Last Sunday morning Clifton
James, Saul and Charles Wright
induced Amanda d. Toothman, q
young woman Of somewhat question
able character, living near Farming
ton, to go with them to the oil well
on Davies run, where they remained
till late at night. She desiring to
return home, under protest the young
men accompanied her, james threat
ening to shoot her. When near the
mouth of Dunkard Mill run, one
mile east of Pennington, pistol
was discharged by james taking eff
feet in the back of the girls neck
and lodging in her breast. Miss
Toothman fell to the ground and
became insensible. She was taken
home in buggy by the young men.
The girls ante-mortem statement
was taken yesterday, wherein she de-
clares that the shot was intentional
No hopes are entertained for her re-
covery.
The young men have been arrested
and are now in jail at this place.
The parties had all been drinking
and the details of the tragedy are too
revolving for publication.
Young james, who did the shoot
ing, is very well connected, and the
whole occurrence is of the most re-
grettable nature The unfortunate
girl is but 10 years of age and is
daughter of VIM. Toothman, who is
well known in this county. Judge
Hagans will have an interesting
murder case at Fairmont in the event
of the girls not recovering, which is
doubtful.

New Time Table.

The new time table on the B. Il
o. went into effect last Sunday and
there are some changes in the F., M.
d p trains. There are still three
incoming and three outgoing trains
each day, the first one leaving at 6
o'clock in the morning, the next at
$3.50 and the evening train leaves at
4:10 The first train coming down
is at 9:20, bringing our Wheeling
papers and other mail an hour earlier
than by the former arrangement and
making connections with the down
boats. In the afternoon a train ar
rives at 2:50 and after supper one at
1925.
Altogether the new time table is
the most convenient for Morgantown
people that we have had and the
connections at Fairmont are better
under the new schedule.

The Planning nilI. Foundry and Ma
chine shop Certain to Mater
iaIlxe.

The Committee men appointed
last week at the meeting of the bust
ness men have been busy workers
ever since. They were instructed to
raise Sc. and greater portion of
the amount has already been sub
scribed in shares Of $50 each.
As was mentioned last week, SIS,
600 are required to buy and set the
plant in operation. Perry S. Ty-
gard, of Pittsburg, agrees to raise
one-half Of this amount and pro-
poses that the remaining half be
raised by our people, a corporation
formed and each share holder get
his proportion of the earnings Of
the company. Mr.. Tygard has
number of articles which are pro-
posed to be manufactured and the
planning mill is to play the part of
making it pay from the first.
There were five men on the com
mittee to raise the money. They
went about their work with the idea
that it could not be attained, but
there has been quite an agreeable
change in their minds since setting
about their task, as they all seem
now to think that the small balance
to be subscribed will not be hard TO
procure and that the factory will be
in full operation in the spring
The people, instead of being adverse
to the project are heartily in favor
of it and substantiate this hearth
ness by good subscriptions. They
have come to fully realize that the
way of progress is by the industrial
line and they proclaim for factories.
Well, we are going to have this fac
tory, that's reasonably sure, and it
will prove that energy on the part of
our own citizens has at last been
awakened.
The business men of the town are
the ones who have subscribed to this
and, really, they are the
ones who will be benefited by il.
Business men want more business
and large factory invariably pro
duces that result in a town.
1T is estimated that it will take
$50 skilled artisans and laborers to
run the proposed factory. That
means an addition of four times
that many to onr population. Hence
the energetic work of the committee
and the readiness of the citizens to
subscribe. But there is yet little
Of the money that has not been sub
scribed. Should the remaining few
hundreds be put on the lists by the
end of this week, when it is thought
that it will be, the committee will at
once apply for a charter, draft arti-
cles of partnership with Mr.. Tygard
and proceed with the preparations
for erecting the establishment. By
this time next week it will be de-
finitely known whether it is factory
or no factory, with chances at the
present in favor of factory. Some
are sanguine enough to say it will
positively be built, and we think
the same thing.

Old Hundred Breaks Jail.
Clarksburg News,

Earnest Hundertmark, known as
"Old Hundred" who had just com
pleted thirty days sentence by
the United States Court for selling
whiskey, and William Matheny, who
was serving a four months term for
larceny, escaped from the Jail here
Monday night. Hundertmark' time
expired last Saturday but he is
wanted by the authorities Of Mon
ongalia county for selling whiskey
without license and on that day
they came here intending to take
him to Morgantown. Hundertmark
was sick, however, and it was be-
lieyed had severe case of fever.
His physicians said it would not do
TO move him and he remained in
cell in the Jail. He had to take
medicine every half hour and Ma
theny undertook to take care of him.
The cell had to be left unlocked to
enable Matheny to get to him and
administer the medicine and was SO
left on Monday night. Sometime
during the night the two men left
the cell and made hole through
the brick wall Of the Jail and made
their escape. Hundertmark lives in
Green county Pennsylvania and has
no doubt gone home where he will
be beyond the jurisdiction of the
Monongalia county authorities. 1t
is not known whether Matheny has
gone to his home in Doddridge coun-
ty or accompanied Hundertmark.
Matheny had been model prisoner
and was accorded many privileges
about the Jail being in Ill health.
Tailor Morris is in no wise to blame
for the escape. II he erred It was
on the eide Of humanity.

Class meetings at the M. E. church
are held every Sunday evening at

der this new arrangement has not

Blacksyille Planning Mill in Flames,

On Monday afternoon last at a.
bout 3 o'clock the planning mill at
Blacksmith, owned by r. S. Lantz,
ESQ.,, was found to be on fire, the
flames leapipg up in manner which
at once led to the belief that the in
side of the building was all ON fire.
Energetic men were soon at work
fighting the fire, and after some diff
Guilty succeeded in getting it extin-
guished. 1t was found that the fire
had originated from the outside at
the end of the building. AS no one
had been engaged at work in the
mill for some days the origin of the
fire is complete mystery, no clue
to its cause having been found. The
supposition is that some one may
carelessly have dropped cigar n
mong some ihflammable material
near the building, which ignited and
came in contact with the structure.
Mr.. Samuel Garner has charge of
the mill aynesburg Democrat.

University Notes.
BY OUR SPECIAL REPORTER


Since / have been at the Universe
ty have attended chapel very regu-
larly, and believe most of the other
boys have been faithful in their at
tendance. / thought it was custo
mary for the Professors to sit on the
rostrum during the religious exer-
cises and show by their example
that religion is worthy of respect of
the high as well as low.
But instead, only few Professors
sit in the back part of the hall with
heads ducked under the benches.
There are three or four members of
the faculty have not seen in chapel
since / have been here. Now if re-
ligion is good thing for me, l don't
see but what it would be good for
them. l don't object to going TO
chapel, but l think it would have a
good influence over some of those
who don't think much about relig-
ious matters, if all the members OF
the faculty would sit on the rostrum.
All would be more devotional and
would be very much more impressed
by the services. As matters stand
now, the few members of the faculty
who take active part in chapel exer-
cises appear on the rostrum; a few
others drop into the first seat after
entering with the air of one who is
discharging disagreeable duty and
wants it over as soon as possible;
while still others never show their
faces in chapel. Is this setting a
proper example before the students
or showing proper respect2
The co-eds are all doing well.
Some are leading their classes. Hur-
rah for the girls!
Since the reports are sent out
monthly we've got lot of new words
such as Doing well" "Only Mid
ding" ID bad"
One student asked another how
did you make it2 "F-a-i-r-ly we'll.
Why don't the students get up a
show or minstrel or something like
that and nave some fun?
The literary societies are both do
ing good work There are several
volunteers every meeting. The So
cieties will soon have election of off,
GERS and contestants.
Each also expects to have pub
lie performance soon.
1t. Avis's mathematics is making
some of the boys and girls very I'M
easy. l don't think he should make
his course so unreasonably hard.
Students can't give all their time to
his classes.
Reviewing commences this week
and the examinations are next week.
A great many of the students are
very nervous, the Professors are all
marking closer than before, and its
likely good many will fail. The
students now must make on a scale
of 10 each term, instead of averaging
Z for the year as heretofore
Quite a number of new students
are expected next term.
Lit. j. w. Francis who has been
sick for several weeks is again able
to attend his classes.
Mr.. Frank Snider now rooms in

A Runaway.

Last Thursday Clark c. Wade
and Evans Donley drove to this
place from Mt. Morris, using d. L.
Donley's span of spirited horses.
In the evening they started home
and some place between Collins Fer
ry and Mt. Morris the horses start
ed to run and could not be held in
check by the gentlemen in the bug
gy, and shortly both were thrown
out. The injuries sustained by each
were severe and painful, though not
serious. Mr.. Wade was in semi
unconscious state for several days,
the result Of injuries on the herd,
but we learn the skull is not fractur-
ed. Mr.. Donley has not quite re.
covered yet, he having received
many painful body bruises. The
horses were stopped by some men
who we're in advance and brought
back to where the injured men were
and they were taken to their homes
at Mt. Morris.
