Great Western Continent. When
franklin began to fish in the air with

THE MCoY-HATFIELD FEUD.

Huntington, W. Va, April 3.-Robert
X. Mccoy, a relative of the McCoys who
several years ago were prominent
throughout the country through their
celebrated McCoy-Hatfield feud, moved
TO this county about two months ago
from up the Big Sandy Valley. He was
here Wednesday night and left at a late
hour for his home on horseback. Yes
terday his horse was found about Is
miles south of this city, grazing along
side the road, and the saddle blankets
and the sides of the horse were wet
with blood. Persons living in the
vicinity of where the horse was, claim
that they heard shots after midnight,
and the supposition is that Mccoy was
assassinated and his body thrown into
the creek. Blood hounds viii be secu1.-
ed to follow up the trail Of the supposed
assassins.
The Hatfeld-McCoy feud has been
quiescent for nearly two years, and the
murder Of Mccoy cannot, as yet, be con-
nected with the old-time hostilities in
Logan county, which extended over
dozen years and cost more than a score
of lives.

LANGDoN HELD FOR MURDER.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 3.-The coro-
ner's jury to-day held Samuel p. Lang
don for the action of the grand jury.
Langdon lived with Annie McGrath,
the 19-year-old typewriter, who was
found dead in bed under suspicious
circumstances on March %.
Prof Lehman, the coroner's expert,
read his report on the analysis of the
blood and stomach of Miss McGrath.
The report stated that there were no
traces of any kind of poison in the
girls stomach or blood. The blood was
a bright red color which would be the
case if the dead girl had died from i'm
haling water gas.
Several physicians testified that the
sore spots on the tongue came from
the pressure of the teeth in the lower
jaw
Coroner Ashbridge then explained
the case TO the jury, telling thm that
tn absence of special poison casts
somewhat Of a doubt upon the cause
Of immediate death. But that state
ments. Langdon made varied to such
an extent that his actions looked sus-
picious.
The jury was out ten minutes and
returned with the following verdict:
eve find that Anna McGrath came to
her death in a manner unknown to the
jury and we recommend that the de-
fendant, Samuel P Langdon, be held
to await the action of the grand jury"
Langdon was taken back to jail.

TO HONOR AMERICAN CITIZENS.
Venezuela to Erect a Bronze Column
TO Their Memory.


Washington. April 3-President
Crespo, of Venezuela, has taken an
other step towards the conspicuous
hOnoring Of American citizens by issu-
ing a decree directing the erection OF
a bronze column in honor Of the citi-
zens of the United States who aided
Venezuela i'm the first struggle for inde-
pendence. The decree has just been
received at the Venezuelan lagation
here. Venezuela has honored this gov
crnment heretofore, by erecting .
statue of Washington, and projecting
another statue to President Monroe,
commemorative of the Monroe doctrine,
so that the erection of this bronze col
umn is a further evidence of the friend
ly feeling existing.
The decree states that the column is
a memorial to the following citizens Of
the United States: Capt. Donahue,
Lieutenant Billop and Privates James
Gardner, Charles Johnson, Gustayus
Bugrud, Paul II. George, Daniel Ken-
per, Miles T. Hall, John Ferris, and
sub-Lieutenant Francis Farquharson.
General Crespo recites the bravery of
the American party, and says their
names will be enrolled in the list of
illustrious patriots who secured the in-
dependence of South America from for
eign dominion. The column is to bc
erected at Puerto Cabello, at the point
where the Americans fell. The front
of the column viii bear the coat Of arms
of the United States alongside that of
Venezuela, while the sides bear the
names of the American party, and ex-
preston of national gratitude, signed
by President Crespo.
The unveiling of the column on July
4, the national holiday of the United
States, is TO be made notable by a dem
onstration lasting three days through
out Venezuela. On the first day Presi-
dent Crespo and his cabinet viii head n
procession at Caracas, bearing wreaths
and flowers to be placed on the monu-
ment of Washington. The bronze col
umns win be unveiled on the same day
with elaborate exercises. lit is decreed
that during the three days of ceremo-
nies and fetes, all official utterances
and acts shall include mention Of the
United States citizens who aided Ven
ezuela. The Minister of Public Works
is in charge of the erection of the col
umns, and of the national ceremonies.

THE RIVER AND HARsoR BILL.
The Total Amount Appropriated is Ten
Million Dollars.

Washington, April 3.-The River and
lIarbor bill of the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress, over which there has been more
speculation and anxiety among mem
bers than any other BILL was
completed by the committee on Rivers
and Harbors and reported to the House
by Chairman Hooker to-day.
The total amount appropriated by
the bill is, in round numbers, ten mill
lions and provision is made for con-
tinuing works already under way, con-
tracts to be made by the Secretary of
War for works which will cost $751;
100000 for which appropriation will be
made in the future. This is not ma
terial change from the river and har-
Dor appropriation of the last Congress.
The Fifty-second Congress author
lied about twenty-one millions ex-
penditure, and contracts for thirty one
and three-fourths millions The Fifty
third Congress bill carried a S25, 1855
appropriation, and contracts for about
thirteen millions.
Members Of the committee OF both
parties unite in the verdict that the
contract system is the most economical
and satisfactory, it saving, according
to the Secretary of War, from 25 to 33
per cent Of the cost Of works and in
some cases more. On Monday next
the bin will be called up in the House.

Friend, Neb., April 3.-Richard Rim
gor, a local merchant, was bitten by a
dog several months ago. A few days
since he was stricken with what was
supposed to be severe case of grip.
To-day physicians agreed it was a case
Of hydrophobia. The victim seized a
razor when he heard the diagnosis and
almost severed his head from his body
before any one could interfere with
him dying at once.
