Gave Her Lover a Beating.

At the close of prayer-meetlng
held in a school-house at Triplett, this
State, last Friday night, Miss Lottie
Gibson, visitor from Elkins, asked
Pete" Horrick, her aftianced lover,
to the back of the building, saying she
must see him alone. AS soon as they
were out of sight the girl denounced
him as slanderer. He denied his
guilt, and she called witnesses. Then
she produced a loaded stick, and while
bystanders prevented him from defend
ing himself, she beat him savagely
about the head and face. The couple
were to have been married in June.
Both are members of good families.
While the affair created great sensa-
ton, no thought was given to the
young mans condition. But now the
affair takes on the character of a
tragedy, as the doctor called to attend
Horrick says he will die from the in
juries received in the attack on him,
his brain being injured.

FREE COAL.

For years the benefciaries of pro-
lection have denounced the advocates
of tariff reform as mere theorists; and
have no doubt weakened, if not de-
stroyed, the force with which their
arguments would otherwise appeal to
plain people, by declaring that they
were without practical knowledge of
the conditions and needs of the inter-
ests whose right to public bounty
they assailed. On the other hand, the
reformers replied, with equal force,
that the protectionists were so biased
by selfish interest that their arguments
were worthless, even if sincere. In
this state of the case, what is needed
by candid men seeking only to learn
the truth, is a statement from one or
more persons who have full and as
sured practical knowledge of the man
ufacturing or other industry for which
they undertake to speak, and yet
who have not that degree of pecuniary
interest in it which might reasonably
be expected to warp their judgments
or destroy their candor.
AS regards the question of protec-
ton to coal, this desideratum has been
supplied in most striking way. There
was meeting of southern coal opera
tors at Knoxville, Tenn, on February
90, to protest against the passage of
the Wilson bill. The first speech
was made by the receiver Of certain
coal mines in Kentucky; and to the
establishment and dismay of the con-
vention, it was strongly in favor of
free coal. Now a receiver must be
familiar with the business which is
put in his control, and fully competent
to conduct it; otherwise the creditors,
whose interests he represents and pro-
tects, and who are dependent upon
his successful administration for the
collection of their debts, would never
consent to his appointment. His COM
pensation, however, is fixed by the
court and he has no direct pecuniary
interest in the business. Where then
could we expect to find more compe-
tent or disinterested witness to the
true needs of the coal mining industry,
than this one who appears in such an
unexpected quarter?

Mr.. WILSON ILL IN MEXICO.

Hon. VIM. l.. Wilson, Member of
Congress from this district and chair
man of the ways and means committee
of the House of Representatives, is i'll
of typhoid fever at Guadalajara, a
town in Mexico. 1t will be remem-
bered that the long strain to which
Mr.. Wilson was subjected in the prep
aration and passage of the tariff bill
left him sick and enfeebled. He was
i'll when he started for Mexico, and
was obliged to stop at Chicago and
Kansas City and put himself under
the care of physicians. The last
heard from Mr.. Wilson's family until
Saturday was by letter from Kansas
City as the party were about to depart
for Mexico, and at that time Mrs. Will
son said her husband appeared to have
thrown off all the ill-effects of his first
attack.
Saturday morning Mr. VIM. H.
Wilson, the Congressman son, receiv-
ed dispatch from his father, asking
him to look after his life insurance
policy that expired February 9th.
This was looked upon as rather sug-
gestive, but caused no particular I'M
easiness. In the afternoon the follow
ing telegram was received at the De-
partment of State:
City Of Merico, February 24.-Sec-
rotary of State, Washington.-Mr.
Wilson has developed a marked ty-
phoid fever. General condition grave,
though fever is yet of mild type.
DR.. Malet Provost, whom sent from
here to Aguas Calientes to see him,
has had him removed to Guadalajara,
which he considers the location which
will give him the best sanitary sur
roundings possible in Mexico. To
bring him to this city would be most
dangerous. He shall have the best
attention. CRITTENDEN,
United States Consul General.
A special from the City of Mexico
to the st. Louis Republic on Tuesday
says:
"Today's bulletin from DR.. Under
wood, who is nursing Congressman
Wilson at Guadalajara, is very en-
couraging His pulse is steady, his
temperature nearly normal and his
appetite good. A Mexican physician
has prescribed atole as diet. Consul
General Crittenden received message
from Mr.. Tarsney this evening, saying
Mr.. Wilson is improving; that the
climate is splendid, and he thinks he
will pull through. The patient is
much Frustrated, but it is now be-
1ieved that the crisis is past.
A dispatch from Washington says
that Mr.. Wilson's son, VIM. H., was to
leave for Mexico Wednesday to assist
in caring for his sick father Mrs.
Wilson's health is not such as will per-
nit her to nurse him through a long
siege of typhoid fever. She has suf-
fered from heart trouble.

VoTE the Democratic ticket at the
coming corporation election. Do not
let it be published broadcast over the
State that Shepherdstown has gone
Republican again, as has been done
for a couple of years past. 1t is re-
Election upon the Democratic PARTY
that has been undeserved. There is
only one way to prevent it, and that
is to give the Democratic ticket, reg
ularly nominated by the convention,
a big majority. Suppose the Repub-
licans had large majority here. Is
anyone foolish enough to believe that
they would allow Democrats to be
elected to the Offices and then make a
big blow about it Z? 1t wouldn' t happen
more than once. We consider it of as
much importance to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket at the corporation cleo
ton as it is to vote it at the State
election next fall
