HON. WIN. H. TRAyERS.

The sudden termination Of the lie
Of this excellent citizen, kind friend
and genial, honorable gentleman, is
noted elsewhere. Our first knowl-
edge OF Mr.. Travers, was when he
was Speaker of the House OF Dele
gates, before either Of US located in
West Virginia. The writer, had not
then attained his majority. Grow.
ing into the same profession, and in
same judicial circuit, We became well
acquainted, and in many warm con-
tests, cur friendship grew stronger,
and in leisure hours, it was great
pleasure for judge AID attorneys to
join ia companionable converse with
MIR. Travegs. He was in the front
rank OF lawyers, OF fine culture and
splendid literary attachments, and
worthy,of honorable place any where.
Cur lasS view ahi kno wledge of him
was in a contest on tue Sd. 4th and
9th days OF January, 1899, in a trial
at Berkeley Springs with Mr.. West
enbayer as special judge. He was
a steady, ready, sturdy and cautious
lawyer, and evidently as noted,
practically died in the harness. That
be had deserved the confidence,
and respect Of the judges and Bar
wherever he practiced or was known
will never be doubted. A life, thus
spent and the many years thus so
meritously harvested, unto a spot
less and commeudable release from
labor and duty, furnishes a bright
and impeEishablo record in the Court
from which there is no appeal.

Mr.. DINGLEY WEAKER.
Physicians Have Not Abandoned Hope,
but His Condition Is Critical.

WASHINGTON. Jan.sS.-At 9 o'clock this
morning Mr.. Dingley was sleeping quietly
and his condition had not changed. Mr..
Dingley's condition in the past twenty-four
hours has been extremely critical and de-
spite the assurance of the physicians that
they have not abandoned hope, there is
strong apprehension as to the outcome, the
patient growing gradually weaker. The ply
stefan who remained most of the night re-
ported at midnight: Mr. Dingley is GER
tainly no worse and is resting quietly"
Messrs. Edward N. and A II. Dingley, of
Kalamazoo, two of the sons who speeded
between Kalamazoo and Fort Wayne on a
special switch engine to catch the flyer
there, arrived here last night, and A. G..
Dingley, another son, will reach here Mon
day from Mexico. President Mckinley called
al the hotel to inquire in person yesterday
afternoon, and Mrs. Mckinley sent the dis
tinguished patient a bunch of flowers.
Representative Hull, of Iowa, is reported
to be steadily improving, and no further
concern is felt over his condition, although
it will take some days for recuperation.
Both eX-Secretary of State John W. Fos-
ter and Hon. Wayne McVeagh are steadily
gaining ground, and were much improved
last night.

THE TYLER LYNCHING

Before Grand Jury This Week.
speciaI to the 1naIanapolis journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
SCOTTSBURG, Ind, Jan. County Cor
oner Andrew L. Blaekall to-day resumed his
official inquest in the matter of the lynching
of Marion Tyler here on the morning of Dec.
"A. Two days last week were consumed in
taking testimony, ard at that time there
were no sensational developments, yet there
were enough to give Attorney General Tay-
Tor and other officers sufficient encourage
ment to continue the investigation. AT that
time there did not appear to be much inter
est taken in the matter by citizens except
from a matter of curiosity, but
to-day when the inquest convened a very
good crowd was present and the officers
were given to understand that the sentiment
of the people was clearly in favor of a Wig
orous investigation. About a dozen wit
nesses testified, some in private. The testi-
mony Of the latter can only be surmised.
The testimony given to-day established the
fact that at least a portion of the mob came
to Scottsburg that night from a distance;
that they came afoot, having hitched their
horses in the bottoms about two miles north
of this place, near the Marshfeld water
tank This water tank is the Pittsburg,
Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway.
rms testimony was not given publicly, but
1t is generally admitted a fact. This.
coupled with other stories which
have in mysterious ways reached the off,
GERS, leads them TO believe that they have a
very good clew. Nearly all who testified
to-day reside in the country-some as far as
SIX miles from this place. 1t developed to-
day that the attorney general and deputy
prosecutor We're in possession of pointers
OF which the public here is not advised.
This afternoon somewhat of a sensation
was created by one witness whose manner
on the stand indicated that he was not
willing to talk. He examined closely,
and he seemed to be very positive in his
answers While his testimony alone was
not of such vast Importance, the evidence
OF others when taken in connection appeared
TO establish a most important clew for the
officers to work upon. Indeed, the conduct
Of this witness was enough to cause a
silence in the room, which indi-
Gated plainly that the audience believed
the officers had at last hit upon clew
worth following. Summing up the whole
testimony so far given publicly there is
nothing developed to warrant the arrest of
any one. At the request of the attorney
general. deputy prosecutor and many citi-
zens Coroner Blackall at 5 o'clock this aft
ernoon continued the inquest indefinitely.
Circuit Court convenes next Monday, and
special grand jury has been drawn to in
yestigate the lynching. 1t is believed that
Judge Willard New will deliver such
charge to the grand jury as will cause it TO
make most thorough investigation.
