THE CHENOWETH CASE
Is Ended and Chenoweth is No
Longer in the Church.
He is Allowed to Withdraw-Proceed
ings Of the M. E. Conference
at Grafton.

GRAFTON, w. Va, Sept. 21.-The
opening of the business session of
the second days session of the West
Virginia conference was preceded by
two services. At 6 o'clock A. NJ,
Bishop Taylor, as was announced,
held sunrise service; probably a
few went to see the Bishops novel
way of conducting meeting of this
kind, not remembering that this used
to be an old Methodist rule.
Promptly at 9 o'clock Bishop Fitz-
gerald took the chair, and after de-
votional exercises the minutes of
yesterdays session were read and
approved.
The first business to attend to was
the case of J. F. Chenoweth, his at
torneys asking that Mr.. Chenoweth
be granted the privilege of withdraw
ing from the conference and the
Methodist Episcopal church under
charges. The conference granted the
request. This ends what has prom
ised to be long, tedious and scan
dalous case. Mr.. Chenoweth now
stands in the same relation to the
church as though he bad been tried
and expelled. The only difference
being the accused chose to go out
that way rather than stand trial.
Chenoweth will remain at Rowles.
burg in mercantile pursuits. He has
only appeared in conference once and
then appeared very much affected
and troubled. He said to reporter.
There we're several of my witne sses
whom / have paid money to bear
travelling expenses and they failed to
come. | could not overcome the tes-
timony of the church and was COM
PEELED to withdraw"

NEW TRIAL FOR sTRA WISER.
The Preston county Murderer is Grant
ed A New Trinl.
Kingwood Argus.

Allen S6rawser, who was tried for
murder at the last term of Court
and found guilty of murder in the
second degree, was granted a new
trial by the Judge. The prisoners
counsel made motion for a new
trial and offered bill of exceptions,
which was argued before the Court
last Friday. The Judge granted the
new trial because of jocular re.
mark made by himself during the
trial and because the charge to the
jury was made in the absence of the
prisoner, although it was discovered
before finishing and the prisoner
brought into Court and the charge
made over again in the presence of
the prisoner, as the law requires, but
it was considered technical ground
for new trial. The prisoner has
everything to gain and nothing to
lose by a new trial, as the verdict
cannot be any worse next time than
it was this time, and may be more
favorable. The law will not allow
him tried again on higher charge
than was found this time. In the
mean time the prisoner will remain
in Jail here till December Court. He
has very able counsel and his attor-
neys are making hard fight.

The track has been laid to the Point

Capt. Boughner, of the Germania,
many persons from the vicinity Of
Brownsville started West. In those
days GAINESVILLE, Ohio, was consider
ed the far West, and when people
left for that place those who remain
ed at home never expected to see
them again. The country was a
bowling wilderness then, but the
change since that time has been al
most marvellous. Capt. Boughner
is 73 years old, and is one of the best

circus, menageries, hippodrome, and
the great historical spectacle OF ssCol-
umbus and the Discovery of America. :"
In the latter part of this performance
alone /, 200 are on view at one time
400 horses, chariots, etc, and it is a
safe prediction to make that nothing
like it has ever been witnessed here.
The whole organization is conducted
with view of presenting the best and
most that money and energy can bring
together. The horses are sleek. finely
kept and strong, the ladies are nearly
all young and pretty, the animals are
SPLENDID specimens of their respective
classes, and full arrangements are
made for the accommodation and COM
fort of visitors.
Among the more notable specimens
of animals in the menagerie are huge
rhinoceros,a gigantic hippopotamus or
blood-sweating behemoth, a cage of
splendid tigers, containing one which
was captured only eight months ago,
and which is the largest in captivity,
an African and two Asiatic lions.
One of these is the original for the
famous painting by Pope, made re-
Gently in London. There are also the
only genuine full-blooded zebra in
America, the rings running down to
his hoofs: well-kept beautiful giraffe,
which never makes sound with his
mouth, never enven utters a grunt, a
harte beast, the only one travelling.
bis antelope, SPLENDID specimen OF
the Indian yak, polar bear recently
brought from Norway, some Persian
sheep, never before exhibited, a nyl-
ghau, and droves of elephants, among
them Tom Thumb, the little trick an
imal whose fame rests upon his hav-
ing been rescued from locomotive by
Jumbo.
The circus exhibited has three rings
and two stages, the racing track, spec
tacle stage 400 feat long, magic illus
trations, and the number of perform
ers is largely in excess of those ever
seen before. Many of them are Euro
pean celebrities, and their acts are
original. The most graceful and diff
cult of all the equestrian acts are per-
formed by young and handsome wom-
en-, and only champions appear in all
the eighty circus acts.
The ring exhibition Of the trained
elephants is an interesting one. One
herd contains half dozen huge beasts,
one of which, only. a few inches less
in height than Jumbo.
Features of the ''Columbus" spec
tacle are an incidental ballet, in
which 200 women and men appear
and triumphal procession of "Col-
umbus," in which 1900 people appear.
A faithful attempt to embody histor-
ical accuracy is made, and the court
of Ferdinand and Isabella furnishes
bundant scope for the costumer,
the designer and stage manager. The
procession stretches twice around the
great tent, and its march is enlivened
by triumphal music.
Everything in and about the Bar
mum & Bailey Show is on scale of
magnitude which implies wonderful
amount of executive ability and thor
ough discipline to manage sccessfully.
The millitl dollar street parade will
take place in the morning.

The Harvest Moon.

The full moon on September 25,
last Monday, is known as the "Har-
vest Moon" In Great Britain Sep
TENDER is the harvest month";" and
the full moon of September is SO call
ed from that fact. The popularity
of this full moon is that it rises sew
eral nights near the same hour in
stead of an hour or more later each
night. In the higher latitude of
Great Britain the phenomenon is
much more striking. At the equator
there is no difference between this
and other full moons. The harvest
moon is due to the fact that at the
time of the autumnal equinox the
full moon, which is necessarily oppo-
site the sun, is in that part of it's or
bit which makes the least possible
angle with the eastern horizon at the
point where the moon rises. In con-
sequence there is an unusual proper
ton of moonlight during September.
On the 18th inst. the moon rose at
or near sunset, 5:51 o'clock, on the
26th at 1923, and at $3.50 on the 9th.

Mr.. and Mrs. Gen. Justus F. Ten

they spent two weeks. Mr.. Temple
stated that they stopped at Pittshnrg

ard As will be remembered, the
latter is a young man well known at
this place, who during the last year
has been the subject Of several most
remarkable surgical operations. He
was attacked ny disease which
necessitated the latter, and while in
the hospital several feet of his mites
tines were removed. Mr.. Temple
states that although the young man s
life was despaired of number of
times, and his complete recovery al
most out of the question, there is
now every indication that be will
soon be completely well. The wounds
made by the operations are not en-
tirely healed but it is thought that
in few months they will be so, and
that young Bayard will soon be able
to leave the hospital.

force to have revenge. Sisler took to
his heels, and ran until the Huns
we're close and he saw that he would

and fired into the crowd. One of
their number fell, and the moe was
checked. Sisler got to Dunbar safely,
where he went at once to Justice S.

Kelly told him he had better go to
Uniontown, so Sisler went up this
morning on the early train and gave
himself up to Sheriff Wilhelm. The
gun with which the Hun was shot is
double barrelled shotgun loaded
with No. 6 shot. Sisler was some
what excited when he came to town
over the affair, and was anxious to
give himself up. He says his case
was merely one of self defense. He
reports that there were several hun
dred Huns in the mob.

PRESTON COUNTY rSAFIx.
II is Thought No County Taxes Can be
Collected Because No Record Was
Made of the levy Term.

The county court Of Preston coun-
ty has gotten itselfinto fix and the
county with it.
The trouble is, that no record was
made of the proceedings of the July
term of Court, which was the Levy
Term and the most important of the
year. The law requires the proceed
ings of the Court to be entered in
the Record Books and approved by
the Court and signed by the Presi.
dent thereof before adjournment.
This was not done, and the proceed
ings have not been entered yet, and
the question now is whether it would
be legal for the Clerk to record what
was done, even if be can, and wheth-
er the President would have any right
to sign such records now.
The States Attorney, Mr.. d. NJ.
Wotring, has been trying to get the
County Court and the Clerk to con
form to the law and urged that the
records be properly kept, but no at
tention was paid to him, and he fin
ally gave notice that if it was not
done by September 18th he would
ask for mandamus compelling it.
As no heed was given this, he pro
ceeded to do as he said he would,
and the following order was granted
by Judge Hoke in the Circuit Cour.
here last Friday:
State of West Virginia by d. NJ.
Wotring, Prosecuting Attorney. VS.
County County of Preston county.
Rule for mandamus requiring the
Court to show cause why it did not
cause record Of its proceedings at
its July term, 1898. to be entered
from day to day while in session.
and why it did not enter of record
all its proceedings before its final
adjournment, as required by law,
and further to show cause why it
does not in all cases make up the
records each day and enter the same
and have the President of the Court
sign the records while the Court is
in session."
Lawyers are of the opinion that no
county taxes can be collected this
year, since the orders of the Court
laying the levy has not been record
ed and the time for so doing now
having expired, it leaves the county
in bad shape. The State tax and
school tax having been regularly
made and recorded by other bodies
are of course all right and can be
collected, but it is very doubtful if
the county tax can be legally col
lected, and a number of our heaviest
tax payers have declared their in
tention of refusing to pay any coun.
ty tax for this year until test case
can be made, and arrangements are
being made to test the mat
ter in the Courts by one or two heavy
tax payers.
