Greeley yielded to the flattery of pre-

use of his name IN that connection he

The Feud Between the HatfeIds and
EIcCoys.

CHARLESTON, W. Va. JANUARY 19--Infor-
nation reaches here from Oceana, Wyoming
county, that another bloody chapter in the
McCoy-Hatfeld feud was enacted Saturday
night last, in which the lives of five McCoys
were sacrificed 1t will be recalled that about
the beginning Of the new year the feud, which
had been stiiled for some months, broke out
again between the two families in which the
Hatfields were worsted. After the funeral of
the victims, Hatfield proceeded to annihilate
the family Of Randall Mccoy. They surround
ed his house across tie Kentucky line, and
setting fire to it drove Mccoy. wife, son and
daughter, like sheep into the shambles, TO be
ruthlessly slaughtered. Randall Mccoy
escaped TO the woods. This was followed by
the affrayin West irginia, recently described,
in which three Of the Hatfield party were
killed i'll battle in the woods. AL the details
that have yet been received of Saturday
nights massacre are simply that the Hatfield
gang made a raid on the house of Simon
Mccoy, brother of Randall. The AEcCoys were
completely surprised. Mrs. Mccoy was tied
to tree and shot TO death. The eldest son
was then tied up and riddled with bullets.
Sim Mccoy barricaded his barroom and made
a weak defense Of his home against great odds.
Finally the Hatfelds came to the house and
Mccoy and his two youngest children were
burned to death

farmer who lives about eleven miles from this
city, was burned to death yesterday. She was
alone in the house with her nine months old
child, and was suffering from the cold. She
knelt down on the hearth and turned her back
10 the open fire, when her clothing caught fire
and in an instant her body was enveloped in
flames. She rushed screaming from the house,
and ran about three hundred yards along the
road, when she sank to the ground exhausted
and horribly burned. In this condition she
was found by a colored woman who extin-
guished the flames with sand, and sent word
to Mr.. MoGrady, who was at work in the
woods. The unfortunate lady's body was
burned to a crisp in many places. She fingered
in intense agony until past midnight when
death ended her sutferings.
