INTERESTING INCIDENTS.
A Brief Synopsis of Haps and Missiaps
Occurring i'm Our State.

.Aut Scissors Aut NihiI
A man named Wiseman, employed
in a Lewis county sawmill, was
caught by large log that fell from
the saw carriage and had one Of his
legs broken in two places and the
knee bones of the other leg so badly
crushed that amputation may be
necessary.
A Few days ago Mrs. Susan Hoff,
of West Milford, Harrison county,
received a certificate from the State
Board Of Medical Examiners in
session at Wheeling, which authoriz
ed her to practice medicine. She
stood an excellent examination and
if she chooses to devote her life to
the profession, can no doubt secure
lucrative practice. She is the first
lady who has passed an examination
before the Board in this State.
A few days since little son of a
Berkeley county man,named Inherst,
was standing in doorway during n
thunder storm, when suddenly there
was a sharp flash of lightning, fol-
lowed by terrific peal of thunder,
and the boy fell forward the bolt
struck his left arm, crossed his stom-
ach and ran down his right leg.
The little fellow was rendered in
sensible, but is now slowly recover
ing, though quite nervous. His
clothing, wherever the lightning
passed, was stripped from him as
though knife had been used. The
wonder is the boy was not killed.
Three sons of George Lyons, a
farmer living on McElroy creek, in
Doddridge county, went out to work
in a clearing, taking with them an
old loaded gun that had the head of
a match on for cap. After work
ing for some time the two youngest
boys went down the hill some dis
lance for drink of water, While
absent they heard the report of
gun up the hill but paid no special
attention to it till they returned to
work, when not finding their brother
they FASTENED to the tree against
which they had left the gun leaning,
and there found their brother in a
dying condition. The gun had in
some manner been discharged and
the bullet gone through the young
mans head, having entered near the
eyes. He was about II years old
and quite popular.

HANGED THEIR FATHER.


SOMERSET, Pa, May 1.-The awful
and mysterious tragedy in Jefferson
township yesterday grows more re
voting as the facts appear. 1t now
seems more than probable that the
two sons of old Shanlas, who was IS
years of age and much debilitated,
deliberately conspired to put both
the father and step mother out of
the way, that they might speedily
come into the possession of the es-
tate, which is valuable The evil
dencc so far adduced justifies the
conclusion that two sons. David aud
George, hanged their father and then
David an hour or so later shot his
young step mother through the body
as she was returning from the barn
to the house. The step-mother still
lives and may recover. One thing
is certain, the father was hung pre-
vious to the shooting of the mother
Early one morning about two weeks
ago Mr.. Shanlis arrived in town with
bag of flour. which he asked Dr.
Brubaker, Of Somerset, to examine,
saying that his two sons were en-
deavoring to poison himself and WIFE
Altogether. it is a most revolving
and mysterious affair
The first account of the tragedy
is, briefly, as follows:
The community was startled yes
terday morning by the discovery of
another horrible tragedy. At an
early hour Jacob ID. Shanlis, a wealthy
farmer G5 years of age, who lived in
Jefferson township, eight miles from
this place, was found dead hanging
to a tree back of his residence Ly-
ing in the barnyard, a few feet away,
was his young wife, shot through
the body and fatally wounded. De
tective I. j. Picking hurried to the
scene, and after an investigation ar
rested David and George Shanlis,
sons of the old man and stepsons of
Mrs. Shanlis.
They were brought to Somerset
and lodged in Jail charged with the
crime. 1t was alleged that the old
man committed suicide first and then
David, his son, attempted to kill his
step mother, who is only % years OF
age, to prevent her inheriting the es
tate, the two boys hoping by this
means to secure the property them
selves.

The Municipal Election.

Our annual municipal election
will occur before another issue of the
New DOMINION.
There ought to be no personal
favoritism or party politics in this
election. The best men for the Of
fees and the good Of the town should
be the predominant, controlling mo-
tive in the mind of every voter.
Let the national administration
at Washington busy itself with cut
ting off the heads of fourth class off
Gals and comforting small favors on
small fry partisans, but let us look
to the good of the public service in
our municipal election. We can't
afford to monkey with such small
matters.
We have had the best Mayor and
council we have ever had in the his
tory of Morgantown. We believe
they are every one Republicans with
a single exception; but that don't
amount to row of pins, and if it
did, we couldn't help it. We would
be glad to see the old council elected
on its merits. We would be glad to
see rousing public endorsement
AS for the Mayor-we can't do
without him. He is every inch q
Mayor, and that is saying good
deal, for he stands about six feet in
his stockings.
To turn down our present Mayor
would be nothing short of a public
calamity. 1t would be as rash and
unreasonable as any act we could
commit.
But we don't think there is any
danger of his turning down. We
think the public appreciate his zeal,
his public spirit, his studious care
of our public interests, his active,
personal supervision, and his cour
age to do the thing that ought to be
DONE
He will have no opposition.
And he ought not to have.
