HE WILL EVER REJOIN HIS

TERRA ALTA, w. Va, November

added to the Salt Lick murder this af-
ternoon when j. Wesley Beatty, who
shot and killed David A Nine, Tues
day morning last babe his family a
fearful goodbye, forever. Constable
Zack FELTON,, who held the warrant for
Beatty learned that the hunted man
had returned home and with a couple
OF deputies went to the farm residence
to arrest him. Beatty's revolver was
found down stairs, and after a search
of the premises Beatty himself was
found secreted in the garrett. He sur
rendered to the officials. without a
struggle or murmur. Before leaving
home he arranged all his business at
fairs, and made provision for the flu
ture of his family
When the time came to say farewell
IT, his wife, his two married daugh-
tiers and the son remaining at home,
Beatty broke down completely and
wept. He told the family he was bid
ding them goodbye forever. The fam
lily parted with him in great grief. So
heart-rending in fact that strong men
wept in sympathy. Just before leaving
the house Beatty gave his son fine
watch which he carried and a knife,
telling him that he would never have
use for them more The trip from
Beatty's farm to Terra Alta was
made afoot through deep mud and
swirling snow Arriving here Beatty
was taken before Squire John V. Hill
and upon the warrant being read Beat
ty waived examination and was COM
mitted to the Kingwood Jail to await
the action of the grand jury The
prisoner was in a deplorable state of
detection, scarcely recognizing his old
friends and having little to say TO any
one.

An EFFORT 70 HOLD UP
CASTELLANEy INCOME.
A LONDON CREDITOR SECURES A
TEMPORARY INJUNCTION IN
NEW YORK.
INCOME IS 100000 A YEAR.
JUDGE DILLON EXPLAINS THE
STANDING OF HEIRS UNDER
JAY GOULD'S WILL.

NEW YORK, November 26.-Samuel
Cntermyer applied to and obtained to-
day from Justice Fitzgerald sitting in
the Supreme Court, an Injunction order
returnable on Monday next, against the
Count and Countess Castellane, and
George Gould, Edwin Could, Howard
Gould and Helen NJ. Gould, as trustees
| under the will of Jay Gould, restraining
item from paying to Anna Gould,
Countess de Castellane, any part of
the estate in the hands of the trustees,
or from applying any part of the trust
fund to the debts of Anna Gould or to
her support or that of her children un-
til the further direction of the court.
The plaintiff in the suit is Anton j.
D;ttmar, who sues as assignee of Asher
Wertheimer, London bric-a-brac
ceaier.
The complaint which is long print
ed document, contains copies of drafts
Drawn by Wertheimer and accepted in
writing by the Count and Countess de
Castellane, amounting to upwards of
| 1885 900, of which s2S5,OO and upwards
are past due.
l. is alleged that Anna Gould has s1S,-
600 600 held in trust for her by her
brothers and sister and that her in
come is about 100000.
Judge Dillon, counsel for the Gould
family, made the following statement
concerning the suit:
"The Countess de Castellane is not
entitled to any part of the capital or
principal sum of the estate of her
father, as the statement of the plain
tiff seems to imply. The will of Mr..
Gould provides, in substance, that the
income is to be a trust fund in the
hands of the trustees, to be appointed
for the support and maintenance of
his daughter and that she cannot an
ticipate or dispose of any part of that
income until it is actually received by
her, and that until so received it shall
not be liable for her debts or those of
her husband; and undoubtedly the
trustees will feel it to be their duty to
have this provision in the will carried
out in its full extent or as far as pos
sible. She has no control nor has the
court any control over the principal
sum, which goes to her children after
her death.
In the following statement it is
said the creditors claimed that the
proceedings in Paris whereby George
Gould was appointed guardian for his
sister, that the idea Of the Gould fam
lily was to get possession of the in
come of the Countess de Castellane
and force her creditors to settle on
their own terms This is obviously a
mistake, as the only effect of that pro-
ceeding is to prevent her from in
curing fresh obligations without the
consent of her brother"

A POSITIVE DENIAL.

RICHMOND, Va, November 20
The Chesapeake & Ohio officials here
positively deny the story of passen-
ger train wreck at Greebrier river
bridge and all stories of any Joss Of
life on the line.
The Dispatch had special after
midnight from Ronceverte, which is
within a few miles of every point at
which the Chesapeake & Ohio crosses
the Greenbrier. The special reports a
freight wreck with no loss of life at
Allegheny, and mentions delay of pas
senger trains in such way as to dis
credit entirely the passenger wreck
report.
At / a. M, the Chesapeake & Ohio
was working direct to Hinton and re-
affirm their denial.

THE NEWS IN CINCINNATI.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, November
ga special to the Commercial
Tribune from Charleston, w. Va,
says:
1T is reported here that Ches-
apeake & Ohio railway train went
through the Greenbrier river bridge
which had been damaged by the
prevailing floods. 1t is supposed
that there were about 200 people
on the train and that all were lost.
All wires are down at and near the
crossing of this river, and it is i'm
possible to get any sort of confrma-
ton of the disaster. Even the rail-
road officials are unable to secure
communication with points on eth
er side of the river"
There has been great apprehen-
son tonight over a report about a
Chesapeake & Ohio passenger train
going through the Greenbrier river
bridge near Hinton, w. Va. All
three wires on that line are down
ard it is impossible to reach Green
brier river or any points near it.
Messages have been sent to New
York and elsewhere and that place
cannot be reached from either the
east or the west. Many messages
have been sent by those who have
friends on that road to-day as it
was not known what train, if any,
went through the bridge but no
response to any messages have been
received and they are accepted only
subject to delay. Charles B. Ryan,
assistant general passenger agent
Of the Chesapeake & Ohio railway,
is here tonight and he discredits
the story entirely. He said there
was a very bad landslide near one
of the Greenbrier river bridges not
far from White Sulphur Springs
and it has compelled them to trans
Ter passengers during the day ow-
il to the high water in the river.
NJ attempt to transfer passengers
was made tonight and two trains
that left here to-day are being held
over night at Anderson, west of
White Sulphur Springs, and it is
critic likely that trains are also be-
lpg held on the other side OF White
Sulphur Springs.
There are three bridges on this
line over GreenDrier river and the
reports don't indicate at which
bridge the accident occurred so
that il is quite likely that the re-
ports were started because of the
landslide near White Sulphur
Springs and the fact that trains
were due both east and west of that
point were not heard from on ae-
count of the wires being down. The
trains have been arriving and de-
parting in Cincinnati on time with
the single exception Of the eastern
express, due lis evening at s
o'clock which did not arrive until s

DENVER, Colo, November 26-The
Rocky Mountain News to-day prints the
reply of Sheriff Freeman, OF Lincoln
county to the letter of District Attor-
ney McAllister, of Colorado Springs,
concerning the prosecution of the per-
sons who lynched Preston Porter at
Limon. Colo, recently. After alleging
that he was influenced into taking Por-
ter from Denver to Limon by the assur-
ance of leading citizens of Lincoln
county that he would be allowed to
pass through Limon unmolested to
Hugo, where he would be permitted to
place Porter in the county jail, Sheriff
Freeman declares that it would be i'm
possible OF get a jury in Lincoln or
adjoining counties that would convict
any one charged with participation in
the burning of Porter.

THE STORY DENIED.

WASHINGTON, November 26.-The
Post has received a message from the
railroad telegraph operator at Hinton
saying there is no foundation for the
story of a wreck on the Chesapeake

According to specials received by the

wrecked is one OF the west-bound
