MARTrSsBuRG, W. Va, June 3.-The

the day was consumed in very spicy
business sessions. There was but one
sermon aud that was preached at Z

Brooking, OF Point Pleasant. The COIN

added to the mission work.

THE BODY IDENTIFIED.
1t was John Neville's Romans found be

It was John Eeville's Remains found bes
low DIoundsylIIe Month ago.
A lady named Neville came down
from East Liverpool yesterday: to learn
all the facts in connection with the
finding OF floater just below Mounds
vile about u month ago. Itwas repor-
ted to be D. NJ. Carey's body at first, and
his friends went down, but it was not
Carey, and from papers on the body it
was thought he was from Pittsburgh,
but MS no friends came forward to claim
the body it was buried near where it
was brought TO shore.
A full account ot the matter appeared
in the IHTELLIGENCER at the time, and
theincident was almost forgotten until
tho arrival OF the East Liverpool lady.
After getting minute description OF
the drowned man, clothing, papers and
all, she says there is not a particle Of
doubt In her mind that tho unfortunate
man was her brother, John Neville.
So thoroughly convinced on this point
is she, that just as soon as it can safely
be done she will have the remains dis.
inferred and taken to East Liverpool
and laid to rest in the home cemetery.
She learned of the finding Of the body
through an old copy of a Wheeling
paper which fell into her hands.

sTEUBENvILIE, ONO, juno 3.-The
story Of the reported robbery and vic
timizing Of John Hanna, a prominent
and wealthy Gross Creek township
farmer, isjust leaking out, having been
suppressed for tho purpose Of possibly
apprehending the thief. It appears
that one day well dressed stranger
drove up in fne buggy to the farmer
and announced that he had been look
ing around for farm in that vicinity
and had seen mono that pleased him as
well rs the ono which Hanna owned.
The farmer was not anxious to sell, but
would do so at his own price, provided
he could buy another Immediately. The
stranger was evidently posted upon the
real estate of the neighborhood and re-
ferred him to another farm in Salem
township that was upon the market,
which could be purchased cheap Tor
cash. The stranger remained all night
with the farmer and next day they
camo to SteubenVille, when the farmer
drew 500 out Of the bank, and they
returned homo for dinner, Upon the
return another stranger was awaiting
them, anxious to sell fruit trees.
Neither wanted any fruit trees, but the
two strangers began blutIing each other,
and finally engaged in card game In
which the first stranger wonSl5G Both
tried every power OF persuasion upon
the farmer to join in the game, but his
education in Hoyle had been neglected
and he was opposed to gambling.
Finally they hitched up and started
away, the farmer in No. ones buggy.
When short distance away some pre-
tense was made for tho farmer leaving
the buggy, and both covered him with
reyolvcrs and made the demand that he
hand over the 500. The farmer at
tempted TO resist, but a shot through
the crown OF his hat demonstrated that
resistance was useless, and he gave up
the money. Both jumped in the buggy,
and with few lushcs upon the spirited
horse were soon out OF sight The story
OF tho robbery was only communicated
to few, but no trace Of the robbers has
vet been secured.

by an Associated Press representative.

outcome OF the convention as he had
just arrived on the ground and there
wero few delegates hero. "For myself,
said he, ~ am for Blaine"
"What will your delegation do"
pennsylvania is strong Blaine
state, and the delegation will be strong
ly for Blaine, but exactly how strong
numerically cannot say, as the delcga.
tion has never had meeting. The
press dispatches from Washing.
ton stating that Secretary Blaine
had informed representative
OF the Associated Press that
he would write no more letters md
make 10 further announcements prior
to the convention were received with
rejoicings by the Blaine men, though
they declare that nothing can prevent
his nomination. Indeed. the general
effect OF this announcement Of the
secretary OF state has been to add en-
thusiasm to the Blaine movement and
inspire tho boomers with increased con-
fderce.
Chairman Clarkson, was asked what
the effect OF the message would be.
~ think it will nominate him." Mr..
Clarkson replied very promptly.
"Wil anybody nominate Mr.. Blaine,
and if SO who?"
II do not supposohe will be formally
placed in nomination, but can't tell
now what course may be decided upon.
Thera is no organized effort in. any
way for Mr.. Blaine. No one is organic
ing movement, but it springs from the
American people who are urging him."

B. Hart, OF Wheeling, and John D.

afternoon arrivals. Mr.. Hart said that
West Virginia was originally for Blaine,
was solid for him in 1884, would have
voted for him in lSsSif he had run, and
liked him very much. "But," he con-
tiuued, i've considered his letter final.
Blaine declined. His letter needed no

him 10 do anything. II Biaine's name

"And so do l." said Mr.. Hewitt, who
Mr. Hart continued: "Wc have been
we'll treated in West Virginia by the
President, but that is not the controll-
ing motive. don't regard the Blaine
movement rs honest. It IS marshaled
by his old enemies, and 4 don't believe
he would take his enemies into his con-
tidence now" Hc thought that others
OF the delegation would probably be OF
the samo opinion. They were for
Blaine, but aro for Harrison, Ho be.
lieved either Blaine or Harrison would
get the electoral vote OF West Virginia.
In conclusion ho said: I'VE come from
