party of.3l5 emigrants who lett Savsn
nah for Liberia by the steamer Labra
dor, in March, 1896, have just arrived
at Liverpool from Liberia. The Farm
ers are, destitute, and the Waites have
only enough money to enable them to
reach the United States. All the adult
members OF the party describe The con
dition of those whom they have left 10
Liberia as being most pitiable. They
say the land promised them by the LII
berian agents in the United States turn.
ed out to be absolutely no good; they
claim there is no gold or diamonds
there; they assert that more than hall
the Labrador's party are dead, and that
the rest of them are trying to reach the
United States. The Waites aud Farm
ers say, in conclusion, that the Liberian
government did nothing for them, and
that the climate of the Republic of Lii
IBERIA is most unhealthy.

A VIRGINIA TRAeEDY.-A dispatch

A VIRGINIA TRAGEDY.-A dispatch
from Williamson, W. Va, says: Jeai-
ousy was the cause of the enactment of
. fatal tragedy in the extreme north
western part of Virginia, just opposite
Grey, Mingo, county, Friday afternoon.
Lately John Hardin, of Buchanan
county, Va, had conceived deadly
hatred for George Mounts, living just
across the State line, in Mingo county.
W. Va, on account Of friendship be-
tween Mounts and his (Hardin's) wife.
Friday afternoon Mounts. in company
with Scott Ellis, was passing along the
public road near the home of Hardin,
when he was fred upon by John and
Tom Hardin, who were lying in am
bush. Mounts fell dead. Ellis at OF &c
threw up his hands aud called to tie
Hardins:
FOR Gods sake, don't shoot ma. !
have done nothing to you"
Again they fired, aud E lis fell with
a mortal wound just above the heart.
Mounts and Ellis were two of the
best ciGzens in Mingo county, and The
killing created intense excitement. 1t Is
claimed Mounts was innocent. The
Hardins go far have escaped capture.

Salem. Or, February 15.-Thirty-one
members Of the Mitchell joint assem-
bly, met at the capitol tonight and dis
cussed the senatorial situation at length
and in all Its phases. II was a secret
conference. but It is known that no
formal action looking either to the con-
tinued support Of Mitchell or his with
drawal was taken. Some Of the meTn-
bers advocated supporting Senator
Mitchell to the end. Taylor made sew
eral earnest talks. which seemed TO re-
fleet the sentiment Of many Of those
present. 1t was 20 the effect that the
interests Of the Republican party were
higher than tl1oss Of any one man. but
he added that the members Of this con-
ference ought 20 have a right to name
a candidate, II II Is seen that Michell
cannot be elected Reed did not be-
lleve In allowing the minority to dictate
TO the majority. Senator Patterson, Of
Marion, thought the thirty-one could
afford TO hold out in their present atfi-
Jude There was no attempt whatever
to secure an expression binding men,
bers to keep up the fight In Mitchel's
behalf. The conference adjourned till
Wednesday night.
A rImor Is afioat that Thursday Is
the day set for organization, but It can
be definitely stated that no specific time
has been decided on 1t is the purpose
Of the opposition to organize when Il Is
felt that Mitchell Is safely beaten.
MET AND ADJOURNED.
Salem. February 15.-Only thirty three
members were present at today's ses-
sion Of the joint convention. Represen-
tatives Hudson. Vaughan, and Wagner
sent letters asking TO be excused on ac-
count OF illness. Senator Reed and
Representatives Mitchell and veness.
who were also absent. sent no excuses.
After roll was called the convention ad-
journed till tomorrow at noon.
1t is not likely that Representative
Mitchell, Of Marion. will enter the con-
vention tomorrow.
There was nothing done in the SEN
ate or either Of the houses today.
DITTO DAVIS HOUSE
Salem, February 15.-The Davis house
met at 11:45 tonight Sixteen members
were present. Adjournment was taken
till five minutes after II. When that
time arrived the house was again call
ed to order and adjourned till $3.50 a
