or Interest to Towns.

The Supreme Court on last Satur-
day rendered a decision in the case
of Themes F. Watson against the
Town of Faiymont, which is of great
Importance to incorporated towns.
The nature Of the case is as follows:
Mr.. Watson does not live in the town,
but owned some stock in the Farm
er's Bank, which was situated in the
town. For a number of years the
town authorities assessed Mr.. Wat
son with corporation tax on his bank
stock. He paid it for some time,
but finally concluded that as he did
not reside in the corporation the
town had no right to tax him upon
this stock, and brought suit before
Justice T. A. Fleming to recover the
amount he had paid. The Justice,
upon hearing the evidence, rendered
judgment in Mr.. Watson's favor
for The whole amount of his claim.
The town then appealed the case to
the Circuit Court, and upon an agree.
ment Of facts this Court reversed the
judgment of the Justice and dismiss
ed the plaintiffs case. The parties
then agreed upon the facts, which are
substantially as stated above, and the
case was taken to the Supreme Court.
On last Saturday this Court handed
down decision reversing the Circuit
Court and sustaining the judgment
of the Justice. Judge Dent render
ed the opinion of the Court

THAT ARNErrsvILtE ROBBERY.
The Citizens in a Mood TO Endorse
Judge Lynch.

GkcRskrewa, Nov. 21.-The store Of
S. A. Barker and brother at Arnettsville
was robbed on Friday night last, the
thieves getting away with the contents
OF the money drawe, from $50 to S25 and
two pairs Of shoes, several razors, pair
OF hair clippers etc.
Now il this had been the FIRST depre-
dation of the kind that had been com
mitted in the neighborhood we could
well afford to congratulate ourselves that
we were virtually free from lawlessness
at Georgetown but as there has been
petty thieving going on here for CON
siderable length OF time, We can not
claim snch immunity.
Potatoes, apples, cider, and even meat
have mysteriously disappeared lately
and now when such things are all hous-
ed valuable dog in the neighborhood
has been poisoned in a manner that
leaves little doubt that il was done to
get rid of him so that further depreda-
tons may be perpetrated without so
much chance of detection.
Well il these things are to go on the
citizens will be left to take care OF their
property as they see iit-and il may not
be amiss to warn these persons OF the
dangers that do environ the men who

Painting the Clark Building.

Charley Allebaugh and Arl Lew
ellen have been busy several days
painting the dull, grim exterior of
the Clark building, which occupies
an unwelcome corner of the public
square. The old structure is much
improved by the new light tint in
which it shows itself off, in fact,
looks better than would have been
supposed. But there are those who,
while maintaining a spirit pleased
with every evidence of ornamentation
to the town, will be sorry to see the
old Clark building reprinted and re-
juvenated as if taking new lease of
life. They consider that the owner
would not 60 to the expense of hav-
ing the new paint put on if there is
an early prospect of the county pur-
chasing it, tearing it down and max
ing the ground on which it stands a
portion of the court house grounds.
The new paint looks bad for this
taking place within anything like a
short time.
But If the county is not going to
purchase it very soon--it will some
day-the people are glad to see its
appearance improved. If it must
stand let it stand in as bright colors
as possible, which assists in the
amelioration of its gloomy contrast
with it's otherwise beautiful surround
ings,

Back From California.

: j. L. Arnett, son Of Silas Arnett,
Of Arnettsville, was here all last
week, having just returned from
California. He went west when he
was l5 years old and has been gone
for l5 years. Not once during that
time had he revisited his old home
in this county. He was all through
the west and some years ago went to
California and engaged in mining,
coming cut with enough ahead to
buy fine farm. He worked his
land in alfalfa crops and was sue
cessful, but nearly every paper he
saw had something to say of either
the wonderful development or the
bright future of West Virginia and
he determined to return to the land
of his nativity. 1t is pleasure to
state that he will be a permanent
resident Of Monongalia, possibly of
Morgantown. While in California
Mr.. Arnett was married to an esti-
mable young lady whose native
state is Maine. She accompanied
him here.

The Lords PRAYER.

To the Editor of the New DOMINION:
You recently offered one years
subscription to your valuable paper
to the person who would point out
the error in the Lords Prayer. The
error, if one occur in the Prayer, is
in the last sentence. This sentence
reads: sFor thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory, for
ever" 1t is claimed by some
grammsrians that the verb
should be in the plural number in
accordance with the following we'll
known rule: "a finite verb having
two or more subjects joined by and
and not modified by no. each,
every or similar adjective, is in
the plural number if they represent
different persons OF things
If the last sentence of the Prayer
were transposed it would read: The
kingdom, and the power, and the
glory is thiae 1t is claimed that
ARE" should be properly substituted
for lis"
On the other hand there are
grammarians who claim that there
is no error in the Prayer. The
meaning Of the last sentence is ex-
pressed as follows: For thine Is the
Kingdom, and thine is the power,
and thine is the glory, forever With
this reading the verb is properly in
the singular. After all, then, it is a
matter of opinion. TEACHER

Wheeling Squeals.

That must be a queer kind of foot
ball team at Wheeling. Some time
ago the W. V. u. team received a
challenge to come down Thanksgiv-
ing day and play on the fair grounds.
The Varsity team considered the
matter for short time, and then
sent on their acceptance of the kick
ing banter from Wheeling. Satur-
day letter came to the local organ
ization from their cballengers, stat
ing that they would have to with
draw their agreement, as they had
made arrangements to do some other
kicking that day, but that the boys
here could get game with them
any time after Thanksgiving before
Christmas. SO the Thanksgiving
game is settled, but the Wheelin q
fellows will be matched against the
boys they disappointed at some date,
to be decided upon later. before the
holidays begin. The Wheeling team
is open to a good deal of adverse
riticism for first sending chal-
lenge, having it accepted, and then
going back on the whole business.
The boys here claim that Wheeling
has some professional timber in the
make up of its team, but they are not
afraid Of professionals. They have
sent their annual challenge to Wash
JEFF, and its acceptance is being
looked for That will be game
The Varsity team is kept in prac-
tice nearly every day by picked
clubs, and is always successful-not
defeat being suffered so far They
have good grounds in the cadets pa.
rade court, and draw many specba;
tors.

SMALLPOX.
Only One Case Reported at Bridgeport
The Case Guaranteed and no More
Trouble ADprehended.

Additional details Of the small
pox outbreak at Bridgeport, Harri-
son county, state that only one case
has appeared as yet. Miss Goodie
johnson is the lady stricken with
the disease, and the attack is regard
ed as light one.
Miss johnson had just returned
from Chicago about eighteen days
previous to the appearance Of the
disease, and was in school when ia
ken down. No other members of
her party have been affected, nor
have any of her school mates been
stricken. The case is quarantined,
and the medical authorities do not
apprehend any further spread of the
disease, thinking that too long a
time has elapsed for any further
cases to result from the exposure to
which Miss Johnson's party was
subjected during the Chicago trip,
and that the disease had not suffi
GENTLY developed to cause any Of the
young lady's school mates to con-
tract the dread malady.
At a meeting of the town council
of Clarksburg, resolution was
adopted suggesting that in view Of
the existence of smallpox at Bridge
port it would be well for the town
authorities Of Bridgeport and Clarks-
burg and she county authorities to
act in conjunction and establish q
strict local quarantine about the
houses in Bridgeport in which per-
sons affected with smallpox or ex-
posed to the disease are located.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
Charley McElroy the Victim Of His
Cousins UnintentiOnal Aim.

Charley McElroy, living near Ope-
kiska, this county, is the victim of
a braggadocia flourish of revolver
in his cousins hands. Thursday
evening a number of young men
were coming down the railroad on a
hand car Eph McEltoy was abroad.
He had been drinking considerable,
and pulled his revolver, fourishing
it around with no intention to shoot,
but talking big about what be could
do if there was necessity for gun
play. In some accidental manner
the weapon was discharged and
Charley McElroy was shot.
The ball entered at the hip, strik-
ing the hip bone and glancing down
ward five inches. He was taken off
at Opekiska and DIR. Few probed for
and extracted the ball. The pistol
was a big 3S calibre Smith q Wes-
son. The ball first went through an
overcoat, sack coat, the Wristbands
Of two pairs of trousers and pair
of flannel drawers before striking the
flesh. The young man is by no
means badly hurt, but though the
escape from being fatally wounded
was but by small margin No one
deplores the accident more than the
young man who did the shooting
1t was entirely accidental and there
is no bad feeling between the cous-

Two More Fever Cases.

John L. Jones wife, who has been
for some time at the bedside of her
husband at Clark Jones', is now af-
flicted with the fever, as is also a
young daughter of Clark Jones.
This makes three cases now at. the
home of the keeper of the county in
Urinary. The two new cases men
toned are reported to be very severe
for the short length of time since at
tackled. The county infirmary has
been very unfortunate in the num-
Der Of cases TO inmates, but the fact
that the disease has spread to the
family of the warden makes it par
ticularly sad. John L. Jones has
lost daughter and son by the
scouFge, one son was for a time
near deaths door, he has been dan
gerouslv i'll with the same malady
for several weeks himself, and now
his wife and one of his grandchil-
dren have their lives threatened
with it. Surely, this family has
had terrible experience, entailing
much sadness and suffering with ty-
phoid fever.

To Be of Rough Stone.

The material to be used in the
construction of the hotel near Camp
Eden that is now building,is stone
not nicely-cut, smooth-laid, exact
stone, but rough, picked up stone,
which will present craggy but beau
tiful exterior. Large and small
stones, of all shapes, placed in lime
mortar, will compose the walls of the
structure. This substance and the
manner in which it will be put to-
gether will add greatly to the struc-
ture's attractiveness and make it a
great deal more in harmonious pic
turesqueness with the surroundings.
The building will be 40 feet in
front, 80 feet high and have side
wings, balconies. &c. Besides this a
lookout house, frame, is to be built
and drawn up and placed on the cliff
overlooking all the country round.
Mr.. Dean says that the hotel will be
completed by the opening of the com
ing season, but if this is done it will
take decided hustling. The fact that
it is to be of stone will prevent work
being done at all during greater
part of the winter. 1t is confidently
expected by the protector of the en-
terprise that there will be 100 board
ers the season through, and the rates
will not be low
But it is to be no cheap affair It's
completion is certain to mark the
beginning of Cheat as fashionable
resort, which. strictly speaking, il
has never been heretofore.
