Coon Hollow to the front.

The Uniontown Genius says that
evil doing is reported from Coon
Hollow. We had hoped that when
the Democrats carried the county,
this place would become peaceful
and peaceable. 1t will probably take
some time for the Democratic leaven
to get in its work on the Hollow.
Charles Flower who is a resident
of the Hollow stole some money from
Clement Graft last week and when
deputy Sheriff Allen went over to ar
rest him, he opened fire upon him
and succeeded in getting away by
shooting and running fast. He got
to Fairchance where he was arrested
by Milt Mccormick and brought to
Jail. He shot Allen in the heel of
the shoe, but the wound is not dan
gerous Allen tried to shoot the col
ored Flower, but failed to hit him"

Still After the Thieves Who Robbed
Thomas Page.

The special officers whom Sheriff
Jones deputized to hunt the negroes
who had robbed Thomas Page, Of
Fairmont, the day before Thanks
giving, have not ceased their effort:
to capture the guilty highwaymen
They have not been caught, and il
is probably that they are now In

shertir Hare,s Deputies.

There is well defined rumor, but
still the report is unauthentic that
the selection Of deputies to be made
by the incoming sheriff will be Jas.
S. Watson for the east side of the
river and John G. Barrackman for
the west side. The report further
is that the sheriff viii occupy the
residence in town which is intended
as the place Of abode of that official.
1t may be stated that these all are
straight tips.

Regular Episcapa. Services.

Rev. C. c. Pearson, formerly OF
Bellaire, Ohio, has, with his wife,
come to Morgantown to permanently
reside. He preached his first sermon
as the Rector of Trinity Episcopal
church on Sunday. Hereafter the
Episcopal congregation will have
regular services every other Sunday,
Mr.. Pearson alternating the services
by Sundays here and at Grafton.
This is the first time for several
months that the Episcopalians have
been able to announce regular
preaching services, and this is the
first time in the history Of the church
that its Rector has resided in this
town. Mr.. and Mrs. Pearson are at
the Wallace House. The people Of
Morgantown are pleased to welcome
them.

HE KNEW A TRICK OR TWO.
How Greene County School Teacher
Got Even with Two Sharps.

From Waynesburg comes word of
the neat job which two well known
young bloods of that place put ON an
unsuspecting school teacher last
Saturday. One of the hotels was
the scene of the episode. These two
young men may, it seems, have been
anxious for some time to gain
wealth by methods which are ques-
ticnable, but which if successful,
bring big profits on short invest
ments. AS the story goes they in
weighed the teacher into game of
cards, and managed to run in cold
deck. AS consequence the peda-
gogue was swindled out of good
sum of money,
At this stage Of the game the
young man caught on to the trick "
He said nothing, but going out on
the street procured revolver. Hunt
ing up his late companions in the
game of poker, he demanded that
they ''ante up" the amount they had
swindled aim out of, and not satisf-
ed with this charged them 81 usury
for the brief time they had used his
money, remarking at the same time
that while his vocation in life was
to teach the young ideas how to
shoot, he had given some attention
to the matter OF shooting with 3 re-
volver. Then he strobe out of the
place with the remark that while he
was green country boy he had
followed the band wagon on many
occasions and seldom got left" The
young sports are sa'a to have been
so disccmtitted that they are talking
of going out West where school
teachers are net so numerous. The
would be victim is scarcely to be
com amended for engaging in game
of cards for money, but the lesson
oe taught bis opponents may cause
his card playing habit to be over
looked.

SUIT THAT WILL SHOW
How Two Dollars and Sixty Cents can
Grow to One Hundred.

For costs in suit which was orig
inally for $3.50, but which are now
over 500, is the condition of an ac-
ton which the next circuit court will
have to decide. If this matter had
been compromised by one or the 9TH
er of the parties giving in at first,
but little over two dollars would
have had to be paid. AS it is now
one or the other will have to pay
over one hundred dollars.
Such are the caprices and con-
struction to be put on the applica-
tion of stern and unrels nting law as
at present existing. The case in
question is as interesting as peculiar,
and this being great family news

In years gone by Isaac A. Powell

ers defendant in a suit before Squire
Jacobs, who at that time carried on
the judiciary business in West Nor
gantown. Powell beat Corrothers,
and Corrothers paid off the Judgment
and costs, and got a receipt in full.
But it so happened that a witness
fee bill for $3.50 had not been includ-
ed in the first taxing up of the costs,
and this was assigned to Corrothers
by the witness. Corrothers demand
ed payment from Powell and was re-
fused. Corrothers sued for the $3.50
and got judgment. New hearing was
granted, and Corrothers beat again.
Powell again got a rehearing, and
was defeated. This was the third
time that Corrothers had got judg-
ment, and this put the costs up in
the century notch.

junction from Judge Hagans restrain.

Sheriff Jones and bis deputies have

payers of the county and collecting
the amount each is assessed to pay
for the benefit of our county and

residents of the various districts
how much in taxes is to be collected
for 1892, and what the levy is for the
different purposes for which it is to
be expended. The amounts given
are the aggregate of the assessment
on both real estate and personal
property, that is to say the full

If it be true that real estate is sci
ling at laReI figure than ever before
in Morgantown, it would seem that
now is the time to buy. 1t is good
thing for growing town to have
real estate within the reach ~ the
average buyer. The fact of fictitious
values being put on property at Fair
mont is what made the lot sale there
a delusion and snare. 1t simply
didn't amount to shucks. A lesson
can be learned from that experience.
Keep property at price something
near its worth, and those who want
to can sell. The opening of the B.
Il |. companv's lots for sale will be
glorious success if the prices are
made reasonable.

The gossip's tongue is sometimes
mild enough to simply imply ard in
sinuate with no particular pain to
ensue to the victim; at others it is
keen and remorselessly cutting and
the object is made to suffer all the
agony that obtains TO good name
wantonly assailed. This latter spe-
cies Of gossip has been at work in
our n dst OF late. Calumnious re-
ports have spread, and the ground
for it all seems to have been procur-
ed in the broad field of fiction, where
the gossip whose regard for veracity
is an unknown quantity may find
anything be wants. The only guilt
of some splendid people is TO make a
deserving effort for an honest. liyli-
hood. But if the gossip of the keen
and cutting variety takes exception
to this sort of action great deal OF
suffering may be caused. Morgan
town has had glowing example Of
the merciless treatment that should
be accorded the more terrible kind
of gossip.

The trustees of the M. 4. church
decided to not lease for the recent
musical attraction which was here
their place Of worship. The grounds
for the decision was simply that it
is place of worship. No criticism
can be offered because authorities
allow church to be the scene of
lectures, concerts, DC, and no criti-
cism can be offered to one that does
not. Its the business of any partic-
ular church, and no ones business
else. The NJ. f. church Of this
place, however, is in p peculiar
predicament in this regard. just
before it was so deliberately repaired
there were those who subscribed very
literally and with the understanding
that when the main auditorium was
completed it should be used for none
but religious purposes. The agree
ment is being lived up to as it should
be.
