ANOTHER MURDER.
A Mans Brains Knocked Out With
a Club.
The Fatal Ending of An Old Feud-0ne
Man Dead and Another Fleeing
From Justice.
!Specidl 70 the ReQisler.

BELLAIRE, July 3.-York Township,
this county, has added another
brutal murder to the already balck
record OF the past year. Henry Bell
vivve and Joseph Doty, both residents of
the. .townseip named, have not been good
friends for long time, and on Saturday
evening last the two men met on the road,
and the bloody encounter that it has been
expected would follow their meeting in an
out-of the-way place ensued.
Bellville has repeatedly made the threat
that he would kill Doty if he ever had an
opportunity. 1t came on Saturday even
ing when the two men met
Bellville was armed with a heavy club.
They fought for their lives, and both men
were covered with blood, Bellville being
the attacking party Finally, after long
struggle, Bellville gave Doty well directed
blow on the head with his club which felled
him to the ground insensible.
Bellyille left at once and has so far made
good his escape. He left Doty lying on the
road insensible, where he was found by
some parties sometime afterwards. He was
removed to his home and cared for, but
the blow had fractured his skull and he
died on Sunday nightIin horrible agony.
The murderer has not been apprehended,
and up to this time the matter has been
kept unusually quiet, but the York town
ship people are now greatly incensed, and
diligent search will be made to bring the
guilty man into the courts.
We are not advised as to whether either
of the men are married or not, and it is i'm
possible to obtain full particulars at this
time.
York township is fast earning the repu-
tation of 1.-The dark and bloody ground
of Belmont county, this being the third
time that human blood has been shed in
that township within less than three years.
The first case was that of Mrs. Warren, who
murdered her husband in cold-blood, and
escaped with the light sentence OF two
years in the penitentiary, which she is now
serving. The next case was that of Benz.
Zurcher, crazy man, who murdered his
aged father under the belief that he was
Diyinely inspired so to do. He was SEN
fenced to the penitenuary for life, and is
now in the insane ward Of that institution,
a hopeless maniac.

He then came to Flushing, and when the
pay car passed along he collected the
amount due from the company, leaving the

THE ERA OF GOOD FEELING.
The Reported Withdrawal OF Beaver
Denied-HOping for n Compromise.

Denied-Hoping for Compromise.
PITTSBURGH, July 3.-The correspondent
of the Telegraph, at Philadelphia, tele-
graphs his Ipaper as follows: Rumors are
and have been in circulation here for
week past that Beaver had stated that un-
less the party differances can be healed he
would withdraw from the ticket. These
rumors hayr bc IN industriously circulated
by Democr, nd Independents, but have
been strongly denied by Republicans. Gen.
Beaver is Of course dissatisfied with the
present unhappy condition OF affairs, and
will do all he can to seopre unity OF pur-
pose among all elements OF the party and
consequently victory in November, but
he has not weakened in the face of
the enemy, and / have the best authority
for stating that he is not going TO do so.
He had q rousing reception in Chester
county on Saturday night, and there Sena-
tor Cooper stated that he had authority for
stating that he (Beaver) was willing to
withdraw and submit his claims to the peo-
pie, not once, but hundred times. This
unfortunate expression OF Coopers has
been construed to mean that Beaver would
back out, while it means nothing OF the
sort. What Cooper intended to say was
that he (BeaverI was willing to submit
to any test before the people that would
show whether he or Stewart was the Re
publican favorite, knowing, Of course, that
such test would prove his strength be-
yond all question. Beaver in private after
wards condemned Cooper's foolish Ian
guage. You may depend that Beaver will
not withdraw. He will be here on We'd
nesday, when another informal conference
will be held preliminary to the meeting OF
the State Committee on Wednesday week.
There is growing feeling in favor of a
compromise, but no compromise that will
remove Beaver from the head of the ticket.

Gen. Butler is extremely sensitive on the

NICHOLAS, C. H, w. Va, July 3.--Great
excitement still prevails over the shooting
of William Hensley by the Morrises. since
the murder of Hensley Earnest Morris,
large and powerfully built man, cousin
of Marion and Tompson Morris, and
brother-in-law of Tompson's, has been
walking about town barefooted telling
different persons that his cousins (meanlng
Marion and Tompson) had saved him the
trouble of killing Hensley, as he wouid
have killed him If his cousins had not
Threats have been made that some OF the
relations of the Morrises would take them
from the Jail and set them free, whiie'ea
the other hand there has been talk OF
Lynching Them.
To prevent any trouble that may arise the
iail has been strongly guarded and all nee
essary precautions taken to preserve the
law.
Ernest Morris, who is considered the
leader of the band that has threatened 10
liberate the prisoners, with the galloWs
staring them in the face, is looked upon as
a dangerous man who has figured in the
Nicholas courts on different occasions, once
for attempting to fight duel with man
by the name of Neighborgall.
The trouble first originated about some
fruit Hensley had purchased from one OF
the Morrises, last fall, and since then the
Morrises have had grudge against Hensley,
and on the evdning of the murder the pris-
oners claim that they went to
Hensley's barn and caught him
committing an unmentionable crime
and that Marion Morris shot Hensley IN
the mouth with arevolver, but considering
Hensley's age, and that he was shot through
the body instead of the head, goes pretty
Clearly to show that he was shot while eat
ing his supper, as piece OF onion was
found in his throat during the post NOR
tenn examination, and another piece on the
table.
The Scene of the Murder
was about twenty miles west of Summers
Vile, on a little creek known as Beech Run,
which empties into Line Creek, and Line
Creek into Twenty Mile Creek, and that
into Gapley River about five miles above
Gauley Bridge.
In a rude log cabin on Beech run, almost
shut off the outside world, lived William
Hensley all alone, his nearest neighbor
being one of the men that helped to take
his life. 1t appears that some Eastern
man owned large track of land on Reechs
run, and had placed Hensley on it to take
charge of things.
Hensley seemed to live quiet and peace
full life in his lonely place of abode. In
the summer season he was engaged in rang
ing cattle for some of the farmers, and was
credited with being an attentive man to his
business, and was much respected by his
neighbors.
