KILLED THREE PEOPLE.
An Aged Widow, n Daughter and Young
Son Killed b, Farm hand-The
Murderer Captured Red handed.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Nov. o.
A report reached this place late to-
night that the entire population OF
jackson county were aroused aud in a
high pitch of excitement over triple
murder occurring there last night, but
which was not known until this
morning. The details are given as
follows:
An aged widow, named Green, who
lived on a farm on an isolated place
on Glass Lick, eight miles from RIP
ley, with two married daughters and
son about Is years old sold a horse
yesterday for which she received $50.
John Morgan, about 20 years OF age,
whom the Green family adopted and
raised, who until recently worked on
their farm, was present when the sale
was made and appeared to be exceed
ingly interested in the transaction.
During the afternoon he made sew
eral inquiries as TO whether the money
had been paid, and when Mrs. Green
answered in the Affirmative he seemed
pleased and returned to his work.
SAID HE WAS MORGAN.
Early in the night the family were
awakened by rap at the door, the
person desiring admission announcing
himself as Morgan. As Mrs. Green
opened the door the young man struck
her with huge club, and before the
balance of the family had reached the
spot he had beaten her to death.
He then turned 10 the daughters,
killing the eldest with one blow, and
as he thought, killing the younger In
the same manner. As the boy Wit
messed the murder OF his mother and
sisters he rushed through rear door
and hid in the corn crib, where he
was soon found and beaten to death
by the assassin.
While Morgan was searching for
the boy Mrs. Green's youngest daugh-
ter revived and escaped to the woods,
where she was followed by Morgan,
whom she eluded in the darkness.
After committing the triple murder
Morgan ransacked the house, took
what money he found and fled.
ALARMED THE NEIGuBoRHooD.
The young girl, who was the only
survivor of the terrible tragedy, re-
manned in hiding until about O'Clock
this morning, when she appeared at a
neighber's house In a terrible condi-
tion AND reported the murders, and
an investigation of the crime started.
The story spread like lightning and
soon a thorough search for the MUIR
derer WAS progressing with the pur
pose of lynching him. BY strange
fate he was found by officers instead
of the citizens within few miles of
the place Of the crime, covered with
blood and holding tightly to the money
he had secured.
The officers, knowing it would be
unsafe to take him to the county Jail,
hid him in the woods, where he still
was at late hour tonight. The mob
is still after him, and it appears that
they will discover and lynch him by
daylight. Mrs Green was a member
of prominent family, having been
married twice, the name of her first
husband being Post. She was the
mother of II. f. Pfost, President of
the Ripley Bank, and DIR. James
Pfost, of Spencer.

johnson, of Lynn Center ILL.,, is sub
ject to attacks of Group. Mr.. john
son says he Is satisfied that the timely
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
during a severe attack, saved his little
boys life. He is in the drug business,
member of the firm of Johnson Bros,
OF that place, and they handle a
great many patent medicines for
throat and lung diseases. He had all
these to choose from, and skilled
physicians ready to respond to his call,
but selected this remedy for use in his
own family at time when his child's
life was In danger, because he knew it
TO be superior to any other, and ia
nous the world over for its cures of
Group. Mr.. Johnson says this is the
best selling cough medicine they han
die, and that it gives splendid salts

against Mrs. Matilda Metz, OF this
city.
Hauptman's wife died four years
age, and the widower left his year old
baby with Mrs. Metz, agreeing to pay
$40 monthly for its board. A short
time ago he asked for the little ones

possession on the ground that $3.50
was due on her bill.
Hauptman applied for a writ of
habeas corpus. The court decided in
his favor. Subsequent proceedings
may be brought Tor collection OF the
debt, but his daughter will remain in

STRIKES SETTLE d.
The Miners Of the Kanaw ha Are Gran.
ted Terms.

Charleston, Nov 4.-The strike OF
the miners in Kanawha and Fayette
counties Is settled, and thus the
last Of the labor troubles in West
Virginia disappear. Labor Commits
sioner Barton, who has been here for
the last two days in consultation
with Governor Atkinson, receive d
information by wire this morning
that the operators at Montgomery
and in the New River district had
arranged matters with the strikers;
that two of the largest mines would
resume operations tomorrow, and
that all the other mines would be
opened on Monday with union men.
The strike was for the recognition
of the union, which has its strongest
hold in that section, and up to late
last night serious trouble was antici-
pated. The terms of the settlement
are that the operators will employ
the union men and recognize them
as such, but reserve the right to
employ non-union men with them in
any of their mines should they choose
TO do so. The miners have agreed
to these terms.

CONSUMPTION.
Is Said to Have Master in Oxytuber.
cuIIne.

The Royal Academy of Medicine OF
Belgium has designated DR.. Van
Lair to make an examination of DIR.
Hirschfelder's oxytuberculine, which
he claims cures consumption. The
formula briefly stated is veal soaked
in water and its juice then boiled and
filtered. Glycerine, peptone and salt
are then put in the liquid, which is then
made slightly alkaline by carbonate
of soda. In this liquid germs OF
tuberculosis are grown. When fully
developed, the liquid with the germ
is boiled and filtered, and the result
ant liquid is tuberculine This
forms the basis of Hirschfielder's
preparation. Peroxyde OF hydrogen
is added bit and the mixture Is heat
ed for thirteen hours, when 1t be-
comes oxytuberculine. 1t is clarified
by caustic soda solution and bora
cic acid is put into 1t to prevent de-
composition.

Mrs. Atkinson's Trial.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Nov. d.
Persons interested in the prosecu-
ton of Mrs Atkinson assert with
much confidence that Immediately
after Judge Blizzard closes the reg
ular terms Of courts in the several
counties Of his circuit he intends
calling special term of the Gilmer
county circuit court and proceed
with the second trial of the Govern
or's wife on the forgery indictments.
The prosecution are using their ut
most efforts to get together new evil
dence.
In addition to the second trial Of
Mrs. Atkinson, Camden Sommers, it
is alleged will make the Governor
the defendant in a damage suit bas-
ed upon the published statement
issued by Mr. Atkinson Immediately
upon the close of the first trial. 1t
is altogether probable that both
cases will be tried not later than
mid winter.

Awarding the Monongahela Dams.
Pittsburg Times,


The contract for building the six
new dams on the upper Monongahela,
which had to be re-let owing to the
failure of a former bidder to furnish
bonds for the work, will go to G. l.
Mcdonald, of Pittsburg, for 5000, sl4,
unless some unforeseen obstacle pre-
vents. The price is regarded as low,
but the bidder is no novice, and he
probably knows what he is doing.
Taking that much for granted, the
unfortunate delay which followed the
failure of the other bidder to qualify
for the job may now be looked upon
as at an end. With reasonably good
luck the contractor may be ex-
pected to set to work fairly early in
the season, and to make rapid head
way on his job. The time Of finish
ing is not so particular. 1t is the be-
ginning that is important. For half
a century it has been the dream of the
West Virginian that he might some
day have water transportation to get
his coal out to market. Now the day
is in sight when the river will bear
away his fleets and bring back the
money that will unlock the great
treasure house that Nature has con-
cealed among the mountains of the
upper Monongahcla and its tributar-
les. West Virginia is probably the
most richly endowed of all the coal
States of the Union. Perhaps no.
