sensation occurred this afternoon by
the arrest OF W. T. Richards, ex-NIayor
and editor OF the Clarksburg Telegram,
on a charge preferred by the present
Mayor OF the town, D. G. Lee, the
charge being that the defendant created
a atumult during the trial OF a case which
was being heard by the Mayor. The tu.
mutt or noise, it is said, was cauGed by
the carrying OF coal up stairway by an
employe OF the defendant, whose office
is situated above that OF the Mayors.
The Mayor eontended that it interfered
with his hearing of the case and that it
was interfering with the peace OF the

existing between the plaintiff and de-
fcndant. The trial will take place at 10

licenses recently revoked by superinten-

combination and inaugurated legal
fight against the superintendent for the
purpose OF testing his power to refuse an
insurance company admission to. the

law of the State and are not safe CON
Germs. Since he has been in office he
has revoked the licenses OF more than
twenty companies. Yesterday the West
ern Home Insurance Company OF Sioux
City, Iowa, one Of the companies which
had its license revoked, petitioned the
Supreme Court to compel the superin-

will test the question OF the authority OF

They are glad to find another sin to lay
at his door. But Mr.. wilkins, in Ran

day and found that the special order re-

Carlisle, and was prepared by the
Speaker in accordance with what he un-
derstood to be the sentiment OF the Judi

favored it, as did Reed and Cannon, Re-
publicans, while Carlisle was opposed to
It. The formidable lobby behind the

about l o'clock this afternoon, in the

years, out tor an afternoon walk, and
while resting for 4 few moments in the
house of neighbor near the railroad
track, the boy crossed over the track and
engaged in play, when an emigrant
tram rounded the curve. The boy start
ed to recross the track, but was unfor-
tunately too late and was struck by the
engine with such force that his head
was crushed in frightful manner and
he was hurled some distance away. His
mangled and bleeding form was picked
up by willing hands, who had observed
the accident, and his mother ut once no.
titled. Her grief was most pitiful in.
deed. The tram was running ut u high
rate OF speed, while the corporation laws
require speed not exceeding six miles
per hour OF all trains within the corpOr-
alton limits.
