Died.

JoLLIFEE-Died on Friday March
II of injuries received several days be-
fore Charles Jolliffe aged about twenty
three years. He was struck on Tues
day by piece Of flying lumber at the
Montgomery Planning Mill in South
Morgantown and from the start it was
seen that he had no chance to re-
cover The remains were taken to his
home four miles from town on Friday
afternoon and the interment took
place at FairvieW on Saturday at two
o'clock. He was son of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Jolliffe and was young
man Of excellent habits. Many people
knew him and they all speak in the
highest terms of his worth. A pecu-
liarly sad thing in connection with the
death is the fact that he had intended
TO quit on Saturday and build house
preparatory to his marriage which was
to have taken place soon. Another
strange circumstance in connection
with this death is the fact that it was
three months almost to a day when he
was buried since Jacob yesterday was
buried as result of the same kind of
an accident in the same mill.

Some of the Statements in Regard to
the Death Of K. C. Burdette, of
GraftOn.

1t is now denied by F. C. Bur
dette's relatives at Grafton that
there was any element to prove sui
eide in the death of the man in ques-
ton. 1t is stated that the chemist
at Baltimore to whom the stomach
was sent for analysis has not yet re-
ported the result of the investiga-
ton.
We are sorry that This paper
stated that he had and that the re-
suit was the discovery of enough
poison in the organ to kill several
men The reports however had been
sent out from Grafton to all the city
papers and there was apparently no
reason for doubling them.

APRIL TENTH.
Second West Virginia Will then
Come Marching Home.

Regiment has Made Proud Record
Every one Speaks in Highest Terms
of it-faithful Performance OF an
Onerous Duty Praise for the Colon
el who is Accredited to MorgantOwn
Only a Few Troops VIII Remain
in the Service from this State.
The Second West Virginia regi-
ment has been detailed for provost
guard duty at Greenville, S. G., for
some time past and have had par
ticmlarly hard time of it lately. The
decentralization among the soldiers
Incident To be mustered out and be-
ing paid OFT having resulted in con.
siderable rioting and free fighting
among the troops. It has been the
duty of the West Virginia boys to
keep down the trouble. and the
Greenville Daily News pays the fol-
lowing high compliments to them
for the manner in which they per-
formed their duty.
'sThe West Virginians have had
the most trying time of all, the pay
ment of five regiments having been
made in two days of their tour. At
times there were fights among sol
diers raging in every quarter OF the
city at the same time, but fortunate-
" none of these resulted in any dan
gerons wounds, though one of the
combatants is now laid up in the
division hospital with a cracked
skull. The West Virginians execu-
ted their duty vigorously and Wig
ilantly. They performed their task
SO well that petition generously
signed was gotten up among the cit
liens asking that the regiment be
retained on provost duty until the
muster out.
This will take place on April tenth
and the N en- will then be ready to
scatter to their homes. The regi-
ment has been very anxious TO get
out for sometime and there has been
considerable friction in the organi-
cation in consequence but that has
all disappeared The regiment has
been in camp where it now is for
several months doing nothing and
this monotone has been very trying
on the men.
Many of the members OF the regi-
ment are known here and their let
tiers to friends here all bear the
same song and that is of gladness
at getting out of the service. Their
colonel is accredited to Morgantown
and since he has made very fine
record and has been complimented
so highly on the condition Of his
command we are not averse to claim
ing him as our own. Col. Casteel is
the commanding officer.
When the muster out is complet-
ed the state will have then but two
companies in the service These
are two in the Fourth Immunes and
they will soon also be dismissed as
their period of usefulness is ended.

WILL BRING SUIT.
Virginia War Debt Question
Bobs up Again.
Secretary OF the Treasury to Bring
Suit Against This State Rider Placed
on an Approx riasion Discovery
Made After Congress adjourned
This State May be Held up Yet.

Some new developments regarding
the Virginia debt matter have come
to light since the adjournment of Con-
gress. 1t was frequently published
that Wall street syndicate had
contract with the certificate holders
whereby they were TO receive a vast
profit If they brought about settle
ment under their contract. This syn
dictate was frequently at Charleston
and the legislature would never listen
to any of their schemes.
Some time ago it was whispered
that this syndicate had established
confidential relations with high
official of the treasury department at
Washington, and that he would aid
their scheme by asking Congress to
bring suit against West Virginia and
Virginia, the pretext to be that the
United States were the owners of
1851 900 of Virginia bonds purchased
before 1860 as trustees for certain
tribes of Indians. A bill was intro
duced for the purpose in the last Con-
gress, which was dropped as it became
known that it was a trick TO use the
name of the United States for the
benefit of Wall street syndicate. Tt
seems, however. that just before Con-
gress adjourned the other day, some
stool-pigeon of this Wall street syndi-
cate. without attracting notice added
rider to one section of the appro-
priation bill, and this rider author
lied the secretary of the treasury to
bring suit.

ROBBED A STRANGER.
Arrest of Two Bunko Men for Grand
Larceny.


J. C. Belmont, alias Mccormack, and
John, alias "Dutchy," Reynolds. we'll
known bunko men, were arrested last
night and charged with grand larceny.
Shortly after o'clock Belmont met
Christian Larouette, recent arrival from
San Jose, and after representing that he
was a capitalist from Sacramento induced
him to accompany him to a saloon at lO2
Geary street. While they were drinking
Reynolds appeared and proposed that they
shake the dice for the drinks. Belmont
lost, and becoming angry. as Larouette
thought, he offered to shake Reynolds
''for all the money he had"
Failing to influence Larouette to take a
hand in the game, Belmont asked him
to hold the stakes, which amounted to sew
eral dollars. Their innocent victim read
ily consented and taking out his purse
containing 5000 placed the money that had
been bet by the scheming pair in 1t. Just
then Belmont grabbed the purse and
passed II to Reynolds. The latter quickly
disappeared. but. determined to get even,
Larouette seized Belmont by the neck ana
held him until Policeman Collins arrived;
He was then placed under arrest and
taken to the City Prison.
Shortly after he was booked Reynolds
who had changed his clothing, appeared
at the prison gate and inquired for Bel
mont Corporal Parrotte at once recog-
nized him and informed Policeman Collins
and Detective Dillon, who were in the
nrison at the time. They promptly went
outside and placed Reynolds under arrest
much to his chagrin. After he was recoS-
niZed by the victim he was also booked on
a charge of grand larceny.
