A PROBABLE KILLING.

Edward Ross, of Doddridge County, Shot
by Nathan Johnston on Cabin Run.
Special Dispatch 10 the Inteltqenccr
WEST UNION, W. Va, Jan. 17.-Ed-
ward Ross was shot by Nathan J ohnston
near the formers home on Cabin Run,
last Monday, the ball entering the left
breasts and so far the physicians have
been unable to locate the ball, although
the wound has been probed to a depth
of five inches. The trouble seems to
have originated by Andy Johnston, q
brother of Nathan, having talked about
him last Friday. On Monday Ross was
just leaving his home with a team when
Nathan Johnston came along on his
way from Oxford. He told Ross that
he had understood that he, Ross, was
going to whip him, at the same time
getting off of his horse and inviting
Ross to get out and do it and say
ing now was the accepted time.
Ross got out OF the wagon but
hand. Then he picked up stone and
told Johnston he would not fight fair, as
he saw some weapon in his hand.
Johnston told him if he threw the rock
he would shoot him. Ross threw the
rock but missed Johnston, and the two
men clnched, Ross falling on top, and
while in this position Johnston fred,
the ball taking effect as stated above.
Immediately after Ross was shot he
took the revolver, 3S-calibre Smith
& Wesson, from johnston and threw
it over into Rosss garden and got into
his wagon and drove to his fathers
house, distance of quarter OF a mile,
when he was overcome by loss OF b lood
and pain from his wound. Johnston,
as soon as the fight was over, got on his
horse and hurried to his home, couple
of miles below, on Cabin Run, but in
Ritchie county, whore he was arrested
afterward by Constable Calvin Dotson
on warrant. He is in Jail awaiting the
result of Ross's wounds.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Jan. 17.-Sev-
eral weeks ago Edward Jordan, young
man sent up from this county to the
state reformatory at Pruntytown, es-
capped from the institution and a re-
ward of S25 was offered for his recap
ture. The authorities learned q few
days ago that Jordan was at a relatives
at Ironton, and Jailer Levi Jones pro-
ceeded there and arrested him, and was
returning to this side with his prisoner
when he point blank refused to 60 with
out reputation papers. He was lodged
in Jail there and his people have been
fighting the case for a week in the court
there.
A requisition was sent from Governor
5MacCorkle to Governor Mckinley, at
Columbus, but ordan's attorneys de-
manded that they be- hoard before the
papers were endorsed, and on Sunday
last the Ironton officials were about to
release Jordan from custody, when a
dispatch was received from Governor
Mckinley saying to hold him, as the
requisition papers would be endorsed.
Since then the friends of the young
man have placed other legal complica-
tions in tho way to prevent his being
brought back, but late last night the
taller received word to come to-day and
take him. The latter officer has ex-
pended four times the sum of the re-
ward in his legal battle.

BIounts Report Gets a Black Ego from n
Naval officer.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 17.-Lieut.
Commander Swineburne, of the Boston,
was the only witness before the senate
subcommittee investigating the Ha-
waiian question to-day. He is tine Off
Ger who had active command of the
American troops on shore in Honolulu
at the time of the revolution one year
ago and his testimony is considered i'm
portant as it bears upon some points
which have been in dispute and to
which much importance is attached.
He was questioned concerning the
time of landing, the location of the
troops in Arion hall, and the time of the
surrender of the station house. He was
also asked to explain how the troops
chanced to be located at Arion hall, and
was reminded of the charge made by
Mr.. Blount and the friends of Queen
Liliuokalani, that of all places this was
one of the best calculated to serve the
purposes of the provisional government,
being located Just across narrow street
from the government buildings, where
they would prove menace to
the queens forces. It is under
stood that Mr.. Swineburne admitted
that more fortunate selection could
have been made and that he said he
had, previous to the landing, advised
that some other place be chosen. In
the main, however, his testimony cor
roborated the statements of Minister.
Stevens and the officers of the provis-
ional government. He contended that
there had not been any conspiracy in
5volving the naval force.
Mr.. Swineburne was also reminded of
the discrepancies in statements con-
cerning the time of the surrender of the
station house. He said this occurred
two or three hours after the landing of
the Boston troops, or about 7:30 p. m.

DANY1LLE, PA, Jan. 17.-Fiye masked
outlaws made a raid on the postofice at
an early hour this morning. A police
man saw a masked man crouching in
the doorway and drew revolver, but
before he could fire the stranger slipped
around a corner. The policeman
rushed to the homes Of Officers Dave
Rissel and John Want Gilger, and gave
the alarm.
In few minutes the three men ran
to the postoffice in time to meet the
mysterious stranger emerging from the
door followed by companion. They
blew loud, piercing whistle and com

who lodged behind the lamp post and
returned the fire. Ten shots were
exchanged, when the robbers were
reinforced by three more men.
Every one was we'll armed and con-
tinuous round of firing commenced.
The bandits formed a'square and hugged
the stone steps leading to the massive
building where they wore able to es-
cape the policemen's bullets
Numerous citizens appeared, armed

The firing became SO warm that the
robbers concluded to retreat to- the
river bank. Thoy discharged three vol
leys at the excited townsmen and ran
eastward, each side exchanging shots.
Van Gilger, who led the pursuers,
suddenly threw up his hands and fell,
shot through the lungs. About the
same time two of the robbers fell.
Their comrades grabbed them, and dur
.inga momentary halt of the pursuers
managed to reach the Susquehanna
river.
row boat was secured and the three
outlaws, after laying their wounded
companions at the bottom of the. boat,
commenced sculling in the direction of
the Northumberland side.
The pursuers, now force OF one hum
dred infuriated men, secured as many
boata as possible and an. exciting chase
commenced, revolvers and rifles crack
ing at every turn, but no one was hit.
Owing to their good start, the outlaws
succeeded in reaching the opposite
side before the foremost beat
containing the police was half
way across, and when the pursuers
touched land the daring men were in
the mountains, which are being secured
on all sides by the sheriff's posse. 1t is
thought the bandits will seek cave in
order to hide their wounded compan-
ions and throw the posse off their scent.
In the event of their being surprised
another desperate battle will occur.

HuNT1NeToN, W. Va, Jan. 1.-THE
Democratic mass convention held hero
tonight to endorse the Wilson tariff
measure attracted several hundred per-
sons.
Many speeches were made. and when
the committee on resolutions reported
there was quite an expression of views
on part of them which called upon all
Democratic officials holding Office who
were opposed to the Wilson bill, or any
part thereof, to resign, and denounced
them as traitors. Governor MacCorkle's
name was not mentioned, but, as a
member of the committee stated, it
came near being.
Ex-Sheriff Kyle, Sol Marcum and ].
S. Perry, leading capitalist, took up
the fig hit for two hours q bitter fight
followed, but the convention voted
down all amendments by an overwhelm-
ing vote. Mr.. Perry denounced the
Wilson bill as sectional measure in
the strongest terms.
There was much interest manifested
in political circles here over the OUT
come of the meeting. The general inn
preston among politicians was that the
principal reason was for the purpose of
denouncing Governor McCorkle, as the
call was made by the famous Barnum
club, which organization has never had
any. love for his excellency, and which
thought that an opportunity presented
itself to do little more to injure Mo
Corkle's future political prospects. Last
night the leaders of the club had work
ers out in every direction warning its
friends to be out tonight, as there was
every indication that as soon as the res-=
olution against the governor was intro
!duced there would be stampede in.

friends who will not forsake him even
if he does believe, like themselves, that

Virginia. They openly state this The
effect of all this will be to widen the
breach that has existed in the Demo
cratic ranks here for months.

His Amendment to the Wool Schedule
Voted Down-Free Wool Goes Into
Effect From its Passage.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE ways and
means committee suffered its first de-
feat to-day, when, by vote of 112 to
102, the COMMITTEES of the whole re-
iected Mr.. Wilson's amendment fixing
the date on which free wool should go
into effect as august /. 1894. and adopted
the substitute of Mr.. johnson, the Ohio
free trader and single taxer, making it
go into effect Immediately on the pas
sage of the bill. Many of the Republic
cans voted with the radical Democrats
for the substitute
It was Mr.. Wilson'S intention had
his amendment prevailed to have
offered an amendment making the
wooden schedule go into effect Decem-
Der j, 1894. but when the committee
overruled him he decided to let the lat
ter schedule stand and go into effect
with the rest of the bill June i, 1894.
Just before the vote was taken, Mr..
Wilson stated that the jobbers were
now hesitating whether to place their
orders for fall goods here or abroad and
if the committee amendment carried,
the home manufacturers would make
next falls goods.
Only one other amendment was acted
on to-day, to allow the free entry in
bond of machinery, as well as the ma
terials used in the construction of ships
built for foreign account.
The rest of the day was spent discus
sing an amendment of Mr.. Burrows to
substitute the present wool schedule for
that proposed by the Wilson bill.
at $50 the house took a recess until
8 o'clock.
At the night session Mr.. sperry
Dem.. Comm made vicious assault
on the Wilson bill on the ground that
in the face of certain deficit in the
treasury of S70,o00,OO0 bv June 80 next,
in the face of the appeal OF the secretary
of the treasury for bond issue, the
Democratic ways and means committee
had brought in bill, ostensibly to raise
revenues, which, if passed. would in
crease the present estimated deficit to
$145, 100000. It was free trade bill.
and if the issue between free trade and
protection were ever presented to the
people oftthe country, the verdict would
be Overwhelmingly in favor of protec-
ton.
