THE SFATH CAMPAIGN.
General Goff and Governor VIII

ARGUMENT VS.. DEMHGoGY.
Both Speeches Make Votes for the
Republicans = Governor Wilson

tectioniSrs at Huntington.

Special DLpGtch 10 The IHiGhigeHoer.
PHIIIPPl, W. Va, Sept, SO.-Gen
Col and Governor Z. W. Wilson mel
here yesterday on the hustings. An
immense crowd was in attendance
being estimated at over 1000. The
greatest enthusiasm prevailed among
the partisans of both the speakers
Gen. Golf opened the ball with a bril-,
liant speech of one hour which was
wildly cheered at every point. 1t Sas
hot only magnificent piece OF oratory,
but most convincing argument, dealing
strictly with facts and figures. The
issues Of the campaign were discussed in
u masterlv manner, and Republicans
and Protection Democrats were highly
gratiGed with the speech.
Gov. Wilson followed with speech Of
an hour and half. 1t was the usual
evasive and demagogic effort Of the Free
Trader, and weak presentation of the
lF5utb lIUlu u bGLllOClutlC blullu lIOlAtb Nt-
livered with Gov. Wilson's usual ac-
compartment Of stale jokes, abusive Ian
gunge and Misrepresentation. Gen.
Golf closed with half-hour speech in
which he completely LAID bare every
Argument OF the Governor, and showed
up that gentlcman's dcuragogy in way
that not only excited the enthusiastic
cheers OF his friends, but frustrated the
friendsof his antagonist. Both speeches
made votes for the cause of Protection
and the State Republican ticket. 1t is
said here by Democrats that Wilson
loses votes for his party wherever he
goes, by his abusive manner and dema-
gogic arguments.
OF course Gov. Wilson's speech was
highly satisfactory to Democrats who
hold his peculiar views on the subject
OF the tariff, though it was noticed that
the friends OF Ex-senator Camden were
very cold in their applause. On the
other hand, Gen. Golf d7sspeech was more
than pleasing to men OF all parties who
believe in the American System OF Pro
lection, and who believe that the DEM
Ocratic policy would retard the indus
tiial progress OF West Virginia.

No Fun, Even for u DomIule, to be Engaged
to Three Pretty Girls.
COLUMBUS, O., Sept. SO.-The investi-
ton of Rev. Robert II. Wallace, mem
ber OF the Ohio conference, now in SEES
sion in this city, has concluded, all ex-
cept the argument. This will be heard
by the investigating court tomorrow.
The testimony shows that Rev. Wallace
was on very intimate social terms with
two young ladies, Misses GuntheI and
Howard, of his congregation, at Chilli
cothe, and that each OF them had reason
to believe that he intended to marry
them.
Wallace denied that he had matri-
monia, intentions, but it was developed
by evidence and his own admission that
he is engaged to Miss Snyder, another
member OF his congregation. There is u
great deal OF church partisanship in the
case, and the presiding elder is doing all
he can to convict.

THE WARON WOMEN

MRuSmratcd by the Democratic Secretary
of Wnr-wIdows and Daughters of Union
Veteran. the Victims.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 30.-SeCre-
tary EndicoR's order against women
ard children, published here, has made
even more talk than the Villas secret cir
cular, telling members OF Congress how
they could secure the removal Of Repub-
ican postmasIers in spite OF the Presi-
dents civil service proclamation. En-
dicott has passed here for an aristocratic
gentleman who held himself above
practical Democratic politics, and who
pIided himself mainly upon the deciara-
ton, which the family lost no oppOrtu-
nifty to announce, that none OF their
race had ever engaged in trade. There
fore, great was the establishment when
ii WIS found that before he had been in
the Cabinet ten months he had directed
the removal OF half the woman and
children in the arsenals OF the
country where they We're classed MS Re-
puhlicans. There is general feeling Of
shame among army officers to-day in
consequence OF the publication OF this
circular. Gen. Benet himself, when he
found il was 10 be printed, felt called
upon in Justice to his own reputation, to
explain that the circular had been
issued at the instance Of Secretary Endi-
colt.
One case illustrating the working 8
the order has been reported here: A
soldiers widow at Rock Island, ILL.,, n
woman whose husband fell on the bat
tle.iield, has three daughters, who were
employed in the United States Arsenal
at that place. They were suddenly dis
missed, without any cause being as
signed, aud other persons were em-
plOycd in their places. At last, after
many efforts, the mother ascertained that
her daughters had been dismissed be-
cause their sympathies were with the
Republican party, while the persons
employed in their places sympathized
with the Democratic party. The officer
explained that he was acting under di-
rect orders from the War Department,
which allowed him no discretion in the
matter. 1t is asserted, and with truth,
in all probability, that great many
other persons have been dismissed on
the same ground and Democrats EN-.
ploycd in their places under this heart
less order from the Secretary Of War.
1t isl no wonder that u mau who is as
dead to all patriotic sentiments as this
order about soldiers widows and or.
phans shows him to be, sees nothing
worthy oishis attention in the butcher
ing OF the war records which is going on
under his auspices. 1t is probably the
first time that a Cabinet officer ever IN
dertook political warfare on women and
children. It will be the fault OF the
veterans lift is not the last time.

gratifying effect, as shown by the
marked decrease in the number OF new

tween the Rival Kings.
San Francisco, Sept. SO.-The steamer
Zealandia, which arrived here from
Sydney and Auckland, brings informa-
ton of the recent fighting at Samoa be-
tween the forces of Tamasese and Mali
etea, the deposed King, in which the
TamaseSe men were defeated. The cor
respondent writes from Apia TINT the
battle ground was in and around that
city, and that several weeks before the
fight commenced the Tarnasese forces
had built forts and formidable entrench.
ments, which were manned by over
1000 men.
September l2 Malietoa's forces charged
on these works, and in less than two
hours the Tamasese men had been driven
into the sea, where they took refuge on
rafts and finally got away in boats. Dur
ing the fight Captain Bssell, an English
man, living near Apia, was shot and
killed. He was not engaged in the bat
tie, and the shooting is believed to have
been accidental. Sergeant Fort was at
Matafagatil, one and half miles from
Apin. This fort, with the others, was
successfully carried.
The correspondent states that Tama-
sese is now at Mulinun under tie pro-
lection oi German soldiers. His flag is
flying there, and it is believed Malietoa
will attack that place il the flag is not
taken down. The correspondent does
not state how many lives were lost dur
ing the fight, but other adviccs places
the number at 400. The wounded were
cared for by the British and American
residents, and assistance was also rem.
dered by the surgeons on the United
States war ship Adams, now at Apia.

made 10 aespoil their oodies.
The first murder occurred in a barrow
court oil Berner's street at an early hour
this morning, beneath the windows OF u
Foreigners, Socialist Club. A concert
was in progress and many members Of
the club were present, but no sound was
heard from the victim. The same pro-
cess had been followed as in the other
cases. The woman had been seized by
the throat and her cries choked, and the
murderer, with one sweeping cut, had
severed her throat from eur to ear. a
club man on entering the concert
stumbled over the body, which was
lying only few yards from the street.
\ stream OF warm blood was flowing
FROM tue body into the gutter. The MUIR
derer had evidently been disturbed be-
fore he had time to .mutilate his victim.
The second murder was committed
three-quarters of an hour later in Mitre
square, five minutes walk from the scene
oil the first crime. Policemen patrol the
square every ten minutes. The body OF
the unfortunate woman had been disem.
boweled, the throat cut and the nose
severed. The heart and lungs had been
thrown aside, and the entrails were
twisted into the gaping wound around
the neck.
The incisiOns show rough dexterity,
The work of dissection was evidently
done with the utmost haste. Pending
the report of the doctors it is not known
whether or not portion OF the viscera
was taken away. The doctors, after n
hasty examination OF the body, said
they thought it must have taken abont
five minutes to complete the work Of
the murderer, who then had plenty of
time TO escape the patrol. Niitre square,
the scene OF the seCord murder, is n
thoroughiare. Many people pass through
the square every Sunday morning on
their way to prepare for market in the
notorious Petlicoat lane. The publicity
OF the place adds to the darkness Of the
crime.
The police who have been severely
criticised in connection with the White
Chapel hurdles, are paraIyzed by the
latest crimes. As soon MS the news was
received at police headquarters amessen-
ger was despatched for Sir Charles War
,rcrI, Chief commissioner OF police, who
at once visited the scene OF the murders.

except the faithful few who were in the
ring, motion was made postponiDg the

lived in Illinois with his young wife.
Times became hard and he started East

as a sailor on a ship bound for England.
His wife heard nothing OF him, and

tracing her to Bevoir. After an inter.
