by Parkersburg Correspondents.

by Parkersburg Correspondents.
NEW YORK, January 1.-THE follow
iag very "hshy' story is telegraphed to
the H.sa'3 from Parkersburg, w. Va:
The Rev. Thomas p. Ryan, a noted
Methodist minister, was brutally murdered
last October tie lived in Roane county,
forty miles from here, and was shot down
ia the presence Of his family.
Within two OF three days after that three
young men, Robert and George Dun and
Chester Coon, were brutally lynched for
the murder. 1t has been the prevailing
opinion that the lyuchers and murdcrcrs
were the same parties, and that they
lyuchvd innocent men 10 cover their own
crime.
Since the events Just stated took place,
Detectives Alfred Burnett and DANIEL Gun.
niughnm have been working up the case.
aud last night, for the first time, made
public the facts in regard To the matter.
They give % detailed description Of a
consolidated band that they charge
WIN tuE LlUINtI bi isNAu euA lNt lNhtN-
ing OF the Duls and Coon. 4 meeting
nl the baud was held after Ryan wns mur-
Grred, and it was resolved to put the
Uul,- ont OF the way.
After George Dun lus been fatally
wounded by the iyuchrrs Squire Taylor
ordered the arrest Of Bob Dun and Chess
Coca.
That night the band had secret meet.
lug at the Lynn Camp school house 1t
WAS decided to lynch Coon and Dun i'm
meiittrly, though some voted To wait

whvge Chess Coon was, took him out and
hanged him Then they went to Dave
Cox's, took Bob Cuil ont and cut his throat
with . knife

NEW YORK, January 1.-THE HedLd
this morning prints the following: Stock
Exchange operators have been in the habit
OF swearing by the weekly bank statement.
Indeed, on Saturday, the stock market is
sometimes entirely influenced by the sup

National Bank irregularities was a rude
shock to the street, and at once raised the
question, Can the bank statement ever be
depended upon 10 tell the TRUTH Ii one
bank can systematically monkey with the
figures and mlsstatc its condition, don't
other banks do the same?
1T IL one Of the seyerest shocks we have
had in years, said veteran Wall street
man. The bank statement has always
been looked upon every week rs gospel,
and now We find that il is not the gospel

doubt whatever, that Mr.. Baldwin il hy

Provisions of the Emancipation Bill Of
BraZil---l 100000 Made Free.

The New York Herald Of recent date pub
lishcd "a lctser from Rio de JaneirO, dated
April -, containing the provisions Of the
emancipation law recently passed by the
brazilian legislature. The emancipation
bin is very short, having only five brief ar
ticlcs: First, declaring free from the date
Of the law all slaves in the empire. Second.
relieving from further service the free born
children of slave mothers Third, localiZ
ing the new freedmen within their county
for two years. Fourth, empowering the
executive 10 issue the nee essary rcgula-
tons. Fifth, reyokiug all contrary pro
visions.
1t is estimated that the law cmancipates
over COS, 900 slaves and relieves from APP
premiership 100000 children Of slave moth
err,
Previous 10 the passage Of the law the
voluntary emancipation movement had
taken firm root in the provinces OF Rio ia
metro and Minas Gereas. Two brothers in
the municipality Of CantaZallos freed uncon-
ditionally their ,QV9 slaves, an example
followed by number Of lesser planters
One not bic fact in connection with the
freeing e the slaves is the anxiety Of the
freedmen 10 lcgalize their unsanctihed
conJugal unions and 10 legitimiZe their of
spring as the Brazilian law humanely per-
mits, by after marriage.
