The Terrible Fate of a Virginia

OF death. The murdererS then

ehandise, after which the body of Wal

REMARKABLE PLOT.
A Negro Lynched by Men Who
Hired film to Commit Murder.


WHEELING, W. Va, Sept. s.-Investi-
cations by the grand jury in Fayette
county, this state, have brought to
light fiendish plot. About a month
ago a white man named Charles West
was waylaid and butchered by Bill
Turner, worthless negro, who
had been a criminal all his life.
West was prominent citizen,
and committee of regulators lynched
Turner. Curiosity about the motive
for Vests murder was aroused. and
rumOrs of statement that Turner had
made just before he was strung up be-
came so numerous that the grand jury.
then in session, took cogniZance of them
and began an investigation. One OF the
lynchers, John West, a cousin of the
murdered man, was summoned, and
during his examination broke down and
made the following remarkable confes-
sion: "Charles West was politically OBJ
noxious to number of persons OF Fay
cite county, and they determined to have
him removed. He was too prominent
man to be killed without exciting a
searching examination, which might
prove unpleasant for his murderer. and
he could not be provoked to a quarrel,
in which he might be shot in self-de-
sense. The plotters were in dilemma
and held several conferences. At last
they hit upon plan of hiring Turner
to do the deed and then lynching him be-
fore he had chance to ilnplicate them,
thus DESTROYING all trace of their crime"

Electrical Fire Engines,

About the most recent invention for the application of electricity is Professor Vince ler's electrical fire engine It is inteded to be worked by the current of any of the over head electric light wires The principal difference in the invention to the ordinary steam fire engine is that tho power is obtained from Q motor instead of the steam chest. Each of the new engines will carry a reel of some 500 feet of insulated fine copper wires, bound together cable fashin, so as to equal in strength No. wire-for the trans mission of the current. As by this method the engine can be placed anywhere. as the wires overhead can bo tapped anywhere, the engine will be placed nearer the fire than by the old method. The powerful current of an arc light wire will not be required, that of the ordinary incandescent circuit being of sufficient potential to run the motor. ~.
 The advantages claimed for this new method are many. In the first place it is much lighter, and much greater speed can therefore be attained. Again, owing to the construction, 1t can be built for about one third of the cost of an ordinary steam fro engine. A very important consideration is that, like all motors, 1t starts up immediately under full speed. It is safer and easier of control. 1t is noiseless, and is much more economical That this last point is true h perfectly evident. The expense for fuel for the present engine in use is considerable. By tapping the wires overhead, fuel is pro- vided gratis. The above advantages arc claimed by the inventor, and many of them seem important, and, if the claims can be substantiated, the invention will soon be in universal use.-New York Commercial Bull letin.

THE very fact that resolutions favor ing Irish home rule and condemning the tory policy of coercion have been brought before the Canadian parliament is an in- dication of the growth of the public feeling that England must concede to Ireland some measure of justice. It is not Americans alone that condemn the present policy of blood and bayonet that has been inaugurated by Salisbury and Balfour. Ireland will yet have some voice in the choice of her rulers.

THE members of the court of common council can find some pretty interesting reading in another column. It may be news to them that policy gambling is practically legalized in Waterbury by their failure to pass prohibitory ordi- zens generally. The proper place for policy Kings is behind the bars, but they cannot be placed where they are best fitted to shine while the police are una ble to bring charges of gambling against them. The city fathers have duty be- fore them which they should not be slow to perform.

THE CONNECTICUT MUTUAL.

In another column will be found the annual statement of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance company. It is a most satisfactory showing, and one that is particularly creditable to the company in view of the losses sustained by the Moore dedication. A surplus of over five millions must be very reassuring to those who contemplate investing in life insurance. Int this connection it is in- teresting to vote the further encourage ment President Greene offers to the public in his request to State Commis- sioner Fyler to examine with care and without delay the assets of the company. This is anticipatory of the regular inquiry that MT Fyler would have to make at any rate during the year, and is intended to show the soundness and strength of the company in the face of Mir Moore's stealings.
 The Connecticut Mutual IS unquestion- ably sound, safe and strong, but of this the public will be even better convinced when the legal officer shall have officially proclaimed it so. Carping critics and cavilling cranks, who find occupation and pleasure in railing like drabs at the company, will be silenced by the com missioner's verdict, and it is for this req son and to set at rest any possible mis- givings of policy-holders that President Greene has taken this course. The off ciaf examination, which Mir Fyler will make, will strengthen the good impression made bt the annual statement, and dissi- pate any possible doubts that unfriendly opponents may have endeavored to cast upon it.

DRIVE IT OUT!
What?


 This policy business.
 It is a disgrace to Waterbury.
 It is the worst and most harmful form of gambling.
 By curious oversight on the part of the city fathers the police have their hands tied and are unable to break up the vile business.
 The 'brazen and unprincipled scamp who is fattening on the folly of his victims laughs at the police, snaps his fingers at the law and smilingly rakes in the hard-earned dimes of the poor fools who try their luck.
 There is poverty and suffering in many a home in Waterbury simply because the head of the family will continue to pass over his earnings to the policy King while the latter revels in his ill-gotten gains and faunts his winnings in the face of the community.
 There is no excuse for the city fathers allowing this gambling to be carried on right under the very eyes of the police and almost within the shadow of the court when they have the power to stop it. '-a. ',. A-3aa 4s. ----
 The duty of the court of common council is to pass a prohibitory ordin- ance that will bring policy Kings to the justice they deserve.
 It must make the policy business illegal and punishable.
 The police will do the rest.
 The Kings must go.
