For the murder of woman in Null
berry street, New York, five Italians
were arrested They had been only
a few years in this country, and the
detectives decided to look up their
records" in the prefecture OF police
at Naples. 1t turns out that one of
them was convicted nine times, In
Italy, of theft and blackmail; another,
sixteen times, of assault. blackmail and
attempt at murder; two others. six and
nine times respectively, of various
crimes; and the fifth. .twenty-one times,
of assault, theft and attempt at mur-
der. OF course it is well for Italy
that another nation stands ready 10
take such scoundrels of her hands.

except reputation for soft-headed
hospitality-if we enacted immigration
laws that would keep them out?

eds Three Interesting Interviews.
The Governors and senators have
been asked for an expression of their
sentiments on the blowing up of the
Maine and have answered the press.
The expressions coming from the gov
ernor and the senators from West
Virginia are very interesting to our
readers and we take pleasure in re-
producing them The interviews
show that the entire country is united
on determination to do every thing
with caution but with great determi-
nation. The interviews of the West
Virginians are as follows:
SENATOR S. b. ELKINs.
i beg to state that l am ready TO
follow and stand by the President in
any course he may pursue toward
Spain, growing out OF the blowing up
OF the Maine and out of the Cuban
situation. So far as the facts are
disclosed, do not think there is any
ground for war. War could only
come about on our being satisfied that
Spain was party to the blowing up
of the Maine, which 1 do not believe.
j fully believe the Government Of
Spain will be willing to do whatever
is right in the premises by way of
apology ard indemnity touching this
disaster, II any responsibility should
attach under international law or
otherwise. S. b. ELKINs.

FAIKMoNT, March 7.-Ex-Govenor
A. b. Fleming, after reading the war
like utterance of Ex-Governor Mac
Corkle al d the more peaceful express
ion Of Governor Atkinson on the
Maine disaster, said to-day that he
doesn't see any likelihood of war or
any need of it.
If it is proved that the Spanish
government had the Maine blown up,
then we ought to thrash Spain, but
this great nation is not going to de-
clare war upon.th strength OF sensa-
tional newspaper reports. Nobody
knows anything about it except the
Board of Inquiry Let US wait until
the board reports. War is an awful
thing, and every possible and honor
able means should be exhausted be-
fore appealing to the sword.

opinion on subject touching which
/ have such indefinite information.
/ have entire confidence in the board
of naval officers appointed TO inyesti-

lean assure you that Congress, in my
opinion, will up hold and sustain the
President in any action he may take
to maintain the honor and dignity
of this nation in this or any other
matter.
The conduct Of the officers and men

THE GOVERNOR
Writes a Letter Favoring the Diyis-
ion of the State Into Judicial
Districts.

D1Str1ctS-
WASHINGTON, March 5.-Congress
man Dayton is to prepare brief in
short time in favor of his bill to
divide West Virginia into two judi
cial districts.
Governor Atkinson has written a
strong letter to the judiciary commit
tee in favor of the measure. 1t is in
reply to the protest from the 100
Democratic lawyers of the state against
the bill Governor Atkinson says
s'the bill is an absolute necessity for
the proper conduct of the judicial
business of the state OF West Virgin
la. Our court is now congested to
such an extent that it is impossible
for one judge to dispose of the bust
ness even in half way satisfactory
manner Governor Atkinson then
pays high tribute to Judge Jackson
and his work on the bench. He says
the West Virginia Judge has been
doing better and more work than any
other judge In the country, and that
1t is not his own fault that the bust
ness is not disposed Of. He also
speaks in commendatory manner Of
the two clerks of the United States
courts, but says they are opposed to
the measure because it will make a
cut In their income from fees. He
says: "There are at this time more
than five hundred cases on the civil
docket, most OF which are land cases,
involving the titles to large tracts of
land, so that 1t will require at least
five years to dispose Of Them Gov
ernor Atkinson also says that In his
conversation with leading lawyers OF
the state he fails to find single one
who does not admit the necessity of
the passage Of the Dayton bill.

FOUND DEAD.
Lewis Wisman. of this County,
Dies Suddenly in the
Ritchie Oil Fields.

Heart Disease the Alleged CauGe-No
Notice sent his parents Until Last
Friday q Postal Card Came telling
them Of the sad Occurrence Buried
Hastily = Some suspicious Looking
Circumsfances--The Affair should be
Inquired Into-Too many People Dy-
ing suddenly and their relatives moi
Notified.
Last Friday postal card was re-
ceised by Jos. Wisman, who lives
near Arnettsyille, this county. 1t
stated that his son Lewis had been
found dead on the 10Th Of February
in the Richie county oil fields and
that he had been buried there, This
was the first and only intimation
that the family had that anything
was wrong with the young man. He
had been there for some time in the
oil field and had several teams work
ing there.
The card stated that there was no
suspicion of foul play but that he had
died OF heart disease. In the snorning
when he was called to get up the dis
coyery was made that he was dead,
having died during the night without
making any noise that any one heard.
He was very well disposed young
man and is known by many Of the
residents of the county. Why the
sad affair was not communicated to
them sooner and chance given to
them TO have some say in the disposi-
ti0n Of the body is hard to say. This
sort Of thing is getting too common.
Another case of it happened only a
few weeks ago. That was the drown
ing OF Warren Hoskins. There may
be nothing suspicious in thus burying
a man without saying anything to his
relatives about his death, but even to
the casual observer it looks very bad.
The circumstances of the death
should be investigated and the facts
in the case indisputably established.
There may be nothing wrong but it
will be worth looking into.

DORR's REBORN


''The Recorder has been accused of
Unnecessary persistency in urging the
republicans of the third congressional
district to nominate some other than
G. p. Dorr for representative In con-

generous when it sees occasion for it,
and it now proposes to give Mr.. Dorr
the benefit of all that he claims in
his own favor. He has reformed.
Yes, reformed; and his intimate
friends are busy circulating the good
news. The whole miserable past
Pullman car, Marine barracks, the
division in Washington, Adelphi

be buried in wave of reformation.
