Paddock Bill.

A bill which was introduced by
Mr.. Paddock, of Nebraska, and which
has been recommended by the Com
mittee on Public Buildings and
Grounds and is now on the Senate
calendar, provides for the erection of
q public building, not to exceed $685.

postoffice gross receipts have amount
ed to $4,000 for the last year. AS
nearly every Congressional district
would get at least one postoffice
building-and some of them several
1T looks as though every Senator
and Representative would be for it
on local grounds, and it has fair
chance TO pass. The Postmaster
General has sent to the Senate list
of postoffices which have made re-
turns emitting them to the benefits
of the BILL
The following is a list of the towns
in West Virginia, which. under the
bill, should it become a law, would
get public buildings:
Charleston, Charleston Clarks-
burg, Huntington, Grafton, Martins
burg, Piedmont.
Parkersburg and Wheeling already
have public buildings, and it is prob
able that Charleston will have one at
an early date.
Under the present law no allow
ance is allowed for rent at postoflices
which are in the third class. All o.
the above named offices in West Vir-
ginia are in the third class.
The gross receipts by the Charles

Murdered for Money.

PARKERsBuRG, w. Va, May g.
Jacob Morgan, an old soldier living
twenty miles from here, has recently
received back pension money to the
amount of $4,000. While he and
his wife, both old people, were at
home alone, three men, having the
appearance of tramps and wearing
masks, entered and demanded some
supper. When he refused, they at
tackled him with knives and revolt
vers, two of them shooting him at
the same time. When he fell, the
man with knife drew it across his
throat, severing the head from the
body. The old lady started to get
help, but was caught by one OF the
parties, and beaten until she was in
sensible. Then the robbers ransack-
ed the premises, and got their booty.
Every cent of the pension money
was taken, and the old woman is al
most penniless. So far, no clue to
the robbers has been found.

Ewing's Accounts Short.

WASHINGTON, May S.-James w.
Ewing, disbursing clerk of the De-
partment of Justice, has been found
to be $4,000 or $4,000 short in his
accounts. Several months ago CON-
plant was made, but he explained
that he had been overburdened with
work, and submitted a number of
vouchers, which made matters
straight for the time being. Suspi-
cion was again aroused few days
ago, and Attorney General Garland
instituted an investigation which re-
suited in the discovery of the defci-
ency.
Mr.. Garland would say nothing to-
day except that the interests of the
Government are fully protected by
Ewings bonds. He had always
found Ewing exemplary in character
and proficient in the business of his
office.
Subsequent inquiry revealed the
fact that Ewing has been delinquent
in rendering his accounts as far back
as 1882, and that over IS 900 of the
money said to be unaccounted for
belongs to the accounts for 1882,
1888 and 1884. Ewing is bonded in
the sum of $4,000, and Representa-
tive Nathan Golf, Jr., of West Vir-
ginia, is one of his sureties. Ewing
is Union soldier of good record and
is one of the best known men in the
city. He was appointed from West
Virginia and has held his present Of

Henry j. Spencer Sentenced to Death.

CUMBERLAND, MD, May s.--Henry
j. Spencer, convicted at the Octob-
er term ofthe Circuit Court of murd-
er in the first degree in shooting w.
Scott Dawson at Rawlings July %,
1887, was sentenced to death by
Judge Hoffman today. Spencer
went to Dawson's house, called him
out and, after few minutes talk,
shot him, death resulting Immediate
ly. Spencer always admitted the
shooting, and on several occasions de-
tailed just how it was done. He
gives as motive the desire for re-
venge for an assault made by Daw.
son over eight years ago upon his
cousin. Rachael Dawson, who after
wards became Spenoer's wife, and
who died four years ago. Dawson
was tried for the ASSAULT, and receiv-
ed six years in the penitentiary.
