JEALOUSY IN The POISON CASE.
Two Wen are Under Suspicion Of hay-
lug Killed Burdette

The Grafton authorities are &C
eumulating evidence in regard to the
death of Fred G. Burdette which will
enable them to make two or more ar
rests Immediately after the opinion
of poisoning, entertained by the
physicians, are verified by the anal
ysis of the stomach. The case re
semhles the Molineaux Cornish
Adams affair in New York. Tive
men are under suspicion, and jeal
ousy, love and revenge are the al
legged prime factors.
Burdette was a jolly and popular
bachelor, about 81 years old. Out
side of few politicians, who became
emhittered during the recent cam
paign, neither of whom would have
done him personal injury, he is not
known to have had an enemy on
earth.

TRAMP PROBLEM.
Uniontown Authorities having merry
War over the Question.

UNloNTowN, March 6.--The local
and county authorities are engaged
in heated dispute over the question
of sending "hoboes' to Jail to be kept
at the expense of the county. Some
of the justices of the county, it seems.
have over done the business, ii is al
legged, for the fees there is in it. The
county commissioners have notified
the sheriff not to receive any more
tramps, as they will not pay for their
board while in Jail. Sheriff McCor-
mick contends that he has no discre
ton in the matter, but must receive
all prisoners duly committed by
proper magistrates. In defense OF
their position the justices point to
the act of 1876, which imposes a fine
on all officers who neglect their duty
in permitting tramps to run at large.
Thus the dispute stands, and all
sides are busy hunting up law to
justify their course.

.THR COAL DEAL.
The Big Transaction IL now an
Accomplished Fact.

Money Has Been , "a Over And the
Deeds Made fer tie CeaI-IarKest
Transaction Of the S ind ever Made II
the Stated. How ] Fleming repre-.
sents the Parties lkiag the Sale
Small Quantity o: ,etail Made Psb-
lic-A Very Inters ing Prediction.
The big coal deal is now an ac-
tuality. The plans OF those who have
been working so long and so hard ON
the deal have been crowned with
success and they are feeling very
jubilant over the outcome.
This is the first official publica-
ton of the fact that the sale has
been made and was authorized to-
day by the gentlemen who have ar
ranged the deal They do not wish
to have their names made public nor
to publish the names of the pur-
chasers. The latter are eastern cap
italists who have taken up the idea
that this state is the coming state
for coal operations.
The property which has changed
hands amounts to between seventeen
and twenty thousand acres. This
lies ON the west side of the river and
takes in practically all the land on
that side of the river 1t fronts ON
the river for eight miles and at all
places is easily worked and easy to
get out either by rail or water.
1t is the largest purchase Of coal
land ever made in the state and the
amount Of money brought into the
county by means of it is very large
but just how large the agents will
not state. The farmers who have
received this will put a great deal Of
1t into circulation aud the resultant
stir in money circles is bound to do
us all good.
A. Howard Fleming Of Fairmont
has acted as the attorney of the 10.
cal and Fairmont men who have had
control of the option and arranged
the sale. He went East afex days
ago and consummated the sale. The
money has been paid over and the
deeds delivered.
1t is the supposition that the
tract will be developed and that at
no distant day but nothing definite
is known along this line. However
wide awake business men would
hardly put their money into the
ground to lie there very long idle.
When the development does come
there will be the livliest times
that this country has ever seen.
In this connection the prediction
of a gentleman who has been on the
inside of the deal may be interest
ing He says that in two years the
west side of the river will be lined
with coke ovens and that there will
be railroad in operation over there
We hope that he may know what he
is talking about.

SUDDEN DEATH.
Fish Law violator Loses His Head-In
Preston County.

The terrible death of Lloyd Miller,
Of Amboy, who was instantly killed
last Friday evening on Cheat River
above Rowlesburg while dynamiting
fish, is another awful warning to peo-
pie who will persist In handling dan
gerous explosives in a careless manner.
We are informed that he was lighting
the fuse OF dynamite cartridge by
holding it up in his hands and light
ing it from his pipe, while smoking
same. This was criminal carelessness
as might have been expected the fool
ish man got his head blown of. In
addition to his criminal carelessness,
he was violating the law also and his
death is sad blow to his wife and a
house full of hildreu.-Argus.

"Uncle josh Spruceby :"

Wheeling News Of Sd inst.
A drama Of rural New England life
Is " Uncle Josh Spruceby," opened a
half weeks engagement to crowded
house at the Grand last night. It
tells an interesting story Of the city
and country, exposing the dangerous
glamor which the one possesses for
the ambitious resident of the other.
Its characters are taken from real
life, and are not overdrawn. 1t con-
talns many pathetic scenes, but 1t
is essentially comedy, inasmuch as
the laughs are much more frequent
than the tears. The company is cap
able and we'll balanced. 1t includes
a lumber of talented actors and &C.
tresses who enliyen the production by
speciaities introduced during the ac-
tion of the play and which were last
night received with tremendous APP
plause. The company's own brass
band and orchestra rendered concert
selections on the streets, and gave
very pleasing renditions of popular
selections between the acts. ."Uncle
Josh Sprucebys will remain on the
boards for three more performances.
