WHEELING, W. VA, Aug. 2.
M A. NJ CarneL
DEAR FArnER:-A terrible mistake
has been made and hasten to correct
It. It was in this way: When arrived
here Monday eve, had my baggage trans
ferred to tho Windsor hotel. then
went and secured boarding house, re-
NAMED oil night and Tues. morning l
was go sick could not do a thing. and
now when l went down to see about
my baggage they would not lot me, have,
said what claimed bore tho name Of a
man that was killed. and they showed
mo special in the RegiStr. I went to
tho Register men and they cannot ac-
count for the mistake, as the dispatch
was sent In BY their correspondent in
Grafton.
He goes on to say that no proved his
identity and got tho baggage, and that
tho proprietor told him no had notified
the postmaster at Burlington.
In another partly finished Iottcr OF the
Same date no says no has done great
wrong in making 1t appear that he was
killed, and he begs forgiveness for tho
disgrace he has brought on his family.
A third letter, also incomplete, also
begs forgiveness. In both no speaks OF
the bad condition Of his head, and COM
plains OF being dizzy and unable to
work. He says no has only 81 left, and
tho officers want license II he peddles
pencils.
On Wednesday the Register printed
the following:
GRAFTON, ". Va. July al.-Tho body Of a
young man who has been run over by H. q o.

near Irontown the man Was struck by the train
instantly killed aud InRnglcd beyond rccogni.:
ton. From papers In his pocket he was found
to DO ]. P. Carncll. Of burlington. ". Va.
This, 1t was found yesterday, was left
ct the Office Tuesday by CARMEL him
self, who said man ct Grafton asked
him to hand It to tho Rr0ister. Carncll
also wrote lotter to tho postmaster at
Burlington, narrating his death. and
signed to It tho name OF Mr.. Carney, OF
tho Windsor A telegram was received
yesterday asking il MIR. Carney wrote
the letter.
Carnell wanted to:securo license to
peddle Photographic and a preparation
to erase ink, but did not have the
money to pay for 1t.
A year ago he had a package sont 10
him in care of tho IxTELLrGESCER, and
telegraphed to the Office asking that tho
charges be paid, and saying that he
would call for tho package. The charges
werc paid and tho package remained
uncalled for. This week CARMEL called
and paid the charges, saying he would
get the package the next day, but he
did not come back after 1t. His actions
are those OF crazy man, and he is
doubtless at least little OF his base.
