al
lopathy, and 1t is said, graduated in
Cincinnati. lie was country doctor,
and in addition, ran a small farm; at
one time he taught school, he was also
an earnest worker in the Disciples
Church, aud was regarded with great
respect by his neighbors. The Legisla-
ture was Informed of his death, and, at.
ter taking appropriate action, adjourned
and attended the funeral in body. and
escorted the remains to the 5 o'clock
B. & o. train at the depot, where the
committee appointed embarked. The
ceremonies were conducted at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Oldham, by Revs.
Thompson and Baruitz, and were quite
affecting. At the conclusion a last
look was taken by the members at their
late fellow worker. and the coffin was
sealed. There are one or two peculiar
points connected with the death, the
first being that it is the second death
that has occurred among the members
since the election, Mr.. Meadows having
died on the oath of last month, never
having been able TO reach the capitol,
and the second point is, that since the
formation OF the State, the Legislature
has never performed a duty like the one
of yesterday. The pall-bearcrs were

From tho Martinsburg Independent.
DEATH or UEe. GEO. EERREL

This community was shocked on
Tuesday by dispatch from f. Boyd
Faulkner, announcing the sudden death,
on that morning, Of DIR. Geo. Fcrrel,
our delegate to the Legislature. The
news was at once carried to his wife
and daughter at their home, three
miles west of IIedgesville. 1t was a
sad stroke to them. They were anx-
ously awaiting a letter from the absent
husband and father, and had sent TO the
postoffice on Saturday expecting TO re-
ceiye it. Instead OF the expected letter
breathing love and affection, came the
messenger bearing the sad news of his
death. We would not, if we could,
picture the mental agony, the deep sor
row, the almost breaking hearts OF that
mother and daughter when they receiv-
ed the sorrowful message. May He
who doth all things well, apply the
balm to hearts stricken by His dispen-
sation.
In the death Of DR.. Ferrel, Berkeley
county loses one of her most valuable
citizens. AS a representative i'll the
legislature, he was industrious, watch
ful and earnest in his efforts TO look af.
ter and further the best interests Of
his constituents. He was gbout So
years of age, an earnest and devoted
christian,-a member of the Deciples
Church. We append the following
from the Wheeling Register in regard
to his sudden death:
1.-The details surrounding his death
are peculiarly sad when are remembered
the loving wife and daughter he left in
the beautiful Shenandoah Valley wait
ing for his return from the post Of hon
or he had been selected TO FIJI by his
citizens, and then to think of the
sudden blow bealt by the hand of an
all-wise Providence. Ever since the
opening of the session of the Legisla-
ture, DR.. Ferrei has been found in his
seat, earnestly working away for the
welfare and advancement OF the State,
until Monday afternoon, when he was
suddenly taken sick and assisted 10 Mrs.
Oldham's boarding house on Main
street, where he was stopping. He
complained of a dull, deadening pain
between the shoulders, and in the arms,
aud applied mustard plasters, which
seemed 10 revive him. DR.. Brady, the
colleague of the deceased, and Senator
Dawson, occupied the same room with
DR.. Ferrel, and during the evening they
assisted him into the parlor which
opened out OF their room, and talked 10
MIN, in hopes that he would forget the
pain which was something he could not
explain and said he had never had be-
fore. When the TIME for retiring arriv-
ed, he laid down without undressing,
saying that he wonld call if he should
need assistance. During the night he
slept and walked the floor by turns.
About six o'clock Tuesday morning,
Mr.. Brady awoke and finding DIR. Fer
rel awake, asked him bow lie felt. lie
replied "no better" Mr.. Brady shortly
afterwards Gozed off again, but about
7 o'clock he, Mr.. Dawson and Mr. Hall
who had rooms in the building, were
awakened by Mr.. Oldham who said
that on going into the parlor to build
