About o'clock John Il. Boggess, Jr., killed
his wife aud daughter while In a nt Of
mental deraugement, induced, It seems,
by strong drink. The iacts as told By
Mr.. William H. Nay, who was the first to
come to tho rescue OF the family, are as
follows: Boggess has been thought 10 be at
times not altogether right in his mind for
years past, md, when drinking, entirely
insane. About one o'clock this
morning be attacked his wife
while in bed. She called a daughter, who
assisted her mother to get loose from her
father. Taey then fled the house and he
grabbed a large iron poker and followed
them. Overtaking his wife he bit her two
blows, the second one on tho back OF the
head, which proved fatal. It seems the
daughter killed, who was thirteen years old,
came up 10 help her mother, and with one
blow be killed her also. The other chill.
dren fled, and when Mr.. Nay arrived he
found mother and daughter lying together
on the road near their home entirely dead.
He found Boggess in the house in
state OF intoxication. He denied the kill
ing, or knowing anything about it or being
intoxicated.
Bogsess was a well-to.do.farmer living on
Rock Camp in Wade district. Of this
county, and Of an old and highly respect

excitementand is without any parallel in

hard to predict.

West yIrgiulA'a Vote.

The Richmond Dispaleho ol Saturday pre-.
diets that West Virginia will give her
usual Democratic majority on the 10th of
this month. II would DO difficult 10 define
perhaps with accuracy what Is the usual
Democratic majority Of West Virginia.
Some times It is mora and some times less.
In this Congressional district two years
ago 1t was rather less than more, and some
people are rash enough 10 believe, and
even to assert, that It will be less this year
than 1t was two years ago. II this should
turn out to be the case, and we have known
more improbable events to occur, It might
happen that the very small margin by
which Col. Ben Wilson went TO Congress-
two years ago as tho representative Of the
First West Virginia district would be OK
hausted to such an extent us to result In a
decided insuiliciency Of votes for
his Democratic heir e1pcctant. The
public mind seems ut least to be undergo
ing u change iu this direction. II :herc is
nota daily rising tide in favor Of sending
Gen. Goi to Congress from this district
then all the usual signs Of "a coming change
are deceptive. This information is not
marked private and confidential and We
do not charge anything for it. Our friend
OF the Richmond Dispatch, for whose Dem.
ocratic sehsibilities We have the highest
regard, should not be rash ia estimating
the Democratic majority too high this year
in West Virginia, This Is an "off" year

off on election day. There is sign Of

CHICAGO, October LA New York special
purpors to give the inside history OF the
celebrated Morcy letter on the Chinese
question, whose publication carried Cali
iornia against Garfield in the last I'resi-
dental election. The dispatch is to- the
effect that John !. Davenport has been at
work for twenty.three months in the ell
dcavor to find the authorship Of the iorg-
cry; that he finally got the whole story,
its conception and execution, together
with The confession OF the forger, and that
he is about to publish the facts in pamphlet
form; that the man who forged the docu-
ment is named II. II. fIadiey, Il renegade
Republican, in the employ Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, and that some
leading spirits in that body were cognizapt
Of and approved the forgery. The story
told is 10 the effect that Iladley, a pro-
fcssed leader OF a certain body OF
voters in New York, wrote General
Garfield, asking an explanation and ans
wer 10 the Credit Mobiler charge. The
letter was answered by private Secretary
