ming on the boats plying the Kama.
wha for some 20 years past. Jesped
from the quarter deck of the Cal.
derwood Sunday night about IL
O'Clock and was drowned.
1t is said by those who were in
his company on the boat that he
had been drinking heavily for the
last two weeks and that he was suf.
fering from a slight delerium, when
he made the leap into the river.
The boat was passing Big Hur-
rioane creek, about 20 miles above
Point Pleasant, when Voirs became
violently insane and began to raise
a disturbance on the hurricane
deck. and upon the Captains rem
%onstrating with him. he rushed
msdly to the edge of the deck and
jumped into the river. The boat
was stopped Immediately and yawls
were sent out to rescue him, but no
traces of his body could be found.
Upon reaching Charleston the
Captain of the Calderwood notified
the government inspector and the
justices of the peace, and a search
was again made yesterday, but the
body has not been found yet.
although a hard drinking
man, was considered one of the
best pilots on the Kanavha river,
and is we'll known among river
men

SHOT HIS WIFE.
Eugene sayre Follows His Wife
From Alfalfa, o., and Makes
an Attemut on Her Life

an Attempt on Her Life.
Last Saturday evening between
dusk an dark Mrs. Eugene Sayre
and a SON nearly 81 years of age,
who are visiting her brother, Mr..
d. s. Van Matre, of the Lower
Extension. were in the yard, hav-
ing just finished milking, when a
man, then unknown to them, came
around the house. AS Mrs. Sayre
stepped from the ground to the
porch, milk bucket in hand, the
intruder muttered something and
fired. She ran into the kitchen,
but thinking of her sons safety,
instantly turned and when at the
door a second shot was fred. In
the mean time her son had seized
the man (who was really hisfather)
from behind, but not in time to
prevent the second shot. The boy
then threw him to the ground aud
held him until assistance came. 1t
was then found that Mrs. Sayre
was wounded in the arm, the ball
passing through the feshy part of
the arm above the elbow between
the bone and the muscles, the d.
rection of the bullet being almost
straight toward the heart. The
wound is painful but not danger
GUS.
The revolver is a new. one, as
though recently bought for the
purpose for which it was used.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sayre live at Atha-
liza, Ohio, some eight or ten miles
above Guyandotte. They have had
occasional troubles for several
years, and a few weeks ago she
became alarmed for her safety and
came with her children to this
place to avoid him.
That Sayre- contemplated bodily
injury to his wife is apparent
from the following facts: On the
morning of the evening that the
shooting was done, he wrote his
wife from Portsmouth saying that
he vas going South, them came 10
this city on the same train as the
letter. He invariably wore a mus
tache and g%oatee.;. he is now clean
shaven. 1t is said he always wore
a dark suit and hat, he now wears
a light suit and cap. So success
fully had he disguised himself that
his wife and SON did not recognize
him in the paling light though
but a few feet away.
Monday he waived examination
and in default of $1,000 was re-
turned to Jail.

A GLIMPSE OF SLAVERY DAYS.
Long Years Ago The Parties Were
slaves of Thornburg Family.

Slaves of Thornburg Family.
Portsmouth, Ohio, Sept. Is
The partition case of Judson Whit
field VS.. Martha Whitfield and
others, occupied the attention of
common pleas court Thursday
morning.
The hearing in the case brought
to the attention of the spectators
the social conditions which pre-
vailed during slavery days among
the coIored people.
Harvey Whitfield, who was for
many years a respected negro of
Portsmouth, died about three years
ago leaving several valuable pieces
of property ON Seventh street.
Judson Whitfield, who up to the
filing of this suit was considered
his grandson, brought suit to sell
the property SO a distribution
could be made among the alleged
heirs.
This is opposed by Mrs. Grant
Metcalfe, who now claims to be the
sole heir of Whitfield, claiming
that Selma Whitfield Swan, the
mother of Judson Whitfield, was
not in reality his daughter.
Mrs. Whitfield, the widow of the
deceased, was placed on the stand
and she proved a very entertaining
witness in her description of the
conditions prevailing before sla-
very was abolished.
She said that she was a slave in
the family of Absolom Thornburg,
a wealthy citizen of Barboursville,
w. Va, and had the entire conf
dence of her master and mistress
and had practically charge of the
household.
Harvey Whitfield was the prop
erty of a man named Hovey and
was employed in conducting a
truck farm near Barboursville.
There vas opposition between the
owners of the two in reference to
their marriage and the three chill
dren were born before the cere-
money was performed.
Mrs. Whitfield. in a very dra.
matio manner. told how she was
the servant of a daughter of her
master and they had become very
closely affiliated. The daughter
of the Thornburg household was
married but she exacted a promise
from her parents that Martha
should have just as great a we'd
ding.
"And it was as great" said the
venesable colored woman, her eyes
sparkling as she recalled the scene.
There were over one hundred
there, and white folks as many as
colored. ALI the Thornburgs and
their relations were there, and il
you go up in Virginia they will
tell you all about it to this day Yes,
there's no one around this town
has had such a wedding"
Mrs. Whitfield acknowledged
that three children were born out
of wedlock but contended they
were all the children of her late
husband.
