CHARGES MADE OF
GROSS CORRUPTION
Member of State Legislature Causes
Sensation and Demands
Investigation.

Charleston, w. Va, Jan. 22.-Dele-
gate Moore, a republican delegate
from Marshall county, caused SEN
sation in the house of delegates yes
terday, when he charged gross mis-
management and corruption at the
state penitentiary. He declared the
bookkeeping was at haphazard, and
charged that itemized expenses were
hidden and funds diverted ana COM
plicatlons puprposely made.
Out of courtesy to the joint legis-
latiye committee formed by the prev
ious legislature to investigate the
state institutions, which has not made
it's report, Moore's resolution calling
for an investigation OF the peniten-
tiary was tabled
Among unpreiudiced observers here
the sentiment is strong that Delegae
AIoore's attack upon John A. Bloyd
and the officials at the state peniten.
tiary was launched more through par
tisan politics than otherwise
There have been fractional differ
ences in Marshal county politics
for long time, with Moore on one
side ana Bloyd on the other. When A
C. Scherr beat w H. Hearne in the
primaries last spring this feeling be
came acute and this outburst is look
ed upon as manifestation of it.

From The World of Saturday:

From The World of Saturday:
Mrs. Hettie Adams Hofheins, be-
loved wife OF Rev DR.. John A. Hoff-
helms. pastor of Christ Reformed
church, died suddenly and unexpected
ly Friday evening at ten minutes be-
fore seven o'clock OF heart failure,
aged 63 years, 8 months and 4 days.
She had been in illhealth for the past
year and two weeks ago took her bed,
suffering with severe attack of bron-
chial affection. Her condition at no
time, however. was regarded as alarm
ing. Yesterday she seemed brighter
than fer several days. and only short
time before she died DR. Hoffheins
was reading an evening paper to her.
Suddenly she was seized with sink
ing spell and complained OF acute
pains in the region OF her heart. A
physician was hastily summoned but
she expired before his arrival, to the
inexpressibe grief OF her devoted
family The news of her sudden death
came as a great shock to this COM
mundty where she was universally
esteemed.
Mrs. Hoffheins is survived by her
husband and two children: Mr. w. E..
Hoffheins, editor and publisher of The
Evening World. and Miss Mary Vir-
ginia at home. She was the last OF
her family.
A sad circumstance connected with
the death of Mrs Hoffheins was the
absence from home of her son at the
time of her demise. He spent this
week at Charleston and left there
last evening half an hour before his
mothers death, arriving home this
morning at Ills o'clock.
Mrs. Hoffheins was the daughter Of
William and Mary Adams and was
born near Carlisle, Cumberland coun-
ty, Pa. she was married May 13,1S69
at the family home. Her husband hav-
ing been called to the pastorate Of the
Refor-ned church in Martinsburg
they removed here in November 1875
and have since resided in this city,
period Of thirty-three years, Mrs.
Hoffheins was model wife and
mother and an ideal pastors help
mate. She possessed a charm o. man
ner md kindly and sympathetic ma
cure that won the admiration OF all
who met her, but especially those
who enjoyed the privilege of her
friendship. She was greatly beloved
by the Reformed congregation and
her sudden taiking-off has filled the
members with profound sorrow.
She was active in the work Of the
church and Sunday school, 1t is a
noteworthy fact that she taught the
young ladies bible class in the Sun
day school for years and even up to
the time of her last illness.
