JUSTICE AT LAST.
After Long, Weary Chase Two Murder
ers are Found in the Moundsville Peni-
Tertiary.

After Long, Weary Chase Two Murder
ers are Found in the Moundsville Peni-
Tertiary.
Friday evening two men answering 10
the names of Robert Wilson and George
Graves were discharged from the
Moundsville Penitentiary, having serv-
ed term OF two years and ten months
each for house,breaking and burglary in
Parkersburg, and were Immediately re-
arrested by two Michigan officers, assist.
ed by Sheriff Hicks of Marshall county.
They were lodged in Jail, and Saturday
morning, after being secured. were taken
by the Michigan officers to that State =
The right names of these two WORTH
les are Dan Graham and Ike Clark, two
hardened scoundrels, having served sew.
eral terms already in convict cells. They
are now charged with the murder OF an
old German who was hermit and
miser and lived near Detroit. He was
murdered in 1876, his house being en-
tered at night and he horribly and fend-
ishly treated in hopes Of being induced
to tell his secret, hut do that lie
would not, and was finally roasted 10
death on a red hot stove. The how ]
was then ransacked but whether any
money was found it is not known.
When leaving they set the place on fire
but 1t was not destroyed and what had
been done was revealed. The authori-
ties claim that they have the most indis-
putable evidence that these two con-
victs were the foul murtlerers.
For over three years all efforts to dis.
cover the whereabouts OF the robbers
and murderers proved sbortive, and it
was finally conceded that they bad left
the country, and all hopes OF their cap
ture were abanded by everyone except
one man, a Detroit detective, who, with
the tenacity OF a sleuth hound, con-
tinued to follow up every clue that could
be found which could possibly result in
the mems capture and punishment. Last
spring he struck the trail OF lis men at
Columbus, o., from whence, after great
deal of trouble. he succeeded in tracking
them to Parkersburg, in this State,
where, under the present aliases OF
Robert Wilson and George Groves,
they were convicted of house-breaking
and sent to the penitentiarv for two
years and ten months each. Feeling
sure, from the description received OF
Groves and Wilson, that they were the
men he wanted, this Nemesis followed
them to this place, visited the prison
and recognized them On sight. Obtain
ing the date OF their discharge, he re-
turned to Detroit and at once procured
requisition from the Governor OF
Michigan for the two men. That State
probably has them now, and it is trusted
the gallows will soon claim them for its
own.
The two men have always been very
quiet in Mouplsville, but no doubt they
were Matching fresh deeds of crime
against the time they would be released.
The detective work was very nice piece
Of business.

The Excursion, on Saturday, to the Penl-
Tertiary.
In accordance with aresolution adopt
ed during the week by the Legislature,
the Joint committee of the House and
Senate on the Penitentisry made their
biennial excursion, on Saturday, to the
institution. They were accompanied by
quite number of members and by a
small gathering from the outside world.
The passage was without event or inter-
est, and upon arriving at the Hotel de
Bridges the party was received by the
Superintendent and conducted through
the building.
The committee had various matters
of business demanding its attention and
it was accordingly deposited in the of.
fee, while the others made the tour.
Many OF the visitors looked for the first
time upon the prison scene and found
it very interesting. Nothing was omit
ted that could possibly be of
and at the conclusion OF the round every
one was highly pleased at the evidences
OF good management.
An interesting feature OF the visit was
a substantial dinner spread, about noon,
in the upper hall, at which the cooks
and caterer came in for their share of
praise. At A o'clock the visitors re.
ceiyed an idea Of the drill and discipline
by viewiRg the prisoners march to sup
per. and thence TO their cells.
The return was ma,le at 4:40 O'Clock,
and the tourists arrived safely home,
pleased with what they had seen, and
under Obligations to Capt. Devries for
kind attentions shown them.

to a cigar manufacturer in another part

and never heard OF until recently. \
short time ago some party In Chicago
received letter from man residing
in this place, in which the st. Clairsville
man stated that he was about going out
ofbusiness and had a lot OF cigar stamps
on hands that he wished to dispose Of
and was willing to sell them at large

SUDDEN SUMMONS.
Alsx. AcHiohol Breaks His Neck While
Lighting Cigar.


Saturday afternoon there occurred on
the Island q sudden accidental death,
under rather strange and peculiar cir
cumstanees. About 8 O'Clock on the
afternoon mentioned, it appears that
Alexander McNichol, residing at No.
III Zane street, while slightly under
the influence Of liquor, while standing
by the stove attempted to light cigar
and in 30 doing lost his balance and fell,
and either fractured his skull or broke
his neck or both. Although no one was
in the room at the time, this theory is
carried ont by the fact that on the front
plate Of the stove was found cigar bent
into the shape Of pot-hook and mashed
at the end. Mrs. McNichol had gone for
a bu,ket Of coal and while out heard
heavy fall or thud; calling her son
Robert, they fastened to the kitchen
where she bad left McNichol and there
they found him lying on the floor, be-
side the stove with a slight cut on the
top OF his head, where it
is supposed he came in contact
with the stove. His wife and son pick
ed him up and placed him in sitting
position on chair. Holding him in
this position they looked into his face,
and observing that his lower jaw had
dropped and that strange pallor over
spread his countenance. Robert exclaim.
ed, 81 believe he is dead" and convey
ing the body to a lounge in the sitting
room ran for a physician. Being
unable to find doctor, the neighboring
residents were called in, but the poor
unfortunate was plainly beyond all
earthly assistance.
Squire Bulger was notified and i'm
mediately summoned the following cor
oners jury:
Mr., Chas. Lukens was foreman, and
James Demens, John Hoon, George
Deiters, W. B. Lukens, Mute Etsler,
Samuel Pemberton, Thee. Hidenger,
Mark Douglass, James Hammond, and
Messrs. Chambers and Little were men,
bers. The witnesses testified as stated
above, and the jury returned a verdict
OF accidental death by falling. 1t was
the opinion OF the jury that the neck
was broken, although in the absence OF
any physician it could not be positively
stated.
The deceased was about fifty years
old, and leaves wife and three chill
dren. He was pointer and bridge
builder by trade, and was always en-
ployed on work on the suspension
bridge that required nerve, until within
the past few years, when his intemper-
ate habits rendered him too feeble to
follow his occupation, and excepting
few days work now and then as a street
laborer, has passed his time in idleness
and dissipation. He possessed more
than ordinary intelligence, but his
habits got AWAY with him.
