Jumping ut u Conclusion.

There's only one way to accomplish II.
that 1 can see." replied the man whose
mind Is always on his own troubles "And
that Is to make the coal combine come
down in its prices. so that there will NO
longer be any object in doing it,
The Bitter and the Sweet.
Amanda made picture, once,
And let 1t stand to dry.
Her pug dog quaint licked off the paint
From foreground and from sky.
The pug dog died. But critics sage
Came trooping 10 the spot.
They said as an impressionist
Amanda led the lot.
A Fellow Feeling.
What makes Skimley attitudinize so
much?"
He thinks he's great author"
But he has never had anything printed -
mo. But he thinks of all the celebrated
literary men who tried for years without
success to get their writings published and
feels that he is right in their class"

annie Rooney"
Officer Sherwood's version of the
affair was also as given above.
Oscar Phillips said he was sitting al
home at $50 when he heard pistol
shots. He heard some one cry He:
murdered me he is killing me-" He
saw man lying on the ground with 6
pistol along side of him. At that time
Officer Ferguson arrived and took
charge of the dead man.
Chris Moncetta, the banana man,
said that Paragory came after him ''for
fooling with Eva Taylor" He said that
on Monday night Paragory came after
him and said, "Chris, what time are you
going to sleepw He told Chris he was
going to Kill him. He then struck him
several times, but he was DRINK. Para
CORY came after him yesterday about 5
o'clock and told him again he was go.
ing to kill him. When asked who was
Eva Taylor witness said in reply she
was young woman of question able
character.
The jury returned the following YER
dict
1--WE, the jury, find that Walter Para
CORY came to his death by pistol shot
wound in his head by his own hand
while in q jealous rage"
The body of young Paragory is still
at Mr.. Demaine's establishment, where
it will remain until tomorrow evening,
when it will be taken to the Baptist
Church, where the funeral services will
be held at 4 o'clock.
The developments at the inquest
were of the most sensational character.
Pictures of Annie Haney and Eva
Taylor, one of her companions, in q
semi.nude condition, which we're found
in the dead mans pockets, were pro-
duced. Letters were also found on his
person which showed the relations
which existed between the deceased
and the young women. In one to the
Haney girl this is very apparent, while
the contents of another, which he de
signed for public perusal after he should
have been dead, he makes other plain
statements of q disgusting nature. In
the latter he shows that he intended to
kill Miss Haney and Ben Posey last
Monday night and then commit suicide.
A Washington paper this morning,
in undertaking to present pathetic
history of the affair and to make it APP
pear that the lovers were as pure as
Paul and Virginia, says LAST summer
they spent Sundays with each other.
They haunted the excursion steamers,
they explored the woods and they
gathered flowers in the fields" The
pictures alluded to above were doubt
less taken while the parties were en-
gagged in such innocent pastimes, as
they are of the cheap tintype variety,
evidently the work offs some excursion
photographer.

REPUBLICAN MEETING.-A meeting
of the city republican committee was
held last night at which arrangements
were made for holding the ward meet
ings tomorrow night which are to elect
delegates to the convention to be held
on Friday night, which in turn will
elect delegates to the Stanton and dis
trict conventions. So far only the
regulars" have sent the names to the
city committee of the candidates for
delegates. There are so many 'splits"
among the opposition that it is almost
impossible for them to agree on any
thing and it is more than likely that the
regulars will have their own way

and Kemp Young, of Fairfax, were be-
fore Justice Kirby at West End to-day
charged with the larceny of wood from
tue tract of land in that county near

from constant pillaging has been rem.
dered almost worthless. This wood
mas been and is being constantly cut by
narauders and brought to this city
where is sold openly on the streets.

people are taxed to pay so many officers
IAelT property should be better pro-
tectei
The trial had not ended when this
report closed.
