HOFFMAN'S GOODBYE
TO HIS SWEETHEART.
THEN HE WAS SHOT TO DEATH.
Mistaken for Burglar at Waynesburg.
The Young Farmer Killed by Jeweler
Pipes, Of Waynesburg.
Mistaken for a Burglar at Waynesburg.
Washington Observer.

On Saturday evening Porter Hoff-
man, reputable and well-to do
young farmer of about nineteen years
&C age, who resides one mile from
Waynesburg went to that town to
call upon Miss Emma Berryhill,
daughter of VIM. Berryhill, shoe
merchant. He hitched his horse in
the alley in the rear of the residence
of W. Slater Pipes, leading jeweler
of that place, whose property ad-
joins that of Mr. Berryhill. After
spending several pleasant hours in
company with Miss Berryhill, he left
the house about IL o'clock Going
back to the alley he struck match
to light cigar At this time he
was near the stable on the rear end
of Pipes lot. just at the moment
Pipes appeared at the second story
window of his residence and fired at
Hoffman with a revolver Hoffman
realizing his danger. started to run
down the alley, when Pipes fired a
second shot which entered his back
under the right shoulder blade,
passed through his right lung and
came out just below the ribs. Hoff-
man was instantly killed. Charles
Minor, baggage master on the W. q
W. railway, heard the shot and ran
into the alley to find out what was
the matter. He stumbled over Hoff-
mans PROSTATE body and raised
him up, but found that life had al
ready gone. The news of the shooting
spread through the quiet town like
wildfire and large crowd soon col
lected upon the spot. Pipes was i'm
mediately placed under arrest and
committed to Jail. His explanation
of the affair is that his stable had
been robbed recently of various arti-
cles. He heard noise, which be
supposed was made in it, and going
to the window saw man with a
lighted match in his hand. Suppos-
ing him to be burglar, he fired.
One thing that is not explained is
the fact that Pipes was well ac-
quainted with Hoffman, knew that
he was in the habit of visiting Miss
Berryhill, and hitching his horse at
the rear of his lot. Hoffman s
brother is clerk in Pipes jewelry
store and Hoffman was a frequent
visitor at that establishment. The
affair has created tremendous SEN
sation in Waynesburg, as the parties
are all well known and have exten
sive family connections, Pipes is
about thirty-fiye years old and has
been married to a daughter of L. c.
Reagen of the Independent, and is a
brother of Capt. John r. Pipes, of
the 140th P. V. v, who is now door
keeper of the U. S. Senate. He has
been married for four years, and has
one child a year old. He has many
relatives in Washington coanty.
Hoffman was fine looking and
highly respected young man and was
very popular in the town.
Before living in Waynesburg Mr..
Pipes kept jewelry store in Clays-
vile, where he is well known.

Patr0nize Home Industries.

Next to the deep abiding interest
which every man has in his individ-
ual possessions is the pride and sat
isfaction he feels in seeing his town
prosper and it's people happy. Too
many men, selfish in the extreme, are
envious of their neighbours prospect
ty, and hence we see many who pa
tronize foreign establishments for
everything they need rather than
buy at home and help their own
town, Many articles that are
bought elsewhere are no better or
cheaper than those offered by home
dealers. This shortsightedness does
not permit them to see that their
interests are Unidentified with those
with whom they are continually
coming in contact in the everyday
affairs of life.
Now it seems to us that a man in
the community in which he lives
can get anything good enough for
himself without sending away to
other places for it. Every resident
should take sufficient interest in the
town in which he lives to do his
trading and thus keep the money in
circulation in his own community.
In short, if you want to kill a town
and invite hard times to your door
import everything you can and ex-
port as little as possible. Patronize
your home business men and me-
chanics, and see what difference it
will make.

How Bonner Became Millionaire.

Mr.. Robert Bonner inserted, in the
year 1855 and later, many full pages
in the New York dailies, repeating
short advertisement making a col
umn or more, each separate adver-
tisement beginning with two line
letter. This made the page look at
tractive, and no one could open the
paper without being impressed by
The Ledger's announcements. This
had never before been done, and it
made quite sensation. The Ledger
and what Mr.. Bonner was doing was
talked about everywhere. Some con-
tended it was foolish waste of mon
ey-that the repetition was unneces
sary. Such persons were asked if
they would have talked about it, and
had their curiosity aroused sufficient.
~ to induce them to buy The Led
ger, If there had only been one adj
vertisement instead of hundred in
the same paper? Certainly this kind
Of advertising aroused universal de
sire to see The Ledger ! remember
one page that was set in squares like
a checker board, every alternate
square being a blank space. This
was at the time great curiosity.
The result of this advertising, the
extraordinary merit of the paper, and
the enterprise of Mr. Bonner in Sc
curing such great array Of talent
in writing for it, brought the circu
lation Of The Ledger at one time ~
to 350, 900 copies, which was 100000
copies more than any other paper

The Teachers's Institute.

The Monongalia county Teachers
Institute was one of the most inter
esting and profitable in the history
of these occasions. There was a
very full attendance, and both in
the number and character of the
teachers in attendance there was a
marked improvement over previous
years. There is higher grade of
scholarship manifested in the teach
ers of this county every year. The
intellectual faces and the general APP
pea1an of this body of public ser
wants was creditable to the profess
sion and encouraging to the friends
of the public schools. The great
drawback to the improvement and
development Of the teaching force in
this as well as other counties is the
uncertainty and precarious nature
of their employment. They have
no assurance of their positions be-
You'd the year for which they are
employed. When the year closes
they are all out of job so far as
they can determine. They must
spend large part of the years in
come in attending an institute Then
they must submit to an examination
to determine whether they are quail
flied for what they have previously
been tested; and even if they pass
muster in this respect it is still a
question whether they will have any
place for them. They must spend
the summer months in waiting un-
der the uncertain chances of getting
employment for the winter. OF
course such an ordeal is bound to
drive the best, most competent and
enterprising out of the profession.
Only those who are out OF job, as
rule, and have nothing else in sight
remain in the ranks. Even with
steady employment it is a from
hand to mouth" kind of existence,
There must be an improvement in
this direction before the best talent
can be secured for our public schools.
Considering these conditions it was
a little surprising to find so intelli-
gent and well equipped body of men
and women representing the teach
ers of this county, as were gathered
together at the Institute. Many of
them, we learn however, declined to
stand the examination for another
year. So that at the next institute
another and different body will be
present. We hope it will be as cred
| liable as the last one.

Guenther Sehnelle, the Murderer of
DR.. Schuehardt, of Wheeling.
ENDS HIS OWN EXISTENCE
At the H0sital for the Insane at Yves

WESTON, W. VA. Aug. 27.-When
DIR. Warder made his regular round
through his ward in the pospital
for the insane this morning, he found
Guenther Schnelle, an inmate, and
the murderer OF his uncle, DR.. Schuc-
hardt, in Wheeling some years ago
in comparatively good health, but
suffering from some slight ailment
His remark "Shoot me here" point
ing to his forehead at the exact spot
where the ball from his murderous
weapon struck his uncle, was not
given any credence. just after the
doctor left his room, Schnelle took
the sheet from his bed, and mount
ing stool tied it to the inside iron
window guard, then around his neck.
He kicked the stool from under
him and swung himself into enterni-
ty. Evidence goes to show that the
act was premeditated
The attendant found Schnelle
swinging but a few minutes after
his act and cut him down. Every
effort was employed to restore life,
but with no avail. The coroner
summoned judged the case not nee
essary for an investigation. His
funeral will take place at the hospital
burial grounds. 1t will be remem-
bered that Schnelle was brought
here from the Moundsville peniten-
tiary, where he was sent for the muir

Where Modesty Is Out of Place.

Apropos of the Hon. Thomas B.
Reeds remarks on advertising made
at the dinner of the Federal club,
the New York Sun says: "Modesty
is out of place in an advertiser His
business is to recommend his goods
and to put his advertisement of them
in the most alluring and convincing
form that occurs to him. If he habit
ually eXaggerates his customers will
find him out in time and will cease
to be attracted by his advertisements
but habitual understatement is not
required of him."

Committed Suicide.

The Fayette Free Press says
"Oat Thompson, a young man liv-
ing at Cirtsville, committed suicide
by shooting himself, one day last
week. He claimed that he killed a
man in Nicholas county and said he
had but few hours to live and went
in the store, belonging to Amos Will
liams, procured a revolver and shot
himself. 1t is also rumored that a
woman refused to marry him, and
caused him 10, end his life, as above
stated. 1t is thought that the latter
is the true cause.
