Juspicious Circumstances wlilcli Surround the Case. rho Husband of tho Younger Wo mau Suspected. Tho most shocking double tragedy ove; jhronfcled in this vicinity occurred a Efolliday'fl Cove, a station oa tho Tat Handle railroad in Brooko county, some ,inte botween Monday afternoon and yea ;orday morning The affair was surround 3d with a good doal of mystery, and thi jircu instances pointed to a cold bloodet ,\nd deliberate murder, inBpired by avar ice. Tho victimB were Mra. Drusllla Mc VYha, an old iady 70 years of ago, and hei laughter, Mra. Van 11. Baker, aged 45 Mrs. Baker's husband, Van B. Baker, lef liomo shortly before four o'clock on Monday, taking the train for Hanlin'o station near which his father resides. Ho re turned yeatorday morning about 9 o'clock And at once made known the tragedy t( the neighbors. Intoni-o oxcitoment was occasioned bj the announcement. Squire Lee, the near wat justice of the peace, at,once tooi charge of the premises, and the 8heri? nvwl (Uvnn'ar of Hrnntru nnnnfv wnrei nnm, tnoucd liom Wellsburg, THE llDEBAMU's 8T0RY, Baker saya when ho reached the house hi hia return from Hanlin's Station, hi found the front gate open, a circumstance 30 unusual that it attracted hie attention, Lie went around to the rear of the house, ind found the door open. The bodies of both victims were found on thu lloor of the sitting room, Mra. Baker'e lying partly across hor mother'a. Botb iheir heads were beaten almost to a jelly, md a heavy iron car bolt covered with Liair and blood, with which the deed waa lone, was found near by. A bloody axe ivas alao lying near, and Mrs. McWha'e bead showed that it had been used with ioadly effect, two terrible gashes from it* jdge marking her skull. Tne news of the louble murder sproad rapidly and the vhole village turned out and surrounded he house, eager to hear what they could )f the terrible crime. ROBBERY THE SUPPOSED MOTIVE. Mrs. Druailla McWha, the eldest of the murdered women, was the widow ol Uobert McWha, who has beon some years lead. The younger woman, her daughtei Eliza, lias been married some time to Vac B. Baker. The elder woman possessed considerable money, said to have been invested in Government bonds. Although ot wealthy she is thought to have beer worth $7,000. or $8,000, but even to hei nearest kin and friends wag very reticenl V3 to her.affairs. However, she was coniidered by the inhabitants of the Cove to 30 v/ell off in this world's goods, and il *aa alwayB thought kept large sums oi noney about tho house. After the bodies 3ad been found a search of the house repealed the fact that drawers, cupboards, :runke, closota and in fact every place ivhero money or valuables could be concealed had been broken open and the aouse literally ransacked from top to hot;om, 'i , A trunk belonging to Mr. Baker, he claimed had been broken into and rifled )f $350, and other sums wero taken, but ;ho exact amount ho could not state. Tho residence of Mrs. McWha, where ,he murdered mother and daughter were 'ound ia located in the village, one door iorth of tho brick school house which standB on a little hill at the corner -of the road leading to New Cumberland. The nouco is of frame and two stories high. THREE SUSPICIOUS 21 EN. Baker told of the visit of throe strange coon tothe house the day before. Ono oJ them waa tall and heavy, another shorl \nd chunky, and tho third evidently a German. They said they desired to rent a small piece of Sir. McWha't term to erect a shanty on, to bo used as a aoarding houeo for the accommodation oi the laborers employed on tho railroad tc New Cumberland now being constructed Fhey completed the arrangement, tho rental of the grounds to bo $10 c month, payable in advance. In payraenl )f the lirct monta'a rent they tendered c 150 bill, saying they did not Bupposoehe lould change it. To their surprise she ieclared tor ability to cbango it, and die io, and they loft and have not sinco beei jeon. Inquiry of contractors and othen who ought to be aware if any arrange ment had been made for tho orection of ? boarding house there developed tho fact that nono of them had heard of any suet project. This naturally directed suepijion to theBQ three men, and parties were it once organizid and started in pursuit. SUSPICION AROUSED. Chief of Police Porter 8mitb, of thit city, received a telegram yesterday askinf him to come up to the scene of the tragedy Ho did eo, and began a number of in quiriea whieh Beemed to put a new fac< on tho matter. In response to bis quea tions^ Baker gave a verp thorough descrip' tion of tho three strango mon. This Capt Smith very carefully noted down in ? Qiemorandom book. Then putting the book in his pocket, ho asked Baker tc write out another copy of the description making it as exact as possible. This simplo request had a surprising effect on Baker. Ho at once became ex coedingly agitated, and declined to writ* tho description, saying ho had other mat tera to attend to and would do this a little later. His manner attracted attention, and ho wao farther questioned, his anawera being bo evcBiveand hiB agitation bc noticeable that the Buapicion waa inevitable that .he knew a good doal more o] the tragedy than he had told. OTIIER STUANGB FACTS. Baker's conduct when examined by the Coroner waa also of a character to confirm the auBpiciona that had been aroused, besides which there were a number of circumstances about the murder which re< quired explanation. The blind of the window near where thobodiea were found waa evidently let down after the deed was committed. The old lady had a night cap wrong Bide out on her head, which was pat there after tho murder, as it covered ;he wounds on the head, but Btill had no tiolea on it. Thero waa also evidence that the deed waa committed in the kitchen ind the bodies dragged into the room in which they wore found. ? The bodiea were clothed in their night Ircsaes, but the clothing was not blood itained, while in a tub of water in tho citcben waa found the ordinary day slothes of both the women, literally lrenchcd in gore. A coupling piu waa yiDg near, but had not boen uaed. Drawers and boxea in tho house were >roken onen and ransacked to make it ippear aa if robbery waa the motivo, and dr. Baker claimed that $350 of hia mo* ioy was taken, bjjt whether any of hia aothor-in-Uw'a waa gone he waa unable to nay, a* lier rtTccln had not been examined. Ho also atatoil that when he retained homo he found all tho dooialockod and had to buret ooe open to pain an on- r trance. At another limo bo aald tho door was standing vide open when he reached tho houae. a n*k?n'a abrut dhthjiminbd ox. Ah Btnted above Mrs. McWha was qnlte comfortably provided with thla world'o Rooda, and won undoeetood to have raado er will, leaving all hor posoMelons to her daughter, Mrs. Baker, during the lattor'a llle, and aftor eho died to hor husband. (. Mm. liakur had no children, hor only , child having died when hut a year old.

A warrant was sworn oat, and he was to have been arrested laat evoning. t Thore being no telegraphic communication with the station it is not known here whether this plan was carried out. Oapt. Smith came home on tho evening train. Whon ho loft the arrest had not been made. theory OF THE OFFICIALS, Btiker said that a short timo before he left home on Monday somebody knocked nfc tho door, bat tho family made no re? r sponso. when naked why they did not t answer, he eaid they were tircu and did notwautto. Yet after thin ho wont to Hanlin's Station and walked to his fathor's ' home, iu the country somo distanco. A neighbor did call ut the house Monday . afternoon, but her knock was not onswored. The theory accepted at the Oove ie that 1 Baker committed the awful deed and then robed tho two women iu their night . clothes to make it appear that they had been killed in the night. iJe was about to wash their clothes, when the knock at the door alarmed him, and hastily placing t things in a shnpo which would indicate . robbery, ho fled. ; Of course bo far this is all theory, and ' tho evidenco to point to Baker's guilt so far as known la circumstantial. No effort , will bo spared to find tho three inen on , whom Baker cast suspicion. Last night's Steubonville Herald says: Mrs. McNVba, tho oldest victim, is well r known in this city.

Gray wan very hadly burned by tho flash about the head aud should era; his faco was one onurmous blister and bin llpu were ewollon to about throe times their natural uiz?. Ho f.ayn tlmt he did not have a cigar about tiim, and that as farashe known there was no tiro ahouttho place. There was no tire in tho stove In tho prescription room, standing noar tho door leading to the platform outside, where he was standing to draw the stull'. Tlie elevator runs in a shalt of corrugated iron built over wood, constructed on tho outside ol the rear wnll of tho building. As soon as the explosion occurred this shaft wan tilled with a blaze that burned tlorcely and ohot out through tho openings into every story ol the building. It is a wonder how the building waa saved with so little damage, nono at nil comparatively speaking, being done to it, eepicially as water was scarce in tho vicinity. Tho flames wero hold under control, however,by tho untiring anil fearless oilortsoi John Gitlin,Thomas Hoar and h number of others, until tho arrival of a Cleveland & Pittsburgh freight engine, which stationod itself on the track juat hack of tho tiro and furnished water to the bucket line,which banded the water to Gillin, ho working nearer than any to tho flames. A KAIUIOAD MAN'S KINnKKSS. Much credit is due Mr. Thomas, Superintendent of tbo Cleveland A Pittsburgh Railroad, at Wellavilio, who, on hearing of the fire over the wires, at ones telegraphed to the conductor on the incoming freight train, James McDonald, to run to the town aa quick as poislble and station the onglno near tho lira and furniah water from the tank, and to take his crew of brakemen and help extinguish the (lames. The order was carried oat to the lettor, and had it not beon for tho timely arrival of the engine the entiro block would have undoubtedly been destroyed. Mr. Thomas also telegraphed to Bellairo and Martin's Ferry from Wellsvllle to have the pony yard engines from those placoa run to tho place, which waa done. Aa soon as the iiro broke out Mayor Jankina telephoned to this city for aid, as it aeemed certain that the entire block would be consumed. Tho Niagara engine and reel and Island reel were at once takon over by Chief Banning, but by wondorful work the fire had been extinguished when they reached there. The only persons in the s!pre room at the time of the explosion were Mr. Dent and Mr. Fred Cole, of this city. They 1 were sitting near the entrance and were thrown from thoir seats to outside the door, and the force was so great that glass in the windows was broken. Mr. T. C. JadkinB was at work in a little room up , Btairw near the elevator, that was filled by . tho (lame. His; mustache was acorcbed and his forehead blistered; his escape, like Gray's, was a narrow one. THE DAMAGE AND INSURANCE. The fire burned very quickly, reaching the second story and tue roof, eating a email hole through the latter. The gooda in the second story were much damaged, both by fire and water, thore being a large quantity of matches and other inflammable matter and glassware packed on the duuivco* Tho building 13 owned by Mr. Kirl Oglebay, of Cleveland, who chancod 10 ha here and hastened over at once.
