A WAYNEsBURG VIRAGo-SHE A.

A WAYNEsBURG VIRAGo-SHE AS
sAULTs CHAs. MosoA.-A Waynes-
burg correspondent Of a Pittsburgh
paper relates the following concern
ing the performances of "lady" of
that burg: Martha Waters, name
not unknown to the Allegheny Work
House authorities, was before the
Criminal Court here yesterday on a
charge of surety of the peace pre-
ferred by Charles Mosca. Miss Wa
tiers manages her own cases, and in a
way that is terrifying to the court
and spectators. When Mosca was
delivering his testimony she made il
exceedingly lively for him by villain
Gus epithets, and when the court
ordered her removed by the sheriff
she discharged a vile volley of OBJ
scenity at bench and bar. AS she
passed through the witness room in
custody of the sheriff she brutally
assaulted respectable woman and
injured her about the face painfully
before she could be stopped. Mar
tina is stout and vicious virago
and earned the reputation when with
Superintendent Warner at Claremont
before, of being the most refractory
prisoner and the worst woman he
ever had charge Of The Superin
tendent will certainly renew her &C
quaintance unless she can be sent to
Riverside.

The YEAR WITHOUT A SUMNER
The lingering winter of this year re-
wives recollections of the year 1916,
when summer forgot to come at all.
January and February were mild !;
March was cold and boisterous;
April opened warm but grew colder
as it advanced, ending with snow
and ice; in May ice formed half an
inch thick, buds and flowers were
frozen and corn was killed; in June
snow fell to the depth of three inches
in New York and Massachusetts and
ten inches in Maine, and all the fruit
was killed; in July ice was formed
the thickness of window pane in
New York, New England and Penn
sylvania and the corn was destroyed ;
in August the ice was half an inch
thick; the first two weeks of Septem
Der were mild but the month closed
with frost and ice; October and No
vember were cloudy and blustery, and
December mild and comfortable.
Owing to the total failure of the
corn crop, farmers were compelled
to pay from 81 to S. per bushel
for seed corn the following year. =

WATER AND GAS WoRKs.-As will
be seen by the resolutions of council
published on this page, the town
council has authorized the submits
sion Of proposition to the voters of
Morgantown to subscribe to the cap
ital stock ofthe Monongalia Improve
ment Company the sum of $4,000.
The adoption of this ordinance will
insure the erection Of water works.
The Company, by the terms of the
resolutions will be required to ex-
pend at least $4,000 before any part
of the subscription is payable. The
New DOMINION believes the enterprise
a safe and meritorious one The
amount asked is comparatively small
when the advantages to accrue from
the building of water works are con
sidered. The town would save more
than the interest on the bonds in re-
duced insurance; besides which, it
would furnish us pretty good fire
department. We believe the sub
scription will be carried If 1T should
be defeated, the company will aban-
don the enterprise and we will be
allowed to haul water from the river
indefinitely.

SUICIDE IN MARION CoUNTY-HEN-
RY H. SHAcKELFoRD SHOOTS HIMSELF.
Henry H. Shackelford fatally shot
himself at his home on Moody's run,
about d miles above Barrackville,
Marion county, at few minutes
after 6 o'clock on Tuesday morning
last. just after eating breakfast
with his family, Mr.. Shackelford
took down a loaded rifle which he
had borrowed few days previously
from his brother-in- law, Mr.. Joe R.
Prickett, and telling his wife he was
going out to shoot rat, he passed
out of the door and went to the
north end of the house. Mrs. Shack
elford had for some time entertained
doubts of her husbands perfect san
ity, and on this morning her fears
caused her to tell her oldest son,
Luther, lad Of nine years to go out
to him. The lad did so, when the
| father told him to hide behind a
large chimney which stands against
that end of the house, until he would
shoot rat. The boy took the posi-
ton his father indicated, and look
ing around the corner of the chin
ney saw his father set the breech OF
his gun upon the ground and place
the muzzle against his left breast
between the 9th and 7th ribs. I'm
mediately afterward the gun was
discharged and Mr.. Shackelford fell
to the ground dead. The lock on the
weapon indicated that it had beer
fired by deceased with his foot. Tht
ball entered the body between the
9th and 7th ribs, taking an upward
and inward direction toward the lief
side of the neck, and passing
through the apex of the heart
Mr.. Shackelford was about "a years
Of age, and was quiet, industrious
and highly respected citizen, and I
member of the Baptist church, hav
ing united with that denomination
when quite a young man. He Leaves
wife daughter of J. r. Clelland
Esq, of this district, and two son
aged respectively 8 and years. Fo
some time his friends thought the,
detected evidence Of disorderet
mind, and once recently he confessed
he was tired of life and threatened
suicide, yet no one it seems seriousl,
suspected the design Of the unfortu
nate man when about to achieve hi
own destruction. -Inder

among the spectators he casually met
one Of his lady acquaintance, and
among other things was heard to

SALE OF LIVERY ESTABLISHMENT.
On Saturday last Major Jim Bell,
the popular liveryman, sold his es-
tablshment in this place to Walter
W. Hayes, of Fairmont, who takes
possession to-day. The sale includ-
ed everything except two horses,
which the Major reserved. While
the patrons of the place will regret
to lose the old proprietor our people
will extend to tile new one q cordial
welcome. Walter is a native of Nor
gantown, and is an old hand at the
business, and will no doubt render
perfect satisfaction to his customers.
We are glad to learn that Major Bell
will probably remain in Morgantown
and engage in other business. His
host Of friends would regret to lose
him from our town.

Prof. Wiley, Mr.. Keck addressed
the Law Class of the University, last
week. The boys say it was good

be expected from Mr.. Keck. Prof.
Wiley introduced him as ''the per-

Now is THE TINE FOR THE FARME


Now is THE TINE FOR THE FARMER
TO INSURE HIS HOUSE, BARNS AND
OTHER BUILDINGS AGAINST Loss BY
FIRE AND LIGHTNING. After many
years of experience, insurance in
standard board companies, is on as
solid basis as the foundation of
our national banking system. And
through long competition insurance
has been reduced to such low rates
that every farmer or laboring man
can afford to protect his home from
destruction. Take farm house
worth $1,000 and say we carry 81, 900
insurance on it for 5 years. This
would only cost So a year just think
of it, thirty thirty sixths of one cent
day will protect $1,000 the year
round, and year given in which to
pay the premium.
Now who is there that can not af-
ford to expend the worth of one egg
a day to protect One Thousand Dol
lars?
1t is especially incumbent ON the
poor man to insure his property, for
if he loses it he is not able to rebuild,
hence the necessity for him to be
constantly Unidentified.
If time is wanted Geo. G. Baker
and his agents will give you year
in which to pay premiums, or let you
pay it in five annual payments, NTH
out interest Now farmers and all
who have property, can you afford to
sit quietly and see your house burnt,
without being reimbursed in whole
or in part?
The Continental Insurance Com
pany is the largest farmers company
in the United States, and the Aetna of
Hartford and Home of New York are
the largest general insurance com
panies in this county. Call on Geo.
G. Baker, District Agent, No. l Chan
