A "Tony" Prisoner.

Every one knows that Sheriff
Jackson has been unusually kind to
the prisoners who baye been incar-
ceratcd in the jail here. TO those
who have been delicate and sick
from the confinement has MIR.
Jackson been especially good.
But he has struck n "bird" now
who is so exceptionally nice and
sensitive that the Sheriff cannot
please him, with even the delicacies
of the season. This is Marsh
Spindler. He has been sick most
Of the time since his return to Jail
and Sheriff Jackson has seen that
he be furnished with a variety, as
well as delicate food. Spindler
called for soup on Friday, COM
planning of a poor appetite. and af-
ter receiving it, decided that it did
not suit his own fastidious taste
and thereupon elected the bowl
through the iron door in such Il
manner as to throw the contents all
over the front hall of the Jail, at
the same time violently denouncing
his bill of fare. Mr.. Jackson pro-
ceeded to read the riot act to Spind-
Ter which the rascal Justly deserved.
The man does not know when he
does receive good treatment and
the Sheriff would do!right in CON
fining him to cell for while on
bread and water.

A RUNAWAY.
A kingwoOd Young Lady has a Mar.
row Escape From Death.

Special Correspondence OF the ARous
At Bruceton on Monday evening.
Miss Laura Parks of Kingwood,
and Miss Mollie Gibson, of Union
town, were horseback riding, and
on their return, about s O'Clock as
they rode down Main street, had
quite dangerous runaway. Miss
Parks, who is the guest of Miss
Anna Armstrong, was riding Mr..
Will Armstrong; thoroughbred
Kentucky horse "Canto," and Miss
Gibson, who is visiting Miss Feath-
or rode his other famous horse
Frank" 1t seems that the young
ladies were not accustomed TO
hcrses, and these two which had
been "speed" horses were unusual
ly fractions. The animals became
frightened at some object on the
side walk and came tearing down
Main street at fearful speed.
The ladies were doing their best to
obtain control of the horses, and
the passers-by ran into the street
making frantic efforts to stop them
before they reached the bridge.
The cries of "whoa" had no effect
but finally the animals slowed their
mad speed and the fair riders were
able to turn Thorn into n side alley
which prevented catastrophe at
the bridge. The people who saw
the scene were quite alarmed for the
safety of the ladies. But the young
ladies themselves were but little
frightened, really not knowing their
danger until afterward. Miss Parks
saddle was in danger of turning,
but did not como off the horse. The
ladies presented a charming appear
ance as they were assisted to aIight,
having lost their caps and having
rosy cheeks and disheveled hair.

The Kingwood school.

The Kingwood Academy opened
last Monday, with an enrolment of
over a hundred pupils, under the
instruction of Prof. Ct. A. Crichet
Principal Miss Mile Clark, LIST
assistant Miss Ida NJ. Spahr, I'd
assistant. The day was fine and the
opening Of the term was an auspi-
cious one. The attendance was fair,
the building and school property is
in splendid condition, and we hope
for successful term of school. The
Principal made few brief and per-
tinent remarks, read the rules and
regulations Of the school az laid
down by the trustees, Mr.. Dawson
made a short speech on behalf Of the
School Board, and after devotional
exercises, the work Of grading and
classifying the school was taken up
by the teachers.
Prof. Crichet comes highly rec
commended and has considerable ex-
perience as teacher, and while
there Seems to be some prejudice
against him, we think it no more
than fair to give him a fair trial be-
fore condemning him, and perhaps
he can live down the rumored dis
satisfaction that is said to exist n
some quarters against him. This is
probably due to his being n stranger
and coming from a distance, most Of
our people thinking that home
teacher should have been given the
position, but the trustees claim that
Prof. Crichcts credentials we're the
best that were presented them
However, the school has started of
very nicely, and let us wait and see
tho result before Offering any opin-
ion either way.
