Old Hundred Then and Now.

The Waynesburg Republican telll
the story as follows of how a skill
full artisans greed for gain got hin
into trouble:
Earnest Hundredmark has beer
at his home in Waynesburg for sev
eral days. He removed to Waynes
burg with his family several years
ago and no complaint was heard
against him as resident until BEEF
began to be sold illegally in hil
house. He has a good trade, that O
upholsterer, and could earn a good
living for himself and family if hi
would pursue a lawful occupation.
Up to the time the beer selling
was commenced, he had always had
plenty of work to do in the regular
line Of his trade. He had been EN-
ployed at upholstering and finishing
furniture and sewing carpets. He
took and completed several contracts
for the repairing of passenger cars
and upholstering car seats for the
W. & W. R. R. Company. One OF
two cars were built here and finish
ed throughout by him. As work
man he had no competition here
But greed for making money, we
presume, induced him 10 begin beer
selling, in violation of the law, and
he can tell perhaps, better than any
one else whether the experience has
paid him or not. He was enabled to
buy lot aud build a new brick
house. But for violation of the IL
cense law he has served six months
sentence in the Greene county Jail,
and we are told that but for the fact
that the deed for his house and lot
is in his wife's name fine of $500
imposed, would have been collected.
His incarceration in West Virginia
prisons is the result of selling beer
just over the State line, three miles
from Mt Morris.

An Old Landmark Gone,

The old Rebecca Swisher house on
Falling run was burned to the ground
last Saturday morning at 10 o'clock.
The house was occupied by George
Fleming and family. The house
caught from a defective aue and
soon the flames consumed it and
all its contents. The fire had big
Roadway before discovered and by
the time help arrived it was beyond
hope of being saved. The house was
about one-fourth Of a mile from the
University and was one of the oldest
in this community. Mrs. Swisher
lived in it for many years until a
few months ago, when she went to re-
side with hers on in Morgan county.
She still owned the place and will
miss the regular rental remittance,
small though it was. There was no
insurance.

The Marion County Murder.

In last weeks paper we gave an
account Of the shooting of Miss
Amanda Toothman by Clifton James
who was in company with the girl
and Solomon and Charles Wright.
The girl died on Monday oflast week.
She was rational till the last and
had no other explanation than that
the shooting was intentional and
giving particulars. The young men
are all in the Fairmon Jail. They
claim that the shooting was alto
gether accidental. They will await
in prison the action Of the grand jury.
It is believed that there was no
intention of killing the girl, the boy
thinking to scare her by shooting
to thus induce her to remain with
him all night. The young men are
of good families and the affair is in
every sense deplorable.

argument for the opposition of the

from some years ago. 1t took old
men to do everything then, now the
greatest enterprises and beneficial
matters concerning the town are
started and put through to success
full finish by the young men, and l
can say in this connection, by young
men other than natives of the town.
In few months past there have
been young, sprightly, thorough bus
mess men who have SHE'D their cas-.
tor into our business arena and
whose successes have been achieved
by complete ignoring of the princi-
Piles of their older predecessors.
This has proved contagious, as in
our own young men have new, bright
business tactics been practiced from
the examples of the ones from away.
1t has instilled in them better and
more progressive notions of business.
This leads me to state that this is a
young mans town; the young men
are the powers which are bringing to
light grand business revolution
that will make us prosperous. Re-
fleet little and you will readily see
that all this is true. We note many
new improvements, but do we consid-
er to whose efforts are due the cred.

result in an opinion in favor of the
young men. We note all these chan

to tell you in earnestncss that the
old fogies and moss backs that we
formerly tolerated will have less to
say each succeeding year and our
progress will be commensurate with

A DISTRESSING occurrence took
place at Montana mines last Satur-
day night. A little three year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Nelson
McElroy was taken with a bad
cough in the early part of the night,
and young nurse girl employed in
the family administered what she
supposed was a dose of cough mix

stead dose of carbolic acid. The
fatal error was at once apparent,
and DIR. Cook, of Rivesville, was
hastily summoned, but nothing
could avail to conteract the awful
effects of the poison. The child
fingered for eight hours in intense
agony and finally expired. The

The Child was an exceedingly bright
