HomIclde at Harshaw.

Last Saturday Doctor Purdy re- ceived from Crittenden telegram summoning himself and Doctor Chne- oweth to that place to treat Thomas Shean who had been shot the night before, at Harshaw.
 The two surgeons went up on the morning train, but when they reached there the wounded man was dying.
 Before dying he made an ante-mor- tem statement, which was to the effect that he had long suspected an undue intimacy between his wife and Lawrence Lemon, the school teacher at Harshaw. Friday he left home giving out he would not return for several days. But he did return the same night, and found his worst sus- picion verified. Finding Lemon as he did, he turned to go, passing some sharp comment upon the situation Lemon arose and, with his handy re- volyer, fired two shots at Shean, one ball striking his right side in front about the lower rib, and passed down. ward into the intestines. The wounded man was taken to Critten- den early the next morning, where he died about twelve or fourteen hours after receiving the fatal shot.
 Both men were well known in No gales. Lemon was clerk at the Inter- national hotel, previous to the destruc- tion of that property by fire.
 Lemon gave himself up to Judge Harrison of that place at Lochiel, and the latter deputized Dave Allen to take him to Tucson. They left for the county seat Saturday night, and reached there Monday.
 On their way into Tucson Aliens horse gave ont, and Lemon took the commitment, pushed on into TucsC alone, and surrendered himself at the jail. Allen afterward arrived, and the commitment was made in due form. The examination will be held at Tue son when witnesses can be summoned from Harshaw.

CITY AND COUNTY.

At Tucson the agent of Wells Fargo S Co.'S express has taken layoff and gone east, and his place is filled by the relief agent, MT. P. B. Yates of No gales.
 Sunday morning an old man named Hermes was found dead in a hoyel near the railroad shops at Tucson. He was last seen alive the preceding Tuesday, and is supposed to have died from natural causes sometime that day or night. He was German, said to be highly educated, and miser Opening his trunk, when an admins trator is appointed, is awaited keenly.
 From the vicinity of the Hiram Stevens ranch, in the Sierritas, comes word that the country whereabouts is oyerrun with mountain lions. With in the past few days several calves and colts were killed, and they have grown so bold as to attack grown horse. The increase in their number is due to county economy. Several years ago the bounty of s25 each on lion scalps was removed, and since then the brutes have multiplied unmolested.
 At Tucson, last Saturday, MT. NJ. P. Freeman, while taking his morn ing constitutional on wheel, met snake. It held the road, and MT. Freeman did not retreat. In passing over it's body the wheel and the reptile became entangled. A slap of the snake on the back apprised the cashier that he had passenger aboard. The tail of the snake caught between the spokes and the sprocket wheel, and every revolution of the wheel meant caress from the snake. The wheel and the intruder were disentangled, after which the snake was done to death.

REASONS FOR FREE SILvER.-The
Louisville COurier-Jo,unGl says =
4" There are in Kentucky some men
for free silver because they honestly
believe in the absurd fallacy that free
silver would give us more and better
money there are others who clamOr
for free silver because they are at
tlicted with the delusion that any
change i'm the national finances would
be change for the better in their
own personal finances there are
others who are fanatics for free sill
Yer because they have heard some
where that it would enable them to
swindle their creditors; there are
others who think they are for free
silver, although they know nothing
about the subject, because they have
been told that Wall street prefers
gold, and there are still others
mainly or exclusively office-seekers
who proclaim that they are for free
silver because they think the ma
jOrity of the voters arc for free sill
Yer. What is wanted most in Ken
lucky now is political leadership by
men who have the brains and patri-
otism to teach the people sound finan-
cial principles rather than to encour-
age and take advantage of popular
Ignorance, error and prejudice to help
themselves into offices.n

"A bill Is pending in the I.egisla-
ture to establish school for the in
dustrial training OF girls. Last Fri
day the Governor sent special mes
sage to the Legislature transmitting
the following letter received by him
on the subject:
Hon. W. 4. Mac COrkie,
Governor Of Vest Virginia
DEAR GONERNoR-I feel deep
interest in the education and train
ing Of girls, especially in West Nir-
ginia, whose circumstances would
prevent them FROM securing such adj
vantages. We ought to have a
State institution where girls could,
at small expense, be able to receive
such education aud industrial train
ing as would better fit them for the
affairs Of life, and enable them to
become teachers, clerks, telegraph
operations, &C., thus making them
selt-supporting and of greater bene-
fit to the State. 1.-THE State will es-
tablish an institution for the pur.
poses named and make an annual
appropriation of say $4,000 or Sl5,-
600 for the support, will give $780,
600 and suitable ground at some CEN
trail point accessible by rail, such as
Davis or Elkins, toward the erection
Of a suitable building. If you con-
cur in these suggestions you are at
liberty to submit this proposition To
the Legislature. The act could he
made conditional on my giving $50.
600 and suitable grounds for the pur.
pose. Yours truly,
II. q. DAVIS.
The Kanawha Gazette seems to un.
derstand Mr.. Davis as making the
establishment of the school at Davis
or Elkins condition precedent tC
the offer he makes; and as Mr.. Da.
Wis, as the gazette declares, owns
much real estate at these two towns
our contemporary charges him with
q selfish motive and an attempt &c
boom his property by securing the
location Of State institution upor
it. The letter, however, whilst sug
costing Davis or Elkins as a suitable
location for the school in question
does not seem to bear the construc
ton the Gazette puts upon it.

THE GREATER CHARL EsTON.
The meeting of the citizens and tax
payers of Charleston, held in the
Burlew Opera House, on the after
noon of the lst instant, came near
resulting in big row. Judge Sny-
der, of the Criminal Court, when the
excitement was at its highest and a
knock-down and drag-out fight seem
imminent came forward, com
handed the peace, and finally re-
stored order, whereupon the Elkites
and those favoring the bill, which
has already passed the House of
Delegates, withdrew and organized
u separate meeting. The citizens
ct Charleston proper, thus left in
possession of the Opera House,
adopted n series of amendments to
the pending bill and appointed a
committee to urge them when the
hill comes up tor consideration in

ton Of anneXing Elk City seems to

DISASTER AT SEA.-Just before
day on the morning Of the Both ult. IL,
about thirty miles from the English
coast, in the North Sea, the Steamer
Crathie ran into the Elbe, large
and magnificent steamer of the
North German Lloyd Steamship
Company, crushing in her side and
letting in an immense volume of
water. In about twenty minutes the
Elbe went to the bottom of the sea
with her living freight of about 335
souls-only about twenty escaping
in the life boats. The scene is de-
scribed as one of the most heart
rendering in the history of maritime
disasters.

doned all hope of any legislation on
the currency question at this session
of Congress and is now preparing, it
Is said, for another issue of bonds on
which to obtain gold to replenish
the reserve which has dwindled to
about S42,00O,OO Congress seems
utterly powerless to agree on any
thing. Mr.. German, however, an
nounces his belief that something
will yet be done before the session
expires on March 4th. He has great
faith In the Senate. The lack Of
confidence abroad i'm our monetary
system seems to he the cause Of the
trouble. Nearly all the gold drawn
from the Treasury has gone To- Eu-
rope to pay for securities held in this
country, which the holders fear NAV
some day be paid off in deprecated
currency. They are therefore send
ing them here to be redeemed i'm
gold, whilst gold may yet be had.
