CANE NEAR BEING SERIoUs.-Last
Friday evening, Feb. Goth, came
very near being the date of a sad
occurrence in our town. Minor
Knots, while his wife went to the
Baptist entertainment Friday even
ing, was left at home in care of the
youngest child, about six months
old. The little child upon falling
asleep was taken by its father and
laid upon the bed in an adjoining
room. From some cause the child
awoke and was taken up and carried
to the other room. In a few mo-
ments after the child had been taken
from the bed burning coal snapped
from the CRATE finding Judgment on
the bed, setting it on fire, burning a
circular hole six inches in diameter
through the covering and tick. For
tunately, Mr. Knots discovered the
smoke and succeeded, after a vigor-
GUS effort, in extinguishing the fire.
Happily no serious damage was
done. 1t seems to be an act of
Providence the way in which the
little one was protected. - Greensboro

The WEST VA. & PA. RAILROAD.

HE w ESI "A. W L A. hAlLROAD.-
Again rumors are rife concerning
the building of the W. Va. q Pa. r.
r. The Clarksburg Meas last week
announced that President Lowndes
was in the East and states that the
surveying corps has been doing
some work near Clarksburg. Of
course President Lowndes has been
in the East before and there has
also been considerable surveying
done all along the. line in the past
two or three years, yet these present
movements are thought to really
mean something tangible and bust
ness like-but just what, nobody pre-
tends to say or seems to know. While
we have learned not to bank on the
prospects of this road being built
within definite period we are still
confident that sooner or later a COM
peting road up the Monongahela
Valley will be fixed and substan-
tial fact, and the announcement
that it's construction is to be COM
menced this summer would not, we
think, greatly surprise or shock us.
The existence of the F., M. Il p. only
makes the necessity for another road
more apl aren't, if possible, than it
was before. Speaking of the latter
road, it may be safely asserted that
if the W. Va. d Pa. should be COM
menced the B. d o. would not lose
any time in connecting that road
with its line at Uniontown.-Inder.
There are signs of an early re-
sumption of work on the w. Va. and
Pa. Railroad. 1t is our belief that
the early spring will witness decid-
ed move toward in the interests of
this enterprise. The Clarksburg
papers, at the home of President
Lowndes, are very much encouraged
at the outlook West Virginian.

A TELL-TALE SKULL-THE REMAINS
OF A PEDLAR WHO WAS MURDERED 81
YEARS AGo.-Mr. Jackson Martin,
of Cass district, left at this office.
Saturday, CHASTITY but interesting
relic. 1t is human skull, found
by him not long since, about mile
below Vaudeville Other parts of
the human anatomy were also found
consisting of part of the thigh bone
and other fragments. The skull is
of unusual thickness, but the shape
and proportions are very good. Its
history, as related by Mr.. Martin
and his father, Mr.. John A. B. Mar
tin, is as follows:
About the year 1850 pedlar came
to the house of Horatio Martin, ia
Their of John A. B. Martin, selling
zinc washboards and various dye
stuffs. He had wagon and one
horse, and was supposed to have car
ried considerable amount of money.
A few days later his goods were
found scattered along the river, and
his wagon in the river. The latter
had been sunk by heavy stones, but
they had become detached and the
wagon came to the surface. His
horse was found near Carmichels,
Pa. He was badly cut about the
head and shoulders, but still living.
The body of the missing pedlar
was never found, but there were no
doubts that he had been murdered
in lonely road which leads up a
narrow and dark defile near spot
called Long Rock. The money which
he was known to have carried was,
no doubt, the tempting morsel which
caused some person or persons to
take his life
A family in that neighborhood
was suspected of having done the
dark and bloody deed, but no ar
rests were ever made, and none of
that family now live in this county
so far as we know.
The skull and other bones were
found under a rock about 8x10 it.,
situated up this dark defile, not far
from Long Rock. The name of the
unfortunate murdered man is not
known, but there is scarcely doubt
that the skull handed us by Mr..
Martin belonged to the pedlar of
washboards and dyes, who was muir
dered in 1850.

DWELLING HOUSE BURNED.-On
Monday afternoon last the residence
of Jacob w. Newman, in Union dis
trict, was entirely destroyed by fire.
The greater part of the household
goods were saved, but in a damaged
condition. 1t is thought the fire
originated from burning SCOT falling
upon the roof. The loss must be
several hundred dollars and is quite
a serious one to Mr.. Newman.

SORROWS TREAD EACH OTHERS
HEELS, so FAST They FoLLow-THE
SUICIDE OF CARLOW RESULTS IN THE
INSANITY OF NEAR RELATIvE.-The
recent suicide of Benton r. Carlow
was sad enough in itself, but it be-
comes peculiarly unfortunate be
cause of results which it has brought
about.
Mr.. Cyrus Carlow Tor ssh Gar
low, as he is Familiarity called is a
first cousin of the late Benton r.
Carlow, and an intimate friend, as
well. He was very badly shocked
at his kinsman's untimely death,
and grieved bitterly over it. About
week ago his mind became unbal-
anced and he soon became wild and
raving. He constantly carries about
with him the revolver with which
his cousin took his own life, and in
addition to this he has large doub-
le-barreled shot gun with which he
frightens everybody His friends
cannot do anything with him. Last
Thursday night he went to church
at FIT. Martin and broke up the
meeting by his wild rawlings.
Mr.. Carlow is widower about As
years of age, and has two children
twins, young men about II years
old. He is possessed of consider
able amount of property and is very
wellto-do in the world.
The case is peculiarly sad one,
and it is to be hoped that Mr.. Gar
lows mind will early regain it's nor
NAL condition. Meanwhile the trou-
bled and sorrowing friends and rela-
tives have the sympathy of all their
acquaintance, and all others who
know of this peculiar combination
of misfortunes.
