a Number Of Terrible Crimes Re
veaIed Through the Finding
oI a Skeleton.

RyAyER FALLS, W. Va, September
lO.-The mystery surrounding q OF the
most remarkable crimes 10 all the many
committed 10 the Coal valley was cleared
up Yesterday by q regular chain OF car
c~umstances. Some fifteen years ago the
family of John Ireland resided &c . cabin
! abort distance from this town. At that
time il was almost a wilderness, town be-
ing unfounded. The family consisted OF
the husband, wife and three children
One morning a man named Thompson,
who had been In the neighborhood Tor
.ome months and was a frequent visitor
At the Ireland cabin, called there and
found, 80 he at the time reported, the
dead bodies of the three chlldren, all
young, lying OIL the floor 10 pools OF blood.
Ireland and wife were missing. Ihomp-
son raised an alarm st the nearest house,
q mile away, apd a search for the missing
people was made. After some time Mrs.
Ireland was found gagged and bound to a
tree. She appeared TO be- nearly f%Iantlc,
and claimed that her husband committed
the deed. As he was missing she was
believed. Soon after Thompson and the
m began living together. They
auarreled frequently, and o day she
vas found dead IN her bed. The simple
folk held no inquest, and it was given out
that she died of heart disease. Thompson
disappeared. This was four or i've years
ago. Yesterday a party OF boys, 10 wan
dering about, came to the mouth OF a
shaft that had been sunk for coal, but for
some cause abandoned. While standing
at its edge ons Of them dropped a knife
into it. Being valuable, he determined
to recover it. Precaution were taken
against foul air, and, by the aid of q rope
procured for the purpose, and with a
torch, the boy ~WaslOFeFe5 to the bottom,
a distance Of twenty-five feet. 4 scream
Of terror caused him to be rapidly drawn
up. when he declared there was a skele-
ton in the shaft. The autAofities made
an examination and brought up 8 few
bones and a rusty tin tobacco box. la 1t
was found a remarkable document, being
nothing less than a note written by Ire
land, saying that Thompson, aided by
his fIreland' wife, had attempted to kill
him, but at first only stunned him that,
recovering. he discovered the three child
rem dead. Seeing re- was alive, he was
again beaten and carried out for dead and
thrown into the shaft. He recovered,
and wrote the note after vainly calling for
aid. Undoubtedly Mrs. Ireland, was
bound to the tree by her apeomrhce to
throw suspicion on the husband, WHOSE
enforced absence was also made to serve
their scheme, Naturally the greater ex-
element prevails.

How WOMEN Button FHEIR CLOTHES.
"A controversy has been started by the
London papers IS to Why women button
their clothes from right to left and men
from left to right. 1t has led to an
elaborate display Of learning and wit.
One writer declares that men have but
toned from left to right since the earliest
Assyrian dyna.ties. Another asserts
that the mode of buttoning distinguishes
he Mussnlman and the Hindoo in India.
while a third says that the writer need
not 90 SO far as India for an illustration,
as the women of America are recogniza-
BILE by the male system of buttoning from
left to right. The ladies of New Orleans,

period, did 50 because the French coloni-
cation of Louisiana. TEeo the c~ontrover-
sy branched off into a question of the

A FRIENDLY EXPLANATION OF THE

A FRIENDLY EXPLANATION OF THE
BLAINE 6GANDAt-The circumstances
on which the libel is based are very sim
pie, and. beyond a plain statement of
them, need no explanation. Mr.. Blaine,
as is we'll known, when . young man
taught school in Kentucky, and at the
time met Miss Harriet Stanwood, his
present wife, who was engaged in the
same profession at the same place. 1t
was here that the attachment began
which resulted il their marriage. They
were married during term time Of their
respective schools. but because it was
thought that publication Of the fact
might affect their relations WITH their
employers tbs marriage WAS kept private.
At the close of the term they vent TO-
gether to the house of Miss Stanwood
10 Maine on a visit to her relatives. aud
theirs fer the first time the marriage was
published. lE8taad of returning to Ken
lucky. as he had intended, Mr.. Blaine
was induced by his wife's brothers TO re-
main and engage in business at the east.
Some sig Or seyen months after the pub
llcatlon OF the marriage their first child
was born. In Maine, where ali the cir
cumstanoes were known, it ocDasioned no
remark, but when the news reached the
small rural community in Kentucky
where they had taught school and we're
both well known, it set loose tongues of
the gossips, aud, rs usual, the worst con-
structiOn was put on the transaction.
This, however, shortly passed away and
was forgotten. dorchester Post Erpress

ECHOES FROM New BRUNsWICh BANk
TRoUBLE.-The reported attempt of Miss
Lille Runyan to kill herself the day her
father committed suicide has been con-
frmed. A stableman named Attis said
chat while Miss Runyon was driving
along the road some time after leaving
her father at the bank on Monday, she
heard a man shout to her:
Your father has Just killed himself.
You'd better 60 see about it."
She hurried home, leaped out of FER
carriage, and, running to the well. threw
herself head first into it.. 4 cousin, Mr..
Adolph Runyon saw her running to-
ward the well. He caught one foot and
her skirts. The well is said to be the
deepest in the country. 1t is avelred
that Miss R4ryou heard her father speak
on Saturday of suicide, and that she in

kafes sf Travel Adopted.

Ihe Worlds Exposition, of which nu-
wi recently bot little was heard, has of
late grown to be the prominent theme
OF conversation, and daily inquiries are
heard regarding the rates of transporta-
tion- With view to properly present
ing before the readers of the Posr-Ix-
TELLrdEScKR a correct statement of
rates OF travel. Commissioner A. p.
Sharpstein aas been consulted. He
saws letters and circulars from the New
orleans management have been re-
ceived by him u tbs effect that eff ,rts
weie being made TO secure the mos, lib
erai terms ever given to the travelling
public over all Pacific coast lines. and
Director General Burke has estimated
the same as low as one cent Der mile
eacn way. Although as yet no official
statement has been made by the North
ern or Union Pacific companies in rela-
tion to rates, they had informed him
tnat tney would soon determine the
rate, and would notify him as soon as
arrangements with other lines were
consummated. In the East over 100
lines have adopted the uniform rate of
one cent per mile, and several have sig
nined their intention of running excur-
sion trains frequently at rates as low az
one-halt and three-quarters of a cent. |
In most instances the purchaser has
been given the option of going and re- |
farming by different routes. It has been |
stated in prominent San Francisco |
1nnFnaia that tic AnnthaWy, -
adopted the one cent rate, making the |
fare from San Francisco to New Orleans |
T23, or x46 for the round trip. This |
would make. unless reduction was given |
over the o. X. d n. boats, $50 from Se- |
attic, with return ticket. 1t is almost
incredible that the lines of Washington |
and Oregon will not be as generous as
have the California and Eastern com
panies, for without a material reduction,
with the present stringsncy of the
money market, the travel will be ex-
light, while with cheap rate
all trains would go loaded with visitors,
each of whom, 10 conversation with |
strangers. would do much to build up
and populate the country. Also the |
near completion of the Short Line. of
ferlpg, as 1t does. a splendid route to |
the East. with the former record of the
Union Pacific for cheap excursions,
seems almost ne ,essarily to force the
that the Northern Pacific
will sell round trip tickets AS low as $75.
Rates will doubtless be announced dur
ing the week. aud it will then be deter
mined whether Washiugtonians are to
be strangers to the Exposition, or if
thousands will pay tribute to the COM
panies.
