FAIRMONT, W. Va, May %. "A strange
story of outrage comes to us from Man
ningtOn district of this county. Some
weeks since the barn of one L. D Beatty
burned, and suspicion rested upon a citi-
zen OF named Elijah Hawkinberry as the
incendiary. Toe susp,ct was arrested by
Constable Jack Hays, who, on account of
Hawkinberry's recent recovery from an at
tack of measles, would not bring him to
Warrington through the rain at night, but
concluded to keep him at the residence of
George Beatty until morning.
While there a number of masked men
came to the door and demanded admit
.snce and the prisoner, and stated they in
tended to hang him. The officer showed
fight, but was overswed by numbers, and
the mob placed rope around the mans
neck and ordered him to come on. A min
lister, said to have been Rev Rich, who
was also staying at Mr.. Beaty's over night,
mentioned the desirsbility of praying for
the doomed man, and, his suggestion meet.
ing favor, he offered up lengthy and fer
vent prayer appropriate to the Occason
Hawkinberry meanwhile protested his in
nocence in a most positive manner, but at
the conclusion of the prayer the mob took
him out and down into the orchard, where
they arranged for hanging bee.
Throwing the rope over limb they de-
msnded of Hiwkinberry that he tell who
burned the barn, and he said he did not
know. Then pull upon the rope brought
him clear of the ground, and he was al
lowed TO dangle for a moment. He was
then let down aud the same questions
we're asked and like answers returned as
before. He was pulled up second time
and let down, and it was found that he
knew nothing of the affair, he was turned
over to the constable and taken TO Man
ninington, where, in the hearing before
Justice Christy, not particle of evidence
was found against him, and he was hon
orably discharged. These are the details
Of the occurrence, rs we get them from
reliable authority. Hawkinbsrry seems
afraid to talk, but Prosecuting Attorney
Hsggerty will have thorough investiga-
ton of the occurrence before the next grand
Jury, and some citizens may remove from
ManningtOn district to the Penitentiary
II is a misfortune for the wretches engaged
in this diabolism that the Csrtwrights are
all gone, and they can find no other inno-
cent people upon whom they can saddle
the blame Of this new oULrsge.

Divinity Students Reported as In Dread OF
Robert Elsmere's Metaphysical Fate
NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 25.-It is re-
ported that there are many students in the
Yale Divinity School who agree with Pro-
fessor Russell's views or miracles, and
have asked the faculty to recall him, but
in vain. Six or eight students say that
they will not enter the ministry uutil their
beliefs are more firmly settled. They have
been reading Robert Eismere."
Professor Ru, sell is out in a ea,d to-day,
in which he says that he has never taught
or believed or justified the inference that
the miracles recorded in the New Testa-
ment are unsupported by historical evi'
dence, or are valueless for Christian theol-
Ogy. In his address on miracles he says
that he distinctly affirmed his belief in the
reality of those miraculous occurrences,
nor did he advance any positions incom-
bstible with the fullest recogni ion of the
supernatural origin and character of Chris
tianitV.

letters on slip of paper, and moving her
fingers over il, as the blind do in reading.
Then she was given the knife so that she
