CoUNTY-AN OLp Man AND HIS Two
DAUGHTERS MURDERED FOR MeSEY.-
The annals Of DoGdridge county
never had recorded a more heinous
or dastardly murder than was per-
petrated at West Union on Wednes-
day night of last week. The victims
of this horrible deed are a man
named Barney Doyle and his two
daughters, aged and 10 years, who
were murdered for the money sup
posed to be in the house. The facts
are about as follows: Doyle was
known to have considerable money,
which he kept secreted about the
house. He has store room and
dwelling combined. The last person
noticed about the premises on the
night of the murder was a man nam
ed Kenny, man having a bad repu-
tation. 1t is supposed he and others
effected an entrance into the house
for the purpose of robbery and being
surprised by Doyle a fight ensued
and Doyle was murdered with hatch
ct, and they then wreaked their ven
geance upon the little girls. They
were all horribly cut and mangled,
but the eldest of the children recov-
cred sufficiently to state that one of
their murderers was a worthless and
hard character named Harper. A
chest was found broken open and in
close proximity $50 dellar note had
been dropped by the murderers in
their hurry to escape. Intense ex-
citement. prevailed in the community
when the murder became known and
the man Kenny was arrested, and it
was with the greatest difficulty the
Sheriff saved him from being lynched.
The citizens turned out en- masse in
quest of the man Harper. Another
man named Weakley was arrested as
one of the murderers, and as he and
his wife had a black mailing scheme
against Doyle, the feeling against
him is very strong.
A body of infuriated citizens made
an attempt to get the man Kenny out
of the hands of the Sheriff and lynch
him, but they were frustrated. They
declared however that they would
wait until the other two men were sc
cured, when all three should answer
for their crimes to Judge Lynch.
LATER.--A dispatch of the 9th SAYS:
Mary, the only survivor, is thought
to be on the road to recovery. She
ate part of an orange this evening,
and said it tasted good, asking for
more. She recognizes persons at
once and speaks intelligently. Medi-
cine and food are given by her nurse
only, and a guard is kept about the
house for safety. It's believed if this
was not the case the child might be
given poison to prevent any trace to
the guilty parties by recovery. Every
preca ution is being used to bring to
light the perpetrators of tile hellish
crime. Kinney was moved to Clarks-
burg by Detective Haggerty last
night for fear Of lynching.

PEOPLE are not done wondering and
talking over the result of our rail
road election yet. Mr.. Nimrod Ridg-
way, an esteemed subscriber in In
diana, wrote us last week to express
his disgust at our action. We think
our people are misunderstood. We
have no persons who are opposed to
railroads. They are all in favor of
railroads, but do not approve the
principle of building them by taxa
ton. We can assure our friend
Ridgway that we are going to have
one or two railroads yet in the near
future if we did vote against sub
scription.

Local RAILROAD NOTES. The Con
nellsville Courier says it is rumorcd
that the Southwest road will be under
contract within sixty days.
The engineers are busily engaged
marking off work on the line of the
road, that everything may be in trim
for the contractors as soon as the
jobs are awarded.
The extension of the Waynesburg
and Washington narrow gauge to
Blacksmith seems to be fixed fact.
The subscription Of $4,000 from
Blacksville has been raised and we
learn that all the other conditions
asked by the company will be com
pled with, and that the work will be
under way this Spring.
Work has already begun on the
grading for the extension of the
Southwest railroad along the Monon-
gahela river just below Geneva.
This is on the Cats run route, but
whether the work is bona fide or for
the purpose of keeping Vanderbilt
off, is not known. 1t is stated, how
ever, that the contracts for grading
the road by that route will be let
in a few days. nionto,on Stand

SOME changes have recently been
made in the clerical force of the
Wheeling postoffice. The night let
ter clerk has been promoted and We
learn from Wheeling paper that a
colored man has been appointed to
fill the vacancy. The paper says
"The vacancy thus created in the
night clerkship will be filled by Rob
ert Grant, well known and highly
respected young colored man, late
head waiter at the Mcclure house.
The latter appointment is an innova-
tion on old customs long contem-
plated by Col. Sterling, and will be
regarded with favor by the colored
people, who are justly entitled to a
representative in the local postal ser
vice"

.Eesse Il. Fitch.


Died at his residence in Morgan
town,on Thursday morning, March
%, 1883, of pulmonary consump-
ton, Jesse Jasper Fitch, in the 59th
year of his age.
Jesse j. Fitch was born in Greens
boro, Greene county, Pa, January
81, 1925. His father, Arthur Fitch,
was a native of Connecticut, and his
mother, Fannie Wheat, native of
Pennsylvania and of the Wheat fam
ily that live in Wheeling. Soon af-
ter the birth of Jesse j. his parents
removed to West Virginia and lived
at Wheeling. Fetterman. Evansville
and then Morgantown, when some
years ago they died and were buried.
Jesse J. received his final educa-
ton at Rector College, at Prunty-
town, under President Wheeler. in
lS44-5 and in lS47 was appointed
Deputy Sheriff in Preston county,
which position he held for two years,
then in lS49 he removed to Monon-
gala to accept a similar position
here, and has lived in Morgantown
ever since He served here for many
years in that position, and was sub.
sequently justice of the peace and
mayor for several terms. He was also
engaged in merchandising and in the
drug business for years. He was
Deputy Assessor of internal revenue
under Jno. r. Drabell and Deputy
Collector under General Brown sew
eral years, and in all his official posi-
tions he discharged his duties with
fidelity, tact and judgment that met
the approval of all parties,
His first wife, and the mother of
his only child, DIR. James Plummer
Fitch, was Rebecca, the daughter of
the late James johnson, and his last
wife, now his mourning widow. who
nursed him so long and tenderlv, is
daughter of the late Chas. w. Fin
NELL the only near relatives surviv-
ing him being his widow and son,
and his sister, the wife of Harvey
Stagers, ESQ.,, all now living in Nor
gantown.
For some time previous to his
death Mr.. Fitch was confined to his
room, and talked calmly about his
approaching death. 1t had no ter.
rors for him, indeed, when he founl
it to be inevitable, he welcomed its
approach, and died in the faith of his
fathers, having some time before
been confirmed in the Protestant
Episcopal Church.
On Saturday afternoon the funeral
services took place at his residence.
The Rev. Geo. A. Gibbons read the
beautiful funeral service of the Prot
estant Episcopal Church, and then
6elitting discourses were pronounced
by Rev. Gibbons and Rev. Hughes of
the NJ. +. Church, and singing by
the choir Of the NJ. +. Church. After
which his remains were taken charge
Of by the members of the Morgan
town Union Lodge of f. and A. NJ.
and followed by large concourso OF
relatives and friends, were taken To
Oak Grove Cemetery where the last
sad rites of interment were performed
by the Masonic order.
And SO we babe farewell to the last
of Jesse j. Fitch on this earth, but
the memory of his many good traits
of character dwell with us and will
dwell with us forever. He was a
citizen and patriot; a true and de
voted husband; a kind and indulgent
father; an upright man; q just judge
and true christian.
The Lord gave, and the Lord hath
taken away; blessed be the name Of
the Lord" M

W. A. LYON VS.. THE BOARD OF Ed
ucATIoN OF MoRGANTowN DIsTRIcT.-
A suit with the above title was heard
by Squire Staggers on Saturday
last. The suit was between W. A.
Lyon, teacher of the Woodland school
during the past Winter, and the Dis
trict Board. Mr.. Lyon is the man
about whom there has been SO much
talk for cruelty whipping Elliott
Hartman. The object of the suit was
to recover $50 wages by the plaintiff
that the Board refuses to pay upon
the plea that they had directed
Lyons dismissal. The Board, it
seems, did order Mr.. Lyons dismis-
sal. but by some little technicality
it failed to he effective. The suit re-
suited in a judgment being rendered
in favor Of Lyon for the amount
claimed and costs. The defense de
clare their intention of carrying the
matter into court, but we hope it may
be amicabIy adjusted without further
difficulty.
