MORRISTOWN.

notwithstanding harvest has begun
in earnest, yet there are a few loafers.
Farmers, it'seems, will not have much
room for complaint. The late rains
make the corn crop very promising, and
the oats and grass crops will not be to-
tai failures.
The wool trade has not been so excl
ting us at other times, yet our merchants
have done good business in that line.
We think that few towns of its size
can boast better merchants than those of
Morristown. At the east end of town,
Steger keeps full line of dry goods,
and a good supply of groceries, and is
ever ready to do his best by his custom
ers. Further to the west Taggarts keep
a full line of new goods, besides much
that is ancient, so that the customer
can have pick and choice. Midway
Capt. w. B. Kirk deals in dry goods, no
tions, &C., SC. The Captain is ever
ready to accommodate. James Shep-
herd, jr., the youngest of the dry goods
merchants, is as lively and ready ON a
bargain as the oldest of them, and has
an attractive store. Fisher is decidedly
a business man, and keeps his store of
drugs and hardware well supplied with
everything in his line. Metcalf, the p.
NJ, has the hats, caps, and notions to
suit the most fastidiOus. But our no
tice is assuming proportions, and we are
compelled to omit naming tailors, dress
makers and millinerS.
Preparations are going forward for a
glorious Fourth, of which we will say
something next week.

THIS number of the CHRONICLE con-
tains a rather elaborate history of the
N. E. Church in st. Clairsville, and yet
probably as brief chronicle as could be
written concerning an organization at
least 80 years old, and necessarily invol-
wing the Methodism of the entire county.
1t is probable the historian commences
the narrative at too late a period, as
Wheeling was settled as early as ITO.
Vigorous settlements existed at the
mouth of Mingo Creek, in jefferson
county, as early, if we mistake not, as
1875, and settlements were made at the
mouth of Captina but a very little later.
The early Methodist itinerant was gen.
orally on hand very soon after the cabin
was built There were 6S1 members on
Ohio circuit in 1902, and 394 on West
Wheeling circuit the following year. ar
guing an earlier date than 1899 as the
time when the NJ. E. Church first opera
ted in our county. 1t is probable that
Methodist preachers operated in this
county as early as 1900, and the narr;l-
tive ought to commence then instead of
nine years later. Old citizens will
doubtless be in these gatherings from
many sources.

There is no life in the wool market
here this week. For several days most
of the buyers have been off and those
that are in the business are buying very
cautiously at 35 cents for the best clips.

The wool market has been very active
during the past week. Prices have rang

We learn from reliable authority that
about 100000 pounds of wool have been

The Wool Market.
New York Bulletin OF Saturday.

New York Bulletin OF Saturday.
Less urgent necessities to secure stock
among consumers, the gradual outcom-
ing of the new Western clips and the
very positive evidence that the extreme
prices in many cases have been the re-
suit of useless competition still remain
as influences tending to hold demand in
check. Buyers are by no means difficult
to find, and an attractive showing of
samples will draw attention and bids, but
negotiations are much closer and holders
commence to compete for desirable GUS
toners. The result is that this weeks
market has had comparatively dull
tone, and the sharp edge is off on nearly
all grades with those holders who cling
to extreme views doing the least busi-
ness. The competition in the country is
less general, and every mail brings let
ters asking for bids on parcels seeking a
market. Prices here are little uncer-
tain, but on Y and XXX quotations are
made at S0a41c, with medium woods,

Serious Accident.

Early on Monday morning Harry Bo-
rolf, son of John BorOff, the grocer, took
his shot gun and started out to the
woods alone to find some game. In his
scout he went as far as Wheeling Creek,
where he found a number of town boys
fishing, bathing, &c, among whom was
Edgar Adams, who lives with his grand
M other in this place, and is son of
Henry Adams of Wheeling. When the
time to start home came, Harry told the
boys that he believed he would take to
the woods, so that he might find some
game, and Edgar concluded to accompa-
ny him, the other boys preferring to steer
for home direct. The two boys had pro-
ceeded as far hOmeward as James Fra
zier's farm, northeast of town, and to-
gether, within few feet of each other,
Edgar in the advance, were looking
around in piece of timber, hoping to
spy a squirrel, when Harry tripped and
fell forward, the hammer of the gun
catching in his clothing, causing the dis
charge of the piece and the emptying of
its contents into the left leg of Edgar,
midway between the ankle and knee.
Boroff, almost scared out of his wits,
undertook to carry Edgar to Mr.. Fra
zier's house, half mile distant, but be-
ing unable to do so, he ran to the house
and apprised him of what had happened,
when he went to his assistance and re-
moved him to his residence. Drs. II
and John E. West, HewetsOn and Close
were called, and as soon as possible had
him removed to the residence of Mrs
Adams, when upon examination it was
found that the large bone of the leg was
fractured and that the small one had
been shattered, and two inches of it en-.
tirely carried off. The shattered portions
were removed and the limb was dressed
with some encouragement that it may be
saved.
This is most unfortunate accident tC
Edgar, and will probably cripple him fol
life. His youth-being but II years Of
age-and his grit is in his favor, if am
putation can be avoided.

THE following, from the Wheeling In
telligencer of Monday, will interest a
number of our readers:
Directly after the services at the Dis
ciples' Church last evening, occurred a
notable event-nOtable at least to the
two parties most concerned. 1t had been
understood for several days that Mr..
Oscar Seeley would lead to the altar
Miss Eva Rice, at P. NJ, and accordingly
merous friends of the contracting par
ties. After the usual services, the bride
and groom, preceded by Misses Ella
Greer and Mary Faris, the only attend
ants, entered the church, while we'd
ding march was finely rendered by Prof.
Weber, who presided at the organ. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. w. B.
Thompson, pastor of the church. The
bride wore magnificent navy blue silk,
while the groom appeared in convention
al full dress. The young lady attend
ants, who were pupils of Miss Rice at
the Seventh Ward public school, and
members of the graduating class, ap-
peared in the dresses they wore upon the
occasion of the Commencement exercises
in Washington Hall last Thursday eve
ming. Messrs. Sam, and Albert Wilson,
Frank p. Mcneil and Brooke Adams
acted as ushers. At 11:15 P. NJ. the bri-
dial party left via the Central Ohio Road
for Cleveland, where they will spend a
few days, and return home the latter
part of the week. Mr.. and Mrs. Seeley
are well known in musical circles, where
they have many warm personal friends
who unite in wishing that their
SLOWS may be as deep as the ocean,
Tintr sorrows as light as its foam"
The numerous friends of the BRIDE in
st. Clairsville unite their congratula-
tions with those of her friends in Wheel
ing, and wish for her a life of unalloyed
happiness and prosperity.
