A WEST VIRGINIA TRAGEDY,
Man Killed in His Own Home by a
Neighbor he Suspected

On arriving at his home on Meals Run,
near Parkersburg, on Monday night, Charles
Ratcliff, who had long suspected Joe Morgan
of intimacy with his wife, found Morgan
feigning . sep on the goor.
As Ratciiff stopped to awaken him Morgan
sprang to his feet, and with hatchet he had
hidden by his S ide struck Ratcliif q blow
across the forehead The blade cut its way
the whole width OF the steel through the
frontal bone to the brain.
Ratclin fell against the wall, in q position
that kept him partially erect, and Morgan
standing over him deliberatly struck him
four times with the hatchet, each blow cutting
through the skull. Then Morgan threw the
hatchet through window and escaped to
Parkersburg where he has since been cap
tured.
Strange to say, Ratciff remained alive for
some time though unconscious.
Officers on Tuesday arrested Mrs. Ratcliff.
and have since captured Walter Hammond
and his wife, couple who were at the Rat

The health of the czar is causing general
anxiety In Russia. There Is no longer any

nation Of the patient, declared that his
majesty was suffering from pronounc d
albuminuria.
The future movements OF the imperial
family will be regulated by the progress OF
the emporer's disease. The emporer will un-
doubtedly go to Copenhagen, as his physi-

TWO NEW RAILROAD LINES.
To Penetrate Undeveloped Ore Districts
Of West Virginia.

The opening OF the new branch to Fair
mont has led to plans for penetrating further
into the interior. Two additional lines are
now projected. One line will connect with
the Baltimore and Ohio at or near Point
Marion, running up the valley OF Cheat river
25 miles TO KingwOod. where 1t will meet the
Tunneton. Kingwood and Falrchance Narrow
Gauge Railroad, which runs south TO the
main line OF the Baltimore and Ohio.
The other line will tap the Baltimore and
Ohio somewhere between Point Marion and
Fairmont, probably at Morgantown. It will
be over 40 miles long, probably terminating
at Phillip or Grafton
The country to be opened by these lines Is
rich In iron ore, timber, limestone. glass
house sand, and the best OF coal and fire.
clay.
The first named will give to Kingwood
railroad connections to the north, and give
still easier access from Pittsburg to the main
line OF the Baltimore and Ohio.
