The Inquest at Crabbottom.

The inquest held over the body of Mrs.
Jennie Wines, who died suddenly in Crab
bottom last week, which fact was made
mention of in our last issue, resulted in a
disagreement of the attending physicians as
to the cause of her death. DIR. W. W. Dear,
who was Mrs. Winners physician, said her
death was the result of an affection of the
spine while DR.. E. j. Jones held that there
were circumstances connected with her death
which strongly indicated the use of some
kind of poison. The JurY's verdict was that
the probable cause of her death was spinal
meningitis, while it may have resulted from
causes unknown to them. Mr.. Colaw, COM
monwealth's attorney, has not fully deter
mined whether it is necessary to proceed
further in the case and have chemical
analysis made, yet it seems that this is the
only way to clear up doubts that are ex-
isting in the minds of the friends of the de-
ceased.-HighlandR Recorder.

GRAIN TRADE AND CROPS.
The Cincinnati Price-Current of la

The Cincinnati Price-Current of last
Thursday says.
The week has been mild in tempera
ture most of the time in the central
regions, and generally favorable for
operations of seasonable nature. Lit
tie of special note has been developed
in any line Of interest, that is in strik-
ing contrast with previous indications.
A more cheerful feeling is manifestly
prevailing in agricultural districts, cor
responding with the more confident
situation in Industrial channels, and it
appears to be not too much to say that
the tide has changed permanently in
the direction of better times.
The offerings of corn in the interior
are quite irregular-in various sections
they are free and of liberal proportions,
while in many others they are restrict
ed by growing confidence in better
prices, for which the grain is being
tenaciously held.
The offerings of wheat, as heretofore,
are of small volume, in all directions.
The higher prices have in 8 few In
stances brought out supplies more free
llv but in more cases have had the eff
feet to strengthen the holding senti-
ment.
The flour trade, notably SO here in
the Ohio valley region and southwark,
| is feeling the effect of the dispropor-
tionate values of wheat and corn by an
enlarging absorption of corn meal to
the displacement of wheat flour. While
| it is not to be expected that a quick
and radical change from wheat to corn
as bread product is to be made, it is
surely reasonable to count on an en-
llarging tendency in such direction
while there continues to be such diff
ference in favor of, corn as now pre-
walls.
| The growing wheat crop islnaintain-
ling it's fine promise, and the weather
| thus far has been favorable for putting
it into good form for the winter. In
some localities there has been more OF
less deficiency in moisture.
In the wheat markets the changes
have not been exceptional. the week
closing moderately lower than a week
ago, with even greater lessening II
the comparison for corn, which grain
has not been moving in as large volume
as in the recent past.
| December wheat at Chicago closed
BIC below the highest point of the
week, 2sc above the lowest point, ane
ac higher than a week ago.
J, Corn at Chicago for December CLOSED
{ &c below the highest point of the week
4c above the lowest point of thu
week, and 1gc lower than week ago.
Wheat receipts at primary market
/ were 1926. 900 bushels for the weel
+ against 5,751, 900 the preceding week
and S.259. 900 last year.

"A West Virginia Tragedy.

New MARTINsyILLE, W. VA, Nov.
17.-This evening A. L. Dulaney, a
wealthy farmer and connected with
the best families in the county, was
killed in the streets OF Wiieyville by
James, z. Taylor, also farmer, who
came to Wetzell county from Pennsyl
evania five years ago. Taylor was at
work on the road near his home, Just
before dusk, when Dulaney came by
and stopped. just what the converse
ton which followed was about is un-
known. but in a few minutes Taylor
began making angry threats and then
ran into the house. He almost imme
diately emerged with a double barreled
shotgun, while his wife appeared at
the door and begged her husband to
return. Taylor raised his gun and fred
at Dulaney. who was still in the road
and about fifteen yards away. The
whole charge of shot struck Dulaney
in the upper part of the abdomen and
he died almost instantly. Taylor es-
ca ped into Ohio.

A Tragedy in Norfolk.

NORFOLK, VA, Nov. 17.-This after
noon. Fred. Martin, a saw-filer, who
lived-at "a Fenchurch street, it being
Mrs. Crawford's boarding house, shot
his wife and then himself. At $3.50 pis-
tol shots were heard in the house and
every one therein ran in the direction
of the sound. They found that the
trouble was in Martins room, upstairs.
He was found to be shot in the right
side of the forehead and in the right
side of the body. He died within a
very few mintes after the desperate
deed, having taken ais own life. His
wife was found to be shot three times
through the body, in the region of the
stomach, and her condition is most
critical. No cause for the tragic affair
has developed.

Lifetime of a Great Gun.

The effective lifetime of great gun
one of the 100 ton sort, for example,
which requires charge of $50 pounds
of powder and discharges projectile
weighing 1900 pounas-is said to be
only one second. 1t can be fired with
safety 100 times, aud then must be put
out of commission. But il takes only
100 of a second for the powder to
burn and eject the projectile, SO that
one second stands for 100 discharges
and measures the limit Of activity of
the gun.

The Position Of the South.

There prevails in the North an idea
that the South is inimical to the gov
eminent, that it is an Instructor and
a malcontent. This opinion
springs from the fact that since the
war the South has usually been ''solid"
in Presidential elections.
Nothing could have been more nat
ural when the situation was studied.
Human nature teaches that men are
the enemies of those things which are
the enemies of men. So the South be-
lieving she had bitter vindictive enc
my in the Republican party was al
ways an enemy of that party. This
condition arose not from any peculiar
ity in Southern people, but from that
sense of self preservation which is the
first law of Nature.
Let the Republican party demon
strate, now that it is soon to take con-
troll of the government, that it is not
class legislating party, that it will
accord to the Southern people the
same confidence that it accords to
other portions of the nation. as citi-
zens, that it will cease to denounce
| them as rebels longing for an oppor-
tunity to engage in war against the
country, or as anarchists planning the
overthrow of the government, and
treat them as loyal and intelligent cit
l 4 Il a oo II q q
to complain of any act of the ''Solid
South"
The South has all along been i'm
pressed with the fact that the laws OF
| finance and taxation were intended to
and did operate heavily against them;
they knew that the agriculturaIists OF
this country were fast falling into serf
dom, and they joined hands as they
thought in the last struggle as in ipre
vious ones, with their fellow sufferers
to ameliorate their condition. If they
lhave been wrong about this THERE
publican party can now show them
the fact, if they have been chasing an
ignisfatuus the Republican party car
now show the myth. Let them dc
this by producing prosperity and Of
course with it contentment and hap
piness, and the South will be found
+ amongst the first to praise the gooo
. work and laud those who brought
about the happy condition. On thu
other hand if the present administra
8 ton begins system of oppression, and
r a government of abuse of the Soutl
r they ought not to respect her, if sh'
t does not resent it by both word ant

There is no desire or expectation OF
n the part of the South to take an!
o place in the affairs of the nation othe
e than that of subordination. Sh
v knows it will not be accorded her, ant
she does not seek it but she does ant
q will seek for her people that degree o
e respect which the good citizens the,
are, and their high character and in

it be understood that their loyalty to
