WHEELING, West Virginia, June IL.
-Pendletop County furnishes the la est
West Virginia tragedy. A boy named
Andy Adoins recently attended series
of meetings held by ministers Of the
Baptist church, on North Creek, in q
district scboo! house. He became deeply
impressed and then insane on the sub
ject Of religion. Th family consisted
of the boy, sister of eight years and
their mother. They lived in sparsely
settled neighborhood. The non-appear.
ance Of the family on Monday last did
not cause any apprehension, but a
neighbor who called at the house acci.
dentally made horrible discovery.
The mother and daughter were both
dead. The former had her head mashed,
and the latter's throat was cut from ear
to ear. The boy was found crouched in
q corner. In reply to question he
said the Lord had tolf him to offer a
sacrifice; the Lord would bring them to
life again. The cabin presented a
CHASTITY appearance, with blood every
wher-. The mother had been killed
with An axe and the sisters throat cut
with butcher knife. The boy Is In
custody and the meetings have been
stopped.

Detained I'm quarantine.

The schooner s. B. Wheeler, of thi
city, from Wilmington, N, c., with a
cargo of lumber for Philadelphia, was
detained by the LazareUto physician on
Tuesday, and anchored off the Quaran'
tine station by reason of not having a
clean bill of health. The Wheeler sailed
from Boston on March 25th last for
Philadelphia, and four days later, when
off Fire Island, she was struck by a
squall, losing foregaff and centre board ,
and was obliged to run before the wind
for nearly week, night and day, until
the Captain found himself near Turks
Island short of provisions, which we're
supplied by the brig Bohemia, from
Brazil. Nothing having been heard
from the vessel, she was given up for
los. unJil May IL, when she turned up
in Wilmington, N. G., having been out As
days. After having the damage repair
ed she again set sail and was quaran-
tined at the Lazaretto, ABOVE Chester, as
previOusl Y stated.
The Lazaretto physician reported yes
tsrday to the Health Board the deten-
tiou of the schooner S. B. Wheeler, from
Wilmington, N G. One man in the
crew of seven was suffering from atype
of typhoid malarial fever. Before COM
ing up the river the vesse will be fumi-

Grally'a Victim Dies,

Owing to the rain on Tuesday after.
noon at Harrisburg the Active base
ball club did not play game with the
Harrisburg team. In consequence of
this some Of the Reading players start
ed out on spree, among the number
being John Grady, catcher for the
Actives, and well.known in this city,
who, while under the influence Of liquor,
entered a Chinese laundry and insulted
a female inmate, evidently the China
mans wife. He WAS ordered out at
once by Sam Gee, the proprietor, who
followed him with fiat-iron. Grady
picked up beer bottle and threw it
violently at Gee, striking him on the
forehead above the eye, intlicting a
serious wound. Grady at once made his
escape but information of the affair
was lodged with the police and the fol-.
lowing day Wednesday, lie was ar
rested and locked up in Jail. The China
mans wound proved to be more serious
than was at first apprehended, and .
telegram received in Reading from
Harrisburg on Wednesday announced
the startling fact that the man had died
from his injuries and that Grady was
held for the murder. The news spread
like wild-fire and within short time
the affair was known throughout the
entire city and created considerable OK
ctement.

Tilllen Declines.

Tilden's letter of declination of a
Presidential nomination will be found
In another column, and we presume
that we shall now hear no more of the
nomination of the "old ticket" Some
persons, however, are so uncharitable le
as to infer that..Tilden would accept the
nomination If rendered him, holding
that he is like the maid that declines
and yet consents. 1t liz becomes him
or any of his party to speak Of corrup.
tion, while the cipher dispatches and
the Cronin affair remain unexplained,
without alluding to the shotgun policy
that dominates the entire South. Such
things are disgrace not only to the
Democratic party, but to the country at
large, and they should not hereafter be
tolerated oT,submitted to. The corruption
in the city of New York in elections is
great enough to make men dream Of the
late of Sodom and Gomorrah, and yet

Horse versus Bicycle.

Nearly thousand people. consider
able number of whom were ladies, were
at the Gentlemen s Driving Park, Phila-

test between the trotting horse Scotland
with a record of 222A, owned by Hor
ace G. Craven, and John S. Prince on a
bicy Gle, for u purse of $500, with an ad-
ditional wager of $500 by the bicycilists
against $500 by Mr.. Craven. 1t was
half-past five o'clock before the start
was made, and it was seen from the
start that the horse had the best of it,
Prince evidently doing his best, while
the horse for the first four miles trotted
just fast enough to keep along with him.
At the end of the fourth mile the horse
began to draw out, and at the end Of the
9th mile he led a length;at the end Of the
sixth mile he led a similar distance.
When the seventh mile was completed
the bicyclist was 30 yards behind at
the eight mile 100 yards ; at the ninth
mile 200 yards, and when Prince had
made half the distance of the tenth
mile he saw the case was hopeless, and
gave up when full quarter of mile
behind. The horse logged around and
finished the ten miles on walk In 36
minutes and 80 seconds. Neither Prince
nor he.horse appeared to be much fatigu
cd by their journey.
