One Well known Citizen Kills Another

One Well Known Citizen Kills Another.
CHARLESTON, w. VA. Nov. 3d.
The neighborhood was startled this
morning by the announcement that
Charles Grogan, a well known gen.
tleman, had been found murdered
about half a mile above here in Dark
Hollow. While the coroner's jury
was sitting on the case, Tol. S.
Neale, the popular young business
man connected with the Singer ma
chine Office, walked into the Justices
Office, gave himself up, and stated
that he had shot Grogan. He said
he was coming home, having col
lected some, money. When he
reached the hollow it was very
dark, and a man stepped out and
caught the horse by the bride.
Neale thought it was highway
man, and fred. He came on to
town, not knowing whether he had
hit the man or not.

THEYc GO FREEI
The Men Held For the Ford.s Theatr.
Collapse.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The court of
appeals sustained the demurrer in the
case of Colonel Ainsworth, chief of the
bureau of pension awards. and TIRES
other persons, engineers and contract
ors. indicted with him for man
slaughter, in causing the collapse of the
old Ford theater building on June 0
last, by which 81 clerks lost their lives
and number Of others were more or
less injured. The court, in brief, held
that the indictment was fatally de
fec4ive; did not show facts which would
enable the court to determine by legal
construction whether there was joint
duty created and imposed on all the de-
PENDANTS alike. The court remands the
case to the criminal court, which will
discharge the defendants.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.-The free coin
age men of the house do not see any
silver lining in the message of Pres
ident Cleveland. They exhibited some
but as expressing their belief that the
president did not care to see any legis-
!: tion looking to the remon tizationf of
silver. They said that the suggestion
about an international conference was
vague and indicated that there was not
much apparent desire on the part of
the administration to have the question
considered at an early day. In talking
to such members of congress as are
claimed to be free silver men, but who
voted to repeal the Sherman law, the
tree coinage men said that it was the
fulfillment of what they predicted at
the time; that the unconditional repeal
of the Sherman law meant that there
would be no more silver legislation
during this congress, and that it was
not intended that there should be any
during the present Administrations

That Democratic tariff bill is all
right; it will give the people what
the Democratic national platform
promised them, and the sooner Con-
gress passes it the better. This is
one way to hold West Virginia in
the Democratic column. Should
enough Democratic members of the
House and Senate antagonize the
Wilson bill to defeatit, Democrats
may as well fold their tents and
stop battling for ascendency.

On Saturday afternoon and night
Swamptown was fairly humming with
music and mirth made by large num-
Der of persons from this and other tow ms,
who were here attending Hungarian
wedding. Among the number was a
Hun from Drifton, who had become
tired and left for his home about mid
night. Nothing more was seen of him
until yesterday. On Sunday morning
cavein was discovered on the road lead
ing out of Swamptown, which was about
ten feet in diameter and nearly sixty
feet deep. About II O'Clock several
small boys were passing by, and began
throwing stones in it, when voice came
from below begging piteously for them
to stop.
The boys gave the alarm and several
Huns came and spoke to him down
the falin, then went down another
old cavein, over clay, rocks, debris of
every description, and through a head
ing into the next breast, where they
found the Hun who had left the we'd
ding twelve hours before. He had re-
ceived but few slight bruises, though
he was badly frightened. He was taken
to the Hazleton hospital during the af-

day after electing the following officers
for the coming year; National delegate

said that there had been a very large in
crease in membership throughout the

received.
There has been an increase of 10000
members in this country during the past

Hardly anything was saved. The flames

business district of the city is Quilted.

Where to Stop in chicago.

The perplexing question which is every
day asked by people who desire to go to
Chicago to attend the Worlds fair is,
"Where are we going to stay when we get
theref' This is easily answered, and If
you will go to the ticket agent of the
Santa Fe, Mr.. W. NJ. Smith, he will tell
you.
Arrangements have been made for the
distribution by the Santa Fe company of
a pamphlet entitled "Homes for Visitors
to the Worlds Fair" This is reliable
pamphlet containing the rames and ad-
dresses of about 5000 families who will
furnish accommodations to visitors from
May to October 81, 1898. The pamphlet
also contains sectional maps which will
enable the intending visitor to select any
quarter of the city that he would prefer.
Correspondence can then be carried on
and definite arrangements made SO that
when visitors arrive in Chicago they can
proceed at once to their quarters.
