Crime and Casualty = Curious Condsn-

Over the State.

A case OF what seemed to be murder in
self defense, occurred at Huntington, last
week, in which William Bass was instantly
killed by A. White. Mrs. Bsss the wife OF
the dead man, said that she was sitting In
her house about O'Clock P. NJ, when her
husband came to the door and demanded
admittance. She dil not know him as he
had been away since last fall, and she re-
fused to admit him, unless he told his
name. He repeated his demand and en-
forced it by breaking down the door with
sumo instrument, and came into the ro)m
and struck her on the head with large
skifI-oar infiicting q painful wound and
knocking her down. He then ct
tempted to cut her throat but her
son prevented him aud ran out OF
The house crying murder. Bsss folio we'd
his son out into the night. The boy cries
brought 10 his mothers relief, Mr.. l.. W..
M;lSlsgle, Mr.. Briggs and Mr.. A. w. White.
They ran from their homes near by 70
N!s. B. house where they found Mrs. b.
concealed under pile OF lumber. Sac
came out and they all agreed together that
Mr.. White should stay with Mrs. b. to de
terd her from her husband if he should
return. Mr.. Milslagle and Mr.. Briggs left
Mr.. NJ. handing his revolver to White
i few moments after they left, Bess re-
turned and broke down The door which
White had fastened up and entering,
commenced to curse White saying that
he intended to kill him quicker than
b-l could scorch a feather" He started
at White, brandishing big piece OF wood.
Mrs. Bess jumped up and said shoot him.
Mr.. White, or be will kill US all" White,
who was so that he could not retreat, fired
three times, the last taking effect in the
head Of Bsss, killing him instantly. Bsss
fell forward on his face, and remsined so
until the authorities removed his body.
White went back to his bosrdlng-house,
and remained there until Marshal Welsh
arrested him, at about 2 o'clock the next
morning.

THE RIVER RAILROAD.

The railroad engineers last week run the
trausit line as far as Lszure's Church, on
Point Pleasant. On Monday they run the
levels 10 the same point and on Tuesday
Major Mcconnell made profile of the
route from the toll house to the church, a
distance of three and quarter miles. The
2rcater portion of the distance the road
yl.l be easily constructed, being mostly
side cuts. There are but two heavy
through cuts on the three miles, one at the
nth Of Point Pleasant and the other
and heaviest at the Hog Back" The
heaviest grade so far is 81 feet to the mile:
There are no bridges and bat one trestie OF
any size-that over First run. the cost OF
construction of the three miles will not be
so great as was expected. Notwithstanding
the delay occasioned by the food, Ma or
Mcconnell will complete his estimate be-
fore the time fixed for the election, rnleSJ
the weather should be very unfavoroble.
