ONANCocK, Ella EsIEY, VA, January
12.-Information has been received here
from Eastville that William G. Duer,
who is confined there in northampton
county jail for killing his wife, has been
examined by several prominent physi-
clans Of that county who have failed to
discover any evidence of insanity i'll
him. This is surprise 10 the
people in Onancock, where Duer
had lived for the past ten or
twelve years and up to a
short time before he killed his wife For
several months before Duer left Oman
cock he showed unmistakable signs of
insanity. At times he imagined that his
best friends were trying to kill him, and
he told several persons here that the
woods near his house were filed at night
with armed negroes who were bent on
taking his life. During the recent Christ
mas he walked all the way from his
brothers home, below Bell Haven. TO
Onancock, a distance of more than
fifteen miles, and arrived here with only
one shoe on. He said he had thrown his
other shoe away in the woods because 1t
hurt his foot. The weather at the time
was very Indictment and the ground was
frozen. The people here who know Duer
best have no donbt that he WAS insane
when lie killed his wife. In
spite of this the feeling against
Duer in some parts Of Accomack and
northampton is Intense, and umors OF
lvnching have been beard. Duer's eX-
animation is to take place at tastvilie
tomorrow, aud several citizens of Oman
cock have been summoned TO attend a.
witnesses Upshur Il. Quinby, Of Oman
cock, has been employed to defend Duer.
Captain John =. j.. Hopkins, one o.
the most prominent merchants OF Oman
cock, was married yesterday in Norfolk
to Miss Eva Roberts, n beautiful and
popular young lady OF that city. IN the
evening they took the Bay Line steamer
for Baltimore.
Mrs. Oliver Taylor OF Greenbackville,

lade. and several kegs OF gunpowder,
which exploded with such force as to be
heard all over the city. Both buildings
were completely Quilted. The e-alarm
telegraph system was rendered useless,
and every electric light was extirguish-
ed. The electric-light station was in
close proximity TO the fire, and the wires
were destroyed. The buildings, owned
by the city, we're valued at $50, 600. The
uniforms OF Companies @ and G, with
their arms, were totally destroyed. AT 8
A. NJ. the fire was under control.
The roof of the adjoining building was
broken in by the falling walls OF the
Burning building, and the building and
its contents will he a total loss. 1t was
occupied by grain and hay dealers. 1t Is
now thought that s75, 900 will cover the
total loss. The brick buildings are not
insured. All of the fire apparatus was
saved, but the firemen lost nearly oil OF
their personal effects.
