Frazier was a married man, having a wife living in this city. His said. Kate’s, pa rents, who reside in Wheeling, were nat urally opposed to her intimacy with a married man, and finding that it did no good to talk to her, proceeded to harsher measures. But they were such measures as were calculated to rather increase than lessen her affection for Frazier. They chained her in her room; they fed her on bread and water, and finally degraded her by whipping her. This, instead of cur ing her, made her deceitful, and after masing many promises she was set at liberty. The first use she made of her liberty" was to elope with Frazier. The mother of the girt followed them to Bridgeport, telegraphed to Steubenville and had them arrested. They were brought back to Wheeling, and Frazier and his sister were arrested for abducting Miss Faulstick, but as she swore that she was not abducted, but followed Frazier of her own free will, the case was dropped and in a few days they left the city, and were heard of no more by their friends, until the news of the tragedy flxshedover the wires on Friday the 11th inst. John Frazier was a native of Wheel ing, West Virginia, with no trade, and a tendency for dissipation. He had recent cently worked at painting for a German named Hoodel, or Hudel, on Ohio street, Allegheny. He also “run” on the rail road, tried selling vest patterns, &c. In all be failed, and at the time of the trage dy was penniless and evidently desperate. Of|Hte Fraz ; er has seemed dejected, and has been beard to bitterly denounce bis fate, saying, "everything is a’gin me.” Kate Frazier the wretched companion of the would-be murderer, is a young wo man of prepossessing appearance, who, with a bullet bole iu her skull, per sis’- ently reiterates the statement that it was an accident. At the inquest Mrs. Frazier stated that she and “John” were lying aicle by side on the bed, he “fooling” with his pistol, a single barrel breech-loader, and she begging him to “be carefirl.” Daring a brief moment, when her were closed,/he placed the pistol almost,: in contact with her skin, and sent a buh let precisely in the center of her fore head. After the events already narrated, he then re-loaded, and putting the weap on to the precise locality on his own head, succeeded much better, as the ball crash ed deeply into bis brain: Drs. A. & J. Lusk were promptly called after no little trouble, removed the ball from the unfortunate woman’s skull, where it was firmly wedged into the fron tal sinus. Youth and "nerve” have com bined to render Mrs. Frazier’s case a very hopeful one, and the fearful operation of temoviug the bail was borne without a murmur. At last accounts she was free from any grave symptoms, though as yet not out of danger. The body of Frazier was brought to Wheeliag on Saturday nigbt by his sis ter. Miss Faulstick’s latest statement is that Frazier leaves a wife and two chil dren who reside in Zanesville, Ohio. No motive has been assigned for the terrible deed.— Butler Eagle. The Butler Citizen received the follow ing letter from a gentleman of Zaynes ville, which explains itself, as follows : Eds. Citizen.

The new scale provides that for all coal passing over a three-quarter inch screen, $3 50 per hundred biisb< h shad be paid. For all coal passing! Over a screen one and one-half inches! between the bars, $4,00 per hundred bushels must be paid, and two cents additidna 1 for all coal pars ing through the one and one half inch screen, and re-screened over a oae-h»lf inch screen. After this was adopted, a resolution was presented and passed, recommending all miners to adopt the scale as being the practice of the countjy. The “hone of contention” is now the pay required for the nut coal by the mi ners. The operators conceding—as will be seen by referencej to the proceedings of the Coal Exchange, reported in our 10-, cal department—all other points claimed by the miners.
