naska William mine of the Dodson Coal

Galloway kept a diary on sheet iron with
a piece of chalk and subsisted on the oil
in the lamp until it was exhausted. The
diary is now being deciphered.
Galloway wrote on a plank on the side
of the chute in which the fall occurred
the following words:

(Signed) WILLIAM GALLOWAY"
This was a clue to his Whereabouts and
the rescuer worked more diligently than
ever and before the body was found these
words were discovered written on sheet
iron on a brattice door. They were adj
dressed to his wife:

FOUND HER NOT GUILTY.

Miss Martha Daniels Set Free After
Being Charged With the Murder of
Mrs. Belle Collins.
Special 10 the ReaisteS.
WILLIAMSON, w. Va, January 10.
Miss Martha Daniels, the charming
little Kentucky girl arrested at Ironton,
Ohio, and indicted in this county for
the murder of Mrs. Belle Collins, which
occurred last November, is tonight sur
rounded by her friends at her home near
here in Kentucky, after having been in
carcerated in Jail for almost three
months.
Her trial was concluded to-day and
the jury after a few minutes delibera-
ton, found her mot guilty"
Mrs. Collins was carved to death
with a butcher knife, and as Miss Dan
iels, who lived on the opposite side Of
the river, was her only known enemy
and had at one time threatened her life,
suspicion naturally rested on her.
The sudden disappearance from home
of Miss Daniels, and the statement of
two little children of the murdered wo-
man that Miss Daniels had murdered
their mother, left but little doubt that
she was the guilty party, but at the
trial an alibi was proven, and cheers
went up in the court room when the
verdict of the jury vas read. This
ooce hoe attracted wide attention in the
southern part of the State.

MARRIED 70 A B|GAA|ST..
A GREAT SENSATION CREATED
IN MARIETTA, OVER THE AS
FOUNDING DISCOVERY
That Della Ranger, q Beautiful and
Highly Respected Young Lady, Ia
Married to q Man Who Has n
Wife mt Coshocton, Ohio-The Girl
Sticks to Her Husband in Spite of
the Revelation.

Special to the Register.
MARIETTA Ohio, January 1S.-A
great sensation has been created here
by the discovery that Della Ranger, q
beautiful and highly respected young
lady of this city, has been tricked into
a marriage with Leslie Denman, who
has a wife living at CoshoctoR, Ohio.
Denman came to Marietta a year ago
September last, claiming to represent a
novelty advertising firm, of Coshocton.
He met and courted Della Ranger, n
Of the most strikingly beautiful young
girls of the city, and of eminent re-
~speotability. She returned his affection.
but her father, Fremont Ranger, saw
beneath the polished exterior Of her
sutton and forbade the match. An
elopement followed. The couple were
married by a justice of the peace in
Detroit, Michigan, under fictitious
names. The wedding was kept secret
until the brides father died, a few
months ago. The deceived girl evil
IDENTIFY suspected something was not
right when he wanted the incorrect
names on the marriage certificate, and
her c~oncealment of it excited comment
among her friends. Denman allayed
her fears, however, and ON the claim
that he was travelling, disarmed sus-
picion until now. 1t is discovered that
he has a wife now living with his
mother in Coshocton, and that he was
married fifteen years ago. The news
came as a great shock to Miss Ran
gers family and friends here. 1t ap-
pears, however, that she clings to Den>
man in the face of all, as she left hast
lily yesterday in response to a telegram
notifying her to join him at Chicago.
The sensation is Of equal extent at
C~oshocton, where Denman's wife and
mother are highly respected. The dis
covery OF his duel roll was made by
accident by a Coshocton young lady,
who was visiting friends here, and
heard Miss Ranger spoken OF as Dem
mans wife. No news has been received
from her since she left for Chicago.

border regiment, proceeded north
westerly to Springfield. The position
had previously been thoroughly recon-
noitered. A few miles outside OF
Frere, Lord Dundonald passed targets
erected by the Beers to represent a
force advancing in skirmishing order.
Evidently the Beers had been firing
at these from the adjacent hills.
Lord Dundonald pushed on and as
the main column advanced it was not
fled that Springfield was not occupied
by Beers and that the fifth brigade
had taken possession. The British
transport extended for several miles
and comprised some 5000 vehicles.
The mounted brigade advanced
rapidly, not meeting with any opposi-
ton. The British scouts had minute
ly searched all suspicious country, but
there was no sign of the enemy.
The column advanced to Mount
Alice, facing the enemy's mounted for
tress.
The Beers had been at Potgieter's
drift the previous day, but a body of
South African horse swan the stream
under fire and brought over the pont
from the Beers side.
The Beers were evidently surprised
at the appearance of the British on
the scene. A long camp could be seen
on Tugela Heights, facing Mt. Alice,
but the enemy quickly struck camp
and cleared off into the mountains. A
buggy was seen leaving for the hills
on the right, presumably with Gen.
Joubert or some other commandant.
Gen. Butler took up his quarters in a
Observation-Disclosures farm house belong
ing to Martinus Prectorus. who had
disappeared.
On Friday a loud explosion was
heard. Subsequently it was found that
the Beers had destroyed a bridge un-
der construction seven miles above
P0tgieter'S Drift.
Gen. Butler has issued a spirited ap-
peal and instruction to the forces, be-
ginning:
I'VE are going to the relief of our
comrades in Ladysmith. There will
be no turning back"
The order proceeds to advise the
men, when they charge, regarding the
conditions under which they should
receive the surrender of any of them.
1t also warns them that the Beers are
treacherous in the use of the white
flag.
This order has been received with
enthusiasm in every camp.
The march was very trying, but the
troops are now encamped amid very
pleasant surroundings. Their health
is excellent and all are confident.

NEW YORK, January 1S.-Assistant
D1strict-Attorney Osborne announced
to-day that the prosecution tomorrow
would close it's case against Roland B.
Molineux, charged with the murder Of
Mrs. Katherine j. Adams.
The prosecution to-day introduced
two more handwriting experts, who
testified briefly that the handwriting
of the Cornish" and Barnet letters
and of the poison package address was
identical with that of Molineux. Re-
corder Golf ruled that the prosecution
would not be permitted to call any
more handwriting experts, and one OF
the jurors expressed his WEAKNESS Of
expert testimony.
The most important testimony to-
day related to the poisoning of H. C.
Barnet, and while Mr.. Osborne was al
ways checked by the court when he
asked his witnesses questions that con-
nected Molineux with the Barnet case,
still the prosecution scored effectively.
James H. Hudson, a salesman, for
merly associated with H. c. Barnet,
testified that late in the summer of
1898, shortly before Barnet's death,
Barnet received by mail a package
about n and a half inches long and
high in a light colored wrapper. Wit
ness continued: 81 saw Mr.. Barnet
open the package. l saw him take out
the contents. AS I recollect it, there
vas some cotton, a smaller box inside,
and in it were some pink or red cap
sules."
How does all this become releyant?'
asked the Recorder.
'IH show you," said Osborn, chat
Barnet received things anonymously
through the mails and this defendant
bought such remedies IS have just besl
named, in the name of Barnet"
Edmund Barnet, brother OF H. G..
Barnet, testified that among the latter's
effects were a small white box contain
ing fifteen pink pills and also a box con
tanning a salve.
DR.. Robert Book, a homeopathic
physician of forty years experience,
testified that small doses of cyanide of
mercury often repeated, would produce
all the symptoms of ~diphtheria. Bar
net, it will be remembered, was treat
ed for diphtheria.
Other witnesses to-day were Vincent
G. Hammil, president of a private rem
edy agency, who treated by mail the
bogus H. G.. Barnet, alleged by the
prosecution to be Molineux, for impot-
ency, and who testified to his cores
pondence with the so-called Barnet.
William o. Inglis, a newspaper report
er, identified a new Barnet" letter to
a western medical house, asking for a
| prescription. The handwriting is iden-
teal with that of the other Barnet
| letters.
