aTROCi0US MURDER
Unearthed by the Finding of a Body in
the Basement of a Business Block
suspect Arrested ut Charleston.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, August s.
This city is all torn up over the
finding of the body of dead man
in the basement Of the Lallance
block, within a hundred feet of the
most prominent corner of the city
The body had been covered up for
probably three months, and was in
a good state of preservation, exeep.
ting the head, which was literally
mashed to pieces.
Last fall two Grecians, Peter
Stanton and George Politz, leased a
room in the Lallance block, and
opened confectionery. The man
Stanton disappeared, aud Politz con
tinued the business till two weeks
ago, when he was shut up for debt.
He remained here until yesterday,
when he left for Charleston. This
afternoon the body was found, and
it is believed to be that of Stanton
Politz was arrested at Charleston
and will be brought back tomorrow
morning. A coroner's jury has been
Investigating the case and it is said
to be understood that the evidence
thus far will warrant the finding of
verdict that the body is that of
Stanton, and that the man came to
his death at the hands of Politz
Mrs Smith testified that she
heard man scream and heard other
evidences of struggle in the room
under where she slept, where the
Grecians slept, about o'clock on
the morning that Stanton is said to
have disappeared. The murder is
one of the post atrocious and brutal
ever committed here and nothing
will be left undone to probe the
mystery to the bottom.

Tremendous Outpouring of the DEM
ocrats-Temporary Organization and
Address by Hon. John H. Holt
Work of Convention.
Special to the New Dominion.
MARTINsBURG, w. Va, II M.-The
Gown is filled to overlooking with
Democrats from all over the dis
triet. Monongalia is well represent
ed. They are all full of enthusiasm
and confidence.
Martinsburg has extended royal
welcome to the delegates.
Forest w Brown, of Jefferson
county, was chosen as temporary
chairman of the convention which
was called to order at eleven o'clock.
j. E. Mccoy, of Taylor county, was
selected as temporary secretary.
A tremendous crowd was out to
attend the session and hear the adj
dress of Hon. John Fl. Holt, candi-
date for governor. He delivered an
address which was very well received
and which aroused tremendous en-
thusiasm.
The Situation has rapidly cleared
up since all of the delegations have
arrived and Col Thomas B. Davis
will be nominated by reclamation.
All other candidates have withdrawn
in his favor.
He is expected to add great
strength to the ticket IN this section
Of the district and along the line of
the West Virginia Central His
boomers have taken everything in
sight.
The Democrats OF the Second Dis
trict convened at Martinsburg to-day
for the purpose of nominating a can
didate for Congress to oppose A. G.
Dayton. The attendance is very large
and the Democrats who are there are
full of confidence in the outcome.
Reports from various sections of the
district show there are wide diver
gence of opinion as to available candi-
dates and large number of men are
being considered.
Aside from Hon. Stuart Walker,
Hon. Forest w. Brown, Hon. VIM. G..
Brown, Hon. Thomas B. Davis aud
others who have been mentioned there
isa strong drift toward Hon. John T.
McGraw for a second race. A special
from Parkersburg is interesting in
this connection.
From all that could be gathered
from the democrats of the Second dis
trict who were here at the State Com
mittee meeting, there is disposition
to Col. John It. McGraw for congress
at the Martinsburg convention.
Marion county is still for Mckinney
and it may be that they will ask that
he be nominated but it is not thought
very probable that they will. Their
second choice is Hon. Wood Daley,
The latter is also very popular in
Monongalia and would make a strong
man to name.
BRANCH HEADQUARTERS.
PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Aug. s.
The Democratic state executive COM
mittee adjourned late last night, after
hearing the most encouraging reports
from all sections of the state and dis

tiers at Charleston is to be establish

w. e. r. Byrne of the state COM
mittee, will be placed in charge Of the

MARIETTA, O., March 19.-Corbin
Little, who was on trial to-day on a
lunacy charge for killing his brother
in-law, Wesley Springer, in cold
blood, rebelled while being taken from
the Court House to the jail, and it re-
quired the efforts of five men to lock
him up. His examination developed
some sensational features. AS a mo-
tive for the killing, it was shown that
Springer had compelled Little to marry
Springer's sister when she was in a
delicate condition.
The defense proved that Little's
mother was insane for ten years, his
uncle for sixteen years, his grand
mother at different periods, and also
his great-grandmother and great
grandfather, the latter of whom COM
mitted suicide by hanging himself.

A GREAT RAILROAD ROOM.

Three years ago in its report for
1897 the Interstate Commerce Commits
zion stated that the aggregated rail-
road mileage on June 20 of that year
was 1874, 42S.47 miles an increase for the
year of 1888 miles. The 1897 re-
port commented OF the subject in
these words:
This increase is less than for any year
and in the per cent. of increase as COM
pared with the previous year. In mary
States railway construction seems to have
been practically abandoned. Especially IS
his noticeable in the more populous DIS
tricts of the country--a result which is
due not entirely to the general CONNER
cial depression, but to the marve.ous in
crease in electric railways for suburban
and short-distance traffic. The influence
of electric construction upon steam trans
portation is noted in certain reports of
State railway commissioners for the cur
rent year.
There are but five States in which rail-
way construction exceeds 100 miles. . .
II will be observed, too, that, excepting
Michigan. the increase in railway mileage
lies in those territories where the number
