The little town of Matamoras on the

enjoying a tremendous sensation. AS the
story runs, IN 1864 New York syndicate
sent man to that town with $4,000 to
prospect for oil in the kanawha region,
He went to Archer Fork, little aboye
Matamoras, and stopped with man
named Ward, whom he took into his conf.
dencc. They prospected about the Coun-
try "A while, and then the man suddenly
disappeared, Ward saying he bad got dis
couragcd and returned home. 1t appears,
however, that Ward and two other men
named West and Kirkbrde had cOnsplred
together and robbed and murdered the
man. Ward has since died, and now
West, on his death bed, confesscs the
crime, pointing out where the dead man
had been buried, and saying he could be
identified by a diamond ring the murder
ers had left upon his finger. The body
has been found with the ring as indicated
by Vests confession, and Kirkbride, who
is now old and rich, has been placed under

We made mention. some weeks ago of al
extraordinary trial IN progress at Nyire-
ghaza, in Hungary, of some Jews accused
OF killing a young Christian girl, Esther
Solymosi, IN order to procure her blood tC
mix IN the passover bread. The stranges
feature of the trial was that the son of the
principal person accused was the chic
witness against him, claiming to haYe seer
his father through an opening in the door
of the synagogue cut the girls throat
The boys testimony was outthr)wn by the
simple process OF going TO the spot and
demonstrating that from where lie claimed
he stood it was impossible TO have seen
what he described. The most inhuman
tortures were resorted to to compel the &C
Cused to confess but nothing was eXtorted
in that way. Finally the lnhumanity
practiccd at the trial became so outrageous
that the government lnterfered, the result
of which was that the prosecution soon
broke down and the accused have been
found mot guilty" 1t was shown to be a
sheer case of Jewish persecution, disgrace
full to the 10Th century.
