Brownsville Sensation.

Brownsville is enjoying sensation
in which one of the most prominent
families in the town figure as the
principals. One of the wealthiest
families of the place is the Bowman
family, who have for generations been
the bankers of the place They reside
in large building, built in the style
Of castle, occupying most promi-
nent location overlooking the town
and commanding fine view extend
ing for miles up and down the Mon
ongahela. The Bowmans have long
been the most prominent members
of the oldEpiscopal church of Browns
vile, which they virtually owned.
Recently they began to think their
lot in the church burying ground too
limited, and they decided to enlarge
it by digging up the mortal remains
of some of Brownsville's former citi-
zens, who had rested in peace in their
graves some fifty years. Some of the
descendants of the people whose dust
was disturbed by the invading mat
took oflthe Bowman's learned of the
dissertation of the graves of their an
cestors. After satisfying themselves
as to the truthfulness of the rumor,
they lost no time in having all the
members of the Bowman family ar
rested and placed under bond for
their appearance at court to answer
the charge of disinterring the dead.
The prosecutors are prominent ard
wealthy people of Wheeling, and they
promise to push the matter as far as
the law will allow. The matter has
created considerable talk in the staid
old town.

How do American Manufacturers Like
This?

Here is a remarkable statement by
our brilliant contemporary, the
Morning Advertiser. 1t says:
The English manufacturer. finding
that he can no longer operate his
mills to an advantage in Great Brits
ain, will, according to the Herald's
logic, put out his fires, lock his doors
and go out of business.
Why should he do thisp Has he
made money enough already? If so,
why is he keeping his mill in oper
alton today
No; the English manufacturer is
no fool, does not desire to go out of
business, and if he finds he cannot
make money in one place will hunt
up another where the conditions are
more favorable to him.
1t then proceeds to the assertion
that the English manufacturer, 'who
is no fool" will shut up his mills in
Great Britain and build new mills in
this country. "He will come to Amer
ica," says our contemporary.
That is worse than ever. We
thought matters were bad enough be-
fore, when the mill hands were to
come over here and drive wages down
by Cutting the labor market, but the
Morning Adcertiser declares that not
only the operatives but the owners
are coming over.
The American manufacturer has
favored high tariff because he sup
posed he would get some measure of
protection out of it. But what will
he say when told that high tariff
has two logical and inevitable results,
first, to shut up foreign mills and
food US with cheap labor-a result
which is rather agreeable to him be-
cause by scaling down the price of a
days work he can add to his own
profits-and second, to fill the coun-
try with foreign mill owners, which
will increase competition and reduce
the manufactured article to price
which will render profit impossible?
We thought the picture was quite
dark enough when we predicted that
the high tariff would bear down heav-
lily on the whole laboring class, but
our republican contemporary assures
US that the picture should be made
darker still, and that not only foreign
labor is to compete with American
labor bnt that foreign mill owners
are preparing to come here to claim
! a share OF the profits Of American
mill owners Herald.

SUES FOR A DIVORCE.
A Denouement i'm Sensational Case
ut East Liverpool.

A Pittsburg paper announces that
suit has been begun In that city for
divorce by Mrs. Carrie Fleming
against Hale Fleming of East Liver
pool. The charge of desertion and
non-support is made. The case is
one that has attracted considerable
attention. Mrs. Fleming was the
daughter of Rev. G. G. Westfall, a
prominent member ofthe M. p church
located at Fairmont. She was q pop
ular belle, and there she eloped with
Hale Fleming a prominent young
business man Of that place. The
couple removed to East Liverpool,
where Fleming went into business
and prospered. Mrs. Fleming was q
very handsome woman and the recip.
lent of many ATTENTIONS from men,
which it is claimed she did not dis
courage. These caused considerable
trouble between her and her husband,
which finally eliminated in separ-
alton, attended by sensational scenes.
Since then Mrs. Fleming has been
living with her father, who has been
stationed at Pittsburg.-Neaos.

A UNIoxT0uN GIRLS



Some months ago an account of
Alice Sisters attempt to commit sui
eide was given in these columns.
The girl alleged then thst she CON-
mitted the rash act ON account Of
i'll treatment by relatives.
A few evenings ago she again
tried 1t, drinking . bottle of lauda-
mum in the presence ofthe lady with
whom she lived. From the Union
town Standard we clip the follow
ing in reference to the matter:
"In few minutes the fortunate
girl became unconscious. The Drs.
Sturgeon were quickly summoned
and arrived at Mr.. Halfhilrs house
about half an hour after Alice had
drunk the laudanum. The girl was
then unconscious and her pulse was
very weak.
The doctors applied the stomach
pump and by this means got all the
laudanum out of her stomach. An
electric battery was then applied,
but for almost an hour it appeared
as though the last spark had fed.
Gradually, as the electric current
rushed through the body, the pulse
became stronger and more regular,
and her respiration grew stronger
and stronger At the end of two
hours work the physician succeeded
in restoring the girl to consciousness
and life, but they continued with her
for another hour.
Alice did not say much after she
revived last night but spoke more
freely this morning. She told Mrs.
Halfhill to-day that she had a bottle
half full of laudanum and that while
she was out at the hydrant some
young man came along and filled the
bottle with whiskey and told her
to drink it.
She complied then and there by
drinking the whisky and laudanum.
That dose, the girl contends, dazed
her and induced her to drink the
bottlefull in the sitting room. This
is Alice's own story, and is pretty
theory, but doesn't look reasonable,
as she seemed pretty sensible when
she entered the sitting room. Alice
uses laudanum regularly, and for
this reason she always has it at hand
She told Mrs. Halfhill day or SO
ago that she had many sorrows tina,
at times almost broke her down, and
that lsudanum gave her the only re
lieffrom them
DR.. John Sturgeon was seen To-
day and stated that Alice had taker
an ounce of laudanum, enough ts
cause death, and If he had been q
minutes later she would have beer
dead.
| 1t was intimated today that ther,
is something yet unknown to thu
public which is preying upon thu
unfortunate girls mind which hal
twice induced her to attempt suicide
1t may yetappear that her treatmen
by her relatives is in measure re
sponsible for the girls resh conduct.

Our spicy contemporary the
ATHENAEUM, is gaining favor with
the public. 1t will add to its al
ready good reputation, very much
during the current year.
The Morgantown brass band has
brought suit against c. Y. Bishop, of
Kingwood, for fees and expenses in
playing on public occasion at King
wood two years ago, on Mr.. Bishops
invitation, and who, it is claimed by
the plaintiffs, guaranteed a certain
amount and the expenses. Bishop
sent check for the amount, but it
was not honored at the Kingwood
bank Hence the suit.
SOME of the citizens living near
the mouth of Vests run want a
bridge built on the county road to
cross the railroad, which will make
deep cut in crossing the county
road at that point.
IT would cost 81 500 mile to
grade to level road on the bot
toms of the west side from West
Morgantown to Granville. For 49,
900 then that much talked of and
variously planned road could be
built, and it would be the finest in
all this neck of the woods. 1t
would increase the value of property
all along the route double what it
would sell for now.
A VALUABLE horse belonging to
M. Fl. Carraeo died on Sunday.
Our correspondent at Pleasant
Valley is requested to send the items
as proposed. All matter sent the
New DOMINION is not used; in fact
we frequently cannot use half of it,
but are always glad to have what
would interest any of our readers.
A CORRESPONDENT from Manning
ton says that, once more our city is
enjoying season of business activ.
ity, and after the quiet which reign
ed for few months it is especially
noticeable. Mcdonald seems to be
steadily on the decline. Fairview
is not overrun with the valuable
fluid, SO Warrington is coming
boldly to the front as the oil center
of this belt. Quite number of old
wells are being drilled to the Cor
don and the fifth sands, and on the
success of these wells will depend
largely the future success of the
field. Although it is almost impos-
sible to get any information from
those familiar with the oil situation
the car loads of casing and pipe ar
irving daily speaks more than words.

A Wild Turkey Call With Fatal
Perfection.

While hunting in the mountains
last Thursday afternoon George
Gates of Fairchance, was shot and
instantly killed. Gates secreted
himself in brush pile and began
calling like turkey, common de-
coy trick among hunters. A man
named Dills, who was also out shoot
ing, heard the supposed turkey call
and carefully stalked the cover from
whence it came. He approached to
within few rods of the heap of
brush, and locating the sound as
accurately as possible, fired load
of buckshot into the brush. Several
of the shot penetrated Gates neck
and killed him where he lay. The
dead man was well-known con-
tractor.

Prohibition Meeting.

There was meeting under the
auspices of the Prohibitionists here
on Thursday evening of last week,
that was attended by very large
number of our people who were en-
tertained by addresses by Miss Van
dalia Varnum, correctly termed "the
queen of the American platform,
and Hon. Frank Burt, who was the
candidate of his party for governor
of the state, and also with vocal mu-
steal numbers, the sentiments OF
which were for the Prohibition cause
by Mrs. Graham.
Mr.. Burt's address was not extend
ed, but he impressed the people with
his sincerity in the cause. Miss Var
mum spoke for over al hour, and she
showed herself thoroughly qualified
and equipped for handling political
matters from her standpoint. Her
speech was full of logic, humor, sar-
castle hits at both of the great par
ties, and delivered in splendid man
ner.
OF the people present great ma
jority we're sympathisers of the prohi-
bition movement who do not believe
in taking the matter to the polls,
aside from the few who are political
prohibitionists. There would be more
political prohibitionists if the aboli-
ton of the liquor traffic could be &C
complished in that way.
The meeting, however, was sue
cess so far as interesting and enter
tanning the audience is concerned.
