WHEELING, W. VA, FRIDAY MORNING.

Humanity knows no name. or sect, or
religion. 1t is the ancient bond of the
brotherhood. 1t is the testimony in
the common descent from God, the ALI
Father. We ask How can you treat
your brother so? Let a million voices
ask this question in America, and bet
ter treatment of the Jews will follow. :"
HFather O'Donaghue, rector Of St.
Patrick's (Catholic) Church, writes:
mo man but tyrant can indorse the
proscriptive laws passed by the govern
ment of Russia against her jewish sub
jectS; and the government that prac-
tices such despotic acts is doomed to
early dissolution. While the enlight-
ened sentiment Of nations and rulers is
looking daily more and more to the pro-
lection of the individual in his rights
and privileges as a citizen, Russia has
done an act )f injustice TO 4 part of
her population, and will meet with con-
demnation at the hands of honest men
everywhere. Nations are nearer togeth-
er than they used to be; family ties are
becoming closer, and the public welfare
is thing that all people are beginning
TO concern themselves with. The crimes
of government are now promptly tried
at the bar of public sentiment, and no

to-day. The fire department soon got
the flames under control. On the north
side of the house the pOrtico and lawn
was crowded with piles OF handsome

curtains. The Letter house was one oil
the most ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS IN the
city. The damage was almost entlreiy

were discovered and the alarm turned

work to remove the handsome paintings
and furniture and store them IN the
neighboring houses that were

In this way they were assisted oy the
police and number Of willing voiun-

immense trunks packed with gowns Just

THE OTHER SIDE
OF the Killing of Matthews-How He Of
Tended.

Tended.
WASHINGTON, January 1.-The STIR
this evening prints the following: Sena-
tor George, of Mississippi, has received
a number of letters relating to the kill
ing of Postmaster Matthews, who was
in charge of the Office at Carrollton,
Senator Georges home. The following
epistle, given TO Star reporter by the
Senator this afternoon, is from the Bap-
tist minister iD that town:
"At the request of some of our best
citizens | write to give you the particu-
lars of recent unfortunate occurrence
in our town. At $3.50 p. III. on the 25th,
Mr.. j. p. Matthews, our postmaster,
was shot and instantly killed by w. >.
Mcbride, our druggist. We wish to in
form you, and through you the Post
Office Department. that there Is not the
slightest political Importance TO the un-
fortunate killing. 1t was simply and
purely personal difficulty between two
young men. Mr.. Matthews had been
drinking much OF late. He and Mr.
Mcbride were warm personal friends.
But on the night OF the 24th Matthews
was in McBride's drug store making
some Christmas purchases, and they fell
out and had an alteration about plush
dressing-casc worth Il few dollars.
Matthews became exasperated and
struck Mcbride on the head with his
pistol, innlcting an ugly flesh wound.
"On the morning of the s5th
Matthews was drinking and walking up
and down the streets with Winchester
rifle in his hands. He was arrested by
Sheriff Mccain, and put up a forfeit OF
500 for his appearance at the Mayors
Court next morning and was eDjoined
to stay in his store. He had just short
time before passed the drug store and
stopped at the door and looked in, and
in loud tone told Mcbride he was
ready for him. When released by the
Sheriff, upon his putting up a forfeit,
he went TO his store-the postOilice-
but in few minutes seized his gun and
came out on the streets, and, with gun
in hand, proceeded towards the
drug store. When he reached
the south corner OF the hotel gallery, at
the north corner cf Jackson's grocery.
Mcbride stepped out OF the drug store
on the pavement and shot him in the
breast with load of buckshot, killing
him instantly. Mcbride surrendered
TO the authorities and gave bond be-
fore the Circuit Court"
Other letters are strongly corrobora-
tive of the testimony Of the minister.
President Harrison, with the assist
ance of Postmaster General Wanamaker
and Gen. Whitfield, the First Assistant
Postmaster General, is making an inves-
tigation into the recent killing OF Mat
thews.
