Shot in the Abdomen.

Sunday night abont 8 O'Clock two
pistol shots were heard in the western
part of the city. in the vicinity of Dry
Creek followed by the cry of "Murder!n
Persons living in the vicinity hurried to
the point from which the alarm came,
and discovered a man lying upon the
ground, suffering from the effect of
wound in the abdomen, caused by q
ball from 32>calliber Remington pis-
toll The injured man proved to be
Proctor Booze, a painter in the employ
of the Wlthrow Lumber Company, who
was out on lark with a soiled dove
by the name OF Carrie Silvey, a mulatto.
employed AS domestic by Capt. NJ H.
Haynes. The girl attempted to remove
the pistol from Booze's hip pocket, and
in doing so, it was discharged, the ball
taking effect in the pit of the stomach.
When discovered the woman frankly
admitted her guilt, but claimed that the
shooting was purely accidental, and
this statement was corroborated by
Booze himself. He was removed to his
boarding house, in the "Stull & Payne"
building where Dr. Lewis examined the
wound and found it to be of a very dams
gerous character the chances of recov-
cry in such cases being extremely
doubtful. However, the patient is still
alive, and is perhaps past the danger
point. His home is four miles South
west of Buchanan. Va, at ''Booze's"
Mill, the former residence of the late
Squire Joel Booze.
The family were notified by telegraph
and his mother and sister arrived here
on Monday morning last, and are min
istering to the wants of the unfortunate.
No arrests were made

A Miraculous Escape.

On Sunday evening last, Mr. Peyton
Y Alley, fireman on the G. & O. rails
road, residing at Anderson, W. Va, and
brother of Engineer Lon f. Alley of this
city was on his engine, which had
stopped to take water at Fayette Water
Station, about so miles west of Hinton,
he stepped off the engine to the ground
as he supposed-but unfortunately..an
open culvert was there into which he
fell, distance of 80 feet, breaking his
right arm, dislocatipg his left elbow and
spraining one of his ankles He was
soon rescued from his perilous position
and removed to his home and is inn
proving as fast as the nature of his in
juries will permit. That he escaped in
slant death can only be explained on
the ground of Providential interference,
He has been on the road but short
time, and we regret that he has met
with such serious injury

A Narrow Escape.

Clarence, the twelve year old son OF
Photographer Griffith, while watching
the exciting match game of ball in the
fiat on Saturday evening last, was
struck full in the face, near the left eye,
by foul ball at short range. The force
of the lick felled him to the ground, and
for short time it was thought he was
fatally injured, but restoratives were
applied and he soon rallied. He was
removed to his home, and suffered Sc
yerely, his cheek becoming very much
swollen and his eye closed and turned
purple, and is still in that condition,
but the sight is not thought to have
been injured. He is able to walk about,
wearing shade over the injured eye.
1t was remarkable escape from instant
death

Base Bali Notes.

On last Saturday the people of Clifton
Forge had the pleasure Of witnessing
the best game Of base bali that has ever
been played in this section OF the State.
The contestants were the "Roncevertes"
and the editions" 1t would be diff
emit TO find two teams more evenly
matched than these: the advantage or
late being slightly in favor OF the Cilf-
tons. There are men on each OF the
teams that would do creditable playing
on professional nine Indeed, the
game was from beginning to end supe-
rior to the average professional game.
The score, to 2 in favor of the Cliftons,
proves conclusvely that nothing but
good work was done The Ronceverte
team is composed of a nice gentlemanly
set of fellows, and they all know how to
play ball. Their battery is exceptional
" strong The same may be said OF the,
Cliftons They are players and know
how to behave themselves. A better set
of Young men could not be found. They
have every reason to be proud of their
last victory, and the Roncevertes have
no need to be ashamed of their defeat.
We trust the good feeling existing be-
tween these two excellent teams may
ever continue, and we may many times
again have the opportunity to see them
cross bats.
On next Saturday afternoon the
Craigsville nine will try it's strength
against the Cliftons at the grounds of
the latter. We don't know anything
personally of the Craigsville boys, but
they are reported to understand the
business.
The managers of the Greenbrier In
dustrial Exposition have arranged for a
series of games to be played during the
Fair at Lewisburg, as follows: On the
first day of the Fair aug. 3O) the Hinton
and Lewisburg teams will meet; on the
second day Aug. 80 the Ronceverte
team will play the winning team of the
first day; and on the third day Sept y
the 'Cliftons'' will play the winning
team of the second day, for a purse of
800 and award of championship. This
will be an extremely Interesting series
and shonld be drawing card for the
Fair We hope as many of our people
as can do SO will accompany our boys to
Lewisburg, and encourage their efforts.

A Close Call.

Mr.. Ballard Fontaine met with pain
full accident at the yards in this place
last Friday evening. He was '.bleeding"
a car of his train, which was just on the
eve of going out, when the yard engine
backed several cars past him on the
track at his side, one of which struck
him and knocked him senseless beneath
his train. His perilous position was
seen by those near who quickly rescued
him and carried him to his home. His
head sustained severe bruises and cuts
and several of his toes were badly
mashed. He is now rapidly recovering
and is to be congratulated on having
escaped terrible injury. His mother,
Mrs. Fontaine, has arrived here from

The Y. M. G.. A. Building.

Although no great stir has been made
in soliciting contributions for the com
modious and imposing Y. NJ. G. A. build
ing to be erected, Mr. H. c. Moornan,
who has the work i'll hand in coniunc-
tion with Committee of the local Asso-
citation has met with generous encour-
agement, and the early contamination
of the undertaking is now assured be-
yond question. Thus another impor-
tant institution has been permanently
established in our growing and prosper
Gus city, which will prove a blessing to
the entire community. Those who have
not given financial aid to this praise
worthy object should do so at once. 1t
is an investment which will bring a
handsome return in building up a
healthy moral sentiment, and also i'm
prove the physical condition of the
young men who come under its infiu-
ence.
While the building is practically Sc
cured, there still remains few hundred
dollars to be raised between this time
and Saturday night, as Mr.. Moorman's
time is limited to that date, and if we
are to secure the building, which will
prove one of the greatest helps Clifton
Forge could possibly get, it will be nee
essary for our business men who have
not subscribed SO far, to act promptly.
