The passenger rate war between the north and

officials who hate railroad wars are very anxious

Is inexcusable, for arbitration offers an ade-
quate and complete remedy for all differences.
II claim cannot be adjusted in this way it is
untenable; if company is afraid TO arbitrate
matters in dispute the chances are that IL is in
the wrong No officer of a railway has the
moral right to refuse to refer differences TO dis
interested Judges for determination, and thus
force another corporation to violent measures.
As the matter now stands, only the Chicago d
Indianapolis Airline is selling at ST. rate from
Indianapolis to Chicago, and all lines are selling
at a 81 rate from Chicago to Indianapolis The

A Growing Success.

The benefit for the widow of the late
James Hamilton by Hearne's Hearts OF
Oak" Company at the Opera House last
evening was grand success. Every seat
was filled down stairs, and the gallery
nearly e.half. The weather was not as
pleasant as might have been, but the storm
did not deter the people from turning out.
The play was well received. The wreck of
the Nantucket in the first scene was we'll
laid, and the interior Of the old mill was
true to nature.
From appearances we would judge that
nearly seven hundred dollars was taken
in, a very neat sum for Mrs. Hamilton.
Nothing was to be paid for but the gas con-
sumed, and Mr.. James A. Hearne and his
excellent company deserve a rousing good
house to night for their liberality shown
last evening 10 one whose money built our
cosy little temple Of amusement. Let
everyone who can attend go this evening"
and salute company who has acted so
generously in a worthy cause.

THE INQUEST.
Partial Hearing OF Testimony, and Adj
iourned Until Today.

When Coroner Schultze arrived at the
scene of the murder he proceeded at once
to hold an inquest, and for that purpose
empaneled jury composed OF the follow
ing William Myles, foreman
John Webb, N. Wilhelm, Henry Kerstep,
NJ. Stein, Daniel Conrad, Valentine Giesey,
G. G. Roth, George Ii. Carnahan, Conrad
Schambra John Roemer and Fred. Wiedl
The body Of the murdered physician was
placed upon q lounge, and after taking an
official view OF the CHASTITY spectacle, the
Jury listened to testimony.
Robert Schneile, brother of the muir
derer was the first witness. As was natural,
he was much agitated and part of his testi-
mony was mechanically given. The SUBJ
stance of it is given in his story above.
Wendell Dickescheid, brother.in.law OF
the deceased Doctor, was called, AMI gave
his version of the tragedy. He had been
at supper with the Doctor when the sum.
mons came TO go into the store. 1t seemed
not two minutes until the shot came, and
then Wendell had rushed out to tue store to
find the Doctor stretched out q corpse.
Guenther had come at him with the pistol
loaded, and. after following him back, had
turned suddenly and fired the shot at him
self. His testimony was of mo special i'm
portance as far as throwing any light on
the tragedy was concerned.
Officer Joe Barum detailed the manner
of the arrest, which is given above. Coroner
Schultze then said it was desirable that the
jury should have the result Of the autopsy
before il and accordingly an adjournment
was effected to o'clock this morning.
The Coroner decided, under the circum-
stances, to put Robert Schnelle under a
bond OF 81, 600 for his appearance as q wit.
ness before the grand jury.

TheInfe Cant Noise.

The REGIsTSR Of last Thursday contained
q news item announcing the death Of Capt.
T. II. Noise, Of Louisville, which stated
that he died from an overdose OF morphine,
and also that he was 8 slave 10 opium. Mr.,
Noise, of this City,s brother Of the deceased,
told reporter yesterday that the item was
entirely sensational aud false as regarded
the cause Of his brothers death and his
habits. The Captain, in fact, died from
neuralgia OF the heart, from which he had
long suffered. This was brought about by
an injury sustained during the war. He
was severely wounded at Averysboro. n.
C., in Shermsn's march TO the sea. The
leader OF his leg Mas entirely shot away,
which first resulted in neuralgia of the
head and afterwards o. the heart. The de-
ceased never took, inhis entire life over FIVE
grains o. morphine. This was taken in
cases of great pain. He never used opium
at any time.

A BLOODY MURDER.
Dr. G. Sehuchardt Shot and KILLED by
His Nephew.

Dr. G.. sehuchardt Shot and KILLED by
His Nephew.
Shortly after O'Clock last evening, per.
sons in the vicinity OF the corner of Main
and Twenty first streets, Centre Wheeling,
were startled by the report of pistol shot
ringing out sharp and clear in the frosty
air, but muffled as by an inclosure. At the
same time a cry Of murder" came from
the apothecary shop OF DR.. G. Schuc-
hardt, No. 2l17 Main street. A crowd
rushed into the store, where their
eyes were assailed by bloody spectacle.
Near the prescription case and close to the
door of an adjoining room, lay the body OF
DR.. Schuckhardt, still quivering with de.
parting life, while from his head poured
thick, dark and clotted stream OF inter.
mingled blood and brains. Even while the
first corners gazed the last spark OF life
f'uttered and was extinguished.
The first shot had been followed almost
Immediately by a second, and in the din
ing room, two rooms back, young man,
still grasping the revolver he had turned
upon himself, was lying half PROSTATE, a
ball in his head and the crimson stream
trickliug from his left temple. This was
Guenther Schnelle, the murderer, who,
having lust killed DR.. Schuchardt, had
endeayored to precipitate himself
into the unknown and follow him. The
ball, though we'll directed and deep in his
head, had failed to take his life, and he
staggered to'his feet just as the revolver
was taken from him. A crowd OF relatives.
INN ates OF the house. frightened and
blanched to a whiteness only equalled by
the corpse, huddled about the room, con-
epiouous among them being Robert
Schnelle, the brother of the muir
derer, Wendell Dickescheid, brother-in-
law Of the murdered man, his wife
and daughter. Dickescheid pointed to
Guenthel exclaiming: ARREST that man,
he is the man," upon which Officer Barum,
who had come in, took the murderer off.
The crowd, appalled, and yet curious, knew
nothing and gazed intently at the corpse,
while others fastened out and sent word to
Coroner Schultze. The doors were then
locked, after clearing the room, and only
few reporters kept the vigil by the dead,
until the functiOnaryS arrival.

Full Particulars OF the Trio OF
Tragedies Interviews. Tsstl-

For some time past, the city has been in
a seeming lethargic state as far as happen
iDgs were concerned, but from this somno-
lent state came tragic awakening yester-
day, in the shape Of bloody murder, cold,
cruel and unprovoked, the attempted
suicide of the murderer, now in a critical
condition, and a sad suicide Of re-
spectacle citizen. The usually
quiet Fifth ward was the the.
atre of these tragic events,
which occurred within a stones throw of
each other and all are enveloped in a
sombre wrapping of mystery into which
the light has not been thrown. The causes
which led to both deaths are merest sur
mise, of which one will never be IN
rayeled, while the other will 60 to the
courts for adjudication. The particulars OF
both are given below.

THE MURDERER INTERVIEWED.
He Curses the Victim OF His Bullet
and Wants TO Die.


and Wants TO Die.
A REGISTER reporter visited the Jail
shortly after o'clock for the purpose of
learning the probable result OF the muir
derer's wound, and of cleaning from him
the causes which led to the bloody deed he
had committed. Schnelle was lying on acct
in the second cell in the lower left hand
tier, and at his side were Drs. Stifel and
Hoge, who were probing for the ball. The
wound inflicted by the would-be suicide is
about half an inch above and two inches
in the rear OF the left eye and perpendicu-
lar to the surface, and from it thick, dark
red blood was slowly Aowiny, dying his
face and shirt with crimson stains. He was
evidently suffering little or no pain, and
bore the probing and examination OF his
wound without a murmur. In the pres
ence OF the reporter probe, in the hands
of DR.. HOge, was inserted TO depth Of one
and one-fourth inches without reaching
the bottom of the wound, but no signs OF
the ball could be discovered, and the physi-
cisns did not care to 60 deeper into the
cavity OF the scull. The scull is evidently
fractured in three directions the fractures
meeting at the point OF impact OF the bull
let, making the wound a very serious one,
but, the physicians believe, not necessarily
fatal.
In the course OF an interview with the
reporter, the wounded man gave his name
as Guenther Schnelle, aged thirty-one
years, and stated that he was born a. the
corner of Main and South streets, where
the Arcade saloon now stands, Some years
seo, he stated, he had clerked in DR..
Schuchardt's drug store, but afterwards
left the city for short time. Returning
be obtained employment in the plumbing
establishment of Mr.. Oscar Seeley, on Main
street. South Side, where he has since been
working. When asked the cause of his
bloody act, he said "Dr. Schuchardt is
my daddy, and d--n him, he wouldn't
own me- Further thsa this, he would
MT go.
In response to a query from the physi.
clan as to whether he would take medicine
to quiet him and ease his pain, he said:
"D-n il. don't give me any drugs; give
me good drink OF whisky and revolver
Give me another bullet; that's all want"
The physician finished the work of dress
ing his wound at $50. and he was locked
mp in his cell and left alone with his
thoughts.

WHO Is GUENTHER sCHNELLE.
what Led TO the Murder-A Very Mys-
teriouA Case.

Guenther Schnelle, the murderer, is said
TO be the son OF the brother Of Mrs. Schuc'
hardt, now dead, and this was so testified
by his brother Robert, but in Jail, last
night, he said he killed Schuchardt be-
cause he was his father and refused TO &C.
knowledge him as his son. This makes up
very complicated case, especially as no
one knows what passed between slayer and
victim prior to the shot. Guenther was at
his sister-in.law's night before last and
thsre told her he intended killing Sehuo-
hardt and himself, and now his only regret
is that he but half carried out his contract.
No one knew of any difficulty existing be-
tween the men, but the general belief was
that Guenther wanted money, which the
Doctor refused him.
Guenther has complained Of the distribu.
ton of the propety, but really has NO right
TO do so, even though he be, as he claims,
the Legitimate son of the dead doctor.
There is no will, certain legal formalities
having dispensed with the necessity for
one and, as Robert testified, Guenther's
father gets his share of the estate, the sons
to receive it after his death.
The explanation then, given by Guenther
He was my daddy and d IN him he
wouldn't own me"-is the only one offered.
But it is said by the authorities that some
of the facts are being concealed and Will,
when brought out, throw much light on
what is now dark and bloody mystery.

The South Wheeling glass works are run

are making over time" To place all par
ties concerned right before the public, we
give the following in relation to the work
ing of this industry:
This establishment when running full
capacity use three furnaces. At present
they are only running two of them. The
largest one is idle, having been stopped for
repairs some time ago, therefore some Of
their workmen are not making full or even
half time, but those engaged at the two
furnaces, and they are q msjority OF their
