man Smith fatally shot Vinson Nelson

had been trouble between the men, and
when they met they simultaneously be-
gan firing at short range. Smith sue
ceeded in putting ball from Colts

but was himself unhurt. Smith was
jailed, but the mountaineers are much
excited, and it is not improbable that
the shooting was preliminary to another
vendetta. During religious revival at

Forming n Glass Combine.

WHEELING, w. Va, Jan. 5.-Prelim-
mary steps were taken here to-day in
the formation of powerful glass COM
bine to oppose the United States Glass
Company. The companies in the COM
bine will number ten or twelve of the
strongest companies that arc not
already in the United States Glass
Trust. The companies named as mem.
bers of the new concern are the Crys-
tai, Northwood, Buckeye and Elson, of
Martins Ferry; the North Wheeling
Bottle Works, tho Wheeling Lamp and
Stamping Company, the Riverside and
Standard Glass Works, of Wellsburg,
and the Fostoria Glass Works, OF
Moundsville. The combined capital
will be in the neighborhood of $4,000
600. Tho projectors of tho company
state that their object is to protect the
interests of smaller concerns against
the methods of the United States Glass
Trust.

"a Majority"

According to recent decision of tho
French council Of state, unanimous
vote may be cast in favor of candi-
date at an election, and the can dilate
may yet fail of receiving majority"
and OF being elected. Recently, in the
town of Montlercon, France, in On cleo
ton for small local office, only ono
voter presented himself to cast his bal
lot. He voted + Monsieur Bagneux
for the office; and Monsieur Bagneux,
having received all the votes cast, was
declared elected. But the matter was
carried before the council of state.
which promptly annulled tho election,
declaring that n majority of votes
cast" was necessary to elect, and that,
as "a maj ority" means "the greater
number" there could only be ma jority
where there were more than one. 1t
is presumable, from this decision. that
IL two votes had been cast for Monsieur
Bagneux. these two votes would have
been held 10 constitute a ma jority:
just as two sheep have been said 10
constitute flock OF sheep" and two

All day long groups of people have
been coming to look at the carpenters
at work on the Watkins gallows. The
board pen IS nearly completed and is so
high that no one will be able to see what
is going on inside unless they get re-
served seat on top of the courthouse.
The scaffold is finished all but tho
steps and the trap door. THE TINES re-
porter obtained q ladder yesterday,
climbed up and measured the pencil
marks which outline the trap, and found
it to be three by four feet in size. The
floor of the scaffold is between six and
seven feet from the ground, SO that a
five-foot drop can be given, if necessary.
The condition of Watkins romans un-
changed. Farrer Frog, a colored crimi-
nal confined in the lower cells, says that
Charles is perfectly quiet except when
he hears footsteps or voices, and then

A NEW HORSE TEST.

Yawnins Sign of Equine Amia-
bllity.
There are different methods of iudg-
ing of the temper of horses, but one OF
the most unique was that used by an
old lady who was fond of buying them
and who was withal of eccentric turn
of mind. 1t was one of the old lady's
peculiarities that she did not like to
come downstairs, and for months to-
gether she was in the habit of living
entirely upon the second floor of q
large, old-fashioned country house
where she dwelt. AS horses could not
well be brought to the second story,
and as she would insist in going on
with her purchases, her custom was to
have the animals paraded up and down
In the garden walks under her window,
proceeding which SO damaged the
walks that the gardener was in a con-
slant state of fury. It was difficult to
see just how much the old lady could
tell from her observations from aloft.
and the poor bargains which she made
proved that her method, whatever it
was, was not to be depended upon.
Once when she had bought horse so
vicious that it kicked it's stall to pieces
and nearly murdered its groom, her
niece had the boldness to demonstrate.
Aunt Sarah" she said. lyon can't
tell by inst looking out of the window
If horse is vicious. and it isn't safe to
go on in this way"
You let me attend to my own bust
ness" the old lady replied with much
asperity. THAT horse was all right.
The groom must have done something
to make him wild. I know that the
horse was gentle, for saw him yawn
before bought him, and it staEds to
reason that vicious horse would not
yawn. boston Courier.
