Criminal News from MiddIebourne.
Special Correspondence Of the Sunday Register.
MIDDLEBoURNE,W VA, December 13.-
The grand Jury finished their labor for the
December term of court to-day, and found
three indictments, one against Mrs Nor
gan, the wife of Jacob Morgan, who was
murdered at his house near the Richie
county line, in 1888. About four weeks
ago warrants were issued for Charles
Tabler and Jennie Egi, charged
with the Morgan murder. Tabler was ar
rested and lodged in Jail. Detective Gale
tracked Jennie Egil to East Liverpool, o +,
and decoyed her across the river to West
Virginia, arrested her and brought her
back. The warrants in both csses were
dismissed but were held to appear as wit
nesses against Mrs. Morgan, Jennie Egil
not being able to furnish the necessary
bail was committed to all until the next
term of court. Enough information was
gained from the parties above named to
warrant the grand jury in finding an in
dictment against Mrs. Morgan, charging
her with one of the most brutal and in
human murders that was ever committed
within the lines of this State. Detectives
Burnett and Gale have succeeded in con-
Meeting link by link a chain of incidents
that warrants them in the belief that the
guilty party has been apprehended.
H. H. Collins. of Pennsborro, was
arrested here to-day for carrying concealed
weapons, and in default of bail was lodged
in iail to await the action of the grand
Jury at the next term. He is character
of some note. He deserted his family
about seven months ago, and since that
time has following in the wake OF
Jennie Egil. After her arrest ne followed
her here, and now he languishes in jail.
Milton Underwood, charged with the
killing of Abe Campbell, by blowing up
A. B. Gsrrett's house on the PSI Of May,
1888, was discharged but the inyestigs-
tion has opened up the matter in new
light, and it is only question of time
until the guilty parties will be brought to

WASHINGTON, December 14.-Mr.
franklin B. Gowen. the well-known rail-
road official and lawyer, and formerly
President of the Reading railroad, COM
mitted suicide here to-day. He shot him
self in his room at Wormley's Hotel, and

peared to be in excellent spirits, and gave
no apparent manifestation of existing
trouble.
Later in the afternoon the chambermaid
of the hotel went to the room occupied by
Mr.. Gowen bat found the key was on the
inside and Mr.. Gowen in the room. At an
early hour this morning the chambermaid
went again to the room and found the door
still locked but paid no attention to it.
About noon she went to the door again and
this time finding it still locked became
alarmed and informed Mr.. WOrmley, the
proprietor of the condition of affairs. Mr..
Wormley Immediately made an investiga'
ton, and getting q chair to stand on
he looked through the transom when a
horrible sight met his gaze. Lying on the
floor of the room was the dead body of Mr..
Gowen, and beside his knee lay pistol of
small calibre. The persons who saw the
body were not able to tell just how long
Mr.. Gowen had been dead.
Mr.. Gowen came to Washington on the
9th inst, and registered at WOrmley's, and
has been there ever since. He was engaged
as counsel in some very important cases
which have been on hearing before the
Interstate Commerce Commission for sev-
eral days past.

Electric Wires.
NEW YORK, December 14.-At 9:45
o'clock this morning Commissioner of
Public Works GilrOy sent out four gapgs
of men to cut down the poles and wires Of
the electric light companies. Inspectors
of the Board of Electrical Control accom-
panied the men to point out the poles on
which the dangerous wires were strung.
The men in each case started from the
central stations of the electric light COM
panies and worked outward, cutting off
Communication in the greater number of
instances with all outlying points.
Legal representatives Of the companies
asked the Commissioner to grant them
time either to remove or repair any wires
alleged to be defective in insulation, but
their request was peremptorily refused.
Then they warned him that both he and
the city would be held responsible for
damage caused by his actions. The COM

WASHINGTON, December 14.-The in
dustry with which the West Virginia Re.
publican claimants for Democratic seats in
Congress work their claims was illustrated
in the Washington Post Of this morning.
A paragraph stating that Representative
Maish, Of Pennsylvania, had said be would
decide each contested case upon its merits,
concluded with the assertion that Maish
had declared his conviction that at least
two Of the West Virginia contestants were
elected and that he would vote to seat them.
Mr.. Maish authorizes your correspondent to
state that he never uttered any such opiu-
ion. He says it is a fslsehoOd fabricated
by interested parties, that he has not ex
pressed an opinion as TO the West Virginia
contests, because he has not yet had time
to examine the evidence, but that while
he will be governed by the testimony, as q
Democrat, his sympathy will be with the
Demo ocrats This is but another illustra.
tion of the industrious manner in which
the West Virginia claimants are trying to
work the newspapers.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, December IA
Last Sunday W. A. McCorkle, of this city,
slapped the face of U. s. Marshal White.
The Republican press have diligently ex-
aggerated and misrepresented the occur
renee. The most persistent of them has
been the State Tribune, the Republican Or
gan of this city. This afternoon Mr..
McCOrkle met NJ. r, Rober, editor
of the Tribune on Capitol street
and Reber being a man from whom 10
other satisfaction could be be obtained,
Mr.. McOorkle proceeded to give him
thrsshing. Rsber was slightly bruised.
The trouble grew out of the death Of JEFF
ferson Davis. Marshal White remarked
in McCOrkle's presence that Davis should
have been buried in the potter's field,
which remark McCorkle resented.
