First Accident From Gas,

Marshall M. Dent, book keeper at
the Experiment Station, is laid up
at his home very seriously burned
by natural gas. Last Monday he
attempted to light the gas fire to
heat his Office and in some manner
turned too much of the combustible
on, which pulled out in quite little
explosion and singed the gentleman's
beard and eye brows off and burned
his eyes painfully. Ifyou see Marsh
with his face shaved you'll know the
cause.

WIN. Robson, . Well-to-Do Farmer,
cf Onion District, Alleged to be
Chilly Of an Assault ON IA
Year-Old Girl.

Last Saturday Mary, the 14-year-
old daughter of major" Haney, re-
siding near Stewartstown, went be-
fore Squire Hayes, at his Office in
Morgantown and charged that on a
night not far remote William Robi-
son had made an unsuccessful at
tempt to commit rape upon her. She
relates her side of the tale as follows:
She was employed at Robison's
house as domestic, and one even
ing Robison's wife and children left
home for visit, to be gone all night
thus leaving no one in the house but
herself and the man mentioned. She
retired for the night, and was awak
ened from calm and peaceful repose
to the horrible revelation that man
was in bed with her, and then and
there did struggle in an attempt to
ravish her In short while Robi-
son desisted from his purpose
and things moved on quietly until
be was arrested and then there was
steaming stew raised.
Mr.. Robson has always been
considered one of the most substan-
tial. honest and upright citizens in
the community in which he resides
and heretofore aught has never been
said against him to defame the good
name thus earned. AS the matter
stands, it is even thought and firmly
believed by many that the case is
one of deliberate blackmail.
After being brought before the
justice, Robson waived examina-
ton and gave recognizance Of $500
for his appearance at court. A New
DOMINION reporter gained the gentle
mans attention and he said, in sub
stance, that the charges were false
in every particular, and because the
girls family knew that he was worth
some considerable money the case
was trumpet up to suit the occas
ion of Mrs. R. being from home and
thus bleed him for the money
through scare and that he wouldn't
scare worth cent.
The case will elicit good deal of
interest at the next term of court,
where it will likely be shown wheth-
er or not Robson is guilty of the
base charge brought by Mary Haney.

State Superintendent Morgan, in
the March number of the School
Journal, says:
We desire to call the attention of
the readers of the Journal to the
advertisement of the State Normal
Institute, which appears on 14th
page of this issue, and then ask
them to tell all of their friends about
the grand opportunities afforded the
teachers Of the State in this summer
Normal School. 1t is no use for you
to spend your money and time to go
to Saratoga, Asbury Park and nu-
merous other expensive places, when
you can find equal or superior ad-
vantages right here at home. You
can not find better advantages no
matter where you go. Your entire
expenses for the six weeks at Nor
gantown will be less than your
board at either of the places men
toned for two or three weeks. If
you have any idea of teaching, or if
you desire better to fit yourself for
the work of teaching, make your ar
rangements to attend this State In
stitute. Send at once to Prof. Edw.
S. Elliott for catalogue, and secure
your boarding and lodging for six
weeks, to begin June 18th.

was appointed to the Naval Acade

Henry G. Davis.
Lieutenant Brown was the execu
tive officer of the Trenton, which was
Admiral Kimberly's flagship, ant
was the best wooden vessel in thu
American navy-the best ship of thu
