Sir. Lockwood Propounds Various Intrl-
cate Questions to President Roberts.
PHILADELPHIA. March 14.-0utslde
of the manifold objections made by M.
I. Lockwood to everything in general
and to the management in particular,
fortv.sixth annual meeting OF the stock
holders OF the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company in Musical Fund Hall this
morning was featureless. 1t began at
eleven o'clock and adjourned ffty-two
minutes later. The initial move oil Mr..
Lockwood was to nominate President
George B. Roberts as Chairman. The
President declined and Hon. Richard
Vaux and John G. Sims, Secretary OF
the company, we're respectively
chosen Chairman and Seere-
tarv. Mr.. Lockwood then wanted
President Roberts TO take seat In the
platform so that he could answer cues
tlons. This was allowed, but no Ques-
lions were answered. The annual re-
mort was then considered, aud for about
every page Mr.. Lockwood had some
thing 10 inquire. His inquiries were
taken down geographically and will
be considered by the incoming board OF
directors. When this had been con-
cluded, Mr.. Lockwood offered thirty
three intricate questions for President
Roberts TO answer. They were pre-
pared by the English stockholders and
were as varied as they were numerous.

Delegates, and Senator d. W. Gall re-
turned home here last Saturday from
their Legislative duties at Charleston,

MouNpsyILLE, w. VA, March II.
To ne Ehtor OF tbs Rs0istsr:
SIR:-A reader of your valuable paper
asks space to say, In the general rush
of appointive offices national and state,
sight should not be lost OF the the i'm
portance Of some of them. Especially
one in which the people OF this COM
munity are interested in general, and
the workingmen in particular. Mar
shall county has a candidate for mine
inspector for the First Mining district
of West Virginia, and as matter OF
Justice thinks her candidate should re-
ceive the appointment.
We effer for consideration by HIS Ex-
cellency, Governor MacCorkle, a candl-
date in the person OF Mr.. Lane Shlmp'
who is a practical coal miner, sub
stantial citizen with a private character
above reproach. In every respect quail
flied to perform the duties OF said OF
flee and is q Democrat OF the nrst
matter.
As TO his services to the Democratic
party those OF US who have gone into
the hedges and highways looking Tor
Democratic voters that we might bring
them in, and have followed the Mounds
willie and Fairview brass bands through
mud and rain, and have been pelted
with stones, bricks, potatoes, apples
and even live cats from dark alleys
while marching in Democratic process
sions can testify that our candidate
was always to be found In the front
column.
The friends Of candidates for various
other pasitions from different parts Of
the State have cited their Democratic
majorities as a reason for preferment.
But pray tell US what do you propose to
do for the 1880 Democratic voters OF
Marshall county? We are in a hopeless
minority and not in condition to come
in for any Of the local Spoils.
For thirty years we have suffered de-
feat after defeat by the Republican
party for county offices, and after each
defeat have picked our "flints" and
tried again.
During all these years we have not
had representative on any State Dem
cratic ticket.
VIII anyone undertake to say we
have not been loyal and contributed our
share to the Democratic cause?
There now being so many good offices
10 give away, ought we not reasonably
to expect this small one, especially
when we have a man so eminently fitted
for the place?
Again, we are heavy taxpayers, Sec
ond to but only one or Two counties OF
the State.
One OF the things complained of by
the founders Of this government was
taxation WITHOUT representation" In
conclusion, VII say, as further evil
dence of our candidates fitness for the
positiGl. he is close touch with organ
lied labor, was elected delegate to the
miners convention at Indianapolis,
Ind, in 1887, and although closely allied
to organized labor is man Of broad
and liberal views. and would not conde-
scend to do operators an injustice.
Should Mr.. Shrimp be appointed by
the Governor, no one would ever have
cause TO regret it.

A Peculiar Case CauTOrnIa-SaId to
Rave Kmedthe wrong Kan.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 14.-Richard
Heath, son OF tine late General Heath, OF
this city. was arrested here last night
for the murder OF Louis L. MeWhirter'
I'm Fresno, last August. Fred w. Pol
lev. now in Jail 90 Fresno for vagrancy,
was also charged with the same crime.
McWhlrter was lawyer and took
prominent part I'm the politics OF that
eitv. He was violently opposed 10 GER
tNin men in that town and had many en-
enies.
bis life had been threatened and on
lhAt account he took out life insurance
policies amounting 10 S60,O About
o'c,ock the morning of August 29th
last M6Whirter was aroused by noises
Ia the back yard. lie went partially
dressed with revolver in hand 90 inVeS-
tigate. Less than a minute from the
time he left the house his wife heard a
succession of pistol shots and rushing
ont. found her husband dead
with a bullet I'm his heart. Near him
was found a revolver and two heavy
clubs, indicating that there were TWO
RssaSsins McWhirter's friends oe!leyeu
he was the victim Of a political plot,
while others, including the Insurance
companies, said he had suicided and
the Insurance companies refused 70 pay
the insurance on McWhirter's life. The
murder caused a great sensation
throughout the State, but no progress
was made In discovering the murderers.
Heath was arrested about o'clock,
and when an officer told him he was
wanted on q charge Of murder be asked,
"Fresno9" The officer answered Eyes,
and Heath said, 81 have been expecting
this. but thought the Id thing had
blown over"
Heath then declared he could prove
an alibi, and that be could prove by the
clerk OF the Grand Central hotel at
Fresno that he went 20 bed az ii O'CLOCK
on the night of August IS, and that he
was asleep in his room at the time Nc
Whittier was killed Heath says
be was McWhirter'S friend, and the
theory is that McWhirter was killed by
mistake. Among the murdered law
yer's firm friends was Joseph l.. Baker,
a well-EnOwn newspaper writer, VINO
was brought down 20 Fresno by Nc
Whittier 20 conduct the Fresno EfDOS-
TOR I'm the interests Of his faction OF the
Democratic party. Baker made many
enemies by his writing, among them
Heath. The latter resented statements
made ia his presence by Baker concern
ing STATE Senator G0ucher, and in a
light which ensued was badly
whipped by Baker. Heath Swore
he would XIII Baker, and hunted
for him the next day with a
revolver. but did not ind the newspaper
man. Heath still SwOre vengeance,
but got no opportunity 10 get even.
About this time McWhirter went 70 the
mountains with his wife; and Baker oc-
cupied his house during his absence.
About a week before the murder Ne
Whirter returned. Heath was work
ing on the Curtis ranch near Fresno
and did not know McWhirter. The
idea is that Heath went 10 McNhirter's
house thinking Baker was there. Ia
tending 70 kill him. Instead; however,
McWhirter rushed Outrevoiver in hand,
and Heath shot the map whom he
called his best friend.
