FOR WIFE MURDER.
An ExcIting Trial at oIarksburs-N Nature
aE fhn l,naA -----

An Exciting Trial IatClarksburE-Nat at
OF the Case,
Special Dispatch to the lntellIgcncer
CL4RxspuRo, January l6.-The trial Of
John r. Boggess, Jr., for the murder Of his
wife on October LIST, last, was commenced
in the Circait Court, Judge Fleming presid-
ing. No,wiie murderer has ever been tried
here before. The Court House today was
literally jammed with a crowd Of curious
spectators. Seyenty.iour jurors were called
before an acceptable jury was made up.
The defense Is insanity. Hon. John J. Da-
Wis represents the defendant and Ma
for Moore, the Prosecuting Attorney
Of Harrison county, ia assisted by
A. L. Hustled. The public interest 40
iar seems more aroused than in the mail
robbery cases lately tried here in the
United States Court, considering the high
standing Of the Boggess and the Robinson
family, into which he married, the terrible
character OF the tragedy for which the
prisoner Is on trial, the kind Of defense he
Is making, and the ability Of the counsel
engaged. There y no doubt the case will
long be remembered as the most important
eyer tried in this county.

SUNSET Cox is not only joker, he is a
shrewd, discerning man. He desires, as
long since he he has, to be Speaker Of the
House, and he is throwing himself full
length at the free traders Of his party who
make up the bulk OF it. ain the next con-
test for the Speakership," he says, "the
tariiI question will be an important ele-
ment, and my record as a tariff reiormer
will, | take it, do no me no harm in the
South and West" BY revenue reformer"
Mr.. Cox means free trader-which has a
harsh sound. Yetthere are neighborhoods
in which the Democratic party thinks it
wise to play 'possum on the tariff ques-
tion.

LONDON, January l6.-A Dublin CORES.
pondent says there are two distinct secret
societies here, one belongs to the old head
centre Stephens Fenian party, which ad-
vocates open warfare, and the other is
known as the Senate or Council, a body
that advocates murder. An effort will be
made to prove that some Of the prisoners
recently taken into custody have been in
the company. One certain day persons
were posted in certain parts Of the city for
the purpose Of assassinating high officials,
but the attempt was postponed for better
opportunity, which never arose. It is
slated it will be shown there was plot to
destroy the Lord Lieutenant and his escort
by bombs thrown from unoccupied houses.

a aEcENt decision Of the Supreme Court
Of. Pennsylvania concerning railroad
passes is attracting the attention oil rail-
road men and railroad journals. Mrs.
Ellen 0'IIara, vile Of an employe, riding
on free pass, was scalded in a collision.
She was awarded S, 1000 damages. On the
lace Of the pass was this reservation:
Conditioned that the person accepting
talS ptss assumes all risk Of accident to his
person or property without claims for dam
ages on this corporation" Fhe Court
held that the condition was not
good because "a common carrier
eau not protect himself by special contract
from liability for negligence. II the free
pass in this case was unlawful the con-
ductor should have demanded tho regular
fare, aud his not doing 50 did not make
O'llata or his vile tresspaGsers or destroy
their rights as passengers" Judgment was
therefore affirmed. 1t is to be presumed
that 4 railway company does not issue q
i,ars out ot philanthropy; 1t has received
or expects to receive value. II it were
held liable for alldapasss to passengers

PROBABLE MURDER.
The MuiiIated Body OF an Old Sailor
Found In Long BOX.

NORFOLK, Va, January 1e.-Considera-
BILE excitement was created here this
morning by o report that a man had been
murdered and his body thrown into B. F.
Richardson's paint shop on Rothery's lane,
a few yards from Main street. The paint
ers going in to work had discovered the
body Of a dead man lying with one OF his
legs bent under him in a long box, and his
head resting against barrel. His face
was much discolored with blood and
blood lay in every direction. A coroner's
jury was summoned, anditwas asccrtained
that the mans name was Abe Griggs, who
had been staying at the Green House, a
sailor boarding house close by; that he
came there on Thursday night intoxicated
from Elizabeth City, N. O.; that he was a
sailor and wanted to ship. The jury deci-
ded that Griggs came TO his death from
violence Of sort unknown to the jury. The
general belief Is that shocking murder
has been committed. Arrests will probably
be made at once. Fl

LONDON, January l6.-The beach from
Harwich to Aldeburgh is srewn with
wreckage from the British ship "Pride Of
the Ocean," from Hamburg for New York.
A case containing dynamite was found by
the coastguard. The fact that the wreckage
is in exceedingly small pieces led to the
conjecture that The loss OF the vessel was
caused BY the explosion Of dynamite.
