PARTICULARS OF E. L. MoRGAN's
DEATH AT ARNETTsvILLE.- Edward
L. Morgan, Esq, of Pawpaw district,
this county, died suddenly at Ar
nettsville, Monongalia county, last
Sunday night. 1t seems that Mr..
Morgan went to Pennsylvania on
Saturday. and in returning from
there on Sunday his horse became
so lame that he stopped for the night
at Arnettsville. He partook of a
late and, it is said, rather hearty
dinner at Jimtown. and when supper
was announced at Arnettsville be de
clined to eat anything, saying that
be did not feel we'll and had slight
headache. He retired for the night
about nine o'clock, and conversed
for some time with the proprietor of
the house, who was in an adjoining
room, and also with a young man
named Price, who accompanied Mr..
Morgan to and from Pennsylvania,
and who was his bed-fellow. The
conversation finally ended, and about
half past ten o'clock the proprietor of
the house heard peculiar gurgling
or istrangling noise and called Mr..
Morgan, which call aroused Mr..
Price. The latter gentleman thought
Mr.. Morgan was asleep; he shook him
and endeavored to arouse him, but
upon examination it was found that
he was dead. Heart disease is suppos
ed to have been the cause of his death.
The deceased was good citizen, and
during the past four years had been
a Justice of the Peace of Pawpaw
district. His remains were buried
on Wednesday at the Hamilton Gem
etery, near this place. He leaves
wife but no children. We suppose
he was about ffty years of age

A QUIET KNOCK DowN--THEY FELL
FULL OF FIGHT-A MYSTERIOUS Box
WHAT DID 1T CoNTAIN?-Last Thurs
day night as New DOMINION repre-
sentative was passing Caracas corn
err he heard two men engaged in q
bitter and vigorous quarrel, and
lodged into a dark corner in order
to take in anything that might hap.
pen. Everything else was quiet in
that part of the town and the men
had the pavement all to themselves.
They were evidently railroad hands,
and as well as could be determined
from their voices and by their appear
ance in the dark, one was negro and
the other an Italian. Both were
slightly intoxicated and seemed to
be quarreling about some money
which the Italian had The negro
said it was his, the Italian said it
was his. Curses, names and charges
of stealing followed thick and fast,
partly in mongrel English, partly in
Italian. In few minutes they be-
gan pounding each other in fine style,
and we crowded close up against the
wall. About the third or fourth slap
one of them piled up against lamp
post but was on his feet again in
second. Just at this instant some
one was heard coming up the street
and the men suspended operations
and skipped, one of them going up
toward Spruce street and the other
down Walnut. The latter, after
reaching the Franklin House, turned
up Long Alley and was left to take
his course. The whole occurrence
lasted but three or four minutes and
was about as noiseless as anything
of the kind could be and at the same
time be conducted with anything like
respectable earnestness.
The same night about 10 o'clock a
student saw two men carrying long
box down across the college campus
in the direction of the powder mag
azine and the river. The box looked
to be seven or eight feet long and
must have been heavy for they stop
ped frequently to rest. The student
followed them little distance but
did not get near enough to distin-
guish their features. The last he
saw Of them they were slowly and
silently vending their way toward
the river Nobody knows whether
there was anything irregular" in
the proceeding or not. They could
not have intended to conceal the box
or its contents In the river for at the
present time it contains only a few
inches of water. Perhaps they were
simply going home about their bus
mess

NAUGHTY. NAUGHTY, WHEELING
GIRLs-THIs Is NOT TO BE READ
For some time past rumors have been
waited to this side Of the river of the
wild pranks played by the Island
girls At first no attention was paid
to these rumors but as they kept in
circulation there seems have been
some foundation. One thing is GER
tain, if the girls are doing as repre-
sented this article will have the de-
sired effect, which is to check any
repetition of them; and if there is
really no foundatian for them, and
the writer sincerely hopes there is not,
then this mention will do no harm.
The rumors are to this effect. Just
after the sable garment of night casts
its first shadow over this quiet retreat
the Island-a crowd of the young
ladies of that portion of our city Sc
cure the services of several suits of
boys clothes aud sally forth in
search of conquests. Those so dress
ed accost other young ladies, who re-
side on the Island, while their con
federates stand in the dark and wit
ness the fun. The young ladies or
girls who masquerade in this manner
use great caution in their exploits,
for they never attempt to accost any
one but such persons as they are ac-
quainted with. The girls beyond
doubt do not see any harm in their
masquerading, and that is the great
trouble, there certainly is harm in it
and they should be so convinced

FIGHT. FIGHT.-On Monday about
noon IA lively fisticuff took place on
Pleasant street just opposite the office
Of the New DOMINION. The combat
ants were Chas. johnson, from near
Easton, and Arlie Christy of this
place. The facts as furnished us are
the following: On the day of the
Republican thuse in this place q
slight disturbance occurred between
johnson and Christy, in which John
son hit Christy blow aud then, in
the general melee, the two got separ-
ated. Monday as Christy was walk
ing up street johnson met him and
said Hello young fellow and gave
him a blow in the face. Christy
struck back with force enough to
knock his assailant to the ground
and proceeded to administer addi-
tional reproofs in the shape of heavy
hits until the two were separated.
johnson bled profusely and had to
patch up his face. Christy was not
much hurt.

Owing to the delay of trains keeping

berlain addressed the audience on the top
ic, Practical Horticulture as an Educa-
tional Influence" We give a few of the
points made: l have always regarded the
farmer as more than a tiller of the soil,
and will speak of him in this address as a
citizen. have not prepared this address
to show the money making part of horti-
culture, but the influence and tendency
it has on mans mind. The speaker
showed that the different occupations a
man is engaged in, has tendency to eX T.
ert strong influence on his mind and on
his manners. The village blacksmith of
olden time kept his wits sharpened by a
constant contact with Others, from talk
ing theology to the minister to arguing
with the small boy, whose trap he was
intending, about the habits of the wood
chuck. and so with the shoemaker, the
tailor aud others. lie drew comic pic
ture of the furniture building OF thirty
wears ago, compared with that of the
convict labor of to day, and Illustrated IL
with tw o secretaries in his own possess
sion. The demand now is for something
cheap-and thus you get chicory for cot
fee. glucose for sugar, NC. The point
that | wish to make is that the erect Oh
labor saving machinery, tends to make
one-sided the human mind that WORKS Ihe
