THE JONES MURDER CASE.
Few New Developments Reported Yester

Few New Developments Reported Yester-
day.
Special to the Register.
New Martinsville. w. Va, November
3.--There are but few new develop
ments in the Louis Jones murder case,
an account of which appeared exclu-
sively in to-day's Register. Mollie ST.
Clair is the woman who did the
shooting She kept house of pros
titution on the south fork of Fishing
creek, four miles east of Pine Grove.
Jones went to her house and attempted
to break in; the woman fired, the ball
entering the mouth and killing him in
stantly. Jones had the name of a
bully and bad man all-around, I'M
married and an oil driller.
Mrs. ST. Clair resided in this town
with her father, John G. Ward. about
six or seven years ago. At that time
she was but school girl. Ward was
a member of the numbering firm of
Holer & Ward, which did an extensive
business here. The firm failed or
closed up the business, and Ward
commenced keeping livery stable in
the oil field. Miss Ward married St.
Clair, but left him and led shady life.
After shooting Jones she toos poison,
which Frustrated her until this MORN
ing. A telephone message sent E. L..
Robinson stated that the constable had
started for this city with Mrs.
ST. Clair and four or five girls who are
held as witnesses. No doubt all will
be taken to the Wheeling jail tonight
or tomorrow, as it is now used as the
Jail Of this county.
At p. M, your correspondent received
a telephone message at c. w. Barrack s
telephone office that the st. Clair woman
did the shooting. At p. M, I have infor-
nation that Jones was shot by Kitty
Morgan. Whether it is the same woman
under different name, or another woman
I can not determine at this time. The
constable passed Pine Grove at p. m,
with four women, but they are
not in at this time, owing to bad roads
and they may not get in tonight.

CUBA AND THE CUBANS."

The second attraction in the Y. M.
C. A. lecture and entertainment course
will be lecture by Miss Anna Buck
bee next Tuesday evening. Seats will
be reserved on Saturday morning. The
following comment is taken from the
Erie, Pa, Dispatch:
"The lecture given last Friday by
Miss Anna Buckbee in Normal Hall,
on the subject, Cuba and the Cubans.
was a great success. Although Miss
Buckbee has spoken at this place on
the same subject twice before, the lee
ture was almost entirely new, she hav-
ing added about sixty new views to
her already excellent collection. The
lecturer speaks rapidly and clearly of
the manners and customs of the peo-
pie. The lantern used is one of the
best and the pictures thrown upon
the screen were remarkably clear and
distinct"

MARTINS FERRY.

This city at the present time seems
to be having her share Of small SEN
sations, the latest of which is reported
from the Third ward. A couple of
days ago a we'll known married couple
parted in rather an odd way. The
wife called the husband to task for
not getting work of some kind, and
upon his resenting the attack was told
to leave the house and to not come
back. The surprised husband, seeing
no way out of it, packed his clothes
and left.
Democracy in general has come to
the front with colors flying, and al
though the county ticket elected was
Republican, the State election was very
gratifying.
If as much interest was taken in get
ting that new town clock as there was
in the election, we would have had it
long ago. If the money is not going
to be invested in the clock soon, it
would be a good idea to invest it in
some way that the people who con-
tributed to the fund could get scme-
thing for their money.

turned home from Cleveland, where
they have been visiting.

them had sufficient provisions to carry
them through the winter. Captain Tilton

ton. The Alexander had a terrible exper-

VALE, HANNA.
a is probably beaten.

VALE, HANNA.
Hanna is probably beaten.
1t was close fight, but the arch
enemy of government of, by, and for
the people is repudiated.
1t is possible that his well paid
managers, at the head of whom is his
tried and trusty henchman, Col. Dick,
Of unsavory repute, may endeavor to
kick up enough dust to cloud the Off
cial count and give the Hanna sharp
ers chance to cheat the people. But
1t is not likely that such tactics will
avail. Should an official count be nee
essary to decide the complexion of the
next Legislature, which is not prob
able, or, what is still less likely, that
the result in the close counties should
on technicalities be thrown into the
courts for decision, it must be borne
in mind that the eyes Of the whole
American people are centred on Ohio
and on the count and on the officials
engaged in the Work, ana the man
who may attempt to alter or discredit
the returns by any sort of chicanery
will have placed upon him a brand
more terrible than that of Cain and
there will be no place for him in
America.
That the design of the Hanna man
ayers was to cheat the people out of
their victory, if possible, should the
contest be close, is very evident from
the fact that the returns have been
extraordinarily tate this election, al
though there never were better facili-
ties for handling them early With
few exceptions every channel of news
from Ohio is in the control Of Hanna,
and it is as certain as that night fol-
lows day that il the returns had been
favorable to Hanna we would have
known the result probably twelve
hours sooner.
AS it is, withal the delay, manoeyre-
Ing and portentous but empty claims
Of the Hanna managers, the truth, that
the Democrats in the Legislature have
q safe majority on joint ballot for
United States Senator, cannot be sup
pressed.
The people have won and the people
know it. The mighty boss of the ad-
ministration, the representative of
plutocratic government, is beaten, and
he and all his nencAmen know it.
Hanna is beaten fairly and squarely,
and if he permits his corrupt gang of
poiitica! thieves and tricksters to in
terfere with the count he will do so
at his peril
The American people have had
enough of Hanna and his methods.
He has been defeated in a State that
is ordinarily safely Republican and
in which the whole poIitica, machinery
was at his command, backed by all
the power Of the administration at
Washington; that is enough; had the
people at large had a chance to pass
upon his candidacy, he would have
been overwhelmed by a thousand
fold greater majority.
The people consequently rejoice
that this arch-enerly Of popular gov
eminent and American institutions
has been defeated in his own State
where all the advantages were his.
Neither the people nor the peoples
representatives in Congress will be
inciined to lock leniently on any effort
of Hanna's to defeat the popular will
by fraud

vote, itself, in = State over

ENGLAND's LABOR TROUBLES.

A contemporary points out that it is
matter for congratulation on both
sides OF the Atlantic that there has been
an agreement between the Lancashire
cotton manufacturers and operatives to
submit to arbitration G difference which
was on the verge of causing a very
disastrous strike. If the strike had
been declared, as was fully expected.
upwards Of 100000 operatives would
have been thrown cut of employment
for several months entailing loss esti-
mated at not less than $3.50, 900, 0C0, and
probably running the English cotton in
dustry. The effect would have been
seriously felt on this side as we'll. Cot
ton is now at the lowest point ever
reached, and with total cessation Of
English demand for several months the
outlook for American cotton raisers
would be still more gloomy.
The question at issue between the
Lancashire manufacturers and their
operatives was one of reduced wages.
The manufacturers had given notice
that reduction of per cent. in wages
would be made and that even with this
decrease in expenses 1t was not expect
ed to save themselves from loss. To
secure small profit reduction of 10
per cent. would be necessary, but the
standing agreement with the operatives
union forbids reduction of more than
per cent. The operatives at first re-
fused to concede the reduction, but at
the last minute conference between
the employers and operatives resulted
in an agreement to submit the question
to arbitration.
The position taken by the manufact-
urers is that the United States market
for cotton goods is practically lost to
them; that India and China are manu-
featuring for themselves instead of i'm
porting from England; and that Canada
has been buying textile machinery in
England for the purpose of building up
a cotton manufacture for its own needs.
They maintain that while they will
barely be able to hold their own by
reducing wages, long strike will be
to the advantage of their foreign COM
petitors, and when it ends from sheer
exhaustion there will be nothing left
Of the cotton industry except, perhaps,
to supply home needs. The export
demand will have disappeared.
The engineering strike continues,
but the indications are that the men
will be beaten. Whatever other conces-
sions may be made by the employers
federation they refuse absolutely to
even consider the eight-hour day prop
osition, and although the withdrawal
of that demand will be the abandon
ment of the real issue involved in the
are preparing to back down. The dam
age to British industry and commerce
through the strike has been enormous,
and it is generally admitted that much
of the business lost cannot be regained
to England. If to the long continued
agricultural depression and the paral-
ysis caused by the disagreements in
the shipbuilding and engineering trades
had been added total suspension for
months of cotton manufacturing the
English Industrial prospect would have
been dark indeed.
