a Singular Clue 10 u Tragedy.

About two months ago Mrs Jennie Rose,
burglar. The family consisted of Charlie
Rose, his wife Jennie, who was an inva-
lid, and Miss Nancy Frazier, IL cousin of
Mrs. Rose, who was in the house as help.
Miss Frazier stated that she was awakened
by the sharp report of pistol, and that
as she opened her eyes figure rushed by
her, blowing ont his light as he did so,
and that, jumping out of window, lie es-
capped. Arising from her bed she went to
the bedside of Mrs. Rose, and, placing her
hand upon that lady's head, she was
shocked to feel the clammy touch of hui
man blood. Mrs. Rose said only "Oh.
OH" and expired. The bullet had entered
her eye, and passing through her brain,
haG lodged in her head. The husband,
who MAS an employee of the Air Line
Roal, was sent for, but manifested no
surprise when shown the dead body Of his
ing tho burglary theory improbable, and
suspicion fell upon the husband and Miss
Frazier. The couple were arrested, as was
also Miss Snuggs, with whom it was
claimed that Rose had been intimate.
Both girls denied that they knew any
thing of the affair. After series of OK
aminatiOns, continuing for three weeks,
Rose was discharged. The character Of
Miss Frazier had not been successfully at
tackled, nor was any improper intimacy
with Rose established. Wednesday night
DR.. Carter was hurredly called tG attend
Miss Frazier, who was suffering fearful
commissions in child birth. When the
child WAS born it was found to have but
one eye, the place where the other eye
should be having only the appearance of
deep bullet wound. The child lived but
4 few moments, and ut o'clock Thursday
morning Miss Frazier died also. The cred
ulous think that the birth of Miss Frazier's
child tells the story of the moving cause
OF Mrs. Roses murder. Rose is still in The
city, and on being asked concerning Miss
Frazier's case, answered: 81 will say
nothing. lave had enough trouble
about it,

Died Like Fill Skies.

A curious story is published in the Phil
adclphia Times rs to the cause Of the death
of j. ii. Barry, of Philadelphia. The cir
cumstances that led to his tragic death
came about in this wise: On Tuesday
evening last, in conversation with Miss
A. c. Hahn, Il member of the household,
young Barry spoke of Dickens novel Of
"Oliver Twist" and recalled the death Of
Bill Skies, which he explained from an
engraving depicting the murderer's fate.
lie read from the passage in "Oliver
Twist" where Skies, driven by the mad
dened mob crying for vengeance, seeks as
last resort TO escape from the old house
overlaasing the Thames by lowering
himself from the roof to the water by 4
rope fastened around chimney. The
murderer stands upon the edge Of the roof
and rapidly makes running moose at the
end of the rope. lie holds his knife ready
TO cut the rope when lie has lowered him
self 20 its fullest extent. At the very III
slant he brings the loop over his head,
previous TO slipping it beneath his arm
pits, he looks behind. With cry of terror
he cries, ''rhe eyes again :" staggers as if
struck b. lightning, loses his balance and
tumbles over the parapet. The moose is
at his neck. Swift rs an arrow runs the
rope. The man falls for five and thirty
feet. Then there is sudden jerk, a ter
rite CONFUSION of the limbs and there,
Swaying with the open knife clenched in
his stiilening hand, the murderer hangs.
al DO nor believe the incident could &C.
cur in that manner in reality; it is not
practicable" said young Barry's absorbed
listener.
81 am satisfied that it could happen"
he replied in defense OF his fayOrite au-
thor. 81 will demonstrate to you some
time how it can be done"
Shortly after the discussion the friends
parted, young Barry retiring to his room.
He was found next morning by his father,
hanging by rope thrown over his door,
dead.
The hypothesis of the manner Of his
death was explained by his father. In
bued with the idea that Dickens incident
of Skies death was perfectly practical he
determined to construct an arrangement
by means of which he could convince his
skeptical young lady friend. Getting a
pHablc Mexican rope he fastened one end
to the outer door knob, and, making a
moose in the other end, threw it over the
top of the door. He had evidently calcu-
lated that the height ut which the moose
hung would enable him to touch the floor
with his toes. His death shows that he
had unfortunately not taken into account
his infirmity of Il crippled limb. Climbing
upon the door, he evidently placed one
foot upon the inner door-knob for sup
port, threw the moose loosely over his
head and then jumped to the floor. The
moose frightened, the crippled limb refused
to touch the floor and young Barry DEM
onstrated fatally the practicability of Bill
Skies Geath. The coroncr's jury returned
4 verdict of accidental death.

SOME HINTS TO TEACHERS.
DY AN OLD TEACHER.

Teachers in the public schools are often
sorely puzzled how best to economic the
time of the children at school and give
them the greatest amount of instruction
in the several branches that they may
study, as many children only attend
few months in the winter and many more
cease to attend school at the age of four
teen years, and their whole educational
training must be crowded into very
brief term. How then can they gain the
most knowledge in this short time?
!. As soon rs the child can readily call
the words in reading, or as soon rs he can
read easily in McGutfy's Fourth Reader,
discard the reader and put him to reading
the history Of the United States, either
Cooks Sketches of the Old Dominion
(Which includes West Yirginia), Miss
McGill's History Of Virginia, or some of
the child's histories of the United States.
A very good one is the Eclectic Primary
History" published BY Van Antwerp Il
Co. These books are written in an easy
style and in familiar language, so that
children can soon gain good knowledge
Of United States history, and will be en-
couragcd thereby to read larger works OH
the same subject.
2. AS soon rs the pupils are familiar
with first lessons in geography, skip the
second book and take up the third book in
geography and coniine their attention to
those parts that will prove most useful to
them. Use the Biographies rs reading
book and let at least one reading lesson
day be out Of this book.
3. II I'VE all the classes TO read one lesson
a day either out Of the spellcr or diction-
airy; that is, pronounce the words with
out spelling the syllable. This will prove
Il wonderful help in training pupils to
divide words into syllables by the eye IN
their reading lessons.
4. In teaching English grammar, train
the pupils to give brief but concise defini-
tons, allowing them to substitute words
=
in the text. Dwell more upon sentence
making and analyses in the grammar
than upon memorizing definitions and
rules. Teach them how to find out what
the sentence means and why one arrange
ment of the words is better than another.
). After they become familiar with the
principles of arithmetic, let their lessons
in it be confined TO practical examples,
introducing frequently such as occur
daily in business circles and in mechanical
and farming operations.
Attention to these things will save time,
money and labor.
A SUGGESTION.
1T has been suggested that the teachers
of this district form an association ana
meet once month on Saturday afternoons
to discuss such matters rs pertains to their
school work. They could meet regularly
at some convenient place, or go from
school-house to school-housc, rs teachers
may prefer.
The teachers could make notes during
the month of any difficulty that they meet
with, or of any information that they de-
sire, and bring it up before the assOcia-
ton. In this way much valuable inlor-
nation will be gathered and concerted
action had OH many questions pertaining
to teaching and governing pupils. Who
will make the move and invite the Coop
Grafton of other teachers?

Shooting a Cattle Thief.

A dispatch from BraXton Courthouse,
w. Va. says: "Louis Bags, the leader
OF a band Of cattle thieves who have in
tlictcd heavy losses on farmers near Say
agetowu, BraXton county, was killed 4
day or two ago by officers while resisting
arrest. William Barnet swore cut Il war;
rant for Baggs and his wife and gave it to
John Shuttleworth and Ellis Wine to
serve. Baggs, hearing that the officers
were after him, left his home and hid IN
the house of friend in Savagetown. Here
the officers found him and summoned him
to surrender. Bags had hatcEet in one
hand and kept the other behind him. He
handed the hatchet to Wine, who turned
around, when Bags levelel revolver at
him. Shuttleworth sprang to the rescue
with a revolver i'm each hand and told
Baggs to drop his weapon. Baggs told
him " it'll an oath to shoot, which Shuttle
worth did, killing him."

\ dispatch from Chatham. Pittsylvania
county, Va, says: "Abig BaPtist revival
is being held this week at Whitmell. Miss
Earle Alton, country girl In the yicln-
ity, who has been very popular among
the young people, inadvertently made an
engagement to attend the revival meeting
last night with tSo young men, Jackson

it was noticed that he watched the couple

had taken Miss Alton home he was met on

Killed With an Axe.

a shocking murder occurred in Coal
Valley, Fayette county, w. Va, last Sat-
urday. Smith Oltlen struck and instantly
killed Alex. Tincher with an axe. Four
or five men, the above being of the num-
Der, were going to chop wood. Olden be-
gan playing with Il boy Who was in COM
pany with them, aud finally the boy picked
up Il stone, struck Olden with /. and ran
away. Olden caught up two large stones
and threw them at the boy as he ran.
Tinchcr demonstrated with Oldcn about
throwing such stones ut boy, and said
either of them would have killed him if
they had hit him. Olden flew into rage
and said he would "kill the boy or kill
anybody who would take up for him."
After some harsh words had passed be-
tween them over the matter, they arrived
at fence. Tincher threw his axe over
the fence aud told Oldcn to do the same
with his, and they would fight it out fair.
Instead of doing SO, Olden, it is alleged,
struck Tincher with the blade of the axe,
cleaving his breast open from the point of
the right shoulder down through both
lungs and through his heart. Tincher ex-
claimed, so Lord" aud fell on his face
dead. Olden fled for the woods, but was
captured and committed to Jail.
