A Murderer's Swift Punishment.

Alex. Jones, colored desperate,
boarded a Norfolk & Western passen-
ger train at keystone w. Va, last
Monday night. He was under the IN
Auence of liquor, very bolsterous and
quarrelsome. Conductor McCulloh
came through the cars, and after de-
handing fans from Jones, advised him
to be quiet. The negro became much
incensed, and when an attempt was
made to eject him he pulled two re-
volvers from belt, and began firing
promiscuously through the train, which
was crowded with passengers. He
emptled both revolvsrs, and attempt
ed to reload, but was overpowered by
trainmen. When the smoke had cleared
away and the excitement had abated,
it was discovered that w. H. Strother,
postmaster atElkhorn, was shot through
the abdomen. The wound resulted In
almost instant death. Conductor Nc
Culloh was shot in the side, but not
seriously injured, and Peter Rice, a
colored miner, was shot through the
right breast and probably fatally IN
jured.
Jones was incarcerated in the Elk
horn Jail to await the arrival of a tram
by which to convey him to Huntington
for safe keeping. The train arrived
at 2 a. m, and the officers and prison
er boarded it without molestation.
Meanwhile, mob had been organized
at Welch, fifteen miles west of Key
stone, and had marched to Hemphlll,
small station one mile west Of WEIGH.
The train was tagged by a danger sig
nal, and the mob, numbering one hum
dred men, boarded it, and at the point
Of Winchesters forced the officers to re-
lease the prisoner. Jones was dragged
short distance to tree, where he
was swung to limb and his body rid
died with bullets, the following note
being attached
This deed was done for the pur-
pose of example and warning to ne
groes. Beware !"
Some of the most prominent and in
fuential citizens in that section COM
posed the mob. Jones, it is alleged,
had killed three men prior to his last
offense. Excitement is at high pitch.
An effort was made by Jones friends
to rescue him from the angry mob, but
proved to be futile. W. Il. Strother
was one ofth best-known men in that
section, and had numerous friends
He had just succeeded Paul Fletcher
who was killed short time ago, as
postmaster at Elkhorn.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that
is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the medi-
cal fraternity. Catarrh being a constl-
tutional disease, requires a constitution
al treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they

that it fails to cure. Send for list OF

West virginians Have a Spread.

The resident Republicans from West
Virginia assembled at the Hotel Page
in Washington City last Thursday
night to honor their Representatives in
Congress. 1t was most pleasant at
fair throughout, and reflected great
credit upon the sons of the "Switzer-
land of America. Prior to the ban
quet a reception was held in the par
lors of the hotel, where an opportunity
was afforded those present of getting
acquainted and swapping stories of
their native heath. 1t was close on to
10 o'clock when the guests sat down
to dinner. The banquet was held in
the large dining hall Of the hotel, and
the tables were handsomely decorated.
In the absence of the regular toast
master, Mr. G. NJ. shinn undertook
that important Office, and filled it to
the satisfaction of his friends. Sena-
tor Elkins made strong response to
the toast "West Virginia, and Con-
gresham Blue told what the sons of
the old State had done in the civil
war. Congressman Miller responded
to the toast of the fertile valleys Of
West Virginia and what they produce,
and said: eve are not as large in
area as Maine; our lands are not as
fertile as those of Iowa; we are not
so important politically as Ohio; we
have not the financial wealth of New
York; we have not as yet a pro-
nounced candidate for the presidency,
vet we are able to present fellow
citizen for that high Office who is the
peer of any man in any of the great
States have named" This was d.
rect reference to Senator Elkins, and
the latter smiled as the guests cheered.
Once again during the evening Sena-
tor Elkins was mentioned for the pres
idency. Is was when Congressman
Dolliver Of Iowa spoke. He said if he
couldn't get W. B. Allison for Presi-
dent, he would be glad to see the dis
tinguished Senator from West Virginia
get the honor. Other speeches were
made by Congressman Lacey, Dovener,
Huling and Mr.. F, H. Mckee.
Among those present from this part
of West Virginia were Frank MADEIRA,
H. F. Keyser, j. VIM. DeGrange, G.
c. Stump, E. V, Crittenden, J. A; D.
Turner, Frank A. Rodrick, F. T. Ma

A Young Mans Rash Act.

A dispatch from Woodstock, Va, to
the Baltimore Sun Of this morning
says:
Just after the conclusion Of the re-
vival services in the Methodist Epis
copal Church Southin this place last
night, Walter X. Haas, a well-known
young man about twenty-five years Of
age, Of this place, in temporary aber-
ration of the mind, attempted to take
the life of Miss Lucy Mccain, one Of
the organists of the church, while on
her way home, by shooting at her three
times with 38-calibre pistol at very
close range, missing her each time, and
then shooting himself in the left breast,
Just over the heart, the ball passing
entirely through his body. The cause
of the sad affair lies in his desire to ac-
company the young lady from church
on several former nights during the re-
vival, knowing she had engagements
with others. On Monday he wrote
her a note, saying "ifhe could not 60
with her no one else should, and
proceeded to carry out his threat by
obtaining the pistol from his sister,
the wife of L. S. Walker, clerk of the
county court, to shoot some cats.
Last evening he went to the house of
Miss Mccain and invited her to
90 with him for a short walk, evil
IDENTIFY intending to take her life
then; but she excused herself, saying
she could not 90 because she had to
oficiate at the organ and could not
over-exert herself This morning the
young man is resting well, and it Is
though he will recover.
