Murder In MardnSburg.

ululASl III Nheo
The colored people of Martinsburg
were thrown into a state of great ex-
element last Thursday night by an
ARRAY resulting in the murder Of
Jacob Turner. All the parties in
volved are negroes. Jacob Turner
was shot in the head and instantly
killed. Joseph Cook was shot in the
thigh, and his brother, Charles Cook,
was shot in the hand. The parties
accused of the shooting are j. R.
Clifford, a lawyer and publisher OF
the Pioneer Press, an organ OF colored
people, and his son, Paul Clifford,
foreman of the printing'ofice.
The evidence in the case is very
much mixed. From what can be
gathered, however, there was a quar-
rel between a young son of Jacob
Turner and boy of ]. R. ClitIords,
which took place several hours before
the shooting in front Of the printing
office. This was followed by a quar-
rel between Paul Clifford and the
wife of Joseph Cook, in which Cliff
ford called the woman vile names.
She told her husband, and he, in
company with his brother, Charles
Cook, both of whom are walters on
B. & o. dining car, sought Paul Cliff
ford to make him apologize. An
angry dispute resulted, and Clifford
drew a revolver and began shooting.
While he was bombarding his enc
mics, his father, ]. R., Clifford, appear
ed on the scene with either a rife or
shotgun in his hands, and it is al
legged that he also fred several shots.
When the smoke of battle cleared
away, Jacob Turner, who had been
standing near by, but who had not
participated in the fight, was found
lying dead, and both of the Cooks
were winged. The other persons
who had been in the vicinity had
sought refuge in any shelter that
was handy.
When the danger was over, large
crowd gathered. The elder Clifford
was arrested, and later his son, who
was in hiding, was taken in custody,
both being lodged in jail Saturday
they had a hearing before Justice Felix
err. Both fthe Cliffords declared that
the shot that killed Turner was fired by
Paul Clifford, though other witnesses
swore that J. R. Clifford had killed
him. The prisoners put in plea OF
self defense. They were committed
to Jail without bail to await the action
of the grand jury, which meets in reg
ular term on April 18th. Stuart W.
Walker was retained as counsel for
the accused men.

Looking After the Fish.

The Cumberland Daily News says
that John W. Avirett, State game
warden, and N. O. Marsh, biologist
connected with the United States lsh
Commission, took up the investigation
April 6 of dead and dying fish in the
Potomac river. In a boat the two
officials went up the river carefully
inspecting both sides until they
reached Brady's, seven miles up the
river. Between Cumberland and thai
point an almost countless number Of
dead fish were found. Most Of them
were common minnows, but in the
lot were a number Of black b Sc and
suckers. The live fish were found
to be in a supplied condition. They
were easily taken out of the water
with the hands. After returning to
Cumberland Mr.. Marsh performed
sort of a post-mortem examination on
three OF the fish taken from the Poto-
mae. The first to be examined was
female black bass, a foot long. An
examination was also made of male
black bass and black sucker. Both
appeared to be healthy and were
about three years of age. Mr.. Marsh
took the blood from the hearts Of the
fish and placed il in preserving YES
sells. he will take it to his laboratory
in Washington for examination. The
results of his Investigation will be re-
ported to Fish Commissioner George
NJ. Bowers, who in turn will report
to Colonel Avirett. That there is
poisonous substance in the river now
is fact not doubted. Not only has
it been proved by the death of fish in
the Potomac, but in other ways. A
lady of Cumberland has several gold
fish in a vessel and day or two ago
changed the water on them, using
river water, resulting in the death of
all but two of the fnny pets. The
latter were rescued and placed in els
tern water before they had expired.
The incident was related TO Mr.. Marsh
and he stated that there was undoubt.
eddy something wrong with the water
if it had killed goldfish, as they were
extremely hardy.

BABY'S FACE
 MASS 0F SORES
Ears Looked as if They Would Drop Off, Body Entirely Covered with Humor Three Doctors Could Not Cure-ChiId Grew Worse,
CURED BY CUTICURA
 IN TWO WEEKS

Mrs. George J. Steese, of 7oI coburn St., Akron, Ohio, tells in the following letter of another of those remarkable cures of torturing, disfguring skin humors daily made by Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura Oin t m n t, after physicians, and all else had failed: "I feel it my duty to parents of other poor suffering babies to tell you what Cuticura has done for my little daughter. She broke out all over her body with a humor, and we used everything recommended, but without results. I called in three doc tors, they all claimed they could help her, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was mass of sores, and her little face was eaten away, her ears looked as if they would drop of. Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and before had used half of the cake of soap and box of ointment the sores had all healed, and my little ones face and body was as clear as a newborn babes. I would not be without it again if it cost five dollars, instead of seventy-fve cents, which is all it cost us to cure our baby, after spending many dollars on doctors and medicines without any benefit whatever"

A SLAUGHTER OF HORSES
A Wiplng Out of Glanders in nohave
 County.

Dr. J. c. Norton returned yesterday morning from Kingman where he went several days ago to look after the re- ported epidemic of glanders among the horses of the Gold Road freighting teams. He found a very bad situation but it might have been worse and he hopes that it will very shortly be bet ter.
 He inspected a hundred head of horses by physical examination and found fifteen of them infected with glanders and tested by the approved method of veterinarians, the remaining sixty horses in which the physical ex- animation was not safe to rely upon finding nine more infected animals. These twenty four were killed and few others that were under suspicion were placed in quarantine.
 The horse was found that is sup posed to have brought the infection into the country and all but two colts of the fourteen animals owned by the same man, were found to be infected. This was rather severe on the owner but it was a very necessary step to take and there is another way Of look ing at the situation, as illustrated by the experience of another man. He had fourteen head of which three were found to be affected and were destroy ed. The eleven others not being af- fected were thereby removed from the danger of contagion and saved where as in the manner freight horses are necessarily handled they would all have become infected within year. One freighter had ten horses and among them two infected animals were found. The owner supposed that in accordance with the methods that have prevailed in some states and that have often been employed by the govern ment, all his horses would have to be killed as they had been fed with the sick ones. But as the eight horses when | tested were found to be healthy they were saved and removed to new cor rals.
 | Doctor Norton says he regrets that the outbreak of the disease was not discovered and reported several months earlier but as the freighters and citi- zens of that section are all willing and anxious to cooperate in eradicating it he believes it will be overcome with out great difficulty. The twenty-four | horses killed were put to death and burned up on Saturday, all at the same time. It was a pitiful sight to see or
 participate in but it had to be done and some of the horses were so i'll il
 was really a humane act to put them
 out of their misery. They were le6
 up one after another, on railroad
