LAIR d. MORRALL DEAD.
A Prominent Citizen of Barbour County
Passes Away.

Passes Away.
SDsci1t T JsgrIw to The Register.
PHILLIPPI, w. VA, January 25.-Lair d.
Morrall, by far the most noted character
in the history Of this county, died at his
home here to-day at the advanced age of a
years. MIR. Morrall had been suffering for
about three weeks from severe cold which
during the past nine days has merged into
heart trouble.
He was born in Pendleton county, Octo-
Der 18th, 1914, but early in life moved to
what is now Barbour county, it beng a
part of Randolph county then. At sixteen
he began business for himself continuing
M 10 his last illness. He has served as
Sheriff, Assessor, Clerk Of the County and
Circuit Courts. Justice OF the Peace, Com
missioner Of Chancery and in many other
important public capacities. AS success
full political leader he never had an equal
in this section. As citizen he was up
right, widely known and very popular. AS
a Christian he spent the last tweHtY-eight
wears of his life in the Presbyterian
Church, being an elder in that church here
since 1870.
She was married in 1S43 and lived in
Philhppi continuously ever since, except
ing period during the war He has al
WAYS been conspicuous in the management
of the cOunty's affairs, and no man who
ever lived in it was more keenly awake TO
his county's interests than me- He was al
ways a staunch and outSpoken Democrat,
and was for years recognized as the main
stay of that party in this county. His
wife, two daughters and one son survive
him

send really able Statesman, or a com
mission, to Chile to ascertain the true
inwardness Of the affair and decide
thereon, is worthy of careful consider
alton.
At any rate, Congress should beware
Of the lingo policy suggested by Mr..
HARRISON, who, evidently, is more anxi-
Gus TO secure a denomination than to
resent an insult TO the Stars AMI Stripes.
The difficulty doubtless can be set
tied In a peaceable manner without the
sacrifice OF one iots Of the dignity or
honor Of the American people. Let us
try arbitration before We talk Of war.
The general opinion seems to be in
favor Of conservative action and Of care
ful consideration ana investigation be-
fore we make move. All agree, how
ever, that the Chilean government must
be made to apologize for MArrA'S inso-
lence and make full repsration for the
Valparaiso outrages and the Insult to
the Stars and Stripes.

A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.

A Young Woman Cuts Another Young
Womau's Throat at EsemphiS, Tenn, on
the street
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Janurry 25.-The
most sensational tragedy which has &C.
Cured in Memphis for years was COM
mltted this afternoon. The victim was
a young lady and her slayer was one OF
the same sex. Both were familiar fig
ures in society, and the awful affair is
tonight the talk of the town.
Shortly before o'clock Miss Alice
Mitchell and Lizzie Johnston drove up
TO the Custom House, and moment
later Miss Freda Ward. of Gold Dust,
Ark, and her sister 10 came up the
levee. Without warning Miss Mitchell
jumped from the buggy, and, drawing
a razor, cut Miss Wards throat.
The murdered girl sank to the pave
ment and her sister grappled with the
murderess, who turded on her and cut
her on the neck. She then jumped into
the buggy and drove away. Miss Ward
was picked up and carried to an intirm-
airy, but died on the way.
The murderesS was arrested tonight.
The cause of the killing is not posi-
lively apparent, as Miss Mitchell re-
fuses to say word to anybody on the
subject. 1t is alleged that Miss Ward
has made remarks of a decidedly un-
complimentary nature regarding Miss
Mitchell, and this latter allegation is
supposed to have beer the cause OF the
tragedy.
Miss Mitchell is the eighteen-year-old
daughter Of George Mitchell, retired
furniture dealer. Miss Ward is the
daughter of John Ward, planter and
wealthy merchant of Gold Dust, Ark.
At the inquest this evening the jury
rendered verdict charging Miss
Mitchell with the killing and that it
was uremeditated.

Mr.. HARRISON has now played his
trump card for a denomination. It's
not big enough.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1892-01-26

The long-expected message Of Presi-
dent HARRISON on the subject Of the
Chilean controversy was sent TO Con-
gress yesterday, aud it, together with
the substance of the correspondence be-
tween the two Governments, will be
found elsewhere.
The document is a strong presenta-
tion OF our side Of the controversy,
based on the information contained in
the official correspondence. These OH
cial facts, as they have come 20 his no
tice, however, are all the President
takes into account, and his message is
more like the speech Of a prosecuting
attorney to a jury whom be desired 70
convince Of the criminality Of the de-
PENDANT, than a message Of the Presi-
dent Of a great Republic DESTROYS Of
settling a complicated difficulty with q
sister republic in a peaceable and dig
nifed manner.
Mr. HARBIsoS's voice is plainly for
war, though he throws the whole re-
syonsibility on Congress.
He begins with an endorsement OF
Minister EeAN's conduct without res
ervation, thereby prejudicing the case
of the United States at the outset, for ev-
cry intelligent person who has kept track
OF the dispute and is cognizant Of the
facts Of the case knows that EGAN is
almost wholly responsible for the hostile
sentiment Of the Chilean government
and the Chilean people toward the
United States. Most certainly
Chile would not, without good
cause, act as she has acted to-
ward a sister Republic and friendly
power, which, If it came TO open hostil-
tiles, could wipe her off the face Of the
earth.
Chile has but three million people,
while we have 65, 900, 900, and we have
twenty-five times the resources Of our lit
tie SouthAmerican neighbOr, who has not
vet recovered from an exhausting civil
war. Such a fight between a giant on
the one side and a pigmy on the other,
would not 60 far toward winning the
respect Of the world for the United
States, nor add to Uncle Sans dignity.
However, the President has sent an
ultimatum to Chile and has cOmmuni-
Gated his views on the subject to Con-
gress, which is thus constituted a jury
20 decide on the merits Of the case.
That it is a strong one, from the
Presidents point Of view, is certain,
but Congress should not allow the "wsr
spirit" to throw It of its base. There
are many things to take into consider
alton, not the least Of which is that
there Is considerable politics mixed up
with Mr.. HABRIsoN's warlike attitude.
In this connection, by the way, it will
be noted that Mr.. BLAINE is on the side
Of a peaeeable settlement Of the trouble
as are an clear-headed and conservative
men judging from the views which
been made public.
