Gives His Intelligent Views of thIs State for
Residence.
HKLyErIA, ", Va. Feb, 81,

Mr.. C. D. Hart,
DEAR sIR:-Please accept my copgratu.
lstions for having blown first the horn oi
West Virginia. The echo Of 1t has already
been heard, and hope 1t will rssound
from far distant places.
Professional duties retain mo here; so I
will not be able TO be present al the meet
ing in Wheeling the 29!h inst.
Tho German and SWiss inhabitants OF
this place and vicinity, about 200 Of the
former and 400 OF the latter, may, perhaps,
be represented at the meeting. We are in
sympathy with the steps taken, and l offer
every information at my disposal. For
this time l make the following obaerva-
tions:
Itis alleged that q great part Of the titles
for the land in West Virginia are not valid,
and for that reason the State has q bad
reputation in many places. I do not
know how far this is justified, but some
thing must be rotten in the State OF Dem
mark or such sales like those reputed to
have taken place would be avoided. II
the work for immigration shall be success
ful, oil thoae who take an interest In it.
Democrats like RepublicanH-must work
that only such candidates for the next
Legislature arc put In the field as earn
estly desire to bring light and order in this
affair.
The climate Of Weut Virginia can be
recommended for immigration. Having
practiced medicine here for fifteen years,
and twenty.four years before in sEitzsr.
land aad some Northern States, ! had op.
portunity enough for observation. Con-
Cerning myself, l can assure you that, in
spite oi my old age, my health is better
now than years ago.
Besides, am connected with the U. s.
Signal Service as Volunteer Observer, and
my reports have been sent regularly every
month to Washington for twelve years.
The mean temperature for this period Is
5Oo, and we are not exposed to extremes.
The mean yearly rainfall is 81 Al inches
In no year less than 44.67 inches. This
large amount OF rainfall, that never was
destructive, and the absence of heavy
storms, arc inviting to immigrants for
farming.
Disposed to work for the welfare Of the
State the best can, remain,
Yours Truly,
On. @. T. EFGcKRY.

trial OF Black 10 over. The Jury add an
other surprise to the many surprises
that have taken place during the trial by
rendering a verdict Of murder in the first
degree with recommendations. Last night
1t was confidently expected that the yer.
dict would not be in accordance with the
agreement Of counsel,
One obstinate man rescued the prisoner
from the hRngman's moose. Eleven Of the
jury insiBtsd on melting out justice, but
the twelfth succeeded 10 getting the ver-
dict. Eleven were for hanging on every
ballot but the last, but the twelfth would
submit to no such verdict, II he had to
stay there until next Christmas.
As the jury filed in and took their re-
spectivs places this morning, there was G
death Ike silence throughout the court
room. When the foreman announced
the verdict there was general appearance
Of dissHtiRiaetion among the spectators
and "a the news spread expressions were
heard on oil sides. The State had proven
the guilt Of the prisoner and the defense
on the "Tsgged end Of despair" gave up
the case in hopss Of saving the LIE Of their
client, and the etforis have, with very lit
tie margin, been crowned with succsss.
Col. StaGgers, as soon ss the verdict was
rendered, moved to setit aside. What he
expects 70 do is not definitely known.
The verdict, as the defense has admitted,
is in accordance with the testimony, but
some technicaliiy in the proceedings will
,be argued. Judge Fleming will hear the
argument iu the casa as soon as possible.
Henry Black Is man about feet
inches tall, light hair, blue eyes, and
weighs about 160 pounds. he is perfect
OF criminal, and one look st his couuto.
nance Ia auEicient 10 satisfy the most un-
observing spectator that all that is mean,
low or yillsinous Is hidden within. He
has borns an unenvisble reputation and
has been suspected Of being Ru accomplice
in more crimes than one. While await
ing the return Of the jury he sat at the
table surrounded by his counsel, and
talked on the topics oi tue day in very
cool, uncoucerned manner, although an
expression oil lear WhB occasionally man
ilested. When asked about the result he
aaid 1t mads litsls difference whether 1t
was for hanging or imprisonment. The
crime he is convicted Of wRa committed
May 8, 1887, and was one Of the most
heartless murdeTs ever committed in
Monongalla county. Filled with bad
whisky, determined to gratify his lust,
he went 10 the residence Of Emma Robin.
son, and being unable to psscefully sue.
csed In his devilish act, overpowered the
woman, and fearing she might inform on
him checked her to death.
In the case OF Mosey Wells counsel for
the State and the defense submitted
proposition which will be taken under ad.
visement by the court. The proposition
is to impose f1uo ofs5 and imprison him
in the county jail Tor one month.
