Vain Efforts to Clear Up Mystery Of
Medley Murders.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CUMBERLAND, Md, October 23.-In-
formation this evening from Medley. w.
Va. scene of the tragedy cary yesterday
morning in which Mrs. Edward Reid,
widow, and her son. Coker Reid, aged
twenty-one years, lost their lives, states
that bloodhounds arrived from the pen
itentiary at Moundsville this morning,
but the only scent they would follow was
between the house and the barn. They
would go no farther and they were taken
away Members of the Reid family have
arrived and the charred bodies of the two
victims will be buried tomorrow.
The theory is that both were struck in
the head with a stonemason's ak, which
was found in the ruins near the two
bodies. This AK was kept at the barn,
and it was evidently used on Mrs. Reid
after the son had been struck at the barn
and dragged to the house, which the trail
of blood shows. Last Thursday Mrs.
Reid was in Medley, where she met the
sheriff and paid her taxes, rendering
him the check which was paid her for
the cattle she sold a few days before.
She received in change about $500 in cash
and checks.
The inauest this morning threw no
new light on the mystery.

Russia Considering Sale.
Russian statesmen are seriously con-
sidering the sale of the Russian railroad
interests in that territory. The Japa-
nese proposal to purchase the portion Of
the railroads remaining in Russia s
hands might be entertained by Russia,
owing to international complications, but,
although it is understood that Japan is
ready to make tangible offers, the Rus
sian government is disposed to look with
favor on proposition for the sale of
the Manchurian lines either to China.
financed by an international syndicate.
or to such syndicate direct.
1t is authOritatively stated that over
lures for the purchase of the lines were
made during the summer by a group Of
financiers with which the late E. II. Har-
riman was connected. but these have
lapsed since Mr.. Harriman's death. The
railroads which may be sold include both
the main line and the southern branch
from Harbin to Port Arthur.
Franchise Runs Thirty Years.
The Russian title runs for about thirty
years, after which II passes to China. Only
Chinas lack of finances prevented earlier
negotiations for the transfer of the title,
before its expiration. both Russia and
China having agreed to this in principle
The placing of the Northern Man
churian railroad system under interna-

would virtually create buffer state to
safeguard the political integrity of Man

assert herself.
The meeting at Harbin was arranged
when NJ. Kokovsoff was unable to &C
cept an invitation to go to Japan.
