Of an Infant The Mother ana Her
Brother Under Arrest.

The Ciucinati and other Rcwspa
pers have been publishing ptrticu-
lars for the past week Of a cruel case
OF Abandonment Of an infant in
which a barbour county Young
woman by the name Of Price and
her brother, Ed. Price, of New
burg, are connected.
t seems that the girl, who is the
mother OF the babe, left her home
at Moatsville last fall and went to
Clarksburg, where she remained
until after the birth of her child
Her brother at Newburg, couple
OF weeks ago went to Clarksburg
and accompanied his sister and her
babe to Chlllicothe, O., where he
claimed he had home for the child.
He took the babe from its mother
there but instead of putting it in
the care of some one, he left it in a
basket in brick yard, early in the
morning while the thermometer was
down near zero, and then taking
his sister left on a train for home.
The thus cruelty abandoned babe
was accidently discovered few
hours afterward almost frozen to
death. 1t was cared for by the au-
thorltles Of the city and steps were
at once taken to discover the per
petrators o. the outrage. They
were heard from at Parkersburg
and the chief Of police there tracked
them to Grafton and The matter
was here put in the hands Of Chief
Slyre, Of this city, who soon after
located the parties and an officer
from Chillicothe came on and ar.
rested Edward Price and took HIM
to the scene Of his crime. He is
new IN jail over there. Or Mon
day the Marshal OF Chilicothe ar
rived mere and the same day went

ing to her that he had a place for it
whore it would be adopted into a
family and kindly cared for. The

cruelty to which he resorted by his
anxiety to hide his sisters shame
and thus ho was led into the prepe
tratlon Of crime that may land
hlm In the penitentiary. Young
Price was married but few months
ago to young lady at Newburg.
Both the brother and sister have
borne excellent regulations hereto

ANOTHER BAD WRECK.

The w5ocI Of the east bound Roy
nj Blue Line, limited No. 2. pas
senCer train on Saturday morning
ncdI Oakland. was one OF the worst
that ever occurred on the Third
Division. The wreck was ut first
reported TO have been caused by
broken axle. but il now said to have
been caused by the rails spreading.
The entire train was ditched and
three coaches were thrown upon
their side. aud the Pullman sleep.
ing car "U krine' rolled down the
bank into the Youghiogheny river,
a stream which crosses the line of
the road about a mile and half
west OF Oakland. The Pullman car
broke in two and the roof was torn
of. Several OF the male passengers
who were In the Car swan ashore,
aud then with the assistance OF the
passengers and train crew in the
other cars soon secured their fellow
passengers who had been injured.
All the persons who were injured,
with the exception of slight hurts
and bruises, were IN the Pullman
sleeper.
Besides the car which went over
the bank and was almost totally dc.
stroyed, another sleeper on the
train was damaged to the eytent Of
several thousand dollars. while the
rest of the train was more or less
damaged. The double track was
torn up for considerable distance
by the smash-up and delayed traffic
on the liae for some time.
Con. Joseph S. Fullerton,
wealthy and Influential politician Of
st. Louis, was in the sleeper aud
is supposed to have been Instantly
killed, but the body has not been
found yet, although large reward
is offered for it, and big force of
men have been searching for the
remains. About dozen others
were badly hurt and were taken to
the hospital in Cum berland. 1t is
reported that several have since
died.
Gen. Fullerton, who had occu.
pied section of this car, could not
be found in the search, and it was
concluded that he had been caught
under the wreck of the car and
crushed to death or drowned; and
later as no trace was found Of the
body the searchers were forced to
the conclusion that he was drowned
and his body was carried away by
tie swift current Of the river. Gen.
Fullerton left about a week ago,
where he had been on business
connected with the Chickamaugua
National Military Commission, at
Chattanooga, for his home in st.
Louis. 1t was thought that his body
would be found beneath the Pull
man sleeper which rolled into the
river but when the debris was re-
moved it was not found. 1t is
supposed that the remains were
carried away by the swift current
Of the stream aud boats we're brought
this morning from Grafton and the

THE SALT LICK TRAGEDY.

good health. There are no new dc.

traitor Of the outrage, and the mat
ter Is gradually quieting down.
Mention was msdc in orr article
describing the affair, about the re
port in circulation connecting a
young widower who was In from
the west with the scrape. 1t was
common talk in the neighborhood
that he was in love with Miss Tan
FER and had been rejected by her,
and had returned to tho west about
the time of the shooting, and some
irresponsible parties went so far as
to hint that he might have had
something to do with it out OF re.
vonge. The ARGUS has been in.
vestlgating the matter, and we find
that there can be no grounds what
ever for tins report and it is all idle
gossip, MS the young man IN qucs-
ton bought his ticket for the west
in Grafton, aud must have been
hundreds of miles away when tho
deed was done. His father received
a letter from him dated and post
marked at Burlington, Iowa, on
Sunday, the next day after Miss
Tanner was shot, and in this letter
he says he would have arrived there
sooner, only their train was DELAYED
on account Of wreck. The Tan.
ner family and his family have al.
ways been on the best OF terms,
and ne belongs to one of the best
families of the community. his
father being leading member Of
the Methodist church and his
mother very estimable lady. Both
are much hurt over the report con.

There is fresh trouble in the
camp of the big politicians and fat
office seekers OF the "Restored
Confidence" Party in this state.
Since Gen. Golf did not 20 into
the Cabinet but concluded to wait
for Senator Faulkner's Congress
shoes, it has been expected that
West Virginia would get some other
position about as good as n Cabinet
place and National Committeeman
Scott Of Wheeling, who helped
Hanna run the campaign, agreed
or himself as The man for Com
missioner of internal Revenue or
something equally as good. But
just now John w. Mason of Fair
mont comes to the front and files
his application at Washington for
an Assistant Secretaryship of the
Treasury. Mason is big man
aud hard to throw down. If he
gets fat Office it knocks ont some
other fellow from this state and
makes Senator SCOTS road like
Jordan, a hard one to travel.
