FAIRNoNT, W. VA, January 2.-Three
very sad deaths have occurred IN our town
within the last few days,
The remains of the late Harrison Elem
ing who died very suddenly Wednesday,
night were laid to rest in Woodlawn GEM
etsY,v this morning. Mr. Fleming was one
of our most wealthy and prominent citi-
zens. and at the time Of his death was Pres
ideut Of the First National Bank. He
leaves a wife and four children.
Amea Shatfery, the infant daughter Of
Mir and Mrs. c. Sprigg Sands, died on
THURSDAY afternoon at the residence Of
!. e. Sands, in this place. The little one
had been sick for some time. The remains
we're buried in WOodlawu cemetery yester-
day afternoon at } o'clock.
Our community was shocked yesterday
III noon to hear Of the sudden and unex-
Dacted death OF jacob \. Gould, at his
mothers residence on Bridge street. Mr..
Gould had been sick but few days, being
taken with grip, which developed into con
Cestion of the lungs and caused his death.
He was a son Of Mrs. Hannah Gould and
was about "A years Of age. The funeral
will take place tomorrow Sunday after
noon. and the burial will take place az
Woodlawn Cemetery.

world, as Arion flashed like meteor
across the horse armament, and at the
very outset gave promise of becoming
record breaker. When he marched to a
record Of 2:254 the effort was so easy
that all who saw IL were convinced that
Electioneer's greatest son stood before
them. Still it is safe TO say that not one
in the throng expected Arion to place
the two-year-Old stallion record more
than seven seconds lower than any two
year-old had ever trotted before. Even
Charles Marvin, who knew he had a
phenomenal youngster, did not antici-
pate such results. He gradually pre-
pared the colt and gave the public con-
elusive proof that the colt was race
horse as we'll as speedy trotter, the
youpgster taking record Of 2:2l
in race. Then it was evident
that Arion was not all out, but had con-
siderable in reserve. The weather for
the next two weeks was very favorable,
and Arion was prepared for trial
against the watch. Those who were
present were hopeful that 2:1S would be
euualled or beaten, but even their fond
est expectations were surpassed, Mar
vim driving the colt from wire TO wire
in 2:l5&l, without the yOungster making
a skip or q break. But all records were
surpassed when Arion marched mile
in the wonderful time Of 2:l0$%.
Horsemen the world over were aston

When the great colt was broken to
harness Marvin said he thought his
gait would be the pace rather than a
trot. He quickly squared away, though,
and improved very rapidly.
Many persons have been estimating
Arion's value, taking AXtel's price as
q standard. Axtell, whose record when
a year older than Arlon was 2:l2 or
second and quarter slower than the
Palo Alto champions at year younger,
sold for sos, 900. Ariel Lathrop, Sena-
tor Stanford's brother-in-law, and
Joseph Cairn Simpson figure on this
basis that Arion is worth $3.50, 900.
The Senator has refused all offers for
the colt, and he will be trained next
year and driven to faster record. That
he will ultimately eclipse all records,
barring accidents, nobody doubts. An
enterprising Iowa horseman has offered
Senator Stanford So, 900 for the privil-
eye OF breeding ten mares TO the phe-
nomenal colt in 1893. The offer was
not accepted.
Arion was photographed while trot-
ting his record mile, and the picture
presented TO the sun is true in life.
Anybody who ever saw Marvin will
recognize him readily. 1t will be seen
that Arion wears plenty Of boots for
protection. He is pure gated, but there
is nothing like protecting the sensitive
parts Of the highly organized trotter.
