PARKRRsBuRG, w. Va, March 9.-0ur
Circuit Court has been occupied for several
days in the arguments Of counsel upon a
motion to award a new trial in the cele.
brated aul.Marquis murder case, in which
Paul was convicted Of murder in the first
degree. After the verdict was rendered
Judge Furgison, Of Charleston, came into
the case. Ike arguments were able and
exhaustive. Judge Jackson oyerruled all
the points Of the counsel, except one, viz:
The expression OF juryman against the
prisoner before the trial began, in which
evidence was conflicting. But the Judge
giving all doubt to the prisoner gave new
trial. II will probably be long and tedious.

ADouBLE EXECUTION.
Two Murderers Pay the Penalty Of the
Law in New York.

New YoRx, March 9.-McGloin and
Majoine were hanged at S:12 this morning;
both men were pronounced dead at s:22.
Pasquale Malone awoke at o'clock this
morning and dressed with care. McGloin
had to be awakened half an hour later.
Both said they felt well. Last night they
had expressed an intention OF sitting up
all night, but shortly after midnight re-
tired. They seemed anxious to devote
every moment Of the few remaining
hours to religious conversation and exer-
cises with their spiritual advisers.
After they had arisen Fathers Dunan-
guet and Arxcletus went to their cells
and Joined them in prayer. The men then
went to the chapel In the prison to attend
mass. To do so they had to pnss under
the gallows McGloin bore the sight with
frmness, but Malone burst forth in tears
and buried his face in his handkerchief.
A number OF boys and women prisoners
gathered in the chapel when mass was Cele-
brated. Both attended the devotions with
thegreatest apparent piety, and partook OF
the holy sacrament. On their return from
the chapel to their cells they had again to
pass beneath the gallows, but neither
seemed to notice It.
They spoke few words Of greeting to
two acquaintances and some OF the keepers
on the way back to their cells, and their
deineanor was calm and collected. Short
ly after this they partook OF breakfast with
apparent relish, and McGloin conversed
pleasantly with his counsel. He thanked
him for his services, and then bade him
last farewell. The religious ministrations
OF the clergvmen were then resumed and
continued up to the time when the Sheriff
and under Sheriff announced that the
hour had come for the reading OF the con-
demned mems death warrants. Both men
bore the terrible ordeal without tiinching,
and then the executioner appeared and
fixed the fatal nooses about their necks
and the black caps on their heads.
The religious exhortations were continu.
ed by the priests aud joined in by both OF
the condemned. Both men were firm
when marched to the gallows, on reaching
which they fell on their knees and prayed
aloud with the priests. The drop fell at
S:12, three minutes after the prisoners
entered the yard. Death was instantaneous.
CLAYTON, ALA, March 9.-Bob Cochran,
colored, convicted in February for the mur.
der Of NJ. L. Drew, near this place, was
hanged to-day. The gallows was erected
half mile from the Court House and en-
closed. Several hundred were present; the
hanging was witnessed by officials only and
Of the press. Having eaten
a hearty breakfast and taken drink Of
whisky, he lit cigar, and surrounded by
the guard, took his seat on the coffin and
was driven to the gallows. He confessed
his guilt in firm voice, and he sought the
negroes to regard the whites as their best
friends, &c. The trap was sprung at l:20
P. NJ. He was dead in ten minutes. The
body was turned over 10 the purchasers,

Talk with Judge b. n. cOehrai.

The prospect Of the completion Of the
Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad to this

been much discussed in the press OF
Wheeling and vicinity. Briefly stated by
way Of refreshing the memory Of pub

OF road remains 10 be constructed.
Whether this will ever be built Is q ques-
ton which virtually concerns the future Of
Wheeling. There are interests which
would profit by the abandonment Of the
original project, and the operation Of the
road as now finished, and these interests
are active. Wheeling has done little IL
anything to counteract their effect. But

ANABLE FRIEND AT COURT
in the person Of Judge R. Il. Cochran, late
ofthis city, now OF Toledo. whose. .connec.
ton with the road Is well known. The
Judge arrived in the city on Thursday on
business connected with the road and the
organization called the Knights OF Honor,
OF which he is the Supreme Dictator in this !
country. Areporter called on him yestes-
day, and asked his view OF the status and
prospects oi the road, and what hope there
is Of It's reaching Wheeling.
The Judge said that he could not prom
Use the completion Of the road. He had
done all he could TO secure this, but what
the ultimate result would be he could not
predict At the recent meeting at Toledo
he had read a report in which be expressed
the opinion that to make valuable prop
erty Of the road 1t should be built through
as projected. The present line OF the road
might become fair investment but the
two sections together would be the most
desirable railroad property in this part Of
the country. He had hopes that the orig
inal plans would be carried out, but these
were based only on the fact that the men
who control the policy Of the road are men
OF experience and sense, and must recog-
nize the importance Of the completion Of
the line, and the additional fact that q large
sum OF money had already been expended
on the road bed this side Of Bowerstown,
which money would be thrown awayif
that portion OF the route were abandoned.
A fact which Is suggestive, II not alarm.
ing to Wheeling, is that the leading Of
the Wheeling < Lake Erie are interested
in the Pittsburgh, Cleveland & Toledo
road, which might indicate that they saw

favorable terms than the other road.

committee in charge OF the bill, "by giving
TO soldiers at least the same rights that
citizens enjoy; and by limiting the time for
the presentation OF citizens claims, allow,
ing them no longer time than that given to
soldiers. 1t places the citizen and soldier
on the same footing, by enacting that all

at Which stirring Speeches were Made
by the Master Minds of the County

New YORK, Dec. 21.-Two hundred and
fifty members of the New England society,
New York, partook of their annual dinner
this evening, at Delmonico's. Manville

Russell Sage. After brief address of
welcome by President Cooper he stated
that owing to the absence os President Ar
thur and Gov. Cleveland, the toasts in
their honor would not be responded to.
Loud calls were made for Gen. Grant, who
finally rose, and said good humoredly, he
had only accepted the invitation on con-
dision that he would not be called upon to
speak, and excused himself in his usual
grassful msnner. The first regular toast
sForefather's day." was responded to by
Mr.. Evarts. After an intro
duction, in which the speaker
announced he did not intend 10
speak from party sand point, he
launched out into bitter invective
