Independence day was fittingly cele-
brated at Moundsville. The town was
alive with residents and country peo-
pie, the latter beginning to arrive early
in the morning. Business houses and
private residences were handsomely
decorated apd number OF brass bands
helped make things lively. The big
trades parade began to move at,half-
past 10 and proved very handsome
demonstration.
In the afternoon BICYCLE slow and
boys races were run. Though several
rain showers came up, the fun was not
stopped, as the court house offered a
convenient place for shelter. At $3.50
PM. Col. D. D. Johnson arrived and

Tho Usual amount of Noise and Number of
Picnics.
The Fourth was more generally cele-
brated in Wheeling and vicinity than,
usually. Business was almost entirely
suspended. An immense amount Of
powder was burned in various forms,
and there were great many picnics.
At the Park very attractive programme
OF amusements was given, and the crowd
was ono Of the largest ever seen there
The picnic given by Mr.. Allen S.
Howell at his delightful home, Wad-
dington Place, on Saturday, was attend
ed BY about one hundred people, young
and old. The bad weather kept many
from going out, but those who did go
had an enjoyable time despite the
weather. The guests went out in We
hicles OF every description in the after
noon and returned home at midnight.
When dark set in an elegant display of
fireworks was witnessed. The guests
then adjourned to the house where they
were delightfully."- entertained in the
evening by Mr.. Chas B. OFT, who recited
several Of his fayorite pieces.
The South Side fishermen had a big
crowd at theirpicnic at the fair grounds.
During the afternoon occasional show
ers came up, but they did not seem to
deter the people from coming. The
crowd was quiet, and orderly. Lots OF
money changed hands on the wheels OF
fortune and various other gambling de-
vices, of which nearly half dozen were
grouped in the neighborhood Of the bar.

KILLED BY ITALIANS.
Two colored Men Well Known
Here Assaulted Saturday.
ONE is KILLED And ONE INJURED
so that He is not Expected to Live.
Two of the Assailants Escape but
Eleven are Arrested---T Testimony at
the Inquest Yesterday.

Intelligence reached this city Satnr-
day of the killing Of one man and the
probably fatal injuring of another out
in the Short Creek valley on the other
side Of the river. Friends ot-thetwo
men went out yesterday, and on their
return last evening confirmed the re-
ports.
Sport" Carriher and his brother,
Wilson Carriher, were walking along
the road Saturday when they passed a
shanty in which twelve Italians and one
colored man were celebrating the Fourth
around a key Of beer. The colored man
invited the two strangers in to take a
glass Of beer, and sportswent, Wilson
declined, as he does not drink anything,
Just as their guest was about to taste
his beer one Of the men said in dago
dialect:
Whats the matter? You act as ii
you didn't want to drink with u.s."
Sport responded that lie was not very
particular about it, as lie did not know
any OF the crowd.
The colored man in the gang said
that if the visitors had not been well
come he would not have invited them
in Sport raised his glass to drink, but
Just then he was struck q, stunning blow
from behind.
BOTH ASSAULTED.
Wilson was watching proceedings
from without, and he rushed to the res
cue Of his brother, when all the men in
the place set on the two.
Sports head was cut open with alarge
dirk-knife, and his skull caushedinwith
q pickaxe. Both he and his brother
were badly used up, and he did not live
long, while the report yesterday was
that Wilson also was lyingat the point OF
death. - ~ 5sEEGa
Both the men formly. lived here, and
Wilson organized the Morning Star
lodge OF the colored X. of p. order here
about q year age. Henry Graves and
Dave Grant, members OF the lodge, went
out to investigate the report yesterday
and found that it was true and that no
arrests or attempts to'arrest had been
made. They went to Steubenville, as
the crime was committed in Jefferson
county, and informed the sheriff and
coroner, both OF whom went down.
ELEVEN ARRESTS MADE
The sheriff took three deputies with
him, and he and these three, assisted
by Graves and Grant and the coroner,
arrested eleven Of the Italians, all who
remained in the shanty. The colored
man and one Italian, suspected to be
the worst offenders, had departed. y ~, -,
The county coroner impaIeled d Jury
and took what evidence he could gel.
1t showed about the state of affairs to
exist which is above narrated, and the
jury brought in verdict in accordance
with the facts.
The eleven prisoners were taken to Steu-
benville yesterday afternoon to belheld
for trial. A great deal of Indignation
against the gang exists in the vicinity
OF the crime, as the murderous assault
il said to have been without proyoca-
ton or excuse. It looked as If the men
were invited into the shanty for no other
purpose but to. assault them.
1t is said the two men who escaped
came to Wheeling together.g

A SHAMEFUL OFFER.

1t is quite evident that we must exer-
else exceeding care in selecting men to
compose delegations to plead the cause of
California at the East; men who will not
permit their enthusiasm to run away
with their Judgment.
The committee of San Franciscans now
IN Washington urging the Executive
Committee of the National Republican
party to locate the National Republican
Convention for 1892 in California, have
had the bad taste to make an offer to the
committee that is nothing short of an in
suit to every man upon it who is self
respecting and declines to defile himself.
Here we have the news of the astonish-
ing inducement offered of free stage
ride from Raymond to the Yosemite Val
ley for the forty-eight members of the
Executive Committee if-note the venal
proviso-they will locate the Republican
Convention here.
Such propositions usually emanate
from intelligences actuated by venal in
stincts. Possibly the delegates who make
this offer to the committeeman may not
be alive to the venality of the proposition.
It is common charity to credit them with
unthinking. Nevertheless the offer rep
resents the influence of a venal atmos-
phere.
If it is iustifable to offer the committee
special inducements, personal to them
selves, though such inducements are of a
social and hospitable character, it would
be equally proper to offer them the coin
to Fay their fare into Yosemite Valley for
private junketing trip. Self-respecting
men upon the Executive Committeeman
we assume all to be such-cannot receive
the proposition as other than species of
bribe to influence their Judgment. They
are in place to do their duty to their
party. and to permit no personal gains,
comforts or pleasures to determine their
action.
The offer has probably injured the
cause of San Francisco in this matter,
| and her defeat may be taken as accom-
plished. IF, however, our estimate of the

DOMESTIC martyrdom is as painful as
death at the stake" says the st. Paul
Globe. More so. We know men who
would gladly end all by death self-im-
posed, were it not cowardly, to be freed
from the home skeleton. The courageous
men who do their duty and conceal the
woes of their households from the world
are far more numerous than most people
suppose. There are wives and mothers,
too, who are heroic in their martyrdom
and who wear an outward smile while
grief and tyranny crush their hearts.
The heroes and heroines of life are not
all written such before an admiring and
applauding world. The greater number
are those whose daily crucifixion the
world does not suspect.

committeeman is at fault, and they are
open TO these offers to sell their judg-
ment, we beg leave to suggest that the
Golden Gate Park Commissioners sup
plement the proposition of the San Fran
cisco delegation with an offer to the Ma
tional Republican Executive Committee
of free ride on the children's merry-go-
round, provided always-and this should
be the kernel of the bargain-that the
committee sell us the National Republi-
can Convention.

BISHOP PERRY of Iowa, formerly pro-
hibitionist, voted against prohibition at
the late election because, as he declares, he
has become convinced of its failure in
practice. He says he has seen it fail in
five States utterly. Under prohibition, he
adds. there was as much drunkenness as
before-the drug stores became the
saloons. This testimony, coming from a
Christian minister who changed his
views on prohibition deliberately and
after experience of its operation, is
worthy of profound respect.
