A PAINFUL ACCIDENT TO A KING
WOOD LADY.-Mrs. Mary Byrne, of
Kingwood, sustained the fracture of
one Of the bones of her leg, between the
knee and ankle, Tuesday evening. In
stepping from the sidewalk between
Mr.. Bishops and Mr.. Cranes to go
across the road to the house of her
daughter, Mrs. D. Young Morris, she
slipped and fell. Being unable to
rise and her cries for aid being heard
by no one, she was compelled to
crawl through the snow across the
wide street to Mr.. Morris's gate. She
was unable to get this open, and it
was some time before she succeeded
in making the inmates Of the house
hear her calls. When she was found
she was very much chilled. She was
removed to Mr.. Morris's and DR..
Trippett was summoned, who gave
her the best aid. Mrs. Bryne's hands
were badly frosted, and gave her
much pain during the night. As she
has every attention that loving hands
and wide circle of sympathizing
neighbors can give, it is hoped that
she will soon recover from what is q
very serious mishap to lady Of her
advanced age.-Journal

DELAYED LITTER.

WADEsrowN, Jan. 2.-Henry Moore
has become the champion wild turkey
hunter. He recently discovered a
flock of eight, aud killed two Of them,
weighing about Is lbs each, but the
most enjoyable part to US was that
when they roasted the first one killed
they invited some of their nearest
neighbors to help them eat it, of
whom the writer and family were q
part. 1t is only necessary to say we
all did ample justice to the turkey,
which was served in the best style,
and most delicious to the taste.
The new Mt. Tabor church was
dedicated yesterday. Although the
weather was unfavorable there was
large crowd present. The sermon
was preached by the Elder, d. H. X.
Dix, after which financial state
ment was made by the building com
mittee, which gave total cost Of build
ing 81, 949. 80; amount of money al
ready furnished $1,395.00, leaving
$554,3l vet to be raised. The Elder
very kindly asked the congregation
to furnish this amount, that they
might go on with the dedicatory SER
vices. The people very generously
responded and in short time more
than the amount was furnished, leav-
ing the church free from debt, after
which the dedicatory services were
performed. The people Of that com
munity now have church of which
they may well be proud, as it is a
very neat, as well as substantial build
ing, covered with slate and furnished
in good style. The protracted meet
ing at that place was announced tc
begin last night.
A very successful meeting is going
on at Kcnt's Church; up to Monday

RAILROAD NEws-THE w. VA. &
p. LoCATED.-DIGGING TO COMMENCE
Railroad news this week are
of a very gratifying nature. Active
operations are in progress by both
companies. The w. Va. & P. we are
informed have secured nearly all the
the rights of way between here and
Fairmont and report the most salts
factory progress in the prosecution
Of the work in other directions.
At a meeting Of the Directors last
week the location of the road was fin
ally adopted. 1t is to be built upon
the West side of the river to point a
few miles above Morgantown where
the river will be crossed.
Work on the road will begin as
soon as the weather will permit and
will be pushed cnergetically to COM
pletion. The Directors have accepted
the proposition made by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company, and with
such backing the funds necessary will
be easily obtained.

1t Is rumored that our enterprising

that has been long needed at this
place.
On Friday morning last Mr.. G. S.

NoTEs ABOUT TowN.-Dr. Allen
has engaged rooms at the CONNER
cial Hotel for next year.
j. K. Durr will convert the room
now occupied by the New DOMINION
into apartments suitable for guests,
in the Spring, and the rooms adjoin-
ing also. The railroad boom has
stirred him up.
1t is said that Prof. w. P. Wiley
will occupy the NJ. E. parsonage after
April lst.
Several families will be compelled
to board the coming year on account
Of the scarcity of houses.
The destruction Of the Lazier and
Clark properties will no doubt neces-
state the erection of new business
block in our town-provided the pro-
gramme is carried out
f. X. O'Kelly' Florence Wagner,
DIR. johnson and j. X. Durr. enjoy
the sleighing immensely.
Already the expected boom is be-
ginning to be felt. While no one as
vet has made his fortune, great
many hats are held at arms length,
and every night the stocking are
hung up with the hope that they will
be filled before morning.
Mr.. Kitchens is one of the best
business men in town and bids fair
to be one of the most successful. He
is already quite popular in that di-
rection as he always was as a gentle
man and good man.

The COUNTRY PAPERs.-There Is
one thing that strikes us as being
most remarkable in the conduct Il
United States journalism, and that is
the pth and strength of expression
that runs throughout the so-called
country press. 1t is really in the
country press that thought finds the
strongest expression. Occasionally
country editor betrays ignor-
ance or carelessness of the rules Of
grammar; sometimes he gets ''little
off" on the matter Of propriety; but
the country newspaper, like the coun
try voter, has larger force in shap-
ing the destinies of the people for
whom we journalists all write, than
the whole so-called metropolitan press
combined.-er.

AT A WHITE HEAT-THE RAILROAD
FEVER AT FAIRMoNT-DoINGs OF Or
FIcIALs.-A Fairmont special to the
Register of the 18th inst, contains
the following describing the situation
in regard to railroad matters in that
place:
The railroad fever is approaching
white heat. On Saturday last an ell
cgant parlor car was switched off at
this place, and in a. few hours after
ward Mr.. VIM. Nj. Clements, accom-
panied by other prominent officials OF
the b. d o. road, and Hon. James
Morrow, Jr., their counsel, were be-
ing shown what spanking double
team can do upon roads covered
with the beautiful snow. The party
proceeded to Morgantown. The opin-
ion prevails here that the b. Il o.
have abandoned to the F. M. Il p.
the route between this place and Nor
gantown but will do some fine fight
ing on the route from the latter place
to the State line. The feeling is in
tense, and railroad excitement seems
not to have reached the climax yet.
In all probability. the next ten days
will tell some interesting facts.
An amusing occurrence has just
come to light. DR.. G. B. Carney is a
director Of the F. M. & r., but the
doctor is still young in the railroad
business, and seems to think that the
only thing necessary. to the perma-
nent location of railroad is to have
the stakes securely driven in the
ground along the route.
On Saturday night at a late hour
a wandering horseman, en- route from
Louisville to Little Falls, while pur-
suing the river bank ofthe Mononga-
hela, was attracted by the light Of a
solitary lantern, which seemed to
move from point to point, stopping a
few minutes at each point. Upon
coming nearer, he discovered DR.. Car
ney busily engaged in pulling up the
stakes ofthe West Virginia and Penn
sylvania, driven down by the survey
ors of that route, and throwing them
into the river
On Friday last the County Clerk
removed Joseph E. Sands, N. D. Hell
mick and Robert Lowe, who were ap-
pointed to handle the county railroad
subscription heretofore voted, and APP
pointed in their stead, Owen S. Nc
Kinney, Eli Musgrave and John j.
Martin. The movement is pretty
we'll understood.

JAMES NUTT ON TRIAL--THE CouR1
House. AT PITTSBURGH TANNED WTTn
PEOPLE TO HEAR THE TRIAL.--A Pitts
burgh dispatch of Monday gives this
account of the opening of the Nut
trial:
Crowds began seeking admission te
the court rooms at an early hour this
morning. Before nine the offices and
corridors were packed with people
seeking admittance. The doors d
the court were kept securely bolted
until ten, even the jurors being refus
ed admittance until that hour. Out
side the crowd pushed and jammed
and many were unable to get near tht
doors, At 1920 Judge Stowe ap
peared, with nearly all the Jurors
Major Brown, Mr.. Swartzwelder and
other counsel for defense. d. A.
Johnston, Esq, for the prosecution
also put in an appearance. At 1890
James Mutt was brought in from jail
and was placed in the dock. He
glanced around and nodded recogni-
tion to friends present.
Judge Stowe said although the
prisoner had been arraigned in
Fayette county, the law governing
the change Of venue provided that
the prisoner should be tried accord
ing to the regulations Of the county
to which the trial had been removed.
He therefore directed the prisoner to
be arraigned in due form. He was
directed to stand up while the indict-
ment was read. In putting in his
plea he answered firmly mot guilty"
and demanded trial by God and his
country. The work Of empaneling q
jury was then commenced, and up to
present writing three jurymen had
been secured.
At two P. M. ten jurors had been
accepted and the panel was exhaust
ed, after which the court took re-
cess until three o'clock to allow the
Sheriff time to summon sufficient
talismen to complete the jury. Mrs.
Mutt and her daughter Lizzie have
arrived in the city but were not pres
ent at the trial. The court recon
vened at three p. n. and the Sheriff
announced he had procured thirty
talismen. Out of these the last two
jurors were selected before five had
been examined. An adjournment
was then taken until half-past nine
tomorrow morning. The jury is con-
sidered an excellent one. They are
as fine looking body Of men as ever
sat in judgment upon so important :
case in Allegheny county. General
Blakely, one of the counsel for the
defense, said: "My work is done. It
was my duty to see that good jury
was obtained and q school boy could
conduct the defense with that jury
and obtain an acquittal. The names
Of the jurymen and their occupations
are as follows:
David Jenkins, steel worker; j. W.
McCully, collector; VIM. G. Lee, coal
dealer; Thomas Fair, bricklayer;
Thomas Graham, farmer; James Jen-
kins, engineer; Louis Emmuel, drug
gist; James Carson, plumber; Charles
Grassel, merchant; Charles Havis,
policeman; Robert ID. Nicholson,
clerk and John A. MCGOWAN, steel
melter.

New CoURT HousE.-There are ru-
mors in the air of new court house
for Monongalia county. The plan as
given to us by one who knows is to
buy DIR. Lazier's building and the
Clark property, tear. them out, thus
making the square extend from Chan
Gerry Row to Walnut Street, and erect
In the centre of the space thus made
a new temple of Justice" suitable to
the demands ofthe county. We cant
say that the above will be carried out,
but the matter is strongly limited.

A Run ORION Sunday Messrs.

Raymond graveyard the lines broke,
causing the horses to run away. The
occupants were thrown out. but for
tunately no serious injuries resulted.

the suspension bridge, and through
Fairmont to the stables at the CONT

DWELLING HoUsEs.-Dwelling houses
that are for rent are scarce here. So
far as VIC can judge from the number
of people still unproyided for, there
is not single house in the place to be
had. As Morgantown will no doubt
soon experience boom ia real estate.
we believe no better investment could
be made than to erect a number OF
neat dwellings. If any OF our pro
posed railroad enterprises should be
pushed ahead, newcomers will exper-
fence much difficulty in finding
places to live. The building of a
railroad will cause the destruction OF
several houses, thus adding to the
famine.
