Killed aud Another Mortally
Wounded.

WEsToN, w. VA. Jan. l5-Infor-
nation has reached here of the APP
prehension of Calvert and HennoD
Fleming, two notorious Outlaws for
whom the State of Virginia offers a
reward of $1,000 and the county of
Wise $500. They are charged with
having committed five different muir
ders, and several highway robberies
are also alleged against them. The
Fleming brothers have been fugi-
tives from justice for long time
They successfully evaded the officers
of the law and made their way over
land to Boggs, in the mountains of
West Virginia.
On Saturday evening they stop
ped at the store of John Boggs,
about nine miles from Cowen, a
station on the West Virginia and
Pennsylvania railroad, in which
store the postotfice for the village
was kept. The outlaws had been
traced to this neighborhood by -four
officers from Virginia. who were
seeking their arrest. While the
Flemings, who were going under diff
ferent aliases. we're engaged in max
ing some purchases at the store, tn,
officers came in and readily identi
fed them. They demanded an i'm
mediate surrender, but the despera
does resisted arrest and opened fir,
upon their pursuers.
The shots were returnad by th,
officers, and fierce conflict for lif
ensued. Calvert Fleming was kille,
outright and his brother Hennol
was mortally wounded, with tire
shots in his left breast. lie cannoi
recover. Two of the officers, Johl
Fl. Branham and doc" Swannell
were seriously wounded. The inju
ries of the former are considered ia
tai, he being shot through the lief

Gor. aearer ON tbe situation.

Elk Governor Beaver, Of Pennsyl-
vania, is an old soldier and Repub-
lican among Republicans. But the
veteran will talk out in meeting some
times. and that don't suit the great
er aud more dishonest element OF the
party. But it suits his good old
soul and he says what he thinks and
tells the truth when he is saying It,
no matter if it be treason of the
rankest kind to the Mckinley peo-
pie Here is an extract from one of
his recent sensible letters:
To be candid, don't believe the
depression in business is the result
of Democratic policy. The wave of
husiness depression was coming,
and it is only the good fortune
of the Republicans that the Demo
Gratis got in power in time to be
caught by it. 1t is one of those
periodical depressions that regular
Nv affect the country. and nothing
could have avoided it, / don't be-
lievf the Democrats or their policy
have anything to do with it. Ii
would have come anyhow. and il
Harrison had been elected it might
have been even worse.
1t must not be said that Gov
Beaver don't know what he's talk
ing about. for he does. Our Repub.
ican friends who want facts should
preserve the above and Mr.. Carne
gie's letter.

Down at Guyandotte they had a
similar experience to Morgantown
in regard to the legality of their mu-
nicipal election, but they settled it
differently. The contest was not
held under the Australian system,
so when the council met to declare
the result of the election they declared
it illegal, consequently no election,
so the old council holds. Guyan
dotte polls about $50 votes and there
was a great contest about license,
the present set of license officers be
ing defeated by dry ticket. But
the way the matter turns out The
