-Burkett, of the Grafton Roller
Rink, has gone-left last Saturday
night. The soul stirring strains of
music from the band, the merry
voices and rollicksome jollity of the
merry skaters, the grand tumbling
and fat sprawling of the amateur
artists and the never ending, deep,
heavy rumbling of the skates are
heard no more within the cold cheer
less, bankrupt sanctum of Burkett.
No more is heard the sound of revel-
ry by night. Now doth the consta-
BILE hold possession and control and
soon the place and paraphernalia
that was once the delight of Burkett
will know him no more forever.
Even the bicycle on which he did sit
with such grace is riderless and the
constable fears to mount. Who is
there to mourn for Burkett? Ask
his creditors.-Edgle.
The Standard remarks as follows

rink and fixtures are advertised to
be sold by constable Compton Jan.

LOST, STRAYED, OR SToLEN.-Our
latest advices from Ellington are
that considerable force of men are
in search of the track of a railroad
that was being built in that vicinity.
They are confident that track was
already laid to the bank of the creek
at that place, but it disappeared on
Friday night last, and has not been
seen since.
Not trace of the alleged railroad
is visible. Even the deep cuts that
were made in grading have disap-
peared, and the surface is now a
level plain the entire distance, where
the railroad ought to be.
Moreover, some of the inhabitants
actually aver that an engine has
been seen on the alleged track no
longer ago than last Friday, and they
cite that fact as incontrovertible
proof that there was railroad. But
neither road nor engine have been
heard from since that date
The general supposition is that
the railroad in question was the F.,
M. Il p. road, which was building to
Morgantown, and that it has been
showed under. But we take no
stock in this version of the matter.
The F., M. d p. would never get
showed under. 1t is too active and
pushing to meet with any such ex-
perience. There is no storm-not
even the Friday night blizzard-that
could catch that road. 1t is light
ming. 1t travels-it does. The idea
of the F., M. d p. getting showed
under is SANDER, which we desire
to suppress.

DIR. DANCER ON THE WITNESS
STAND.-There was sensation in
the Moot Court at the University
the other day. The limbs of the
law were trying case in which one
side was attempting to prove that
force had been used to compel a
party to sign contract, and that
he had been bruised in the encouns
ter. The versatile Janitor, DR.. Dan
Ger, was called in as witness. He
took his seat all begrimed with SCOT
and smoke so that but little of his
face was visible but certain merry
twinkle of the eye.
He was asked his occupation.
With due dignity ha replied,
professor of Medicine in the
West Virginia University am a
d. M. Sir" He said that he had oc-
cupied the medical chair for the last
ID years. He had examined the
party who claimed to be injured in
this case.
When asked to describe his inju-
ries he replied,
II discovered severe confusion on
the soft part of the Uranium which
had resulted in fracture of the os
fronts and general disturbance of

There was general sudden sus-
pension of business at this point.

Hzkx's < PsEx4f 1txsa-A Al inter
estlng and perpIexing question has
grown out Of the annexation Of the
new addition to the borough Of Nor
gantown. It is known, OF course,
that the county and the town levy
separate taxes for the Support Of the
poor and the repair of the roads.
In other words: the town supports
its own paupers and keeps up its
own streets and is, therefore, not
taxed by the county, for these items.
Now, the point in dispute il, TIC
whom shall the inhabitants of the
new addition pay their road and
poor taxes for the present year to
the county or to the town?
A test case was brought before
the County Court last week and the
Court decided that the county can
claim these taxes for the present fis-
cal year. The town through its at
torney, Mr.. Moreland, objected on
the following grounds: The town
did not make its levy for this year
until after the new addition became
a part of the town, and then, of
course. the levy was made for the
entire town. Would it be equitable
to tax part of the town for these
purposes and not tax all of it?
Moreover, the county did not levy
its tax until after the election ex-
tending the corporation lines. The
only point in favor of the county,
and the one on which the Court bas-
ed it's decision, is the fact that the
county levy was made before the
vote extending the corporation limits
was ratified by the Circuit Court.
Technically the law would seem to
warrant the decision, but justice
and right are evidently against
it.
Very naturally these people don't
want to pay two taxes for the same
purpose the same year, and we pre-
sumo they will not be compelled to
do so, but as the matter stands, it is
evidently in ''pretty mess The
county has laid its levy and so has
the town. The attorney for the
town says that the town will insist
on collecting the taxes that are just
ly due it, the County Court says
that the taxes in dispute belong
properly to the county, and here the
matter rests.

ROBBERY AT MANNINGroN.-The
Warrington correspondent of the In
der says: The boldest robbery ever
committed here occurred on Monday
evening at 7:25 o'clock, on one Of
our most public thoroughfares, by
which the thieves secured a gold
watch and chain, (valued at $50 or
$60) 1888 in cash, check for 800,
and lot of notes DC. AS Mr.. Matt
Brooks, young man of about %
years of age, was going home he
heard person walking in front of
him; also some one following close
behind. Thinking nothing of this,
as it was common occurrence, he
lessened his speed, expecting COM
pany to his home-some hundred
and fifty yards beyond where the
robbery occurred. When about half
way between the Motter building
and the. Ice property, Matt stopped
and turned to speak to the person
behind, when the party made a jump
catching him by the throat with one
hand and completely shutting his
wind off, while the other hand he
put over his mouth which prevented
his giving an alarm. Party No. L,
who was in front, then came up, and
grabbing the watch and pocketbook,
struck Mr. Brooks terrible blow
on the side of his neck, which felled
him to the ground. In falling he
managed to bring the thief with him,
who all this time had a death grip
on MATHS wind pipe. This fellow
then let loose of his throat, and Civ
ing Matt kick in his side which
landed him off the high side walk
into the street, he and his partner
made off and escaped. The alarm
was given and about fifty men were
soon on the hunt of the thieves, but
found no one, and it is the opinion
of all that the parties who did the
deed were helping in the search.
This morning the pocketbook was
found in the street near where it was
thrown after the money had been
taken from it. The watch was also
found near where the robbery was
committed; the party had jumped a
fence into the w. d. Bearty property,
doubtless carrying the watch by the
chain just as he had caught it, and
in lighting on the ground it is prob
able the watch was jerked from the
chain. Mr.. Brooks was unable to
recognize his assailants, as it was
one of the darkest nights we have
have had for many day. Suspicion
seems to rest on some of our own
boys, who are too triflng to work and
make an honest living, and there
will be a strong effort made to ferret
our this affair and bring the bold
robbers to justice. Everybody is
convinced that the perpetrators are
residents of Warrington, and determin-
edto make an effort to put down this
highway robbery and meat stealing.
