A HORRIBLE FIND
BY Boy-A Corpse In an Old Well Causes
Murder Sensation.

BY Boy-A Corpse in an Old Well Causes
Murder Sensation.
CANTON, o., March l6.-The little village
of osnaburg, Eve miles east of Canton, is in
great state of excitement over case of
murder, with sensational circumstances and
surroundings. About o'clock this morn
Ing John Ely, farmers boy, while playing
about deserted saw mill on the farm Of
Samuel Marks lifted lot Of boards cover
ing an old well and peered into its depth.
He was horriGed by discovering the dead
body Of man half immersed in the water.
Coroner Leninger was notified, and the
body was taken out this afternoon. 1t
proved to. be that of Harry Vinchess, coal
miner, aged about 35, who with his wife
and three children lived IN Osnsburg. A
number of residents of that place were sum
moned as witnesses before the Coroners in-
quest From their testimony it was learned
that Einchess had not been living happily
with his wife, and that the latter, who had
considerable money in her own name, has
been trying lately to have her her husband
sent to the poorhouse, because he was idle
and depended on her for support.
The fact that the we'll was in desolate
spot and that the opening was covered shows
that it was impossible for Vinchess to have
fallen in. Yinchess wore pair of rubber
boots, and his footprints, as well as those of
a second party wearing hob-nailed shoes,
were found in the mud about the well. Sew
eral persons saw Mrs Yinchess in company
with man named Joseph Fisher in Ballin-
gers saloon in 0snaburg. Fisher had
made preparations to leave for the West
Tuesday. Ninchess had not been seen since
yesterday until his dead body was found
this morning. The body shows no wounds
or signs of violence.
The theory commonly advanced Is that
Vinchess was murdered and his body placed
in the we'll. There are grave suspicious
against Mrs. Vinchess and Fisher.

Ways to Become Attractive.

A Partisan newspaper has been teaching
its lady readers how to be attractive"
Surely the readers of the Vie Psrisienne
ought to be in no need Of advice such as the
following: Look confident and indifferent;
express yourself simply and with voice as
sweet as possible. Be keenly alive to every
thing that passes. yet appear absent mind
ed; know as much as possible, yet please by
asking questions. Having read everything
apr ear ignorant; heard all, always express
surprise; desiring everything, ask for moth
ing Be light hearted to preserve your
bee be indulgent to attract sympathy
and 80 on These laws-some evidently
anti blue-stockiug laws-are laid down as
absolute, with one exception. Blush
neither for shame nor for pleas
ure. 70 which is added: "If you can help
it." Verify. the good old saying holds
coed still iii faut souffrir pour etre belle >
There are, however, some clauses which
might with equal advantage be applied to
both sexes For instance: DO not :Orce
wit; always listen attentiVely; be charitable
for your own satisfaction; be frank and you
need never be afraid Of the truth; see things
at a glance; Judge quickly and think more
quickly still in order to keep q cool head"
But vice as these saws are, and however
much the world might be benefited BY q
more general application Of them, they be-
long decidedly to the category Of preeepts
more easily preached than practiced.

WHEELING. W. va. TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH IL 1885.
sUsPENDlNe THE PRIEST.
The Rev. Patrick Corrigan, of Hoboken, In
Troublo.

The Rev. Patrick Corrigan, of Hoboken, In
Trouble.
NEW YORK, March l6.-The news that
the Rev. Patrick CorrigaI, pastor of the
Church Of Our Lady of Grace. Hoboken, had
been suspended by Biship Wigger, caused
much comment in Jersey City and Hoboken
yesterday. Although many priests, both in
this city and New Jersey, had been for
weeks aware that the blow might fall at any
moment, Father Corrigan's Pensioners
were much surprised at this new develop
ment of an affair which they all thought had
long ago been settled. The differences be
tween the pastor and his Bishop date back
TO 1884. In January of that year Father
Corrigan published pamphlet entitled,
"What the Catholic Church Most Needs in
America, the Voice Of the Priests in the EIec
bon Of Bishops" In this work Father Cor
rigsn contenied that according to the an
Gent doctrine Of the Catholic Church, when
unfettered by State interference, the priests
should have voice in the choosing OF
bishops As there was no governmental
authority in America whichexercised a con-
.tsol over the election of bishops, the Church,
Father Corrigan urged, ought to return to
its original and fundamental doctrine,
namely, that the selection Of proper men to
be bishops could be better made through
The votes Of priests than BY the present sys
tenn OF election by bishops Ofcourse manv
bishops objected to movement that would
deprive them of much Of their power; but.
On the other hand, thousands of priests and
laymen wrote their thanks to Father Corri-
gan for publishing the book.
Bishop Wigger was much displeased. He
ordered Father Corrigan to discontinue the
publication of the book and even went so
far as to personally supervise the. destruc-
ton OF the stereotype plates in a printing
office in this city. Although the priest
called personally upon Bishop Wigger and
vigorously defended his writings, the latter
was firm in his determination to suppress
the publication Six months later Father
Corrigan issued a new work from which
were expunged the paragraphs obnoxious to
the Bishop. 1t was printed at Rome in
the Italian language .and was en-.
titled lie Nomine Del Vescovi'- -
Episcopal Nominations. AT the same time
the reverend author issued another pamph-
let in this country entitled Bishop aud
Priest" being substantially the same as the
above, in which he also defended his first
work against certain attacks which had been
made on it in the New York Tablet and
other papers. An eminent member Of the
Sacred College at Rome read the work and
declared there could he no objection to its
publication in Rome or elsewhere, as its ut
terances were all based on sound Catholic
doctrine.
As Bishop Wigger took no further action
at the time it was generally supposed that
that was the end of the matter. Not until
last week, however, did he take the step Of
suspendipg Father Corrigan from the sacer-
dotal functions
