WATSON MYSTERY UNSOLVED.

The session Of the coroner's jury in
Parkersburg, w. Va, in the investiga-
ton being made into the murder Of
Judge James A. Watson last Friday
night only intensified the mystery.
Last night the authorities were COM
pletely at sea with all Of the suspects
released, every clue exhausted and no
new leads in sight. Some of the evil
dcncc obtained from reputable parties
so fatty contradictcd other facts which
the authorities have been relying upon
as true that they are now completely
mystiticd.
They have not given up in despair,
rs the inquest was last night adjourned
over until today, when more witnesses
are to be examined.
The most sensational move yesterday
was again taking in custody Jessie
Metz, one Of the suspects, formerly ar
rested, but who was released Monday
night, however; she was later released
a second time.
All OF the druggists Of Parkersburg
have been subpoenaed to bring in their
prescription blanks, this being done in
an effort to get trace Of where the
strychnne with which Judge Watson
was poisoned was purchased.

THE recent slaughter Of colored
people in Elkhart and Slocum, Texas.
was both unfortunate unnecessary to
say the least, and meets with gen
eral disapproval even in those parts
of the south where degenerate MEM
bers OF the colored race so often
cause trouble. The killing OF the
negroes is a disgrace to the country
and state, and every man shown to be
connected with the troubles should be
indicted. The shooting OF these blacks
was not a riot or fight, but Il series
OF cold blooded murders and 4 mas
sacre.' With this charge from Judge
Gardner, the Anderson County Court
yesterday opened an investigation into
the race troubles of last week in which
between Is and % negroes were slain.
An investigation by the officials has de-
veloped that many Of the slain negroes
were shot down while fleeing from their
homes with their household goods.

The Charlton Case.

New York, Aug. 3.-Although a
confessed wife murderer, Porter Charl-
ton will probably never be tried for the
crime. The 40 day time limit in Which
Charlton might be eytradited has ex-
PRED and Italy has made no request
for his custody. The decision OF the
State Department that such time oil
the 40 days us was covered by Charl-
tons requested postponemcnts should
be eliminated and that he is still cx-
traditable could not have been known
to Italy, which probably still believes
that the time has expired.
If this is true, there is believed to be
little chance that Italy will put in a
formal claim for the prisoner.
When Charlton was lost in court,
both sides agreed that no action would
be taken looking to his release before
September 90. 1t is probable there
fore that Charlton will remain in jail
until that date and that insanity pro-
ceedings will then be instituted by bis

CITY COUNCIL

There was brief meeting of the
City Council last night. The meeting
had been called by Mayor Paff, in or
der that he might call attention to the
fact that two measures had been passed
at the meeting last Thursday night
without the requisite number Of MEM
beers being present in either board.
One paper which the mayor returned
without his signature was resolution
appropriating s400 for the construction
of a sewer in the square bounded by
King, Cameron, Henry and Fayette
streets. The other was an approprla-
ton Of $500 to aid in entertaining the
visiting tiremen in this city this month.
The mayors objections were sustained,
and the resolution referred to COM
mittee. Another vote was taken on the
appropriation and, the requisite num-
Der of Aldermen and Councilmen being
present, it was made by the unanimous
votes OF both boards. Some other
minor business was transacted.
BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
All the Aldermen were present and
there was no discussion on any OF the
papers which came before them.
COMMON COUNCIL.
Council came to order at STA with
twelve members present.
A message from the Mayor was read
stating that he returned without his
approval the two papers passed at the
last session of council, not because he
opposed them but for the reason of an
insufficient number of members Of the
lower board being present at the time
of their passage.
Mr.. Leadbeater moved that the OBJ
lection OF the Mayor be sustained and
this was done.
The president then submitted para
graph to be inserted in the minutes
explaining the conditions at the pre-
yious meeting and this was agreed to.
Mr.. Birrell then moved that the
resolutions be taken up as new bust
ness.
The resolution appropriating SSOO
for the tiremen's convention was then
passed by vote of II ayes noes 0.
Mr.. Leadbeatcr asked il it would
take - votes to repeal part OF the
resolution providing for a sewer in the
square bounded by King, Cameron,
Henry and Fayette streets. The chair
stated that this was done at special
session but 9 votes would do IN Il
regular session. The matter on motion
OF Mr.. Leadbeatcr went to the COM
mittee on streets.
Permission was granted to Mr.. Nc
Cuen to build a frame bath room in
the rear Of ILL King street and to
Mr.. Baldwin to build frame kitchen
in rear OF POS south St. Asaph street.
