A Meeting Yesterday. Productive OF No
Results.
The Board of County Commissioners
met yesterday afternoon at three
o'clock, as was announced yesterday
morning, for the purpose Of hearing the
report of the Committee OF Six, and OF
taking whatever action seemed advlsa-
ble The report of the Joint Commit
tee was read, and a statement made OF
the action OF Council Tuesday night.
This latter, or course, altered the
general situation, as no money would
be expected from the county, In aid
Of the city relief work. The mem
bers discussed st considerable length
the question Of what work the county
might do close to the city, and IL was
decided, virtually, that about the only
item was the breaking OF small
amount OF stone at the lower
end of the river road, north OF the
city, and breaking Of small lot OF
stone and the building Of dry retain
ing wall on the Fairmont pike. When
it came to getting the money, however,
even these small items Of work could
not De uQO6Tldk6ns anu dlgei iOhh
discussion, and a recess for the inter
changing of opinion among the mem
bers, the following resolution was
adopted:
RESOLVED, That inasmuch as the appro'
priations for roads has been exhausted,
we deem it inexpedient to undertake any
new work on public roads at this time;
but we desire TO give assurance that the
overseers Of the poor will continue to do
all in their power, under the most liberal
construction of the law, to relieve the ne
cessities Of the worthy poor, and those
persons temporarily in want by reason OF
lack of employment"
With the adoption of this resolution,
the Board turned to other things, and
nothing more was done in the relief
line.

To the Editor Of the Register:
I see in your paper this morning
certain Councilman In Wheeling makes
a remark about the W. B. I. R. r. en-
ploylng fifty men at dollar day,
which is wrong. We never employed
over thirty-thrse men, and we pay them
one dollar and thirtY-fve cents q day.
1 wish In the future this man would in
form himself before be goes to talking
in public about thing he don't know
anything about; and the sooner the
Wheeling people wake up 10 their
senses to elect 8 man TO the Council
that keeps himself informed about
things going on in Wheeling, the better
it will be for the people. He could
simply come to me and l could show
him the letter Of instructions and the
book, that we are paying one dollar and
thirtv-fve cents a day.

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb 27.-Miss Julia
Force. aged 81, monomaniac, whose one
fatal delusion cherishedjfor years. is that
her mother and. her sisters were her bit
terest enemies, wreaksd the vengeance
which she had plotted for years by putting
bullet into the brain Of each Of her
younger sisters just at the hour of noon
Saturday. Julia was alone in the house
at the time, and it is believed that she
crept up behind her sisters and shot them
while they were not looking. Mis- Minnie
Force was aged IS and Miss Florence 50
Sent Word to Her Brother
Locking her victims in the room in which
they bad been shot Miss Julia quietly
donned her street costume. and walking
hurriedly to police headquarters surren
dered. She told the officers OF her deed
without culver of a muscle She was de.
tanned under guard. She had also sent
word to her brother that Florence, who was
an invalid, was worse. He hurried home
and felt that a tragedy had occurred, owing
to the silence Going 70 Florences room
he found her body lying across the bed
weltering in blood, and wound in her
head just above the left ear He then
rushed from the room in search of Minnie
The Second Victim Found.
In the sitting-room lay the body of Min
ME. She was dead with pistol wound in
the right temple. She lay at full
length on her back, with her arms extend
ed behind her as if she had thrown them
up in falling backward. Blood had ceased
to flow from the wound, but it lay in
great pools around her, was matted in her
hair and covered her face, to which it inn
parted hideous look. From the position
Of the body it appears that Miss Minnie
was advancing toward thel door, when her
sister entered, pistol in hand, and had re-
ceiyed the fatal shot directly in the face.
Condition OF F1orence's Body.
The position in which Florence's body
lay indicated that she had risen from the
bed in alarm, and just as her feet touched
the floor had received the shot which
made her a corpse She was lying on her
back across the bed, both hands clasping
her bosom in the attitude of fright. Her
eyes were wide open with the fixed death
stare and her features were hard to recog-
niZe, so clotted were they with the blood
from the hole above her ear, where the So
calibre ball had entered. She wore her
sleeping garment only. There was no evil
dence of a struggle in the room.
The Murderess Refuses to Talk.
Julia Force is in prison. She refuses to
say a word to any one. She is fine speci-
men of physical womanhood. Since they
came here some years ago Miss Julia Force
has made her home with her two brothers.
She received every attention that brotherly
love could prompt. She has always been
regarded as peculiar. She was willful, and
would become melancholy and wretched
for days over some fancid slight.
