KilIed h 4 Coal l,ank.

The people of the Jarvisyille
community we're shocked a few
days ago by the announcement
that ]. l.. Bell had been killed
by a fall of earth and coal in a
mine he was operating. The
manner in which he was killed
will never be known TO a Ger
tainty as he was alone atthe time
of the awful accident. A mem
Der Of his family went to call
him to dinner and found him
dead, having been crushed be
meath a mass of earth at the
mouth of the mine. He was i
good citizen and a member Of the
Baptist church. He leaves a
wife and two daughters.

SHOT TO KILL.
Ms VIC osborn's Brother wounded
BY Burglar.

cHARnEsroN, w. VA, Sept.
25.- Walker Carder, son of the
street railway superintendent,
entering his house tonight about
$50, found two men down stairs.
He fred on them aud one. of the
fellows ran. Immediately a third
man ran down stairs, and grab
bIng the pistol, a IS. calibre, from
carders hands. shot him in the
right breast, Just below the nip.
pie The murderers escaped.

Walker is the son of w. B.
carder, who resided in Fairmont
a few years ago, aud has two
sisters livingin Clarksburg, Mrs.
w. G. Osborn and MRS. Charles

summoned to Charleston soon
after the accident occurred.

file. In the city of Wheeling
they had to resort to a feed to
get out their crack club. In the
Second district they will try to
move the masses of their party
through the seductive instru-
mentality of the barbecue.
But probably the wileyville
idea is the best of all. Mr.. How
ard, Democratic nominee for
Congress in the First district,
was to speak at wileyville and
the question was how to get a
crowd. Let Mr.. Howard him
self, speaking through the Reg
tster, tell how it was done. Be-
ing asked how he was being re-
ceived on mis- stumping tour he
replied with enthusiasm
/ could ask nothing better.
Why, up at Wileyville the other
day it was announced that after
the speaking there would be a
fight, and there was, too, But
they only used natures weapons,
and after pummeling each other
till one had enough the war was
ended, without hard feelings on
either side.
The size of the purse is not
given. Whether the fight was
between heavy weights. middle
weights or feather weights; is
not revealed. But in order to
draw a crowd for Mr.. Howard a
fight was advertised and a fight
there was, and Mr.. Howard
could ask nothing better 1t
will probably occur to Mr.. How
ard to have a fight advertised
for each of his meetings. for il
the people won't come out to
hear him and will come out to
see a fight he may catch EN-
foul while they are there and
see whathe can do to pound some
free trade into Them. 1t is q
great and captivating idea.--In.

crooked transaction in carrying

sentenced to two years and five

on another trial by a higher

would recommend them to read

Wallace in his report to the de.

believes that he can place his icool

s. commercial agent Baggs in his
report of April IA, 1892, says
The cost of shipping by rail
from Sidney Or Melbourne to

ed at from four-fifths to one cent
per pound. Boston is as yet
practically the only American
porto which Australian wool is
shipped, and sailing vessels
only are employed for the pur.
Ipose.n So we see that free trade
will still furtherreduce the price
of our home grown wool instead
OF advancing it. Australia will
not average a shripkage of so
per cent on Merino while our
native grade shrinks from 6e to
so per cent.

book, .Our Sheep and the Tariff, :"
says In West Australia the

Another Emphatic Denial of tho Story
That Trouble Is Brewing.

Another Emphatic Denial of tho Story
That Trouble Is Brewing.
New YORK, Jan. 18.-C. p. Hunting
ton is not in town today, but his coun-
sci, Charles W. Tweed, said: "The
story that securities are withheld from
Mrs. Stanford ia utterly false, and you
may deny it as emphatically as you
please. There ia perfect understand
ing between Huntington and Mrs. Stan
ford. She has made no demand for se
curities and will bring no suit. 1t is
true certain stocks AID bonds were put
into the Southern Pacific Improvement
company by Stanford during his life, to
be used for certain purposes, under
an agreement with other gentlemen who
contributed like amounts, among them
Mr.. Huntington. When the purposes
have been fulfilled there will be an ac
counting and the securities or their pro-
ceeds will be returned tc the Stanford
estate. The fact that Mrs. Stanford, as
executrix OF her husbands estate, men
tions these securities in her inventory
as part of the estate, which has not yet
actually came into her possession, prob
ably led to the report that they were
being wTongfully withheld from her,
which is not true"
Tweed, when shown a dispatch from
San Francisco to the effect that Mrs.
Stanford had made formal demand on
Huntington for certain properties and
securities which had been placed in
Huntington's hands, said no formal de-
mand had been made and no controversy
nor trouble of any kind existed between
Mrs. Stanford and the Huntington in
terests.
Tweed denied in very positive terms
that any suit was threatened or that
Huntington borrowed money on any of
Stanford's securities.
SAN FRANcIsoo, Jan. 1S.-The Ex-
smintr says Mrs. Leland Stanford is
too Ill to attend to business, but she
answered questions through her secre-
tary, Mr.. Nash, in such a way as to
give the impression that she would sue
G. p. Huntington for the stocks he is
alleged to be withholding from the
Stanford e9tste. When asked directly
if Mrs. Stanford would bring suit
against Huntington, Mr.. Nash an
swered; mo; think not at present"
sBut she intends to get possession OF
those bonds at any cost, does she not?"
was asked.
"She certainly does" said Mr.. Nash.
When asked to say positively that she
would rot bring suit, Mr.. Nash said: 81
would not say that"
