AN UNKNOWN.
4 Stranger Dies by the Roadside Near
Burning Springs.

ELIZABETH, w. Va, Sept IL
The strange death of an unknown
man occurred near Bonnett's Ferry,
below Burning Springs, last evening
AS the Elizabeth mail carrier was
driving along the road near the ferry
he noticed a man about forty years
Of age lying by the roadside in a
dying condition, and being unable
to arouse the man from his condi-
tion he summoned help and the
stranger was carried TO the house
of b. S. Whines, who lives
near by, where he died before a phys
ician could arrive from Burning
Springs. Thestrange man was un-
able to speak or tell who he was or
where he was going, but he was sup
posed to be one Of the many unfortu-
mates tramping through the country
of late on the hunt of work.
The same man passed through
Elizabeth the day before and called
on DIR. Thaw and complained of be-
ing sick and wanted medicine, and
after prescribing for him the doctor
advised him to go to the Kanawha
House where he could get lodging
for the night which the stranger did
but he did not register at the hotel
or make known his name, but inquir
ed of several persons for work. He
showed DIR. Thaw bottle of medi
cine which Dr. Sloan, of Williams
town, had put up for him and the
doctor says there was not much the
matter with him the day before he
died. On his person there was found
letter addressed to Robt. Ford ano
it is thought that is his name, and
Sl.5l in money. The man was bur
led TO day without any inquest and
no doubt bis identity will remain q
mystery.

Hard on the Insurance Men.

Within a very short time three
fires have occurred in and near Nor
gantown that caused a loss of $4, 600
to the several insurance companies
represented by T. W. Anderson.
The first was the elegant residence
of L. N. John near Rnsedale on
which there were $4,000, then the
South Morgantown fire of Sunday
morning $1,000 and on Monday
night Jos. Jones' barn near Laurel
Point $1,000 OF course this does
not cover the loss by any means. 1t
is unnecessary for us to say that
these losses will be promptly paid.
MIR. Anderson would not represent a
company about whose reliability or
responsibility there was any doubt.

Carries Five Guns.

A special from Uniontown, Pa, to
the Pittsburg Press says; "a notori-
Gus colored man named Perkins has
been recognized as the character who
has been doing considerable of the
robbing in this neigh borhood for
some time, and the officers are on the
hunt for him. Yesterday he went to
the house of Mary Mclean, wealthy
woman living near Mt. Braddock,
while she was here at the fair. Per
kins fired his revolver at the hired
man and ran him into the woods, af-
ter which he went through the house,
stealing revolver, some money and
clothing.
He next visited house nearby
and stole some articles. He was seen
at the latter place and recognized,
but escaped.
Perkins killed young woman in
Morgantown year ago, but was
never arrested for that crime. He
carries five revolvers and swears he
will allow no one to take him alive.
He makes his headquarters in Coon
hollow, the toughest section of Union
town, and is harbored by the swarm
of local toughs who populate the
locality.
Perkins it will be remembered was
tried in 1886 on the charge of MUIR
dering Alice Harris, colored woman.
Will Trimble who was indicted as
an accessory was discharged and
died two years ago in Pittsburg
hospital. The jury in the Perkins
trial gave Perkins the benefit of the
doubt which arose from people near
the scene of the murder guessing al
the time he was there and people at
the hotel knowing the actual time
he was in the house. His neck hung
on difference of 80 minutes in time.

self innocent OF the Charges Against
Him.

nlfUs
One of the lowest, meanest and
most contemplate acts yet so far
connected with the removal of the
county-seat from St. George to Par
sons was the arrest of A. NJ. Cunning
ham, Prosecuting Attorney of this
county, upon the charge of receiving
a bride in the discharge OF his Off
cial duty. He was brought before
Squire Talbot and after full and
fair hearing be was discharged as
there were not even grounds for a
suspicion much less grounds for
swearing ont a warrant against him.
Mr.. Cunningham is one and but one
of the county officers who desire to
see the majority Of the people rule
in this county. To say that the
people felt themselves outraged
over the arrest Of Mr. Cunningham
is putting it mildly The parties
who instigated and caused his ar
rest have the condemnation of every
honorable and law abiding citizen.
