THE WESTON LYNCHING
Condemned by the Best People Of Wes-
ton-COrOn0r's Verdict.

WESTON, W. VA, July 6.-The
lynching that took place here at an
early hour this morning has been the
talk of the town all day. The feel
ing generally is that Jones received
his just dues, but not in the right
way, the better class being opposed
to the lynch law. 1t is the first
hanging that ever took place in the
county, and under the circumstances
has caused no end of excitement
The body of Jones was not taker
down until 9 o'clock. Daylight
found hundreds of people lining the
river banks eager to get a glimpse
of the murderer and convince them
selves that it was true that such ar
occurrence could have taken place
At seven the funeral of Tierney
started to his last resting place. o.
their journey they had to cross Thu
bridge under which hung the lifeles'
body Of the murderer.A Photographic
present obtained a good view of thu
procession moving over the bridge
The coroner's jury found vcrdio
that "Jones came to his death b,
hanging at the hands Of unknown
parties His body was at ono
turned over to his relatives and vii

COL. r. E. FAST
Talks to d Wheeling Newspaper Man
and Gives Some Facts Aboct Nor
gantown.
Wheeling News.


Col. r. E. Fast, ex Mayor, ex- Clerk
of the Circuit Court, and Pooh Bah
in general of Morgantown, is in the
city to day. Col. Fast is a genial
gentleman, an ardent Republican
politician, and above all a hustling
Morgantown Soomer. A Neus re-
porter had an interesting interview
with him at the Mcclure house last
night.
"Whom do the Monongalia Re
publicans favor for GOVERNOR ask
ed the reporter.
"Well, we would like to see Elkins
nominated, if he will accept, and |
think he will. After Elkins, / do
not know who would be the choice
of the Monongalia Republicans.
Either Atkinson, Morris, or any
other good Republican would be ac-
ceptable to u.s."
"Who is talked of for the con-
gressional nomination against Will
liam L. Wilson,"
$40 tell the truth, / have never
heard the matter discussed / don't
know that THERE'S a single candidate
in the field"
Col. Fast is interested in Morgan
towns boom, and when the reporter
changed the subject he grew trifle
more communicative.
'Morgantown," he said in reply to
questions, sis enjoying very rapid
and very substantial growth. Dur
ing the last year over sixty new
houses were put up in the town, be-
sides the handsome University build
ing and Court House. Within an
other year Morgantown will be con
nected with Pittsburg by rail; the
B. Il o. is now building its connec-
tion from Uniontown, and when
this line is completed it will be quite
stimulus to the towns growth.
We have recently completed negotia-
tions with a number of important
industrial concerns and we expect
to have some of them in operation in
the vicinity in a very short time.
On the WHOLE" concluded Col. Fast,
1--WE Morgantown people are very
well pleased with the business pros
poets of our town.

A Tribute to Charles William Moore

We take from the ReUeflle, a mag.
azine published by the Pennsylvania
Military Academy, an obituary Of
Charles William Moore, whose death
has already been noticed in these
columns:
High spirited, conscientious in
the performance of duty, whether
academic or military, mindful of the
feelings of others, joyous in sport.
energetic in all things, and above all
an outspoken christian, his influence
was of the kind to be desired. This
was his first year with us, but his
stay, though brief, was long enough
for him to attain a fine class stand
ing, in addition to leaving with us
the impress of his character. His
chosen profession was that of civil
engineering, the practice of which
he hoped to begin upon graduating
from the academy
An extract from a letter by one
who knew him well, says:
"He longed to be useful to his
classmates and looked forward to
the time when he might go out with
his father and be enabled to do some
good to his old friends the sailors

The building Boom Still On.

The houses of Prof. White and
Clarence McVicker on Wiley street
are both ready for the painters, as is
that of Mrs. South on the North
side. On High street the houses of
Col Dan johnson, L. V. Keck. Fl.
M. Morgan and F. II. Rice are
nearing completion. The Fleming
Coyle dwelling on the Seminary lot
is receiving its finishing touches, the
foundation of the Brock, Wade and
Reed business block is almost com
pleted, new addition is to be built
to the M. E. parsonage, the walls OF
the Mechanical hall on the Universe
ty grounds are up, and the bids fol
the construction of the new Science
hall, opposite the old college build
ing, are to be opened to-day. The
latter will be handsome structure
costing about $40,0000O In this
brief summary of the building that
is going on we have probably omitted
to mention some houses that are go
ing up off of the main streets. The
number and kind of houses that are
being built shows that our town is
having a steady substantial growth
there,is nothing ephemeral OF eyanes
cent about it.

KILLED ON THE RAIL.
Mrs. John Dodd, Formerly of this
County Killed at FairmOnt.
Fairmont Index.

Last Friday morning Mrs. John
Dodd, of Johntown, met with hor-
rible death. She lived very close to
the railroad track, and between her
house and a grocery on the opposite
side of the road there is switch
which is usually full of cars. Last
Friday Mrs. Dodd wanted to 60 to
the store, and noticing narrow pas
sage between the cars, attempted to
pass through it, when she was struck
by the cars coming together, and
knocked down on the track, and one
car passed over her body, MASKING
and bruising her in horrible man
ner. She lived about a half an hour
after the accident. The unfortunate
lady evidently did not notice that
there was an engine attached to one
end of the cars when she attempted
to pass between the empties. She
leaves a husband and two or three
small children, and was in an inter
esting condition at the time of Der
death Her maiden name was
Taught, and her fathers family re-
Gently moved to this community

about twenty seven years of age.

In Favor of HukilI.

The now famous oil suit of Thomas
and others against Z. NJ. Hukill
has again been decided in favor
of the defendant, this time in the U.
S. Court
The suit is concerning land in
this county, owned by W. P. Core
and leased for oil purposes, first by
Hukill, then by Thomas.
Thomas first brought suit against
Hukill for possession in the state OF
Pennsylvania, witch suit was dis
missed for want of jurisdiction, then
the Circuit Court Of Monongalia
county gave Thomas judgment for
the property, this judgement having
been reversed by the State Supreme
court, Thomas brought the present
suit for cjectment in the U. 5. Court
which Judge Golf decided as above
stated.
The suit involves $4,000 and will
now be carried to the Circuit Court
Of Appeals.

UNITY AND HARMONY
OF Action is What ''ObseryerD Coun-
sells and He is Right.

To the Editor of the New DoMINIoE:
Let us not deceive ourselves; we have
work before us in this campaign. Let
us remember that we have to contend
with an enemy-an enemy for all that
the word implies-that is full Of resour-
ces, and will not vacate until they fight
over inch of ground, and even then may
as in re and 81 try to defy the voice OF
the people.
In such campaign let every man who
claims to be a democrat fall into ranks
and do his duty. We don't want any
| BUSH hackers around shooting our own
men, and this thing of certain so-called
democratic newspapers keeping up a
guerrilla war against certain newspa-
pers like the New York Sun and certain
of our political leaders like Hill, German
and others, is getting to be nuisance
that should be abated. The Book teach
es that whatsoever is not for is against
us, and if you have did it to the least Of
one of these We have did it unto me, SO
it is very plain inference that in con-
tinuing to fight any of us they are fight
| ing us all.
Dana has fallen into ranks and is do
| ing good service now; he ate his crow
| like little man and says he would ratb-
err vote a ticket with the devil at the
head than for good Mr. Harrison with a
force bill in his pocket. What better can
we ask and what better argument can
any one produce?
The danger signal is very fully dis
played in that one sentence, and it is
worth dozen whines of gold bugs for
campaign purposes.
AS for Hill we have always believed
him to be one of the worst lied on men
in the United States AS for Gray, Cor
man or Boies-is there is any reason why
they should not seek presidential hon
ors? As for Watterson and others like
some of our own delegates for instance
is there any reasons why they should not
have opinions of their own?
Is it treason to think and act for your
self? Are we going to deny the right to
think or the liberty Of speech in this
country where the people are said to
rule? Cannot any man seek for posi-
ton or must it be only as the bosses may
elect?
Gentlemen ii you only see what your
course augurs you would quit your un-
gallant and Ingentlemanly stabs at
mems backs, and try to merit fame foI
the good deeds you did on the front Of
the field.
Come now let this internecine warfare
cease or we will name few Of you. Let
us have no more sensational articles like
the secret candidate, or we propose to
strike If it does hurt. OBSERVER.

paIatine Post once Robbed.

On Thursday night. June 80, a
thief or thieves broke into the post
office at Palatine, and failing to find
any money tore open a number of
letters and scattered them over the
floor. They also entered the grocery
store of James Steady, next door to
the post office, and destroyed some
green goods. As yet there is no
clue to the perpetrators of the bold
deed.

citation.

The first series of stock in this
Association has matured and the
distribution of stock to those who
have not already been paid will take
place on Wednesday evening, the
goth, for which time stockholders
meeting has been called.
The officers of this association de-
serve a word Of praise for the sue
cessful manner in which the bust
ness has been conducted. E. Shis-
Ter has been the president during
the existence of the association. DR.
Coombs has been its secretary, and
DR.. Casselberry has been its treas
urer. The board Of directors were:
E. Shisler, DR.. Coombs, Manliff
Hayes, j. M. Reed, r. e. Fast, VIM
Moorhead and j. E. Fleming. The
stock amounted to little over one
hundred thousand dollars and this
money has been collected and loaned
with loss of only $3.50. $500
of this was paid for insurance on a
piece Of real estate that was in liti.
cation ON which the Association had
trust and which was paid rather
than jeopardize several hundred dol
lars that were uninsured. 1t was
the proper thing to do and what any
board Of directors would have done
under the circumstances. To sum
up, it is rare that an association is
as successful as this one has been
A new series Of stock has been
started and will continue under the
present charter. Any one wanting
stock must leave their names with
DIR Casselberry and make the initia
payment.
