TRIO OF TRAGEDIES.
A IL Year Old Boy Kills his Play

lnfanticide & Attempted Suicide.

On Monday occurred said event
three miles out of the city that
shocked the entire community
Little Clay Neal, and Willie Beck
EFT, aged u and 10 got into an ap-
parantly harmless boyish contro-
versy, when Willie, pitched stone
or locust block (stories differ
through the wire fence at his COM
panion, striking him Immediately
over the heart, causing instant
death. The sad tragedy has thrown
both families into the deepest
agony, in which they have the in
tensest sympathy of the whole COM
munity. Willie Beckett is now in
jail and is overwhelmed with grief
at the death of his playmate. If
the facts are as We hear he will
doubtless be released on a hearing.
INFANrIcIDE.
On Saturday morning the nude
dead body of an infant female child
was found in an alley between upper
Julianna and Market Street. In
vestigation showed that the child
had been born alive and had been
dead but little while when found.
Further investigations pointed
to servant girl in family near
by as the guilty mother.
The Grand Jury is now inquir-
ing into the case.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
On Monday evening, John Robb,
well known in the city, in fit of
remorse over his dissipated life, at
tempted to end it by shooting him
self in the breast. The ball strik-
ing a rib nearly over the heart,
glanced around the body, coming
out under the left arm. The
wound is not thought to be danger

Remembering their Pastor.

The members of the First Bap-
fist Church, to the number of about
fifty, came down on Rev. and Mrs.
Walker, last Friday evening, with
well filled baskets4and took posses
sion of their handsome residence
On South 10th street. 1t was a
complete surprise to Mr.. and Mrs.
Walker. The donators arrived
about 8 o'clock, and after making
known the object of their intru-
sion. mirth and hilarity held sway
for about two hours. 1t was an en-
joyable affair, and everybody felt
that it was good for them to have
been there.-HuntSngtora Repubh-

A "HepisOde."

While the Association was in
session at Grafton, Rev. F. P.
Robertson was called from the
church to marry couple at the
Mayors office. The prospective
groom, J. 0. Patton had been
brought from the Jail by an officer,
and was supposed to be in an
adjoining room with the girl who
should either have been his wife
months before or a stranger to him.
But what was the surprise, when
the Mayor entered the room to call
them forth to the marriage, to find
that Patton had escaped from the
window and taken to the woods.
He had been arrested on the charge
OF seduction, and had agreed to
compromise by marrying the girl,
but seems to have changed his
mind in the officers absence.

Prohibition for the Liquor Traffic
and Protection for our homes.

Prohibition for the Liquor Traffic
and Protection for our homes.
Resolred, That Prevention is al
ways better than cure, and that we
earnestly petition our Legislature
at its next session to enact efficient
laws providing for general scientific
Temperance Instruction in all our
Public Schools, with special refer.
ence to the effects of alcoholic slim
ulants and narcotics on the human
system.
Resolved, That our admiration
and gratitude go out to that grand
est organization of Christian wo-
manhood the world has ever known,
The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union, and that we will give
these efficient co-workers For God
and Home and Native Land, all
possible encouragement and help
in their work in our own State.
Resolued, That we recognize in the
WEST VIRGINIA FREEMAN an eff
cient and indispensable agency in
carrying forward this great Tenn
perance Reform, and we heartily
commend it to the earnest sympa-
thy and practical support of all the
people of the State. We believe
every home in West Virginia, es-
pecially, ought to have the FREE
MAN, and that men of means who
have the heart to help on the cause,
cannot do better Temperance work
than to put the FREEMAN into
families not able to pay for it
themselves.
Respectfully Submitted,
p. H. MURRAY, Com.
Starring Speeches on the Cause, Curse
and Cure.
At the conclusion of the reading
of the report, the President an
nounced that I'VE now propose for
short season to pay our respects
to the Liquor Traffic" and pending
the motion to adopt, the audience
was first stirred, thrilled and
carried into deeper convictions by
two fifteen minute addresses, by
Rev. J. w. Carter and Prof. p. B.
Reynolds, the former on the Cause
and Curse Of the Liqnor Traffic, the
latter on the Cure.
We cannot now use our notes OF
these or the following excellent
speeches. Suffice it to say the cost
and curse were shown to be most
fearful, and the orthodox remedy
Of Prohibition at once ample and
available.
Now FOR THE MUsKETRY.
After the opening addresses, the
discussion was thrown open for
ten minute volunteer speeches, the
President remarking, 1--WE have
had the big guns, aoao for the
musketry," and right promptly was
opened rafting fire all along the
lines. Following each other came,
Rev. S. B. d. Prickett, Prof. A. l.,
Purinton, Rev. T. G. Johnson, L.
w. 3icknell and l.. e. Peters, each
pouring in an efiectual fire from
different points, 1t mattered not
that Prof. Purinton and others had
to be called to the front by the
eager audience. They showed an
always readiness for the fray.
Rev. T. G. Johnson spoke special
ly of woman's work in the Temper
ance cause, paying a glowing tri.
butte to the work of the w. G. I. u,
while Rev. L. K. Peters urged the
importance of circulating Temper
