CLAREsBURG.

CLARKsBURG, w. VA, October 10
At the preliminary trial Justice Riley
held Henry Wetzel without bail for the
action OF the grand jury upon
charge of killing Richard Sprouse. ~ Q
particulars Of the horrible tragedy have
already been fully stated in the REGIS
TER and the question finally to be de-
termined Is whether or not there was
any or sufficient p%royocation on the
part Of Sprouse 10 justify the crime OF
Wetzel.
Your correspondent Is Informed that
SprOuse, who is a brakeman on the rail-
road, carried a thousand dollars on his
life and the payment Of the policy Is
conditioned upon the fact that he came
to his death not in an act provoked by
himself. Consequently considerable in
terest will be manifested by both sides,
as TO whether there was provocation
on the part of Sprouse. WetZel insists
he acted In self-defente. However the
State proceeds on the theory that the
crime committed was murder.

good inducements, and secured 4 large

suitable. II Clarksburg has her just
dues, and petty jealOusies and silly dill
ferences can be reconciled, the school
will be continued at this place, to its
credit and the honor Of the Church.

Prince Bismarck, years ago, said that
his fayorite musical instrument was q
hand organ. He did not mean by that
remark. however, that he was no ad-
mirer OF the "heavenly maid" On the
contrary, the ex-Chancellor is a great
lover of music and musicians. In the
course of a speech to the members OF
the Gessang Verein Orpheus OF Barman'
not long ago, he paid a high tribute 10
the art, recognizing its aid in shaping
the destlnies Of Germany ana IN carry
ingo out his ~far-reaching plans.
"In musIc," said the Prince, among
other things, 81 am unfortunately not
YOUR equal. In the multitude OF things
| was compelled to study in my youth
music was neglected. But despite that
I love it. I am thankful to music be-
cause it helped me so effectually In my
political efforts. The sound OF the
German song won the hearts. l count
it, in fact, among the aids which leo 10
the success Of our strife for union.
Practical examples are not always easy
10 cite, but the first which l now recall
is that Of the Becker Rhinesong In 1871:
It's influence was mighty. The rapid
adoption Of the song by the people
then mostly particularists-had the ef-
feet of two army corps. Later came
the 'Wacht am Rhein.' The singing OF
that wal song on the battleiields In
winter, when food was scarce, strength
ened the heart of many a soldier, and
the heart-feeling is everything In bat
tie. Therefore l do not wish the Ger
man song TO be overlooked as one OF
the wal aids OF the future. wish to
thank you for the aid given me by Ger
man singers In approaching the nation
al idea and carving IL beyond the DOR
ders OF the Fatherland. We should
hardly have remained in such close re-
lations to Vienna had not Haydn, Mo-
Fart and Beethoven llyad there and Gre
ated a bond Of art between the Lower
Rhein and Vienna.
Eyes" added the prince, "our rela-
tions TO our third ally, Italy, were OF q
musical nature before they become DO
litical. The first cOnQuests which Italy
made with US were musical %conquests.
am no enemy of Italian music, despite
my preference OF the German school; on
the contrary, l am an admirer OF 1t. In
this sense l thank you as the guardians
of music-continue TO cultivate 1t. The
German cannot resist the effect Of mu-
sic. He is in the proper humor when
he hears music.
ut is a fortunate thing that our
ruling families are not enemies, but cul-
tivators of music. This would not have
reached so high u state OF perfection In
our country had it not always been cul-
tivated by the ruling families. boston

Wool Market.

The demand has fallen OF to the small
proportions ruling six weeks ago, with
BUYERS only meeting their present needs.
Supplies Of most kinds on the market are
large, and there is a general anxiety 70
sell. Prices are as fully as low as az any
point Of the season, and buyers have the
best of the market. There is no induce
ment shown for manufacturers to stock
their mills, however, and the low price
does not tempt business in the least II the
buyer has no present use for the wool.
Where machinery is being run cool is pur-
chased TO meet daily needs, but even this
demand is falling Of. For XXX and above
Ohio feeces 24c is an extreme 20 sell. while
in the absence Of sales quotations are Ia
many cases merely nominal. The receipts
are moderate, but stocks are heavy, the
Boston sales since January l showing q
falling OF Of nearly 5000, 900 pounds to
date compared with last year.

cial dispatch from Corunna, Mich,
to the Tribune says: William Sulli-
van, a farm hand who so brutally
murdered his employer, Layton
Leetch, and murderously assaulted
the latter's wife, paid the penalty of
his crime last night. He was taken
from the Jail and lynched at $40
o'clock p. NJ. The mob consisted of
over 800 men who shouted them
selves hoarse as the body dangled
ct the end of the rope. just before
he was taken from the cell Sullivan
attempted to commit suicide with q
knife which he had in some manner
concealed about his person. By
means Of sledge-hammers the Jail
was soon broken by the mob and a
moose placed around his neck when
the crowd dragged him through the
Jail corridors to the big Jail yard
and to low, marshy square ground
about 200 yards in rear of the Jail
building. Under the oak the men
fought, struggled and cursed for
the pri vilege of helping to tug at
the rope, which was thrown over 8
limb, and with sudden jerk Sulli.

and apparently unconscious on the
ground was raised to q sitting pos

and shoulders were visible abov,

from hand to hand. Several drew
pocket knives and urged at tn,

moments only the shreds of hi
shirt remained hanging to tn
shoulders. When the body wa
lowered to the ground the portion
of the mob which had been unabl
to get close enough to take a han
in the actual hanging, seized upo
the robe and dragged the hfeles
body through the mire. Afterwar
the crowd dragged him about tn
f streets and around the court hous
