turned to leave the room, the lunatic struck
at him from behind with a sharp razor, cut
ting him from the middle Of the chin around
to the middle of the spinal chord, just bare
ly escaping the juguIar vein and cutting
the carotid vein. DR.. Malcolm, who took
twenty-five stitches in the cash, says it
was the most horrible cut he had ever seen.
This morning Mr.. Rogers is resting very
well, but he may die at any moment. Your
correspondent and Mr. ]. W. St. Clair, a
few minutes after the cutting had occurred,
opened the jail doors and the lunatic was in
position to cut again, although he denied
having the razor He was knocked down,
however, and the razor secured.

ParkersburG Fires.

PAlKEas BURG, March l9.-I esterday was
the day of fres and the new FIRE alarms had
abundant opportunity TO be exercised. The
first alarm was about noon. and was the re-
suit of small fire in the cottage formerly
occupied by Captain Chancellor on Fourth
street. II was easily extinguished. AT
dark an alarm was sent in from the big
Rcseman brick block on Court Square. The
fire originated in the rsfters above the third
story and danced dizzily around for short
time. By mistake the steamer went
halt mile in the opposite direction, and
before its return the fiIe gained some head
way. c. P. Harvey, of the Sentinel, who
was at hand, organizeda q bucket brigade
and through their exertions the large block
which has been twice burned was probably
saved. At two o'clock this morning the
sky was lit up brightly by the burning OF a
building occupied by S. J. Horn as ware
room situated Just behind the place OF the
first alarm. The bulling was of small
value and was filed with old trumpery, IN
cludipg some FIRE works, which added to
the beauty ofthe blaze.

THE MORMON QUESTION.

The Church Organ Speaks on the Abro-
CATION of PoIygamy.
SALT LAKE Cry, March l9.-The church
organ breaks the silence tonight for the
first time on the rumor of the coming ab-
rcgation of polygamy at the spring con-
ference. 1t argues against it, but does not
absolutely deny 1t, admitting at the same
time that portion of the church favors the
step. 1t closes long editorial and says
Members of the church who feel and talk
fsvorably for the sbrogation of doctrinal
points are the reverse OF strong. They
probably belong to class who believe in
the fullness Of the gospel as restored through
Joseph Smith and almost wish they didn't,
or at least that it was not true. They would
like to do the will of God, providing it was
strictly in accordance with their own.
They desire to adhere to the church be-
cause they cannot rid themselves of the
conviction that it is the power OF
God unto salvation, but they would
like It's doctrines and ways more in confirm.

OF giving up religious rights peacemeal IN

Saints and the world disappeared, and they

they would be swallowed up BY the world
which loves its own. 1t would result II
another universsl apostscy, similar tc

BoRHAM TO HAVE A NEW TRIAL.
Judge Kelly Sets Aside the Verdict Be-
cause n Juryman Slept.


ST. CLAIRsyILLE, o., March l9.-lu
Common Pleas to-day. Judge Kelly set
aside the verdict in the Borham murder
case, and granteda new trial on the ground
of misconduct ON the part Of Juryman
Richards in sleeping during the trial with
Stephen Day, father of the murdered Samuel
Day. The Judge however, exonerated
Richards from any wilful wrong doing.
He characterized some of the afiidavits
made in support of the motion for a new
trial as false. and improbable, and some
Bellsire citizens may find themselves in a
box. The case will be heard again April
l4th. The defense has made motion for
change of venue, charging that it will be
impossible to obtain an impartial jury in
this county as the testimony has been
printed in the county papers.
